Chapter 58 Asking for Dowry



The next day, Lu Yanluo returned to the prime minister's residence with her maid in a rage.

In the flower hall, Lin’s mother and daughter looked at Lu Yanluo who came uninvited.

Lu Yuluo sneered and said contemptuously: "Sister, how come you have time to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion today?"

Lin snorted coldly, "I'm afraid he was disliked by His Royal Highness the Night King and was kicked out."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuruo covered her lips and chuckled, her laughter showing both gloating and sarcasm.

Lu Yanluo turned a deaf ear to it and took out an account book with an expressionless face.

"I came here today to ask you two for something. I won't say much, let's get straight to the point. This account book in my hand is the list of my mother's dowry when she married into the Xiangfu. All the dowry is recorded in the book one by one. Please take out my mother's dowry."

"What? You come to ask for a dowry?" Lin laughed sarcastically.

"You are a married daughter, but you actually come back to your parents' home to ask for your mother's dowry. You really bring shame to the Xiangfu!"

Lu Yanluo sneered.

"Why should I be ashamed to ask for my mother's dowry? This is what my mother left for me. It is only natural for me to take it back. If you are dissatisfied, we will report it to the authorities."

Lin choked, "You!"

Seeing that Lin couldn't win the argument, Lu Yuruo on the side became furious and wanted to attack Lu Yanluo in anger.

"What? What's wrong with a daughter taking back her biological mother's dowry?"

The person who spoke was Chu Xuan who came with Lu Yanluo.

Chu Xuan walked slowly to Lu Yanluo's side and looked at the Lin mother and daughter, with a sense of majesty without even being angry.

"Madam Lu, I will give the princess whatever she wants. So are you going to give her the dowry today or not? If you are unwilling, I have a friend in the Dali Temple. Why don't you go with me and talk to her there?"

As soon as Lin saw Chu Xuan, she knew that she was doomed to fail today, and she forced herself to smile, "Here, here..."

Lin was heartbroken and angry at the loss of her dowry, and she started to complain at night.

"Master, Lu Yanluo is already the Princess of Ye, but she still cares about these little things at home and wants to take away so much dowry. What will Yuluo do in the future?"

Lin wiped away the non-existent tears and cried till she was hoarse.

After hearing this, Prime Minister Lu was furious: "Don't worry, Madam. I will definitely help you deal with that ignorant girl. Our Yu Luo will definitely marry someone better than her. Don't worry, Madam."

As the New Year was approaching, the prime minister’s residence was preparing to hold a family dinner.

Prime Minister Lu wanted to teach Lu Yanluo a lesson, so he decided to poison her at the family dinner as a small punishment and a stern warning.

Before the family dinner, Lin called Lu Yuluo aside.

"Although this poison is not fatal, it will damage her body. It won't be a problem for her to stay in bed for two or three years. Yu Luo, find an opportunity to put this poison in the wine of that dead girl. When she is weak from the poison, I will find someone to beat her up. Let's see how she can act arrogantly in the future."

Lu Yuruo looked at the medicine bag in her hand and came up with a plan.

"Just stay in bed for two or three years? How can that be possible..."

In the yard, Lu Yanluo sat there doing nothing.

"A Luo, be careful!"

Lu Yanluo heard Chu Xuan’s shout, and then she heard a sound of breaking air behind her, and then she was pulled into someone’s arms.

"What's going on?" Lu Yanluo turned her head and saw a strange man standing behind the chair where she had just sat, holding a sharp knife.

It is conceivable that if Chu Xuan had not pulled himself away in time, I am afraid...

"Who are you? How dare you kill Princess Ye? You are asking for your life!"

Chu Xuan's eyes were filled with a storm that could kill people in an instant.

The assassin's defeated face let out a sinister laugh, "I, Ah Zhi, have been loyal to Master Ye Sheng for many years, but I never thought that the Lin family was so vicious! They actually killed my master! Today I will avenge him! I will follow Master to death."

After saying that, he swung the knife towards Lu Yanluo again!

"etc!"

Lu Yanluo stopped Ah Zhi loudly: "You can't kill me. If you kill me, you will repay kindness with hatred! I know Ye Sheng. Ye Wang and I are the ones who investigated the case and redressed the injustice for Ye Sheng. We found out the mastermind behind the scenes, Lin Qisheng. Without us, I'm afraid Ye Sheng would still be dead without knowing why!"

Ah Zhi was half-believing and half-doubting when he heard this, and turned to look at Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan said calmly, "Yes, I am the one handling the Ye Sheng case. Besides, the princess has nothing to do with the Lin family. Why are you looking for revenge on her?"

After understanding the truth, Ah Zhi's expression relaxed, and then he fainted.

"Eh? Why did he faint so suddenly?" Lu Yanluo stepped forward to feel his pulse and said seriously, "This person is seriously injured. He must be treated immediately, otherwise his life will be in danger."

The two looked at each other and hurriedly carried Ah Zhi to the back room for treatment.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yuluo came over and said, "Sister, the family dinner has started. It's time to go to the dinner."

Hearing this, Lu Yanluo hurriedly said, "No hurry, I accidentally stained my clothes just now, let me change, you go first."

Outside the door, Lu Yuluo curled her lips and looked at the door in front of her.

Could it be that Lu Yanluo is having an affair in there?

How could such a good thing happen to me?

Lu Yuluo suddenly felt refreshed and sneered, "Don't worry, sister. I'll help you right away."

As he said that, he was about to push the door open and rush in!
