Xu Wu took a deep breath and changed the topic: "Eldest sister, you should still remember that your mother made a marriage arrangement for you back then. A few days ago, this family sent someone to send a greeting card, and the two families We discussed the date and chose a good and auspicious day to get married."

Xu Yixuan blinked, glanced at Xu Yihan who was silent on the side with confusion, and immediately said to herself, "Something's wrong."

Although Xu Yixuan has been forced to live in her ancestral home in the south of the Yangtze River for these years, she knows everything about what is happening in the capital. She even sneaked back to the capital more than once to add fuel to the fire and watch the show secretly.

Back then, Xu Yixuan's biological mother, the Shen family, came from a branch of the Shen family, the richest man in Jiangnan. Grandfather Shen accidentally saved the life of the Duke of Laozhen by chance, and it happened that Shen was pregnant with Liujia, so the Duke of Laozhen took the initiative to propose that the two families marry Qin and Jin.

Previously, the Xu Wu family had always claimed that Xu Yihan was the flesh and blood left by the former Shen family and regarded it as her own. In the past six months, a valuable dowry has been prepared for Xu Yihan. Looking at it now, in half a month, Xu Yihan will marry into the Zhenguo Palace as the eldest daughter of the Shen family. How could she suddenly change her mind?

Xu Yixuan doesn't believe in conscience discovery or anything. The Zhenguo Duke's Mansion did not hear any unusual news such as "The young master is seriously ill and will die soon, and he is in urgent need of a happy occasion."

Something is wrong!

"Daddy agrees to this matter?" Xu Yixuan lowered her head pretending to be shy and asked anxiously.

"Look what you said, eldest sister." Mrs. Xu Wu secretly pulled her impulsive daughter Xu Yihan and smiled, "After all, eldest sister, you are Sister Shen's biological flesh and blood."

"Second concubine said it's a good match." Xu Yixuan nodded in agreement, Cai Mi said, "Then I wonder how much dowry daddy and second concubine are going to give me? The betrothal gift from the Zhenguo government must be quite a lot."

"Hey, how can any girl ask how much dowry she can have?" Xu Yihan took the opportunity to say scornfully.

"Oh, so I can't ask." Xu Yixuan replied naively, "So when sister Han gets married in the future, she doesn't know how much dowry she can have."

"You!" Xu Yihan's almond-shaped eyes widened and she glared at Xu Yixuan, feeling that the guy with crooked eyebrows in front of her was very annoying.

"If you can't ask, then don't ask. I can take all the dowry that my mother gave me to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion." Xu Yixuan suddenly mentioned the dowry left by her biological mother Shen.

Xu Wu's heart immediately tightened and she said in surprise: "What, what dowry?"

Seeing this, Xu Yixuan took out the booklet from her sleeve pocket as if she had expected it.

And this booklet is not a side item, it is the dowry list from when Shen married Xu Cifu, who was still a poor scholar. Make it in triplicate, one for the official archives, one for the Shen family, and one for the husband's Xu family. No one can cheat or deny it.

Shen is the only daughter of Grandpa Shen. When she got married, Grandpa Shen was afraid that her daughter would suffer hardship, but she gave her a lot of valuable things as a dowry. As far as Xu Yixuan knew, half of these dowries were given cheaply to Xu Cifu, and the other half was secretly put into her own pocket by Xu Wu.

Because a woman's dowry is private property and can only be left to the woman's biological children, not even her husband's family has the right to appropriate it. Therefore, even as a husband, Xu Cifu must not embezzle the dowry left by the Xu family. Otherwise, at least he will be criticized and despised by the world, and at worst, he will get a lawsuit.

What's more, it's the Xu Wu family who fills in the house. Once the evidence is conclusive, there will be no escape.

Seeing Xu Yixuan looking at her with a smile and those extremely familiar eyebrows, Xu Wu's eyelids twitched. At this moment, Mrs. Xu Wu regretted very much that she should not have softened her heart for a moment and listened to her daughter's words and brought the little girl back to the capital, who had finally been sent back to her ancestral home!
