Chapter 3

Su Jingcheng and Lan Shi had been stuck together for a whole day, and even at night, they couldn't bear to part ways.

The Bai Family Courtyard couldn't help but take action.

Lv Fu, Bai Yiniang's personal maid, ran to the study to deliver a message, saying that Bai Yiniang had been exposed to wind when she entered the mansion yesterday, and today she is so sick that she is not very clear headed.

Su Jingcheng naturally felt sorry for Bai Shi, but Lan Shi saved face for him and he was also happy in his heart.

Neither can be left behind.

Chuntao replied to me after watching the commotion, "That Green Lotus knelt at the door of the study for a long time, earnestly pleading with the master to visit her aunt, crying uncontrollably.".

But the old man was so coaxed by the one in the room that he couldn't even leave, and he kept dragging on and on

I curled my lips, got up from the noble concubine's bed, lazily holding onto the hand of a spring peach and preparing to go to the study:

"Let's go to the corridor to watch a play, Spring Peach."

Chuntao lowered her head and grabbed her sleeve, wanting to say something but considering everything.

I saw her predicament and asked directly, "What else is there?"

Chuntao spoke up and said, "Last night, Madam asked the maidservants to count the dowry. I didn't know what to do, but upon seeing it, I realized that all the gold, silver, and other valuable silk from Madam's dozens of dowries were gone. Aunt Lan took them all to make new clothes!"

It's disgusting to claim to be an independent woman but occupy the dowry of the main household.

It seems that this cannot be done well, why not build the stage bigger.

Stir the water in this pool as thoroughly as possible.

In the previous life, Aunt Lan was also granted a decree after Bai entered the mansion, and her relationship with her husband grew stronger.

Bai intentionally stepped forward and begged Su Jingcheng to come and see her, even though she was sick.

However, at that time when she had just entered the mansion, she was weak and weak. Su Jingcheng, out of the imperial decree bestowed by the Holy Emperor, ultimately stood on the side of Aunt Lan.

I know that no matter how miserable Aunt Bai moans without illness today, Su Jingcheng cannot leave Lan's house.

But if I had taken action, today's situation would have been different.

I originally planned to watch the fire from across the shore, but Lan moved my dowry, which I couldn't bear.

So, I led a group of servants from the courtyard to the study in a lively manner.

When they arrived, they saw that the maid of the Bai family, Lv Fu, was still kneeling at the door of the study, attempting to persuade the lord to go and see the Bai family.

Chuntao stuffed the note I had prepared earlier into Lvfu's hand and asked her to bring it to Bai Shi.

The maid rubbed her kneeling leg and ran very humbly to pass the message.

To be on the safe side, I asked Chuntao to go to the butler's room again. The butler followed Su Jingcheng in and out, and was most familiar with his things.

After supporting the most trustworthy maid, the little maid behind me stepped forward and supported me:

"I don't know what Madam is doing?"

I bent my lips, gave a heavy thrust, and knelt to the ground:

"Please be the master, be the master! Aunt Lan has embezzled my dowry and even attempted to forcibly occupy Aunt Bai's personal money!"

A few little maids behind them knelt down in fear, and in front of the study door, they all knelt down in a large area.

No matter how lively the room was, Su Jingcheng, the lord, had to go out and see the situation.

I saw the door of the study slowly open, and Su Jingcheng pulled Lan Shi out. The two of them hastily put on outer clothes.

Su Jingcheng frowned and broke his patience. Lan Shi took the lead in saying:

"The master mother kowtowed before coming up to the study late at night. Is this not intended to make the master rest in peace?"

Su Jingcheng agreed, "Yes, what can't be said tomorrow?"

"This matter is about the peace of the house, we cannot delay it! Please make the decision!"

My words were resounding, and as I finished speaking, I slammed my head on the ground.

Upon seeing this, Su Jingcheng quickly asked someone to help me up and said, "At least she's also the mistress of my Su Mansion. It's not a rule to kowtow if you don't agree. Get up quickly."

His patience was running out, and as I stood up, I quickly explained in detail about the embezzlement of my dowry.

The man didn't believe it: "How did you know that Lan'er took your dowry? Besides, taking a few pieces of jewelry casually wouldn't make such a big fuss, would it?"

Su Jingcheng sent someone to bring out a chair and sit down.

Aunt Lan felt guilty on her face, but she didn't spare anyone:

"Yeah! The mistress falsely accused me of taking it without saying anything, is there any evidence?"

Aunt Lan has embezzled more than 500 taels of silver, gold, and silver from my dowry, as well as several pieces of jewelry and cloth. If you want evidence, what she is currently wearing is evidence!

Her outer garment is top-quality Sichuan brocade, which I brought from my mother's house. How can I buy it in the capital?!

Even if one can buy one or two horses, how could there be such good quality?!

Su Jingcheng glanced at Lan Shi and pretended to be angry:

"Is this cloth yours, take it for tailoring? Take it off and give it back to the mistress!"

Su Jingcheng's intention was to cover up for the Lan family, but because his remaining money had nowhere to go and there was no evidence, he assumed that he had only taken my cloth.

No wonder Su Jingcheng married me without any feelings, and he also favored the Lan family not for a day or two.

Only with the appearance of Bai Shi, who is equally important in his heart, can he possibly face this matter head-on.

Aunt Lan recognized Su Jingcheng's intentions and knew that the man was intentionally protecting her. Although she was unwilling, she had to take off her coat and throw it in front of me,

"Who cares! Look at your stingy appearance."

I gave Lan a sideways glance and knelt down heavily again:

"Master! Even if you don't make decisions for me, you should think more about Sister Bai! Sister Bai has just entered the mansion and is gentle and weak, so she must be easily bullied. Now that she has been robbed of her own money, it will be difficult for her to move forward in the Su mansion..."

As expected, Su Jingcheng interrupted before finishing his sentence:

"Wait a minute, what's your business with Bai Er?"

As soon as the words fell, the delicate voice of Bai Shi came from outside the courtyard:

"Husband... cough cough cough, although I am sick today, for the sake of fairness, I will definitely come here... cough cough cough..."

With the help of Lvfu, Bai walked trembling towards Su Jingcheng, who was worried and stood up to help others.

Lan gave the two people a fierce glare, then held her arms and looked away.

Su Jingcheng helped the person to sit down and stood by himself, asking:

"Madam said that Lan'er also stole your body money, is there such a thing?"

Bai cast a glance at me and then slowly spoke to the man:

"There was no such thing."

The tone is gentle, but the words are clear.
