"Third Miss, this is your mother's dowry booklet and its use. Take a look." She motioned to her confidant, Aunt Gu, to hand the box to Wei Zi.
Wei Zi took it and opened it, revealing two booklets.
Her heart sank slightly, and she already felt that something was wrong. Song Ma showed her that the album contained four thick volumes, but these two volumes were obviously thin.
He took out the upper booklet and opened it, reading down line by line. The more he read, the more he wanted to sneer. All the valuables were gone, leaving only some ordinary gold, silver, and jade items.
"The other volume is a record of the use of dowry." came Wei Zhuang's steady voice.
Wei Zi simply abandoned the volume above and looked directly at the next volume.
"In March of the fifth year of Yongchang, on Mrs. Yinru's birthday in Beijing, I gave you a set of precious stones, pearls and emerald hair and face."
"In July of the fifth year of Yongchang, the third son of Cheng Ming, a cloth merchant in the imperial capital, was full moon. As a gift, he presented a pair of Ruyi agate gold locks and a bag of gold leaves."
...
One stroke at a time, no matter how small it is, I remember it very clearly.
"What do you mean, madam, my mother's dowry was almost spent before she died?" Wei Zi asked calmly.
Wei Zhuang replied calmly: "It was indeed the case when I took over. The rest was used when preparing your dowry, and I even put a lot of it in."
The master posted a lot of posts? Is this daughter a loser?
Wei Zi felt cold in her heart. No wonder the original owner was so innocent and had no attachment to this family in his memory.
"There are two copies of the dowry booklet, one from my father's side and another from my mother's side. Mother Song, do you know where to put it?" Wei Zi didn't bother to look at it anymore.
"What do you mean? You suspect that I forged the brochure?" Mr. Wei said angrily.
"You will know if it is true or false."
The two dowry booklets bear the handprints of the Wei family and the Jiang family, proving that the dowry was jointly confirmed by the two families.
Although Wei Zi's grandmother left a hand and made a third dowry book, that book was not on the public record, so it only had the Jiang family's palm prints, not the Wei family's. Wei Zi could not use this book as evidence. Will recognize it.
Mrs. Wei Zhuang said regretfully: "I'm afraid the third lady doesn't know that a few months ago, when the weather was dry and the servants were not careful, the "Fanghua Garden" where your mother lived ran out of water, and everything in it was burned down."
"You—" Song Ma was so angry that her whole body was shaking.
Wei Zi patted Song Ma's hand, stood up, and said to Wei Zhuang in a deep voice: "Madam, regarding my mother's relics, I want to go to 'Fanghua Garden' to see them."
Mrs. Wei Zhuang nodded: "It's time to go and have a look. However, the third lady is afraid that she will be disappointed..."
When Wei Zi came to "Fanghua Garden", she was not "disappointed", but was amazed.
"They actually moved this place to the ground!" Song's mother said angrily.
Wei Zi was much calmer: "It's all a show. Since you have made up your mind not to let me get my mother's dowry back, it makes sense to sort things out."
Forge the dowry booklet left in the Wei family, burn the dowry booklet of the original owner's mother, and then use the original owner to give birth to kill the original owner - thus, perfectly embezzling the original owner's mother's astonishingly valuable dowry.
Even if the Jiang family, thousands of miles away, wants to get back the dowry of the original owner's mother, without any evidence, they can only eat Coptis chinensis in silence.
There were almost no flaws in this plan. The only thing Wei Zhuang failed to calculate was:
The original owner is indeed dead, but Wei Zi is here a thousand years later!
Wei Zi is not only proficient in medical skills, but also has a doctorate in archeology and has rich archaeological experience.
