When the Shen family got married, General Lao Zhenbei was valued by the first emperor, and Shen was his only daughter.

At that time, the queen at that time, the eldest princess, and the young lady of the Jingzhong family all went to the general's mansion to add makeup.

Therefore, the dowry of the Shen family back then was comparable to that of several county lords in Beijing.

The old lady and Su Wenche looked at each other twice, and didn't speak for a long time.

In a big family, no one will want to take the dowry of a daughter-in-law, and it will be ridiculed if it is passed on.

If the Shen family insists on pursuing the case, the government will cooperate to get the dowry back.

"Yuntang, how much silver do we have in our account?" The old lady frowned and asked, in the past few years, the middle feeds in the house have been managed by the Lu family, and she rarely asked.

Lu's eyes were momentarily flustered, and he said stubbornly: "There are less than 10,000 taels of silver." ”

The old lady asked with a calm face, "How come?" I remember that when Yunqing was a housekeeper in the past, there was never less than 50,000 taels of silver in his account. ”

When the Lu family heard the old lady mention the Shen family, she was a little unhappy in her heart, but her face was silent, "Old lady, the harvest has not been good in the past few years, and the business of the shop is not as good as before. The eldest lady wants so much silver all at once, does she want our lives? ”

Su Moyue snorted, "If you return the dowry you took away, I estimate that it will be 30,000 taels, and my father can pay some back every year, so naturally I can't force my father." ”

When Su Wenche heard this, he nodded hurriedly, "Yes, if those dowries are returned, there will be nothing missing." ”

Lu's face stiffened, those dowries were carefully selected by her, and they had already been boxed, just waiting for Zhihan to get married.

If she returns it, what will the Hou Mansion use to buy a dowry for her precious daughter?

If you don't have a dowry, you will marry into the royal family, and you will be inferior.

"Miss, why don't we divide these 110,000 taels into a few years?" Lu and Su Moyue discussed.

The corners of Su Moyue's mouth rose, but her eyes were cold, "Aunt Lu has a good idea, the dowry given by the Hou Mansion to the concubine is only five thousand taels." Hello, you took my mother's dowry of 80,000 taels, and the ones you picked are all treasures. ”

As he spoke, he picked up the dowry book, walked to the old lady, pointed to a page of the dowry book, and said: "Grandmother, look, this jade Ruyi was rewarded by the Queen Mother, if the Queen Mother knew that her reward was given to the concubine, I don't know how to feel." And this dagger was given by the eldest princess, and you know the temper of the eldest princess. ”

The old lady looked at it carefully and chuckled in her heart. Fortunately, Su Moyue insisted on going back, otherwise by the time Su Zhihan got married, the Su family would really become the laughing stock of Beijing.

The Lu family is also stupid, and he dares to take the things that are given by the emperor as his own. When the time comes, being stabbed to the Queen Mother and the eldest princess, will the Su family still have a good life?

In the blink of an eye, he slapped the table, "Yuntang, open the warehouse, and return everything that is indispensable." ”

Lu Yuntang saw that the old lady was angry, so he had to promise and didn't dare to refute.

By the time Su Wenche wrote and left the book, Cuilan's dowry back to the treasury had been counted.

Su Moyue said unhurriedly, "Father, write an IOU of 30,000 taels of silver." ”

Su Wenche was stunned for a moment, and then his shoulders trembled with anger in an instant, "You... You wicked girl, I should have fallen to death in the first place! ”

The old lady also scolded angrily: "You're not done yet? And the book of separation was also written, and the dowry was returned to you, and now you are actually humiliating your father. I'm Pingyang Houfu, when did I write an IOU to someone, cough cough cough cough ......"

"Are you alright, old lady? Drink a glass of warm water, come on, hurry to the doctor. The eldest lady is really capable, and she makes the old lady angry. Lu said while rubbing the old lady's chest.

Su Moyue only felt ironic, if her grandmother had drunk the soup she boiled, she would have been cured a long time ago. Now, she is angry.

"Grandmother, it's not that I want to persecute my father, it's really hard for my grandmother to explain if I don't write an IOU. You know her old man, if you provoke her to get angry, go and sue the royal court, I can't stop her. ”

Su Moyue's words are undoubtedly threatening, the old lady knows that by now, they have been led away by Su Moyue, and this IOU will not work if it is not written.

Su Wenche didn't know whether he was ashamed or angry, his face was swollen and red, and his eyes were full of hatred when he looked at Su Moyue.

After writing the IOU, he threw it in Su Moyue's face, "Get out of the Su family for me, whether you are dead or alive in the future has nothing to do with my Su family." ”

Su Moyue blinked her eyes twice vigorously, and said indifferently: "That's nature, father... Do it yourself. ”

After speaking, he took Cuilan to the inner room without looking back.

Shen Ping had already loaded the dowry with the guards, and prepared a wide carriage, and the pearls and jadeites were laid out thick inside, and the corners around were full of stoves.

Su Moyue personally wrapped the quilt for the Shen family and hugged her, covering her head tightly.

A line of hot tears ran down his cheeks and fell onto the brocade quilt.

Thinking of the suffering and abuse suffered by her mother in her previous life, Su Moyue only felt that her heart was like a knife.

In this life, she will never let her mother suffer again.

The carriage traveled to the gate of the General's Mansion, and Old Lady Shen Chen was looking forward to it at the gate.

Seeing the convoy approaching, I couldn't help but wipe the corners of my eyes with my sleeve.

Su Moyue saw that her grandmother was busy getting out of the car to salute, and she wanted to hug Shen down again.

Old Madam Shen hurriedly stopped, "Let your cousin come, Shi Yu, let the carriage into the inner courtyard first, and then carry your aunt down, and carefully keep the wind away." ”

Su Moyue watched her fourth cousin Shen Shiyu properly settle the subordinates she brought over, and her heart could be considered to settle down.

Holding Mrs. Shen's arm, "Grandmother, my mother and I will give the Shen family ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Old Madam Shen, "Don't talk about this, it's too late for your grandmother to be happy when you come back, and I will comfort your mother." ”

Su Moyue's eyes were sour, and she looked sideways at her grandmother's pale temples, and her tears couldn't stop slipping down.

In her previous life, she watched hundreds of members of the Shen family being killed with a cane, and she still remembers the taste of piercing her heart and bones.

Shen Shiyu turned around and saw Su Moyue's slightly red eyes and tears on her cheeks, and hurriedly ran over.

"What's going on? Who messed with our eldest lady of the Shen family? Isn't it just King Rong? Don't cry, cousin avenges you. ”

Shen Shiyu is the one who knows how to observe words and emotions among the six sons of the Shen family.

In a few words, Su Moyue burst into tears and laughed.

Old Madam Shen looked at Shen Shiyu dotingly, "After you settle your aunt, let someone go outside the city to inquire and see what time your eldest uncle can enter the city tomorrow." ”

Speaking of the injured Shen Ye, a heavy look of worry appeared on the old lady's face.

Su Moyue had to comfort: "Don't worry, grandmother, my uncle will be fine." Besides, if there is a second uncle to pick it up, isn't my grandmother still worried? ”

But I was also worried in my heart, and my uncle died one night after entering Beijing.

Although she is in the house now, she may not be able to pull her uncle back from the ghost gate.

I don't know where the master and his old man have gone, there has been no news for a few years, if the master is here, the uncle will be fine.

As soon as a few people followed Shen's carriage to the gate of the inner courtyard, a little maid ran over, "Old lady, the second lady is so angry, and now she is bringing people here?" He also summoned his own soldiers and said that it was ......"

The little maid didn't dare to say any more, and glanced at Su Moyue worriedly.
