After all, those people outside aren't worth her worrying about.
Jiang Jingyue got up leisurely, then slowly put on her clothes, completely calm.
Qiu'er, on the contrary, was very anxious. She reached out to help Jiang Jingyue put on her clothes, and she was extremely anxious.
Seeing Jiang Jingyue's indifferent and unmoved expression, she couldn't help but speak up.
"Miss, aren't you worried about life there? Wow, you seem so calm and indifferent."
Jiang Jing didn't care what life was like over there, but she could assure her that it was definitely more colorful than life here.
"I don't know how to explain this to you. The most important thing for us now is to get all of my mother's dowry back. I already called you last night, so you should know what to do next."
Qiu'er nodded. "Miss, don't worry, I already know what to do. We can go out now."
After tidying up quickly, Jiang Jingyue went outside.
People outside came over as soon as they saw her come out, trying to reach out and help her, but she dodged them.
"Xiaoyue, you're out? You came out at just the right time. The carriage is already waiting for you outside."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jingyue remained calm. She looked up at Minister Jiang and Madam Jiang beside her, and then asked.
"Father, Madam Jiang, you haven't prepared my mother's dowry yet. How am I supposed to get into the carriage now?"
Upon hearing this, Madam Jiang and Minister Jiang were stunned for a moment. They exchanged a glance, both somewhat incredulous.
Finally, Madam Jiang stepped forward, looked at Jiang Jingyue, and spoke.
"Xiaoyue, what are you saying? I already had him carry all those things over for you."
How can you say you're not ready yet? There are so many things inside that I bought for you, didn't you see them?
See how good I am to you? You should be grateful.
Jiang Jingyue couldn't help but laugh when she heard this.
"Madam Jiang, when you said those words, didn't you feel uneasy about your conscience?"
I know exactly what my mother's dowry included. You're just going to throw together some random stuff to fool me? Do you think that's acceptable?
Madam Jiang was startled when she heard Jiang Jingyue say this.
"Xiaoyue, what nonsense are you talking about? How could we possibly fool you? Those things are your mother's dowry, there's nothing else. You weren't even born when your mother married into the family, how could you possibly know what she had?"
Hearing her say that, Jiang Jingyue smiled and gestured to the person next to her with her eyes.
Qiu'er instantly understood what she meant.
She cleared her throat and then slowly began, "The dowry list from back then included five shops, six houses, two pairs of golden branches and jade leaves, two pairs of jade-like beauties, two headdresses and wedding gowns, and five chests of gold and silver jewelry..."
Qiu'er rattled off a whole bunch of things at once, startling the two people in front of her so much that their faces turned pale.
Madam Jiang glanced at Minister Jiang, and then she became completely flustered.

She was at a loss for what to do and could only keep looking at Minister Jiang.
At this moment, Minister Jiang was at a loss for what to do. He glanced at Jiang Jingyue in front of him.
I hesitated for a long time before yelling at her.
"Xiaoyue, what do you mean? Don't you believe what your father told you? These things you're talking about don't exist at all."
Seeing that even at this point, Minister Jiang still refused to admit it, Jiang Jingyue laughed.
“Father, I know my mother’s dowry better than anyone else. Ever since I was old enough to understand, you have often shown it to me and even made me memorize it.”
Therefore, I have a very clear picture of all those dowry items in my mind.
Look at these prepared things, is there even a third of what was prepared? This isn't how you fool people, Father. Do you think I'm stupid? So you can just easily deceive me?
Minister Jiang dared not utter such a sentence, so he immediately shook his head.
"Xiaoyue, how could your father think like that? You're definitely overthinking it."
"So what do you want to do now? The King of the Northern Desert's carriage is already waiting outside. Now is not the time for you to be willful. Go with him first, and we'll talk about everything when you return."
Jiang Jingyue isn't stupid. If she doesn't resolve this now, it will be difficult to solve the problem when he comes back.
"Father, I don't care about this matter today, you must give me a proper answer, otherwise who would want to get on that carriage? Who would go on it? I'm not going to get on it no matter what."
Anyway, the person officially in charge isn't me. If those people come in looking for someone later, it won't be me who gets taken away.
Madam Jiang became anxious upon hearing this.
After all, if someone were to come in and take him away, it would definitely be his daughter.
She herself would definitely not want her daughter to marry that Northern Desert King; she wouldn't even know how she died after marrying him.
So she immediately grabbed Jiang Jingyue and said with a smile.
"Xiaoyue! Let's discuss this matter properly. We can prepare everything you need, but it will take some time. You should go there now."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jingyue looked at her with a half-smile.
"Madam Jiang, do you think I'm stupid? What if you don't keep your promise after I go there?"
