Everyone looked at the furious Minister Yu, then looked at the standing mother and daughter Li, and couldn't help but shake their heads in their hearts.

Only today did I discover what kind of people these two people are. On one hand, they use the dowry and belongings of the late lady, and on the other hand, they treat the late lady's daughter harshly.

Yu Tinglin’s face froze. How come... these things are also theirs?

I took so many things from Yu Tingwan that I couldn't tell them apart anymore. I was very careful when I went out today, but I still wore these things and was discovered by this maid!

Everyone waited for the butler to take out all the things, and after watching the maid count them again, they thought the matter was over.

Even Minister Yu thought so. He stared at Yu Tingwan with gloomy eyes, as if the person he saw was not his daughter, but an enemy.

"Now, are you satisfied?"

Yu Tingwan looked at him and sneered in his heart, "Ben..."

Before he could finish his words, the sound of horse hooves and shouts came from the side. Yu Tingwan shut up instantly, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Of course I’m not satisfied, the matter is not over yet!

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of the way!"

Leading the group was a constable, shouting and clearing the way. The man coming from behind was wearing a scarlet official robe and an official hat, and it seemed that he was of a fairly low rank.

After arriving in the inner circle surrounded by the crowd, he took a look at the boxes on the ground. He had no doubts about the scene at all, because before he came, his subordinates had already told him what had happened here.

No, it should be said that now the whole capital has heard that Prince Chen's wife was refused entry when she returned home!

He first bowed to Prince Hong, then bowed to Yu Tingwan, "I am Xu Fulai, the Junior Official of the Dali Temple. I am honored to meet Prince Hong and the Princess of Chen."

"No need to be polite." Prince Hong looked at him, somewhat puzzled by his sudden arrival. "Why are you here, Shao Qing?"

"A thief has appeared in the capital, and I am here to investigate."

This puzzled everyone. Why did the thief come to the Shangshu Mansion to verify? Could it be related to the Shangshu Mansion?

Unexpectedly, the Dali Temple Shaoqing bowed to Yu Shangshu and said:

"Sir, I received a report from my subordinates today that a man with suspicious behavior was about to leave the city in a carriage this morning. The gatekeepers thought he was suspicious and detained him. They found several boxes in his carriage, which contained a lot of gold and silver."

"When he was arrested, this man said he was the owner of the Treasure Pavilion."

Yu Shangshu frowned. Treasure Pavilion, isn't that Jiang Wanyun's dowry? What are you talking about?

Then he interrupted the Dali Temple Shaoqing's words directly, without noticing the sudden change in Li's expression when he heard the name of the treasure pavilion owner.

"Xu Shaoqing, the Treasure Pavilion now belongs to Princess Yu...Chen. You should talk to her."

Li: "Master..."

Xu Fulai paused for a moment, then turned around and faced Yu Tingwan.

"Princess Chen, because there are too many valuables in this man's carriage, we dare not let him go rashly. Excuse me, did you let this shopkeeper leave?"

But Yu Tingwan shook her head slightly, "Your Excellency Shaoqing, you don't know that I just asked for my mother's dowry back, and I was still counting it before you came. This shop... I haven't sent anyone to check it yet."

"I just don't know why the shopkeeper took so many things away? Was he fired before?"

Xu Fulai: "I don't know, but the things in this carriage are all kinds of precious ornaments sold in the Treasure Pavilion before, and there is a lot of money among them, and..."

Xu Fulai looked at Yu Tingwan seriously and said, "This man claimed to be the Shangshu Madam's cousin, so I didn't dare to make a decision on my own, so I brought people here."

These words made Yu Tingwan frown. After thinking carefully for a moment, he said:

"But sir, my mother's cousin... uh, I've never heard of anyone being the shopkeeper in my mother's shop? Is it Lan Yue?"

As if she was not sure, Yu Tingwan turned around and asked Lan Yue, only to see Lan Yue also shook her head, "I have never heard the old master mention it either."

"I don't know if I can let this person come over. I really can't remember which uncle is the shopkeeper in the shop. If it is true, it is my fault as a junior."

Xu Shaoqing waved to the constable nearby, and a middle-aged man with messy hair came over.

The man was still motionless at first, but when he saw the people standing in the Shangshu Mansion, he immediately began to struggle, shouting:

"Cousin, cousin! Save my cousin, hurry up and tell these people, tell them that they can't touch me, my cousin is the wife of the Shangshu, how dare they touch me!"

The crowd was suddenly in an uproar. Cousin? The minister's wife?

Yu Tinglin's expression also changed. She didn't care about anything else and wanted to distance herself from the matter.

"This person..."

When Lan Yue heard her speak, she immediately stepped forward, slapped Shopkeeper Li, and shouted:

"How dare you! My wife passed away many years ago, how can I allow you to make random comments here!"

The sound was too loud, and Yu Tinglin's humming was immediately drowned out. Only Prince Hong, who was close to her, glanced at her.

The man was stunned by the sudden slap, and then he shouted at Lan Yue without realizing the current situation.

"What are you talking about? Be careful or my cousin will beat you to death!"

"Who is your cousin?"

This question was asked out of the blue and the man immediately responded.

"My cousin is Li Yueniang, the wife of the Minister of Revenue, and my niece is Yu Tinglin, the most beautiful woman in the capital. If you mess with me, they will not let you go!"

Now everyone understood that this man was the cousin of the concubine and the uncle of the second lady!

But this also made everyone clearly understand how much this concubine and her daughter wanted the position of Shangshu's wife and the throne of the legitimate wife.

One claimed to be the wife of a minister, and the other even changed the name of her courtyard to Shangnu Pavilion, not caring whether she would be exposed or not!

Yu Tingwan looked at this man and shook his head at Xu Fulai:

"Sir Xu, I really don't know this person. Besides, the owner of the Treasure Pavilion was not this person. I guess I should ask the concubine what's going on."

In fact, they all knew what was going on without asking, but they didn't expect that this concubine would be so greedy and actually wanted her cousin to take the things in the shop and leave Kyoto.

This kind of thing is something that aristocratic families would never do. Thinking that the old lady's maiden name in this mansion also seemed to be surnamed Li, everyone immediately had an expression of "I know where this comes from".

Staring at the people in the Shangshu Mansion made her scalp tingle. Seeing this, Li began to shirk responsibility in panic.

"No, Madam Ben... No, I don't know this person at all, I don't know him!"

Then she looked at Yu Shangshu beside her, "Master, I really don't know him, really!"

"Cousin, what are you talking about? I'm your cousin! It's me! Li Dafu! How can you say you don't know me!"

Seeing this, Yu Tinglin also hurriedly shook his head, saying that he did not know this person, and walked in front of Xu Shaoqing and saluted:

"Sir, my mother and I do not know this man. Please arrest him immediately. He not only stole the property of the store, but also tried to get close to important officials in the court. He deserves death. Sir Xu, please make a decision for my daughter."

After saying this, Yu Tinglin looked at Xu Fulai with tears in her eyes.

When she looked up, she realized that the man didn't even look at her and even took a step back!

Damn it! Damn these people. What the hell is going on? Why don’t these people react to her?

Looking in the direction of the Shaoqing's gaze in front of him, hatred welled up in Yu Tinglin's eyes, and his face became ferocious for a moment.

Yu Tingwan! It's her again!

"Now the Treasure Pavilion is owned by Princess Chen. Please let Princess Chen make the final decision on this matter."
