Concubine's poisonous plot
Chapter 42 Mother-in-law digs into her daughter-in-law’s dowry
Xiao Jinyao took it casually and looked through it.
There was no surprise in his deep eyes.
"Okay..." He said these two words quickly without any delay.
When Shu Yunzhao received a positive answer, he said that he would first go to Tian Fangfei's yard.
Concubine Tian Bian did not expect that she had already taken the initiative to avoid the crown prince who was in the limelight and seemed to be having a nervous breakdown, but the other party still came to her door.
"How come the Crown Princess has time to come here? Didn't she go to clean up the shop today?"
Concubine Tian Bianzhao smiled appropriately and ordered her servants to make a pot of good tea for Shu Yunzhao.
Shu Yunzhao did not hide anything and said directly: "The shops have been closed down. People from the Su family were managing them before. If we don't clean them up, I'm worried that it won't be long before more of these shops return to their hands..."
Concubine Tian was a little embarrassed and couldn't comment.
"It's actually very difficult for the Crown Princess to be like this. After all, everyone is in Kyoto. Even if the people under her command are replaced, there is no way to avoid getting involved with the Su family in the future. And to put it bluntly, the Crown Princess and Weibei Hou are There is no way to change the blood relationship, and the people below may still think that if you reconcile in the future, they will still have to get along with the Su family."
Concubine Tian was as careful as possible with her words.
She was also reminding Shu Yunzhao that some things may not have the same result as her understanding.
Shu Yunzhao said: "That's not the case. If my subordinates have close ties with the Su family and dare to betray me in the future, I will definitely let them know how high the price will be. I am not here today to complain to the concubine about Su. It’s not my family, but I want to say sorry to the concubine.”
Concubine Tian Fang didn't react. Was she apologizing to herself?
"The Crown Princess has never done anything to feel sorry for me. It seems that there is no need for this..."
She became uncomfortable and was already on guard against whether Shu Yunzhao had some conspiracy waiting for her to be fooled.
Shu Yunzhao said with a sincere face: "Today's incident, after all, affects the concubine. You prepared the betrothal gift for me according to the weight of the concubine, but Mrs. Su went behind your back and stuffed it into the gifts of your younger siblings. The dowry, she is your biological daughter-in-law. I definitely believe that this is just for Mrs. Su to live a better life for her younger siblings. In the future, they will take care of everything inside and outside, and there will be many places to spend money. It is definitely not to please the side. Concubine... But people outside may not think so. In the final analysis, this matter happened because of me. If anyone misunderstands Concubine, I will find a way to help clarify."
Concubine Tian Bian then realized that Shu Yunzhao wanted to let himself, the mother-in-law, come forward to extract the dowry from his daughter-in-law.
Although people from the palace had come before to count the property belonging to Aunt Shu that Mrs. Su put in Su Yunxiu's dowry and directly converted it into silver coins, there were still so many betrothal gifts belonging to Shu Yunzhao that they had not yet counted.
She originally thought that Shu Yunzhao would stop after getting the money, but she didn't expect that she really didn't like Su Yunxiu at all, and she never thought about how embarrassed she would be if she came forward.
"Concubine, you should understand what I mean, right?"
Shu Yunzhao said specifically that she would not give Concubine Tian a chance to act stupid.
Tian Fangfei had no choice but to answer: "Well, I think I know what the Crown Princess means. I will find a way to mention it to Yunxiu..."
"Is it possible that my siblings will disagree with what the concubine means?"
Shu Yunzhao smiled, but it was just a mockery.
How could Concubine Tian let her see the joke? She quickly said: "Of course not, but she is still young and did not think of this. In addition, she must be sad because of the breakup of your relationship with the Su family, so for a moment I don’t have enough time to worry about this..."
"The more you go through this, the more you should think more about things. If there is even the slightest thing, you will not be able to bear the pressure, your mind will not turn around, and you will forget what you should do. What will you do in the future... Please also invite the concubine Your Majesty, please be more careful. After all, my younger siblings have already passed away. This will always be the case in the future, which will bring shame to Prince An’s palace..."
Shu Yunzhao's every word was pricking.
The calm look on her face made it impossible to get angry.
In the end, Tian Bianfei had no choice but to agree, saying that in the next few days, she would ask Su Yunxiu to sort out the dowry, list all the betrothal gifts previously sent to Shu Yunzhao, and send many of them to their yard.
Shu Yunzhao left with satisfaction, and took a special sip of the new tea here, saying "it's too bitter" without looking back.
Tian Fangfei tried her best to calm herself down. She discovered something interesting. She hadn't encountered such a capable opponent in many years.
King An came back from outside angrily. After he knew what his daughter-in-law had done, he didn't feel like showing her face to him. Instead, he was very angry. It was not a good thing for a woman to torment her like this.
He is the patriarch and the master of the palace, but as a father-in-law, he was completely kept in the dark about such a big thing as Shu Yunzhao's donation of family property. Today, he acted like a clown in the court, interceding for the Su family.
Originally, the emperor also gave the Su family face, but Shu Yunzhao posted so many things, which made the Su family a mess, and its image in the hearts of the people was also in a mess. If the people knew that he, the prince, openly defended the Su family, Don't you want to scold him behind his back?
He had been drinking out all day, and the more he drank, the more uncomfortable he became.
"This Shu Yunzhao is so unreasonable and arrogant!"
King An was still sober and didn't say anything too much.
Tian Bianfei carefully asked someone to bring him sobering soup, helped him take off his coat, and asked him to lie down on the soft couch to rest for a while.
After that, she ordered the small kitchen to prepare some things that were good for the spleen and stomach, so that King An would still eat them when he woke up at night.
While King An was sleeping, Concubine Tian went to Xiao Luofan and Su Yunxiu's yard and told Shu Yunzhao what he meant.
Su Yun was already digging her nails into the wood of the chair. This breath was so uncomfortable for her that her whole chest felt like it was burning.
Xiao Luofan frowned, feeling that such bullying was too much.
"Our mother-in-law received the betrothal gift from Prince An's Mansion. As for how my mother-in-law arranged the return gift, what qualifications does she have to comment? She has not been able to win the favor of her father-in-law and mother-in-law for so many years. Not even one of my five uncles can protect her. Isn't it her own problem? Such a huge fortune is not enough for her to squander, so she insists on focusing on my wife's dowry? I think she did it on purpose. She disgusted the Su family first, and then us. What else does she want to do next? So, does she want to disgust my father and mother? What on earth does she want to do? "
Xiao Luofan is also very annoyed these days. He didn't expect this sister-in-law to be so difficult to deal with.
Concubine Tian did not rush to appease his emotions, but looked at Su Yunxiu calmly: "Yunxiu, do you think you should give it?"
