Minister Gu held in his hand the list of Madam Li's dowry, which was prepared by Madam Li long ago. She also had a few copies that she had rewritten.

Madam Li and Tian both thought that the dowry list was in their hands. In fact, she also had many confidants in the mansion. Before, she was with Princess Zhaoyang, her elder sister, and some good friends. They were all trained by their families since childhood. Although they were confused for a while, they would never be stupid forever.

After they come to their senses, they can no longer be dealt with by just a concubine.

Old Madam Li looked at Princess Zhaoyang, then at Minister Gu.

She knew the identity of Minister Gu, he was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, his official rank was one level higher than her son's. It was said that he was also the father of Princess Chao'an.

Unexpectedly, Meng would drop such a big bomb today. Isn't Meng afraid of ruining Wei'er?

If this gets out, the Li family will become a laughing stock in Jiangnan, and Wei'er will also be looked down upon. What kind of husband will she be able to find in the future?

"Daughter-in-law, please talk to the princess. Your mother-in-law was wrong in the past, but the Li family has not treated you unfairly over the years..."

How could Madam Li admit her mistake? She felt that everything in the Meng family belonged to the Li family, and now the Meng family wanted to take back the dowry, and the previous ones had to be compensated to the Meng family, so what was left for the Li family?

Only at this moment did she remember that the Li family back then was just a small family in Jiangnan, and their family only had a shop and a house, with only a few old women and maids in the mansion. Compared with the Meng family in the capital, there was a world of difference.

At the beginning, when her son was able to marry Meng, she was very happy.

Meng is the cousin of the Crown Princess, so her family will be married into the royal family in the future, and the Crown Princess's son will have to call her eldest daughter-in-law aunt.

But later, something happened to the Meng family. Some were beheaded, some were exiled. When the news reached Jiangnan, they were terrified. She was terrified at the time, fearing that the emperor would kill her family as well.

Later, her son spent some money to arrange for it, and they got through it safely. She was afraid that something bad would happen in the future, so she targeted Meng at the instigation of her niece. But she didn't dare to kill Meng openly, and only dared to torture Meng as a mother-in-law.

Later, when Princess Zhaoyang sent someone to deliver gifts, she realized that her daughter-in-law was actually connected to Princess Zhaoyang. She was afraid that Meng would complain, so she didn't dare to torture her. But she naturally set her sights on Meng's dowry, thinking of taking all the money from Meng. In the future, it would belong to the Li family and be spent on her grandchildren.

As for Li Wei, she was just a girl, so she could just give her a portion of the dowry. Letting Li Wei marry back to the Tian family was also a sign of respect for her.

"Madam, I'm just taking back my dowry, why are you crying?"

Listening to Meng's words and looking at her proud look with her head held high, Madam Li became even more anxious.

"If you make such a fuss, our family will become a big joke in Jiangnan. Wei'er will also be laughed at..."

Making a fuss? Her mother-in-law actually thought she was making a fuss?

It was clearly her dowry, but the Li family had occupied it for so many years and actually thought it belonged to them?

Yun Zhao clapped his hands and laughed.

"It's really interesting. After you snatch someone else's things, you think they are your own after a few years? Who dares to laugh at Aunt Meng?"

No matter how great Grandma Gu is, she is not as shameless as Madam Li.
