Chapter 19 There are thieves in the house

"Hiss! What are you doing!"

The eldest lady quickly retracted her hands, looked at her bleeding wrists, and shouted angrily at Wang Zhen.

Bai Xuanyuan took advantage of the topic, stood up and took a step forward, "Is it rude for Vice General Wang to do this? Why is it hurtful?"

Wang Zhen stared at Bai Xuanyuan expressionlessly and said coldly, "Our prince has known for a long time that the princess's mother has passed away. In this case, where is the legitimate mother? If there is one, she is buried in the ground. Therefore, this betrothal gift is only

There’s only one princess you can touch!”

After speaking, he cupped his fists and bent down towards Bai Yuyue, "Please open the box, Princess. If you are dissatisfied, I will report back to the prince immediately and try my best to meet the princess's request."

Seeing such a battle, Bai Yuyue was frightened. She couldn't give him a lot of stones, could she?

After thinking about it, he stepped forward and touched a box, pointed at it and said, "Come here and help me open it."

"yes."

Wang Zhen immediately stepped forward and lifted the lid of the box. Almost at the same time, everyone present narrowed their eyes at the dazzling light reflected from the gold inside.

Bai Yuyue's eyes widened and her mouth formed the letter "O"!

This... I'm going to... have a lot of money!

"Is this all gold?"

Bai Yuyue pointed to the eighteen boxes at the back and asked Wang Zhen. Wang Zhen twitched the corner of his mouth in a rare way and shook his head, "No."

Except for Bai Yuyue, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. If it was all gold, what would it be?

"The rest are the jewelry, jade, fabrics, land deeds, and some shops that the prince randomly selected. They all belong to you, princess."

Everyone:...Do you want to give them some freedom?

The woman swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but before she could say anything, Bai Yan's voice came from behind her.

"Mother."

Bai Yuyue called out softly, her heart melted, she turned around and took two steps forward, stretched out her hand to hold the little bun in her arms, "Are you awake?"

Bai Yan nodded, stretched out his chubby little hands and rubbed his eyes, and suddenly saw Wang Zhen was there, bringing a lot of money, "Uncle, I recognize you, did daddy ask you to come?"

When Wang Zhen heard this, he couldn't help but blush, "Yes, the prince said, this is for the young master. I hope the young master likes it."

After saying that, he took a small box from behind and opened it in front of Bai Yan. For a moment, even Bai Xuanyuan was a little jealous!

That's the best deerskin! A deer can only have one deerskin, not to mention that the grades of deerskin are divided into three, six, and nine grades?

This is the best stuff! But it was made into a small rattle by the Prince Regent, and the two drumsticks used to beat the drum are the best cow bones!

"Do you like it, young master?"

Wang Zhen handed it to Bai Yan. Little Baozi thought about it and took it happily. He grinned, showing his small millet teeth, "Is daddy going to marry mommy?"

"yes."

He didn't expect a child to understand this, Wang Zhen couldn't help but be a little surprised. Bai Yan lowered his eyes and glanced at Bai Yuyue who was holding him, pretending to smile innocently, "Then Yan'er can sleep with his father and mother every day.

Already?"

Bai Yuyue:......

What a cheat!

"Haha, um, Yan'er, you go play with sister Cui'er first, mother has something else to do."

After saying that, he quickly dismissed the little guy. Seeing the child walking further and further away, Bai Yuyue took a step forward and glanced at the salivating eldest lady and others, "Take these to my yard and send them with the dowry tomorrow."

To the Regent's Palace."

"yes."

Wang Zhen waved his hand, and the people behind him immediately greeted him. However, when he heard about the dowry, the eldest lady's breath froze and she turned to look at Bai Xuanyuan. The two of them were slightly flustered.

According to the regent's idea, the wedding will be held in seven days. However, after Bai Yuyue's mother got married, all the dowry was squandered by them. How could there be Bai Yuyue's share?

However, when Bai Yuyue said such words in front of Wang Zhen today, she must have wanted to take it back. In this way...

When Wang Zhen and others went back to resume their duties, Bai Yuyue was rarely left in the lobby. The servants were screened away. Bai Xuanyuan and the eldest lady were sitting in the seats, staring at Bai Yuyue condescendingly.

"The betrothal gift should be kept by the Imperial Prefect's Office, why should it be sent back?"

Bai Xuanyuan said this shamelessly, his face neither red nor white. He didn't think it was shameful to ask for a betrothal gift for his daughter. Bai Yuyue was shocked.

"Why don't you send it back? The prince also said just now that the betrothal gift is either for my mother to keep, or for me to keep it myself. What? Does dad plan to keep it and bury it for my mother?"

"You!" Bai Xuanyuan's beard curled up angrily. He was about to get angry, but the eldest lady immediately stopped him. She also showed the wound that she had just bandaged, "Yue'er, no matter how bad you are, you are still a member of the Imperial Master's Office.

If all the betrothal gifts are sent back, wouldn’t that be a slap in the face of our Imperial Master’s Office?”

"Slap in the face? Okay, if that's the case, then please ask the eldest lady and father to take out all the twelve boxes of dowry that my mother brought with her at that time. How about I keep all these eighteen boxes?"

The eldest lady choked, her face turned pale, and she turned to look at Bai Xuanyuan.

Already unable to bear it any longer, he stood up and pointed at Bai Yuyue's nose shamelessly, yelling, "Your mother's dowry has been spent long ago, otherwise you will eat and drink whatever you want?"

"Oh? I didn't expect that such a huge Imperial Preceptor's Office doesn't have the money to get their daughter married? That's great, then my daughter will just carry these betrothal gifts on the sedan chair, and it won't be me who is embarrassed."

Bai Yuyue spread her hands indifferently.

When a daughter is married in the Imperial Prefecture, she must be accompanied by a dowry. Otherwise, people will only say that she is treated differently, not to mention the vivid example of Bai Luoluo?

"You! You! You rebellious girl!"

"Father, please think carefully before speaking. Also, my daughter will take back even a piece of this betrothal gift. She doesn't want to be short-changed when she sees you again."

After saying that, the woman waved her sleeves and turned around to leave, showing no nostalgia for the Imperial Master's Mansion!

"Master, what should we do?"

The eldest lady is a woman with very short-sightedness. Who knows how to deal with this kind of thing? She stared at Bai Xuanyuan helplessly.

"If those dowries can enter the Imperial Master's Mansion, our family will not have to worry about food and clothing."

"I know."

Bai Xuanyuan responded with a livid expression, but could not think of a way to deal with it.

When the eldest lady saw this, she actually started crying, as if those things were taken away from her.

"Oh! Master, even if you don't think about others, you still have to think about Zhenzhen. It's time for her to get married soon. Is it possible that she doesn't even have a dowry?"

The daily expenses in the Imperial Master's Mansion are extremely high, even eating requires dozens of taels of silver. The reason why he can survive until now is because Bai Xuanyuan accepted bribes from many people.
