Zhong and Su Feiling stared blankly at the few things Su Renyi had left.

How could all that's left be these things?

They clearly had so many, countless assets, so why did they all disappear in the blink of an eye?

"Let's start here." Having retrieved her father's belongings, Su Xuening didn't forget her mother's dowry.

Upon hearing that Su Xuening was going to mess with her again, Madam Zhong cried out in alarm, "Su Xuening, you..."

"Do you need me to shut you up?" Before Zhong could finish speaking, Su Xuening shot her a cold glare: "This is my General's Mansion. If I hear another swear word, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Whether it was Su Xuening's intimidating gaze or Zhong Shi's fear of the guards, after being reprimanded by Su Xuening, Zhong Shi didn't dare to speak again.

"start!"

At Su Xuening's command, Bihe and Lülian began preparing Mu's dowry, starting with the actual property.

“Cuiyuxuan, a two-story building with three rooms at No. 45 East Street, Kyoto”.

"A two-story Mu's Rouge shop at No. 13 East Street, Kyoto."

"The Mu Family Cloth Shop, a two-story building with a backyard, located at No. 16 South Street, Kyoto."

“No. 39, South Street, Kyoto, a four-courtyard house.”

"Wait a minute." Green Lotus had only read the fourth one when Green Lotus couldn't find the house deed: "Miss, the house deed for the four-courtyard house at No. 39 South Street, which was part of Madam's dowry, is gone."

Su Xuening gave Zhong a cold, sharp look.

Zhong showed no remorse whatsoever, and even glanced at Su Xuening with a rather smug look, as if to say, "So what if the property deed is gone? What can you do about it?"

Su Xuening was not going to tolerate her and said coldly, "I remember that my second aunt also has a five-courtyard house on South Street, right? Let's use that as collateral."

"How dare you!" Upon hearing this, Madam Zhong instantly became furious, glaring at Su Xuening and cursing, "How could you even think of using my five-courtyard mansion to offset the Mu family's four-courtyard mansion!"

Su Xuening snorted disdainfully: "Although the house my mother brought as part of her dowry was a four-courtyard house, it was located further forward than your five-courtyard house, and in a better location. I would still feel like I'm losing out by exchanging your five-courtyard house for this four-courtyard house!"

"You..." Seeing that she had gotten the benefit and was still acting innocent, Madam Zhong was furious.

If they hadn't taken over her mother's house, Su Xuening wouldn't have bothered with her five-courtyard house.

“If Second Aunt doesn’t want to use the house as collateral, then silver will do. The four-courtyard house on South Street, let’s say it’s 98,000 taels.” Su Xuening looked like she was letting you get a great deal.

Upon hearing this amount, Madam Zhong erupted in fury again, screaming, "Ninety-eight thousand taels! Why don't you just rob someone?!"

Su Xuening looked at her with a half-smile, as if to say, "Look at me now, don't I look like I'm stealing something?"

That expression was like a knife stabbing straight into Zhong's heart: "Su Xuening, this is blatant robbery! The five-courtyard house on South Street is my dowry. According to the laws of Dongchu, taking someone else's dowry without permission is a serious crime!"

"Oh my!" Su Xuening clapped her hands and praised Zhong Shi, giving her a thumbs up: "Second Aunt, you've learned the laws of Dongchu very well. Now tell me yourself, what a serious crime it is that you embezzled my mother's four-courtyard house on South Street!"

"..." Zhong Shi then realized what nonsense she had said.

I'm so angry with this little bitch that I've lost my mind and am even spouting nonsense like this.

Su Xuening ignored her and gestured to Bihe: "Find out the deed for Second Aunt's five-courtyard house on South Street."

Upon hearing this, Bihe immediately went to Zhong's box to look for the house deed.

Zhong was so anxious that she tried to step forward to stop them, but was stopped by the guards.

A group of guards surrounded all the items they had previously searched from the second branch of the family. No one except those ordered by Su Xuening could get close to these things.

Looking at the excellent performance of the guards, Su Xuening wondered if she should take some guards to the Holy King's Mansion, but she still needed to resolve the issue of dividing the family first.

Su Xuening looked at Qing Shi beside her and said, "Go to Shuntian Prefecture and have Lord Cen send a household registration official over to transfer the property and change the name on the spot."

"Yes," Qing Shi replied and immediately went to find someone.

Bihe and Lülian were still looking at the dowry list when several more house deeds went missing.

Su Xuening didn't hold back and directly took the most expensive property deeds from Zhong's property, making Zhong's heart bleed with heartache.

She didn't have much dowry in total. The five-courtyard house on South Street was her best asset. She originally wanted to leave it to Ling'er as a dowry, but now Su Xuening has taken it away.

Su Xuening also took over several shops in slightly better locations.

When Qing Shi brought Cen Jinfeng over, Bi He and Lü Lian were still discussing their dowries.

"Lord Cen?" Su Xuening looked surprised when she saw Cen Jinfeng.

"Miss Su, Lord Marquis." Cen Jinfeng stepped forward and bowed to Su Xuening first, then bowed to Su Renyi.

"Why did Lord Cen come in person?" Su Xuening asked, frowning.

Wasn't it enough to just send an official in charge of household registration? Why did Cen Jinfeng come in person?

Cen Jinfeng bowed and said, "I heard that Miss Su and the Marquis are dividing their family property and need a household registration official. I happened to have nothing to do and originally wanted to come to the General's Mansion to ask about the First Madam's affairs, so I came here to make this trip."

This Miss Su will be the Holy Princess in two days. He offended her before, and now that he has a chance to make amends, how could he not run fast?

Su Xuening gave Cen Jinfeng a meaningful look. This Cen Jinfeng was really good at judging the situation.

"Now that Lord Cen is here, please be our witness for the eldest and second branches of the Su family."

Cen Jinfeng immediately bowed: "It is my honor."

Although his current official rank is above that of this Miss Su, in two days, Miss Su will become a first-rank princess consort, so he should respectfully pay his respects.

"Please have a seat, Lord Cen."

Since the person came in person to handle the property transfer for her, she couldn't very well neglect them.

Cen Jinfeng glanced at the main hall, which was full of people on both sides, and found that there was only one empty seat next to Su Renyi. He then sat down next to Su Renyi.

Su Renyi clenched his fist, put it to his lips, and whispered to Cen Jinfeng, "Lord Cen's ability to change his tune with the wind is getting more and more impressive! I truly admire him!"

Cen Jinfeng covered his mouth with his hand and said, "You flatter me, Your Excellency. If it weren't for your meal, I wouldn't have been fined a year's salary by the Emperor and offended the future Holy Princess. Please, Your Excellency, have some decency in your words and give me a way out."

Thinking of how he had pressured Cen Jinfeng to change the verdict, Su Renyi ultimately remained silent.

After an incense stick had burned, Bihe and Lülian finished checking all the actual assets of the Mu family's dowry.

“Miss, the madam’s dowry is missing two mansions, five shops, one farm, and twenty-six acres of land deeds. These are the mansions, shops, and land deeds that were taken from the second madam’s dowry in equal quantities.”

Su Xuening looked at Cen Jinfeng: "Then please help me with the transfer, Lord Cen, and change it to my mother's name."

"Wait a minute." Just as Cen Jinfeng was about to agree, Su Feiling suddenly spoke up.
