Chapter 144
"What's the matter?" Seeing her husband coming back from outside, Mrs. Guo went up to meet her, and was surprised to see her husband holding a box in his arms with a serious expression.

The couple have been married for many years and have never blushed. In addition, Guo's body was hurt because of giving birth to a young daughter. Shen Zhe loves her even more. Even if he is unhappy, he never shows it in front of her.

But today, it was a rare appearance, Guo Shi stretched out his hand to hold his arm, and asked with concern.

"Ma'am, take a look at these." Hearing his wife's question, Shen Zhe's expression softened a little, and when he entered the room, he put the box on the table and signaled Guo Shi to go and see it by himself.

So, Mrs. Guo opened the box and looked inside.

Seeing the things inside, she didn't react in any particular way, and looked at Shen Zhe in confusion, as if she didn't quite understand what her husband meant.

"Huh?" Cui Shi on the side made a suspicious sound, Guo Shi turned her head to look at her, only to see Cui Shi approaching, took out something from the box, and handed it to Guo Shi, "Sister-in-law, it seems... ...Is it yours?"

The Guo family has a lot of dowry, so naturally it is impossible to remember everything, some of them have to be compared with the list.

But since it was her dowry, there were many small items that had been used before. What Cui handed to her was a hairpin, which she had worn for a while when she was pregnant with Shen Yunzhen.

"My things?" Mrs. Guo reached out to take it, and looked at it carefully, "It's true! I was pregnant with Yunzhen back then, and because I lost a gem, I felt unlucky. After I ordered someone to replace the gem, I put it away. Woke up."

After speaking, Guo put down the hairpin, picked up other things in the box and looked at them carefully.

"This...official, do you still remember this?" Guo Shi found the missing corner token, turned around and handed it to Shen Zhe.

The reason why Shen Zhe noticed that the items in the box belonged to his wife was precisely because of this token with missing corners.

"I remember it, this is our token of love." Shen Zhe reached out to take it, responded, and then looked at Shen Pei. "Third, what else do you have to say now?"

"Third Uncle?" Shen Zhe's words made Guo's eyes shift to Shen Pei, "What do you mean?"

"Sister-in-law, the matter is like this..." Shen Xu opened his mouth and told the ins and outs of the matter.

At this moment, Shen Pei stood aside with his head buried low. He still couldn't figure it out, why did things happen like this?
"Uncle, calm down first, I look at Third Uncle's appearance, I'm afraid he doesn't know what's going on."

After Shen Xu finished speaking, both Guo Shi and Cui Shi understood the reason.

Everyone saw Shen Pei's appearance, so Cui spoke up to help Shen Pei smooth things over.

"Third Uncle, did you get this pawn ticket from Third Aunt?" After talking with Shen Zhe, Cui Shi looked at Shen Pei and spoke in a gentle tone.

Hearing her words, the tension in Shen Pei's heart eased a bit, "No... no, these pawn tickets are all taken from Kang Nuo."

"Brother, trust me, I really don't know what's going on! It's true that I have benefited a lot from our business, but no matter how stupid I am, I don't dare to think about my sister-in-law's dowry!"

Looking up at Shen Zhe, Shen Pei looked aggrieved, "Yes, I even took my wife's things secretly, but you also know that I have been afraid of you since I was a child, and I dare not think about my sister-in-law's things! "

Shen Zhe sat down and didn't speak, Guo Shi also sat down next to him, seeing Shen Pei's pitiful words, couldn't help reaching out and tugging on Shen Zhe's sleeve.

His wife begged for mercy, Shen Zhe snorted out of his nose as a response.

"Third Uncle, don't worry, I think Uncle also believes in you. As long as we understand what happened now, we will understand it naturally."

When Cui said so, Shen Pei nodded again and again, "The pawn tickets were all found from Mother Kang, I...I'll go back and look for it again!"

After finishing speaking, Shen Pei wanted to go out, but Cui called him.

"Third Uncle, wait a moment. If I remember correctly, then Aunt Kang is the dowry nanny brought by Aunt Zheng from the Zheng family, right? Even if we want to find out everything, we have to do it for Aunt Third's sake. Just be quieter."

"After all, Third Aunt is pregnant. What if Kang Nanny did it behind her back... Now that Third Aunt is in charge of the house, she has always been a fair person. What if she gets angry because of Kang Nanny? ?”

"Third brother, your second sister-in-law is right. Let's take care of the child in your wife's womb, regardless of others!"

After Guo Shi took over the words, Shen Pei nodded again and again, "Then sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, in your opinion, how should this matter be done?"

"Well... Sister-in-law, let someone bring you a dowry list, first check a pair of these, and see if there is anything missing?"

It's about Madam Kang, it's a matter in the backyard, Cui thought for a moment, and discussed with Guo.

Guo Shi also had this intention, so he asked someone to bring the dowry list and compared it with the one in the box.

"There are still a few things that are missing, but it's hard to say that they are all at Madam Kang's place. After all, we still have unfinished items, so they are still in our house."

After checking the list, Cui said again, Shen Pei sat on the side, full of gratitude to Cui, he felt that the second sister-in-law was still facing the third bedroom.

"Siblings, what do you think we should do in the future?" After the recent incidents, Shen Zhe felt that Cui's family was good.

When they were in the mansion before, the mother was in charge of the household. After the mother passed away, because the wife was in poor health and the second younger sibling was also in poor health, the third younger sibling was called to be in charge of the house.

Afterwards, the family went to Dongdu, and the trivial matters in the mansion have been handled very well these years, which shows that the housekeeper of the third sibling is doing well.

But when the family returned to the mansion, they realized that the so-called goodness was only on the surface, and there were many problems inside.

That day Shen Zhe had discussed with Guo Shi that Zheng Shi could not be asked to continue to run the house, but Guo Shi was not in good health, seeing that the second younger sibling Cui Shi was already in good health, maybe she could be allowed to do it.

Now, Shen Zhe is more sure of his previous thoughts.

"Although I said just now that if everything is missing, it cannot be said that everything is at Mother Kang's place, but it will take some time until the sister-in-law's dowry is sorted out."

"I heard that Mother Kang's family has something to do recently, so she is not often in the mansion. If so, I have to bother Third Uncle, and then go to her room to see."

"Although this is not very good, it is the most convenient way. If you can't find other pawn tickets, it means that the things are indeed still in the mansion."

"Now that the things have been redeemed, I will find the ones that don't match later. At least I haven't lost my sister-in-law's things. I think that Madam Kang was brought by the third aunt from her mother's house. The third aunt is pregnant again. She is old. Now that she's grown up, let's just... let her go to the Zhuangzi for the elderly, shall I?"

Since Shen Zhe asked, Cui Shi thought about it and said her own thoughts. After she finished speaking, she first looked at Shen Xu, then looked at Shen Zhe and Guo Shi...
