The Marquis scolded him a few more times before turning and leaving.
He couldn't stay in this house any longer.
He needs to go out with his old friends to drink, have some fun, and listen to some opera to dispel his gloom of the day.
After the Marquis left, Lu Yanfang quickly came out.
She had just secretly glanced at him and was utterly stunned by the Prince of Yu's beauty.
His cold and aloof demeanor, coupled with his handsome face and the aura of authority emanating from him, made him irresistible to Lu Yanfang.
She suddenly jumped out: "Mother! What brings Prince Yu here?"
Chen Yulan had no time to argue with her daughter: "Why are you asking so many questions?"
Lu Yanfang asked shyly, "Mother! Prince Yu hasn't married yet, has he?"
Chen Yulan looked at her daughter; her daughter really dared to think!
Jiang Chuwei also looked over; it was indeed quite a bold idea.
I have no idea how pathetic I look right now.
Fortunately, he still had some sense of shame and didn't show his face.
Jiang Chuwei had no interest in listening to the mother and daughter's murmur: "Mother! Let's go to Jinfutang!"
Chen Yulan glared at him fiercely and walked towards Jinfutang first.
The servants of Jinfutang were already waiting, as counting the dowry was not something that could be done in a short time.
Jiang Chuwei did not do it herself.
After Granny Qiu and Chunqin finished counting and storing Yu Yuan's goods, they came to Jin Fu Tang to do the counting.
It took nearly two hours to empty Jinfutang.
Even Jiang Chuwei found it hard to believe that her mother-in-law was so dishonest.
He treated her private treasury as his own.
Chen Yulan lost all face and did not come out to stop it.
Lu Yanfang dared not utter any more harsh words.
And so a bizarre scene unfolded.
The servants of Jinfutang methodically carried out the gold and silver jewelry one by one, while the servants of Yafangyuan packed each item into boxes.
The harmony is unreal.
Finally, there are still a few things that don't match.
Granny Li said cautiously, "Young Madam, it's just that the servants are usually clumsy and broke a few vases, teacups, and a few jade hairpins. You see..."
Jiang Chuwei raised an eyebrow: "I understand."
Granny Li breathed a sigh of relief. When the madam was angry, it was common for her to smash a few vases and teacups. As for jade hairpins and bracelets, several were also broken.
Fortunately, the young mistress did not continue to pester her.
Jiang Chuwei said, "Granny Li, I remember that Granny Li's indenture in the kitchen is in Mother's hands?"
Granny Li was taken aback, and quickly went to report to the madam.
Chen Yulan was surprised, thinking she would make a scene: "Give it to her!"
Jiang Chuwei took the indenture and returned to Yafang Courtyard with boxes of various sizes.
Lu Yanfang couldn't understand why a servant's contract would make her leave Jinfutang so quickly.
Chen Yulan waved her hand: "You go back first!"
"Mother! Are you just going to let her go like this?" Lu Yanfang was unwilling to give up.
Over the years, all the valuable items she had painstakingly obtained from Jiang Chuwei were taken back by her.
Even the things in my mother's room are gone.
Chen Yulan was already annoyed, so she didn't give her daughter a kind look: "Why don't you go back now?"
Lu Yanfang returned to Yuyuan with a wronged expression. Looking at the empty house, she burst into tears.
Chen Yulan, however, did not experience the grief of losing her daughter.
Jiang's dowry can't be taken with her, so when she dies, it will all belong to the Marquis's mansion.
She was reflecting on whether she had been too kind-hearted.
Jiang Chuwei should have died long ago.
...
"Miss! I didn't expect Madam to let us carry it back so readily." Xia Qi was completely puzzled.
Given the wife's strong personality, she would definitely resort to crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide.
"She's up to no good!" Jiang Chuwei said calmly.
Having lived two lives, how could she not know what kind of person Chen was?
Chen was determined to kill her!
In the past, if Chen wanted her dowry, she might have urged her son to divorce her.
In Daqing, it was stipulated that if a wife was divorced, the husband's family could withhold her dowry.
If it's a divorce, the dowry will be taken by the woman.
Jiang Chuwei showed no respect to the Chen family today, so the Chen family will naturally try every means to make Jiang Chuwei die of illness.
Chunqin put all the items into the warehouse and registered them again.
"Miss! We haven't retrieved the items from Jianjia Courtyard yet, and what about the Old Madam..."
"The old lady will deliver it to your door. As for Jianjia Courtyard, you should go and tell her to deliver it herself. Otherwise, when I come to your door, she will be in big trouble."
"Yes!" Chunqin immediately went to Jianjia Courtyard.
“Our young lady said that Miss Biao herself returned all the items she took from her, including the gifts she gave her, to Avon House.”
"What? She's going to return what she gave me? Isn't that going too far?" Qiao Xuerou was already feeling uneasy.
She heard that Jiang Chuwei had taken back all of her dowry, including the ten-thousand-tael screen in the lady's room.
She knew that she wouldn't be able to keep what she had either.
However, she did not expect Jiang Chuwei to be so ruthless.
Even the gifts given to her are no longer valid.
Qiao Xuerou heard that Prince Yu has come today and really wants to go see him.
After all, Prince Yu was famously handsome.
How could she miss this opportunity?
However, the old lady wouldn't let her leave even for a moment.
These days, I'm being tormented to death by the old lady.
Now that old woman treats her like a servant.
She not only served her medicine, but also had to personally handle her excrement and urine.
This was worse than death for her.
I just managed to steal a half-day of peace, and now the debt collectors are at my door again.
Although she was very unwilling, Qiao Xuerou knew that even the madam had been forced to return it, so how could she dare to go against Jiang Chuwei?
