Filing? Su Zhenguo's face changed and he looked at him with dark eyes. Rich and noble girls did file for filing when they got married, but they were very few. I didn't expect that Duke Xue Guo didn't trust him so much back then.
"Master Wu, please take out the records from that year and compare them!" The fierce man now wanted to get back what belonged to his deceased daughter.
Unexpectedly, even people from Shuntian Mansion came, and their faces changed from red to white, to white to black, and the colors were very exciting.
Su Yining didn't expect her grandfather to be so capable. She was not from this era, so she forgot about the record. According to her method, there might be a lot of wrangling.
Yan Min looked like he was about to faint. After so many years, half of Xue Zixin's dowry had been consumed, and what was left was the shop and some less important fabrics.
"Su Zhenguo, when my daughter died, you personally promised that all her dowry would be sealed and preserved, and no one could touch it. It must be in good condition now, right?"
Xue Hu tried his best to suppress his anger. He was here to solve the problem today. He couldn't be angry. He couldn't be angry... But he was still so damn angry. He really wanted to kill this couple.
At this time, Su Zhenguo once again used the blame-shifting method and said to Yan: "You have been taking care of Zixin's dowry. You can take them there. I'm sleepy and need to take a nap."
"..." Mrs. Yan's eyes were as wide as copper bells. She was babbling and wanted to curse him, but she had no words to say, because she was indeed taking care of those things, but they were all with his tacit approval.
How could Xue Zixin's dowry be misappropriated without his acquiescence?
"Yan Min, what are you hesitating about?" Su Yining saw that she was guilty, with a strange smile on her face. It would be really unreasonable to treat her for so many years without giving her anything.
Just last night...she paid a visit to the Duke's Mansion. At this time, the guards were at their most lax, and it was like searching for something in a bag for her.
She could only force herself to take Su Yining and others to the warehouse. The seal that was affixed back then had already fallen off and was no longer visible.
Xue Zixin's dowry was indeed so rich that it took three warehouses to store it before she could put it down. For this reason, Su Zhenguo even built her own warehouse specially for her.
"Creak..." After the old warehouse door was opened, everyone was stunned.
"???" Ms. Yan thought there was something wrong with her eyes. This...how could it be possible?
Then she went to open the second and third warehouses and found that there was nothing inside, but there was one thing. There was a frightened mouse in the empty warehouse.
The little gray-black mouse was frightened by the sudden opening of the door. It held its little hands and looked panicked. It screamed "Zhi Zhi" twice and slipped into the mouse hole.
"Are you taking us to see the mice?" The warehouse was so clean that it seemed as if nothing had ever been left. Su Yining had specially cleaned it. She was so kind that she even swept the floor.
"Pfft!" Some government officials behind them couldn't help laughing, thinking that Mrs. Yan is really brave. She is still pretending to be in such a situation. No matter how much she pretends, she still has to pay back. I really don't know what she is.
What do you think?
After serving as an official for so many years, there are not many people who have blatantly deducted the dowry from their first wife, and he is also a great person.
"No, it's not! They were indeed placed in the warehouse, but now they are gone..." Yan was stunned for a moment before she immediately realized what she was doing. She shouted, "Mr. Wu, I want to report the crime, I want to report the crime."
Pulling Wu Xing's arm and dragging him to the door of the warehouse, she said loudly: "Look, this place is empty, the dowry has been stolen, your Shuntian Mansion is going to catch the thief!" She meant every word.
"Oh, you mean the robbers even stole the shelves? Shunbei was cleaning up for you? Then he locked the door and left?"
Su Yining suddenly interjected, with a joking tone in his tone, but there was no smile in his eyes.
"It's none of my business. Catching the thief is Shuntian Mansion's business!" In other people's eyes, she was just acting like a rogue. If she didn't throw her away earlier, she'd throw her away now?
"Ouch, what are you doing!" Su Yining suddenly pulled out the hairpin from her head, stared at her coldly, and lightly opened her red lips: "If I'm not wrong, this is the exquisite Eight Treasure Hairpin that my mother once brought.
?”
She held the gorgeous hairpin in her hand. This hairpin was a tribute from Nan Qing back then. Xue Hu shamelessly exchanged it with the emperor for his military exploits. He still remembered it after all these years.
Tears welled up in his eyes when he saw the hairpin, and the joy of the carefree little girl after getting the hairpin appeared in front of his eyes. Everything in the past appeared before his eyes, as if time had not passed.
He tremblingly took the hairpin and held it in his arms distressedly... He then swallowed: "My daughter..."
Mrs. Yan liked this hairpin very much, so she put it on her head the day after Xue Zixin was buried. She has worn it every day for so many years.
"You, you are talking nonsense. I asked someone to make this hairpin, why did it become your mother's!" A trace of panic flashed in his eyes.
"Oh, really? This hairpin was a tribute from Nan Qing back then. It is still recorded in the palace. Why don't we go check it out?"
Su Yining expected that the Yan family would not enter the palace. Their family had been rejected by the emperor, and if they did, they might really have to lose their rank.
Seeing that Yan was speechless, she continued: "Ah, by the way, I remember that the crabapple jelly stone banana leaf screen in Su Yongfei's room was also my mother's dowry, right?"
"And the painting in Su Zhenguo's room, too, right?"
"The same goes for the painted cloisonné vase in your room, right?"
"That's enough!" Yan yelled and panted heavily. She didn't expect this lunatic to remember so many things. How could she know so many treasures?
Xue Hu was just a reckless man who didn't understand those literary things, so except for gold and silver, he would marry Xue Zixin with everything he liked. He even exchanged his military exploits for a lot of these treasures, not to mention the trophies on the battlefield.
Otherwise, why would the emperor be so reassured about him? A man who only cares about his family does not care about his military exploits. Only such a man can be used by the emperor with confidence. He still has military power at the age of sixty.
"What? You can't stand it anymore? I advise you to hand over all the dowry honestly, and nothing will happen to us. If you don't hand it over... then you have to be careful about making money and losing your life!"
This was not a threat. Wu Xing also looked at her in shock. He didn't know when she started to become more and more powerful, and the weak strength before became less and less.
"Xiao Ning, you can't do anything stupid..." Xue Hu was afraid that she would do something patricide, so he hurriedly tried to dissuade her. He could only do these things!
A fierce look appeared on his face, and the evil aura crawling out of the sea of blood from the corpse mountain rushed towards his face. It was as if he could see the undead wailing around him, and the heads of his defeated generals were trampled under his feet.
