She was secretly glad that this habit was only known to her now, otherwise, the incredible thing about her rebirth would have been revealed.

Zhao Chen is very thoughtful, so you should be cautious in front of him.

Han Youning took the handkerchief and lightly tapped the corners of his eyes, and whispered, "My little girl has lost her etiquette. My little girl has lost all her relatives. She cries too much and her eyes feel uncomfortable, and her reading is a little blurry."

Zhao Chen withdrew his gaze and said, "That's it."

He looked at the dowry list. A piece of catkin, white and delicate, with a healthy pink color, was lightly tapped on a line of words. His fingernails were pink and tender, with a soft and lustrous luster like pearls.

A hand as skinny as wood suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, trembling slightly, holding the brush in his hand tightly and silently reading the Buddhist scriptures.

A pair of eyes as dry and lifeless as dry wells, tightly squinted, with no trace of emotion visible in them.

Zhao Chen closed his eyes tightly, then opened them again. The finger had been retracted, and there was only the dowry booklet in front of him.

He said in a low voice, "Jasper Seven Treasures Exquisite Hairpin. Very good, continue."

He took out the items in the box one by one, and Han Youning found them one by one on the dowry list.

Zhao Chen's eyes were always on her, but she no longer squinted, her eyes were clear and bright, slightly drooping, and all the spring color was gone.

Zhao Chen closed the dowry list and handed it to Zhao Yin, "Third brother, do you still think Miss Han was wronged?"

Zhao Yin looked at Xiao Wen who was already kneeling on the ground with a sullen face, "Mrs. Han Er, please tell me why these heads and faces came into your hands."

Little Wen lost her manners and knelt down, bowing her head, "I was greedy for a moment because of my good-looking face... Your Highness, please forgive me, it's none of Wan'er's business..."

For the current plan, she can only come out and take the blame according to the previous arrangement. She can't really bear to see her daughter's bright future cut off!

Mrs. Han twisted her prayer beads and sighed in disappointment, "I think you are a good person. I will leave the household items to you to take care of. How could you do such a despicable thing and covet your sister-in-law's dowry!"

Han Qingwan's steps were heavy, she walked to Little Wen's side and knelt down. She took Little Wen's hand and said sadly, "Mother, you are confused... No matter how good the gold, silver and jewelry are, how valuable is character! What do you want your daughter to do?

At home..."

Little Wen stopped crying and looked up at Han Qingwan in disbelief. Her daughter actually made trouble for her!

This is the daughter she has raised single-handedly and treats with all her heart!

Zhao Chen sneered, "So the second lady has accepted this matter."

Little Wen felt sad in her heart and took her hand out of Han Qingwan's hand, "I acknowledge you."

Zhao Chen stood up and said, "The other dowries on this list should also be paired by the way."

Jinhe Hall is built spaciously, with five rooms wide and three entrances in the front and back.

The layout of the courtyard is elegant, very similar to Chen Man's courtyard in Xiangping Prefecture. The chrysanthemums in the garden are full of vitality.

Next to it, passing through the moon gate, there is a small cross-yard with three main rooms, which are also accessible from the front and back. This is the yard where Han Sixing lived when he was a child, but he moved away after Chen Man's death.

The back room of the small courtyard, as well as the more than twenty wing rooms in front and back of Jinhe Hall, were all used as warehouses, where Chen Man's dowry was piled up.

The warehouse was opened one by one, and the list was read page by page. The anger on Zhao Chen's face became more and more intense.

Most of the antique calligraphy and paintings are missing, and those priceless treasures have been replaced with fakes that can be bought for a few taels of silver. Most of the jewelry, gold, silver, jades, and porcelain ornaments are also missing, or have been replaced by worthless street stalls.

goods.

There were also entire sets of rosewood furniture, entire sets of huanghuali wood furniture, and all kinds of expensive screens and fans, many of which were missing. What was funny was that some of the pieces of furniture that had been brought in to replace them turned out to be worn out.

The most conspicuous thing is the 300,000 taels of cash, which should have been more than a hundred boxes of shocking silver ingots, but there are only a few silver boxes left in the warehouse, lying there alone.

In the end, even Zhao Yin was furious. He was used to being direct, and what he couldn't stand the most was this kind of filth and filth.

He kicked over a silver box and the silver ingots were scattered all over the floor. "The Yongping Marquis Mansion is really a good upbringing!"

Zhao Chen's whole body was filled with a bit of cold air. "It's really eye-opening for me to be so greedy. These dowries, including the profits from those shops and villages, if I can't make up for it, little Wen, I'm afraid it won't be enough just to pay for your life."

Little Wen was paralyzed on the ground, with a look of despair on her face. How could she get so many things back? How could she find those things that had been given away so many times?

Mrs. Han and Han Qingwan both stayed out of the incident and remained silent, fearing that the prince's anger would affect them.

Zhao Chen had no intention of letting Han Qingwan go. His eyes turned cold and he looked at her intently, "Miss Han, do you still feel aggrieved?"

Han Qingwan was in good health and maintained a dignified manner, "My little girl doesn't dare. I didn't know where I was from before, so I spoke nonsense out of ignorance. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, forgive me."

Zhao Chen's face was covered with a layer of frost, and he looked even more formidable with his mysterious clothes, "The person who should forgive you is not the orphan, but the Zhaoping County Lord. You took the dowry, ruined her reputation, and harmed her."

Should I apologize to her for my life?"

His voice was slow, but every word was like a knife. It was as cold as ice and snow, making people feel like they were falling into an ice cave.

Han Qingwan felt a chill running down her spine and couldn't help but take a step back.

How can we start talking about taking her life?

The arson incident has not been confirmed, how can it be blamed on her!

Han Qingwan did not dare to disobey him. She walked to Han Youning and apologized, "My Lord, please forgive me. I wrongly blamed you because I didn't know the truth. My Lord, please don't argue with me..."

Compared to Zhao Chen and Zhao Yin's anger, Han Youning was much calmer.

She was not surprised by Han Qingwan's apology either.

With so many blood debts, how can a simple apology be enough?

Blood debt must be paid with blood.

Without looking at Han Qingwan, she squatted on the ground, tried her best to lift the silver box up, picked up the scattered silver ingots piece by piece, and neatly stacked them into the silver box.

These were carefully prepared by the maternal grandfather and maternal grandmother, carrying their deep feelings for their daughter. The mother brought them into the Dingguo Palace with joy, full of shyness and good expectations for the future.

Soap boots embroidered with gold thread appeared in front of her. Zhao Chen squatted down and picked them up with her.

Han Youning's movements slowed down, but he didn't stop him.

The two quietly picked up the silver ingots, sealed the silver box, and left Jinhe Hall.

Zhao Yin followed closely, and when passing by Han Qingwan, he paused, and finally said nothing, and strode away.

After they left, Han Qingwan, who had been kneeling all the time, dared to straighten up. Her legs and knees were stiff and painful, making her beautiful face distorted.
