After Duke Rong left, his son Xiangqian said to Chen Yu, "Mother is such a good mother. Other mothers work so hard for their sons, but mother just wants to leave me here and walk away, not caring about anything else.
If mother wants to divorce, she should consider me, her biological son. She can't accept that legitimate son for nothing. Mother can ask father to let you accept him, but you must ask for the title of Crown Prince for me. After I am crowned as the Crown Prince, you can accept him as your son.
As for the dowry, if the mother insisted on taking it away, the father would definitely divorce her. Then, if she couldn't take a penny with her, it would be embarrassing.
Mother, why don't you put all the remaining dowry into my name? If you don't have any money in your name, you can divorce me naturally without being divorced."
Chen Yu looked at his son and said, "How will mother live after the divorce without a penny? Will you support her?"
The son said, "If mother does not divorce and lives in Rongguo Mansion, it will be her who will support her and take care of her until her death.
But if my mother leaves the Rongguo Mansion, how can I support you? Is it wrong to put the money of the Rongguo Mansion into your outer courtyard without proper authority?
Chen Yu said, "Since you won't provide for my old age, how can you have the nerve to let me leave here penniless? Are you going to let my mother die out here?"
Her son laughed and said, "Mother, what are you talking about? After all, I came from the Yongding Marquis's Mansion. How could those people in the Yongding Marquis's Mansion let me die in poverty? The Yongding Marquis's Mansion is so big, but they can't support a woman like you?"
Chen Yu looked at her son, her heart sank to the bone. She nodded at him and said, "You're right. The people in Yongding Marquis' Mansion are human beings, so do they deserve to bear the evil done by a group of non-humans?
Eat my flesh and blood clean, then throw me out...
You go out, mother is tired and wants to rest."
This was the first time Shen Yu had spoken to her son in this way. The son felt very uncomfortable and pouted, saying, "Mother, there's no need to talk like that. If father and I aren't human, then what am I, mother?"
So he followed his father, Duke Rong's example and left with a flick of his sleeves.
From that day on, Shen Yu began to move her dowry from Rongguo Mansion out bit by bit. She either wore it when she went out, or sent her servants to take the money to Shen Zhaoshu's shop to spend it.
I bought all kinds of things in Shen Zhaoshu's shop, but I didn't have to take the things back. She said I could just ask the shop assistant to deliver them to her house in the outer courtyard.
Fortunately, Duke Rong felt that she had been confused and cowardly all her life, and now she no longer mentioned the divorce, thinking that she had frightened Chen Yu. He continued to live with Dong Rouer as usual and did not notice Chen Yu's actions.
So Shen Yu moved the dowry bit by bit for half a year, and by "spending money" in Shen Zhaoshu's various shops, she finally moved all the remaining dowry into her own independent female household.
Apart from the two sets of fine furniture that came with the dowry, one set was made of Huanghuali wood and the other was made of red sandalwood, each set had seventy or eighty pieces, and the two sets had more than a hundred pieces, made of fine materials, with exquisite lacquer and carving, which could not be transported away,
Shen Yu took inventory again and found that there were still about thirty larger screens and porcelain pieces that could not be transported out quietly.
Shen Zhaoshu said, "Your son is a bit greedy. Why don't you move these furniture and screens to this outer courtyard and keep them for him in the future? If they are kept in that house, sooner or later his father will take them away and give them to Dong Rouer and her son."
Sure enough, after hearing this, the son was determined to help his mother keep these large items.
So, while Duke Rong was away from home, Jiang He turned a blind eye and his son hired a large carriage team to move the things and moved all the things to his mother's yard outside.
Chen Yu was very smart this time, as if the strange doctor's training in the past two years had finally paid off.
She asked Shen Zhaoshu to select a dozen reliable, strong and capable men for her, mixed in with the movers in the carriage team, and followed her to each courtyard after entering the Rongguo Mansion.
He looked at each house and asked people to move out all their belongings.
The servants of the Rongguo Mansion had long been replaced by palace maids. Apart from watching Madam Handan's every move, which was their first priority, serving the masters of the Rongguo Mansion on a daily basis was just a superficial matter.
Therefore, except for one or two personal maids and servants in each room who fought for these things for their masters, the other servants did not take action.
In this way, the dozen or so people brought by Chen Yu entered the house as if they were in an empty house. They easily seized many of her large items, jewelry and other valuables from each room, and took back everything they could see.
The incident happened suddenly, and the various rooms had no time to collect or hide. When Shen Yu asked Shen Zhaoshu to borrow people, he was still worried that if a fight really broke out, after all, they were more numerous on the territory of Rongguo Mansion, and he might not be able to gain an advantage with these dozen people.
Shen Zhaoshu said, "Don't worry, there won't be many people from Rongguo Mansion coming up to fight."
Now it seems to be true. Chen Yu is confused and thinks: Has the Rongguo Mansion long lost the support of the people or has the legitimate sister already said hello to Jiang He?
Chen Yu's personal maid, Lihua, also carried a large basket filled with valuables from various rooms. She came from her mother's home and recognized many of the things. This girl had never been so proud and happy before.
Then Chen Yu left with this move and never returned, wanting to live in his own house.
Before leaving, Lihua remembered that the mermaid night gauze curtains in the third girl's room belonged to the Yongding Marquis Mansion. Her own girl Chen Yu had only used them for two days before they saw it and snatched it away.
So the girl led her men back and stripped off the mermaid tent.
Just as he was about to leave, the girl from the third room rushed out with her servants and yelled, "How did you, an old woman who was sold to a brothel by your master, get out? Is it because you are too old that even the lowest places have no business for you?"
Lihua ignored them and just looked the third girl up and down and said, "The material of this dress looks familiar to me. Was it sent from Jiangnan by the former subordinates of my old Marquis of Yongding Mansion?
My old marquis gave this batch of things from Jiangnan to my daughter and passed away half a year later. It was the last time he gave these things to our daughter, but you snatched them away just a few days after my daughter got them.
Miss, are you going to take it off yourself or should I ask them for help?"
The third young lady's personal maid came over and scolded her, "You old bastard who just got out of the brothel! How dare you, a servant of the Rongguo Mansion, lay hands on your master!"
The third girl shouted, "Come here, drag her away and beat her to death!"
