Chapter 286 Loving Mother
Su Ying remembered that in the past, Xiao Jiang Yuanji would also ask her to bring her two children to the Prime Minister's Mansion, saying that she wanted to see her grandson.
At the beginning, "she" listened to Genji Koe very much and took the child back even though she didn't like him.
From what I recall, the children were always very happy when they first went there, but every time they went there afterwards, they would always shrink back in fear. "She" didn't care, so she didn't take it to heart. Now that I think about it, I wonder what they might have encountered in the Prime Minister's Mansion that would have caused them to react like this.
Xiao Jin picked up the two children, and the little ones immediately lay down behind Xiao Jin, unwilling to look at little Jiang Yuanshi.
Su Ying's eyebrows sank slightly, "Okay, I'll go back tomorrow."
Seeing that she agreed, Xiaojiang Yuanji smiled and said, "Mother will prepare your favorite food for you."
After saying this, Genji Koe turned and left.
After leaving the palace and getting on the carriage, Su Ying held the two children and asked, "Ji'er, Ling'er, tell mother, did that old lady bully you just now?"
Dabao's eyes were red, and he clutched Su Ying's clothes tightly, as if he was angry and afraid, "Mother, the needle hurts."
"What do you mean by acupuncture? Did she have someone prick you with a needle?"
Erbao puffed up his face and was very angry, "She is a bad guy."
The two were too young before and couldn't accurately express what happened at that time, but Su Ying could imagine how helpless and scared the two children were at that time!
brute!
Su Ying tried hard to suppress her anger and not to scare the child.
Xiao Jin's eyes were dark. After returning to the palace and handing the two children over to Mother Zhao to take them down to wash, he said, "I'll go with you tomorrow."
"How big of a reputation does the Prime Minister's Mansion have to have you come in person? Don't worry, I know my limits."
"The people in the Prime Minister's Mansion are too cunning." After all, the capital city is not like the northern wilderness, and she was afraid that she would be tricked into doing something complicated.
Su Ying sneered, "I can even straighten out her tangled intestines!"
Su Ying was still worried about the two kids, so after they fell asleep, she took them into the space and gave them a thorough check. Only after she made sure that there were no sharp weapons left on them did she feel relieved.
The next day.
Su Ying woke up early.
After she washed up, she called Mother Zhao into the house.
"Mother Zhao, do you have the dowry list for my mother when she got married?"
"Yes, I have been collecting them."
The dowry list had been kept by Mother Zhao in an unknown corner of the palace. Because it was hidden and not valuable, no one noticed it when the palace was ransacked.
Mother Zhao took out a damp booklet and opened it. The booklet was several meters long.
"Where is the dowry list for my wedding?"
"Yes."
Mother Zhao brought over another booklet and compared the two. She found that the dowry she gave when she got married was not even a fraction of that!
After Su Ying asked Mother Zhao to make backup copies of everything, she put away both booklets.
"Bai Shuang, let's go."
"Princess, this is the capital. If you want to make your point, just do it nicely." Before leaving, Mother Zhao said with some concern.
"knew."
Although the Prime Minister's Mansion is not located at the foot of the Imperial City, it is in the best location on the main road of the capital.
When Su Ying arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, there were only two guards guarding outside.
After the two guards came forward to pay their respects, they took Su Ying into the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The Prime Minister's Mansion is still the same as I remembered. Compared with the rough and grand Prince Qi's Mansion, the Prime Minister's Mansion is much more exquisite. Even a pot of flowers placed casually in the garden is enough for an ordinary family to struggle for decades.
Su Ying was brought to Xiao Jiang Yuanji's yard.
"Madam, the Princess of Qi is here." The maid who reported the news walked directly into the house.
"Why are you still standing there? Let the princess come in."
Su Ying vaguely heard Xiao Jiang Yuanji's voice coming from inside the house. Normally, with her status, the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion should have gone out to greet her, but they made her look like she was begging for help, which made her look weaker.
However, Su Ying didn't care about such details and walked straight into the house.
Inside the house, Xiao Jiang Yuanji looked at Su Ying who walked in with a kind face.
Su Yuyan, with a delicate face, was also beside Xiao Jiang Yuanji.
After Su Ying entered the room, she walked straight to the chair and sat down without even looking at the mother and daughter.
The smile on Xiaojiang Genji's face froze, but she quickly returned to her motherly look, "Child, why are you still so casual? Go and bring up all the food prepared for the princess."
"yes."
Soon, the maid returned with piles of greasy snacks and chicken soup.
Su Ying likes to eat it, but she doesn’t like the kind that feels like drinking oil after one mouthful.
"These are the ones that the princess used to like to eat. Come and try them."
Su Ying glanced at it and chuckled, "Put the things there. I came here today for two reasons. First, I came to take the dowry that my mother left behind. Second, I want to hand over the slave who attacked my two children."
Su Yuyan was furious when she heard this, "What nonsense are you talking about, elder sister? Wasn't the dowry you were given when you got married enough? The dowry your biological mother brought was long ago squandered by her. Your dowry was subsidized by your mother from her own pocket."
Su Ying took a sip of tea leisurely. She couldn't tell whether the tea was good or not, but she knew it must be very expensive.
Xiao Jiang Yuanji smiled calmly and said, "To be honest, there is still some left from my sister's dowry. If the princess wants it, I will have someone bring it to you right away."
"OK."
Genji Koe said to the people around him, "Go, open the storehouse and get all the things my sister left behind."
"yes."
Seeing that Xiao Jiang Yuanshi agreed so readily, Su Yuyan became anxious. Those things were to be kept as her dowry, so how could she just give them to her?
In a blink of an eye, Su Yuyan saw Xiao Jiang Yuanji giving her a soothing look, and Su Yuyan finally calmed down.
After a while, the maids came in carrying pieces of very old cloth.
Judging from the condition, these fabrics are indeed good, but they look a bit old.
Xiao Jiang Yuanshi smiled and said, "These were my sister's favorites back then. I have never let anyone touch them, just to keep them in my memory. Since Yingying wants them, take them back."
Although these materials are a bit old, they are still valuable, so Su Ying certainly won't be polite.
However, Genji Koe just wanted to get rid of her with this little thing. Did he really think she was a fool?
Su Ying took out the dowry list from her body and spread it out in front of Xiao Jiang Yuanji.
"You can all read, right? Take a good look at the things above. I'll give you three days to prepare them. Return everything to me. If there's one thing missing..." Su Ying paused, and looked at the beautiful Su Yuyan with a half-smile, "I'll smash her face."
Su Yuyan was frightened and covered her face in horror.
