Princess Sets Poison Again Chapter 43: Dowry turns into stone
Chapter 43 Dowry Turned into Stone
Baifu, Junting Garden.
"Ma'am, miss." Su Xiu hurried back to the room.
Bai Ruoyu stood up quickly, "How about the news I asked you to inquire about? Tell me quickly."
"Those rumors have been suppressed. I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince personally gave the order." Su Xiu didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately reported the information she found out.
Bai Ruoyu was dumbfounded when she heard it, and after a long while, she said, "This is impossible, I don't believe it."
Shouldn't the prince follow the trend and write a letter of divorce to Bai Li'er? Why would he send someone to suppress the rumors? This is simply not possible.
Seeing that Bai Ruoyu didn't believe it, Su Xiu became a little anxious, "It's true, just now, Li Feng, who is beside His Royal Highness, went to the Wutong Garden to give the young lady a gift."
When Bai Ruoyu heard the words, she immediately became excited, "You said the crown prince gave Bai Lier a gift?"
Startled by Bai Ruoyu's excited look, Su Xiu nodded in a daze, "Yes, it is said that two big boxes were carried, and the eldest lady took them all."
"What?" Mrs. Zhao immediately screamed, "Why did the prince give a gift to that idiot Bai Lier? That gift must be for you. I'll go get it back."
As Zhao said, he hurriedly rushed outside.
"Okay, don't embarrass yourself anymore." Bai Ruoyu yelled violently, and Zhao Shi didn't dare to move for a moment.
Bai Ruoyu tightly clenched her fists, her eyes were full of mischief. The crown prince has changed his mind towards Bai Li'er, if she doesn't do anything else, she will really sit still and wait to die.
East Mansion, Songhe Garden, the old lady also heard the news.
"You said that the prince suppressed the rumors."
Nurse Liao nodded, "Yes, His Highness the Crown Prince sent two boxes of gifts to Missy this morning."
Nurse Liao's face was pale and sick. Ever since she saw Shu Xiu being beaten to death with her own eyes that day, she dreamed that Shu Xiu came to her every night, and she would be woken up in the middle of the night by fright, and she became ill for several days in an instant.
The old lady frowned, and a deep glint flashed in her eyes.
The news of the crown prince giving the white raccoon a gift soon spread throughout the eastern and western prefectures. If it was said that Xifu had some dissenting ideas before, he would not dare to do so now.
The appearance of Murong Xun made everyone realize that Bai Li'er is not only the only master of the Zhongyonghou Mansion, but also the prince's fiancée and the future mother of a country.
This kind of awareness allows people who were still hesitating before to choose their positions in an instant, such as Steward Cao.
At noon, as soon as the white raccoon finished his lunch, Steward Cao came.
"Greetings to Miss."
The white raccoon glanced at Butler Cao meaningfully, raised his hand slightly, "Excuse me."
Butler Cao straightened up and brought up a tray, "Miss, here are the keys to all the warehouses in the mansion, please check them."
Glancing at the large bunch of keys on the tray, the corners of the white raccoon's lips curled slightly. It seems that Murong Xun is not useless, at least he can shock the first-class people like Steward Cao.
The white raccoon glanced at Qiwen, who immediately understood, stepped forward to take the tray, and placed it on the small table in front of the white raccoon.
"I'll check everything in the warehouse one by one, if there's anything that doesn't match..." The white raccoon spoke slowly, but there was a threat in his voice.
Cao Steward bowed immediately, "Miss, don't worry, this old slave has met before, and the old slave guarantees with his head that there will never be any mistakes."
When Steward Cao said this, his heart was bleeding. In order to fill up the holes in various warehouses, he not only vomited out all the food he had eaten in these years, but also built a lot of them himself.
The white raccoon hooked its lips evilly, "Very well, Steward Cao has worked hard."
Butler Cao immediately shook his head, "It's not hard to do things for the eldest lady. If the eldest lady has no other orders, the old servant will leave first."
White raccoon waved his hand, butler Cao bowed and stepped back.
"Miss, this key?" Qiwen looked at the key on the tray, frowning slightly.
The white raccoon took the key on the tray and tossed it up leisurely, "Let's go, let's go and see what's left in the Zhongyihou Mansion?"
The white raccoon stood up leisurely and walked towards the warehouse.
Qiwen took the key, exchanged a glance with Yunzhi, and followed.
There are quite a few warehouses in the West Mansion, all of which are connected together. Bai Li directly asked Qi Wen to open the largest one.
There are many large and small boxes densely packed in the warehouse, and there are royal bestowal stickers on the boxes.
"Miss, what is stored in this storeroom is the royal gift from the emperor to the master, wife and miss." Qiwen said, and opened several boxes nearby, only to find that all the items inside were fakes.
Yun Zhi widened his eyes, frowned and said, "Why is it still a fake? Then Steward Cao said everything was right, and this servant thought he had exchanged everything back."
The white raccoon sneered, "What he's right about is the quantity, and he didn't exchange these things, so he just wanted to exchange them, but he couldn't find the real ones to exchange for."
The butler Cao is as cunning as a fox and as timid as a mouse. He must have made up all the things he was greedy for before, otherwise he would not hand over the keys to please her, let alone take his head as a guarantee.
Casually walked around in the warehouse, but found that there was not even a genuine product.
Master Zhao!
The white raccoon sneered, turned around and entered another warehouse.
"This should be the wife's dowry."
Looking at the red boxes all over the room, the white raccoon blinked in surprise, "My mother's dowry?"
Isn't her mother's origin unknown? Where did so much dowry come from?
"My lady doesn't know something. Although my wife is not a lady of any family in the capital city, the dowry that my wife got when she got married back then was really red makeup, which envied all the ladies and ladies in the capital city." Qi Wen smiled and explained the raccoon's doubts.
Back then in the capital city, I don't know how many young masters envied their Lord Hou, married a woman as beautiful as a fairy like his wife, and had countless treasures that ordinary people had never seen before.
The white raccoon leaned over, opened a box casually, and turned cold.
"How could it be a stone?" Yunzhi and Qiwen were also shocked, and immediately opened the other boxes, only to find that all the treasures in the boxes had been replaced with stones.
"How dare they exchange the wife's dowry for stones." Qi Wen clenched her fists, her eyes filled with murderous intent.
The white raccoon also narrowed his eyes dangerously, they are really not afraid of death, they even dared to touch her mother's dowry.
"I'll go to Juntingyuan to find Mrs. Zhao." Qiwen was so angry that even Aunt Zhao didn't bother to address her.
Bai Li raised his hand, "Wait, these things are not in Mrs. Zhao's hands, they should all be in Dongfu."
Qiwen frowned suddenly, "Miss, you mean the old lady?"
The corner of the white raccoon's lips curled into a sneer, Mrs. Zhao's idiot bag was just a **** in the old lady's hands, so it is impossible for Mrs. Zhao to have a good thing in her hands.
"Then what shall we do?" Qi Wen's face was solemn, if things were easy to handle with Mrs. Zhao, but difficult if they were with the old lady.
The white raccoon smiled evilly, his eyes were deep, "There is no hurry, we have plenty of time to play with them slowly."
