But he was not willing to be coerced by "Shen Wan" and honestly followed her instructions.
not to mention.
Before the old marquis fell into coma, he pulled him and warned him repeatedly: "You must not give the jade bracelet to Shen Wan! The Shen family must keep their engagement with the Zhenbei Hou Mansion. No matter what method is used... you must If you hold Shen Wan back, you can't break off the engagement!"
After saying that, Shen Zhijiang agreed.
The old Marquis was relieved and passed out, but he still hasn't woken up.
Shen Zhijiang did not dare to disobey the old Marquis' order. He was in a dilemma and could only stare at "Shen Wan" with bloodshot eyes.
Xiao Lingyue said calmly: "I don't have time to waste with you. Should I give it or not?"
Aunt Hua screamed: "Master, what are you still hesitating about?"
Shen Zhijiang's cheek muscles twitched, and the veins on his forehead twitched, but in the end, his selfishness to protect his son prevailed.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I promise you! Hand over the antidote!"
Aunt Hua breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Lingyue sneered: "What's the hurry? We must meet my conditions first and then talk about it."
Shen Zhijiang had no choice but to call the housekeeper and give him the key to the warehouse that was kept close to him: "Go and get the jade bracelet on the last shelf in the warehouse."
Xiao Lingyue reminded: "There is also my biological mother's dowry, don't forget it."
This was something that belonged to "Shen Wan". Although she herself had given up hope on it, Xiao Lingyue wouldn't mind getting it back for her now that she had the chance.
She will not touch this dowry.
If there is a chance to see the real Shen Wan again in the future, Xiao Lingyue plans to return it to her.
It can be regarded as a small thank you for borrowing the identity of "Shen Wan".
Xiao Lingyue didn't take the dowry seriously, but Shen Zhijiang and Aunt Hua felt like their hearts were bleeding.
"Shen Wan's" biological mother was also from a wealthy family back then. Her natal family later fell into disrepair, but her dowry back then was quite large. It had been secretly taken away by the Shen family for many years. To take it out now is as painful as cutting flesh and bleeding.
But Shen Zhijiang didn't dare to disobey him, so he felt aggrieved and ordered the housekeeper.
The housekeeper took the people away with a cold sweat on his face.
The atmosphere in the hall was condensed.
No one spoke.
About a quarter of an hour later, the housekeeper personally held a brocade box, and a dozen servants behind him carried several large boxes of things into the hall.
"Sir, all the dowry left by the late wife is here, and the others... are gone." The housekeeper reported to Shen Zhijiang tremblingly, but he was actually telling Xiao Lingyue.
Xiao Lingyue said: "Why is it gone?"
Aunt Hua felt so guilty that she dared not speak.
"Shen Wan's" biological mother's dowry contained many valuable items that she had secretly misappropriated.
Some of them were used by themselves, and some were put away to prepare for Shen Yuting's dowry in the future. The only things left in the warehouse were some things that were difficult to use.
Shen Zhijiang also knew this very well. He said impatiently: "Your mother has been married into the Shen family for many years. Doesn't she have to pay for food, drinks and expenses? Of course it has to be deducted from her dowry. There is only so much left."
Xiao Lingyue raised the corners of her lips sarcastically, not arguing with him: "Open the box and show it to me."
The butler quickly opened the box.
A burst of dust flew up, and Xiao Lingyue took a closer look.
There are five large boxes in total, two of which contain some decorative items, including jade, wood carvings, and porcelain.
The quality is relatively old, and they don't look very valuable.
In the other three boxes. Popular "" This chapter has been completed!
