Father Shen's eyes were gloomy. Although he didn't want to admit it, he knew that what Mother Shen said was true.

This kind of thing, even if it happened to the Shen family before, the government might not care, let alone now, they just can't swallow this anger.

They were actually taken away by a lowly concubine.

Even if it was just his wife's private vault, it would be a shame for the Shen family.

At this time, Shen Wanqing's panicked shouting came from outside. Shen's father felt a headache and turned away.

"father."

Shen Wanqing bowed to Mr. Shen who was leaving.

Father Shen nodded slightly and walked away with a grim look on his face.

Shen Wanqing didn't care about Shen's father's mood and hurried into the house holding up her skirt.

"Mother, mother, the servants are saying that Lu Wan Ning stole your private vault. Is that true?"

Mother Shen felt as if her already wounded heart was torn apart again by Shen Wanqing's words, leaving it bloody.

She was like a puppet without a soul, leaning against the bed with no desire to live.

Shen Wanqing understood what was going on without her mother's answer. Her pupils suddenly shrank and she asked nervously, "Where is my dowry? Where is the dowry you prepared for me?"

Her mother had a lot of private treasury, and in fact she had prepared a generous dowry for her.

Mother Shen closed her eyes and shook her head.

Lu Wanning couldn't take the large jewelry or head ornaments, but she suffered heavy losses in just that one night and was heartbroken.

Shen Wanqing only felt a "buzzing" sound in her head, as if she was struck by lightning, and she was stunned.

Gone!

Her dowry is gone!

After a moment of silence in the room, a miserable cry suddenly broke out, mixed with curses directed at Lu Wanning.

When Gu Jinse heard about this, she laughed unkindly, gloating: "Oh, she told her to flatter Lu Wanning, now she has shot herself in the foot."

Hanyu echoed with a look of sarcasm: "She deserves it. If she had dealt with that bitch earlier, this wouldn't have happened."

"The old man has a lot of good things in his hands, but now he's probably going to lose them all."

"I heard that the fourth young lady is making a fuss in the mansion. Madam had originally prepared a generous dowry for her in her private treasury, but now there is not much left." Han Yu said with a smile.

Even though the Shen family still had income from farms and shops, Shen Wanqing had reached marriageable age and would not be able to come up with a decent dowry in such a short period of time.

Gu Jinse sneered. When she first married into the Shen family, Shen Wanqing tried to please her in every way because Gu Zhiyin was the Princess of Ming County. But ever since she offended Concubine De, Shen Wanqing and her mother looked down on her. Only when she became pregnant did Shen's mother change her attitude.

Shen Wanqing has always been in a bad mood.

Now that the Shen family has collapsed and her dowry has been stolen, seeing Shen Wanqing so unlucky, Gu Jinse just felt that she had let out a gust of anger.

"It's just that Lu Wan Ning, that little bitch, got a bargain. My mother-in-law's private vault is enough for her to live a life of luxury for the rest of her life."

She didn't get much good stuff from Shen's mother.

Thinking of this, Gu Jinse felt jealous.

Haitang said, "Mrs. Shen has suffered a heavy loss. She will not let Madam Lu go. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even if the Shen family is poor, they are still more powerful than an orphan like her. Besides, she brought so much silver with her on the road. Sooner or later, she will be discovered. She is alone and may not be able to enjoy a good life."

Her words successfully pleased Gu Jinse.

"That makes sense. Go talk to mother and ask her to ask someone to look for her privately. If we can find Lu Wanning, all the money in her hands will be ours." Gu Jinse ordered with a smile.

Haitang Fushen responded, "Yes."
