Chapter 823 Mother and Son, Who Listens to Whom?

The madam rushed to the study angrily and saw that although there were many people standing at the door of the study, they were quiet and polite.

Seeing the Madam coming over, all the maids and mothers-in-law bowed respectfully, and they could not see the situation in which the mothers-in-law came to report before.

Mrs. Tai looked at the people in the eldest princess's mansion suspiciously, and led Shao Wanru into the study.

Hearing the sound at the door, the two people in the study turned around. The person sitting in the main seat was Shao Jing, and the person sitting in the guest seat was the eldest princess. Both of them had serious faces, and they didn't look good, especially Shao Jing. Not only was his face sullen, but he was also frowning tightly. The atmosphere in the entire study was very depressing.

Seeing Mrs. Tai come in, Shao Jing gave up his seat and sat down in front of the chair next to him. After Mrs. Tai took her seat, she looked at her son and then at the eldest princess.

"What matters does the eldest princess want to discuss with my son today?" The madam was a shrewd person and asked, suppressing the anger in her heart.

"Zhuozhuo, come and sit next to grandma!" The eldest princess waved to Shao Wanru, who was walking at the end.

Shao Wanru walked over obediently and sat down beside the eldest princess. The lady was so angry that she wanted to get angry, but after thinking about it, she suppressed her anger.

She didn't know what the eldest princess wanted to do with her son at this time. This had never happened before. In the past, when she and the eldest princess were at odds with each other, they had never involved her son. The current situation was unclear, and the wife was also involved. Don't dare to get angry immediately.

He suppressed his temper, picked up the new teacup given by the boy, skimmed off the foam on it and touched his mouth a little, then put it down and waited for the eldest princess to speak.

After she put down the tea cup, the eldest princess said slowly: "What do you think, Lord Duke?"

"Eldest Princess, this kind of thing is a matter of the inner court, right? My mother was originally in charge of it, and she also expressed her position to the eldest princess before. Now the eldest princess is still talking about this matter, is it too much? Gone!" Shao Jing said coldly, the smile of the past was long gone.

"Is it too much? I heard that Zhuo Zhuo made such a trip today and almost had an accident. The second young lady in the house was hit so hard that she still can't get up. If Zhuo Zhuo hadn't reacted faster, she might have been hit at this time too. Can't you get up? Duke Xing Guo, are you here to ask for a dowry, or are you here to vent your anger on being beaten? If you don't like Zhuo Zhuo, I can let her be married in my princess' mansion! "

Princess Ruian said coldly, and the tea cup in her hand fell heavily on the table, making a crisp sound.

The madam's expression tightened. How did the eldest princess know what had just happened? She looked at Shao Wanru suspiciously and saw that she was just sitting there with her head lowered. For a moment, she felt that it didn't look like a letter from Shao Wanru. Could it be that the eldest princess knew that they were going to Yuhui Nunnery today and sent someone to Yuhui Temple. A nunnery?

When Shao Jie'er came out after being beaten, was she seen by the Princess's people?

Thinking about it this way, it seemed to make sense, and he couldn't help but secretly curse Shao Jie'er for being a good-for-nothing. He got into such a mess after being hit, and now it's still a storm in the city.

"Princess Princess, Wanru will definitely get back her dowry, don't worry!" Shao Jing said solemnly, ignoring Princess Princess' suggestion that Shao Wanru go to Princess Princess Mansion to be married, and he would not do it anyway. Shao Wanru will be asked to go to Princess Dachang's mansion to get married.

"Don't worry? I'm really worried. I can't rest assured. How disgusted is this lady in your house with Zhuo Zhuo that she would cause such a thing when asking for dowry? The dowry originally belonged to my son. Since Zhuo Zhuo went to say If I'm going to be hit by someone when I'm here, I'll go over and see how arrogant this lady in your house is. She actually dares to hit people at such a time!"

The eldest princess refused to give in, "This kind of thing is unheard of and unheard of. The emperor must report it, saying that the second wife of Duke Xingguo not only took the dowry of Princess Dafang, but also fought to the death to stop it. , I want to leave these dowries to my second wife, and to Duke Xingguo. Duke Xingguo really married a good wife who protects her husband, but unfortunately she is too cruel!"

The madam understood, her face changed drastically, and her expression became nervous. The eldest princess meant to shake off this matter that could be dealt with in the backyard to the front court.

"Princess, this is a matter in the backyard. You can just come to me, so why bother my son!" Mrs. Tai interrupted.

"My wife is wrong. This matter is no longer a matter in the backyard. Many of the items in my son's dowry were made by the palace. This lady in your house has never returned them. I have reason to suspect that she has ulterior motives. For such a thing , The Emperor cares most, how can he not retaliate!"

The eldest princess turned her eyes and landed on the madam. She sneered and had no intention of giving in.

The Dowager's face turned green with anger. She understood the meaning of these words. It actually hinted that Duke Xingguo had a disobedient heart. How could Duke Xingguo resist such a big hat?

Even though she was extremely angry, Madam Tai also knew that this was not the time to get angry. She swallowed hard and even put on a stiff smile on her face, trying to lighten the atmosphere: "Eldest Princess, this matter of the dowry , our house will give you an explanation, and you will definitely be satisfied."

At this time, she had to give in. Seeing the momentum of the eldest princess, she really planned to bring this matter to the emperor.

"Madam, it is no longer a question of dowry. I have reason to suspect that the second lady in your house has always been malicious towards my son. Since she wants to occupy my son's dowry, it is very likely that when my son returns, After the palace, they tampered with each other. My son died after giving birth to Hao'er. It's impossible to say that... her hands and feet were included..."

When the eldest princess said this, she felt sad and her eyes turned red. She did have this reason to be so suspicious.

They had never doubted it before, because they had never thought about it. Everyone felt that the presence of Princess Qinghua would not be an eyesore since the crown prince of Xingguo was gone. But now they think about it, if it was for these dowries, their daughter would really It was an eyesore to the second wife at that time.

Originally, the entire mansion was controlled by the second wife. When her daughter came back, it was like this. Even if the eldest princess sent someone to serve her, her hands were still much shorter than the second wife's. If you want to do something secretly, it's very simple.

"I will report to the Holy One and ask the Holy One to re-investigate this matter. The second lady in your house has such a violent temper and has to leave the court. If it is found that my son's death is really related to her, she will have to pay with her life. "You, Xingguo Duke, can't help but feel guilty!" the eldest princess said bitterly.

Shao Wanru lowered his head, his eye sockets turned slightly red, and his lips pursed into a tight line. She originally sent a message to the eldest princess to say this, and also forced the Xingguo Duke's mansion. Now when she heard the eldest princess say this, her heart suddenly moved. , inexplicably giving rise to a bit of sadness and doubt, could this really be the reason?

He clenched the handkerchief tightly, then slowly let go, his eyes filled with ice...

"Eldest Princess, don't worry. Princess Qinghua's dowry will not be lacking. You can quote the price for the unmatched part. Even if our family spends everything, it will definitely compensate for this. Originally, the eldest brother is no longer here. , just like the eldest brother’s only daughter, so it should be. I don’t know what happened before, and if I knew, I would never allow such a thing to happen!”

Shao Jing stood up, bowed respectfully to the eldest princess, and said frankly that his words were very direct, without any evasion, and he took everything into account, very responsible.

The wife was anxious to stop her. If this was really filled in, half of the property of Duke Xingguo would be lost.

Shao Jing winked at Mrs. Tai, telling her not to stop her yet. Mrs. Tai had no choice but to frown and lower her head.

Shao Wanru calmly saw the scene before him, and his eyes became colder and colder. Although the wife was strong, she still listened to her second uncle's words. The meaning behind this is definitely something that people can delve into.

In the past, my second uncle was careless, as if he didn't know everything. He seemed to have a good temperament, and he obeyed the wife's instructions. Even if he was deceived, it was understandable. But now it seems that this The second uncle is not someone who is easily fooled, and he is also very strong-willed. The so-called obedience to the wife's words is only superficial.

The eldest princess looked at Shao Jing coldly, not intending to let go just like that: "Mr.

"Princess, please don't worry. You will go directly to investigate. If it is found that it is really related to the Jiang family, our family will definitely not cheat!" Shao Jing said solemnly.

What he said can be regarded as the most benevolent thing. If the eldest princess continues to hold on to this matter, it will appear to be too harsh. After all, Jiang's current situation is not very good. She has been sent out long ago. Shao Jing has not defended her. Jiang’s reason!

After hearing what he said, the eldest princess's face was still gloomy, but she did not pursue it any further: "The Empress Dowager wants Zhuo Zhuo and Prince Chen to get married earlier than the other princes. Qin Tianjian has already set a date. It's coming down and will be delivered to your residence soon. Time is very tight. The dowry in your house needs to be returned as soon as possible. Zhuozhuo can't go out recently. It's the Queen Mother's wish to embroider more dowry. It's best for Zhuozhuo to do it himself. Do more for His Highness King Chen."

When he heard the mention of the Queen Mother, Shao Jing became more and more respectful: "This is right. We also have an embroiderer in our house. We can also choose brocade from outside and have it embroidered. Just like embroidering it yourself, you can't let her do it." His Royal Highness, King Chen, takes charge."

"That's the best. I also have some things to send over, and they will be included in Zhuo Zhuo's dowry when the time comes!" The eldest princess stood up. The purpose of coming here today has been achieved. At this time, she didn't want to see too much. The lady's gloomy face.

"I'll send the eldest princess off!" Shao Jing said.

"Mr.

"Wanru, you give it to your grandmother!" Shao Jing looked at Shao Wanru kindly and said, Shao Wanru nodded meekly, saluted to Shao Jing, and then was pulled out by the eldest princess...
