Pushing open the door, they saw a mess in the flower hall. The vases, teapots and teacups were all broken on the floor, and even the chairs were on their backs. No one was in the flower hall, so Xu Ruoshui opened the curtain to see if he was in the inner room.
, Unexpectedly, something hit me, but luckily I caught it quickly with my quick eyes and hands. I took a closer look and saw that it was a pillow. Fortunately, it was just a pillow. If it had been a hard object, this head would have already blossomed.
"Get out of here, get out of here." Wang Mengjiao was lying on the kang table and said heartbreakingly.
"Auntie," Xu Ruoshui shouted, "it's me!" Wang Mengjiao raised her eyes faintly, her cruelty disappearing instantly, "Sister-in-law, I...I...why are you here?" Xu Shi did not expect this.
Xu Ruoshui will come in when I'm embarrassed.
"I'm worried. Come here and see you." Xu Ruoshui sat down by herself, looked around the inner room, and sighed, "Auntie, why are you doing this? It makes you feel unhappy."
"Sister-in-law, do you know what I'm thinking?"
"How could I not know," Xu Ruoshui replied. The inner room was so messy that there was no where to go. "Let's tidy up the room first. Even if the second young master comes later, he won't be happy to see it like this."
Xu Ruoshui looked at the furnishings in the room. Many of them were from his own room. When he saw familiar things, his heart twitched and he quickly calmed down. "Let the maids clean it up first. Once it's done, we can talk."
."
Xu Ruoshui took it upon herself to let the maids come in and clean up, but Wang Mengjiao refused to let them enter the inner room and said sadly, "I can clean up here myself." It seemed like there was something shameful going on.
But Wang Mengjiao seemed to have no intention of cleaning up. After picking up bedding and other things, she got on the kang again, looking like a miserable and resentful woman. "Auntie, don't be sad. Our women's life is miserable. Anyone can end up like this."
"It's a matter of fact." Xu Ruoshui consoled her, "If the second young master and the princess were not destined to be together, this marriage would not have been possible. They say that a thousand miles of marriage is tied by a thin thread. I think that golden hairpin has become a matchmaker."
"What golden hairpin?" Wang Mengjiao asked with little interest, "Isn't it my wife who has the final say in this marriage?"
"My aunt doesn't know. Yesterday, I accidentally met the second young master looking for the princess. He said that he had picked up something belonging to the princess. I saw that it looked like a red coral gold hairpin, and I was still thinking about what the princess could do.
Bring something tacky like this.”
"Red coral hairpin?" Wang Mengjiao asked, "Is the red coral in the shape of a phoenix?"
Xu Ruoshui pretended to think, and after a moment, said, "It seems so, Auntie, how did you know?"
Wang Mengjiao got off the kang, lifted the curtain, and said to the maids outside, "You all get out. You are not allowed to come in without my order." The maids agreed in unison and all went out. Wang Mengjiao then came in and said to Xu Ruoshui
, "Sister-in-law, help me."
Xu Ruoshui didn't know what she was going to do, so he had to follow her up the steps, "Push away the bedding for me and take off the bed board." As she spoke, she neatly pushed the bedding back to the ground, with the bed board on top.
It is quite difficult for one person to lift the good sandalwood. "Sister-in-law, help me lift it together."
The two of them lifted two bed boards. After Wang Mengjiao breathed a sigh of relief, she kicked out four huge boxes with her feet.
Xu Ruoshui clearly remembered that this box was her dowry. It was nine months after it was moved to the backyard that she actually saw the dowry her parents had prepared for her.
There was a sadness in my heart, Dad, Mom, don’t worry, one day I will get all these things back.
Wang Mengjiao opened the four boxes one after another and said, "Sister-in-law, please help us look for it. I must be missing something here." She took out a piece of paper, which Xu Ruoshui was very familiar with.
The dowry list compiled.
Xu Ruoshui was so good at checking that it surprised Wang Mengjiao, "No wonder Madam puts such emphasis on my sister-in-law. It turns out that you are such a capable woman. If the young master marries you, he will have a good life."
Whether it was a compliment or not, Xu Ruoshui didn't want to listen, because as far as he knew, the dowry was far more than that, and everything that had been given away had been marked by Wang Mengjiao.
After checking everything, it turned out that a red coral gold hairpin was missing.
Wang Mengjiao fell to the ground and said to herself, "Did he really take my things and give them to the princess?"
Xu Ruoshui was even more sad than Wang Mengjiao at this time. Her cousin had taken her dowry and used her husband. Who could calm down?
"My aunt has a good family background." This sentence was forced out of her throat.
"What did sister-in-law say?" Wang Mengjiao didn't seem to hear clearly and turned around to ask.
Xu Ruoshui held back her tears, took a breath, and said, "They say my aunt's family is rich, and today I finally saw it." It sounded like a joke.
"Oh~~~" Wang Mengjiao said uncomfortably, "These were secretly sent in by my mother-in-law. No one else knows about it. My sister-in-law has to keep it a secret for me. The golden hairpin that the second young master gave to the princess is mine.
One of the dowries.”
It turned out that Meng Tianqi took it for himself without asking. No wonder Wang Mengjiao looked miserable. This man was simply using her as a money bank.
"Don't think too much, maybe they are the same thing,"
"Sister-in-law, there is no need to comfort me. That golden hairpin was specially prepared for me by my parents, but it was red, so I didn't dare to bring it out." Wang Mengjiao said confusingly, thinking that she was Xu Ruoshui.
"You already have so much dowry, wouldn't Miss Xu's family have more?" Xu Ruoshui asked tentatively.
Wang Mengjiao's face hardened, and she said softly, "I don't know about this. Sister-in-law, please help me. I have to lock all these boxes."
It seems that she can no longer trust Meng Tianqi.
After packing up, the two of them were already sweating profusely.
"Sister-in-law, will the marriage between the second young master and the princess really come true?" Wang Mengjiao asked, wiping her sweat. Now that Mrs. Meng doesn't want to see her, she will definitely have to fawn over Xu Ruoshui who has found out more information.
In fact, Xu Ruoshui hates Wang Mengjiao even more. Although she is gentle and virtuous in front of others, she is not afraid of the sky falling when she loses her temper. That time she learned that Meng Tianqi likes Bai Meilan is the best proof. Unfortunately, Master Meng
The net was liberal and she was not detained for a full month.
"Eighty percent of it can be done. From now on, we will all follow the trend, right?" Xu Ruoshui said deliberately.
"No!" Wang Mengjiao screamed, and Xu Ruoshui was shocked even though she was prepared.
"Auntie?"
"I will not let anyone get close to Tianqi again, otherwise she will die or I will die. Only I can be the second young mistress in this house." Wang Mengjiao's voice suddenly became sharp, and she tightly grasped Xu Ruoshui's hand.
Hands, as if to vent the anger in his heart.
"Auntie, what's wrong with you?" Xu Ruoshui shook her hard a few times because the smile on her face was so weird.
