After rebirth, the violent prince waited online for the princess to reconcile and divorce.

Chapter 37 Seizing Power
Mrs. Song felt panicked ever since she heard Xie Lingyu mention the word dowry.

After hearing what she said, I was even more at a loss.

She just hoped that the old lady would ignore this matter.

After all, the old lady clearly wanted to confiscate Xie Lingyu's private treasury.

"I remember that before I got married, the old lady promised me that all the dowry would go into my private treasury and would not be confiscated by the family."

Xie Lingyuyan smiled at Yan Yan.

The old lady was silent for two seconds.

"Could it be that the maid in your yard tampered with it?"

"When I was in Xie's Mansion, I developed a habit. Every time I opened a private treasury and took out something, I had to record it in a register. There was a list of everything and who took it."

Xie Lingyu turned around and said, "Taoyue, show the booklet to the old lady."

Taoyue turned out a thick book.

Mrs. Song's eyes widened.

How can there be such a thing?

Grandma Zhou never said she had told her.

At this time, Mrs. Song only hated that she was in good health.

You can't just faint.

Xu Yinghuai noticed that his mother beside him was trembling.

The old lady took the book, looked at it twice, and then closed it.

She looked towards Xu Yinghuai and said in a deep voice: "Here, please take the prince to the ancestral hall first."

He still shouldn't know about these things.

Xu Yinghuai got a little clearer from the way the old lady looked at his mother and her mother's behavior.

Besides, he had seen that jade pillow before.

Aunt Zhou, who was beside her mother, came out of Zhilan Courtyard with it.

Xu Yinghuai said nothing and stood up to leave.

The old lady threw it and the book fell in front of Mrs. Song.

"What else do you have to say? Your name is all on it, and even your daughter-in-law's dowry is being appropriated. Is this how you manage the family?"

"I, I, I..."

Mrs. Song held the booklet and looked at the names on it, speechless.

"You only have one day..." Just as she was about to say it, the old lady thought of Song's virtue and changed her words.

"You have three days to find everything and return it to Yu'er."

"But……"

Everything else was easy to talk about, but she had already given the Xishan Picture to Mr. Fu, so how could she get it back.

"There is nothing to discuss. If you can't return everything to Yu'er in three days, don't blame me for not giving you face. You don't want to embarrass yourself in front of the children and servants in the house!"

Mrs. Song immediately fell silent.

"From now on, don't take care of the house anymore. Tomorrow you will hand over all the power in the palm to Yu'er."

Before Xie Lingyu could speak, the old lady said: "Yu'er, you are a promising person, so don't refuse. You have pity on me because of my age, so just accept."

Xu Yinghuai was punished and the lost dowry was to be returned. Xie Lingyu curled her lips and refused.

"Yes."

The old lady sighed, feeling that she had aged a lot.

"Song, please go back first."

As soon as she came out of the yard, Madam Song slapped her in the face.

"Look at what you've done!"

It actually had her name written all over it.

This made her unable to rely on it even if she wanted to.

Regardless of the pain on her face, Grandma Zhou immediately knelt down.

"The servant realizes his mistake."

Mrs. Song looked at the people around her and said, "Get up and go back to the yard."

Mrs. Song returned to Shuangmei Courtyard full of anger.

I saw Xie Ning waiting in the yard.

Mrs. Song was so angry because of Xie Lingyu that she didn't even give Xie Ning a good look.

"What are you doing?"

She still wanted to teach Aunt Zhou a lesson, but she had no time to deal with her.

"Xie Ning pays homage to Madam. May Madam be safe and sound."

Xie Ning was blessed.She got the news that Xie Lingyu was making noises about getting divorced, and wanted to go take a look.

But because of her status, she couldn't enter Guzhuyuan at all, and she wasn't suitable to get involved in this matter in public.

I originally thought about going to Nanwuyuan to wait for the prince to come back and ask for news.

Passing by Shuangmei Courtyard on the way, she thought about it. It was better to meet the Crown Prince at this pass than to meet Madam Hou and try to please him.

So he waited in the courtyard for Mrs. Song to come back.

Mrs. Song looked Xie Ning up and down.

Although she is not as handsome as Lingyu, she is still a pretty woman.

After all, she was the biological mother of Brother Qi and Sister Huan, and Huai'er was fond of her.

Thinking of my two smart and lovely grandchildren.

Mrs. Song also had a somewhat good look on her face.

The previous anger because Xie Ning insisted on moving into the mansion has dissipated a bit.

"It's been a lot of hard work for you in the past few years, raising two children."

Xie Ning lowered his head and smiled, "Everything is what Ning'er should do. How can I work hard for the sake of the prince?"

When she said this, Mrs. Song was even more satisfied.

Xie Lingyu wanted to divorce because of a trivial matter. She was a legitimate daughter, but she seemed not as sensible as this concubine.

"Come here, show Miss Xie San some tea."

Xie Ning pursed her lips and smiled: "Madam, just call me Ning'er."

Mrs. Song waved her hand, "Ning'er, come forward and let me take a good look."

Stepping forward and looking at it carefully, Mrs. Song became more and more satisfied and took off a jade bracelet from her wrist.

"Good boy, I am happy when I see you, and I will reward you with this bracelet."

Xie Ning didn’t shirk either.

Immediately took over.

Although the quality of this bracelet is not as good as the one Xie Lingyu gave her before, it was given by Brother Huai's mother after all.

This also proved that Mrs. Hou was satisfied with her.

Xie Ning felt happy.

"Madam, what happened today was my sister's fault. When I return to Zhilan Courtyard, I will admonish my sister and ask her to apologize to you and the prince."

"As it should be."

Mrs. Song frowned.

What's the point of apologizing?She still had to return those coins and treasures to Xie Lingyu.

The old lady has spoken, and now even if Xie Lingyu doesn't want it, she has to return it.

She thought of all the things Xie Lingyu had done today.

Suddenly he gritted his teeth and said, "Xie Lingyu is so sharp-tongued and can easily quote scriptures. I think Ning'er's knowledge of poetry and calligraphy must be very good, right? How does it compare to her?"

If Xie Lingyu hadn't read so many books.

How could she and Huai'er be silenced today?

Then a female poet from Roush appeared, and she started talking about the laws of this dynasty again, which really stood out to her.

She was asking casually.

Xie Ning hesitated.

She had lived in Zhuangzi since she was a child. Although the Xie family master gave her mother a lot of money, enough to hire a hundred gentlemen, the Xie family's wife also sent someone to ask her if she wanted to study in the Xie family.

But she didn’t like reading, so her mother refused.

I only had a cursory introduction to the enlightenment studies, and I only had a partial understanding of them.

Daughters from ordinary people's families are naturally no match for her.

But compared with other noble ladies in Shengjing, she is still slightly inferior, let alone compared with Xie Lingyu.

She also knew that she was completely incomparable to Xie Lingyu in this aspect.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Song also understood a lot.

She smiled and patted Xie Ning's hand.

"It is virtue for a woman to have no talent. We just need to be at home to take care of our husbands and raise our children. What's the use of studying so much? We don't have to live at home."

"After listening to Ning'er's words just now, I know that you will be a virtuous wife in the future."

Xie Ning nodded in agreement.

It's just that his face is a little ugly.

The two chatted for a while, and Mrs. Song was still thinking about how to deal with Nanny Zhou and Xi Shantu, so she sent her away.
