Chapter 13 [Stealing the Dowry]

She covered her head, her body trembled violently, and she held on to Chu Hui's arm tightly.

Chu Yaoji has been afraid of mice since she was a child, let alone dead mice that have been skinned. Looking at her current state, I am afraid that she will not have a good time in the near future.

"Daddy and mother will sleep with you tonight, don't be afraid." Chu Hui gently patted her on the back, coaxing her to sleep.

Liang Xiang'er looked at her daughter's pale face with distress, and ordered coldly: "Double the number of guards in the lady's yard, and do everything possible to track down the thief who threatened the lady tonight!"

"Subordinates go now!" The leader of the guard hurriedly got up and took the others away.

But Chen Lingling from Nanyuan was sleeping soundly at this time, but she didn't know that the scene she just had had already been seen by others.

Under the night, the man's bottomless cold eyes narrowed slightly, and when he looked in the direction of Nanyuan's door, his lips curved slightly.

The sun is dazzling and hot, and the fragrance of flowers is overflowing.

When Chen Lingling woke up early in the morning, she heard the people in the Hou's mansion gathering together to discuss what happened last night. After washing her face, she applied the colorful rouge powder again, making herself a top ugly girl before going out.

She is going to find a dowry!

She was about to get married, no matter what she said, she had to give herself a decent dowry. In this ruthless place like the Hou Mansion, she could make some money.

"Fu Que, are you ready?" She walked in front and asked Fu Que.

Fu Que patted the oversized piece of cloth in her arms, "Miss, the burdens are all ready."

"That's good, let's go to Liang Xiang'er first." She smiled darkly.

In Luohuayuan, Liang Xiang'er went to the Youjing Pavilion next door early in the morning to take care of Chu Yaoji who was overly frightened.

As soon as she entered, the yard was empty. Chen Lingling rolled her eyes secretly. This Liang Xiang'er probably didn't expect anyone to dare to enter her yard.

Just as she was thinking, rows of bright red wooden boxes came into her sight.The wooden boxes were tied with the same red cloth, and they were placed neatly. After checking, there were exactly 66 boxes.

So much dowry is prepared for Chu Yaoji?

Thinking of this, Chen Lingling's unattractive face was so dark that it almost dripped, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Fuqu, go and open the boxes one by one, pick the most expensive one, and take the best one."

"Oh, good!" Fu Que hurriedly went to get things according to her instructions.

When the box was opened, Chen Lingling became flustered again. The ornaments made of gold and emerald were all for Chu Yaoji?
But they also knew that they were going to get married, but they didn't prepare for anything. Chen Lingling was furious, thinking about it, she curled her lips strangely.

"Fuqu, go back to Nanyuan first when you've got it, I'll go find something."

"Miss, then you have to pay attention to safety!" Fu Que asked worriedly.

Chen Lingling waved her hand with her back turned, "Got it!"

The 66 red wooden boxes were not locked. After all, not everyone could enter this Luohuayuan. Fu Que opened them all, and put all the most valuable and best things inside into her luggage, so she almost didn't drag them back in the end.

All the way back from the uninhabited path of the Hou Mansion, Fu Que secretly wrapped the bundle, for fear that the contents inside would fall out, and none of the servants of the Hou Mansion who passed her by occasionally looked at her directly. They receive less attention, so no matter what they fiddle with, no one will care.

That would be convenient for Fu Que. When she returned to Nanyuan with a heavy dowry, Chen Lingling was already sitting in the gazebo in the courtyard with her eyes closed.

From afar, Fu Que looked at her and felt that the young lady had changed. Although she looked the same, she felt that something was different, especially her courage, and the aura she unintentionally exuded, as if crawling out of a pile of dead people. Well, lifeless.
