The most difficult female boss in history

Chapter 686 Mother's Dowry

Xiao Mingzhu took the yellowed dowry lists and glanced at them quickly. She was a little surprised.

As far as she knew, when her mother married, her grandfather was just General Wu Yi who had just been promoted to the fifth rank, and her family background was not very rich.Judging from the things on these lists, the Lin family was able to prepare such a heavy dowry, perhaps it was all their own, which clearly shows their care and love for their mother.

However, that was also the case, it was hard to say whether the things sent from outside were old things from the mother's dowry.

Not to mention those jewellery, silk and satin, utensils and other things brought back to the Lin family, will the Lin family watch the good things piled up in the warehouse and become old and spoiled, dusty and refuse to take them; The wooden furniture is all built according to the specifications of the yard when the parents got married. Most of them are heavy and bulky. How can they be easily moved by Uncle Lin when he wanted to move them?

I'm afraid that for the things sent now, the jewelry is remade according to the name on the list, and the silk and satin, decoration utensils, expensive furniture, etc. are all re-prepared according to the original dowry list.

They are not old things from my mother's previous dowry, so what's the use of them?
Even if the money from the Grange shop is still the original one, what can she think about things like the money from the Grange shop?
She put down the dowry list, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth: "I don't lack these things, you should take them back with you."

Liu Lanzhi showed some surprise on her face and said: "Miss Xiao, my aunt's dowry should have been left to you. Right now, your marriage to Prince Xiaoyao has begun to be arranged. These things will be sent back to you by the Lin family. Bookkeeping is a matter of course."

A woman's dowry is her private property and will be left to her children in the future.If a woman has no children under her knees, her natal family can come to the door to ask for the dowry back.

At the beginning, the brother-in-law moved back to the aunt's dowry on the grounds that Miss Xiao was dead and the aunt had no children.Now that Miss Xiao is married, the dowry will be sent back as it is, which is only right and proper.

Xiao Mingzhu sneered softly a few times, "Do you think this is a complete return to Zhao?"

Liu Lanzhi was slightly taken aback, probably guessing what Xiao Mingzhu was thinking.She put the list on the coffee table in Xiao Mingzhu's hand, stood beside her and said in a low voice: "Girl, although I was very young at the time, my brother-in-law made a lot of noise at the time, and afterwards I had a fight with Lin Siqin about the dowry." Several times, so I still know a thing or two."

She carefully looked at Xiao Mingzhu's expression, and saw Xiao Mingzhu looked up, as if she was interested in what she said, and then continued: "After the accident with my aunt, my brother-in-law led someone to come to move my aunt's dowry. Everything that was left was taken away, and some large and clumsy furniture that could not be taken away were all smashed..."

Xiao Mingzhu nodded, just as she thought.

Liu Lanzhi said again: "The dowry brought back by my brother-in-law is stored in the house where my aunt lived before she got married, and it is guarded by my aunt's companion, who checks and takes care of it regularly so that nothing is lost. There is also a special account for the income, and no one can embezzle it.”

"Ten years as one day?" Xiao Mingzhu raised her eyebrows.

She believed that the Lin family's maternal grandparents, thinking of their mother, would agree with the Lin family's uncle's approach, but they were not the only three masters of the Lin family.The grandchildren of the Lin family are also old and have reached the age of marriage.The other uncles and aunts will not be greedy and scheming when they see such a large sum of good things just piled up in the warehouse and gathering dust?
There was a sneer at the corner of Liu Lanzhi's mouth: "Miss Xiao is right. Over the years, the sisters-in-law of the Lin family have made many plans for this dowry, especially Liu Siqin. Our sisters are from the Lin family with no wealth. She And she wholeheartedly determined that Lin Zheng was going to marry into a noble family, so Lin Zheng's dowry became her biggest headache, and she has been eagerly trying to embezzle these items and money."

"Once, when Liu Siqin went out to be a guest, she took a hairpin from the jewelry box of her aunt to wear, but not only was she slapped by her brother-in-law afterwards, but she was also deprived of the housekeeping right by the old lady of the Lin family for more than a year. With her For example, no one in the mansion dared to touch that thing's mind. Liu Siqin lost face and dared not do anything again."

Xiao Mingzhu's eyes tightened, and she landed on the dowry list again. According to what Liu Lanzhi said, the things on it are really mother's old things?

Liu Lanzhi saw that Xiao Mingzhu's expression was loosened, she sighed softly, and said softly: "Later, during the years of my wanderings, I realized that my brother-in-law was still thinking about the furniture and other things that he ordered to destroy. I tried my best to prepare a copy of those destroyed things, and locked them together in that warehouse."

I'm afraid that my brother-in-law had long thought of sending back the dowry, so he would try every means to restore all the items that he destroyed on the dowry list these years.

Being a ghost, she watched Liu Siqin return those things to Xiao Mingzhu.Probably seeing her brother-in-law's sincere attachment to Aunt Lin from these things, Xiao Mingzhu softened her heart, and finally let Lin Zheng go.

That's right, if Lin Siqin had half as much affection for her as her brother-in-law had for her great aunt, she would look at Liu Siqin and forgive Lin Zheng for the evil things she had done to her.

It's just that she doesn't have that sibling life.

Her eyes couldn't help but become tighter and sharper.After actually taking care of the dowry, she guessed some secrets that she had never known in her entire life.I'm afraid that Liu Siqin and Lin Zheng's fight against Miss Xiao is not all about her, but also the dowry.

These years Liu Siqin didn't think about the dowry anymore, I'm afraid she really believes that Miss Xiao is dead, and that those things are meant to be kept in the mansion, and when the family is separated in the future, as the eldest house, she will definitely share most of the Lin mansion. These things will naturally become the property of her children, especially as part of Lin Zheng's decent dowry in her mind to marry a noble family.

After entering Beijing, she found that Miss Xiao was not dead, and she felt uneasy, worrying that her brother-in-law would return the dowry to the Duke's mansion, and they would get nothing.So, she thought about letting herself into the Duke's mansion.If things are done and I become the wife of the Duke's Mansion, wouldn't I be grateful to her and reciprocate.When the time comes, she wants to subsidize Lin Zheng on silver, how can she disagree.

But her good plan was shattered by Ms. Xiao, and they became so angry that their new and old hatreds all broke out on Ms. Xiao's head together, so a series of things happened.

Now, she took away the rights of Liu Siqin's head and came to deliver this gift in person. She didn't want to give Liu Siqin and the others a chance to stand up, nor did she want to leave any chance for them to covet the dowry.
