“You’re crazy!” Shen Jing raised his hand to hit Shen Shuyi, but Shen Feng quickly pulled him back.
"Father, Shuyi was just speaking in anger."
He stopped Shen Jing, and said to Shen Shuyi: “Shuyi, you should admit your mistake to your father.”
“Chen Feng, this is my family affair. What does it have to do with an outsider like you?”
"Besides, I'm not saying this in anger. If you don't welcome me back, why should I stay here?"
"The reason why I am still willing to talk nonsense with you here is mainly because I want to get back the dowry my mother left for me."
Back then, when the grandmother's people came to take the original owner back to Jiangnan, they asked for the dowry back, but Shen Jing delayed it on the grounds that the original owner had reached the age of marriage, saying that it would be returned after the original owner reached the age of marriage.
Shen Jing frowned. The General's Mansion had not been well managed in recent years, and its income was not enough to cover its expenses. All these years, it had relied on the dowry that Hongying brought back then. Part of this would have to be paid when Qingyi married the Fourth Prince as the Princess...
"You've really gone wild after being away for a few years. As long as I'm still here, no one can think of dividing the family!"
"Then let's wait and see." Chen Shuyi took Lu Wu out.
"Someone, come and stop her for me!" It would be fine if they made a scene at home, but it would be embarrassing if they made a scene outside and were seen by others.
As Shen Shuyi walked, he said to the system: “66, help me exchange a small item to stop those guards.”
Shen Jing wanted to save face, so she had to strike while the iron was hot and get all the dowry back.
As soon as the gate of the general's mansion opened, Shen Shuyi stepped out, and several guards stopped her.
Shen Shuyi turned back and looked at the plaque of the general's mansion, and raised his voice slightly: "My father cruelly abandoned me for ten years. When I came back ten years ago, the house was occupied by others, and the dowry left by my mother was also withheld. Since the general's mansion does not welcome me, then I will go back to Jiangnan."
At this moment, people passing by couldn't help but stop to watch the fun, mainly because the girl in front of them was too outstanding.
"I heard that General Shen's legitimate daughter returned to Chang'an today. Is she that? Why was she stopped by the guards? What's going on?"
"I heard that the eldest daughter was treated harshly by her stepmother. General Shen is really cruel. He kicked her out of the house at such a young age. It's true that people forget about her after she leaves..."
"General Shen is a good man who protects his family and country, but it's a pity that he doesn't have a virtuous wife, so he has to make such a fuss. Let's just say that a concubine from a small family is not worthy of being the mistress. Look at how petty this matter is..."
When Shen Jing came out, he saw more and more people watching. He quickly said, "Shuyi, you are still young. How can I feel at ease if you move out and live alone?"
"Don't be so willful. What girl would be so self-indulgent as to show off her wealth in public? As for your dowry, your father will keep it safe for you. He will definitely give you the dowry when you get married in style."
If so much money was really given to this little girl, how could he live in Chang'an? The salary in the court was not enough to treat colleagues to a few meals!
Gold, antique paintings and calligraphy, jewellery, etc. are all in the warehouse, how can they be taken out!
Moreover, he absolutely could not let Shuyi move out and cut off her relationship with the General's Mansion. Now that the Crown Prince had been deposed, in addition to the Fourth Prince, the Third Prince and the Seventh Prince also had the opportunity to become the Crown Prince. If Qingyi married the Fourth Prince, it would be best if Shuyi could enter the Third Prince's or the Seventh Prince's palace...
After Shen Jing finished speaking, the people watching the excitement around him felt less sympathetic towards Shen Shuyi, and even felt that she was being too ridiculous.
She is not satisfied with having a father who is a general and is making a fuss about moving out. How can a little girl like her be so willful?
After a while, some people started to blame her.
Shen Shuyi was very calm. She looked at Shen Jing calmly, "Ten years ago, my father cruelly kicked me out of the general's mansion. Now that I'm back, I've given up. I just want my father to fulfill his promise and return all the things my mother left me."
"You already have children to take care of you, and you haven't even looked at me in all these years. I must be the one who is insignificant. I'll take my things and leave."
"When you were still a little beggar, it was your mother's family who sponsored you and brought you back home..."
As she spoke, she took out a dowry list and Lu Wu presented it.
Shen Jing's face darkened when he saw it, "That's enough!"
He hurriedly interrupted his daughter's words. He didn't want to think about the filthiness of those years at all!
The onlookers also understood a lot of things. It turned out that General Shen had been holding on to the dowry and refused to let go, and he had not treated his daughter well. Now that his daughter was leaving, what else did he have to leave?
It turned out that his daughter was someone he could summon and dismiss at will... There was a bit more contempt in everyone's eyes. This confused warrior was also an ungrateful warrior.
They had heard something about the death of the general's wife. Madam Zhou was originally the daughter of a wealthy businessman in Jiangnan. She was kind-hearted and picked up a beggar from the street and took him home as a playmate. The beggar was the current General Shen. They grew up together and fell in love with each other. After they got married, Shen Jing joined the army, built up his military exploits step by step, and moved to Chang'an.
The good times didn't last long. One year, Shen Jing returned from the war with a beautiful woman by his side. He took her as his concubine despite his wife's objection. She is now Lin...
Shen Jing looked embarrassed. Seeing that the situation could not be resolved, he had to appease Shen Shuyi first, "Your mother has another villa in Chang'an City. If you don't like living here, move there first. When you have figured it out, return to the general's mansion."
Shen Shuyi hasn't expressed his opinion yet, so System 66 speaks first.
[Host, that farm is great, the scenery is beautiful, and most importantly, it is very close to Prince Su's Palace!]
Shen Shuyi nodded, "Since it is my mother's farm, I will move in, but please ask my father to send the things on the dowry list as soon as possible."
"Is three days okay?"
It's just so aggressive! Shen Jing was furious!
Shen Shuyi suddenly realized and added, "Father, have you been using mother's dowry as household expenses all these years? It doesn't matter if some things are gone, you can convert them into silver to make up for it."
Without waiting for Shen Jing to refuse again, Shen Shuyi turned around and left with Lu Wu. Anyway, even if she was not in the general's mansion, these shameless people would come to her door.
As soon as Shen Shuyi left, the general's mansion enjoyed a brief period of peace.
Shen Qingyi took the initiative to come to Shen Jing, her eyes red, and said, "Father, it's all my fault. I angered my eldest sister. If I hadn't lived in Tingyuxuan, this wouldn't have happened..."
"Qingyi, this has nothing to do with you."
"Father...I just hope my elder sister won't hate you and mother..."
"That evil girl had the nerve to hate me after all the trouble she made?!" Shen Jing's anger, which had finally subsided, was ignited all of a sudden.
If he wasn't afraid that she would continue to make trouble and the matter would be reported to the censors by someone with ulterior motives, he would not let this evil girl step out of the general's mansion!
Lin, who was standing next to him, took Shen Qingyi's hand and patted it gently to comfort her.
"Qingyi, you are just too kind. I have wronged you. Don't worry, your father will definitely compensate you in the future."
"That's right." Shen Jing nodded. Fortunately, he still has a well-behaved daughter.
Shen Qingyi quickly shook her head, "Mom, I'm not wronged, I just want my family to live in harmony and happiness."
She looked up at Shen Feng, who had been silent and a little distracted, "Brother Feng, isn't that right?"
