Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 137

Qin Shuangya said in a humble and apologetic tone, "My expenses at the Prince Cheng's residence are too high, and the dowry I brought was not much. I am very short of money now. Could my mother and brother give me some money to tide me over?"

The fact that she has survived to this day in the Prince Cheng's mansion can be said to be entirely due to the money she has spent.

Prince Cheng was only tormenting her to vent his anger; after all, she was the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Yongning's mansion, and he wouldn't really want to kill her. However, her treatment in Prince Cheng's mansion was worse than that of a servant. She had the status of a concubine, but she wasn't given food or clothes, and when she was injured, they wouldn't even call a doctor or buy medicine for her.

She had to pay for all her own expenses and give her own money to the servants. She had to bribe them in order to get them to do things for her and survive in the Prince Cheng's mansion.

She didn't bring much dowry with her before, so it couldn't withstand spending like this, and it was almost gone in just a few months.

She went to the Yongning Marquis's mansion this time specifically to ask for money.

Qin Shaoze and Old Madam Qin exchanged a glance.

Liu Manman's dowry is still with Old Madam Qin. In order to behave well, Liu Manman did not continue to make a fuss with Old Madam Qin to get her dowry back. Old Madam Qin did not dare to go too far, and paid Liu Manman her monthly allowance in full.

In order to generate income for the Marquis's household, Old Madam Qin recently spent most of the cash from her dowry to purchase two shops in the capital, but they have not yet started to make a profit.

Therefore, the Marquis's mansion didn't really have much money.

Grandma Qin would never touch her own little savings.

Old Madam Qin said with difficulty, "Shuangya, you know the situation of the Marquis's mansion. Our family's previous properties were all transferred to her maternal family by that bitch Shen. Liu's dowry was used to purchase new shops, so we really don't have much money now... How about I give you five hundred taels first?"

Qin Shuangya was so angry that she almost cursed him out loud.

Five hundred taels?

Sending beggars away!

What can you do with that little bit of money!

But she didn't show it on her face, only weeping pitifully: "Mother, you don't know how much money I need in the Prince Cheng's mansion... The dowry I brought with me was worth about five thousand taels of silver, and it's all gone in just three months. I don't know how I'll survive without money in the future..."

She didn't dare to complain directly in front of the two old women who were watching her, but wasn't that clear enough?

Grandma Qin was still unwilling.

Isn't this just a bottomless pit that can never be filled?

No amount of money can subsidize Qin Shuangya, it's not enough for her needs. Are we going to keep subsidizing her like this?

After much back and forth, Old Madam Qin gave Qin Shuangya one thousand taels of silver and Qin Shaoze gave her five hundred taels. That was all the 1,500 taels they gave Qin Shuangya.

Seeing that she couldn't get any more money, Qin Shuangya had no choice but to give up. Too lazy to say anything more to Old Madam Qin and Qin Shaoze, she left the Yongning Marquis's residence.

She now sees through her mother and brother; they are utterly inhuman. Forget about saving her from hell, they wouldn't even part with a little money to make her live a better life!

On the carriage back to the Prince of Cheng's mansion, Qin Shuangya's expression grew increasingly cold, and her gaze increasingly resentful.

Since her relatives are so heartless, she'll retaliate in kind. They've done the first thing, so she won't be retaliatory!

Back at Prince Cheng's residence, the atmosphere was less oppressive and suffocating because Prince Cheng had been away recently, and Qin Shuangya was more free to move around.
