Shen Yu was not surprised by this result.

Shen Nian was originally a lonely man. He even relied on the villagers to collect tuition fees. Even if the emperor gave him rewards after he won the third place in the imperial examination, he could never afford the daily expenses of the Shen Mansion. Didn’t you see that the servants in the mansion who had some dignity all wore silk? How luxurious!

Neither Shen nor Luo were good at business. Luo Yunmei had secretly replaced the manager of her mother's dowry shop in recent years. The new manager fooled her with a set of fake accounts and was unaware of the yearly losses. He just sold his belongings when he ran out of money.

Why is the Shen family so extravagant now? They use all her money! Damn it!

Seeing how devastated she was, Fu Yunxiu silently asked Lu Yingxing: What should we do?

He shook his head and held Shen Yu's hand on the table, "Madam, I will buy them all for you, okay?"

Buy it back? Fu Yunxiu felt that there was something wrong with his ears. What did he say? Buy it back! Bring it back!!!

Does he know what prices these treasures were auctioned for?

Whether they are willing to sell or not is another matter. The redemption price must be several times the selling price!! Is he crazy? So I, the shopkeeper Fu, worked so hard to make money in business just to please someone's wife? ?

Before Fu Yunxiu could get angry, Shen Yu opened his eyes and said, "Tomorrow at 9:00 pm, I will hold an auction in front of Prince Zhuo's mansion to sell all my dowry. I would like to invite Manager Fu from Zhenbaozhai to be there in person to be a witness. If you see any inferior items... please point them out."

Shen Yu sneered, "If I don't get angry, do you think I'm a good guy? If you want to play, play big! !

I thought that I would make a deal with Lu Yingxing to fake my own death and leave on the wedding night, and it would be good enough if I could successfully take away the fake dowry.

Later, she didn't have to leave. Her original intention was just to find out the losses. Before leaving, she would pretend to be a bandit and steal everything from the Shen Mansion.

But now... she has changed her mind. These two scumbags must be publicly executed!!

"Hiss! Sister-in-law, are you serious? Are you auctioning it on the street?" How exciting! !

Manager Fu stared at her with sparkling eyes and blinked. If he had seen what a Husky was, he would know that the dog would always have this eager expression before doing something.

Lu Yingxing raised his eyebrows, "The emperor will not let you drag Shen Nian down, and the money auctioned will also lead to impeachment." His wife had never mentioned this idea to him, but it might be difficult to achieve.

Shen Yu smiled brightly, shook his head and sighed, "His Majesty is busy with all kinds of affairs, but he still cares about the people living in the border areas. He is grateful for the hardship and coldness of life in Zhuocheng, and specially rewarded me with 10,000 taels of gold, 10,000 taels of silver, and a number of jewelry. Is this for me? No, this is the emperor's care for the people living in the border areas."

"And my father, the Minister of Revenue, followed the emperor's footsteps and repeatedly told me that after I brought these dowries to Zhuo City, I had to sell half of them to raise money to buy food. As the legitimate daughter of the Shen family who married into the Zhuo Palace, I feel grateful for the emperor's grace. How can I not contribute to the border soldiers and people of Zhuo City? So I decided... to donate it all!!"

After saying that, she smiled brightly and turned to ask Lu Yingxing, "Report to Prince Zhuo, what do you think of my new idea, Princess Zhuo?"

[Praise me, praise me, praise me quickly~~]

Looking at the smiling woman in front of him, Lu Yingxing could clearly hear his own heartbeat. Lu Junling had asked him before, what kind of woman would make his heart beat? He answered that he didn't know at that time, but now it seemed that he had the answer.

He was attracted to someone like Shen Yu. He wanted her to have eyes like Shen Yu's, a nose like Shen Yu's, a mouth like Shen Yu's. He also wanted her to be as quirky as Shen Yu, and to be as flesh and blood, full of affection and righteousness as Shen Yu.

Only a woman who looks exactly like Shen Yu can make his heart beat and is qualified to stand by his side.

"What!! Donate all? That Lord Shen would be so kind? No, no, you mean... the Emperor? He also gave Zhuocheng as a reward??!"

Fu Yunxiu finally reacted. His sister-in-law was trying to plot against the Emperor and Lord Shen!

Under the pretext of raising money to buy food for the people of Zhuocheng, and praising the emperor's reputation for benevolence and love for the people, they were placed on this commanding height, and they would not be stupid enough to jump out and refute it, but...

He turned to look at Lu Yingxing and raised his eyebrows to indicate: Why don’t you try to persuade our sister-in-law again?

Lu Yingxing also looked at her in disagreement and said worriedly, "Madam, this is too risky, and you can't use the emperor's name as a pretext, after all, the dowry is fake... When public opinion is one-sided, the emperor's power will also be questioned, and he may very well... kill you."

Fu Yunxiu nodded frantically, "Yes, sister-in-law, I know you want to force Minister Shen to take out the money, but if he really takes it out, you have to really donate it. Do you know how much money it is?!"

As the eldest son and grandson of the Fu family, Master Fu grew up in luxury. Although his stepmother and stepson were always plotting against him in secret, he got fed up with it and didn't want to go home anymore.

But he had never been treated harshly in terms of food, clothing and daily expenses. Even the dowry list that he couldn't help but envy after reading it, his sister-in-law actually donated it as she wished? ?

"It's not that serious," Shen Yu said calmly, "The dowry is not a fake, it was just replaced with a similar low-end product. For example, the blood jade bracelet was replaced with a scarlet jade bracelet. The latter still has a certain value when sold. I believe the Shen family also knows that the dowry will be sent to Prince Zhuo's Mansion, so they dare not be too blatant."

"And think about it from another perspective. Normally, I might not get even a penny back. Instead of leaving it to the two vampires in the Shen Mansion, it would be better to donate it to Zhuocheng as a contribution. After all, Your Majesty promised to take me in, and I am only doing this to build my future home."

Lu Yingxing watched her speak so calmly, but he felt as if a thousand pounds weighed down his heart. He suppressed his restlessness and said in a hoarse voice, "Madam, you don't have to be like this." You are not obligated to bear everything in Zhuocheng with me.

"Hey, please don't think too highly of me, okay? I'm just an average person... Do you know why the Shen family is still so extravagant nowadays?" They both shook their heads at the same time.

"Because before my grandfather's family left, they secretly entrusted most of the family business to my mother, saying that it was left to my granddaughter Shen Yu as a dowry, so... I should have my mother's dowry and the dowry left to me by my grandparents, but now look, most of my mother's dowry has been replaced, and I don't see anything left to me by the Su family..."

Although she is no longer Shen Yu herself, this is all her money! !

Manager Fu Yun, whose mind was in a mess and seemed about to explode, suddenly turned around and glared at Lu Yingxing with envy and jealousy.

How could this guy be granted marriage?

This is like being given a walking golden key!!
