After rebirth, the daughter of the marquisate went crazy
Chapter 16 I Want My Mother's Dowry
"Then, do you want to go home with your grandmother? Although your father doesn't say it, he misses you very much in his heart. And Qingya, when you are not around, she has no one to talk to." The old lady really dared to say anything to get Ye Qingyu to return to the Marquis' Mansion.
Ye Qingyu frowned, looking troubled, "But, I haven't stayed in the Duke's Mansion long enough."
The impatience in the old lady's eyes flashed away, but she still smiled. "If you haven't stayed long enough, just come back later. Look how much your grandmother misses you. Even an old woman like me, with my limited mobility, has come to see you. Everyone in the family is looking forward to your return."
"By the way, grandma also brought you a lot of jewelry that you like."
In order to coax Ye Qingyu back to the Marquis' Mansion, Old Lady Ye spent a lot of money. Servants came in one after another carrying trays, and the people were dazzled by the jewels and head ornaments.
Ye Qingyu pretended to be very interested and went forward to watch.
"Do you like it? This is only a part of it. Grandmother has sent most of it to your Wanyan Pavilion. You will be able to see it when you go back."
"Really? Thank you, grandma." Ye Qingyu looked like a happy little girl.
"I'm glad you like it. Then let's go back to the Marquis' Mansion and take a look?"
"If you have any requests, just tell me, and I will definitely satisfy you."
Madam Ye clapped her hands and clapped her hands, "Oh, it's all your father's fault. He didn't understand the whole story and misunderstood you. The same goes for Shuwen. He was thinking about gaining our family's favor and didn't tell the truth.
"Grandmother knows Qingyu has always been a good child, generous and not nitpicking. We are all family, and they all know they were wrong. If you are still angry, you can beat or scold her as you like. If you want any apology, Grandmother will agree to it."
Ye Qingyu's clear eyes seemed to be filled with anticipation. "Really? Grandma can agree to anything I ask for?"
"Of course." The old lady responded firmly.
She thought to herself, Ye Qingyu is just a little girl, and all she wants is some jewelry and some nice clothes, and at most she would just need some silver.
"Qingyu wants her mother's dowry." Ye Qingyu said bluntly.
"Dowry?" Old Madam Ye thought she had misheard. She looked at Ye Qingyu in a daze before she realized what she meant.
"Yes, Qingyu thought that her mother had passed away for more than a year, and it would be bad to trouble her grandmother to take care of the dowry all the time. Qingyu is getting older, and it's time for her to learn how to manage things. She will have to learn it in the future, so it's better to learn it early."
Ye Qingyu turned and winked at Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Zhong. "Aunts, is Qingyu right to think this way?"
Xu immediately understood Ye Qingyu's plan. "Yes, Qingyu is old enough to learn how to be a housekeeper. It's perfect for her to practice with my little sister's dowry shop. Even if it means losing some money, it won't matter."
Old Madam Ye's smile froze on her face. She didn't know how to start the conversation for a moment, and she didn't expect that this was what Ye Qingyu wanted. She had just said that she would agree to any request, and now she couldn't refuse. This was in the Duke's Mansion.
However, she was reluctant to give away Gu's dowry like this. When Gu got married, she had a very luxurious dowry. She brought a lot of shops and farms with her as a dowry. In that year, these shops gave her a total of 100,000 taels of silver.
She covered up and dodged, hesitatingly saying, "This is a bit too early. After all, Qingyu hasn't reached the age of marriage yet. She's still a little girl. How can she calm down and look at those messy account books? She is the legitimate daughter of our marquis's mansion. It won't be a problem for her to play for a few more years. It won't be too late to learn these things after she gets engaged."
"Yes, Qingyu is still young and there is no need to rush to learn these things." Third Aunt Zhou joined in.
Xu raised her eyebrows, her expression filled with pressure, and she looked at Madam Ye calmly, "How come it's too early? I think it's a bit late. Some girls start learning to manage the household at the age of ten. What's the matter, Madam? What's the difficulty here?"
Mrs. Zhong's expression darkened, and she spoke with a cold tone, "Madam Ye, if you have any difficulties, please tell us and we will see how to solve them."
A thin layer of sweat broke out on the old lady's forehead. She quickly waved her hands and said with a stiff smile, "No, it's not true. I just feel sorry for Qingyu. She is the eldest daughter of the Marquis's Mansion. Since Qingyu has such a heart, it is natural to satisfy her. When we return home, Grandmother will hand over your mother's dowry shop and farm to you."
Xu said forcefully, not caring at all about the old lady's stiff expression, "Let's hand it over here. Why go back to the mansion? It's just right for us to be witnesses. Please send someone back to the mansion to get all the account books."
Old Madam Ye also understood that the Duke's Mansion was clearly determined to get back Ye Qingyu's dowry today, and she knew that it was useless for her to refuse.
She ordered Zhou with a stiff face, "Go back and get all the account books."
Zhou took the key and went back to the Marquis' Mansion.
Soon, Zhou took all the account books back.
Looking at the box of land deeds, house deeds and account books, Ye Qingyu realized how generous her mother's dowry was.
In her previous life, she received her mother's dowry just before she got married. At that time, Old Madam Ye told her that the family had suffered heavy losses and only had three farms and five shops left.
Now it seems that she had embezzled all the money.
Xu asked someone to fetch the dowry list from the Duke's Mansion. There were three copies of her mother's dowry list, one was at the Duke's Mansion, one was filed with the government, and the other was sent to the Marquis' Mansion with the dowry.
Since Old Madam Ye understood what the Duke's Mansion did today, she naturally did not dare to do anything. She had no choice but to honestly return all the shops and farms.
Looking at these shops, Zhou's eyes turned red with envy.
After the inventory was completed, the old lady asked with a forced smile, "Qingyu, I see that your request has been fulfilled by me. Are you willing to go back home with me?"
Ye Qingyu had just received a large sum of money, so she naturally agreed in a good mood. "Since Grandmother has kept her promise, Qingyu will certainly do what she says."
Old Madam Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Qingyu had to pack a lot of things before returning to the Marquis' Mansion. Her two aunts prepared all kinds of food, daily necessities and toys for her, and even personally arranged a carriage to take Ye Qingyu back to the Marquis' Mansion.
After arriving at the Marquis' Mansion, Ye Qingyu went straight back to her own Wanyan Pavilion.
Wanqiu had been watching over Ye Qingyu's yard in the Marquis' Mansion these days. When she saw Ye Qingyu coming back, she happily went to greet her.
"Miss, you are finally back. I missed you so much. Please take me with you next time you return to the Duke's Mansion."
Ye Qingyu patted her head and said gently, "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Wanqiu. I will definitely take you with me next time."
"These things were brought back to me by my aunt. Please collect them."
Ye Qingyu instructed the maid to put away all the things. At this moment, someone from Chunhui Hall came to ask Ye Qingyu to come over.
