After rebirth, the regent princess wanted to rebel every day

Her eyes darkened and she said, "I'm afraid Manager Lin doesn't recognize his position. Whether I can take care of the affairs and how well I do it are not things that you, as a manager, should worry about! It would be fine if you came to me on your own initiative, but my maid saw you coming to Mingxuan so early in the morning!" Jiang Wanyue sneered.

Manager Lin was so frightened that his legs went limp and he knelt down: "Miss, please understand. I know I was wrong. It was because I didn't know the rules. I should have gone to find Miss first!"

Chen's heart skipped a beat, and she stepped forward to explain: "Miss, Manager Lin is also thinking about you. He is afraid that you will be too busy for the time being, so he came to me for advice. He has no intention of interfering with you!"

Jiang Wanyue looked at Chen's anxious face and wanted to plead for Manager Lin? Did she really think she was the same Jiang Wanyue as before and could still let her control her?

Nanny Kong was Chen's dowry nanny, and they had a very close relationship, but in the end she still betrayed Chen.

But Chen was able to take charge of the entire Bo Mansion shortly after Su's death. She must have used many tricks. It is estimated that most of the people in the mansion now are her people.

But so what?

Let’s eliminate Chen’s minions in the mansion one by one, starting with Manager Lin!

"Oh? Auntie means that Manager Lin did nothing wrong, but I shouldn't be in charge of the household, right? Or is it really like what Third Sister said yesterday, that Auntie is looking forward to me getting married so that Auntie can become the only mistress of the family?"

Chen shuddered, obviously because Jiang Wanyue hit the nail on the head. She cursed inwardly, but didn't show it on her face: "What is the young lady talking about? With the young lady here, what is there for me to do? I was thinking earlier that if the young lady is fine, the household expenses will eventually be handed over to her."

"In that case, Manager Lin has ill intentions and has overstepped his authority. He will be punished. Auntie, will you not have any complaints against me?"

Manager Lin had already defected to Chen's side. As for when he started to have these second thoughts, he cannot stay for long, but he cannot be kicked out of the house so early.

It is impossible for Chen to give up such an important position as "General Manager of a Prefecture", and General Manager Lin still has other uses.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wanyue began to make a plan in her mind.

"I dare not. The servant did something wrong, and it is only right for the young lady to punish him. It would be better to give him thirty lashes as a warning." Chen said angrily.

"Aunt is really thoughtful." Jiang Wanyue nodded.

Just when Chen felt relieved, Jiang Wanyue's voice rang in her ears again: "But it's the beginning of the day now. It would be unlucky to see blood in the morning. How about this, after lunch, gather all the servants in the mansion to Xiangyue Pavilion. It just so happens that I have something to say."

Jiang Wanyue took in Chen's expression. Chen wanted to let the matter rest with a simple punishment, but how could this matter be covered so easily?

Chen's breath, which had just been released, came back again. Her fingernails hidden in her sleeves were about to dig into her flesh, and a hint of hatred and resentment flashed in her eyes.

But she still agreed on the surface: "Miss is right."

Manager Lin, who was kneeling beside him, was also trembling, with cold sweat pouring down his forehead but he didn't dare to wipe it off. He was also afraid that he would be kicked out of the house. Now that he heard that he was just going to be beaten with a stick, he immediately felt relieved.

Manager Lin kowtowed to Jiang Wanyue several times and said, "Thank you, Miss, for showing mercy."

Jiang Wanyue glanced at Manager Lin and said nothing more. After all, the account books were in her hands now, so even if Chen wanted to, she couldn't change anything.

But if Manager Lin reported false accounts in private, then it would be justified to kick him out.

Therefore, Jiang Wanyue was not worried about what Chen and Manager Lin were planning in private.

But there is something more important at the moment.

"I heard that now that my mother has passed away, her dowry list is being managed by a concubine. How can this be possible? Please return my mother's dowry list and items to me." Jiang Wanyue deliberately emphasized the word "concubine" and looked at Chen with sharp eyes.

Chen: "..."

Little bitch, repeatedly emphasizing that she is just a concubine! Chen was furious, but she couldn't openly oppose Jiang Wanyue.

Chen said with a fake smile, "After the madam passed away, the master, considering the young lady was still young, entrusted the household items and the madam's dowry to me. He originally thought that when the young lady was older, I would return these things to the original owner, which would not disappoint the master's high expectations."

Everyone in the capital knew that when Su married into the Earl's Mansion, she brought in a total of 120 dowries. Each box was filled with genuine ornaments, calligraphy and paintings, utensils, etc. Even if the current princess was getting married, the dowry would be even more than that.

Just talking about Su's dowry shop, it has an annual income of at least 500,000. Chen had seen the huge profits three years ago. Now Jiang Wanyue asked for it right away. Chen was so angry that she almost couldn't breathe.

When Jiang Wanyue heard this, she was shocked by Chen's shamelessness. If Chunhe had not mentioned before that it was Chen who took the initiative to ask for the list of household supplies and dowry, she would have almost believed it.

Given Jiang Bo's doting nature on his daughter, he would certainly not be willing to hand over his deceased wife's dowry to his concubine. It's unknown what Chen said to make Jiang Bo give in.

But no matter what, it was not originally something that belonged to the Chen family.

Jiang Wanyue said, "Now the household goods are in my hands. Auntie, please count them and give them to me as soon as possible! If I find out that something is missing or that I have used inferior goods as good ones, you will know the consequences."

If the concubine covets the wife's dowry, if this gets out, it will say that there is unrest in the rear house of the Shixin Earl's Mansion. If one prospers, all prosper. If one suffers, all suffer. How will Jiang Wei be able to arrange marriage in the future?

Chen lowered her eyes, thinking about all these in her mind, but she had finally brought down the Su family, and now all she needed was to take the position of Lady of Shixin Earl. How could she give up?

Chen's face turned dark, and she hated Jiang Wanyue more and more.

"What's wrong? Aunt, are you unwilling to return it to me? Aunt, have you forgotten that I am the legitimate eldest daughter of this mansion, and you are no different from a servant in front of me! I was ignorant before, and let things that should have belonged to my mother fall into the hands of a concubine like you. But now, it is only natural that the things should be returned to the original owner! If Aunt still doesn't want to, then I don't mind going to the Dali Temple, and we will confront each other in court and tell who is right and who is wrong!" Jiang Wanyue said indifferently.

Chen shuddered, obviously not expecting Jiang Wanyue to bring the case to the Dali Temple. If she really wanted to bring the matter to the Dali Temple, then she would not only lose a dowry list.

Chen began to think about what was more important. She gritted her teeth and said, "I have no intention of not returning it. Please give me some time. I will count the madam's dowry and send it back to Xiangyue Pavilion."

"Why bother with all this? Auntie is still under house arrest, so I think she has plenty of time. I will send someone to count with you later. By then, Manager Lin's matter will be settled, and I will have handed over the affairs of the mansion. I hope we can count and store mother's dowry before sunset. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if a few fools steal it and buy it. Auntie, don't you agree?"

Jiang Wanyue immediately rejected Chen's proposal, smiled at Chen, and left Mingxuan without waiting for Chen to refute.

Want to bargain with her? She refused to give Chen this opportunity.

Chen looked at Jiang Wanyue's leisurely back and was so angry that her whole body was shaking.

Are you so impatient to take back a dead person's things? But even so, Chen still felt very painful. Every item in Su's dowry was genuine!

And the last sentence was clearly a veiled criticism of her, which was really infuriating!

The look in Chen's eyes as she looked at Jiang Wanyue at this moment seemed to be filled with poison.

In another room of Mingxuan, there was also a pair of eyes staring at Jiang Wanyue, with murderous intent in their eyes.

After coming out of Mingxuan, Jiang Wanyue did not go directly back to Xiangyue Pavilion, but went to Jiang Ye's yard. Jiang Ye was still reluctant to go out, but at least the room was much tidier and had a bit of liveliness.

Jiang Wanyue also thought about finding a skilled craftsman from outside to make a wheelchair for Jiang Ye in a few days so that Jiang Ye could move around. Otherwise, his bones would become soft if he lay in bed all day.

After chatting with Jiang Ye for a while, Jiang Wanyue just walked out of the yard when a servant came to tell her that Jiang Cheng asked her to go to the study.
