Not convinced? My princess has explosives

Chapter 17: Feeling the shameless family with no bottom line

He calmed his pounding heart and looked up at Xiao Bei and Aunt Lin with interest.

"Prime Minister Xiao, can you pack up my mother's dowry and return it to me now?"

Xiao Bei was already frightened.

With a fake smile, he said to Xiao Shuyao:

"Child, how can you talk like that? Your mother's dowry has always been reserved for you."

"I will prepare your dowry when you get married and get engaged."

Xiao Bei said this without any pressure.

After all, in ancient times, women could not get dowries before they reached the age of 18.

"Don't pretend to care about me."

"Don't play word games with me, I'm just asking you whether you will give it to me or not."

Aunt Lin showed up again at this time.

"Yao'er, you are still young after all. The Prime Minister's Mansion will keep you in safekeeping. When you get married, you will get it as a dowry."

"Besides, how can a girl carry the dowry by herself? What if the dowry is used up when you get married?"

Xiao Shuyao looked at Aunt Lin with a smile.

"Mrs. Lin, your family is just an ordinary business family, right?"

"You are the concubine's daughter of the family."

"I heard that since you married into the Prime Minister's Mansion, your family has become more and more generous with their spending."

"You have a lot of status now that you have returned to your mother's home."

"You said this family has such a big business, where do they get the money to squander?"

Xiao Shuyao stopped there.

Aunt Lin couldn't hide the panic in her eyes.

And Xiao Bei is a suspicious person.

Now I even suspect that Aunt Lin used the money from the Prime Minister's Mansion to subsidize her parents' family.

Xiao Shuyao looked at the two people who had their own thoughts.

It's both ridiculous and sad.

"What does this have to do with you, you useless piece of shit? Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you have this crippled, ugly prince backing you up?"

"Don't let your imagination run wild here."

Aunt Lin was still venting her anger without caring about anything else and didn't notice it at all.

The icy aura around Zeng Chengze was enough to freeze a person to death.

"Oh, so a concubine can criticize the prince like this."

"This prince has truly witnessed it."

"Qingfeng, you insulted the royal prince. Drag him away and beat him to death."

Qingfeng stepped forward without any hesitation.

"Wait a minute"

"Your Highness, please don't kill me. I still have a lot of private matters to ask Aunt Lin about."

"Okay, listen to the young lady, take him down and give him a hundred lashes."

Xiao Shuyao curled the corner of her mouth. If he wasn't killed by these hundred blows, he would be crippled.

"Don't beat her to death, Miss Xiao is useful"

After a while, screams were heard outside, and Xiao Bei began to tremble all over.

"I will prepare the dowry and send it to my daughter tomorrow."

"It's okay. Your Highness has plenty of time. Prime Minister Xiao, please arrange for someone to sort it out now."

Zeng Chengze came here today just to help Xiao Shuyao and didn't want to delay.

"Breeze~"

Qingfeng was originally supervising the guards beating people with sticks when he heard his master calling him and went into the main hall.

"Your Highness! I am here."

"Go to the mansion and bring Steward Li over to help the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion count the dowry."

"Yes, my subordinate will go right away."

Xiao Bei is now angry, furious and powerless, his face looks like a color palette.

Xiao Shuyao was so happy seeing this.

Although you can also make money and develop step by step.

However, she didn't want to let this group of black-hearted people eat her mother's things, use her mother's things, and abuse her.

But I didn't expect things to go so smoothly. If it weren't for Zeng Chengze, I would have had to put in some more effort.

Xiao Shuyao looked at Zeng Chengze, and found that Zeng Chengze was also looking at her.

Xiao Shuyao immediately looked away in panic.

Zeng Chengze smiled.

Zeng Chengze himself didn't realize that he smiled more and more whenever he was with Xiao Shuyao.

Xiao Bei had no choice but to order the housekeeper to go to the warehouse to sort things out.

Aunt Lin outside had fainted and was carried away by the servants.

Qingfeng quickly brought the steward of the eldest prince's mansion.

When Butler Li saw Zeng Chengze, he knelt down and saluted.

"Your Highness, I have already told you on the way to Qingfeng."

"Well, get up"

"Mr. Prime Minister, please send someone to take me to help."

Butler Li stood up and looked at Prime Minister Xiao.

Although Butler Li is a servant, he is a close friend of the late emperor and is very capable.

The late emperor gave Steward Li to Zeng Chengze when he was very young.

Because of his high status, he doesn't have to perform formalities.

"Okay, okay, I'll arrange it right away."

Butler Li followed the servant and left.

The main hall suddenly became very quiet.

Xiao Shuyao was chatting with Xiao U out of boredom.

"Xiao U, where do you think I should start my business?"

"Master, you can sell some daily necessities first."

"After all, your cooking skills are very average, and you don't have anyone you can hire in the catering industry."

Xiao Shuyao was confused.

'You said, since you are the smart space manager, can I turn you off manually?'

'Or, do I have the right to change the space manager?'

"Wow~~ Master, even if Xiao U has no credit, she has worked hard. How can you treat her like this..."

"Okay, okay, collect it."

Little U stopped pretending to cry.

'What are you going to do with the empty space behind the master's commercial building?'

Xiao Shuyao then remembered that there was a large open space behind the shopping mall.

After all, we are in ancient times, and there is always a shortage of food and vegetables here, and many varieties are not available here.

'I've had this idea for a long time. I want to grow food, vegetables, fruits, and herbs.'

"It's just that I've been a bit busy lately, so I won't delay this."

'Master, you can tell Xiao U what you want to plant directly, and Xiao U can control the sowing.'

"Why didn't you tell me about this feature earlier? Isn't this a waste of time?"

"You didn't ask, Master. There's no need to waste time. Time in this space is slower than time outside."

'One day inside, three days outside.'

'It can be adjusted. The maximum is one day here and one month outside.'

"This is so scientific. This is great. It can save a lot of trouble."

"Then you get seeds from the commercial building, such as wheat, corn, rice, and vegetables."

'As long as there is enough land, plant it all'

"Okay, Master, I'll go right away."

Xiao Shuyao was in a very good mood when she found out that the space was so useful.

Zeng Chengze had been looking at Xiao Shuyao and was amazed by her rich expression.

I find it very interesting.

Little U is having a lot of fun busying himself in the space.

The people in the main hall had different thoughts.

At this time, Steward Li and Steward Xiao from the Prime Minister's Mansion arrived at the main hall together.

The two people had different expressions.

Butler Li looked very angry, while Butler Xiao was a little flustered.

Butler Li was so angry that he didn't care where he was. He said to Zeng Chengze angrily:

"Your Highness, Miss Zhu was extremely talented and beautiful. When she got married, the ten-mile-long red dress at the Taifu Mansion was famous throughout Xuanwu Country."

"But now there is not even one-third left. The Prime Minister's Mansion is so huge, but it all depends on Miss Zhu's dowry to survive."

"But Miss Zhu's children live worse than servants."

"The Grand Tutor's Mansion was a great minister who assisted the late Emperor, but his granddaughter has to beg for food."

Butler Li could no longer suppress his anger.
