Medical Consort, the Prince is Pretending to be Dumb Again
Chapter 14
Chapter 14
Hearing her words, Madam Zhang smiled apologetically. “Look at what you’re saying. When you get married, your mother’s dowry will naturally be used to supplement your makeup. Do you think I’ll hide it from you?”
She even said that she would use her mother’s dowry as her dowry?
...If the man she was marrying wasn’t a prince, the Grand Chancellor’s Residence wouldn’t give her a single cent, right?
Liu Shimei’s eyes were slightly cold. “I’ll talk about my dowry when I get married. Now, hand over my mother’s things. I don’t think Madam Zhang would want my grandfather to come and talk to Father about this!”
Madam Zhang did not take this little threat seriously.
The Grand Chancellor’s Residence had broken off relations with the Liang family for many years. Liu Shimei had almost become the Crown Prince’s Consort, and the Liang family had never cared about this granddaughter. Now that Liu Shimei’s reputation had fallen, and she had a stupid Prince as her fiancé, why would the Liang family help Liu Shimei?
After confirming this, Madam Zhang insisted, “Shimei, I am only in charge of your mother’s dowry. When you get married, the dowry will return to its natural place. Even if the Grand Chancellor were here, I would still say the same thing. You don’t have to worry about this kind of thing, just hurry up and worry about your own wedding!”
It was not without sarcasm, ridiculing Liu Shimei’s marriage!
Liu Shimei snorted coldly. “When I get married, the dowry will return to me? If I don’t count them now, how will I know if you shortchange me later?”
Listening to this, Liu Yan’er, who had been enduring it for a long time, finally could not bear it anymore and coldly snorted. “Big Sister, I don’t think you’ll need to show your face in public after you marry King Dun Yu. What do you need so much money for?”
This was ridiculing Liu Shimei’s ruined reputation and that she still had a stupid husband!
But who was the one who caused all this?
Liu Hui’s brows turned cold and her eyes were tainted with a trace of hostility. “Liu Yan’er, tell me, if I go to the Crown Prince and say a few words about you, will you be the first one to be eliminated among the candidates for the Crown Prince’s Consort?”
“Don’t you dare!” As if she had been stabbed in the heart, Liu Yan’er suddenly stood up.
Liu Shimei smiled. “Oh, after I marry King Dun Yu, the Crown Prince will be my eldest uncle. I think I should have many opportunities to see him!”
Liu Yan’er held her breath. She could not win against Liu Shimei, so she could only ask her mother for help. “Mother, look at her…”
Madam Zhang pressed the back of her hand and turned to look at Liu Shimei. “Shimei, as the Grand Chancellor’s wife, I am in charge of the household’s domestic affairs, but I can not act willfully. If the Grand Chancellor agrees to this, I will naturally have no objections. But he didn’t say anything. What do you want me to do?”
“Alright.” Liu Shimei also understood.
The stepmother was not willing to hand over the dowry, and even stood on the high ground with her ‘reason’. If they really wanted to tear it up, she was not in the right.
Instead of arguing here, it was better to create a reasonable excuse!
She turned around and left.
After leaving the West courtyard, Liu Shimei turned into the East courtyard.
The Grand Chancellor’s name was Liu Jun, and his public name was Liu Fuyun. He was not even 40 years old. Liu Shimei had a blood-related brother, and if he was still alive, he would be 20 years old. The Grand Chancellor’s eldest son had been carefully cultivated. He was well-versed in both literature and martial arts, and at the age of 15, he became the Crown Prince of the Capital City.
It was a pity that he fell down when he was feasting on his horse five years ago and was trampled to death!
Back then, Liu Shimei was only 11 years old and did not have the ability to investigate. Now that she thought about it, her brother’s death was also full of suspicion!
“What are you doing here?” Liu Fuyun had just returned from the office. He had changed out of his official robe and was in the study with a pot of hot tea, deep in thought.
He used to value Liu Shimei so much, but now he was so annoyed when he saw her!
Seeing this, Liu Shimei’s lips curved into a faint smile, and she said, “Father, I’m here on Madam Zhang’s orders to ask for Mother’s dowry!”
