After the marriage, the abstinent prince turned me on

"Who is it?" Xie Wenyao's impatient voice came from inside the house, with a hint of anger at having his good thing disturbed.

He thought it was another blind servant and was about to scold him, but he was stunned the moment he opened the door.

Xie Mishuang was seen wearing a light pink dress, looking elegant and refined, followed by Qinghe, Xinyan, and a few servants with lowered brows.

The anger on Xie Wenyao's face instantly dissipated, replaced by a gentle and loving expression: "Shuang'er, why are you here? What's the matter?"

Xie Mishuang bowed slightly, her eyes slightly red, and her tone was a little aggrieved: "Daddy, my mother's dowry is missing, I would like to ask you to make a decision for me."

"The dowry is missing?" Xie Wenyao frowned. "What happened? Could it be that one of the servants embezzled it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a servant behind Xie Mishuang fell to his knees and kowtowed repeatedly: "Master, please spare my life! I am innocent! The storehouse has always been managed by the Madam, and I have never handled the young lady's dowry!"

At this time, Shen was already dressed and walked out of the house.

She glanced at the servant kneeling on the ground, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes. He was a bastard who took advantage of the situation.

Shen's face remained expressionless. She walked over to Xie Mishuang, took her hand affectionately, and said softly, "Shuang'er, it's mother's fault for not taking good care of you. However, your mother's dowry is nothing more than some useless medical books and worthless jewelry. When you get married, mother will definitely prepare more dowry for you as compensation, okay?"

Xie Mishuang calmly withdrew her hand, her face pale, her eyes reddened, and her voice choked with sobs: "Mother, although those dowries are not valuable, they are all gifts from the Empress. If the Empress heard what I said, it would be a capital crime!"

When Shen heard this, her expression suddenly changed.

A gift from the Empress? How is that possible?

Xin Yan, who was standing behind Xie Mishuang, also stood up. Her tone was respectful but contained a hint of unquestionable firmness. "Master, Madam, I will report the truth to the Empress, saying that Madam Shen despised the gift from the Empress."

Shen was so frightened that her body froze, her face turned pale, and she couldn't utter a word.

How could those worthless dowries be involved with the queen?

When Xie Wenyao heard that it was a gift from the Empress, he panicked and asked hurriedly, "What's going on? Does your mother know the Empress?"

Xie Mi's eyes were filled with tears, and her tone was filled with sadness and helplessness. "Father, I only learned yesterday when I entered the palace that my grandmother had saved the Empress's life when she was young. The Empress has always been grateful for my grandmother's kindness, so she rewarded me with those dowries. I am eager to find my mother's dowry today. I hope Father will not blame me for being ignorant."

"Madam, please think carefully, where did the dowry go?" Xie Wenyao frowned and questioned Shen in a stern tone.

Shen avoided Xie Wenyao's gaze guiltily, and quickly thought of her words in her mind.

She had secretly taken the dowry to her parents' home and sold it a long time ago. Where could she find it now?

Seeing Shen's hesitation, Xie Mishuang sneered in his heart, but remained expressionless. He said softly, "Dad, maybe it's been too long and Mom can't remember it right now?"

Shen, as if grasping at a life-saving straw, nodded and agreed quickly, "Yes, yes, Master, why don't you wait until I remember it before sending it to Shuang'er?"

A cold glint flashed in Xie Mi's eyes, but her tone remained gentle and considerate. "It's okay if you can't remember. If you can exchange it for cash, it should be fine. However, those medical books were written by Mr. Li, the world's number one doctor, and given to Grandmother by the Empress herself. They are priceless treasures to me. I ask you, Mother, to help me find them."

Upon hearing this, Shen's expression suddenly became even uglier.

She had long since treated those medical books as waste paper and burned them. Where could she find them?

Xie Wenyao was very pleased to hear that Xie Mishuang was so sensible and considerate. He patted Xie Mishuang's hand lovingly and said softly, "Don't worry, Shuang'er, Daddy will definitely make the decision for you."

He turned to look at Shen and sternly ordered, "Hurry up and find Shuang'er's mother's dowry! Especially those medical books, you must find them!"

Shen was complaining in her heart, but she did not dare to disobey Xie Wenyao's order and could only agree obediently.

Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Xie Mishuang stood up and said goodbye: "Thank you, Daddy, for taking care of your daughter. I will go back first."

Xie Wenyao nodded and watched Xie Mishuang leave.

Only after Xie Mishuang's figure disappeared at the door did Xie Wenyao retract his gaze and look at Shen, his eyes full of disappointment and disgust.

Xie Wenyao walked away in a huff, leaving Shen standing there alone, shaking with anger.

She stared viciously at the direction where Xie Mishuang left, growling through gritted teeth: "Little bitch."

Shen returned to her yard and sat down on a chair angrily, her chest heaving violently.

"Damn it, I shouldn't have gotten rid of the dowry!" She thought with regret. In order to fill the deficit of her parents' family, she secretly sold the dowry, but now it has become a hot potato.

At this time, a maid came in with a low-browed look, holding a piece of paper in her hand and handed it to Shen: "Madam, this is from the Shen family's accountant. It says it is the amount of deficit this month."

Shen took the list impatiently, glanced at it casually, and her expression suddenly became even uglier.

“Why is it so much?!” she exclaimed. The list listed all kinds of deficits, and the total amount was as much as 100,000 taels of silver!

Where can she get so much money now?

"Also, here's the dowry list sent from the Winter Warmth Pavilion." The maid continued, taking out a list.

Shen took a look and found that it was also 100,000!

Unless... unless Xueer's dowry can be temporarily discounted.

Thinking of this, he went straight to Xie Chuxue's yard.

At the same time, in the Winter Warmth Pavilion.

While pouring tea for Xie Mishuang, Qing He asked curiously, "Miss, did the dowry really come from the Empress?"

Xie Mishuang shook her head slightly, a sly smile on her lips: "If you don't say that, why would they work so hard to get all the dowry back?"

Xin Yan covered her mouth and chuckled, "Miss, you are so brave that you actually brought up the Empress to scare people. If the Empress knew about this, wouldn't you be blamed?"

"Didn't you help me too?" Xie Mi raised an eyebrow and asked, "If you want to blame someone, then let's blame them together."

"I was just joking!" Xin Yan waved her hands quickly and said with a smile, "The Queen will definitely not blame you."

Qing He couldn't help but be curious and asked, "Miss, what kind of magic did you use to make the Queen like you so much?"

Xie Mishuang smiled mysteriously and uttered two words: "Secret."
