"If Minister Gu can't even handle this little thing, then there's no need for him to attend court tomorrow!"
Li Tianze said coldly that if Gu Jinyu was not Fubao's biological father, he would have killed this man long ago.
But he gave him a chance, but he still didn't give Fubao justice.
In that case, then don’t be the Shangshu.
Their Nanzhao's Fubao cannot be bullied like this, not even by his own father.
"No, no, that's not what I meant."
Seeing the prince getting angry, Gu Jinyu didn’t dare to favor Shen Yunyun anymore.
"Yanran, I know I was wrong. I'll go back now and ask Shen Yunyun to apologize to you. How about putting her in solitary confinement for a year?"
In his eyes, putting Chen Yunyun in solitary confinement was already a severe punishment.
Wang Yanran sneered: "I don't need Shen Yunyun to apologize. If you really know your mistake, return my dowry to me in its original state."
"How can this be possible?"
Gu Jinyu refused immediately. Even though he didn't care about the affairs of the harem, he knew that the Shangshu Mansion had actually been relying on Wang Yanran's dowry to survive over the years.
Wang Yanran's dowry was really generous. With this dowry, he passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar, built up many connections, married the daughter of the prime minister, and lived a good life today.
Even though he was now a minister, his annual salary was not enough to cover the expenses of the Shangshu Mansion. They were able to live so comfortably because of Queen Yanran's dowry.
What's funny is that they lived a comfortable life with Wang Yanran's dowry, but Wang Yanran had a hard time making ends meet.
In the past, Wang Yanran endured it for the sake of her sons, but now, Gu Jinyu can even kill her sons and cut off all ties with them. How can she endure it anymore?
"Why not? You, the dignified Shangshu, don't care about a merchant girl like me, so naturally you won't care about my dowry. Now I've figured it out. Since you don't care about me, I can choose not to return to the Shangshu Mansion. But you, the dignified Shangshu, shouldn't be greedy for the dowry of a little concubine like me, right?"
In front of the prince, Gu Jinyu's face was full of embarrassment.
It is a great shame and humiliation for a minister to need the dowry from his concubine to make a living.
But this is the fact!
"Yanran, come back with me first, and we'll talk about other things slowly. I promise I'll give you justice, okay?"
He suppressed his anger and wanted to persuade Wang Yanran to go back and then teach her a lesson.
But Wang Yanran had seen through him and would not be fooled.
"No, I'm putting my words here today. If you don't return my dowry, I'll find someone to collect the debt. Anyway, I'm not afraid of losing face. It depends on whether you, a dignified Shangshu, can afford to lose face."
Wow, mommy is so great!
Fubao kept cheering, she really liked such a strong mother.
Hearing Fubao's inner thoughts, Wang Yanran lowered her eyes to look at her, and her brows softened instantly.
"My dear Fubao, mother will bring back the dowry soon, and then mother will build you a golden house."
Fubao's little mouth opened wide.
"Wow, mother is so majestic. Fubao loves it so much."
She likes gold, the gold that is shiny and feels heavy in her hands.
Wang Yanran smiled. It seemed that her daughter took after her. She came from a merchant family and loved gold the most.
It's just that my brain was filled with water during those years. I liked Gu Jinyu more than gold, and I was controlled by him.
Now that she has come to her senses, she wants to beat up her old self. If she hadn't been so stupid back then, she would definitely be the richest person in the country now.
"Mother will definitely prepare lots of gold for Fubao in the future so that he can do whatever he wants."
What's the point of being a man? In one's life, the most important thing is to have money and be able to keep it.
She also figured it out. Now she wanted to separate from Gu Jinyu, get her dowry back, and then work hard to make money to provide Fubao with enough confidence.
"Uh-huh!"
Fubao felt very happy, but when he looked at Gu Jinyu, his brows furrowed again.
"It's obvious that my scumbag dad doesn't want to pay me back, and he spent so much money that he can't pay me back even if he wants to. I'm afraid that my mother won't be able to get all her dowry back.
It's annoying. Mom's money is for building a golden house for Fubao. Every copper coin they spend becomes the golden edging of Fubao's house. I feel so sad.
No, they must spit out what they have eaten and return what they have used!"
The little baby was mumbling, and Wang Yanran's heart trembled when she heard it. It seemed that Fubao was going to do something big.
But she didn't stop him at the moment. She knew that although Fubao was young, she had a bad temper. If she wasn't allowed to vent her anger, she would definitely get sick.
Moreover, Fubao is now protected by the royal family, so he is not afraid of being targeted by Gu Jinyu.
The more she shows her abilities, the more the emperor likes her!
For some reason, Gu Jinyu trembled all over, and that ominous feeling came over him again.
"Yanran, I can't come up with so much money right now. Can you give me some time to prepare?"
He felt humiliated when he heard such words in front of the prince.
"Okay, for the sake of our marriage, I'll give you three days. If you don't bring out my dowry after three days, I'll let everyone know who you, Gu Jinyu, are!"
After Wang Yanran finished speaking, she got on the carriage without looking back.
"Minister Gu, take care of yourself!"
The prince gave a warning, rode his horse to catch up with the carriage, and headed towards the Imperial Master's Mansion.
Gu Jinyu broke out in a cold sweat, he didn't understand why things turned out like this.
Gu Fengxi is obviously the lucky star, why does a Fubao appear now?
Shen Yunyun chased all the way and finally caught up with Gu Jinyu.
She thought a lot along the way and knew that Gu Jinyu might have doubts about Gu Fengxi's identity and wanted to take Fubao back.
How can this be?
"Husband, that bastard is a disaster. Look at your legs, my hair, and our Feng Xi. What has become of them? She has ruined them all.
Our family was fine before, but since she was born, everything has gone wrong. She is trying to harm us."
Gu Jinyu was stunned. What Shen Yunyun said was what he was thinking.
It was only when the imperial teacher and the master invited by the clan leader both said that Fubao was the lucky star, and the prince personally brought Fubao back to the capital that he felt that Fubao might really be the lucky star?
"Husband, others think that bastard is a lucky star. They only see how powerful Fubao is. But we are the ones who are persecuted by that bastard. No one knows better than us how terrifying that bastard is."
Shen Yunyun's words made Gu Jinyu completely certain that Fubao was a disaster star.
"But even if she is a disaster star, now that she is protected by the emperor, we have no way to deal with her."
"What's even more abominable is that Wang Yanran is now relying on the fact that the emperor favors that bastard and wants me to return the dowry to her."
"What?"
Shen Yunyun's face changed drastically. She knew better than Gu Jinyu that every brick and tile of the Shangshu Mansion came from Wang Yanran's dowry. Even many valuable items in the Xiangfu Mansion came from Wang Yanran's dowry.
If they returned Wang Yanran's dowry, they would be left penniless.
