Traveling through the Poisonous Concubine

In twenty days, Yun Yuxi will be getting married. Liu has no intention of preparing a dowry. Mu Wanqing left the dowry, and she can deny it as long as Yun Yuxi doesn't have a list. However, since the Prime Minister has given the order, she still has to save face.

Liu's mood swings made the maid who served her very anxious, so she said, "Madam, you are worried about the second young lady's dowry. I think this is not a difficult task."

"Tell me, the good things in this mansion are left by me for Yan'er. The second young lady's marriage must be done with dignity. Don't even think about asking me to take out Mu Wanqing's dowry from the storehouse?" Liu said viciously.

"Madam, we can go to the shop and buy some counterfeits and mix them with some of the real ones. I know there is a shop in Kyoto that specializes in selling high-end imitations. If you are not an expert, you can't tell the difference. It's good enough to be mistaken for the real thing. But Madam can't do this in person. It's best to let the Prime Minister's people do it. Even if something goes wrong, Madam can get away with it."

"I will go and find out more about the master first. We were married when we were young, so we know each other quite well. The master may not be willing to give up Mu Wanqing's dowry. I have to convince the master about this. Even if the truth is revealed, he will deny it to death for the sake of his face. Protect the prime minister's mansion."

In Qiuyun Pavilion, Liu cooked personally and made the food that the Prime Minister liked, and also took out her collection of fine wines. Liu dressed up carefully, and her well-maintained face and exquisite makeup made her look more charming and elegant, but her eyes were full of calculations, and she looked a bit mean overall.

"Invite the master to come for dinner, and tell him that I personally cooked his favorite sweet and sour fish." Liu instructed the maid.

Not long after, the Prime Minister arrived. Looking at the table full of his favorite food, and then looking at Liu, he actually felt that with a wife like this, what else could a husband ask for?

Liu gently held the Prime Minister's hand and said, "My husband, please try it. It is delicious. I made it myself." The Prime Minister smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Liu'er. Come and sit down and have dinner with me." Liu glanced at the maidservant who was serving her and she left tactfully.

After having enough wine and food, Liu said softly, "Master, I have something to discuss with you. I beg you not to offend me. I have been very busy with Yu's dowry recently, but you also know the situation in our house.

"Liu'er, you can speak freely. You and I are husband and wife. There is nothing we cannot tell each other." The prime minister said gently. His big hands pinched Liu's body, making her gasp for air.

"Master, I'll be frank. In our mansion, only Mu Wanqing left behind a dowry that is worth giving away. I can't bear to give it to Yu girl, and want to leave it to Ruyan. After all, our daughter will be the most noble woman in this world. No matter how respectful the Regent is, he can't compare to you future gentlemen. Our daughter has been brought up to be the queen since she was young, so naturally the good things should be left to them."

"The one who knows me best is Liu'er. I have been planning for many years to climb to my current position. That girl Yu is undisciplined, but if I don't give her the dowry, I can't tell the regent. If the emperor blames me, I can't bear it. I have never placed my hopes on that girl."

"Master, I have a way. Master, I will tell you everything. I hope you won't be angry. Whether it succeeds or not is up to you to decide."

"Just say it."

"Master, I heard there is a shop in Kyoto. The items inside are so exquisite that they are indistinguishable from the real ones. I want to..."

"Liu'er, let the housekeeper handle this matter. Mu Wanqing's dowry must not be handed over. Do not let the news leak out. Otherwise, you will lose many heads."

Liu leaned on the prime minister contentedly, she didn't expect this to be so easy. It seems that the master has greater ambitions.

A pair of bastards in cahoots.

It’s a pity that the couple made the wrong calculation.
