The Red Mansion's Doting Wife Maniac

Lin Ruhai reported his dead wife's dowry to the government, and this incident naturally caused quite a commotion.

Jia Min's dowry shops are at least a dozen in the capital, and all the shops in the capital are Jia Min's dowry shops, and none of them have clean hands, and all of them have been arrested by the government. Beheaded, only a few were sentenced to exile.

The capital is prosperous, and these stewards are related to the stewards of the Rongguo Mansion, and they are all arrogant. In addition, the titles of the Lin family have long since disappeared, and their official positions are not high, so the dowry of the Jia family is not very important. The Lin family took it seriously.

Who knew that Lin Ruhai would immediately become an important member of the second rank once he returned to Beijing.

Jia Min passed away, and her daughter was still young, so her dowry naturally went to Lin Ruhai for safekeeping.

The Lin family was rich and looked down on Jia Min's dowries, so Lin Ruhai did not check the accounts of these dowry shops.

Therefore, it was only after Daiyu took over that she discovered that Jia Min's dowry had been corrupted so much.

After this incident, most of the nobles in Beijing are also strictly checking the accounts of the mansion, and a lot of moths have been caught because of this, so I will ignore this matter.

Just after the beginning of autumn, the weather is hot in the last days of dog days, and Chen Yun is so hot that he doesn't want to go out to school at all.

It's a pity that the academy doesn't have holidays at all, so no matter how much Chen Yunju didn't want to go, he had to change his clothes and go out.

As soon as he arrived at the academy, he saw Shao Yinian and Lu Yongyuan standing at the door, as if they were waiting for someone.

Seeing Chen Yunjue, he hurriedly waved to him, Chen Yunjue frowned, and came forward, "Wait for me?"

"Let's talk as we walk." Shao Yinian hooked Chen Yunju's shoulders and walked into the academy, "Thank you for what happened last time."

The endless thank you seemed a little inexplicable, but Chen Yunjue understood that it was still about the murder case last time.

"You don't need to thank me, I didn't help you with anything." Chen Yun excused.

Shao Yinian grinned, "No amount of modesty is hypocrisy."

Hearing this, Chen Yun was too lazy to argue with him, "Wait for me at the gate of the academy early in the morning, just to say thank you?"

"Of course not..." Shao Yinian said, "I was able to find Princess Le Yao in time this time. Thanks to your news, my father's black hat was finally saved. You have contributed a lot. Don't say that you have nothing. Do it, if you can tell me the news, it will be a great help."

Chen Yunjue: "..."

He hesitated for a moment, then sighed, "Okay, then what?"

"My father wants to thank you. It happens that the Ghost Festival is just a few days away. The academy is on holiday for one day. My father has already reserved a private room in Yunkelai Restaurant. You must come then." Shao Yinian said.

Chen Yunjue didn't really want to go, but judging from what Shao Yinian said, the private room had already been booked, if he didn't go at this time, it would be really embarrassing.

He sighed helplessly, "I know."

Hearing Chen Yunteng's answer, Shao Yinian immediately let go of his arm around Chen Yunteng's shoulder, opened his fan and said, "I'm really afraid that you will refuse."

"Hasn't your master already booked a private room? If I refuse again, wouldn't it be too ignorant?" Chen Yun borrowed.

Shao Yinian smiled, but didn't speak.

Lu Yongyuan said, "Yunjue, Mr. Lin, the servant of the household department, is going to marry your aunt on the fifteenth day of next month, right?"

Chen Yun borrowed, "Yes, why do you ask this?"

"Master Lin's family has had such a big incident recently, haven't you heard about it?" Lu Yongyuan said in surprise.

Chen Yun knew it clearly after hearing the words, "Are you talking about the master suing the slave?"

"So you know?" Lu Yongyuan said, "Why do you still act like you don't know anything?"

"I just don't understand what to say about it." Chen Yun wondered.

Lu Yongyuan looked at Chen Yunju, and after a while, he shook his head and laughed, "I forgot that you have been studying hard recently. Except for the academy, you never go out at all. It's normal if you don't know."

Chen Yun frowned slightly, "What kind of riddle are you playing? Tell me what you have to say."

"Recently, there has been news in Beijing that Master Lin, the Minister of the Household Department, told his deceased wife that the dowry was intended to be a generous dowry for the late wife." Lu Yongyuan said.

Chen Yun scoffed at the words, "It's ridiculous. Although the Lin family is noble, it is also a family of bells and tripods. They would covet the dead wife's dowry? It's ridiculous. Where did this rumor come from?"

"Of course I don't believe this kind of rumor. But... there are not many people in this world who understand, and there are many stupid people who have already believed this kind of rumor..."

Lu Yongyuan fanned the wind, and said leisurely, "Your cousin is about to marry, so your family is related to the Lin family. It is better to clear up such rumors as soon as possible."

Chen Yun frowned, "I see." After a pause, "Thanks."

"You're welcome." Lu Yongyuan smiled.

Both Lu Yongyuan and Shao Yinian were in the children's class, so Chen Yunjuan separated from them on the way.

When Shen Shi was over from school, Chen Yun packed his things and went straight home.

Then he went to find Chen Yunxian without thinking about it.

"If you don't have anything to do, go to the Three Treasures Palace. Tell me, ask me for anything." Chen Yunxian is now used to his younger brother coming to beg him if he has anything to do.

Before Chen Yun could make an excuse, he was blocked back and scratched his head, "Brother, how do you know that I have something to ask you?"

"I don't know you yet?" Chen Yunxian said amusedly, "Recently, you've been ignoring your sleep and food and reading. If you have nothing to do, where would you come to me?"

Chen Yun was blushed from being told, "I..."

"Okay, there's nothing to be embarrassed about, my brother, you don't need to see outsiders." Chen Yunxian comforted, and then asked, "Tell me, what happened."

Chen Yun just sat down, poured water, and said, "I went to the academy today, and A Yuan and Yinian were waiting for me at the gate of the academy. Yinian said that his master was going to entertain me at Yunkelai Restaurant, but Master Shao and I really have nothing I have something to say, so I want to ask my elder brother to go with me." After speaking, he drank the water in the glass.

After listening to Chen Yunjue's words, Chen Yunxian thought for a while and said, "Which day?"

"Recently, the Ghost Festival is only a day off." Chen Yun excused.

Chen Yunxian nodded, "I understand, I'll go with you, is there anything else?"

Chen Yunjue scratched his head and told him what Lu Yongyuan told him, "This rumor came out of nowhere. Although it was not a big deal, it also affected Master Lin's reputation. When he returned to Beijing, he had already offended many people. Now If something like this happens again, I'm afraid someone will use it against Mr. Lin."

Hearing this, Chen Yunxian took a deep look at Chen Yunjue, "Yunjue, do you still have contact with that young lady of the Lin family?"

Chen Yun grinned, "Brother..."

"Okay, I understand." Chen Yunxian couldn't help laughing at Chen Yun's annoyed expression, and reached out to touch his younger brother's head, "It's not difficult to solve this matter, leave it to me, don't worry , Your Majesty now values ​​Lord Lin very much, and for a while, no one will be able to threaten the safety of Lord Lin."

Chen Yunjue really wanted to explain that he and Daiyu were not the kind of relationship that the elder brother wanted, but felt that this explanation was too obvious, so he simply stopped thinking about explaining, "Please trouble the elder brother."

After the matter was finished, Chen Yunju didn't leave either.

Chen Yunxian raised his eyebrows, "Is there anything else?"

"Well...it's nothing, I just want my elder brother to help me find a few suitable people to do things for me..." Chen Yun couldn't help but sigh while drinking tea, "Every time I encounter problems, I come to my elder brother. I always feel...too much trouble, big brother."

Chen Yunxian raised his eyebrows, thought for a moment, and said, "How about this, your two nurse brothers and a few servants, I will teach you for you, and let them do what you want to do later. If there's anything you can't handle, come and find Big Brother..."

After a pause, "Brother never thought it was troublesome for you to find me."

"Brother, I'm sorry." Chen Yun didn't say whether it's troublesome or not. Besides, it's estimated that the brother-in-law brother will be annoyed.

Chen Yunxian took out a wooden box from the desk drawer and handed it to Chen Yunjuan, "I know you're short on money, so use it, if it's not enough, come to me again."

Hearing this, Chen Yun knew what was inside the box even if he didn't open it.

"This... I'm at home all day, so I don't have much money to spend. Besides, although I don't have as much money as my elder brother, I'm not particularly short of money." Chen Yun refused to answer.

Chen Yunxian stuffed it into his younger brother's hands, and said with a straight face, "I'll take it if I give it to you, why are you being pretentious?"

"I'm not hypocritical." Chen Yun muttered, not daring to choke with Chen Yunxian.

Chen Yunxian said, "Okay, your sister-in-law is still waiting for me to eat, you should hurry back to study."

"Then I'm leaving." Chen Yun hurriedly said goodbye as if he was about to receive an amnesty.

Looking at the back of his younger brother leaving, Chen Yunxian shook his head.

The younger brother has also grown up and knows how to save face.

When he returned to the house, Shen patted his belly with a gentle smile on his face.

"Ayan."

Shen's boudoir name was Yanyan, Chen Yunxian felt that the word Yan fit Shen's well, so she called her Ayan.

Shen raised her head and saw Chen Yunxian standing at the door, she smiled and said, "Yun borrowed?"

"This kid knows how to be ashamed." Chen Yunxian sat down beside her, touched his swollen belly, and said, "Let's not talk about him, how do you feel recently? Is it hard? The weather is getting hotter and hotter. If you can't bear it, I'll take you to live in Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing for a while, it's cooler than the city."

Shen shook her head, "There is ice in the house, it's not that hot, so don't worry about it, you have to go to the Imperial Academy every day to check in, and it's not convenient to go to the suburbs of Beijing."

"Riding a horse is fast." Chen Yunxian said.

Shen still shook her head, "Forget it, don't bother."

Seeing that she was really unwilling, Chen Yunxian didn't insist anymore.

Accompanied Mrs. Chen for dinner, and helped his wife to walk around the garden twice to digest food before sending Mrs. Chen back to her room.

"I'm fine on my own, and there are so many people waiting for you, so go about your business and don't worry about me." Shen said.

Chen Yunxian said, "I'm going to do something in the study, and I'll be back soon."

Chen asked him to go quickly, and Chen Yunxian kissed her lightly on the forehead, "Wait for me to come back."

Seeing the back of Chen Yunxian going out, Shen's cheeks were flushed, and when she turned her head, she saw the maids standing beside them covering their mouths and sniggering.

Seeing Shen Shi looking over, he smiled and flattered her, "Uncle loves Grandma so much, he comes back from the yamen every day, and he doesn't want to leave Grandma's side at all."

Shen glared at them, "Poor mouth, go to work, don't stand here."

On the other side, after Chen Yunxian came to the study, he called Zhuo Jiamu and asked him to deal with Lin Ruhai's rumors.

Chen Yunxian didn't even need to investigate such rumors to be sure that most of them came from Jia's family.

After all, only the Jia family cared about the ownership of the dowry.

Zhuo Jiamu is very capable in handling affairs. For this kind of rumor, you only need to find a few people, edit a few words, and then spread it to offset the influence of the previous rumor.

So within two days, the entire capital knew that Lin Ruhai was cleaning up moths, in order to hand over the dead wife's dowry to the dead wife's daughter in its entirety.
