Lord Liu and his son, as well as Xie Junru, were summoned by the Emperor to the Imperial Study, and they were still guessing what was going on.

When they saw Zheng Sisi at the door of the imperial study, they were stunned and wondered what she was doing here. Bad thoughts came to their minds, and the three of them looked at each other and could only continue to stand at the door waiting to be summoned.

Zheng Sisi entered the imperial study, not daring to look up. After Eunuch Mu stood still, she knelt down and kowtowed to pay her respects to the Emperor and the Empress.

Emperor Yongshun said: "Stand up!"

After Zheng Sisi got up, he said, "Raise your head and answer."

Zheng Sisi replied: "I don't dare."

Emperor Yongshun laughed angrily: "You dare to stop the emperor in the street to complain, what else do you dare not do? Raise your head, I allow it."

Zheng Sisi knelt again and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

Then he looked up and saw the emperor sitting behind a large desk with writing brushes, inkstones, and paper on it. This was where the emperor worked. The room was decorated in a magnificent style.

She glanced to the side again. In addition to the Queen, there were three young men sitting there. One of them looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before. Before Zheng Sisi could finish her look, the Emperor at the seat spoke.

Emperor Yongshun said: "What is your purpose in suing these two families?"

Zheng Sisi hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, I was forced to do this. Now I am homeless. I would like to ask Your Majesty to help me get back my dowry and the dowry my mother left for me."

Emperor Yongshun frowned and said, "You can just go to the Marquis' Mansion to get your own dowry back. Why don't they give it to you?"

Zheng Sisi: "Prince Liu said that he had given a betrothal gift and needed to return the betrothal gift before returning the dowry. And my dowry was not as much as the betrothal gift, so they just kicked me out."

Emperor Yongshun: "What about the betrothal gifts? Where is it?"

Zheng Sisi: "I don't know, I've never seen it, everything was arranged by my stepmother Fang."

Emperor Yongshun was unhappy. Fang was so short-sighted, but Xie Junru didn't do anything about it?

Emperor Yongshun asked again: "What about your mother's dowry?"

Zheng Sisi said, "Your Majesty, when my mother Zheng got married, everyone saw how much dowry the Duke of Zheng's Mansion took. But after my mother passed away, my father said that I was too young to take care of it, so he gave my mother's dowry to my stepmother Fang to help take care of it. When I got married, my mother's dowry was not given to me. When I went back to ask for it, they said that my mother had used it up when she was sick, and they only gave me 100 taels of silver notes to live on."

Zheng Sisi knelt down and bowed to the emperor, saying, "Your Majesty, please make the decision for me, seek justice for my mother, and seek justice for the love that Duke Zheng and his wife have for their daughter."

Emperor Yongshun and the Empress looked at each other and cursed Xie Junru in their hearts, calling him a short-sighted bastard.

Emperor Yongshun said: "I need to check this matter and verify it with several parties involved."

At this time, the man sitting at the end stood up, bowed to the emperor and said, "Father, I was also there when Miss Xie said that. Miss Xie only took a small bag when she left the mansion that day. Later, at the door of the Xie mansion, it was just as Miss Xie said, she only took 100 taels of silver notes. Mr. Xie said he had spent the rest. There were many people watching at the time, and they can all testify to this."

After the Third Prince Sheng Zhen finished speaking, Zheng Sisi thought, isn't this the person who saw her slapping her butt at the last moment? Zheng Sisi was embarrassed again.

Emperor Yongshun became interested: "Zhen'er was there at the time."

The Third Prince Sheng Zhen said, "This was the first time I left the palace after recovering from my injuries. Master Zhong and I happened to meet Miss Xie returning home, so we followed her to witness it."

Emperor Yongshun pondered for a moment and said, "Xiao Muzi, let them all come in."
