When Mo Yun learned that Yueying went to the Fuguogong Mansion, he was fooled and thought that Mo Zhaohua wrote a letter to complain.

After dinner, he discussed with Sun Chang in the study for half the night before going to Lan Ruyu's Lanwuyuan.

Because of his partiality, he did prepare a more luxurious dowry for Mo Yaohua, and he carried out the policy of favoring his concubine over his wife to the end.

Now that Mo Zhaohua was asking for a ten-mile red dowry and was even willing to threaten him, he could only discuss it with Lan Ruyu again.

Lan Ruyu was very puzzled after hearing this, "How could she become like this? Wasn't she easy to control before?"

Mo Yun was furious when he mentioned this, "It's true that she has changed a lot. Maybe that idiot gave her the confidence."

While Lan Ruyu was taking off his coat, she asked, "How can a crippled king give her the confidence?"

Mo Yun walked towards the bed in her white inner garment, "It may be that His Majesty promised her some benefits."

Lan Ruyu followed him and squatted down to take off his shoes after he sat down. "How does this have anything to do with Your Majesty?"

Mo Yun frowned, "It was only after Sun Chang reminded me that His Majesty summoned her to the palace before granting the marriage."

Lan Ruyu served him well, then undressed, "So, her personality changed drastically because of your Majesty's support."

Mo Yun's face was full of pain, "No matter what the reason is, I'm afraid I have to give her this ten-mile red makeup."

Lan Ruyu's hand that was unbuckling her belt suddenly paused, and she looked up at Mo Yun, "Then what should we do with our Yao'er?"

Although she was not in charge of the household expenses, she had Mo Yun's favor, so she knew how much wealth the Shangshu Mansion had.

With that little family fortune, it's already good enough to prepare a dowry for Mo Yaohua. There's no money left to give Mo Zhaohua a wedding dowry.

If she had to make preparations, she would have to use Mo Yaohua's dowry. How could she bear to let her daughter suffer this loss?

Mo Yun really had this idea, "There's only one month left, let's get Shili Hongzhuang done first, and then we can think of a way to deal with Yao'er."

Lan Ruyu continued to undress, "What else can we do? The master has no business, and the ones he has are not profitable."

The property in Mo Yun's hands was still purchased by his old grandfather. It was nothing more than some farmland and few good shops.

The Shangshu Mansion is not a big business, but it has a large family. The daily expenses are quite high. It looks bright and beautiful on the outside, but in fact it spends more than it earns.

"There is really no other way. I can only sell my antiques and paintings. Otherwise, I am afraid she will really take action against my official position."

When talking about antique paintings, Mo Yun gritted his teeth and felt extremely distressed, because those were the result of his years of hard work.

"That's all we can do." Lan Ruyu was relieved to hear that he was willing to give it up, because that was his greatest wealth.

After being tormented like this, Mo Yun lost all thoughts even though he was in the arms of a beautiful woman, and lay down like a corpse.

He closed his eyes tiredly and told Lan Ruyu, "Talk to Yao'er about this tomorrow so she can be mentally prepared."

Lan Ruyu climbed up and lay down beside him, her hand reaching out to him restlessly, "Master, are you going to make me the bad guy again?"

Mo Yun grabbed her hand and said, "Yao'er listens to you the most. If you go and tell her, she won't make a fuss. Her reputation is not very good to begin with."

Lan Ruyu tickled his palm, "I know the seriousness of the situation. I will go and talk to Yao'er tomorrow and help the master overcome his difficulties first."

Mo Yun was aroused again, "Yu'er is indeed a woman of eloquence, and only you can truly help me solve my problems."

Lan Ruyu glanced in the direction of the burning incense, curled the corners of her mouth, and then asked the maid to come in, lower the curtains, and turn off the lights.

The bedroom fell into darkness, and her soft voice rang out, "Master~"

***

After breakfast the next day, Lan Ruyu went to Zhiting Pavilion.

Mo Yaohua had been suffering from morning sickness recently, and now the Mo family had come to make trouble, so she was naturally in a bad mood.

Only when she saw Lan Ruyu did her expression improve a little, but then she learned about the dowry.

She screamed, "What? In exchange for the dowry? No, that's mine. Why should I give it to that bitch?"

She had already seen the dowry list, which was twice as much as Mo Zhaohua's. All the good things in the house were given to her first.

She was happy at that time, thinking that even though Mo Zhaohua had Rong Qing's financial support and relatives and friends to add to his dowry, her father gave her everything.

But now this only preference is going to be taken away. How can she accept it? She will never allow this to happen.

Unexpectedly, Lan Ruyu added, "It's not about exchanging, but adding your share to her original dowry."

Mo Yaohua thought she had heard it wrongly, her eyes widened like bells, "How much dowry does she want?"

Lan Ruyu's eyes were dark and unclear, "Ten miles of red makeup."

"What?" Mo Yaohua was shocked. "Is she a lion? No, even lions don't have such a big mouth as hers."

Lan Ruyu sighed helplessly, "She is arrogant, but your father can't do anything about it. She threatened him with his official position."

Mo Yaohua was impatient, "Then what should I do? Even if I am just a concubine's daughter, I am also the concubine of Prince Qi."

"Don't worry, Yao'er. Your father will make arrangements for you. If it really doesn't work out, he will sell his collection of calligraphy and paintings to make arrangements for you."

This was Lan Ruyu's reassurance. Mo Yun spent all his money on elegance, and that room full of collections was enough to buy a good dowry.

"Really? That's Daddy's favorite. The only time I was beaten when I was a kid was because I damaged a painting."

Mo Yaohua still remembered this vividly. Later, whenever he saw Mo Yun's collection of collectibles, calligraphy and paintings, he would take a detour, for fear of incurring his scolding.

Lan Ruyu smiled and said, "He said it himself. Just think about it and you will know which is more important, Prince Qi or those things."

Mo Yaohua was relieved, "Of course Prince Qi is more important. As long as I can get Liu Lang, what good things will Dad want in the future?"

The news in Zhiting Pavilion soon spread to Yixiayuan, and Amber was extremely efficient in getting information.

Lan Ruyu and her daughter have never been able to reach Yixiayuan, but Amber has now reached Zhiting Pavilion.

This is all thanks to Mo Yaohua. She has been getting meaner to the people in the courtyard recently, beating and scolding them. Amber took the opportunity to give her some benefits.

With Amber asking someone to secretly send ointment and giving a little money as a comfort, naturally someone would be willing to cooperate.

Amber reported in the embroidery room, "It's strange, it was quite noisy at the beginning, but slowly it calmed down."

Mo Zhaohua was not surprised. "It's not surprising. Lan is good at comforting people. It's hard for Mo Yaohua to lose his temper in front of her."

Pearl continued to sew, "I don't know what caused Miss San to make such a big noise."

Jinqiu was in charge of the inner room of Zhiting Pavilion. Even if the maids went in to work, she would watch them personally.

If Lan Ruyu wanted to talk to Mo Yaohua about something, she would send the person out and then wait at the door.

Therefore, Amber's insider could only hear some noise when there was a lot of noise, but could not hear clearly what was said specifically.

Amber smiled and said, "It's definitely not a good thing. If you don't believe me, look at our lady. She's so happy."

Mo Zhaohua smiled but said nothing. She had already guessed that it was about the dowry, but there was no need to explain everything to the two maids.
