Suihuayuan worked all night long before he recorded and stored the confirmed dowry one by one.
Si Jinxing stood in the full warehouse, admiring the results of his work today.
These things that originally belonged to the original owner will be returned.
But the girl's life could never be brought back.
Si Jinxing personally carried a rosewood carved makeup box and returned to her room.
How could she forget the rainy night in the villa outside Beijing when she had just arrived here and was almost strangled to death.
She also did not forget the vicious coachman holding a knife on the way back to Beijing.
Some accounts should be settled slowly, which makes it more interesting.
Compared with the "rich harvest" of Suihua Garden, Lihua Garden seems a little too bleak!
In the morning, a warehouse full of money and valuables was mysteriously lost, and in the evening, a whole yard of various valuables were lost!
I will send tens of thousands of taels of silver tomorrow!
Those dowry items that cannot be recovered will probably have to be converted into silver to make up for it!
Zhou sat on the couch with a gloomy face and said nothing.
Si Jinyue had already left the house, leaving only Si Jinyun to accompany Zhou.
Although she was angry, she didn't know how to comfort her mother.
After all, she had already said that there was no need for Si Jinxing to marry in her place, so the dowry did not have to be repaid!
However, both my mother and elder sister disagreed.
She was about to leave and go back to her room when she heard the sound of a teacup breaking on the ground!
Si Jinyun turned around and saw a white jade bowl shattered at Zhou's feet, with small pieces flying far away.
Mother Liu hurried out and called the little girl to come and clean up.
"Mother." She walked closer to Zhou and sighed softly:
"Mother, don't be embarrassed. This matter can still be salvaged."
Zhou stared blankly at her little daughter in front of her, and shook her head gently:
"I know what you're thinking, but this is absolutely not allowed.
The news has spread everywhere. I'm afraid the Ninth Prince won't be able to hold out for much longer. How could Mother bear to see you provoke that man?"
If he dies before the engagement, you are an unlucky person.
If he dies after getting engaged but before getting married, you will be unlucky in marriage.
If he dies after getting married, you will not be able to bring him good luck.
Zhou breathed a sigh of relief.
Forget it, forget it, I'll just use that money to help my little daughter get rid of her troubles.
Si Jinyun walked out of Lihua Garden and subconsciously looked in the direction of Suihua Garden.
If this marriage is really as my mother said, why would my second sister agree to it so easily?
Isn't she afraid of those bad reputations?
For some reason, she always felt that something was strange.
After Si Jinyun left, Zhou's clenched fists loosened.
She remembered what Yue'er said when she left:
According to the Dragon's Roar Law, if a woman dies in her husband's family and leaves no children, her dowry will be returned to her parents' family...
The morning light is dim, and a cool breeze blows gently.
Si Jinxing had just fallen asleep when it was almost dawn last night. She was sleeping soundly when she was woken up by the noisy sound outside the door.
She rubbed her eyes, which she couldn't open, and felt so comfortable that she didn't want to think anymore.
Then I heard Yan Fei knock on the door and call out "Miss" softly, then she pushed the door open and walked in.
Si Jinxing didn't move either, grabbing the quilt and refusing to get up.
Yan Fei pursed her lips and smiled, not knowing when her young lady had developed this habit of staying in bed.
The weather has been getting a bit cooler lately, and I can’t get out of bed anymore.
"Miss, you'd better get up quickly and go outside to take a look. The lady and the old lady have sent people."
Si Jinxing had no choice but to dress neatly and go out.
I saw Mama Liu, Mama Lu, and the housekeeper, who had been waiting in the yard for a long time.
There was only a wooden box in the yard and no other objects.
Madam Liu wore a flattering smile and said, "Greetings to the Second Young Lady. This old servant has come to bring something to the Second Young Lady."
"Second Miss, part of the dowry yesterday was replaced with inferior goods, and it was not intentional on the part of Madam.
Those good things had been kept safely in the warehouse, but for some reason they were lost.
But the Madam said that the loss of the items was due to her negligence in supervision as the mistress of the house, and it also caused an unnecessary rift between you and your daughter.
Look, the lady converted all the lost dowry into silver and asked the old servant to give it to the second young lady.
There are a total of 7,300 taels of silver. Miss, are you satisfied with it?"
Si Jinxing took the conversion list and listed everything clearly.
She nodded in agreement. If it weren't for the fact that there were two precious calligraphy and paintings among them, whose value was inestimable, the 7,300 taels would not be considered too low.
But...would Zhou be so generous? Si Jinxing was thinking to herself.
Then I heard Mother Liu sigh softly.
Si Jinxing frowned and said, "Hmph, I'm afraid you are not willing to pay those tens of thousands of taels of silver?"
As expected, Mother Liu said with an embarrassed yet generous expression:
"Also... Regarding those shops, to be honest, Miss, they haven't been doing well in recent years. Most of them haven't made much profit, and some have even been making losses year after year.
The young lady is now going to take charge of those shops herself, and the lady is worried about her young age and can't bear to let her spend money on them, so she has sent someone with silver today to fill up all the holes.
These are the account books, Miss, you can find out by checking them out."
Si Jinxing glanced coldly at the dozens of account books in the wooden box, without even taking out a single one, and said unhappily:
"Whether there is profit or not is not up to your wife to decide. I only charge according to the average profit of my peers.
These account books, ah, are just for fooling people, why bother with all this trouble? Just move them back the same way you moved them here.
Go back and tell your wife that it's only an hour until the time you agreed to meet the Ninth Prince."
