Chapter 33 Asking for the dowry back
The summoned people entered the imperial study, paid their respects to the emperor, the empress and several princes, and then stood in the middle looking at Zheng Sisi.
Zheng Sisi just stood there respectfully, because she didn't know anyone except the people from the Marquis' Mansion and the Xie Mansion.
The emperor asked them to stand for a while before he said, "Lord Liu, Xie Yunmei sued your son for divorcing her but refusing to return her dowry. Is this true?"
When Lord Liu heard this, he knew that it was not a good thing, but he still said, "My son is immature and reckless. He did not handle the divorce properly. I will strengthen his discipline when I return. Please forgive my son's ignorance, Your Majesty."
Lord Liu looked at Zheng Sisi and said, "As for Miss Xie's dowry, since we have already divorced, there is no point in keeping it. I will go back and have someone count it and return it to Miss Xie tomorrow."
Emperor Yongshun nodded, and was quite satisfied with Lord Liu's understanding. He then said, "But Miss Xie said that you gave a betrothal gift..."
Lord Liu kicked his son, making him kneel on the ground. Then he bowed and said, "Your Majesty, it was my son who made trouble. The betrothal gift will be given to Miss Xie as compensation for her loss of reputation."
Emperor Yongshun turned around and asked Zheng Sisi: "Thank you, girl. Are you satisfied?"
Zheng Sisi was terrified and said quickly, "Your Majesty, please make the decision."
"Hmm," Emperor Yongshun said to Lord Liu, "Just as you said just now, you go back and count the items and return them to Miss Xie tomorrow. You can leave now."
Lord Liu bowed quickly and said, "Thank you, my Lord, for your grace." Then he left the imperial study with his son.
Zheng Sisi didn't react much to asking for her dowry back because it was too shabby and there was nothing to expect.
After the two men left, Emperor Yongshun said to Xie Junru again: "My dear Xie, I heard that you broke off the engagement with this girl."
Xie Junru was terrified: "Your Majesty, my daughter has been raised in the countryside since she was young. It is because I did not teach her well that she is now acting up. Please punish her. I will take her back and teach her carefully in the future."
Emperor Yongshun said to Zheng Sisi again, "Are you willing to go back again?"
Zheng Sisi said firmly: "No!"
Xie Junru wanted to glare at Xie Yunmei to death, as she dared to talk nonsense in front of the emperor.
The emperor thought of what Master Fakong said, that women should help solve problems when they encounter difficulties. It was almost dark, and he only met her today. Could she really be a lucky star? He must help her.
After thinking for a while, he decided that it didn't matter if it was true or not, it wouldn't hurt to help her, so he said, "You can break off the relationship if you want, but have you thought about how you are going to live in the future."
When Zheng Sisi heard this, she was delighted and immediately knelt down and said, "I beg the emperor to allow me to establish a female household."
The emperor and everyone else were surprised and stared at Zheng Sisi with wide eyes.
Zheng Sisi: “Yes.”
Emperor Yongshun said to the two ministers, "What do you think, my dear ministers? Is there a precedent for establishing a female household in our dynasty?"
Minister Zhong of the Ministry of Revenue stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, there is no precedent for establishing a household for women in our dynasty. Even for men, there are conditions for setting up a household. They must first buy a house and land before they can settle down."
Emperor Yongshun nodded and said to Zheng Sisi, "You heard it too. Do we still need to sever the marriage and establish a household?"
Zheng Sisi said: "Your Majesty, I would like to use the dowry my mother left me to buy you a house and a piece of land. I hope Your Majesty will agree to this."
"Hey!" Emperor Yongshun laughed at Zheng Sisi's shamelessness. He pointed at Zheng Sisi and said to several ministers, "Did you hear that? This girl used me as a pawn and asked me to collect the debt from Minister Xie."
Everyone looked at Xie Junru, who almost fainted from fear. He knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Your Majesty, please have mercy on me."
