Chapter 30: Just one morning after marrying in, she was forced to lose her composure

It was almost noon when Xu returned to her yard.

She visited her daughter as usual, and asked someone to go to the kitchen to prepare her son's favorite food and send it to the study in the front yard. Then she returned to her room, sent the maid away, and said she wanted to take a nap.

After the door was closed, she sat up from the bed, bent down and pulled out a locked old box from under the bed.

This box contains her dowry.

She never let her maids or servants get near her bed.

No one was allowed to touch her box.

And the first thing she did every morning when she got up was to open the boxes and check the dowry over and over again.

Everyone knew that she looked at the dowry as if it were her eyeballs, and even Pei Duan didn't dare to touch it.

But now, she was extremely nervous.

The key had to be swung in the lock several times before it was inserted correctly.

After opening it, among the grayish silver, plain gold bracelets, old-fashioned jewelry, a few silver bills and a stack of silk, the exquisite headpiece and delicate vase shining with gold and pearls were particularly eye-catching.

There is no doubt that this headdress and vase also belong to Luo Zhen.

Luo Zhen's pile of dowry made her jealous, and she wanted to take one of them, so she went to tease Pei Yu with words.

She knew best what kind of person this sister-in-law was.

Whatever this guy wants, he will get.

He does things without considering the consequences and is too reckless.

If she could do it.

She just had to follow her and pick up a few missing pieces.

Even if something happens, no one will suspect her with her in the lead.

Facts developed as she had imagined.

Pei Yu took advantage of the time when the servants and old women who were guarding the dowry were drunk, and sneaked over with a maidservant beside him to carry a load of boxes back.

She followed them all the time, and after they left, she quietly took two pieces back and locked them in a box.

She thought that after the incident, Pei Yu would be scolded, and then Luo Zhen would admit it and not pursue the matter.

It was announced to the public that the boxes were piled in a corner and not seen for a while, but in fact the boxes were not lost.

Isn’t this a win-win situation?

But I didn't expect it to turn out like this...

Zhou slid down from the bed, sat on the ground, and raised her hand to touch her chest.

When the maid was dragged away, her heart almost jumped out of her chest.

It's not all down yet.

That maid must be dead now, thrown to her mother and sister who had been released...

Alas, what a sin.

Zhou sat by herself for a while, gradually calming down. Looking at the exquisite head ornaments and vases in the boxes, she began to laugh again.

Fortunately, no one noticed her.

It’s a pity that these things cannot be kept. I have to find a chance to sell them. It’s more real to hold the silver notes in my hands.

In the east courtyard.

As soon as Luo Zhen came back, she lay down on the bed without changing her clothes or taking off her hair.

She would never have done such an unruly and impolite thing in the past.

But she is really too tired now.

The maid became a scapegoat.

Pei Yu saved his reputation.

But Xu became jealous of her box of dowry and asked her to give the dowry to her sister-in-law as a gift.

Luo Zhen had never seen such a shameless person.

She was extremely annoyed and frustrated.

He refused to give it to me and just said he would find a suitable gift tomorrow.

Xu's face was very long and she didn't want to pay any attention to it.

My head is still pounding and stars are flying in front of my eyes.

I don't even have the energy to follow rules or observe etiquette.

But the story didn't end there.

"Girl! This dowry is incomplete!"

Cai Lu and the other four maids were counting the boxes and baskets brought back from Pei Yu.

But after counting, I found that they did not match the missing ones in the front hall.

Cai Lu said, "We're still missing a gilded glass vase and a set of gold and jade head ornaments."

Luo Zhen’s teeth were about to break.

He still cheated!

Could it be that the mother and daughter were born thieves?

"What a son of a bitch!"

After this curse was uttered, the room suddenly fell silent.

The four maids looked at her in shock.

Luo Zhen herself was also stunned, with disbelief and even fear in her eyes.

Why would she say such dirty words!

Where did the court etiquette and elegant music she learned for years go?

Why did she say the same thing as that Xu!

Luo Zhen almost bit her lip.

He grabbed a pillow and threw it out, screaming.

"Get out! Get out!"
