The female supporting role never believes in fate

"What did the queen mother tell you, why didn't you let me listen?"

Li Mian sent Cheng Yuguan home and asked curiously.

Cheng Yuguan touched the booklet on his sleeve, blushed a little, but shook his head calmly.

"I didn't say anything, it's just the experience of the housekeeper and director."

Seeing Cheng Yuguan's simple words, Li Mian nodded.

"Well, you two can say whatever you want, but I have become an outsider instead."

Li Mian complained.

Cheng Yuguan and the queen are very close, and there is endless talk every time.

"It's right that you are mother and daughter, and your mother should give you some dowry. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense to be so close."

Li Mian said a joke, Cheng Yuguan heard it, and only glanced at Li Mian.

Li Mian shook his head immediately, indicating that he was fine, and this was considered "dodged a catastrophe."

Only then did Cheng Yuguan speak.

"How do you know? It's just that I don't want to tell you."

Cheng Yuguan proudly looked up at the sky.

"It's said that men are very careful when it comes to dowry. I have to hide it. In case you are jealous in the future and have to mention dowry again. I'm taking precautions before it happens!"

Seeing what Cheng Yuguan said, Li Mian shook his head and smiled wryly.

"How could I do such a useless thing."

Cheng Yuguan also smiled when he heard this.

That's right, Li Mian is not such a worthless person like Cheng Hou.Spending his wife's dowry, but also trying to cover up the cover-up, so embarrassed that nothing happened.

The appearance of holding on to his face is really pitiful and hateful.

The dignified Marquis, who has been mixed up to this point, is really down and out.

...

The two chatted one after another, and returned to the gate of the mansion.

But at the gate of the mansion, I saw an unexpected person.

Cheng Yulou sat under the gate tower, no matter what the waiter tried to persuade him, he just shook his head and insisted on waiting for Cheng Yuguan to return to the mansion.

When the fourth prince's carriage stopped quietly at the gate of Cheng's mansion, Cheng Yulou was in a trance for a moment.

He thought that in front of his mansion, he saw the fifth prince's carriage again.

In the past, the fifth prince often came to pick him up in a carriage.

Blinking again, Cheng Yulou realized that he was wrong.

The fourth prince's carriage was a little less gorgeous than the fifth prince's, but a little more solemn and majestic.

And Cheng Yuguan didn't look shy and proud, but stood on the carriage with a calm expression, looking down at him.

In a blink of an eye, without waiting for the attendants to greet him, he jumped out of the carriage conveniently and walked straight in front of him.

Li Mian followed closely behind.

Looking at the appearance of "the woman sings and the husband follows", the thoughts in Cheng Yulou's heart, from questioning Cheng Yuguan to blurting out, turned into provocation in a blink of an eye.

"The eldest sister is still the most charming. The fourth prince is close at hand, and she still has time to meet the fifth prince alone. Why, my sister doesn't need the fifth prince who is in the brothel now, so she ignores the fifth prince and goes out with the fourth prince. Yes. Eldest sister is so selfish, does the fourth prince also know?"

Li Mian frowned upon hearing this.

Cheng Yulou and the Cheng family always depended on Cheng Yuguan being the Cheng family, so they treated Cheng Yuguan very casually.

If you want to ask a few questions, come over and ask a few questions.

Knowing what Cheng Yuguan is like, he still wanted to come over to vent his anger.

Seeing that Cheng Yu passed the pass smoothly, he felt uncomfortable, and wanted to drag her into the quagmire together, so that everyone would sink together to be reconciled.

Her sober and independent existence now seems to be slapping the face of the Chenghou Mansion, making them feel uncomfortable when they think about it.

Therefore, knowing that Cheng Yuguan is not easy to provoke, but still relying on the status of blood relatives, he came to provoke Cheng Yuguan.

"Miss Cheng, be careful."

Li Mian frowned and said in a deep voice.

Seeing the fourth prince Li Mian speaking, and as always, facing and defending the eldest sister.Thinking of the fifth prince's indifference towards him, the rationality in Cheng Yulou's mind was almost disconnected.

"His Royal Highness, the courtiers are also complaining for the Fourth Prince!"

"Do you know that the fifth prince went to Cheng Ji yesterday to find Cheng Yulou? She is your fiancée, but she is so close to the fifth prince. Don't you feel uncomfortable?"

"It's not convenient for you to say, I will say it for you!"

With that said, Cheng Yulou turned to look at Cheng Yuguan.

"Didn't you always look down on women who go around in the men's circle? How do you provoke others around now? Don't you know that the fifth prince is my fiancé? You provoke others like this, and you really only want to set fire to the state officials. You have the mouth to talk about others, but you don't know what to do." Speak for yourself!"

Cheng Yulou brought sparks with him when he opened his mouth, and Cheng Yuguan's good mood for a day suddenly turned sharply in front of her.

"You man, why are you talking nonsense? You are still Miss Houfu. The fifth prince took people to the brothel by himself, but he couldn't settle the matter and asked to come to our lady. You want to slander people indiscriminately. Could it be that you think our lady is easy to bully? That's why you dare to do this?"

Liu Yun couldn't bear it, and jumped out to question Cheng Yulou.

Cheng Yulou ignored it and just looked at Cheng Yuguan.

"Why, I have nothing to say, so I asked my girl to come forward? How could the Fifth Prince, with his status, ask you to come before you? Just to make excuses for yourself, you should find someone who is similar?"

Today, Cheng Yulou completely gave up on her previous ladylike dignity, and she just came here to vent.

I don't know where I got angry, and I vented it all at Cheng Yuguan.

Seeing Cheng Yulou's intention to vent, Li Mian couldn't help frowning.

The quarrel between girls, especially noble girls, has no substantive actions, just verbal, even the elders are hard to persuade, let alone him with his status.

Cheng Yuguan didn't wait for Li Mian to open his mouth, and struck the snake seven inches, killing him with a single word.

"My marriage is imminent. Your mother embezzled my mother's dowry and hopes to return it before I give it away. Otherwise, I will send the dowry list to Shuntian Mansion, and let Mr. Fuyin settle the case for me."

After Cheng Yuguan's voice fell, Cheng Yulou lost his temper in an instant.

Mouth opened, but no more venting words were spoken.

Some people quarrel, can only say false.

Because once she talked about specific events, she would be speechless.

This is the case with Cheng Yulou.

"The dowry list? These things, the originals have been destroyed long ago, and they can't be found. You are Huo's daughter, so you can't just talk about it!"

"Besides, during the Chinese New Year, the Huo family came to Chenghou's mansion, and they didn't talk about the dowry. The so-called obeying the father at home and obeying the husband when married, the Huo family and my father both said that the dowry is already a matter, why are you still so disobedient? No mercy? You are still the owner of Cheng Ji, the richer you are, the more stingy you are, and you smell like money!"

The Huo family kept a low profile.

Since coming to Beijing, it seems that he has had enough hardships at the border, so he only hangs out with some old relatives, and it is not noisy.

Presumably, they were sent to the border again because they were afraid of offending the emperor.

Cheng Yuguan is such a "popular person in front of His Majesty", they try to make friends.

But it's not too much to speculate.

The Huo family's words are involuntary, and they can only shirk their mother's affairs, and have nothing else to do.

Therefore, Cheng Yuguan never paid much attention to the Huo family.

Fortunately, although the Huo family is ruthless, they also know how to measure.Seeing that Cheng Yuguan doesn't speculate with his family members, he doesn't stalk Chenghou's mansion like a stalker, but stays away quietly by himself.

Now that Cheng Yulou mentioned the Huo family, it was obvious that he had heard the words of the Huo family and gained a little confidence.

Cheng Yu cared about being angry with Huo's family, but he didn't show it at all on his face, only a smile appeared on his face.

"Miss Cheng is talented, so why don't you say everything? Follow your father at home, husband when you get married, and son when your husband dies. My mother will die naturally, so her dowry will naturally be guarded by me, the only daughter. As for the dowry list , when I was in Chenghou Mansion, the dowry list was a backup, and the original version is still with me. Within three days, I didn’t see my mother’s complete dowry, so I handed over the original cut book to Shuntian Mansion Let the people in the capital take a good look at the future of the Chenghou Mansion!"

What Cheng Yuguan said was categorical, and Cheng Yulou's face turned pale in an instant.

She didn't expect that she just came to vent in front of Cheng Yuguan, but she seized the opportunity and asked for a dowry.

Facing Cheng Yuguan's iron face and the fourth prince's eyes, Cheng Yulou couldn't stay any longer, turned around, left the gate of General Cheng's mansion, and quickly returned home.

...

"Mother, something is wrong!"

Cheng Yulou went home and yelled, but it didn't matter, father and mother appeared from the courtyard together and looked at Cheng Yulou.

"Yulou, why is it so disrespectful. In front of your father, you are not dignified."

Cheng Hou seemed to be in a good mood, stroking his beard, "It's okay. Girls, it's best to be lively at home. Serious like... is boring."

Cheng Hou seemed to be thinking of Cheng Yuguan, and covered it vaguely.

Seeing Master Hou talking about Cheng Yuguan, Yang quickly changed the topic.

"Master Hou, it's towards Yulou. When she becomes the Fifth Prince's Concubine, why don't you make such fuss?"

Speaking of the title of "Five Princes and Concubines", Cheng Fangchuan also looked proud.

Since ancient times, the name of the emperor's relatives and relatives, who would not yearn for it?

From now on, even if he doesn't study hard in his official career, no one will rely on his high position and power to order him as a marquis.

Cheng Fangchuan's thoughts are so simple.

Although he looked at Cheng Liuchuan's position with envy, he also understood that he himself absolutely did not have this ability.

Now that he has become the father of the princess and concubine, he will no longer be judged or criticized in private or publicly.

"Father, mother, Cheng Yuguan has given us three days to return the late wife's dowry!"

Seeing that his parents were still joking and didn't know the seriousness of the matter, Cheng Yulou couldn't help but whispered hastily.

Sure enough, upon hearing Cheng Yulou's words, the relaxed smiles on Yang's and Cheng Hou's faces disappeared instantly.

Yang was even more anxious.

"Why did she tell the story again?"

Yang pulled Cheng Yulou to ask.

Cheng Yulou was embarrassed to say that he provoked Cheng Yuguan and gave Cheng Yuguan a chance to push the boat.

Instead, avoid the important and ignore the minor, only emphasizing the seriousness of the incident.

"Cheng Yuguan still said it in front of the fourth prince. I'm afraid this time, he can't be fooled like before."

"and…"

"And what, you finish it all at once!"

Yang pulled Cheng Yulou and said anxiously.

With hatred in Cheng Yulou's tone, he glanced at his father before continuing.

"The dowry list, she said, what she left in our house is just a copy. The real original is still in her hands. If she can't return the dowry in time, she will hand over the dowry list to Shuntian Mansion! "

When Cheng Fangchuan heard it, his eyes turned black and his scalp tingled, as if he foresaw the scene where he was being pointed at and ridiculed in the court.

Cheng Fangchuan, whose face darkened more and more, flicked his sleeves one last time.

"Since your mother and daughter provoked this matter, you mother and daughter will deal with the aftermath. I don't care about it!"

With that said, Cheng Fangchuan was about to leave and hide like before.

However, Yang's eyes were sharp and his hands were quick to grab Cheng Hou.

Now that she is the mother of the future fifth concubine, she also has some confidence to face Cheng Hou.

For a while, she met Cheng Hou's angry eyes, but she didn't relax her hands.

"Master Hou, my sister's dowry is too much and too complicated. I'm afraid it's powerless to rely on our family. Why don't Master Hou invite the Huo family to come over and compare it. In this way, it will also be an explanation for Yuguan."

The Huo family is easy to talk about now, so Yang boldly thought of this method.

If Mrs. Xian's elder brother and husband deny it, Cheng Yuguan will not be able to make any trouble with the dowry list alone!

Yang's head turned quickly, and Cheng Hou didn't panic much.

In a blink of an eye, he thought of the low-key General Huo, his face changed from cloudy to sunny again, and he looked at Yang and said in approval.

"You're right. Brother Huo, now he's a quiet and trouble-free character, not as manic as he was when he was young. If he comes forward, there will be no turning point."

In this way, Yang's mother and daughter looked at Cheng Fangchuan's back with hope, hoping that he would go out to find Huo's and bring good news.

...

It’s different in the past.

In the past, Cheng Yuguan was alone, so he could take whatever he wanted to get rid of.

But now, Cheng Yuguan is the future concubine of the fourth prince.

If she came forward to ask for the dowry again, she would not only represent herself, but also represent the royal family.

If the Chenghou Mansion continues to fool around at will at this time, wouldn't it be a crime of deceiving the emperor?

Moreover, Cheng Yuguan's request for the Huo family's dowry at this time must be to bring it into the royal family.

With this name, how can the Chenghou Mansion be fooled?Isn't that competing with the royal family?

"Mother! Cheng Yuguan must have done it on purpose! She must have planned a long time ago to take this opportunity to get back the dowry before marrying into the royal family! I went to Cheng's house this time, but it was a moth to the flame, and I thought I was out of luck." !"

Cheng Yulou refused to admit that he was looking for something to do first, and after Cheng Yuguan took the opportunity to ask for the dowry, he turned black and white with his mother, saying that Cheng Yu cared deeply and waited for this opportunity to get the dowry back.

The dowry of Mrs. Huo's family has penetrated into every corner of the Hou's mansion over the years.

If they go back, it's no less than peeling off the Hou's mansion.

For Cheng Fangchuan and Yang Shi, who love face, this is naturally a heartache.

What's more, there is an old lady who regards money as her life!
If something enters her private treasury, don't even try to take it out again!
Huo's good things, a small part of them were sent by the old lady to her own warehouse, and she was fondling and admiring them every day. At this moment, unless the guillotine of the Hou's residence was hanging above her head, otherwise, there was no way for the old lady to take the things out!
Otherwise, with the old lady's belongings on top, at least [-]% of the dowry can be collected, and when the time comes, I will give in to Cheng Yuguan.With her current wealth, she won't be able to hold onto her.

Thinking of this, Yang's eyes turned to the old lady's courtyard, his eyes flickering.
