Husband's Volume 026: The Princess's Dowry Was Dropped

  Xue Tao was shocked, on the day when she checked her dowry, there was no such thing inside, the steward's old face suddenly fell: "This is what Wang Ye spent a lot of money to buy back, how could it be Wang Fei's dowry?"

  "Cough, cough, is that so?" Yun Chu's face changed in an instant, and she coughed twice, looking a bit embarrassed. She said awkwardly: "Could it be that I'm mistaken? I remember that my dowry also included a Qingyu Guanyin like this."

  After speaking, he put the Qingyu Guanyin back on the high case table with his hand. The housekeeper took a look and immediately let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the princess did not insist that this was hers, otherwise, even if he had ten brains, it would not be enough to be chopped by the king.

  "With a crisp sound, the clear jade shattered sound came, and Cloud Chu let go of her hand, the originally stable Qingyu Guanyin instantly fell to the ground, shattering into pieces, scattering fragments of green light everywhere. The housekeeper's eyes widened in shock, and Cloud Chu also had a surprised expression, her mouth agape, taking a long time to react, as if realizing she had done something wrong, furrowing her brow, staring at the housekeeper with a distant gaze."

  Pointing at the broken jade on the ground, he muttered to himself: "It seems like, it looks like, just now I wasn't careful enough, so it fell to the ground."

  That sound was so loud that Xue Tao's heart also trembled with it. This jade Guanyin must be very valuable, miss, why aren't you more careful?

  "Accidentally... accidentally..." The housekeeper muttered to himself, furrowing his brow, almost shedding a few tears. Inwardly lamenting, Princess, your carelessness could cost this old man's life.

  "Alright, housekeeper, don't be so upset. This thing isn't even yours, there's no need to be so distressed." Yun Chu consoled with good intentions, seemingly unable to understand the housekeeper's worries. She paused for a moment before continuing: "Besides, it's just a jade Guanyin statue. Look at how wealthy Master Wang is; even if he finds out I broke it, he won't blame me. And I didn't do it on purpose either. I believe Master Wang has the magnanimity to forgive me, so you don't need to worry about me either."

  As she spoke, the worried expression on her face instantly disappeared, and with a smile, she continued walking in. Guan stood there, stunned, and it was truly a case of one tear and one sniffle. Those who didn't know would think that this princess was very considerate, but in reality... Guan really had an urge to cry loudly, but fearing that Yun Chu would damage other items, she quickly followed up with a swift step.

  As she walked into the small room, Yun Chu suddenly stopped in her tracks, staring at the things inside the room in shock. The room was filled with glittering gold jewelry and auspicious objects, all arranged in pairs, and covered in red couplets. She thought of Ming Yuan's younger sister, Ming Xin Yue, who seemed to be getting married soon.

  Yun Chu's heart sank as she thought about it, this was probably the dowry that her brother had prepared for his sister. Although a princess' dowry is usually provided by the royal family, Ming Yuan was someone who cared deeply about appearances, so it wasn't surprising that he would prepare such a large dowry to boost his own reputation. However, this was just too extravagant.

  "Xue Tao, look, aren't these my dowry?" Yun Chu exclaimed, pulling Xue Tao along as they walked inside, pinching her palm and whispering to her: "Just answer according to my meaning."

  Xue Tao Er Ran looked at the full house of dowry, and in her heart, there was only one thought: Miss's mind is too dark, this must be worth at least 300,000 taels. She wouldn't think of swindling everything, would she? Under Yun Chu's urging, she could only look at the butler without blushing: "It seems so, I remember that pair of white jade mandarin ducks was put in by the madam herself."

  Xue Tao pointed at a pair of white jade mandarin ducks placed inside a red wooden box beside her and said with certainty.

  The housekeeper's originally furrowed brow deepened: "This is the dowry that the prince prepared for Princess Xin Yue."

  Yun Chu's expression changed instantly: "Do you think I'm still a fool? Heart Moon Princess is the Emperor's daughter, a princess of the imperial family. Even if she gets married, it would be from the Imperial Palace, not needing Ming Yuan to prepare her dowry. This is clearly stolen from my private treasury, and you dare to quibble here?"

  "Princess Xin Yue is the king's younger sister, and the king dotes on her. These dowries were all prepared by the king two days ago, it's the king's heartfelt intention for the princess." The steward was anxious, this queen really didn't play by the rules.

  Look at her attitude, she's determined that these dowry items are the ones she lost. What can be done about this? This matter has really coincided with the timing of Princess Xin Yue's upcoming wedding. If it weren't for the fact that Princess Xin Yue is getting married soon, the king wouldn't have been preparing the dowry at this time, and it just so happens to coincide with the day Queen Wang lost her dowry.

  "Does he have a conscience? Would someone like Mingyuan have a conscience? He dares to beat his wife, who was arranged by the matchmaker, and disregards his late mother's wishes. Does this kind of person have a conscience? Will he care about that younger sister?" Yun Chu sneered, with a cold glint in her eyes, staring straight at the butler.

  "That Empress asked you, the Tian Nan Kingdom came to propose a marriage, with many princesses in the imperial family. With Ming Yu's current status, he could have completely stopped this marriage, but he didn't. If he truly loved and cherished his sister, would he let her marry far away and even prepare dowry for her?"

  The clouds are layered and analyzed, winding around to guide the homeowner's thoughts.

  Affected by what she said, the housekeeper was indeed stunned for a moment. In his memory, there were not many words between Wang Ye and Princess Xin Yue. Although Wang Ye had always been extremely gentle to this younger sister, it seemed that Princess Xin Yue was very disgusted with Wang Ye...

  "So, these dowries are actually from my own small treasury. What's the point of saying they're for Princess Xin Yue's dowry? That's just an excuse." Yun Chu said resolutely, her words full of conviction.

  "In order to make my life difficult, Mingyuan really spared no effort." Yun Chu sighed and lamented for herself: "Since my dowry has been found, I should move back to the small warehouse of the original imperial concubine."

  Yun Chu said, Guan Jia was still in the clouds and fog, mainly because the procurement of dowry was handled by Wang Ye's personal guard, he did not intervene, so when Yun Chu said this, he was momentarily confused, it seemed that what Princess Wang said made sense.

  Looking at this dazzling dowry, Yun Chu suddenly shook her head again: "No, can't put it back in the small warehouse"

  Then he ordered the butler: "You go find some people, I want to exchange these things for silver tickets. This way, I won't have to worry about being stolen again. Who knows, one day my brain will be stupid again, and Mingyuan will use some excuse to move them away. It's safer with silver tickets, no one can find them if they are hidden."

  Yun Chu spoke with a somewhat stubborn tone, looking a bit childish, and an indescribable clarity that left the housekeeper momentarily stunned, before he walked away to find someone.

  "Is this okay too?" Xue Tao was shocked, she found that after Miss woke up, many things really couldn't be inferred according to common sense.
