Chapter 5: The legitimate daughter

Zhao Wanyue, who had always been docile, suddenly changed her temper. Liu had a guilty conscience and had no choice but to let her do what she wanted.

As a result, many valuable things were found in the rooms of Zhang Mama and her family, and Zhao Wanyue's dowry from her private storehouse was found in the room of Zhang Mama's daughter.

Zhao Wanyue asked with a fake smile: "Mother, you wouldn't give the key to my private storehouse to a servant for safekeeping! When you said that life was difficult in the mansion, your daughter-in-law willingly handed over the things in the private storehouse to you, but how come my things ended up in the hands of a lowly servant?"

Madam Zhao continued to complain: "Mother-in-law, you are a dignified duke's mansion after all. You can live on your daughter-in-law's dowry, but how could you do this to my daughter?" Liu

smiled awkwardly and said: "It must be that old woman Zhang who stole the key, that is, the one who stole the key some time ago . Cash flow was tight at home some time, so I used some things and later returned them. Who knew that this old man would steal them? Don't worry, I will give you an explanation."

Zhao Wanyue said obediently, "I knew mother would keep her word. I just used some and would never touch my things. Please give me the key to the private vault and I will ask Lian Xuan and Baizhi to count them. As for these things, they are already dirty and I don't need them. Just give them to me in cash!"

Liu smiled wryly and said, "I don't have the key with me now. I will count the things and send them to you in person!"

[Hahaha, mother is awesome. Liu is going to sell everything to make up for mother's dowry. Her biological daughter from Baihua Lane will be so mad that the duck she got is gone again. Mother, keep this up and take down Liu.】

Baihua Lane, biological daughter? Zhao Wanyue vaguely remembered Xiaoxiao saying before that Liu would give the title to his biological son. Could it be...

Zhao Wanyue didn't dare to think further. The Duke of Zhenguo fell ill on the battlefield and has been paralyzed in bed for many years. The Duke's Mansion was supported by Liu and her husband. Su Bowen had a deep affection for Liu, the mother.

If it was really as she thought, how could Bowen bear this blow.

Liu was worried that Zhang's family would expose herself, so she had to punish them personally. Zhao Wanyue was happy to be free. As long as she sent someone to keep an eye on them, she would know what Liu was up to.

Mrs. Zhao had never expected that the Duke's Mansion would be like this. Her daughter had two reliable people, Lian Xuan and Bai Zhi, in her hands. She thought for a while and said, "Your sister-in-law has a good group of shadow guards. Can I lend you a few?"

Zhao Wanyue naturally wanted it more than willing, but thinking about the relationship between her mother and her sister-in-law, she couldn't help asking, "Will your sister-in-law agree?"

Mrs. Zhao said angrily, "That's my business!" Mrs.

Zhao wanted to hear Xiaoxiao's opinion, but when she looked down, the little guy had fallen asleep a long time ago. She patted the cradle lovingly and said, "Xiaoxiao, be good. Grandmother will prepare a full-month gift for you!"

Not long after Mrs. Zhao left, Li Yunshu's secret guards arrived. Zhao Wanyue assigned tasks to them respectively, and waited for her husband to return with peace of mind.

Xiaoxiao said that her husband was safe and sound, so her husband must be fine.

Soon, the shadow guard came to report that Liu had indeed gone to a large house in Baihua Lane at night.

The owner of the house was surnamed Sun, a minor official in the Ministry of Personnel. The strange thing was that the mistress of the Sun family called Liu "mother", and they seemed to be arguing about jewelry!

Su Xiaoxiao sighed:

[That was the child born to Liu and her mistress, and my father was born to my grandfather's wife. Unfortunately, my grandmother was killed by Liu, and my grandfather and father were kept in the dark.]

Zhao Wanyue couldn't help shaking her hands. Bowen was not his mother-in-law's child, and his biological mother was killed by his mother-in-law. This matter contained a lot of information, and she couldn't digest it for a while.

In Baihua Lane, Sun Caidie watched with dismay as boxes of gold, silver and jewels were loaded into Liu's carriage.

She said unwillingly, "Mother, please leave some for me. Many of them are bought by me myself!"

Liu advised her kindly, "Don't worry, daughter. Wait until I deal with that little bitch. As long as you are obedient, won't everything in the mansion be yours in the future?"

Sun Caidie got angry when she heard this, "Mother, you are lying to me again. Even if the couple dies, everything there belongs to your son. I will rot in Baihua Lane for the rest of my life, relying on the melons and dates you give me. "Mother ,

you are too biased. I am obviously the legitimate daughter of the mansion, and these things should have been mine. You even gave the things given to you and your legitimate granddaughter to that bastard's child! Yingying, why are you so unlucky? You have only worn this longevity lock for less than a month, and your grandmother wants to take it back."

Liu was also uncomfortable. Although she helped her daughter in all these years, Caidie did not have a good life compared to the days in the Duke's Mansion.

A month ago, grandson Caidie gave birth to a daughter, and the old lady took a lot of good things from Zhao Wanyue's private storehouse, thinking of getting rid of Zhao Wanyue and Su Bowen and taking her daughter and granddaughter back.

Who knew Zhao Wanyue was so lucky? Now she had to return these things intact, otherwise once Zhao Wanyue turned against her and let her family investigate, the fact that the cat replaced the prince would be exposed.

Liu said patiently: "Okay, stop crying. I'll buy a few shops for Yingying later!"

Sun Caidie held Liu's hand and said coquettishly: "A shop is of course good, but you have to leave something for Yingying as a remembrance. This gold bracelet is what mother usually wears. You don't have to return it to that bitch!"

Although Liu felt distressed, she could only shake helplessly. She shook her head: "You are so old, but you are still so coquettish, just like your father. I really can't do anything with you."

After comforting her daughter, Liu hurried back to count Zhao Wanyue's dowry. Although she had to bring back a lot, Sun Caidie's family was idle and extravagant, so many things had already been pawned. Liu had to reluctantly use her own money to make up for it.

The daughter-in-law Zheng Yaxian came over on the pretext of paying her respects. Seeing the room full of beautiful things, her eyes widened. She said in a sinister tone: "Are you really going to give all these to my eldest sister-in-law?"

Mrs. Liu felt pained and said unhappily: "What if you don't give them to me? I can snatch the dowry given by her parents' home!"

Zheng Yaxian said: "What are you talking about, mother-in-law? Since we are married to the Su family, we naturally have to share the worries of mother-in-law. What's wrong with my sister-in-law doing a little work for the family? Her parents' home is big and powerful. If she wants it, the Zhao Mansion will naturally send it to her."

Mrs. Liu sighed: "I have already promised in front of Mrs. Zhao, What else can we do?"

Zheng Yaxian smiled slyly: "If mother doesn't give it, can sister-in-law snatch it openly? Sister-in-law has always been filial. When brother is not around, she comes to ask for something. You just need to move brother out, what else can she do?"

Liu slapped her thigh: "Why didn't I think of it? It seems you are not that stupid!"

Zheng Yaxian rolled her eyes in her heart, but smiled flatteringly: "Mom, my mother's birthday is in a few days. I don't even have a decent piece of jewelry. I'm afraid it will embarrass you if I go!"

Liu scolded angrily: "If you want jewelry, go to your husband, and you come to me to ask for it!"

Zheng Yaxian immediately burst into tears: "Mother, Bohao has been missing for three days, where can I find my daughter-in-law!"

Liu looked at her second daughter-in-law with disgust and decided to ignore her.

At this time, the housekeeper came to report: "Old lady, the eldest lady is here."

Liu picked out the smallest hairpin in the box and handed it to Zheng Yaxian, saying: "Take this, and be more discerning later. You know what to say, right?"
