Chapter 23 Taking Back Mother's Dowry 1



"Ye Feng, take the young master back home!" Gu Qingchen said lightly.

Ye Feng obeyed the order and put down the book in his hand, then grabbed Gu Huaifeng by the collar and flew away like a chicken...

Gu Huaifeng was alone and messy in the wind...

I don't know how I offended this plague god. Gu Qingchen actually humiliated myself in front of that ugly freak Tang Chuyao!

"Come here!" Gu Qingchen stretched out his hand towards Tang Chuyao.

Under the peach tree, the wind blows, petals fall, and it seems like a pink peach blossom rain is falling.

Gu Qingchen's handsome face was full of warmth, like the warm sunshine in spring, tearing a hole in Tang Chuyao's cold heart, and the warm sunshine shone in, bringing an indescribable warmth and comfort...

Tang Chuyao walked over as if possessed by a ghost and placed her hand on Gu Qingchen's large palm.

The little one is like a cute little kitten, small and weak...

Gu Qingchen raised the corner of his mouth, creating a charming arc that instantly fascinated Tang Chuyao!

The kitten seemed very satisfied with its own appearance. Gu Qingchen didn't care about appearance at first, but when he saw Tang Chuyao's cute little look, a touch of satisfaction emerged in his heart!

Satisfied with your looks! And also seduce the kitten with sex!

"Just do whatever you want to do boldly!" Tang Chuyao felt a warmth in her hand and looked down. She didn't know when Gu Qingchen put a piece of high-quality warm jade in her palm.

The warm jade is snow-white all over and has the word "Jin" carved on it.

When Tang Chuyao looked up, Gu Qingchen was no longer in the yard, but her ears were still ringing with Gu Qingchen's words, "This is the secret guard order of the Ye generation, which can command all the secret guards in my house!"

The warm touch beside her ear seemed to still be there, and two blushes appeared on Tang Chuyao's cheeks...

Madam Rong and Madam Li are indeed the elders in the palace. In less than an hour, they returned with a full load!

Two maids were seen walking in front of them with high spirits, followed by a group of old women, maids and servants. Each of them was holding various things in their hands, including boxes full of gold, silver and jewelry, a dazzling array of jade hairpins, fine silks and satins, huanghuali wood tables and chairs, red sandalwood beds, some toys and ornaments, blue and white porcelain, and seven or eight screens...

Tang Chuyao was stunned. Did they empty Rong Jintang?

In the past, she pursued the so-called family affection, and she turned a blind eye to the old lady occupying her mother's dowry. But now that she has been reborn, she has long known the true faces of these people! How could she tolerate them to continue to bully her!

"You two maids have worked so hard! Dujuan, please serve some tea so that you two maids can have a good rest!"

Dujuan went to make tea happily, with quick steps and in a good mood!

"Miss, this is the list of Madam's dowry, please take a look!" Nanny Li stepped forward and handed Tang Chuyao a list.

This list was kept by the Imperial Concubine's aunt. Tang Chuyao never mentioned her mother's dowry, so Imperial Concubine Chi kept it.

It was not until a week ago when Du Juan came to the palace to ask for a meeting that people knew that Tang Chuyao had finally come to her senses!

Concubine Chi was very pleased: she thought her niece would always be so weak, but unexpectedly she became so strong!

After hearing Du Juan's words, she immediately asked someone to find out her sister's dowry list, and sent two capable maids to help Tang Chuyao ask for the dowry!

This happened to be the time when His Majesty was cleaning up corruption in the court. Ordinary people dared not offend His Majesty at this time. No matter how much you embezzled or how long you embezzled, you will be made to spit it out!

Madam Rong and Madam Li immediately said respectfully, "Miss, this is our job!"

"I heard that Aunt Mei in the mansion also took a lot of it. This old slave will handle this matter together today, so that I can return to the palace and report to the queen as soon as possible, so that the queen can rest assured!"

Tang Chuyao smiled slightly and said, "The two maids don't have to worry. As for Aunt Mei, I want to ask for it myself!"

"If you can't get it resolved, ask the two maids to help!"

Madam Rong and Madam Li both smiled knowingly. They knew very well that the Imperial Concubine valued this young lady, and they also knew that the Imperial Concubine had always wanted to train Tang Chuyao.

The two of them were not worried that Tang Chuyao would suffer any loss. If Tang Chuyao couldn't handle it, it would be the same if they took action again!

After Du Juan made the tea, she followed Tang Chuyao to Meixiang Courtyard.

But before Tang Chuyao walked into the courtyard, she saw a familiar figure in the distance.

The leader was a woman, followed by her maids and servants.

The woman had a head full of pearls and jade, and was wearing a brocade long dress. She had a slightly plump figure, which made her look a bit like a nouveau riche.

This woman was Gu Huaifeng's mother, Li Qingqiu, whose father was the magistrate of Jinling.

Because her family was not very powerful, marrying Gu Shengyue was a bit of a step up. However, she was beautiful when she was young, and Gu Shengyue was young and arrogant. He was bewitched by her and ignored his family's opinions, insisting on marrying Li Qingqiu.

In this way, Li Qingqiu married into the Xuanping Marquis Mansion and became Gu Shengyue's wife. However, Gu Shengyue's ability was average and he was always suppressed by Gu Qingchen. It was not until Gu Qingchen was named regent that Gu Shengyue had the opportunity to inherit the title of marquis and become Xuanping Marquis.

Li Qingqiu also rose to become the marquis's wife, and began to feel proud. She wished all the jewels could be hers!

If the emperor had not recently launched a strict investigation into corruption and officials had not been asked to be frugal, Li Qingqiu would probably have dressed even more extravagantly!

In her previous life, Tang Chuyao suffered a lot at the hands of Li Qingqiu!

The first thing is to calculate her dowry!

Tang Chuyao didn't know what Li Qingqiu's Aunt Mei and her good grandmother said, asking them to return most of their mother's dowry to her!

Therefore, when she married Gu Huaifeng in her previous life, apart from returning this part of the dowry, the dowry that her aunt Guifei gave her was also taken away by Li Qingqiu on the grounds that he was the head of the family!

Tang Chuyao's eyes darkened when she thought of this. In her previous life, Li Qingqiu always seemed to be taking care of her, but in fact he was always plotting against her!

Li Qingqiu also happened to turn around and saw Tang Chuyao. He immediately walked forward with a smile on his face, took Tang Chuyao's hand, and said, "Chuyao, are you here to see Aunt Mei too?"

Tang Chuyao calmly pulled her hand back, smiled faintly, and watched Li Qingqiu's "performance" quietly!

"Chu Yao, look at you, you are at your prime, why don't you have any decent jewelry on your head?"

After saying this, he suddenly covered his mouth and said, "Oh, look at my mouth, I pity your biological mother who passed away early!" After saying this, he tried to squeeze out a few tears, but none came out, so he had to give up!

"Next time I'll let Chuntao pick out some jewelry for you!"

Without waiting for Tang Chuyao to speak, she immediately continued, "Don't be polite, Madam. We will be a family soon!"

Tang Chuyao pretended to be flattered and said, "Thank you, Madam!"
