Reborn to marry a playboy, the scumbag kneels down and calls me aunt

"You!" Su Min'er wanted to tear her skin apart when she saw her smug face, but Zhao's obviously frightened look forced Su Min'er to swallow her anger. "I was confused. I shouldn't have taken advantage of my sister's love for me and wanted her things. Please forgive me this time."

"As for the clothes..." Su Min'er bit her lip, and looked like she was about to cry again, "Brother Jin loves me, so he gave me some extra money to buy that dress. Originally, my clothes should be the same as my sister's."

"Really?" Before Su Xuqing could say anything, Shen Xuanheng, who was sitting there watching the show, had already spoken, "Shen Chejin, I remember that you only make fifty taels of silver a month. It seems that you really love your wife, and you actually spent half a year's monthly allowance to buy her a piece of clothing?"

"I..." Shen Chejin was in agony but couldn't express it.

He wanted to say that the money was not given by him, and it was Su Min'er who begged his mother Li to get the money. But if he said that, Su Xuqing and Shen Xuanheng would blame Li again. But if he refused to tell the truth and put the blame on Su Min'er and Zhao...

After all, it is Su Miner's mother's family. If something happens to the Zhao family, he will inevitably have to provide some financial support.

I'm going to die anyway, so I might as well just do what he said.

After pondering for a moment, Shen Chejin had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree with a sad face, "Uncle Jiu, Min'er's dowry is really too little, I was worried that she would lose face, so I gave her some money. Min'er is already so pitiful, please forgive her this time, Uncle Jiu and Aunt Jiu."

Su Xuqing didn't even bother to glance at Shen Chejin. She walked slowly to Shen Xuanheng's side, sat down, picked up a cup of tea and took a sip.

Her movements were slow, and Shen Xuanheng remained silent. Everyone in the room was waiting for her to speak.

The house, which had been noisy for a while, suddenly became so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard.

After finishing a sip of tea, Su Xuqing put down the teacup and slowly spoke, "It's not impossible to forgive me this time, but Aunt Zhao still has to return my mother's dowry. Although what you said just now makes sense, subsidizing the husband's family and subsidizing the husband's concubine's family are two different things. I don't want to subsidize the Duke's Mansion anymore, so the rest is not justifiable, right?"

Su Min'er just felt that she was being fooled.

She had already bowed her head and apologized, but Su Xuqing still insisted on the dowry issue. This was embarrassing for her.

What is shame?

"Sister." Su Min'er suddenly fell to Su Xuqing's feet and hugged Su Xuqing's thighs. "I know that sister blames me for taking Brother Jin away, so she is unwilling to let Daddy love me and spend all his money on me. But sister, some things can't be forced. What's not yours will never be yours. Even if you take back the dowry from your stepmother, Brother Jin will not marry you because of this."

Su Xuqing almost vomited on Su Miner's head.

She couldn't understand Su Min'er's train of thought. How did this person connect these two things together? She wanted her mother's dowry, so what did it have to do with Shen Chejin?

Besides, only Su Min'er treats a rag-and-bone guy like Shen Chejin as a treasure.

It made Su Xuqing sound very rare.

Rolling her eyes without caring about her image, Su Xuqing gestured to Chunhua to pull the person hanging on her thigh away, "Sister, you are so suspicious. I only have money in my eyes, nothing else."

Two pairs of eyes were fixed on Su Xuqing.

One was a resentful look from Shen Chejin, and the other was an interested look from Shen Xuanheng beside Su Xuqing.

But in a moment, Su Xuqing seemed to remember something and added, "If there is anything else, it is a few herbs that my mother collected when she was alive. I remember that after she passed away, these herbs seemed to be stored in the warehouse. When my uncle brought back the things from Gu's house, these herbs were not there. Could it be... that my aunt embezzled them?"

Staring at Zhao with burning eyes, Su Xuqing smiled, "If you have kept it, please give it to me. It is useless for you to keep it, but it is just right for my husband to replenish his body. Mother said before that she would give it to me in the future. This is not what she intends to use to support my husband's family."

Zhao was furious.

Of course she had the medicine, and she had never touched it. Although she once wanted to send it to her mother's house, she was afraid of her prodigal brother. She was afraid that this good thing would be pawned by her brother, so she kept it with her, thinking of giving it to Su Min'er to replenish her body when she became pregnant. The medicine was a top-grade stuff, and if the Gu family had not gone to the Western Regions that year, they would not have been able to get this good thing.

But now, we have finally waited for Su Miner to get married, and she will be pregnant in a while, and it will be time for her to use this medicine. Yet, Su Xuqing wants to take the medicine back at this time!

Su Xuqing pretended not to notice the resentful expression on Zhao's face. She turned her head and smiled at Shen Xuanheng, "My husband is weak. The herbs my mother left behind are the best for replenishing qi. I will stew them for you later. I believe my husband will get better soon."

Upon hearing that Shen Xuanheng would recover, Duke Su immediately raised his head.

This herb was left by his wife. If it was sent to the Zhennan Palace by Su Xuqing, once Shen Xuanheng's body was cured, the old prince and the old princess would definitely not forget the contribution of their Su family!

Considering how much they love their youngest son, the benefits brought to the Su family are definitely far greater than the value of the herbs!

The more Duke Su thought about it, the happier he became. He quickly ordered Zhao to hand over the key to the storehouse and immediately sent someone to the storehouse to get the herbs.

Several brocade boxes were presented to Su Xuqing and Shen Xuanheng.

Su Xuqing opened them one by one and looked at them. Seeing that there was not a single one missing, she was satisfied and told Chunhua to put the brocade box away. "Father, Aunt, it shouldn't be a problem to deliver the remaining 28 loads of dowry to the General's Mansion within ten days, right?"

"Qing'er." The joy on Duke Su's face faded, and he looked a little unhappy. "You know what the situation is like in your aunt's family. We are all family. Even if she gives some money to her parents' family, it's not a big deal. This matter..."

Su Xuqing waited patiently for him to continue. Seeing that Duke Su had not finished his words but was waiting for her to back off, Su Xuqing chuckled and spoke, "Even if there is a subsidy, it should be father who uses his own salary to subsidize Auntie. How can he use his wife's dowry to subsidize her? I'm afraid people will laugh at me if I tell others. If I tell my mother-in-law, she will also say that the Su family has no rules."

Duke Su was so angry that his face turned pale and he couldn't utter a word.

Su Xuqing was very satisfied. She stood up and pretended to go out. "Then I will wait for the message from my uncle in the palace. Thank you, father, and aunt. I will take my leave today."
