The prince can read minds! I just want to be a princess and have a bad time

"Oh no!"

Several old men appeared on the stage and gathered around a pile of dowry boxes to discuss, "I remember that this 'Red Coral Colored Glaze Su Buyao' was the work of Master Hu of the Zhou family, right? For a while, the master was obsessed with using red coral to make jewelry. Rumor has it that it was because he was commissioned by Master Su to use a piece of top-quality red coral as the raw material to make a buyao for the dowry of the master's daughter. If I'm not mistaken, it should be this one? In that case, it should be carved from top-quality red coral and then wrapped with colored glaze for decoration. I was fortunate enough to see the real thing with the master back then, but look, this one is obviously a replica carved from chicken blood jade!! "

"Wow! It's a replica! No way!"

"Oh my god, what's going on? The princess actually took out a fake?"

"Bah! Didn't you hear clearly? The dowry has always been in the Shen family. What does it have to do with Princess Zhuo?"

"Have you forgotten? The princess was granted a temporary marriage and got married one month after she was brought back..."

"Ah? So you mean the Shen Mansion... Woohoo, I won't tell you, I won't tell you, just let go!"

Shen Yu was surprised and said, "Imitation...imitation? Old man, do you mean that my dowry is all fake? But...how is this going on? These have been stored in the warehouse since my mother was alive. This...I..."

Fu Yunxiu took over and said in a voice that could be heard clearly by the audience, "Princess, these dowries cannot be considered fake. They were just copied and replaced with cheap materials."

Audience: “Wow!!!”

"Princess, please look at this chicken-blood jade hairpin. For example, its shape is very similar to the original. Although chicken-blood jade is also jade, it is the lowest-grade and cheapest material. Generally, a hairpin of good quality is sold for a few taels of silver, while real red coral is priceless and hard to come by. Especially since your hairpin is of top grade and carved by a master, the price at a normal auction house is definitely more than ten thousand taels of silver. The two are simply incomparable."

Mrs. Li, the Minister of the Central Secretariat, could not help but come on stage after hearing this. When she saw that it was indeed cheap chicken blood jade, her heart was broken immediately. She thought she had bought the treasure she had been dreaming of for many years, but now she was told that it was fake?

If he had never possessed her, he would not have had such delusions. Now, the pain of missing her turned into anger in an instant. "This is too much! This is simply a sinister intention! If the princess had not temporarily put out the dowry for auction today, would this matter have been covered up? Who exactly is the person who exchanged the dowry? What exactly do they want to do?"

Madam Li was really furious, but after thinking about it carefully, she understood the reason. What else could she not understand about the secretive tactics commonly used in the rear quarters?

The old man at the side was also staring in astonishment, "Who on earth did this evil thing? This is simply an insult to the old craftsmen! And more than one piece has been replaced, at least all of the items in these three boxes have been replaced. I dare not say anything about the others as they haven't been unpacked yet, but the dozen or so items I have seen so far are all just shoddy items!!"

Another elderly man also stood up and said, "This is really too much. Someone must have taken the real thing and asked someone to counterfeit it. Otherwise, we would not have the chance to see these long-lost treasures, not to mention that they were counterfeited so similarly. This is simply impossible! It's outrageous! It's outrageous!"

Compared to the princess's dowry being replaced, these old people were obviously more concerned about someone desecrating the hard work of their predecessors.

Three of them are old shopkeepers of "Zhenbaozhai", and the other two are collectors invited to the "audience seats". These old men have been dealing with various treasures for their entire lives. These items are like their old friends, and they treat the relics of famous craftsmen with a sense of awe. Now, someone actually dares to take a chance on the works of these masters?

To them, it was like someone was wasting their old friend's hard work! Was this a trade of inferior for real? No, this was the kidnapping of the master's orphan! !

Mrs. Li, the Minister of the Imperial Secretariat, asked anxiously, "So there are still authentic ones, right? Then where are the authentic ones?"

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted loudly: "Mrs. Shen is here! Just ask the Shen family and you will know!"

"Yes, yes, yes! They must give Princess Zhuo an explanation."

Suddenly, the crowd around Luo Yunmei retreated, leaving a space between her and Shen Yue. Everyone looked at her, as if they were looking at someone extremely evil. Facing all kinds of questioning and condemning looks, she panicked. Why are these people so annoying! Fortunately, the master is not here! Otherwise, he would have seen such an embarrassing scene...

Someone else asked, "Huh? But didn't Mrs. Shen pass away?"

"Bah! This is Madam Shen Ji. I heard she is a widow who remarried. She is also said to be the cousin of the late Madam Su."

"Ah? Then the one who has the opportunity to touch the dowry is this Mrs. Shen Ji, right?"

"Master Shen doesn't care? Didn't he say he loved the late Madam the most?"

"People leave and the tea gets cold. Lord Shen is no longer the Shen Tanhua who took the exam for love~~"

"I didn't expect that the rich and powerful could be so sinister. Even the dowry of Princess Zhuo was stolen. Tsk tsk tsk!"

The people of Luocheng are sarcastic. From today on, Luo Yunmei will be given an exclusive title: Madam Shen Ji.

The new wife of Shen Ji was pale. She had received the imperial edict that day, saying that Su Yixia was suddenly posthumously conferred the title of Super-Rank. Her husband had said that this was because the emperor was dissatisfied with the Shen family, and told her to be a low-profile person recently. Who knew that Shen Yu would do this again! !

She didn't dare to look at the crowd, nor did she dare to move. This guilty look had already been seen by Shen Nian in the restaurant not far away! Although he looked calm on the surface, if Luo Yunmei was present, she would definitely be able to tell that this was a sign of his extreme anger.

The undercurrent in Minister Shen's eyes was like a huge wave. As a first-rank official, he had never suffered such an insult before!

He looked in the direction of the tower and found that the bright yellow figure had already disappeared. He was not sure whether the emperor had left before or after this incident. If it was the latter...

He clenched his fists, staring at his wife who was surrounded by the crowd with deep eyes. He thought she just took a few pieces of jewelry, which was harmless, but who would have thought she would dare to pass off fakes as real ones? He smiled angrily, "Go back home!" As soon as he stepped out of the door, he said, "You stay and wait until I know what to do?"

"I understand, sir, don't worry!" As the chief confidant, how could the butler not know the cruel and ruthless nature of his master?

Mrs. Shen Ji was still trying to explain, "Everyone has misunderstood. I left all the dowry intact..."

However, her voice was too small and was soon drowned out by the crowd. But it didn't matter, she had a daughter who faced the challenge head on! ! Shen Yue listened to the waves of condemnation, and they kept asking her mother to give an explanation. She was so angry that she started to curse, "Don't let Shen Yu fool you! Does she mean it's fake? How many good things have you seen? Red coral? Chicken blood jade? Can you tell them apart? And who dares to say that it wasn't Shen Yu who was the thief crying thief?"

I have to say that Shen Yue's IQ suddenly turned up, and some people were really fooled by her.

Seeing this, the housekeeper immediately asked his people to step forward and lead the rhythm, "That's right! Lord Shen is the Minister of Revenue, and he is valued by the emperor. Although he is not rich, he is not poor either. Why would he covet the dowry of his ex-wife?"

Another person said, "Yes, does this count as slandering an official of the imperial court? Will we be arrested and put in jail?"

After hearing this, the crowd, which had been in an uproar just now, finally quieted down, and no one continued to refute Shen Yue's remarks of crying thief. After all, the essence of the spectators is just to join in the fun, and no one will really stand up for anyone else. There is no need, and no ability.

"That's right! Think about it carefully. My father is a high-ranking official. How can you commoners question him casually? Don't let those lowly merchants question our Shen family just because of a few words!" Seeing that someone was supporting her, Shen Yue became even more motivated!
