Mo Yun was furious, "What's your attitude? I'm your father. Is this how your mother taught you?"
Mo Zhaohua remained calm, "If you were not my father, why would I ask you for fairness?"
Mo Yun stared at her, his eyes flashing with shrewdness, and it was obvious that she was plotting something evil.
His tone softened. "Do you care so much about the dowry? It's just something outside of your body. You never used to be like this."
It turns out that if the hard way doesn't work, then try the soft way. He wants to coax her, but Mo Zhaohua sees through his thoughts and won't do as he wishes.
She was firm, "You can favor my concubine sister as much as you want in other matters, but please forgive me for not agreeing to the dowry."
Mo Yun's thick eyebrows frowned again, "Why is this?"
Mo Zhaohua said coldly, "You can slap the face of a legitimate daughter like me, but you can't embarrass His Royal Highness the Prince."
When Mo Yun heard Chu Xuanchi's name, he became angry, "What does this have to do with Your Highness? Don't always use him to pressure me."
If Chu Xuanchi had not wanted to get married and Mo Zhaohua had not been granted the marriage first, his plan with King Qi would not have failed.
Mo Zhaohua said sternly, "Third sister is not only a concubine's daughter, but also a concubine's concubine. I am the legitimate concubine, how can her dowry be better than mine?"
The dowry of a concubine's daughter is worse than that of a legitimate daughter, which is a slap in her face, and the dowry of a legitimate wife is not as good as that of a concubine's daughter, which is a loss of face for Chu Xuanchi.
It would be fine if these two girls were not from the same family, after all, the conditions of each family are different, but they are sisters.
"Your mother will give you some money. You have many relatives and friends, and you also have a dowry. Add it all together and you will definitely have more than Yaoyao."
Rong Qing has no children, so her dowry must be given to Mo Zhaohua, and Mo Zhaohua's relatives and friends are all rich or noble.
In comparison, Mo Yaohua's situation is much worse. Her mother is just an orphan who fled to Shengjing, and she has almost no relatives or friends.
Mo Yun actually wanted to use Rong Qing's allowance and her relatives' and friends' dowry to save face for the Shangshu Mansion. Mo Zhaohua was so angry that he laughed.
She sneered, "What does my mother's allowance and my relatives' and friends' dowry have to do with my father? There is no room for negotiation on this matter."
Seeing that she was not moved by his soft or hard words, Mo Yun raised his voice again, "What if I don't give it to you? Are you going to rob me by force?"
Mo Zhaohua sipped his tea elegantly and said, "If you are not stable as the Shangshu, don't blame your daughter for not reminding you in advance."
She has the entire Fuguogong Mansion behind her, and will soon have the Yuwang Mansion. How could she really be bullied by a villain?
In her previous life, she also borrowed the power of her maternal family, but she used it all to help Chu Xuanhan seize power. In this life, she only uses it for herself.
Only if she protects herself can she protect the people she cares about. If she can't even stand up for herself, what else can she expect?
Mo Yun's mouth was dry from what he said. He was just about to drink some tea, but when he heard this, he threw the cup to the ground in anger, "How dare you threaten me?"
The finest blue and white porcelain hand-pressed cup fell to the ground with a crisp sound, porcelain pieces splattered everywhere, and left a tea stain.
"Father, you can try to see if the Prince Yu's Mansion and the Duke Fu's Mansion can pull you down from your current position."
Although Mo Zhaohua was clearly saying threatening words, his expression was very gentle, and he even had a smile on his face. He didn't sound cold or stern at all.
Mo Yun looked at her and suddenly felt like he was looking at a stranger. This kind of domineering aura from the inside out really didn't seem like that of a girl from a secluded place.
Especially when she smiled just now, he no longer felt it was dazzling, but his heart skipped a beat and he felt a palpitation.
He hastily turned his eyes away, collected his thoughts, and raised his voice again, "Don't think you're the only one with a backer."
Unable to suppress Mo Zhaohua with his aura, he could only work on his voice, as if the louder his voice was, the more advantage he would have.
Mo Zhaohua still smiled sweetly, "Father, you don't really think that Prince Qi would spend money just for this little dowry, do you?"
"You..." These few words were enough to make Mo Yun speechless.
Prince Qi only cares about Mo Yaohua and the baby in her belly, so why would he care about the dowry.
"I originally just wanted my father to give me the respect that a legitimate daughter deserves, but now I can only make an excessive request."
Mo Zhaohua had known for a long time that Mo Yun would not agree. She had seen clearly what kind of person he was in her previous life.
Mo Yun was so angry that his chest heaved violently, "I want to see how much more you can go."
"I want a dowry of ten miles, but the allowance from my mother and the dowry from my relatives and friends are not included in this."
As the legitimate daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, this requirement was already high for Mo Zhaohua, and it was even more difficult for Mo Yun.
Mo Yun was very elegant. Whenever he had some money, he would buy collectibles, calligraphy and paintings. He had no property and could not even give his father a grand funeral.
At the beginning, I had to swallow my pride and ask Rong Qing for help, and with her financial support, I was able to give Old Master Mo a decent funeral.
Now that Mo Zhaohua asked for a ten-mile red makeup, he would have to sell out his beloved, which would be tantamount to cutting off his own flesh.
Mo Yun laughed when he heard this, and his laugh was eerie and terrifying, "How dare you speak."
Mo Zhaohua also laughed, "My daughter feels that the grievances we have suffered over the years are enough to make this request."
Mo Yun raised his hand angrily, pointing his index finger at her with a trembling hand, "You... you rebellious girl, don't even think about it, this is absolutely impossible!"
Mo Zhaohua stood up and said, "Father, please think about it carefully, but please don't think too long. After all, there is only one month left."
"Stop!" Mo Yun completely lost the demeanor of a scholar and yelled, "Did I let you go?"
"I still have to write a letter to my grandfather. If my father wants to keep me, I can only ask my grandfather to come here in person."
Mo Zhaohua didn't even pause, he walked out while talking, leaving only his cold voice echoing.
Mo Yun didn't dare to stop her, and slammed the table in anger, "Rebellious daughter, such a rebellious daughter, how could I raise such a daughter!"
Sun Chang changed to a new teacup, poured a cup of tea and offered it, "Master, please calm down. The matter of dowry still needs to be discussed in detail."
Mo Yun's hands were shaking as he held the teacup. "No room for negotiation. I will never give her a beautiful wedding!"
Sun Chang stopped talking for the moment and just comforted him, "Master, calm down first."
At this time, Mo Zhaohua had already returned to Yixiayuan with Yueying who was waiting outside. She really wanted to write a letter to the Duke of Fuguo.
Firstly, she wanted to tell Duke Fuguo that she had broken through the first level of the Heart Sutra to make the old man happy.
Secondly, she asked Rong Hai to prepare a set of silver needles for her, and she would go to the Fuguogong Mansion to get them in person in a few days.
As for the dowry issue, there is no need to really trouble them to get involved. We can just use their names to put pressure on them.
Although Mo Yun was obsessed with collectibles, calligraphy and paintings, he loved his official position more, and he could clearly distinguish between the two.
Mo Zhaohua returned to Yixiayuan, went to the study to write a letter, and then asked Yueying to deliver it to the Fuguogong Mansion personally.
Although delivering a letter is a small matter, the content of the letter is extremely important. She can only feel at ease if it is delivered by someone she can trust.
In fact, she could have written this letter if she had returned yesterday, but she intentionally left it until today just to cause Mo Yun to misunderstanding.
When Mo Yun got the news that Yueying went to the Fuguogong Mansion to deliver a letter, he would naturally think that she wrote the letter about the dowry.
She kills two birds with one stone, isn't that wonderful?
