Aunt Sun was invited into the meeting hall.

She held a small cloth bag in her arms. When she came in, she ignored the prince and the third prince sitting in the seats. Instead, she walked towards Han Youning with all her eyes on the "mistress".

She burst into tears, looking like she had been separated for many years, "County Master, are you okay?"

Han Youning felt that Aunt Sun's acting skills were a bit exaggerated, so she smiled and said, "Aunt Sun, I'm fine."

Aunt Sun blinked and tears fell, "County Master, don't blame me. I was really frightened by what happened last night and I don't dare to stay here anymore."

After she finished telling what King Jin had ordered, she reluctantly added her true thoughts, "But if the county master really can't live without the old slave, the old slave can overcome it..."

Han Youning smiled, but he didn't intend to let her come back again. It was indeed not safe to be around her.

"The guard said that you accidentally took away my things. You saved my life. You can just keep the things. Why bother to come back again."

Aunt Sun waved her hands quickly, "That can't be done! This box is made of red sandalwood. It seems that there are good things in it, and I don't dare to take it!"

She put the small cloth bag in her arms on the table and opened it layer by layer, revealing a small box with exquisite carvings.

Han Youning took the box in surprise and said, "Aunt Sun, why is this box at your place?"

Aunt Sun said, "The county master was in a coma last night, and the old slave was helping you get dressed. He accidentally found a box like this under the pillow. The old slave thought that the county master cherished it so much that it must be something valuable, so he took it with him.

.As a result, I was in a hurry when I returned to Prince Jin's Mansion, and the county owner was sent to Chunhui Hall, so I forgot to return it to you."

Han Youning smiled and said, "Aunt Sun, you have really helped me a lot."

She took off an exquisite necklace from her neck, and the pendant under the necklace was a key.

The box was opened, and inside was a box full of banknotes.

Aunt Sun's eyes were full of little stars, "What a good boy, so many banknotes!"

Han Youning smiled and said, "More than five hundred thousand taels, my entire net worth. I thought it had all been reduced to ashes, but I thought you would help me take it out."

She took one and gave it to Aunt Sun, "Let this be your reward."

Aunt Sun took a look at the banknote and laughed.

Although she is illiterate, she can recognize the words related to silver, one thousand taels!

Oh, you are right to follow the mistress! You will never earn so much money by following the prince in your lifetime!

Aunt Sun secretly despised the prince, and secretly swore to God to express her loyalty to the mistress.

Han Youning took out a thick red brocade-covered book from the bottom of the box, as well as a peacock hairpin, and shook it at Han Qingwan.

"Don't worry, cousin, your innocence can still be found."

Han Qingwan's face turned pale in an instant.

Dowry list!

Mrs. Han and Little Wen also looked pale.

They planned it painstakingly, even though Han Rui and Magistrate Liu were responsible for it, but they still didn't destroy it!

This list came at the perfect time. Han Rui and Magistrate Liu had already been dealt with, and it also appeared!

Zhao Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, "What the county master is holding is a dowry list?"

Han Youning said, "Exactly."

Zhao Chen said, "Bring it here and have a look."

Wei Xiao, who was next to Zhao Chen, gestured to walk over to get the dowry list. Zhao Chen glanced lightly, and Wei Xiao turned a corner and walked to a maid.

"Go and make another pot of tea."

After giving instructions, he returned to Zhao Chen, lowered his head, and looked at his nose and heart.

Han Youning frowned, what's wrong with Wei Xiao?

She looked at the dowry list in her hand, walked over slowly, and stood two steps away from Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen Damajindao sat down, took the dowry list from her hand, and read through the pages.

The more he looked, the darker his face became.

The dowries on the list are all valuable, and some of the antiques, calligraphy and paintings are even of great origin. They are treasures that high-ranking officials paid huge sums of money to explore all over the world, and are priceless.

He looked at Han Youning, with a flash of guilt in his eyes.

He said warmly, "Mrs. Xian Ding's dowry is really generous. She deserves to be from the richest family in Xiangping Prefecture."

Han Youning looked indifferent, "My grandparents only have one daughter, my aunt, so naturally they are doted on and want to give her the best things."

It's a pity that most of these things were occupied by Mrs. Han and the young Wen family. Later, when she married into the prince's house, the few dowries and shop properties left in the treasury were also transferred to Han Qingwan's house by the young Wen family.

In the dowry.

Two girls from Duke Dingguo's palace got married together, and the beauty shocked the capital.

With smiles on their faces, her father and brother watched her get on the sedan chair. They thought they had given Chen Man all her dowry and she would live a good life in the Prince's Mansion.

But what they didn't know was that what belonged to her were just pitiful cheap things. She didn't even have any money to press the box. When the Prince's Mansion wanted to hire some servants, she couldn't get any money out of it, and she was despised by the servants.

Roll your eyes.

But there was a full three hundred thousand in cash in my mother's dowry, which could be used for emergencies at any time. It did not have to be exchanged at a bank like a banknote.

Afterwards, she counted the dowry. Although she knew there was something fishy in it, she did not dare to tell her father and brothers, who were already in trouble, and only added trouble to them.

Zhao Chen was silent and said, "Okay, I will count the dowry for your aunt now."

Han Youning was blessed and remained silent.

Zhao Chen looked at Han Qingwan, who was distracted, with cold eyes, "Miss Han, please bring your heads and faces, and let's face off. Did your father-in-law buy them for you, or are they on the dowry list?"

Han Qingwan's face was white and her body was as happy as it should be. Her feet were like stepping on clouds, her steps were shallow, one step was deep and the other was shallow, and she left.

When she came back, she had regained her composure and was holding a box in her hands.

She put the box next to Zhao Chen and opened it, then stood next to Han Youning.

Zhao Chen frowned and asked Wei Xiao to bring a chair over and place it beside him, and placed a low table in the middle.

He asked Han Youning to sit down, leaving Han Qingwan standing there alone.

He took out a jeweled gold hairpin from the box and said to Han Youning, "Come and look for it on the list to see which one it is."

Han Youning turned sideways and looked at the dowry list on the low table, squinting and reading carefully line by line. After flipping through a few pages, she placed the list over to Zhao Chen, pointed to a line and said, "This is. Jasper Qibao

Exquisite hairpin."

Zhao Chen did not respond.

Han Youning looked up at him strangely.

Zhao Chen looked into her eyes and said in a low voice, "The county master has a disease in his eyes. Why do you squint your eyes to read the order?"

Han Youning was stunned.

She didn't notice that she still maintained her previous habit, because she was almost blind and squinted unconsciously when reading and writing.
