After hearing the cause and effect, Lin Mao glanced at Mr. Cao who was sitting next to him and asked: "The princess is in charge of the middle feed, how should we deal with this matter?"

Cao's palms tightened. Although Lin Mao was asking for her opinion, his tone was not very friendly.

She was in charge of the middle feed, and these people secretly tried to squeeze Yang Mu because they looked at her as the mistress. If she could not keep these people, her mistress's prestige would be compromised.

Ms. Cao forced out a smile and said: "According to the rules of the palace, each servant will be charged thirty pieces for fighting. It's just... the Crown Princess just got married yesterday, so we shouldn't blame her dowry, but It’s not easy for those in power to blame one party..."

Lin Mao held back his anger and stared into Cao's eyes, waiting for her next words.

Ms. Cao paused and then said, "How about deducting three months' monthly salary?"

Lin Mao snorted coldly from his nose and said: "What an impartial princess! What if the servants in Chengqiyuan are lazy and disrespectful to their master?"

Ms. Cao pondered slightly and said, "Your Majesty, one slap can't make a sound!"

Lin Mao didn't expect that in front of him, Mr. Cao could defend his shortcomings with such righteous words, and the anger in his eyes was no longer concealed.

He waved his hand and said: "All the servants of Prince Ding who participated in the fight in Chengqiyuan will be driven out of Chengqiyuan with thirty big sticks, and will be assigned to another place by Butler Feng! The imperial concubine has done a good job in dowry and protecting the master, and every I’ll reward you with three months’ worth of money!”

Mrs. Cao couldn't hold it back, stood up and exclaimed: "Your Majesty!"

This is tantamount to a slap in the face of her mistress!
Lin Qiuchen also stood up in surprise and said anxiously: "Father!" He was so close to saying "You are so stupid!"

Lin Mao's tone did not allow for negotiation and he directly gave the order to Butler Feng.

Butler Feng immediately agreed, sighing in his heart that the princess was too impatient and wanted to suppress the princess as a daughter-in-law early, but it backfired and offended the prince.

Lin Mao ignored the angry Cao mother and daughter, turned to look at Yang Mu, and asked, "My daughter-in-law, do you think this is appropriate?"

What else is Yang Mu dissatisfied with?He nodded and said: "Father is fair."

Lin Mao comforted him: "Daughter-in-law, don't worry. I've asked Mr. Ming to investigate the futon matter. I'm afraid there will be news soon."

Lin Maodu said this, and Yang Mu stopped making trouble.

After Lin Mao left, the original servants of Chengqiyuan were also taken away to make boards.

Yang Mu ordered him to select some people from the Yang family's dowry to enter the Chengqi courtyard.

When he returned to the second courtyard, Lin Xiao looked at Yang Mu funny and said, "My wife's acting skills are much better than my husband's."

The image of a man who cries, makes trouble and hangs himself is vividly portrayed.

Yang Mu knew that Lin Xiao was teasing her, and said helplessly: "There are too many things going on. We can't remove those eyeliners slowly, we can only cut through the mess quickly."

Even if some methods are tough, they can only be so.

Lin Xiao poured her a cup of tea and asked, "Too many things?"

While drinking tea, Yang Mu looked up at him and asked, "Did you know that I went to the palace once before I got married?"

Lin Xiao nodded and said, "I have met the Empress Dowager and Concubine Shu."

Yang Mu turned to look at Daishan. Daishan understood and retreated with the maids.

Yang Mu waited until there were only two people in the room before he said, "The Empress Dowager has entrusted me with something."

Then, she told the story that the Queen Mother did not believe that Princess Xian Ding died in childbirth and asked her to investigate.

Lin Xiao was silent for a long time, then sighed softly and said, "Mumu, this matter has been around for a long time. When I became an adult, I also investigated it, but I didn't find even a trace."

Yang Mu asked: "I remember you said that you have a wet nurse? Why didn't you see her?"

According to the rules of the aristocratic family, the nannies of the young masters will take on the management of the courtyard after the young masters grow up, and will be a relatively detached existence in the entire courtyard.

But she has never seen the nanny Lin Xiao talked about since she got married yesterday.

Lin Xiao said: "Mother Sha was caught in the wrong by Cao ten years ago and sold out. I only found her a few years ago. She was very ill at the time and was already on her deathbed. She couldn't even say a single sentence. Not left." Yang Mu sighed. It seemed that finding a breakthrough from Lin Xiao's nanny was no longer possible.

Lin Xiao stretched out his hand, took Yang Mu's hand, looked at her earnestly, and said: "Actually, it was not just the Empress Dowager who was suspicious, the former old housekeeper Qi Bo was also suspicious and investigated. It's just that at that time, the Cao family valued him The people who gave the dowry gradually ignored Uncle Qi. Later, they used Uncle Qi's old age as an excuse and asked him to go to Zhuangzi to take care of his old age."

After a pause, he said: "Perhaps Uncle Qi knows something."

Yang Mu's eyes lit up and he asked, "Where is Uncle Qi now?"

Lin Xiao smiled bitterly and said: "In Cao's dowry village, Daiyun Villa."

Yang Mu frowned slightly, it turned out to be Cao's dowry villa, so it would not be so easy for them to get close.

Lin Xiao said: "The most troublesome thing is the father. He never lets anyone mention the matter of his mother and concubine. So you can't ask for someone from him."

Yang Mu thought for a while and said, "Since we can't investigate openly, then we can do it secretly."

With her current second-grade skills, let alone being a dowry to Zhuangzi, she is not out of bounds in the imperial palace.

Lin Xiao rubbed Yang Mu's hand apologetically and said, "I have no inner strength now and can't accompany you. It's better to wait for a few days..."

Yang Mu shook his head and said, "We can't wait any longer."

She couldn't always stay away from the military camp. After settling the matters here, she still had to go back to the Suzaku Army.

Lin Xiao obviously guessed Yang Mu's thoughts, sighed inwardly, and raised his voice to call someone.

"Muchen."

There was the sound of wood dust outside the window.

"Master."

Lin Xiao said: "When the time comes, you will accompany the Crown Princess and make sure to ensure her safety."

Just as Mu Chen responded, Yang Mu smiled and said, "You want a fourth-grade person to protect a second-grade person?"

Lin Xiaoxiao: "For emergencies, I'm afraid that your level [-] response may not be as good as Mu Chen's level [-] reaction ability."

Seeing that Yang Mu was about to pout, Lin Xiao hurriedly explained: "Mu Chen is a secret guard. How to hide his whereabouts is his specialty."

Yang Mu thought about it and it was right. She was indeed not a second-grade opponent against a fourth-grade fighter, but she couldn't be complacent because she had a specialization in the art.

After the matter was settled, Lin Xiao took her to the closet, took out two boxes and placed them on the table beside him, gesturing for her to open them and take a look.

Yang Mu opened the two boxes and was stunned.

A box was filled with papers, including an unknown number of house deeds and land deeds.

Another box is full of keys.

Looking at Yang Mumeng's expression, Lin Xiao smiled and explained: "Half of these house deeds and land deeds are in the capital, and half are outside the capital. These keys are the keys to two banks and several bank vaults."

Yang Mu looked at Lin Xiao blankly and asked, "Is this... all the dowry of the late princess?"

Lin Xiao nodded and said: "That's not all. When I was young, I was deceived by the Cao family and took away a lot of money. Some of it was already exchanged for money by her."

Yang Mu knew that the late princess's biological mother was from the richest Bai family, and also knew that the late princess's dowry was astonishing, but he didn't know that there was a bank and a bank!

Lin Xiao pushed the two boxes in front of Yang Mu and said, "Madam, all my husband's wealth will be left to you to take care of now."

Yang Mu originally thought that her dowry was enough to scare people, but compared with all the dowry, it was probably not as good as the two boxes in front of her.

She felt a little heavy in her heart.

These two boxes were Lin Xiao's expectations for her, and they were also Lin Xiao's trust in entrusting her fortune.
