Chapter 38 Apologize?impossible
Since she was a child, she was sent to a village in the suburbs alone, and her father never came to see her, and even the day she returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion when she was young, they never had a meal together.

Every time her father appeared in front of her, except for a cold face and an angry face, he never even had a smiling face. She thought that everyone's father had such a straight face, until later she found out that his father would always be a stern face in front of Shu Yiyan. Even the concubine daughter in the family can be praised occasionally for the kind face of the loving father.

Only she never got a good look from him.

At first, she tried her best to act like a woman, thinking that her father would always fall in love with her, but every time she got angry, gradually, she became more and more afraid of her father. In the end, every time her father yelled, She would be frightened violently, and many times she wanted to explain that she had done nothing wrong, but was yelled at by him and dared not answer.

The laughter in the dining room continued, Shu Qing calmed down and walked in with a blank expression.

Sitting facing the door was Shu's father. As soon as Shu Qing came in, his original smiling face immediately sank, and he said with some displeasure:
"What are you here for?"

Look, it's obviously meal time, if it's someone else's father, he would definitely let his children come to eat together, but he asked him what he was doing here, and he didn't even care about whether he had eaten.

When Shu's father opened his mouth, Ning and Shu Yiyan naturally turned to look at Shu Qing, with an expression of annoyance that their happy mood was interrupted.

In her previous life, she might have been sad or even jealous of Shu Yiyan, but now, she is very calm:

"Father, my daughter wants to ask my father, is the house so tight that everyone can only have five taels of silver?"

Just as Father Shu was about to get angry, Shu Yiyan spoke first:
"Yes, my sister spent 10 taels of silver to buy a piece of fake jade. How can there be any silver in the house? Even the servant's monthly salary is not enough."

Shu Qing sneered in his heart, he couldn't afford the monthly salary of a servant, but he could afford a piece of cotton gauze that cost tens of thousands of taels of silver, and he could afford a jade lantern of no less than 10 taels of silver as a gift, it was ridiculous.

She looks ashamed:
"I didn't expect that the mansion has reached the point where food and drink expenses have to be maintained by the dowry gift from His Highness the Crown Prince. It is the daughter who is unfilial and doesn't know about it."

Shu Yiyan's eyes lit up, and he immediately continued:

"Yes, sister, so my sister can no longer use the betrothal gifts of His Highness the Crown Prince indiscriminately. Even when my sister gets married, I don't know if I can leave some of the betrothal gifts as my sister's dowry."

Ning and Shu's father didn't look very good at first, but when they heard Shu Yiyan's words, they immediately realized that they were implying that Shu Qing could use this reason to get the prince's generous dowry as a reason for getting married.

Father Shu coughed, and said with a straight face:

"You almost caused a catastrophe today. Fortunately, Your Majesty and Empress Dowager are kind. You will not be able to use those betrothal gifts in the future. If His Highness the Crown Prince blames you, be careful about your marriage."

The word "retirement" was the word that Shu Qing was most afraid of hearing in her previous life. She would be so frightened that her sister would be withdrawn if she was raised, she would compromise everything. I will try my best to get rid of the marriage.

Shu Qing was even more ashamed and said:
"My father taught me that the betrothal gift is something from His Highness the Crown Prince. If it is really used up, when the time comes for the daughter to marry, His Highness the Crown Prince will be angry if he finds that there is no betrothal gift. Sad, it happens that my daughter knows some embroidery and Danqing, and my daughter will definitely embroider and paint Danqing a lot in the future, and sell it for some money, so as to subsidize the family."

These few people couldn't sit still anymore, and Father Shu's expression darkened, and he scolded:
"Don't you dare, if you go out again to make a fool of yourself, see if I don't break your leg!"

If rumors spread that the dignified prime minister's wife actually needs to subsidize the mansion by selling embroidery and paintings, then he will lose all face, and he might not be laughed at by his colleagues.

Shu Qing shrank her neck, looking very scared, but she still held back her fear and said:
"My daughter also feels that her embroidery is embarrassing, but she wants to share her father's worries. There are no valuables in the daughter's yard. By the way, the daughter knows that the father's yard is almost full of high-quality porcelain antiques, worth no less than one million. Two taels of silver, and there are ornaments worth at least two to three hundred thousand taels in the courtyard of Yan'er's sister, and there are more in the grandmother's room. I heard that the grandmother has several pieces of jade worth millions of dollars, especially the jade Guanyin. The younger sister said that they are worth more than 30 gold..."

Before the words were finished, Father Shu was already furious and slapped the table hard, with a furious expression on his face:
"You bastard! Sinister, you're so unreasonable that you're targeting me and your grandmother!"

Ning's Shu Yiyan, who was sitting on both sides of Shu's father, was taken aback. The soup on the table was shot and spilled on the table. One can imagine how angry Shu's father is now.

Shu Qing was so frightened that he turned into a shrunken partridge. He didn't dare to look at Shu's father, but he still muttered:

"But the daughter really couldn't bear the fact that her father only used five liang of silver every month. If it was impossible, the daughter went to His Highness the Crown Prince to beg for mercy, saying that the family really didn't even have the money to pay the servant, and asked him to allow us to use those betrothal gifts. , father thinks this is good?"

"Shut up! Who said that being a father can only use five taels of silver a month, and that the mansion is not so poor that it needs to use the dowry gift from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? No matter how poor the prime minister's mansion is, it is not so poor that it cannot afford to use servants , only you, you can only have five taels of silver per month!"

Shu Qing raised her head in shock, widened Qingling's eyes, and looked at Father Shu in disbelief:

"Father, even if you don't like your daughter, it's your blood that bleeds on your body. Could it be that in father's mind, your daughter's existence is like that of a servant in the mansion? Even Yueyin is like a maid, who is only worthy of five dollars a month. Two silver coins?"

"You have the nerve to say it! Who spent 10 taels of silver today to buy a fake jade? If it weren't for good luck, do you think you can leave the palace with a full beard today? If you are a father and let you spend money recklessly , sooner or later even the entire Prime Minister's Mansion will be defeated by you, maybe you will cause something, and even our family will be killed, you have made such a big mistake, and you don't even know how to repent! "

Shu's father was so angry that he blushed and his neck was thick, Shu Yiyan and Ning Shi helped to caress his back in a timely manner:
"Father, calm down quickly, don't get angry because of these trivial matters, the doctor said that you are not in good health, you must stop being impetuous and angry." Shu Yiyan said, turning to Shu Qing, with blame on his face:
"Sister, how can you make father angry, apologize to father quickly."

I was very happy that Shu Qing made my father hate him even more.

Apologize?

It means that if she is asked to compromise, she can only spend five taels of silver per month, but Shu Yiyan can spend as much as she wants, and even get no less than 10 taels of jade lanterns?
