Young Master Zhong's hand, which was resting on the windowsill, tightened its grip on the windowsill, and the flesh on his face twitched.
A mother's dowry is always divided among her own children, not necessarily all of it to her daughter as Jiang Shuxue claims.
However, earlier, Princess Shouguang had expressed her intention that all of her dowry would be brought to the Zhong family by Jiang Shuxue.
Now that Jiang Shijing has inexplicably recovered, it's a family matter, and he wasn't particularly concerned about it.
However, Jiang Shijing wanted to take 70% of the dowry from Princess Shouguang, which was related to his own interests.
He wasn't very interested in Jiang Shuxue; the reason he married her was because of the dowry that Princess Shouguang brought from Prince Lu's mansion.
Because, although the Zhong family appears to be prestigious and honorable, they have actually been in debt for several years and are unable to make ends meet.
This hole must be filled.
Once the position is filled, he can then make Yang Yingzhi his concubine, killing two birds with one stone.
This was originally a perfect plan, but who knew that Jiang Shijing would interfere?
“Princess Shouguang has already made her stance clear, and your younger brother’s actions are indeed unkind.”
The more Mr. Zhong reacted this way, the more certain Jiang Shuxue became that he was only marrying her for her dowry.
He puts on a respectable facade, but what kind of good person is he really?
In that case, dragging him down with us is the best option.
“I have no way to stop him. After all, my younger brother is very intelligent and Father values him highly. Whatever he wants, Father will probably give him his wish. Now that Father is in high spirits about his recovery, he will agree as long as he asks.”
“If Mother doesn’t agree, my younger brother will have to go to Father, and we’ll be getting married, so I think things are a bit urgent.”
Young Master Zhong's furrowed brows, filled with worry, gradually transformed into resentment.
That crazy lunatic, now that he's recovered, he wants to steal the dowry and ruin his plans.
He even suspected that Jiang Shijing might be his nemesis.
"How about this, Miss Jiang, you go back first, and I'll give you some time to think about it."
Young Master Zhong made no attempt to hide his greed and attachment to the dowry. In any case, Jiang Shuxue had liked him since childhood and was determined to marry him no matter what.
It's better for her to know that he's after the dowry, so that after marriage she won't ask him for things like mutual respect and deep affection, which he can't provide.
“I also hope there can be a peaceful solution. After all, Shijing is my own brother, and I am in a dilemma between my brother and my future husband.” Jiang Shuxue pretended to touch the corner of her eye with her sleeve.
Young Master Zhong was filled with irritation and didn't even glance back at her.
After Jiang Shuxue left, Young Master Zhong tapped his fingers on the windowsill, his mind racing with thoughts.
If you try to persuade Jiang Shijing not to fight for the dowry, he will certainly not listen and may even turn against you.
The dowry items haven't reached the Zhong family yet; they're all in the hands of Princess Shouguang. There's a lot of room for maneuver in who gets them, and Lord Jiang can also intervene.
There is a foolproof plan: if Jiang Shijing didn't exist, then no one would covet those dowries.
He could even use Jiang Shuxue to gain access to the Jiang family's business.
After all, Jiang Shuxue's two younger brothers, who were born out of wedlock, were not very useful.
A murderous intent welled up in Young Master Zhong's heart.
He returned to his residence and instructed a hidden guard: "Send a letter to Young Master Jiang, saying that the summer scenery is beautiful and I invite him to go for a spring outing near Baimatan in the eastern suburbs."
Qiao Lian'er also went to the Zhong family. She thought to herself, Yang Yingzhi is Zhizhi's best friend. It's really unlucky that she was chosen by someone like Young Master Zhong.
