Don't be afraid, handsome man, I will save your whole family with my melon-eating system

"Dowry? What dowry?" The old lady said coldly, "Didn't your dowry go into the mansion along with the bridal sedan?"

"Oh," Xu Zhimiao responded indifferently, "I see. That's fine. Anyway, if anyone asks me about it in the future, I'll just tell them the truth."

"The Shangshu Mansion married two legitimate daughters to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion on the same day, but unexpectedly, due to the mistake of the aunt's personal nanny, the two sedan chairs were carried to the wrong courtyard."

"Well, my sister's personal maid followed me into the east courtyard of the main house. And the maid my aunt just assigned to me followed my sister into the west courtyard of the second house."

"However, the two dowries were not carried in the wrong place in the bridal sedan! The 180-carry, solid dowry of the Crown Prince's Consort went into the west courtyard of the Second House, while the 80-carry, light dowry of the First Young Lady went into the Main House."

"My husband, you followed me into the storehouse yesterday and saw clearly what was in those eighty loads of dowry."

"Yes." Mu Shaochen nodded, "One quilt is one load, and a pair of pillows is one load. The servants counted and the bed and pillows took up thirty loads."

"The twenty loads of grain were quite full. Perhaps they felt that our main house in the Marquis's Mansion was short of grain."

"As for the other thirty loads..."

Having said this, he paused, looking as if he was thinking seriously.

However, with every word Mu Shaochen spoke, the faces of the Xu family members darkened.

No one expected that Xu Zhimiao would let Mu Shaochen see her dowry.

You have to know that the dowry is a woman's private property. After being carried into her husband's house, it goes directly into her own private vault.

Therefore, the eighty loads of dowry they prepared for Xu Zhimiao were all fake.

However, at this moment, every word Mu Shaochen said was like a slap in the face of Xu Chongshan.

"Oh, I remember now." Mu Shaochen suddenly realized.

"It should be fixed! It should be fixed!" Little Ruan interrupted him hastily, saying with a loving face, "Miao Miao, it was all my negligence that allowed those careless servants to make such a big mistake."

"You and Yue'er are both my daughters. Mother treats you two equally. How could I prepare different dowries?"

"Don't worry, I will not forgive those careless servants. Mother will give you all the dowry that Yue'er has. I will not let you lose face in the Marquis' Mansion."

Xu Zhimiao pursed her lips and smiled, "In that case, thank you, Auntie! Auntie is right, you really love me the most."

Looking at the smile on her face that couldn't be more fake, Xiao Ruan felt extremely angry, but she couldn't show it on her face.

[Tsk! You are both old foxes with a history of thousands of years. How can I suffer any loss from you? ]

[Not only will I ask you to make up for my dowry, I will also ask you to spit out the betrothal gift given by Mu Shaochen. And also my mother's dowry! ]

"Sir Xu, since this prince is not marrying the second lady of your house, then should the betrothal gifts that I brought be returned to my wife?" Mu Shaochen looked at Xu Chongshan and said slowly.

Well, his wife was right. His betrothal gift was naturally for his wife.

[Wow, how come he understands my thoughts so well? Is this considered a telepathic connection? ]

[Oh my, why are there so many pink love bubbles appearing in front of my eyes? ]

Xu Zhimiao raised her eyes, looking at Mu Shaochen with burning and affectionate eyes.

The moment he met her eyes, Mu Shaochen felt extremely happy, as if he had really received the love bubble she sent him.

It turned out that his new wife was so playful and cute.

It was actually more interesting than he expected, marrying Xu Panyue.

He had imagined a life after marriage like this: they would treat each other with respect, his wife would be dignified and would keep the house in order.

But now it is obviously far from what he imagined.

Perhaps, this is the marriage he wants and expects.

"Father..." Xu Panyue looked at Xu Chongshan unwillingly.

You know, the betrothal gift given by the first wife is twice that of the second wife.

When the two families came to propose marriage, the betrothal gifts offered by the public were the same. But the gifts given by the two families privately were completely different.

Mu Changlin is the Marquis of Dingyuan, and Mu Shaochen is the eldest son of the Marquis, so their salaries are higher than those of Mu Erjin and Mu Yiwen, father and son.

Furthermore, the father and son of the first wife have been away on military campaigns for many years and have received many rewards from the emperor.

There was also Xi, who received more rewards from the nobles in the palace than Han.

The most important point is that Xi owns many times more dowry shops than Han.

Those incomes naturally went into various private vaults.

So, when the two wives put in the betrothal gifts, the betrothal gift given by the first wife was the envy of many people!

This is why the Xu family gave different dowries to their two daughters.

But Xiao Ruan didn't expect that her precious daughter would suddenly change her mind.

She said she didn't want to marry Mu Shaochen, the prince, and insisted on marrying Mu Yiwen, the eldest grandson.

He also swore with great confidence that Mu Yiwen would replace Mu Shaochen and become the heir of the Marquisate in one year. He also said that the first wife of the Marquisate would be wiped out in one year.

She will be the most honorable mistress of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and she will trample the bitch Xu Zhimiao under her feet.

Xiao Ruan naturally didn't believe it. She wondered if Xu Panyue was possessed by a demon. How could such things happen?

But he couldn't persuade his precious daughter, so he finally agreed.

When she told Xu Chongshan about Xu Panyue's plan, as expected, he rejected it.

It took her a lot of effort to convince Xu Chongshan.

After that, the family of four discussed and arranged for a while and decided that Xu Zhimiao would take the blame.

No matter whether it is people or money, they will only belong to her daughter at that time.

But... why is it different? Why didn't the story develop as Xu Panyue said?

Also, why didn't Xu Zhimiao look like Xu Zhimiao anymore? It felt like he was a completely different person.

"My dear son-in-law, you are right. The betrothal gift should indeed be returned." Xu Chongshan glared at Xu Panyue fiercely with a warning.

Xu Panyue didn't dare to say anything, but of course she was extremely unwilling in her heart.

So many betrothal gifts! And I even have to give Xu Zhimiao, that bitch, a dowry.

Okay! I'll give it to you for now!

Anyway, after a year, all these will be in her warehouse.

Xu Zhimiao was naturally very happy as she got the same dowry and also got back Mu Shaochen's original betrothal gift.

[Sure enough, it is always easier to do things with a big tree behind you! Well, I have to hold on to Mu Shaochen, this big tree, from now on.]

[Look, Mu Yiwen's face looks terrible! He must be trying hard to hold back his killing intent! Oh oh! Xu Panyue will have a hard time when she goes back today!]

"Chunxiaqiudong, take the list of gifts that the prince gave as betrothal gifts and the list of dowry gifts for the second young lady, and check with my aunt. The four of you are responsible for bringing the things back to the East Courtyard of the Marquis' Mansion today!"
