Chapter 24 Mother’s dowry will not come back

"Grandma, please don't talk about my sister like that. She is not like that. She must have had a hard time these years."

Yu Wanrong spoke up at this time, her tone was sad, and she seemed to feel very sorry for Yu Yunxi.

"Rong'er, why do you have to speak for this despicable Hu Meizi? She is also the Prime Minister's daughter. No matter how much face you gain for the Prime Minister, she will bring trouble to the Prime Minister." Zhou's tone became more and more disgusting.

In the house, most of the other concubines and aunts were watching the show.

To be able to make the old lady hate her so much, this young lady is really "skilled".

Yu Yunxi ignored these looks. She walked slowly to the chair next to her and sat down, holding a cup of hot tea.

Miss Sixth and Miss Seven, who were closer to her, had sudden changes in their expressions, and they both quickly hid aside. They were obviously afraid that she would splash hot tea on their faces like she did just now.

Sensing their fear, Yu Yunxi raised her eyebrows and slowly took a sip of tea.

"Since grandma hates me so much, I'll just stop coming to say hello from now on," she said quietly.

"There are really no rules. How can we skip paying greetings to the elders?" Aunt Gao started to get angry again.

"Alright," Mrs. Zhou felt that the noise in her ears was too loud. She turned around and ordered to Yun Xi with a straight face, "Since you have decided to return to the Yu family, you will have to clear up your relationship with the regent in the future."

Have you settled your relationship with the Prince Regent?

Yu Yunxi rubbed her ears and raised her eyebrows again.

"Grandma, what do you mean by this?" she asked with a half-smile.

"You poisoned the regent back then and should have been buried, but you escaped instead. This is even more of a capital crime! Over the years, everyone has treated you as dead and given you enough dignity, but now you have to show up. This

If this matter comes before the Emperor, not only will you die, but your family will also be affected." Zhou said in a bad tone.

Yu Yunxi put down the tea cup and asked pretending to be curious: "What should the granddaughter do according to the grandmother's wishes?"

"It's very simple. As long as you are no longer the Princess Regent, the Emperor should not care about past events. You can find a time to go to the Prince Regent's Palace and ask the Prince Regent to divorce you."

Zhou raised her chin and ordered.

Hearing Zhou's words, Yu Yunxi couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

It turned out that this was the real reason why Zhou asked her to come to "say hello" today.

Is she being too naive?

But it’s not surprising that Mrs. Zhou could come up with such a bad idea. After all, she was born as a maid, and later became a mistress. She killed several ladies and gave birth to her eldest son. Her grandfather was a nostalgic person, so he carried her away.

To this position today.

Her own background was so bad that she couldn't even read a few Chinese characters. She actually despised her mother's background back then.

Every time I think of this, Yu Yunxi feels both ironic and funny.

"Grandma, who is the regent, and who am I? How can I be qualified to persuade him to do things?" Yu Yunxi's face darkened and she said expressionlessly.

"You came from a humble background, behaved vulgarly, and ran away in fear of death. He must be very disgusted with you, and he must be very willing to divorce you." Mrs. Zhou patted the table and scolded her coldly.

Afraid of death and ran away?

There was a hint of coldness in Yu Yunxi's eyes. So, is this how people in the capital view her?

Yu Wanrong probably knows the truth about her departure best.

Her cold eyes glanced at Yu Wanrong, who stiffened but soon regained her composure.

She thought to herself that all the killers back then were dead, so there was no proof. Yu Yunxi should be unable to explain herself even if she wanted to.

"Since grandma made the matter so easy, I'll trouble you to mention this matter to the regent. If he is willing to divorce me, I have no objection." Yu Yunxi said coldly.

"you……"

Zhou was a little angry. She was forced to go because she couldn't speak to the regent.

"Also, grandma, have you finished speaking? Now it's my turn to speak." The corners of Yu Yunxi's mouth curved up, and she slowly stood up.

What is she going to say?

The others frowned and stared at her.

Yu Yunxi took out a pamphlet from her body, "Back then, the dowry my mother brought from Jiangnan was a sensation. One hundred thousand taels of gold, eighteen shops in the capital, and a total of thirty boxes of precious treasures. , which are glazed lamps, sapphire porcelain, ice silk, and golden steps..."

When Yu Yunxi was counting the dowry of that year, Zhou and others' eyelids twitched.

"Okay, why did you bring this up?" Zhou said in a bad tone.

"Of course I plan to take these things back. Since ancient times, haven't mothers' dowries been left to their daughters? I was not at home before, so I bothered you to take care of them for me. Now that I'm back, it's up to me to take care of these things. Keep it."

Yu Yunxi spoke calmly.

But those people opposite looked very unnatural.

Mrs. Zhou quickly folded the sleeves of her clothes. The clothes she was wearing were made of ice silk.

And what he wears on his head is the golden step wave.

Next to them, Mrs. Chen, Yu Wanrong and several aunts all put their hands behind their backs with unnatural expressions, because the jewelry they were wearing now were the dowry mentioned by Yu Yunxi.

"Those things have been kept in Yu's house for so long. We can just look at them. You don't need to mention them again." Mrs. Zhou frowned and scolded coldly, trying to fool this matter.

Naturally, Yu Yunxi had seen their little moves clearly, and she calmly asked: "Why is grandma so worried? Are those things not in the warehouse? But it is not the law of Tianxia Kingdom. Have you made it clear that your husband's family is not allowed to covet the dowries of his wives and concubines?"

"It's ridiculous, how could we care about your mother's dowry!" Ms. Chen also began to scold.

"Since you're not worried about it, just give me the key to the warehouse and I'll go take inventory." Yu Yunxi's tone was slightly sharp.

Chen's expression froze for a moment.

Warehouse? Where else is there anything in the warehouse?

Everyone in the house was extravagant, and the Prime Minister's salary was definitely not enough for them, so they divided up that bitch's things early on.

They have almost used up all the gold...

In addition to wearing the precious jewelry themselves, they also used it to please other ladies, including the queens and concubines in the palace.

As for the shop, let alone the shop, it is losing money every year and will not be able to continue to operate.

This little bitch is quite smart, and she actually asked them for dowry as soon as she came back.

Mrs. Chen cleared her throat and began to scold: "Only the person in charge of the warehouse can touch the key to the warehouse. How can you be so polite that you start worrying about the warehouse just after you come back?"

"So, I can't see my mother's dowry anymore?" Yu Yunxi's face gradually turned cold.

"That's for sure. You and your mother are both members of the Yu family, so it's appropriate to put them in the Yu family's warehouse." Aunt Gao shouted at the top of her lungs.

She was also very excited, after all, she had stolen a lot of things herself.

The others had the same look. They were sure that as long as they didn't take out the keys to the warehouse, Yu Yunxi would have no way to do anything to them.

Oh, a powerless concubine actually wants to take back her dowry? What a dream!

"Miss, you may be disappointed today. How can someone spit out something they eat?"

At this moment, a woman came in with her waist twisted, and with her came the strong smell of rouge and gouache.
