Improper cannon fodder for fast wear

Chapter 3398 Ancient Orphans 3
An Ran naturally didn't want to know how much property she had. After all, if she didn't tell others, she didn't even know her own situation. It would be too muddled.

So An Ran still wanted to know about her family background, if it was too much, then she could lie flat, if it was too little, she would have to earn a little bit, after all, too little, if she wanted to live a good life in the future, she would not be able to live without money.

With the help of the Lu family, the original dowry was returned a bit, but because the little girl was young back then, Mrs. Lu was afraid that she would take care of the dowry, so that the slaves would not get rid of everything, so the fields and houses, etc. She asked her confidant to take care of it—originally she wanted Mrs. Lu to take care of it, but Mrs. Lu was afraid that it would be thankless to take care of the original dowry, so she refused on the grounds that she was busy with housework, so These things are all managed by Mrs. Lu.

Mrs. Lu will definitely not cheat Yuanshen. Her confidants may not be very good at managing things. Yuanshen may not get much from those fields and houses, but she should not lose money, so she puts them with Mrs. Lu. Still don't worry too much.

In addition to these fields and houses, Yuan Chen's mother's dowry also had a lot of jewellery, jewellery, and silver boxes. Mrs. Lu handed over these things to Yuan Shen, who let him use them himself.

So Anran practiced for a while now, and Mei Lan came in with lunch. After eating lunch, Anran began to count the jewelries and silver in the dowry list that had been sorted out two days ago.

These silver boxes of jewelry in Shen's mother's dowry are managed by Shen's mother's confidant, Mama, who is now following the original Mama.

Although Mei Lan is Yuanshen's close maid, she manages hairpins, bracelets and baths, and there are also jewelry among them, but those are Yuanshen's own jewelry, most of which were given to her by her family since she was a child, and the number is limited. The original body remembered that An Ran had checked them one by one, and there was nothing missing, which was normal, and it was used in front of his eyes every day, who dared to stretch out his hand, could see it at a glance.

Seeing An Ran opening Shen's mother's dowry box and preparing to count the jewels and silver in the box, Mama Mama couldn't help but panic flashed across her face, but she immediately calmed down.

An Ran saw it, but pretended not to see it, and didn't ask questions right away.

Soon An Ran took stock of those jewelries and jewellery.

Then I found that there was a lot less jewelry, and even the silver box was less than 2000 taels.

Immediately, An Ran asked Mother Ma what was going on.

Mama Ma collected herself and said, "It was taken away by your aunt and aunt."

An Ran said: "I remember my parents' property at that time, they did take it away, and the dowry also took a lot of things, but basically it was the farm shop, like jewelry, they didn't take it, because they thought my mother was short-lived Ghost, it's unlucky to ask for these personal items, I heard half of the box silver was taken away, so there should be 4000 taels here, why is it only 2000 taels?"

When Mrs. Lu married her daughter, she was dowry with 8000 taels of silver. At that time, the Jing'an Hou Mansion was in full swing, and the 8000 taels of silver didn't need to be touched by the public money. Madam Lu's private house could afford it.

Then I also gave a lot of jewelry, and Shen’s mother bought some more when she married into the Shen family. These, because Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Shen are very taboo about wearing close-fitting clothes, so they didn’t take them. Among the property taken away, the only one increased.

——Mother Shen should know that the sister-in-law treated her daughter like this. She probably spent all her money on jewelry at that time, and wore it in different styles every day. At that time, Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Shen would be jealous and dare not want those jewelry. It will all be left to her daughter, and it will not be like now, her own property will be wiped out by the two families.

Although it was true in ancient times that the property belonged to the clan, it was fine to take away Shen's father's property. Generally decent families would not take the dowry of the foreign daughter-in-law and not leave it to the orphan.

The Shen family is not a poor family, but it is so greedy that they even took the dowry of an orphan girl's dead mother. The original body took over to live, after all, they are so shameless, and they left their granddaughter in the Shen family, fearing that the granddaughter will die of illness one day, and then completely occupy her last bit of money.

This kind of thing, in the lower class, some people are really desperate like this, not to mention that an orphan girl will be treated like this, some people, even if they have sons, others will kill the orphans in order to take their money , even if the mother of the orphan is still there, and the remaining orphans and widows are killed, they will be killed for the sake of killing them.

Sometimes, people's greed is terrible.

Of course, most people would not be vicious to such an extent, but judging from the actions of the eldest and third householders of the Shen family, they might be one of the few vicious people, so Mrs. Lu had to be on guard, so she took the original Received a foreign life.

After hearing An Ran's words, Mama Ma didn't expect that the little master, who was sad before, would still remember these things. She was a little panicked at that time, but she still said stubbornly: "It is indeed your aunt and third aunt who took the money. Let's go, but you don't have to confront them, they will definitely not admit it."

Ma Momo was afraid that Anran would confront them, although she felt that Shen Anran was not that bold, but in case, Ma Momo applied this patch so that Shen Anran would not ask.

If it was Yuanshen, after hearing what Mama Ma said, she might really dare not say anything more, because Yuanshen is pure and at the same time afraid of her two aunts and aunts who are not easy to mess with.

It's a pity that An Ran is not the original body, so she won't be fooled by her, so she went directly to Mrs. Lu and told Mrs. Lu about it, saying that she was young and inexperienced, and didn't know what to do about it. How to deal with it, let Mrs. Lu help to come up with an idea.

Mrs. Lu didn't know the mystery of this, so she couldn't help but slapped the table and said angrily: "What a slave, dare to make such nonsense! When I came out of the Shen's house, how many things did I take with me? Statistics! If there is less of this, it must be the slave who got away! Someone, tie up the slave, and if you don’t spit out Ranran’s things, you will be tied to the yamen directly!”

Soon someone tied up Mama Mama.

When Mother Ma saw Mrs. Lu, she knelt down in fright and begged for mercy.

She dared to lie to An Ran because she felt that An Ran was easy to deceive, so she dared to say that.

But Mrs. Lu is an old man with many years of experience. How can she be fooled by her experience?

So before An Ran ignored her, and went out to find Mrs. Lu, Mamo Ma was scared at that time. Now that Mrs. Lu really caught her, she didn't dare to talk nonsense. In order to save her life, she didn't dare to quibble. , only dare to beg for mercy.
