After rebirth, the scumbag prince only wants to pamper his wife every day

Sure enough, He Qingchen's next sentence was: "It's a dowry."

Emperor Zhaoyuan: "..."

Guess it right!

Zhou Chonghai next to him also frowned, his eyes full of confusion.

The Prince of Yan’s Mansion is having a grand wedding, the Lin family is marrying off their daughter, there is a ten-mile long wedding bridal party, the entire city’s citizens and countless guests are watching, how could this be fake?

Zhou Chonghai’s question was also the question of Emperor Zhaoyuan.

He Qingchen knew that this was incredible, but it really happened.

He slowly took out a wooden box from his sleeve. When Shen Guidi saw the box, his eyelids jumped.

Isn’t that the empty box he took away last night?

Last night she was wondering why he squeezed the contents of the two boxes into one box and left the other box empty. So, he wanted to bring the boxes here?

Shen Guidi looked at He Qingchen strangely.

But he held the box respectfully in both hands and handed it to the dragon table himself.

Emperor Zhao Yuan glanced down and didn't rush to open it. Instead, he looked at He Qingchen and asked in confusion: "What is this?"

"Dowry." He Qingchen replied calmly, "Father, the Lin family is marrying off their daughter, but because it is a concubine's daughter, they don't want to give the dowry that should have been given to Lin Qingran to Asi, so they called someone to replace all the invisible things in the dowry box with stones."

Emperor Zhao Yuan was shocked: "... all replaced with stones?"

The Lin family is not short of money, right?

Not only did he replace the concubine, but how could he do such a shameless thing?

"Yes, not only that, Madam Lin didn't even want to leave anything in Asui's dressing box. There were only a few cheap silver-plated hairpins in it. As a result, Asui couldn't find any jewelry to use when she went out today. Fortunately, there are still some things you gave me in my storeroom. Now Asui is using the ruby ​​and red gold headdress that Pagan presented to her before."

He narrowed his eyes and stared carefully at the jewelry on Shen Guidi's head. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Zhou Chonghai remained calm on the surface, but he was laughing like crazy inside.

What is this?

He had seen outrageous things before, but he had never seen anything as outrageous as this.

If the Lin family was so poor that they could barely make ends meet, then withholding the bride's dowry could be barely justified. But were the Lin family really that poor?

No.

Although Minister Lin was born in a humble family and had no possessions.

But the maternal grandfather of this Princess Shen was a wealthy businessman in Hanzhou back then, and their family wealth was one of the best in Hanzhou. For this reason, Princess Shen's mother left a lot of property.

And then there is Mrs. Lin herself.

She is the legitimate daughter of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.

When she married into the Lin family, she had a grand wedding with a generous dowry. I'm afraid that anyone with a bit of dignity wouldn't do such a thing, right?

Emperor Zhaoyuan turned his head and glanced at Zhou Chonghai.

Zhou Chonghai's body suddenly tensed up.

Emperor Zhaoyuan opened his mouth several times and after a long while, he asked: "Then what is the dowry in your box..."

Ten miles of red makeup, just filled with such a small box?

"Father, the Lin family's substitute marriage is a secret. If I hadn't already met Miss Lin, I would have been able to get away with it.

Fortunately, my son discovered something was wrong and confronted Asi in time.

Asi mentioned that on the night when Miss Lin ran away from her marriage, Mrs. Lin secretly summoned many servants to the warehouse. It didn't seem like they were going to look for Miss Lin, but rather to do something in the warehouse.

I guess that Madam Lin might be planning to do something with the dowry.

Therefore, he promptly instructed the servants to take good care of the princess's dowry.

Yesterday morning, I invited Lord Lin and his wife, and Lord Qi to come to the mansion for a confrontation, and also invited the fifth uncle and the eighth aunt to be witnesses for me. After opening the dowry boxes, I found that there was nothing missing inside, they were all filled with stones. "

Everything He Qingchen said has traces to follow.

He had just woken up from his wedding, and on the next day he anxiously invited Prince Chong'an and his wife, Princess Jianning, Marquis Dingyuan, and the Lin couple to his house. He Qingchen didn't believe that Emperor Zhaoyuan knew nothing about such a big event.

Even if he didn't know the details, Emperor Zhao Yuan must have known about their entry into the palace.

He Qingchen understood that Emperor Zhao Yuan was waiting for him to confess.

As for how to confess, that is a matter between He Qingchen and Shen Guidi.

Since entering the palace, He Qingchen's various accusations and grievances have been waiting for this moment.

Emperor Zhao Yuan really couldn't imagine what the Lin family did. He repeated to confirm: "All of them? There is not a single box that contains the real dowry?"

"Yes, all of them."

"What happened next? What's the matter with this box?" Emperor Zhao Yuan's expression did not slow down. He casually pointed at the box on the dragon table, but his eyes were looking straight at He Qingchen.

“Father, in this world, if a man touches his wife’s dowry, he will be laughed at.

Under normal circumstances, I would not want to argue with the Lin family over such trivial matters.

But the Lin family's concubine's daughter was married off first, and then the princess's dowry was withheld. I, your son, really cannot swallow this.

What's more, the dowry is Asi's confidence in the palace, and also her face in the imperial city in the future. If she can't get it back, how aggrieved will she be?

I don't want her to suffer such an injustice, and I don't want her to be laughed at in banquets of all sizes in the future.

She discussed with Lord Lin and Lord Qi and asked them to take back all the dowry, and they agreed.

But with so much dowry, it would be really embarrassing for the Wang Mansion and the Lin Mansion to carry it all again.

After much deliberation, I came up with a fairly workable solution, which is to cash in all the items listed in the dowry.

Inside the box was the silver note that was converted into cash for the dowry.

I had thought that if the princess liked the items in the dowry, I could use this silver to buy them slowly.

However, this matter ultimately involves the reputation of the royal family. I have been thinking about it all night and feel that it is more appropriate to hand them over to you first and let you make the decision."

Emperor Zhaoyuan: "..."

You have said all the good and bad things by yourself, what else can I say?

Emperor Zhao Yuan glared at him unhappily, slowly opened the box and flipped through it casually.

It seems like a considerable number.

However, it's not surprising.

On the dowry list, there must have been additional dowries given by Concubine Hui and the Qi family. Now that all of them have been cashed in, will the Lin family be mad to death?

What are you talking about discussing and agreeing?

It's all bullshit.

It's clearly a threat, right?

Otherwise, why did he invite Lao Wu and the others? Just to be witnesses?

Don’t believe him.

After listening to the whole story, Shen Guidi understood that after He Qingchen took the empty box, he must have taken a lot of silver from the palace to pay it back, right?

She secretly looked at He Qingchen with a complicated expression.

It seemed as if she was reconsidering and pondering He Qingchen. He was real and very different from what she knew.

Emperor Zhao Yuan lazily put down the box.

He squinted at He Qingchen, not knowing if it was an illusion, but he always felt that after a serious injury, his son seemed different.
