The emperor's uncle is the only favorite: the mysterious doctor's crazy concubine is going

Chapter 54 Asking for the dowry back
  Shen Zhuoxi had known for a long time that there was nothing left of Princess Xiaoqing's dowry. Seeing that the old lady didn't answer, she pretended not to know and looked at the old lady expectantly.
  Shen Heshan is the prince's teacher, and every word and deed is of vital importance. Apart from his salary and the rewards given by the emperor, he has no other income, and he does not even dare to accept more from the gifts given by the officials.
  However, his family was in a prosperous city, and all the favors he had with him were from the royal family, relatives, high-ranking officials and nobles, so he couldn't lose his status.
  In recent years, Han Xiangru's mother's family has provided money and helped in her name.
  The huge Taishi Mansion looks impressive, but actually it doesn't have enough money.
  Princess Xiaoqing's dowry was purchased by the Empress Dowager according to the princess's share. Gold, silver, jewelry, property deeds, and silks and satins were all of the best.
  When she was there, the Grand Master's Mansion did not dare to touch these things for fear of being blamed by the Queen Mother. After her death, the things were packed into the storehouse of the Mansion, and those that were given away were given away and those that were sold were sold.
  There are only a few small shops and farmhouses left outside, which are still managed by Yu Qinglian. I don't know whether it is due to poor management or other reasons, but the revenue is very small every year.
  However, even if it is not profitable, it still belongs to Shen Zhuoxi's mother. How can it be in the hands of outsiders?
  The old lady hesitated for a moment and then said tentatively: "The Imperial Palace has spent a lot of money on your treatment over the years. Princess Xiaoqing's dowry..."
  "Have you finished treating me?" Shen Zhuoxi interrupted the old lady and said with a smile: "No, I remember that when I was only five years old when I first got sick, I hired many doctors."
  "Later, Si Tianjian said that I was the reincarnation of a demon star, and he never saw any doctors again. I suffered from everything from colds and coughs to headaches and fever, all by myself."
  The old lady's prepared words were blocked by Shen Zhuoxi. She smiled weakly and changed her words: "How is that possible? It's just put away. I'll ask your father and the eldest lady to go to the warehouse to look for it tomorrow."
  “Ten years have passed and I don’t know where those things have been lost.”
  "Oh, that's good." Shen Zhuoxi said as if he was relieved: "Actually, it's not a sudden idea of ​​mine. It was the Empress Dowager who entered the palace that day who mentioned it."
  "I've been in trouble for so many years and haven't even offered a stick of incense to my mother. It's inconvenient for her to be in the palace. Now that I'm recovering, I should make up for it, along with the Queen Mother's feelings for my mother."
  "The Queen Mother is interested." The old lady was glad that she didn't say that all the money was spent just now, and said hurriedly: "Our Shen family has not done well enough. For many years, we have only sent people to worship Princess Xiaoqing."
  "There is no place for her to be enshrined in the house."
  Shen Zhuoxi fiddled with the soup bowl in his hand, and the wall of the bowl and the spoon made a slight noise: "Grandma has gone abroad. The Grand Master's family has a big business, how can you take care of everything."
  "The Queen Mother is going to reward my mother with money to repair her mother's Xiaoxiang Tower. She also remembered that my mother still has a lot of dowry, so she specifically asked me to ask. If the Taishi Mansion spends the money, it will be a different matter."
  The old lady hurriedly said: "No way, how dare we touch the princess's dowry? Just wait a few days, and I will ask your father and mother to check the accounts. Once they are cleared, I will hand them over to you."
  "Thank you, grandma." Shen Zhuoxi took two sips of the white fungus soup and said, "Your body has not fully recovered from the heat stroke and you need to rest. This matter is not urgent."
  "Don't be anxious, the Queen Mother is worried." The old lady said with a righteous look, "My body is fine, I will definitely get it done for you as soon as possible."
  The two of them didn't say anything else after that, only the slight sound of the clinking of bowls and chopsticks was heard.
  After the old lady put down the bowl and chopsticks, Shen Zhuoxi stood up and said, "Grandma, have a good rest, I'm going back."
  "Okay." The old lady thought for a moment, then ordered Aunt Yuan to bring out her purse to Shen Zhuoxi, and said, "You have just been able to go out. Everything is fresh outside. Food and clothing all cost money. Grandma will give you some extra." Private money.”
  "No, grandma, I have enough money on hand." Shen Zhuoxi declined, took the snacks from Hui Zhi, and said, "I thought I would visit you when I came back, so I bought you some snacks."
  The old lady naturally recognized the logo of Baihe Tower and was slightly surprised: "This box of snacks costs a few hundred taels. Where did you get so much money?"
  "It was given by His Highness King Yu." Shen Zhuoxi sighed: "I went to the Prince Yu's Mansion to express my gratitude and found a medical book on treating eye diseases and brought it over. His Highness King Yu rewarded me with several hundred taels of silver as a token of my gratitude."
  "A total of several hundred taels, and I even went out to buy snacks for the old lady." Grandma Yun took the box and praised: "Second Miss is very filial."
  "Yes, you are interested." The old lady's smile finally showed some sincerity: "You have been running around all day, go and rest quickly."
  When leaving Jing'an Garden, I happened to meet Aunt Yang who was returning from dinner.
  Seeing Shen Zhuoxi, Aunt Yang stepped forward quickly and said, "The cakes brought back by the second lady taste really good. You will have endless aftertaste after eating them together!"
  "Aunt Yang likes it, I still have it here." Shen Zhuoxi told Huizhi: "I will send some to Aunt Yang later to repay the favor of the silver hairpin."
  "That silver hairpin is worthless. Don't worry about it, second lady." Aunt Yang said and looked back to make sure no one was there. Then she came to Shen Zhuoxi's side and said, "You didn't stay in the dining room to watch the show just now."
  "As soon as you left, the third lady on the back ate the snacks you brought back. While eating, she said that the taste was different from the ones she had eaten at Baihe Tower, and that you had made some fake ones to show off."
  "Tsk, tsk, you are saying that and eating three pieces in a row. It really doesn't look like a child raised under the knee of your aunt. Look at the eldest lady and the fourth lady who also grew up under the knee of the eldest lady. They are gentle and talented."
  "Especially since she has an uncle with a lot of money, so she looks very petty."
  Over the years, Yu Qinglian seemed to love Shen Jingya, but in fact, she deliberately pampered her, indulged her bad habits, and developed an unruly and domineering temperament. No one thought about it in other directions, and even called her virtuous and virtuous.
  It's hard for Aunt Yang to see the clues.
  Shen Zhuoxi stopped and said with a half-smile, "Aunt Yang's words contain deep meaning. Aren't you afraid that I will tell the eldest lady?"
  Aunt Yang looked around again and then said: "Second Miss has just recovered. I'm worried that you don't know people well and may be misled by some people. I just want to remind you."
  "If she hadn't been a hindrance and deliberately connived, would the maids and servants in the house dare to bully you at will? How discerning do you have to be? I suspect that the death of Princess Xiaoqing was all related to her!"
  "Aunt Yang, have you been drinking?" Hui Zhi interrupted at the right time: "Do you need a slave to take you back?"
  Aunt Yang smiled faintly: "Every June, I have to drink two more glasses. If I drink too much, I won't think about those things, so I can sleep soundly."
  The two happened to be standing under the lantern in the corridor, and Shen Zhuoxi looked at Aunt Yang carefully for the first time.
  She was very thin, with many fine lines at the end of her eyes, and the amorous look between her brows and eyes at this moment only left loneliness and sadness.
  Shen Zhuoxi's eyes were too sharp, and Aunt Yang turned her back and said, "Second Miss, if you think what I said is right, take it to heart. If you think that I have the intention to provoke you and the eldest lady, just think that I am drunk tonight."
  After saying that, he ignored Shen Zhuoxi and walked forward, humming a tune that Shen Zhuoxi had never heard before.
