Yes, she already knew.

In her previous life, she overheard Old Madam Zhou talking to her maid by chance, and only then did she realize that when the Marquis's mansion was dealt with, they all kept their own money. Only she was foolish enough to think that there was really no money left in the mansion, and she foolishly used her dowry money to support her family.

Previously, neither Zhou's mother nor the second and third wives had been unable to repay her the money; they simply did not want to.

After all, it's unpleasant to have to vomit what you've eaten.

"Put it away."

After Yuan Zhao finished speaking, he took Wen Feng and Linglong to other courtyards.

The three of them, master and servant, worked all morning and actually found hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in the Marquis's mansion, not counting the gold and silver jewelry.

"These shameless bastards."

Linglong spat fiercely. These people were going too far. They clearly had money of their own, yet they kept squeezing their young lady dry.

Yuan Zhao already knew the Zhou family's temperament, so he wasn't annoyed and said:

"Take all of these back. Also, have the people in the manor come and move all these things away. Burn anything that can't be moved."

The Zhou family members were driven away last night, and they haven't recovered yet. In a few days, they won't care so much anymore and will definitely think about sneaking back to get their things.

She wanted them to get nothing.

"Yes, Miss."

Hearing this, Wenfeng and Linglong were filled with enthusiasm.

The group was delayed, and by the time they left the Zhou residence, it was already dark.

"Miss, shall we go back?"

Ask the wind and ask the question.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhao paused for a moment. She had originally intended to go find her sister-in-law today, but she had been delayed here for so long that it was no longer appropriate to go find her sister-in-law at this time.

Yuan Zhao thought for a moment and then said, forcing himself to speak:

"Let's go back."

In short, there is no way to get rid of that evil star for the time being; even if you don't want to face it, you have no choice but to.

After returning home, Yuan Zhao spoke with her father and brothers for a while. Upon learning that she had actually found so much silver in the Zhou family's house, Yuan's father snorted coldly:

"They've tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead."

He clearly had money of his own, but he couldn't bear to part with it, so he went against his conscience and used it to cheat his daughter out of her dowry.

Now look what's happened, he's ended up with nothing, it's karma.

"Father, you can keep this silver."

Yuan Zhao spoke.

Yuan's father frowned, about to say something, when he heard Yuan Zhao say:

"Father, now is the time to use money."

She knew her father was still planning to leave the capital, which was no small matter and would inevitably require a lot of money to bribe officials.

"Take it back."

Father Yuan said with a stern face:

“Your father isn’t so poor that he has to use his daughter’s dowry.”

Although this money was all taken from the Zhou family, in Yuan's father's eyes, it was his daughter's own dowry.

"Zhaozhao, keep this silver for yourself. You can keep it as your own personal savings or use it as your dowry in the future."

With hundreds of thousands of taels of silver and so many jewels, Yuan Zhao could live very well.

"Dowry money?"

Yuan Zhao was slightly taken aback; she had never considered remarrying.

The Yuan father and son exchanged a glance and said:

“We’ve already started looking for someone for you. My Zhaozhao is such a wonderful person; she’s bound to meet someone who truly cares for you in the future.”

Yuan Zhao: "..."

She really didn't know that her father and brothers had already been looking for suitable partners for her. Wasn't this a bit too hasty?

She had just divorced her husband, and her father and brothers were already looking for suitable men for her.

She knew that if she said she didn't want to get married, her father and brothers would blame themselves, thinking she still couldn't let go of Zhou Shiyuan, so she could only say it tactfully:

"Father, eldest brother, second brother, there's no rush."

"Let's discuss this after things have settled down in our family."

Upon hearing this, Yuan's father waved his hand dismissively:

"These two things don't conflict. Father is going to the military camp tomorrow. Would you like to go and see him?"

"There are many fine young men in the army!"
