Use a substitute on your wedding night to scatter the ashes of your entire family

She said to Ling Heng, "Wanwan's marriage has only been going on for a short time. I asked Yizhu about her dowry, and it's all in the storeroom. Take a look at this dowry list. If there's nothing wrong with it, I'll have someone take it away, and I'll also send someone to the government office to report it. Alas, I'm doing this for His Highness' sake. Wanwan is gone, and I can't let people curse His Highness behind his back for eating his deceased wife's dowry. It's bad for His Highness's reputation."

Ling Heng was extremely angry. Although the business of his secret shops had been greatly affected in the past few months, she really looked down on Li Shuangwan's dowry.

There was a trace of sadness on her face, and she cried as she spoke, "Mother-in-law, what are you saying? Ah Wan and I have a deep love for each other. I didn't protect her well, so how can I use her dowry? I will ask the housekeeper to do it, and he will return every penny."

Li Shuangmiao became anxious when she heard this. She had been married for more than half a month, so how could she not know that Prince Heng's Mansion was just an empty shell? Even the things in her room as a concubine were not as good as those in the General's Mansion.

Everything we eat and use is incomparable.

After all, almost most of the things in the General's Mansion were rewards from the eldest son's house, and they were all things from the palace.

Not to mention the dowry that Zhu gave to Li Shuangwan.

She knew that it was a huge sum of money. If they had held a grand wedding banquet, it would have been a grand affair that stretched for ten miles.

Madam Zhu was a royal merchant of Northern Jin. Mr. Zhu and the old lady had two sons and one daughter. Mr. Zhu loved his youngest daughter very much, and when she married into the General's Mansion, he gave her a considerable dowry.

And almost all of this dowry was given to Li Shuangwan.

It can be seen how huge the money is.

Otherwise, with Prince Heng’s Mansion being an empty shell, how could Li Shuangwan have lived such a carefree life in the two months since she got married?

But now, Zhu actually wants to take the dowry away. Why?

Their eldest branch of the family doesn't have a daughter anymore. Does that mean they need so much dowry to find a wife for Li Yuanqiao?

What if Li Yuanqiao died on the battlefield in the northwest? Aren’t all the things of their eldest house their second house?

Li Shuangmiao blocked her way with both hands, her face immediately fell: "Aunt, my elder sister loved me the most when she was alive. There were only two women like us in the backyard of Prince Heng's Mansion. After His Highness went on duty during the day, we stayed together. My elder sister always said that what was hers was mine. Now she..."

Before she could finish her words, Roman said angrily with red eyes: "My Lady Concubine, you should have evidence when you speak, don't just talk nonsense and flatter yourself."

She was so angry that tears fell: "When did the princess stay with you so often? When did she say that her things are yours? I am the princess's personal maid, and we are together for six or seven hours out of the twelve hours a day. How come I have never heard of this?"

Li Shuangmiao glanced at her calmly and said, "How could a servant like you know the private conversations between us sisters? I think you are the one who is just trying to flatter yourself."

"Oh, really? I didn't know that the princess and you are so close sisters, why did your Princess of Fuguangyuan send an old woman and a little maid, and it was Steward Luo who picked them randomly from the human traffickers the day before you entered the mansion."

"You!" Li Shuangmiao's chest heaved violently with anger, and he looked at Ling Heng with tears in his eyes: "Your Highness, Luo Man is just a servant, and she dared to humiliate me like this. I will beat her with a stick, I will beat her to death!"

Ling Heng gave her a cold look.

Zhu Anhe snorted coldly: "Since when has it become your turn as a concubine to decide the fate of Ah Wan's maid?"

Li Shuangmiao knew that it was impossible to ask Zhu Anhe for help. She was carried into Prince Heng's palace through a small gate in a sedan chair. Her father was only a fifth-rank official, and her brother's official position was even lower.

Their second house can use the money of the first house, but it is impossible to use it openly as a dowry for her. If there is no dowry from Li Shuangwan, how can she live with the poverty of Prince Heng's Mansion?

"My eldest sister is gone, she would definitely be willing to leave her dowry to me. And these things are now in Prince Heng's Mansion, so they belong to Prince Heng's Mansion. Aunt, you can't take them away."

Before Zhu Anhe could speak, Ling Heng's face darkened. How could he have fallen for this idiot in the first place? He was so angry that veins on his forehead were throbbing. "Ah Wan's things will always be hers. I will never allow you to take her things! Mother-in-law, I will ask Butler Luo to come over."

Li Shuangmiao didn't care about her face anymore and grabbed Ling Heng's arm: "Your Highness! Li Shuangwan is dead, she is dead, why would she need these things!"

Yi Qing tried desperately to pull her clothes from behind, but failed to stop her.

"Shut up!" Ling Heng slapped her. If she wasn't pregnant and the baby in her belly was of great use, he would never have tolerated her.

How could such a person be Zhier's biological sister?

It's really stupid!

Li Shuangmiao was stunned by Ling Heng's slap. She covered her face with her hands, tears streaming down her face. She looked at Ling Heng aggrievedly, and saw that his eyes were full of anger, and even a hint of murderous intent flashed in them. However, she did not dare to say another word.

Fortunately, her mother had been released from house arrest and had taken back her power as the mistress of the General's Mansion. She also sent a message to her, telling her to keep calm, as Zhu would have to return to the northwest in a few days anyway.

Of course, she couldn't believe her parents. All they had in their eyes were her brother Li Yuanming and the dying Li Shuangzhi.

So she didn't tell them about her pregnancy, and didn't allow Yi Qing to reveal it.

Zhu Anhe was so angry that he was shaking all over. From Li Huaiyi to Li Shuangmiao, none of the people in the second branch were good people.

While packing up Li Shuangwan's things, Chen Rong whispered in Roman's ear, "I didn't even see the concubine shed two tears in front of the princess's coffin. Now that she can't get the dowry, she's crying like this. She really has no shame at all."

The dowry was checked quickly. Zhu Anhe came with some people and took all the things back that afternoon.

Li Shuangmiao was half-dragged and half-persuaded by Yi Qing to return to Fuguangyuan.

"My Lady Concubine, how can you say such things in front of the Madam?"

Li Shuangmiao slapped him and said, "Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you teach me a lesson!"

Yi Qing covered his face, lowered his head and dared not speak, but a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes.

Two days later, Li Shuangwan received news on the way to Daliang that Nanny Zhao was being cut into pieces by Ling Heng. Her flesh was cut off piece by piece, a total of one thousand and eight pieces. To prevent her from screaming before her death, her tongue was cut off.

And her gambler son, who was placed in the palace and had his roots cut off, could not change his gambling habit. A few days after entering the palace, he gambled with other young eunuchs at night and failed to serve his master well the next day. He was beaten to death early. Now, even his body is gone.

The true identity of Bishuiquan Villa was revealed by the Embroidered Uniform Guards, and the people in Shengjing City were dumbfounded. It turned out that it was Ling Shijiang's property. No wonder he had been rampant in Shengjing City for several years and no one dared to offend him.

What’s funny is that the emperor not only doted on his younger brother for more than ten years, but also raised his son for nineteen years.
