Xin Nianyan came to Jingxinyuan, and the old lady was already waiting for her here early.

When Xin Nianyan came in, her eyes flashed, but her attitude was obviously much better than before.

"Yan'er is back. Come here and warm yourself by the fire. Is it cold outside?"

The Xin family used to live in the south, and they would always burn a stove to keep warm in the winter, and now is no exception.

However, only the old lady's house was burned, and no other courtyards were burned.

Xin Nianyan sat down next to him and said obediently: "Fortunately, the sun is out today and it's not very cold. Has grandma had dinner?"

"Not yet. No, I heard that Yan'er is back. Do you want to wait for you to come back? Yan'er hasn't had dinner with her grandmother for several days," the old lady said.

"Yeah, seeing as grandma hasn't been feeling well these days, Yan'er didn't dare to disturb her," Xin Nianyan said.

She took the initiative to take the responsibility on herself. As expected, the old lady was just showing off her good attitude, but she became much more sincere.

"Hehehe, Yan'er is a sensible person. By the way, I heard that you went out today, but is it the Duke's residence in our country?"

Xin Nianyan: "Well, yes, I went to see cousin Jinyu."

"Then Miss Jinyu's health is feeling better. She fell into the lotus pond on such a cold day, didn't she suffer any illness?" the old lady asked again.

Xin Nianyan shook his head and said truthfully: "No, when Yan'er went to see her, cousin Jinyu's face was rosy. I guess there is nothing wrong with her."

"That's good." The old lady looked relieved and sighed: "In the final analysis, this matter is our Xin family's fault. It's rare for them to come here once and cause something like that. Does Yan'er have a grandmother to tell her to?"

Are your grandmother and the others apologizing?"

"Yes, grandma said that since my sister has apologized, the matter is over and they won't care about it anymore," Xin Nianyan said.

"That's good, that's good. Do they have anything else to ask?" the old lady asked tentatively.

Xin Nianyan knew what she wanted to ask. She pretended to hesitate and thought about it. Seeing the old lady frowning slightly, she shook her head and said, "I don't want to ask anything else. I just want Yan'er to ask again when she is free next time."

past."

The old lady was completely relieved now. She patted Xin Nianyan's hand and said with a smile: "They are right, you should go for a walk more often. After all, your mother died early, so you should go and spend more time with her on your behalf."

She is old."

"That's what grandma said."

The two chatted casually, and by dinner time, Xin Yuanwen also came back.

This time Xin Nianyan didn't need to speak, and the old lady took the initiative to say: "Wen'er, I asked you to thoroughly investigate the matter of Shiying's missing dowry. How did the investigation go?"

Xin Nianyan paused while eating and said hesitantly: "Mother, that..."

He glanced at Xin Nianyan, hesitating to speak. The old lady guessed something, and immediately lowered her face and said, "Is Mr. Zhang unwilling to return it?"

Xin Yuanwen opened his mouth, and finally nodded, but he explained: "Mom, after all these years, Rou'er is also my daughter..."

In fact, none of the dowry was missing, it was just moved from Chen Shiying's warehouse to Zhang Yunhui's warehouse.

When he saw it, his eyelids jumped.

But Zhang Yunhui cried and fussed in front of him, saying that after so many years, she had told Rou'er that these would be her dowry in the future, and would Rou'er be sad if she returned them again?

Thinking of the daughter he had always loved, and seeing Zhang Yunhui's badly injured appearance, he softened his heart for a moment.

But as soon as she heard what he said, the old lady knew what he wanted to say, and slapped her chopsticks on the table without waiting for him to speak, interrupting his next words.

"Wen'er, you are confused. Rou'er is your daughter. Can we, the Prime Minister's Office, treat her badly in the future?" The old lady looked at him with hatred: "Those dowries were left by Shi Ying, naturally.

It all belongs to Yan'er. If you give it all to Rou'er, what will outsiders think? Will they think that our prime minister's office is working together to bully Yan'er, a child without a mother?"

"Mother, I..." Xin Yuanwen frowned, unable to find the words for a moment.

"What are you doing? Mrs. Zhang has short-sighted eyes, and you must have short-sighted eyes too!" Thinking of Zhang Yunhui's petty and arrogant appearance, the old lady became angry and ordered directly: "You must return those dowries.

If you don’t listen, don’t recognize me as your mother!”

She was really going to be mad at this son.

For the sake of the Zhang mother and daughter, I even gave up my own face.

Seeing that Xin Yuanwen was still hesitant, the old lady gave him a strong dose of medicine.

"Okay, it seems that you are really obsessed with that woman Zhang. Since you won't even listen to me because of her, then I will pack my things and go back to the countryside now, and you can stay here with her.

, I can’t afford to lose this person to you!”

After saying that, she stood up, as if she was about to leave immediately.

Xin Yuanwen was so frightened that he quickly grabbed her and said, "Mom, please stop. My son has not disobeyed you. I will ask someone to move the dowry back now."

Then he shouted outside: "Come here, find two people and move all the dowries in the warehouse in the Madam's yard back to the Madam's warehouse. Not a single piece is missing."

The old lady paused and then sat down again: "That's pretty much it."

Immediately she sighed again and reasoned with Xin Yuanwen sincerely: "Wen'er, mother is not making things difficult for you, it's just that Mrs. Zhang is short-sighted and took something that didn't belong to her. If Yan'er hadn't come back,

Forget it, now that Yan'er is back, if you don't return it, what will outsiders say about you if this matter spreads outside in the future?"

Xin Nianyan, who had been silent for the whole time, his eyes flashed.

I don't know whether the old lady's last words were intentional or unintentional, as if it was somehow her fault and she shouldn't have come back.

"I understand, mother." Xin Yuanwen said in a low voice, showing that he was in a very bad mood.

On the other side, the housekeeper, who had received orders from Xin Yuanwen, led a few people and broke into the warehouse of Huilan Courtyard. Looking at the dowry that filled the warehouse, the housekeeper said nothing and asked his servants to start moving.

These things, as long as the old people in the mansion can basically recognize them, are all the dowries that the late wife brought into the prime minister's mansion.

Now that they all appeared here, even the housekeeper couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

Such a big movement from the housekeeper naturally attracted Zhang Yunhui's attention.

She was recovering well in her room, but when she heard that the housekeeper was bringing people to the warehouse to move things, she was so shocked that she almost jumped out of bed.

However, the whiplash she suffered last time has not healed yet, and she could not even get up. She could only urge the maid: "Chunlan, hurry up, go and see what is going on outside, why did the housekeeper suddenly come to move things?
