171: Covet her dowry(1/2)
Today is Shen Qingxi's big day. The entire Duke's Mansion is decorated. Shen Qingxi got up early and sat in front of the dressing table to wait.
As soon as Su Huairou entered the door, she saw Shen Qingxi smiling charmingly in the mirror.
"Groom the second lady."
Su Huairou's eyes flashed with a hint of displeasure.
In the past, Shen Qingxi was at least dignified, but now she is becoming more and more unreserved.
Su Huairou glanced at the servants standing in a row, her eyes full of arrogance.
"Su Huairou, after today I will be Princess Liang, and you will have to kneel to me when you return.
Don't think that your life will be peaceful now that Shen Yunhe is back."
Shen Qingxi hated Su Huairou so much that she gritted her teeth!
Why does this damn old thing live such a prosperous life? Even when she was raising a baby, she still came to her door to tell her the rules!
Who wants to listen to those old broken rules?
"If the second young lady wants to show off her power, she has to wait until the second young lady gets married successfully. It won't be too late to show off when she comes back."
Su Huairou didn't accept Shen Qingxi's tricks at all.
She naturally hopes that the daughter of the Shen family will marry well.
It's just a pity that Aunt Meng, the husband and son-in-law that the mother and daughter had calculated carefully, is not a good person!
Su Huairou's voice was soft, but Shen Qingxi felt a cold threat.
"What are you waiting for! Don't waste time dressing up the second lady."
Su Huairou walked slowly to the table and sat down facing the door.
Shen Qingxi could see Su Huairou clearly through the bronze mirror.
She gritted her teeth and let her servants dress her up. After more than an hour of tinkering, she was finally ready.
"Come here, bring me the second lady's dowry list."
Su Huairou stood up, and the servant held a plate, which was covered with bright red silk. On the silk was a book with a bright red cover.
Shen Qingxi was very concerned in her heart, her dowry was prepared by Su Huairou!
Su Huairou always hated her, so how could she prepare a large dowry for her?
She hated her mother for being incompetent, and she even hated the Meng family for exploiting her mother over and over again!
Uncle, he took so much money from the Duke's palace, but he was not willing to add a dowry to her!
"Second Miss?"
The servant called out suspiciously, and the second lady stood in front of her in a daze for a while.
Shen Qingxi finally came back to her senses, picked up the book and started reading.
"These dowries are worthy of your status as the second young lady of the Duke's palace, and they won't bring down your face!"
Although your family has done too many evil things, as the wife of the royal family, I do not want to lose the face of the Duke's mansion.
Naturally, I won't be harsh on you when it comes to dowry.
However, Aunt Meng has subsidized the Meng family too much, and the Duke's government has been losing money year after year, so there is no way to help you."
The meaning behind Su Huairou's words was very clear. He almost pointed at Shen Qingxi's nose and told her that the blame lies with your pickpocketing mother.
He squandered the money of the Duke's government and squandered his daughter's dowry.
"you!"
Shen Qingxi was almost mad to death!
"Su Huairou! Don't pretend to be a good person. What kind of good thing do you think you are? If Shen Yunhe hadn't come back to save you, you would have died long ago, you know?
Who are you trying to teach me a lesson? I am Princess Liang! Can you teach me a lesson?
Some time ago, the palace rewarded me with so many good things, but you didn’t give me any of them!
Why are you here pretending to be generous?"
Shen Qingxi had been thinking about the things the emperor had gifted her. She went to beg her father to at least add some to her dowry.
She knew that it was impossible for the Duke's government to give her all those things as a dowry, but could it be okay to give her half?
Su Huairou didn’t even add a single thing!
"Shen Qingxi, I originally thought you were clear-minded, but I didn't expect you and your mother to be cut from the same mold!
What do those rewards have to do with you?
That's what the Emperor gave to King Chu and Yun He last time for his meritorious service in disaster relief!
It doesn’t even have anything to do with the Duke’s Mansion, what are you thinking about?”
Su Huairou was almost laughed out of anger. She knew that someone would care about the reward, so she quietly asked the King of Chu.
The King of Chu told the secret guards to protect those batches last time.
I didn’t expect! I really didn’t expect that Shen Qingxi would say these words openly!
With such a character, if you marry into Prince Liang's palace, you may not only not be favored by Prince Liang, but you may even bring disaster to the Duke's palace!
Shen Qingxi was so angry that she raised her hand high and wanted to slap Su Huairou!
Shen Yunhe's cold voice came from the door:
"How dare you touch my mother!"
"That's it! Bad woman, you dare to touch grandma!
See if Yaoyao doesn’t break your hand!”
Yaoyao glared at Shen Qingxi angrily. Before dawn, her mother asked her master to find her back to her house.
When she arrived, she saw a bad woman bullying her grandma!
She protects grandma, and bullying grandma is bullying her!
Yaoyao was angry. She pouted and her fleshy face wrinkled into a bun shape. She jumped up to Shen Qingxi with a kick and kicked Shen Qingxi on the calf.
"Ouch……"
Shen Qingxi lost her balance and fell to the ground.
Yaoyao also took the opportunity to pull her grandma behind her to protect her.
"Yao Yao is good, don't be angry anymore. Grandma is fine. Grandma promised Yaoyao that she would protect herself. How could she be beaten so easily?"
Su Huairou felt sorry for Yaoyao, and immediately knelt down and hugged Yaoyao into her arms.
Her Yaoyao is so considerate that she cannot be pampered enough.
"Bastard! You damn bastard, how dare you hit me?
I am Princess Liang!"
Shen Qingxi struggled to stand up. The wedding dress she was wearing was so expensive!
Being kicked by Yaoyao left a small footprint on it.
Shen Qingxi frantically dusted herself off. This was a wedding dress. If it was dirty, wouldn't she be laughed at?
"Shen Qingxi, the auspicious time has come to say goodbye to grandma."
Shen Yunhe had no intention of making a fuss with Shen Qingxi today. There were many guests on the wedding day, and it was the Duke's Mansion that was embarrassed.
"Yes, Miss Second, please don't waste time."
Bai Mudan came in with Shen Yunhe and was also helping.
As soon as Shen Qingxi heard Bai Mudan's voice, she could no longer suppress the anger in her heart.
"Damn you bitch, how dare you come to my yard!
If you hadn't seduced me, how could Daddy have neglected Mom!"
If father hadn't neglected mother and allowed Shen Yunhe and Su Huairou to take advantage of it, how could mother have ended up being abandoned?
Shen Qingxi failed to move Su Huairou, can she still not be able to move Bai Mudan?
She held up her skirt and rushed aggressively to Bai Mudan.
How can the courtesan who can be favored by Shen Yunhe be just a simple vase?
"I advise the second lady not to get angry, because the makeup on her face will look ugly if she takes it off.
Could it be that...you have to face your ferocious appearance when you want Prince Liang to pay his respects?"
Bai Mudan's two words successfully made Shen Qingxi change her face.
"Second Miss, I'm urging you."
The servants urged.
