Chapter 279
"I have forgotten how much your mother's dowry was. When your mother died, I was busy collecting her casket. When I finished, I couldn't find the dowry list!"
Aunt Li smiled bitterly and said, "Afterwards, the old Marquis asked the housekeeper to make a book and said that your mother's dowry will be left to you brothers and sisters from now on!"
"After that, your father straightened up Mrs. Wang, and your mother's dowry was left to Mrs. Wang to take care of!"
"When you got married, the old Marquis asked Mrs. Wang to give you half of your mother's dowry, and she also shared it!"
"But who knows how much your mother's dowry is? It's not as much as Mrs. Wang says!"
"The old Marquis is a rough man, and all the housekeepers in the house are Wang's housekeepers. Wang usually behaves very fairly, who would suspect that she has done something wrong!"
Ling Yu was speechless. Ling Yu was so careless before and would not doubt Wang even after suffering a loss.
That's why Mr. Wang is so bold and defiant!
Ling Yu thought about how Ling Ping encouraged her to buy those famous swords and was deceived, and her heart moved. Could it be that the Wang family was also involved?
Otherwise, how could Mrs. Wang be so kind and really give herself half of the dowry?
If these scams were all set up by the Wang family, then the dowry just went full circle and returned to the Wang family!
So we still have to find Ling Ping. Only Ling Ping can prove what Wang has done to him!
Ling Yu thought about it, then thought of another question, and asked.
"Mommy, in other families the eldest daughter-in-law is the housekeeper, but why is the Wang family housekeeper in the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion?"
Aunt Li was stunned for a moment and then said: "Miss, you have forgotten that your father is the heir apparent!"
"Your eldest uncle has become a general in the army. Your father used to be ill and unable to practice martial arts!"
"When the old lady was still alive, she forced your grandfather to ask your father to make him the crown prince."
"The old lady said that your uncle can make meritorious deeds by joining the army, and your father's status as heir apparent will prevent him from being looked down upon by others!"
"So, after Wang became the main wife, your grandmother handed over the housekeeping rights to her!"
Only then did Ling Yu understand the complicated relationships in the Zhenyuan Hou Mansion!
She sighed inwardly. If Ling Xiangsheng and his wife inherited the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, I was afraid that it would be ruined within a few years after the old Marquis died!
No wonder Ling Xiangsheng and his wife figured it out and were eager to please her. They wanted to use her power to help Zhenyuan Hou Mansion!
When Ling Yu was sleeping, he thought of another problem that he had neglected.
When she traveled through time, Heizi was beaten by a loan shark and his life was hanging by a thread. She had asked Geng Xiaohao to investigate this matter.
I wonder how Geng Xiaohao’s investigation goes!
If this matter was also done by Wang to frame him, then some clues can be found from this matter.
Ling Yu decided to ask Geng Xiaohao the next day.
The next day, Ling Yu got up early in the morning, fearing that Geng Xiaohao would not be able to find anyone when he went out, and he did not eat breakfast, so he took Lingxuan there.
Geng Xiaohao also got up very early and was preparing his carriage to go out to buy medicinal materials. When he saw Ling Yu coming, he was stunned for a moment.
"Sister, come here so early, are you in a hurry?"
"Where did you get the injury on your face? Were you beaten by Prince Yi?"
Geng Xiaohao became furious when he saw the scars on Ling Yu's face that had not yet faded.
"Do you think I don't exist? No matter what the bastard prince is, if he dares to hit my sister, I won't let him go!"
"Let's go, I'll help you fight back!"
