The war god prince climbs the wall every night, and the princess is angry
Chapter 38 It’s all hers
Rongde Hall
"What did you say!"
Treasure Pavilion belongs to the Shen family?!
This news stunned the old lady, Mrs. Lin and the second wife, Mrs. Wu, and it took them a long time to come back to their senses.
They all knew how expensive the jewelry in the Treasure Pavilion was. Normally, it would take them a long time to buy a set of jewelry. The Shen family actually owned the entire Treasure Pavilion. How rich must the Shen family be?
The old lady and Mrs. Lin's faces were full of surprise.
Zhou Lingfu looked dissatisfied, "Grandma, the Shen family is so rich, and they still have to take more than 60,000 taels of silver from us just to live in the Marquis' Mansion. It's really too much."
That silver was originally her dowry!
Second Madam Wu was shocked and then very angry. She said to the old lady, "Mother, the Shen family is so rich that they allowed those shopkeepers to do such things. It's clear that they don't take our mansion seriously!"
Especially when the gifts came to the Marquis' Mansion, none of them were produced by the Treasure Pavilion. Isn't this just a disregard for them?
"Sister-in-law, have you known about this for a long time? You deliberately hid it from us, afraid that we would take advantage of you!"
The more Wu thought about it these days, the more she felt something was wrong.
The eldest wife has always had a good relationship with the Shen family. How could they take some things from the shop and then ask the shopkeeper to come to the Marquis' Mansion to collect the debt?
Unless the eldest wife didn't want them to take advantage and deliberately put on a show for them, after all, the eldest wife didn't tell her at all when she took things from the Shen family shop. It was the old lady who told her.
The 60,000 taels of silver might have become the eldest wife's private money as soon as it left the Yongning Marquis's Mansion!
It’s just a pity for her sister Fu, her dowry money was reduced by half!
Thinking of this, Wu's tears fell, and she felt that the mother and daughter of the eldest wife were too bullying.
"Sister-in-law, you can't say that. How could I do such a thing?"
Lin was so angry that she thought Wu was as stupid as a pig. If she had known earlier, she would have gone directly to the Treasure Pavilion instead of going to the silk shop or rouge shop!
Any set of headgear from the Treasure Pavilion is much more valuable than those.
At this time Zhou Lingfu spoke,
"But I saw Sister Yi had a lot of hairpins from the Treasure Pavilion before."
After being reminded by her mother, Zhou Lingfu also realized that something was wrong. If the eldest wife didn't know that the property of Zhenbao Pavilion belonged to the Shen family, where did Zhou Lingyi get the money to buy so many hairpins from Zhenbao Pavilion?
The mother and daughter of the second wife looked at Zhou Lingyi angrily, which made Zhou Lingyi furious.
How did the hairpin come about?
Of course, it was borrowed from Shen Qionghua, and most of it was taken away by Shen Qionghua last time!
Zhou Lingyi pinched her palms, but tried to keep a smile on her pretty face. She said as if she didn't care at all, "Those belonged to Cousin Shen. I just played with them for two days and have already returned them."
"Going back?" Wu and Zhou Lingfu asked in surprise.
Did they really blame the eldest wife wrongly?
The old lady couldn't stand it any longer. This second wife was really stupid.
The old lady thought that she still understood the Lin family. She calculated the Shen family's money not only for His Royal Highness Prince An, but also to pave the way for Lin Ge'er and Yi Jie'er.
Lin is not so far from being unable to distinguish between inside and outside.
Not to mention Sister Yi, she had never met the Shen family before and had no feelings for them at all. There was no reason for her to hide it for the Shen family. If she knew, she would have told His Highness long ago.
"That's enough. You guys go back first. I still have something to ask Sister Yi." The old lady said to the mother and daughter of the second wife.
Although Wu and Zhou Lingfu felt that the old lady was partial to them and had something to hide from the eldest wife, they still left obediently. After all, the old lady had the right to kick them out of the mansion at any moment.
As soon as the second wife and her daughter left, the old lady felt her mind became much clearer.
She said to Zhou Lingyi, "Sister Yi, tell me in detail what happened at today's lotus viewing banquet."
Zhou Lingyi replied yes and immediately told everything.
The more the old lady listened, the tighter her brows furrowed. When she finished hearing everything, she was almost laughed at by Zhou Lingfu.
So many things happened at the Lotus Viewing Banquet, but when Zhou Lingfu came back she only talked about the Treasure Pavilion.
"This is difficult to deal with. That girl actually saved Princess Pingning."
Originally, His Highness had asked that girl to go to the Lotus Appreciation Banquet today because he intended to use the princess to confirm that there was some unspeakable relationship between the two of them, but he did not expect that it would be disrupted by Princess Pingning.
That would have been fine, but the girl turned out to be Princess Pingning's savior.
The Marquis' Mansion has not yet firmly controlled her. If she has other means to rely on, in the future...
The old lady stroked the cane at hand, tightening her grip.
Why save Princess Pingning when she is the cousin of Prince Rui and the only daughter of Duke Zhenguo?
Lin was also shocked when she heard this. How did that girl get involved with Princess Pingning?
If this happens to reveal something accidentally in the future, it will be difficult to control the person.
Thinking of this, Lin tightened her grip on the handkerchief, her eyes filled with fierceness.
She would never let anyone or anything hinder Lin Ge'er's future and Yi Jie'er's position as queen!
"My eldest daughter-in-law, it seems that the girl from the Shen family does not completely trust the Marquis' Mansion." The old lady said in a deep voice.
If he had believed it, he would not have kept the Treasure Pavilion secret for so long. When he handed over some shops to his eldest daughter-in-law for management last time, he should have handed over the Treasure Pavilion as well.
But it is true. The family is very rich, and there is only a widowed mother and younger brother left. How can one not be on guard without a man to support the family?
Now everyone knows that the Treasure Pavilion belongs to the Shen family, and the Marquis' Mansion is in a passive situation.
Fortunately, she had asked her two daughters-in-law to pay off the debt together last time, otherwise the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion would have been ruined.
After filling in that account, I think the girl's guard will be reduced a little.
Lin's face looked a little ugly. She really thought that Shen Qionghua trusted her very much and handed the shop over to her to manage. After all, they had never met before, and she was not as easy to control as Lin Wanru.
"Mom, don't worry, I will keep a close eye on her." Lin said.
"Not only that, but we also need to make her trust the Marquis' Mansion."
"If the Shen family's wealth can be used by Your Highness, it will greatly increase Your Highness's bargaining chips. Our Marquis' Mansion will not be far from the highest position in the country, and Sister Yi will also be able to get what she wishes." The old lady said lightly.
Lin should be.
Listening to the conversation between the two, Zhou Lingyi felt a little uneasy for some reason, and she clenched Lin's hand.
Lin turned around, patted her daughter soothingly, and said with a firm look in her eyes, "Don't worry, mother will definitely make sure you get what you want!"
Zhou Lingyi thought of the ruby hairpin on the dressing table, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed across his eyes.
His Highness is hers!
The throne of queen will also be hers!
No one can take away what belongs to her!
