The next day, Chen Jingxi woke up early.
Unlike the past, she seemed particularly energetic today and no longer procrastinated at all.
After breakfast, he went straight to Chen's house. Wang was already waiting there with a smile on her face.
When Chen Jingxi saw her laugh, she could only laugh happier than her, "Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"
Wang: “???” Is this person possessed by evil spirits?
Chen Jingxi was just laughing with his head raised, and the next second he fell flat on his face.
The scene suddenly stopped.
She stood up calmly, adjusted the golden hairpin on her head, and kicked the door sill fiercely. "I told you not to trip me up, to do bad things to me, to take advantage of me, I will kick you to death."
Wang was stunned for a moment. Why did it sound like someone was cursing?
Chunmei came to her senses and hurriedly stopped her, "Princess, be careful not to hurt your foot."
"That makes sense." Chen Jingxi stopped, straightened his clothes, and sat calmly in the main seat.
Wang looked at the threshold with some distress, "Princess, I will have someone saw it off tomorrow."
"No, I'm done venting."
Wang was actually happy that her family had escaped disaster.
"Princess, I have already prepared the account books for you."
As she spoke, she gestured to a nanny beside her, who then handed her a thick stack of account books.
Chunmei stepped forward and took the account book from the nanny.
Chen Jingxi politely responded, "Thank you, mother, for your concern."
Wang waved her hand, still smiling: "We are all family there, so why be so formal?"
Chen Jingxi smiled slightly, picked up an account book and started flipping through it.
At first, her movements were effortless, but as the pages progressed, her fingers suddenly paused and her brow furrowed slightly.
"Mother, there seems to be something wrong with this account book." Chen Jingxi said lightly.
A subtle flash of panic flashed across Wang's face for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure and asked in a puzzled tone, "Oh? What's wrong? I don't see it."
Chen Jingxi didn't answer immediately. Instead, he carefully pointed to a section of the account book and said, "The expenditure here has clearly exceeded the budget. The discrepancy is quite large."
Wang forced a smile on her face and tried to explain, "Perhaps there was some mistake in the accounting. I'll have someone recheck it."
Chen Jingxi nodded, closed the account book, and did not ask any further questions.
Wang immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Jingxi picked up the dowry list beside her, opened it, and slid her fingers lightly across it.
She raised her head and looked directly at Wang. "Mother, this list seems to be different from what I remember."
Wang's face showed an unnatural smile, and she hurriedly explained: "How is this possible? This is the list of your dowry when you got married. Not a word has been changed. If you don't believe me, you can take out your own list and compare it."
Chen Jingxi laughed. Could it be that Wang knew her share was missing? That's why she said that so confidently.
Wang was secretly proud of herself. She was sure that Chen Jingxi could not have that list. Not long after she got married, she became tired of all the trouble and returned the account books and the dowry list.
Chen Jingxi glanced at her and continued, "Mother, look here, these shops shouldn't be here."
Wang hastily denied it, her voice slightly sharp: "No, you must have remembered it wrongly, these shops are indeed yours."
Chen Jingxi exclaimed, "Oh!" "So that's how it is. Maybe my father gave me an extra dowry without my knowledge?"
When Wang heard the word "add to the dowry," her expression turned confused. "What do you mean by adding to the dowry?"
Chen Jingxi asked innocently, "Isn't it? Since my mother said these shops are mine, and my mother's dowry list doesn't include these shops, I guess my father bought them for me."
Wang's expression suddenly froze, and she almost cried out in surprise, "Madam's dowry list? Where did you get it?"
Chen Jingxi smiled and said, "It's like this. My aunt heard that I was going to take care of my own dowry, so she sent me my mother's dowry list, saying that she was afraid I might make a mistake."
After hearing this, Wang's face turned pale instantly. She took a few steps back and slumped in the chair.
Chen Jingxi looked at her with a smile.
The woman's dowry list was in triplicate, one copy each for her husband's family, her parents' family, and her official family. No one knew where her copy had gone, and the one Wang showed her was definitely not the real one.
If she goes to the government to ask for it, things will be much more troublesome. If she goes directly to the Zhou family to ask for Zhou's share, Mrs. Zhou will definitely give it to her.
I got a few shops for free, so I have to add a few more dishes tonight to celebrate.
"Mother, I'll go back first. If there's anything wrong, I'll ask someone to copy it and send it to me, and you can fill it in." After saying that, she turned and left.
Now, no matter how much Wang consoled herself, she could not deceive herself by saying that Chen Jingxi did not know how much the dowry was.
Damn it.
She worked so hard for so many years, but ended up making things difficult for others. She always treated Chen Jingxi as a fool, but it turned out that she was the complete fool.
She couldn't help but think of the time before Zhou's death when she let the Zhou family into the house. She thought Zhou wanted the Zhou family to take good care of Chen Jingxi, but she didn't expect that they were on guard against her.
As soon as she went out, Chen Jingxu walked towards her, but Chen Jingxi ignored her.
Chen Jingxu's gaze lingered on Chen Jingxi's back for a moment, then she quickly walked into the house.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw Wang sitting in a chair in a depressed state.
Chen Jingxu hurried forward and shook Wang's shoulders, "Mom, what's wrong with you? What happened?"
Wang's eyes were empty, and it took her a while to come back to her senses. Her lips trembled, "She...she found out. She actually found out that I replaced her dowry."
Chen Jingxu exclaimed, "What should we do? Now we have nothing. Isn't all our efforts in vain?"
Wang suddenly raised her head and shouted, "Shut up!"
Chen Jingxu was startled by Wang's roar and whispered, "Mom, you must think of a way. Don't let her take everything away!"
A fierce look flashed in Wang's eyes, and she gritted her teeth and said, "No."
As soon as Chen Jingxi stepped out of the hanging flower gate, he was stopped by a burst of rapid shouting.
"Princess, the old lady asks you to come over."
