The powerful prince and princess who dotes on the world is pregnant again
Chapter 15 Collecting Dowry
Prime Minister's Mansion, early in the morning,
Mrs. Liu came over with Luliu and a food box.
"Girl Xing, my aunt has brought you the longan porridge that you like to drink. Come over and drink it while it's hot."
Not long after Xia Zixing got up, she was relaxing in the yard and was about to have breakfast when Mrs. Liu came.
Show your courtesy for nothing,
Qiuyue helped put the porridge in front of Xia Zixing.
She glanced at the porridge and sneered calmly,
"Aunt Liu came here early in the morning. She didn't just want to bring me porridge, right?"
"Yes, I heard about the incident at the Anping Hou Mansion. It's your second sister who is ignorant. I'm here to apologize to you on her behalf. Don't argue with her. You are sisters after all."
"I don't care about it. I already cared about it yesterday."
Mrs. Liu thought of the bruises on Xia Ling's body, and the viciousness in her eyes dimmed slightly.
"Yes, you are sisters. As the elder sister, please give way to the younger sister."
Suddenly, Xia Zixing smashed the porridge and scattered it all over the floor.
"Miss, what do you mean?" Ms. Liu asked screaming,
"What do you mean? Your two daughters are not qualified to be my sisters. I remember everything you did to me in the past. Just because I don't mention it doesn't mean I don't know."
"You! That was all a joke when you were kids. You are not sensible."
Ms. Liu wanted to leave, but Xia Zixing stopped her.
"Aunt Liu, I have something else I want you to arrange here," Xia Zixing said,
Qiuyue took out an old piece of paper,
"This is my mother's dowry list. You can go to the warehouse with us later to check if there is anything missing."
Mrs. Liu pointed to the piece of paper with trembling fingers, "Who knows if this piece of paper is true or false?"
"Oh, can't I let my father take a look and find out?"
After Xia Rende came back from the morning, Xia Zixing showed him the list.
"This is it. I saw your mother's dowry list back then, and it was the same as this,"
"Father said yes, then it is right. Aunt Liu, do you have no problem?"
Mrs. Liu was speechless. She wanted to refute, and she didn't know what to say.
Xia Zixing took the housekeeper to the warehouse to count the dowry.
Then he came back and told her: "Miss, there are many things in the warehouse that do not match what is on the list, and there is a lot missing."
Xia Zixing tapped her fingers on the table and said to Butler Chen after a long time: "Butler Chen, you should know where those things went, right?"
Butler Chen was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and explained everything he knew.
Ms. Liu secretly made friends with high-status people and gave her many valuable gifts. Ms. Liu did not have any of them herself, so of course she could only get them from the dowry of her first wife.
Xia Ling and Xia Wei's normal expenses are only 50 taels of silver per month. The money they get to buy expensive clothes and jewelry is all from selling the dowry of their original wives.
Mrs. Liu sometimes had to help her parents' family, sending 2 to [-] taels of silver back almost every year.
And this money, except Xia Rende's salary, is less than a thousand taels a month. There are also some incomes from shops and businesses,
Mrs. Zheng's dowry included three shops in operation, and all the income went into Mrs. Liu's pocket.
"Does she also have the title deeds to those shops?"
Butler Chen lowered his head, "Yes,"
"If you go ask her if she wants to come, just say it was me who told her to come,"
After Butler Chen left Xinglan Courtyard, he went to the study and told the master about the matter.
"Just do what she said. When it comes to Mrs. Liu, just say it was me who said it."
"Yes, sir,"
Upon hearing that it was the Prime Minister's request, Liu had no choice but to take out the three land deeds.
"Aunt Liu, the master also said that the wife's dowry must be returned to the eldest lady one by one,"
After Butler Chen left, Mrs. Liu fell all over the place.
Xia Zixing, I won't let you go like this.
Mad.
The dowries of her two daughters, as well as the few jewelry they wore, were all worn.
How could you be willing to take it off and return it? Xia Rende had already spoken, and she didn't dare to disobey.
But I also knew that Xia Zixing would not be so easy to talk to.
In the Chaoyang Palace, Emperor Ren was approving memorials, and the chief steward, Eunuch Laifu, was waiting beside him.
Emperor Ren put down the brush in his hand and asked, "What did the Imperial Master say?"
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Preceptor's letter will not be returned for a while."
Emperor Ren changed his hand and picked up the stone again, put it in his hand and studied it, "Is there anything about the goddess of heaven in the letter from the Imperial Preceptor?"
"The Imperial Master said that the goddess has been reincarnated and will definitely show her talents. Emperor Ren is also asked to wait and see what happens."
Show off your edge? Wait and see what happens?
The goddess must be different from ordinary people, there must be something extraordinary, but I don’t know who it is.
"Have you had any problems lately, King Xiu?"
"Your Majesty, Prince Xiu and Miss Xia handled the matter at Anping Houfu the day before yesterday in a timely manner. The fifth prince is safe,"
Emperor Ren also heard about it from Concubine Li, but he didn't know that there was something about Miss Xia involved.
"Miss Xia is a fool, what can she do?"
"Your Majesty, I heard that Miss Xia is no longer stupid, and is also a bit smart."
……
Imperial Palace, Jialan Courtyard,
The imperial concubine is wearing a bright red phoenix gown embroidered with gold, a beaded and jade walking crown on her head, a phoenix hairpin in her hand, and a face like a spring flower;
The imperial concubine took the tea cup from the palace maid's hand and took a slow sip.
"Xuan'er, how about the matter that the mother-in-law asked you to investigate?"
"Back to my concubine, fifth brother's health is indeed much better than before, but it was found that he has not been detoxified." Prince Xuan said respectfully.
During the Anping period, Xia Zixing treated her, but he didn't see the specific situation. After the treatment, she was picked up by Prince Xiu.
Someone was sent to Li Fei's Huaxiangyuan to check, and it was found that the fifth prince had indeed been lying in bed.
"It seems that we have a high regard for Miss Xia," the imperial concubine said calmly.
Rong Xuan sat down casually and said, "She is such a big fool. How can she know how to heal? It's just a matter of luck."
The imperial concubine looked helplessly at her son, who was still too young.
A person who had been stupid for more than ten years suddenly became better. Either it was God's will, or the previous stupidity was just an act.
"It has been reported from your father's side that the goddess has been reincarnated, but I don't know who this goddess will be. You need to investigate this matter carefully."
The goddess reincarnates, and whoever wins the goddess conquers the world. This saying has been spread among the people for several years, but it has not been spread in the past few years. Now it is reported that the goddess has been reincarnated, so she has to pay attention to it again.
If there really is a goddess, then this goddess must belong to her Xuan'er. If not, then it will be ruined.
"Mother, how do you check this?"
The imperial concubine thought for a long time, "The goddess must be different from ordinary people, there must be something special about her. Just check to see if there are any special people or things that have appeared recently."
Rong Xuan raised his eyebrows, "If I want to talk about the special person recently, it's Miss Xia. Suddenly she stopped being stupid overnight and she also has medical skills."
"Moreover, look at the second brother, my father gave him a marriage to a fool, and he didn't object. If he was really stupid, the second brother would definitely not agree to the father humiliating him like this,"
But Prince Xiu not only agreed, but was also very happy with the marriage.
"Check, check what happened to Xia Zixing in the past ten years, everything is important." The imperial concubine said sternly.
Mrs. Liu came over with Luliu and a food box.
"Girl Xing, my aunt has brought you the longan porridge that you like to drink. Come over and drink it while it's hot."
Not long after Xia Zixing got up, she was relaxing in the yard and was about to have breakfast when Mrs. Liu came.
