Ignoring Shen Wanqi's lost look, Princess Ancheng glanced at the two of them coldly, and then said to the guard who was moving the things:
"Move these, these, and these all back to the palace's courtyard. After moving back, take the original documents to me to check them one by one, and list everything that is missing!
"There are also food taxes, land, shops, and bank accounts, all of which have been settled by me!"
Mrs. Shen was leaning on crutches and almost fainted: "Stop, stop! You can't move it, and you can't separate it!
"Ancheng, do you think there is any daughter-in-law like you in the capital! If you don't help your parents-in-law and husband share their worries, you are still doing things like counting the dowry and sorting out the income at the critical moment of the Marquis's residence!"
Mrs. Shen: "Look at the Wang family in the south of the city and the Li family in the north of the city. When they marry a daughter-in-law, don't they always take the initiative to use the dowry to supplement the family income, and take the initiative to hand over the shop and property to the husband's parents-in-law! As a princess, how can you even Those daughters-in-law from small families are not as good as others!"
Princess Ancheng: "I remember that Mrs. Shen came from the countryside and doesn't understand the rules of this big family and this royal family, so I won't blame her."
“In the eyes of the royal family and nobles, those who use women’s dowry are the most looked down upon and the most despised.
"It's okay for a woman to take the initiative to put the dowry into the treasury, but if she is forced to take out the dowry as her in-laws' husband, or to use it secretly without the woman's consent... it is a shameful act."
Princess Ancheng curled her lips: "If you don't care about it, it's a family matter. If you do care about it... then you have to go to the government."
Mrs. Shen's face turned pale. Just as Princess Ancheng said, Mrs. Shen came from the countryside, and her concept of dowry has always been her own interpretation of the country.
Once a woman is married, everything she owns belongs to her husband’s family, including her husband’s family even after she dies!
Then her dowry is naturally used by her husband's family.
She saw the daughter-in-law of the Wang family and the Li family taking out the dowry, but it was done voluntarily, instead of being arrogant and noisy like Mrs. Shen, forcing Princess Ancheng not to take the dowry away.
Old Mrs. Shen was told by Princess Ancheng that she came from the countryside in front of so many people. She felt a little embarrassed and gritted her teeth and said:
"Of course I know this truth. I just envy other people's filial wives. I say a few sour words, but I don't want Ancheng to give in."
Princess Ancheng smiled when she heard this: "Okay, the old lady said that I am not filial, so of course I must be more truthful.
"Come here, move it to me quickly! After moving back, we will start counting the documents and finally give them to the old lady together with the income from the food tax, shop, and land for the past five years."
Mrs. Shen: "What did you give it to me for!?"
Princess Ancheng was surprised when she heard this: "Of course I have to pay back the money. If my dowry is missing, it will all be in the Marquis Mansion. The old lady must replenish me every penny."
"Not to mention the property tax shop. It is owned by me. It was the original dowry. In recent years, the Marquis Mansion has taken care of it for me. Now I need to check and accept it. If the old lady feels it is unfair If so, Ancheng can pay some maintenance fees."
Mrs. Shen almost couldn't lift it up in one breath. She pointed at Princess Ancheng and said "you" and "you" several times, but no result came out.
Princess Ancheng was particularly considerate and said: "Ancheng knows that my grandmother is most afraid of losing the Shen family's face, so of course I have to follow my grandmother's will.
"If the dowry owed to Ancheng is not paid, then the Shen family will be humiliated among all the aristocratic families in the capital, and their face will be trampled under their feet."
She smiled slightly: "So Ancheng sent this document to you for you to return one by one. This is for your sake and for the sake of the face of our Marquis Mansion.
"You don't want to hear other people talking about our house, you and the Marquis behind our back as soon as you go out, right?"
Mrs. Shen's lips trembled, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't. Finally, she pointed at Shen Wanqi: "Tell me!"
Shen Wanqi had been looking distracted since just now, and when he heard this, he suddenly reacted: "What?"
Mrs. Shen gritted her teeth in anger and hit him with a cane: "How long has this been, and you are still in a daze! What are you thinking about?"
When the boy beside Shen Wanqi saw this, he hurried forward and whispered a few words. Shen Wanqi's wandering expression suddenly disappeared, his face turned blue and red, and the emotion that had just arisen suddenly disappeared.
She really did such a great job! ?
Not to mention how much dowry they have stolen in the past five years, the income from food taxes, real estate and shops spent by the Hou Mansion in the past five years cannot be repaid in a short time! Chu Yanxi is going to kill them!
This bitch!
If she hadn't insisted on marrying him, how could she have done such a crazy thing!
What to do now!
If he doesn't pay it back, it won't be a joke. The emperor and several other princes will know about it and they will have to skin him!
I thought that Chu Yanxi was deeply in love with me, and stupidly thought that she was also deeply in love with him, so she could tolerate anything. Even if she found out that they used dowry, she would not say anything, and would even take the initiative to bring more. They use.
Who knew that she would suddenly become sober after giving birth to a child!
It’s no longer as easy to fool as it was in the past five years!
Even the incense that Rou'er prepared for him no longer works on her!
Didn't she give birth to a child? She must have changed her mind!
Shen Wanqi gritted his teeth anxiously, but there was no other way until now. Fortunately, she had not discovered the things in Yaolinfang and Liuxing Lane. If she had discovered those two places, then a real disaster would be imminent. Woolen cloth… …
Rou'er and his plan have just begun. Nothing can happen at this time. If he falls, Rou'er will definitely find someone else to continue planning. What will he do? ?
Shen Wanqi tried his best to suppress the anger and panic in his heart, and said slowly: "Yan Xi, do you really want to be so awesome... How can you and I, who have been married for five years, fly away when a disaster strikes?"
Princess Ancheng looked at him coldly: "I wonder if Lord Marquis has done something so damning that he has already reached the point of imminent disaster?
She looked at Mrs. Shen: "Does grandma know? Could it be that this was the reason why the head was beheaded last time? Is it just that the Marquis didn't dare to say it?"
Her question made Mrs. Shen's already worried heart rise again. Regardless of anything else, she also looked at Shen Wanqi: "Wanqi, have you really done something serious?"
Shen Wanqi almost spurted a mouthful of blood on Chu Yanxi's face. When did she become so sharp-tongued!
