The Zhongyong Hou Mansion is the family with the richest heritage in the Great Chu Kingdom. It was the Hou Mansion that founded the Chu Kingdom. The wealth accumulated from generation to generation can be imagined.

The dowry brought by Xie Miaohui back then was lined up from the street to the end of the street, and everyone in the capital was not envious of it.

Even after so many years, when someone mentions someone who gave a large dowry or betrothal gift, Xie Miaohui always comes to mind.

Wen Shaoli's face turned dark instantly, "Sister-in-law, what do you mean? Do you think the dowry I brought is not enough? How come I heard you only brought a few boxes of dowry."

She thought Su Xinmei was deliberately mocking her for not being as good as Xie Yinghui, so she sarcastically replied.

Su Xin's eyebrows showed a touch of embarrassment, but she didn't mind and continued: "Brothers and sisters, you know, those dowries are in our house."

Wen Shaoli suddenly thought, "What do you mean?"

"I mean, those dowries are so large that it would be a waste just to leave them there, so why not-"

"You - you want to..." Wen Shaoli looked horrified, but there was an uncontrollable heat in her eyes. She understood.

Now that the Yun family is encountering difficulties, Xie Miaohui has so much dowry, shouldn't it be appropriate to use a few to help the Yun family overcome difficulties?

"Miss, I'm really looking for Aunt Wen in the main room. She went there at noon and she hasn't come out yet." Jinxiu reported to Yun Shang.

"Don't worry about them when they go to get things. Ask someone to keep an eye on them and write down what they took."

In the past life, these people secretly arranged for Chen Cang to share the dowry brought by Xie Miaohui. When she found out and went to find out, she could find no evidence at all.

With so much dowry, less than a third was left in the end.

In this life, she must help her mother keep the dowry. When one day they leave the Yun family, they must take away all the dowry. They must not take advantage of the Yun family.

Also, in the early years, Xie Minghui asked these people to return the dowry sold by the Yun family in order to supplement it.

She just asked someone to go to the main house and mentioned that Xie Miaohui's dowry was large, and then they went to find Wen Shaoli.

"Miss, do they really dare to take Madam's dowry? If this spreads out, they will lose all face."

About 50 years ago, because the daughter of a court minister was bullied by her husband's family, a bunch of people shared the dowry she brought with her, and everyone said that the dowry was worthless and shabby.

The minister was furious, but he spoke softly, so he could only swallow his breath.

Seven years later, he became a first-rank official and proposed to the emperor that the dowry brought by a woman when she got married was no longer handled by her parents-in-law, but belonged only to the woman herself.

If you divorce or remarry, the dowry can also be taken away with you.

From then on, the dowry became private property, and no one except the person was allowed to use the dowry unless the person died.

Therefore, no matter how much Xie Miaohui's dowry is, if she doesn't take it out herself, the Yun family can only watch it and have no right to use it.

Wen Shaoli sat in front of the mirror, holding pieces of exquisite jewelry on her body. Each piece was a fine product, much more beautiful than the ones in her jewelry box.

Thinking that I had spent all my efforts to please Yun Cang, but the jewelry in exchange was less than one percent of Xie Yinghui's, I felt extremely unbalanced.

She has always been jealous of Xie Miaohui, who has a good background and gets everything she wants.What she worked so hard to get was just a matter of words for Xie Miaohui.

Just like when she wanted to marry Yun Cang, Mr. Yun refused no matter what.

Where is Xie Miaohui?

It was Mr. Yun who came to talk to Marquis Zhongyong over and over again that made him marry her reluctantly.

but!

How can it be?

Now she still married into the Yun family and became the head matron of the Yun family.

And these jewelry, didn’t they also become hers?

Wen Shaoli finally chose a tortoiseshell bracelet inlaid with gold and jade and wore it on her hand. She looked at her wrist lustfully, wondering why she liked it so much.This is a good thing. It is said that the late emperor gave it to the Xie family. There is only one pair in the world.

One is at Xie's house, and the other is at the Queen Mother's house.

Wen Shaoli saw the Queen Mother wearing it once before. She was very envious and thought about how to get the Queen Mother to reward her.

Today, she got her wish.

While Wen Shaoli was admiring the gold and jade bracelet on her wrist, someone knocked on the door, "Madam, are you there? The Jinxiu girl next to the second lady wants to see you for something."

When Wen Shaoli heard that it was Jinxiu, her heart skipped a beat, and she concealed the bracelet with her sleeves with a guilty conscience. She liked the bracelet and couldn't bear to take it off.

"Just say I'm tired and I won't see any guests today."

"Madam, Jinxiu said she has important matters to see you. If it is inconvenient for you, she will go to see the Madam."

Wen Shaoli gritted her teeth in anger and cursed Yun Shang in her heart.Last time, it was Yun Shang who asked Jinxiu to pay the money, which was why the account ran out of money so quickly.I came here again today, and I don’t know what happened again.

Although she was angry, she still had to go out to meet people. If she really made trouble with Zhou Ruishu, she would be punished again.

After a while, Wen Shaoli reluctantly met Jinxiu and said, "What's the matter with your lady? There's no money left in the account."

Jinxiu smiled, "This time it's not about money."

Once she heard that she wasn't here to ask for money, Wen Shaoli felt much better and said, "Tell me what you have to say."

"It's like this. When the young lady reaches the age of discussing marriage, the madam will prepare a dowry for the young lady. Knowing that the family is in difficulty, she thought of sorting out a portion of the dowry that the madam brought over and giving it to the young lady.

Who would have thought that I would find something missing during the inventory, and I would like your help in investigating. "

Wen Shaoli's heart tightened, and she subconsciously touched the bracelet on her hand, "Didn't she say that she sold some of the dowry? Maybe she sold it herself."

Now that the thing is in her hands, it is absolutely impossible to hand it over.

"Jinxiu will go back and report to Madam, I'm sorry for bothering you." Jinxiu didn't argue and simply left.

When she left, Wen Shaoli started to murmur in her heart.

Judging from the previous confrontations, Xie Minghui was not a good person. Why did he compromise so easily?

Wen Shaoli always felt that something was wrong, but then she thought about it. With so many things, she only took a bracelet and a few tiaras. It was difficult to be discovered. Xie Miaohui must have deceived her.

With such a large amount of dowry, even counting it would take ten days and a half. It is impossible to discover it so quickly.

Wen Shaoli touched the bracelet on her wrist again, and her heart became more and more settled. Even if she really counted and found something missing, she could definitely find a place to hide the things.

There is no evidence that she took anything.

Wen Shaoli returned to the room and continued to admire the bracelet on her wrist. She liked it no matter how much she saw it.

On the other side, Jinxiu returned to Xie Miaohui's yard and looked at Yun Shang with admiration.

"Miss, you are really good at predicting things. She really said that the madam sold it herself. I watched her touch her wrist. The bracelet must be on her wrist. If you rush over now, you will definitely be able to steal it. Let's see how she quibbles."
