Chapter 98 Dowry (5)
"Do as you want." Mrs. Wang handed the cloth to her.

Zhuyin hurried forward to take it.

Wang sat down and thought about it for a while.If this stepdaughter is not removed for a day, she will not be able to settle down.I don't know who it is, but it was able to rescue Li Min from Master Lu.Because Lord Lu took their money, it is impossible to release Li Min immediately.

Who was it, or did Li Min escape by himself?

At the door, there was a report from the servant: "Master is back."

Li Datong seemed to be working overtime in the yamen last night, and he only came home this morning with dark circles under his eyes.

Mrs. Wang went up to meet him, helped him to sit on the couch, took off his boots and socks, and asked, "Have you had breakfast yet?"

"I've eaten." Li Datong panted, reaching out for Zhuyin to pour a cup of hot tea.

Mrs. Wang ordered someone to beat his legs, and then ordered someone to fetch water so that he could wash his face.

Li Datong took a sip of tea, breathed a sigh of relief, and asked her: "Did you ask me the night before, did you teach my allergic children to write?"

Wang pretended to be confused: "Is there?"

"Oh." Li Datong sneered, "I just find it strange why you suddenly asked me this question. As a result, do you know that when I returned to the yamen yesterday, one of my colleagues was a bachelor. A friend of Mr. Zhou said, Mr. Zhou saw the handwriting written by our second daughter in the palace, and he turned around and told everyone. My colleagues came back and asked me, when did I hide my clumsiness? How do you think I should answer? I was kept in the dark and almost killed by you!"

Mrs. Wang knelt down in shock: "How do you say this, master?"

"If the emperor asks me to write a few clumsy characters, but I can't write them, what do you think?"

Wang's tongue knotted: "Well, I also thought that Min'er's calligraphy was taught by the master, because who else in the mansion can write such characters except the master?"

With a bang, Li Datong pressed the teacup on the table, a little sullen: "Even so, you shouldn't hide it from me! I know you don't like Min'er, but Min'er is about to get married." , where is it blocking your eyes!"

Aggrieved and angry, Wang felt a burst of grievance and thought to himself: It's not because of you that you took a few boxes after Xu's death and kept hiding them like treasures. Why don't you make people angry!If this anger doesn't spread on Li Min's head, why not dig Xu's grave?

Seeing that Mrs. Wang didn't speak, Li Datong took a breather and said, "Min'er's dowry, you mother, how is it going?"

When Wang heard this, she pouted: "Didn't the master give her the land as a dowry? What can she be dissatisfied with?"

Li Datong's eyelids twitched, and he was afraid that the matter of raising his mistress outside would come to light, so he stammered and said: "Think about it, I didn't give it to her, but to the Duke Huguo. It's because of Yinger. Let the people in the Duke Protector's Mansion be dissatisfied, so what if you send a piece of land to eliminate the disaster?"

"But what about Yinger? I thought I would have that piece of land for Yinger."

"I'll look for it later and get another piece of land for you."

Only then did Wang stand up happily, beat him on the shoulder and said, "Master, don't worry about Min'er's dowry. As a mother, can I blacken Master's face?"

"Yeah." Li Datong pushed her hand away and got up, "I didn't sleep all night last night, so I went to sleep in my room. I heard that the palace didn't ask about Min'er's words for a while, so don't be stupid like a spy." If I ask around like that, it will make me feel so embarrassed."

"As you order, sir."

After sending Li Datong away, Mrs. Wang first called Madam Zhang: "How is the affairs in Shuntian Mansion going?"

Nanny Zhang said: "Ma'am, everything in Shuntian Mansion has been taken care of. Doctor Yang ate and slept well in there. I just asked, when will I be released from the prison?"

"Hmph." When Wang Shi heard that sentence, eat well and sleep well, Yang Luoning is fine, he made a mess for her to clean up, and she still eats well and sleeps well. She has nightmares every night, worrying about being betrayed by him, "That's all he said?"

"Yes."

"Tell him that in a few days, he won't have to lie down in the cell."

However, instead of being released vertically, he was released horizontally.

People have to die before they can talk nonsense.

After eating breakfast, Li Min was full and refreshed.Not long after, Zhuyin came to the door in person and brought the cloth that Li Hua sent from the palace.

"Second girl, this was sent by Huacai from the palace. She said it was a gift from the Queen Mother. Huacai was sympathetic to the sisters' love, and sent them back to the Shangshu Mansion to give to the two younger sisters."

Nian Xia stepped forward to take the cloth in her hand, took it, weighed it lightly, there was not even a third of it.Cloths of such colors are of course the best for making clothes.However, there is only so much left, what can be done?Even making a pair of shoes has to be considered.

This Li Hua is really good, or Li Ying deliberately took the lead first.In any case, the sisters are in trouble.

Nian Xia couldn't help stabbing at the other party: "Isn't the third girl in poor health? Why, is the cloth distributed by the servants themselves?"

Zhu Yin glared at Nianxia: "Second Miss, who doesn't know that Third Miss is a good person. When the Empress Dowager delivered the cloth, there was not even half a piece of cloth, and Third Miss only took a little. If there was any more, I left it all for Second Lady. Miss, because the second girl is going to get married, knowing that the second girl needs clothes, she will look shabby after she can't go to Shangshufu."

Li Min glanced at Zhuyin lightly: "You also know that I'm poor?"

The tone was not loud, and the majesty in the voice made Zhuyin stunned for a moment, and lowered his head: "No, slave——"

"Pull the hairpin off her head. A slave wears it better than the master, and dares to say that the master is shabby. If the lady doesn't scold you, if I don't discipline you on behalf of the lady, go out and be talked about, Everyone will say that there is a thief in Shangshu's mansion."

After a few words, Zhuyin was too scared to speak.If she was mistaken for a thief, she would be beaten to death with a stick if she was sent to the government, and the Wang family would not be able to protect her.

Nian Xia stepped forward and took the silver hairpin from her head, it was made of genuine silver, the flower ornaments were much more beautiful than the plain hairpin on Li Min's head.

With disheveled hair, Zhuyin knelt down, didn't dare to fart, and only kowtowed in front of Li Min: "Second Miss, spare your life! That hairpin was really not stolen by the servant, it was given to the servant by the madam."

"Isn't it from the master?"

Zhuyin was startled, it was indeed Li Datong who gave it to her, Wang turned a blind eye to it.But how did Li Min know.

Li Min wanted to know how flirtatious his father was.

"Get up. Bu, I believe that you distributed it in private, and it is also your own idea. The third lady is not awake yet, so you take this cloth back, and the errands have to be done, otherwise, you have to talk about Shangshufu again. There's another thief."
