Su Liluo found it even more amusing.
Originally, she only planned to send these counterfeit goods back first, so as not to occupy the Crown Prince's warehouse.
When the Su family discovers the goods are fake and comes looking for her again, she will take the opportunity to extort money from them.
But I didn't expect Jiang Qinshu to be so anxious and to discover something was wrong so quickly.
Su Liluo smiled and looked at Su Wanshi, a glance that suddenly made Su Wanshi feel a chill.
Su Liluo chuckled softly, "Of course it's your fault!"
"Wh...what?"
Su Wanshi's face froze. She had only pretended to be the one who was understanding in order to appear sympathetic.
Why is Su Liluo getting so arrogant?
"The gifts I brought back for my return visit this time are the dowry you gave me last time! If they're fake, wouldn't that mean you gave me counterfeit goods as my dowry?"
Before Su Wanshi could understand, Su Liluo smiled slightly.
Preparing counterfeit goods as part of the Crown Princess's dowry is another crime.
Su Wanshi felt her head buzzing and she could barely sit still.
Who would use their dowry as a return gift for their bride's family?
How dare Su Liluo!
Jiang Qinshu was equally surprised; she never expected Su Liluo to pull such a move!
Now look what's happened. Even if she successfully framed him, the person she ended up harming was her own precious darling, Su Wanshi.
Jiang Qinshu was stunned for a while before she reacted and quickly turned around to scold the maid.
"What nonsense are you spouting! How could something sent by the Crown Princess be fake? Get down here right now!"
The maid was terrified and quickly tried to retreat with her head down.
Unexpectedly, Su Liluo suddenly stood up.
"Second Aunt! It's no small matter if this dowry is fake. Whether it's real or fake, we have to go and take a look. It would be best to have someone verify it!"
"Well...we don't have a treasurer in our household, so let's just forget about it!"
Jiang Qinshu said guiltily, while constantly gesturing to the maid with her eyes, telling her to quickly go and remove the fake goods she had prepared.
Seeing Jiang Qinshu's reaction, Su's father immediately understood that she must have done something behind the scenes.
After cursing Jiang Qinshu for being stupid in his heart, he still shamelessly spoke up.
"Let's just forget about this, Your Highness. Since you've already given us your dowry as a return gift, we naturally believe it's real, and there's no need to go through the trouble of verifying it."
Hearing her father's words, Su Wanshi felt somewhat relieved.
After taking a breath, he also advised, "Yes, of course we believe the Crown Princess. Let's just let this matter go. Don't be fooled by this maid who talks nonsense. The manor will have someone teach these talkative servants a lesson later."
Su Liluo slightly curled her lips, "How can that be? If we don't let the treasure master investigate, wouldn't I be falsely accused for no reason?"
Now that I am the Crown Princess, my every word and action represents His Highness the Crown Prince. It would be a small matter if I lost face, but it would be terrible if I implicated His Highness.
"Your Highness, don't you agree?"
Xiao Ye never expected that coming to the Su family would lead to such a good show.
If Su Liluo hadn't been quick-witted, wouldn't she have been bullied by the Su family?
He was also quite curious to see what interesting things would happen next, so he nodded in agreement.
"I think the Crown Princess is right. Let's invite a treasure keeper to take a look!"
"Your Highness, this..."
Father Su was shocked and looked anxiously at Jiang Qinshu.
Jiang Qinshu nodded to him secretly, indicating that he had already taken care of it.
He then felt relieved and didn't say anything more.
Jiang Qinshu's eyes darted around again. She remembered the last time they searched the Crown Prince's residence, but they found nothing.
Suddenly, I felt that this might be a turning point.
Hiring a treasure collector from outside to the Su residence would surely take some time.
By then, the counterfeit goods she had prepared would have been disposed of long ago.
Su Liluo's behavior shows that she doesn't trust them and is slapping them in the face. Shouldn't she be able to make some demands?
So Jiang Qinshu imitated Su Liluo's wording from last time.
He spoke seriously: "The Crown Princess even sent someone outside to invite the Imperial Treasure Keeper to come and see. It's obvious that she doesn't trust our Su family. If this gets out, it will damage our reputation."
If the later inspection confirms everything is true, we are truly heartbroken that our well-intentioned preparation of a lavish dowry for the Crown Princess has been met with such skepticism. We hope the Crown Princess can provide us with an explanation.
"An explanation? What kind of explanation do you want?"
Su Liluo was almost laughing with joy.
She was just thinking about how to rip them off again when Jiang Qinshu delivered himself right to her doorstep.
Jiang Qinshu said, "Just like last time when we misunderstood the Crown Princess, if it turns out to be true, the Crown Princess has to apologize to us and compensate us with double the return gift."
"Oh? If it turns out to be fake, will you compensate me with double my dowry?"
Su Liluo was secretly laughing hysterically, but she pretended to be very calm on the surface.
Jiang Qinshu had no idea that the dowry Su Wanshi gave was fake; she thought it really was what had been moved out of the main house of the Su family.
Therefore, she was very confident about these dowry items.
Anyway, she had already had her maid dispose of the fake goods she had prepared, and the verification later would only embarrass Su Liluo.
Thinking that Su Liluo would compensate her with double the return gift, she agreed without hesitation.
Su Wanshi, however, panicked and shouted, "Second Aunt, you can't do this!"
Su Liluo is clearly trying to trick them!
She now understood that Su Liluo had known all along that the dowry was fake, which was why she was willing to send it back as a return gift.
