On the wedding night of rebirth, the sickly prince was captured by me

Chapter 73 Recapturing the Dowry
The air froze in an instant, and it was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

"Qin'er, didn't you just learn a piece of music recently? Play it for the prince to listen to." Chu Shengwen said with a smile on his face.

"Yes." Chu Qin nodded obediently.

Sitting down in front of the guqin, the slender and white jade fingers caressed the strings, rubbed them lightly and picked them again.

The melodious sound of the piano came out, with tenderness and affection, and each note was long and long.

Chu Qin stared straight at Mu Jinchuan with unscrupulous eyes.

Dressed in red, she looks like a fairy, and with the melodious sound of the piano, it makes people even more intoxicated.

After the song was over, Chu Qin stood up and saluted.

"Not bad, Qin'er, your piano skills have improved a lot." Chu Sheng praised.

"I've had nothing to do recently, I've practiced more." Chu Qin said softly.
-
Hearing this, Chu Sheng glanced at Mu Jinchuan and said with a smile, "Luoyi is back home today, have you met her? You two sisters haven't seen each other for a long time, it's time to catch up.

"Hmm." Chu Qin nodded obediently.

"My lord, what do you think of the piano music just now?" Chu Sheng asked Mu Jinchuan.

Mu Jinchuan nodded and said, "Not bad."

"My niece has been practicing the piano since she was a child, and I don't know how much she has endured." Hearing this, Chu Sheng praised, with a smile on his face, and the wrinkles on his face were filled with smiles.

"He also has the mildest temper. My younger brother was afraid that she would suffer in the countryside, so he sent her to me."

As he said that, he winked at Chu Qin, "Qin'er, hurry up and serve tea to the prince."

"Yes." Chu Qin's cheeks were reddish, Rou Ning picked up the teapot, and leaned over to pour tea for Mu Jinchuan.

That delicate body was tightly attached to Mu Jinchuan's body, touching it intentionally or unintentionally.

"My lord, please." Holding the teacup, she looked charming and charming, with shy and affectionate eyes.

Mu Jinchuan still didn't speak, nor did he answer.

Chu Qin glanced at Chu Sheng, got a signal, and stepped forward to put the teacup in front of Mu Jinchuan.

"Miss Chu grew up in the countryside?" Mu Jinchuan asked in a low voice.

"Yes." Chu Qin nodded with joy on his face.

"It's fine if you don't know the rules in the countryside. Since you come to the capital, you should abide by the rules of the capital." Mu Jinchuan's voice was alienated and indifferent, implying, "Women in the boudoir should abide by etiquette."

After saying that, Chu Qin felt ashamed, her eye circles turned red instantly, and she glanced at Chu Sheng with grievance, "Uncle, I..."

Before the words were spoken, the big teardrops fell down.

She covered her face and ran away.

Chu Sheng's face was pale and extremely ugly.

"This king has never been to Pingkanghou's mansion, but I don't know that Lord Hou is so kind and tolerant to the people in the mansion." Mu Jinchuan sneered.

Immediately he stood up, "Your Majesty, don't call the concubine again in the future, my prince's people always run around and don't worry."

Originally thinking that Chu Qin would take away Chu Luoyi's place in Mu Jinchuan's heart, Chu Sheng never expected that Mu Jinchuan would like Chu Luoyi so much, which made him angry all of a sudden.

Chu Sheng was also taken aback immediately, not knowing what to do.

Just then, a servant came running in a hurry.

"Master Hou, go to the storeroom and have a look, miss... Miss is checking the storeroom."

Chu Sheng's expression suddenly changed.

warehouse.

Chu Luoyi and Yun Chen came to the warehouse of Pingkanghou Mansion and began to check the dowry of Mrs. Xianhou.

"Brother, take a look at these." Chu Luoyi pointed to the jewelry fabrics on the gift list, "A lot are missing."

"After the adoptive mother passed away, the dowry fell into Lan's hands, and they probably squandered a lot of the huge Pingkanghou Mansion," Yun Chen said.

"Let's check the dowry in the treasury first, and then see how much is missing." Chu Luoyi said with a slightly cold face.

"Okay." Yun Chen nodded.

Looking at the long list of gifts, Chu Luoyi's face became more and more serious, and her heart became colder by inch.

She originally thought about taking back the dowry slowly, but she didn't expect that the Lan family would be greedy for so much, and her mother's dowry was suddenly reduced by half.

"Brother, take away your mother's dowry, it was originally left to you by your mother." Chu Luoyi thought about it.

If she kept it in her hands, she would also take it to the palace.

She will also leave in the future, and it is not convenient to take it with her, so it is better to give it to Yun Chen.

"Okay." Yun Chen complied calmly, with a slight smile on his warm face, "If you need it in the future, I will give it to you."

"Let's keep brother Lin'an. When I need it, I will go to see him." Chu Luoyi smiled, feeling warm in her heart.

"Okay." Yun Chen smiled warmly.

After the two checked one place, they asked people to move the things out.

Although Aunt Lan used up a lot of the dowry, the rest should not be underestimated.

After all, the Bai family back then was the richest man in the Yun Dynasty, and even in the royal family, they were able to stand firm.

The butler craned his neck to peer inside.

All I saw were boxes of dowry carried out of the warehouse and piled up on the aisle outside.

It's over.

He tapped his left hand on the palm of his right angrily, and sighed heavily.

How can this be good?
"Quick! Go and call Master and Aunt Lan over here!"

He hurriedly pushed the boy to go quickly.

Chu Luoyi is making such a fuss.

He suppressed his desire to go in and look, and stretched his neck to look into the distance.

At this time, the conversation started from far to near.

Chu Luoyi and Yun Chen walked out of the warehouse one after the other. "... Make it clear."

A few intermittent words fell into my ears, like thunder, and the housekeeper almost jumped up.

"Miss..."

He smiled apologetically, trying to stop them from letting go.

Chu Luoyi glanced over with a cold look.

His expression froze, and he only dared to follow them as a tail.

He tried his best to say something, but his brain seemed to be disconnected, and he couldn't think of a good word.

"This... should I wait for the master to come?"

Chu Luoyi's complexion was like the frost of winter, and there was a smile that was not a smile: "I want to have a good talk with him."

When the butler heard that Chu Luoyi was going to see the master, he breathed a sigh of relief, before he could put his mind to rest, he listened to her again. "Come here, put these into the carriage first."

The butler panicked and hurriedly looked at the guard.

The guards lifted the box one after the other and walked out.

The housekeeper wished he could rush forward and snatch the box from them.

If something is going to be lost, the master must beat him to death.

"Miss, master, master hasn't come yet..." Yun Chen looked at the smiling butler, frowning secretly.

Chu Luoyi's expression was even worse, she squinted her eyes: "Get out of here."

"Yes Yes……"

The cold sweat on the butler's forehead slid down his cheeks, and he hurriedly took out his handkerchief to wipe it off.

Master, why haven't they come yet!
"stop!"

Her delicate voice was like the sound of nature, and she rescued the butler from the predicament.

Chu Luoyi raised her eyes and saw that Aunt Lan came in a hurry with Chu Weier's support, anxious in her heart, and threw the handkerchief she was holding in an arc. "Let it all go!"

Several servants she brought blocked the door to prevent the guards from passing: "Miss, what are you doing?"

Aunt Lan's voice was soft, as if scolding a disobedient child.

"You are gracious to King Jin. You are a concubine, but you are also the daughter of the Hou Mansion. You grew up here since you were young, and the Hou Mansion will always be your home. Although you have changed your mind a lot when you come back these few times, you always quarrel with the prince. , and don’t like me as an aunt, but it’s okay, you are the daughter of the Hou family, it’s normal to have a little temper..."

"But this time, it's really too much. Why did you report the things from Pingkanghou's mansion? You... Miss, you will go back to the Hou's mansion. Although your natal family is not as good as Wang's mansion, it is your second home. You moved everything away and didn't care about your mother's family at all?"

In just a few words, Chu Luoyi was described as a person who didn't know etiquette, didn't know how to be grateful, had high eyes but low hands, climbed up to Queen Jin, and took everything there, but didn't want to help her mother's family.

The Marquis of Pingkang raised a white-eyed wolf!
Yun Chen couldn't see Luo Yi being wronged, the noise was like ice:
"Aunt Lan... is that right? You used to rely on Luo Yi's good temper and manipulated it at will. Needless to say, such dirty things, is it because Luo Yi is not polite, or because you didn't get any favors and became angry from embarrassment? Besides, these things It’s not something from the Pingkanghou Mansion.”

Aunt Lan squeezed her handkerchief tightly, and her smile was far-fetched: "Mr. Yun rarely returns to the capital, and he doesn't know the inside story. I think he listened to one-sided words and misunderstood the government..."

Chu Wei'er also said: "You are a businessman, how do you know the twists and turns in this place?"

Seeing from the corner of the eye that the guard was still about to make a move, he scolded, "If you move out of this yard today, I will definitely ask you to return ten times the items in my house!"

The guards all looked at Chu Luoyi, waiting for her order.

"Open the box."

Chu Luoyi ordered in a deep voice.

The guard took off the lock without hesitation, revealing the contents inside.

Pearl agate, emerald jade, red sandalwood carvings, begonia corolla, blue and white eight-treasure flat bottle, all kinds of rare and rare things are eye-catching.

Aunt Lan's heart sank to the bottom.

Bai's dowry!
She wished she could pounce on it and cover it up.

Sure enough, she heard Chu Luoyi say: "I can't bear such a big hat of Aunt Lan to put on my head. Come, come and have a look, which one is inside, and which one is not my mother's dowry?"

There was indifference in Chu Luoyi's eyes, ""I can't take my mother's dowry too seriously, or should I say that my mother's dowry has become your private property, can't it? ? "

Aunt Lan's eyes showed a hint of viciousness, she should have tried to kill her in the first place!
The beautiful face showed surprise and bewilderment, as well as the tolerance and generosity of watching the child's mischief.

"Luoyi, what are you talking about? It's fine if you hate me. The master and you are a family, so what's the difference? You put the mistress' things here, and the master keeps them for you. What's wrong with you? not worried?"

Aunt Lan's voice was soft and weak, and the servant looked at Chu Luoyi with a strange look.

I didn't expect Missy to be such a person.

"Who can tell."

Chu Luoyi shook the gift list in her hand, and spread it out towards them. The dowry items were clearly visible, and everyone could see how rich they were, and they were not proportional to the quantity on the ground.

"Some people's hands are not clean, and my mother's dowry items are a lot less. What will Aunt Lan say about this? Since you are not greedy for my mother's things, let's figure it out. Where are those things?" Looking at Chu Luo Yi held the gift list in his hand.

Aunt Lan panicked and was at a loss.

I almost couldn't control it and rushed forward, tearing up the gift list!
Bai Feiluan!
It must be Bai Feiluan.

After Bai's death, she took away the gift list and hid it.

I searched for it for a long time, but I couldn't find it.She actually gave the gift list to Chu Luoyi!
Aunt Lan was extremely dissatisfied with Bai Feiluan.

"Miss said this..."

Aunt Lan forced a smile, almost forcing a sound through her teeth.

Chu Luoyi looked at her coldly, the coldness in her eyes could be seen clearly.

"Aunt Lan."

This dowry list was already brought by Chu Luoyi from her aunt Su.

Taking advantage of today, the right time and place.

Mu Jinchuan was also there.

Pingkanghou Mansion must spit out what they ate.

"It's really unclear, and I don't mind accompanying you to the Yamen." Chu Luoyi was shameless, they want more!
If it comes to the Yamen, the Pingkanghou Mansion will lose all face!
Chu Wei'er stared at Chu Luoyi fiercely, very angry.

Those things are reserved for her as a dowry!
Pingkanghou's mansion sounds pretty, but it's just a new rich man with no wealth at all!
She gave the maid a look.

Hurry up and call your father!
Today, I must kill Chu Luoyi's vigor!
"Sister, what you said is wrong. How can outsiders meddle in our family's private affairs?"

The servant girl received the cue from her eyes, and while others were not paying attention, she backed away quietly, and before she slipped out, she saw the figure of the master.

"master!"

She couldn't help but call out.

Aunt Lan and Chu Wei'er also beamed with joy when they heard this.

Chu Luoyi don't try to please her this time!
With confidence, they straightened their backs and were no longer as isolated and helpless as before.

Aunt Lan wiped her tears and said softly:
"If I had offended the eldest lady before, I would like to apologize. It's fine if the eldest lady wants to move the things in the Hou's mansion, but she still has to go outside..."

Chu Wei'er also said: "Father, please persuade sister quickly."

She noticed Mu Jinchuan's figure.

Chu Luoyi is tricky and savage, with a mean face, the prince must hate her!
"Bullshit!"

Chu Sheng had a sullen face, his eyes were full of dislike and anger towards Chu Luoyi.

"As soon as you came back, you started to make trouble. It's not going well here, it's not going well there, and you don't think it's enough. You have no face and skin to move things from the warehouse. Are you going to grab it!"

Looking at the boxes all over the floor, Chu Sheng's heart was bleeding.

Mu Jinchuan ignored the box.

Walking up to Chu Luoyi, he asked her if she wanted to help?
Chu Luoyi blinked, then put on a surprised expression, and said in shock:
"I took back my mother's dowry, what kind of robbery?"

Chu Sheng scolded: "As the mistress, she thinks about her children. There are other children in the house, and the other children have to pay a sum of money for their marriage leave. Luo Yi, how did you develop such a selfish temperament? Don't think about your younger siblings at all!"

The astonishment on Chu Luoyi's face deepened, and even sarcasm was about to overflow.

"Shouldn't the Hou's family provide the dowry and dowry for the marriage of the children of the Hou's mansion? Shouldn't the dowry of the deceased head mother be used to subsidize the Hou's mansion?"

She suddenly realized.

"Oh, by the way, when I got married, the Marquis's House was in a difficult situation. There was no dowry, and all I used was my mother's dowry. As a legitimate daughter, I saved it so much. My sister and the others won't need much dowry in the future, right?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Chu Sheng subconsciously looked at Mu Jinchuan.

Mu Jinchuan's face darkened, and he swept his eyes sharply. "Master Hou, is there such a thing?"

"My lord, don't listen to Luo Yi's nonsense, she doesn't understand many things, there is a misunderstanding here."

Chu Sheng smiled apologetically, and secretly scolded Chu Luoyi for being ignorant, and dared to say anything in front of the prince.

"Could I be wrong?" Chu Luoyi pretended to be surprised,

"Didn't my father still say just now that he wants to leave his mother's dowry and marry his younger siblings? I don't think I can get the same good as a legitimate daughter. As a concubine, my younger siblings can't possibly surpass me, right?"

Chu Sheng wanted to gag her.

"My sister's words are so unreasonable. Who doesn't expect my sister to marry a good family, my sister is really uncomfortable."

Chu Wei'er Lihua choked up like rain, and subconsciously asked the prince for help, but Mu Jinchuan didn't even look at her.
