Allure of a Country Maiden

His stepmother even stole her stepdaughter's dowry. If such a thing happened in Prince An's Mansion, and everyone in Prince An's Mansion knew about it, how would she live her life in the mansion with her head raised in the future? Du Yijin couldn't stop feeling angry.

"No, I have to go home!" Du Yijin couldn't help but stood up and walked out.

What if the ancestral jade bracelet from Prince An's Mansion was taken by the Gu family to pay off gambling debts?

It’s not like Gu has never done this before! If the Gu family really took it to the pawn shop to exchange it for silver to pay off their gambling debts, it would be impossible for them not to redeem the ancestral jade bracelet. Then everyone in the imperial capital would know about it!

In that case, not only would he be embarrassed, he would also be embarrassed by the entire Prince An's Palace!

Du Yijin felt terrible when she thought about this possibility, and her face turned pale with fright.

Shangguan Ruixi obviously also thought that it was Du Yijin's stepmother who did this. When he saw Du Yijin walking out regardless, he quickly grabbed her: "Yijin, don't panic, how can the bride go back to her parents' house today! Don't worry, let's go back and ask her tomorrow. Just be clear.”

"No, you don't understand, my stepmother, what she did..." How can we not be anxious! She was almost dying of anxiety! As soon as she got married, she caused Shangguan Ruixi's hand to be injured, and then caused the entire palace to be embarrassed. How could she have the face to face them? !

"Don't worry, I know, but you can't go back. Tomorrow is the day to come back, so be it! If you have something urgent, how about writing a letter and I'll have someone send it back to your father-in-law?" Shangguan Ruixi interrupted her. If so, how could he not know what she was worried about.

But now that she is running back like this, people will see her and all kinds of speculation will spread.

Du Yijin calmed down after hearing this: "Yes! Write a letter, I'll write it right away."

Then she ran out the door again.

Shangguan Ruixi pulled her funny: "Where are you going to write letters? The small study is over there."

Du Yijin couldn't laugh, so she ran over quickly.

Shangguan Ruixi winked at the maid and asked her to serve Mo.

At this time, Qingfeng came in with Furong, and Shangguan Ruixi asked about the day when he led the team to carry the dowry to Du Mansion.

Fu Rong told everything he saw that day.

After hearing this, Shangguan Ruixi was even more certain that Gu had stolen the jade bracelet!

Otherwise, how dignified would it be for the majestic mistress to stay outside the warehouse? !

"The Crown Princess has lost several pieces of jewelry from her dowry. One of them is a jade bracelet passed down from our ancestors. That jade bracelet must not be left outside. In a moment, you will send the Crown Princess's letter to my father-in-law, and then inquire about Mrs. Du." Did she go out today? If she did, find out where she has been today! I'm worried that Mrs. Du took the ancestral jade bracelet to a pawn shop or used it to pay off gambling debts, or even sent it back to her parents' home."

The Gu family must be waiting for the money to treat Gu Honggen and Gu Hongxia's injuries. With Gu's care for her natal family, all the stolen things will be used on her natal family members.

Furong knew the seriousness of the matter as soon as he heard this! If the ancestral jade bracelet of Prince An's Mansion ends up in a gambling shop or a pawn shop, if word gets out about it, where will Prince An's Mansion lose its reputation?

At this time, Du Yijin also finished writing the letter.

Shangguan Ruixi took it and handed it to Furong: "This matter should not be made public. If the princess doesn't ask about it, just keep it a secret. If you ask, tell the truth!"

"I know, I will go down and make arrangements now!" Fu Rong took it and quickly stepped back. This is really a matter of great importance.

Du Yijin watched Furong retreat, but her heart could not calm down. She was really worried that Gu had pawned the jade bracelet.

And Fu Rong couldn't redeem it in a big way, he could only redeem it secretly, which would definitely cost a lot of money.

Shangguan Ruixi saw this and comforted him: "It's no big deal, don't worry, Furong can handle it. I'm here for everything, you don't have to worry."

Du Yijin felt warm in her heart and nodded.

Shangguan Ruixi didn't dare to stay in the room with Du Yijin for too long, so he said a few more words and then found an excuse to go out.

Du Fu

Du Zhongkai did not go to the Yamen today. Du Yijin was getting married and he specifically asked for four days' leave from the Yamen.

He heard Dewey say in the study that the steward from Prince An's Mansion came to see him and was shocked. He thought something had happened to Du Yijin at Prince An's Mansion!

Generally, someone from the husband's family comes to the door the day after the wedding. Many people think that the bride is not innocent and the husband's family will cancel the engagement.

The pen in Du Zhongkai's hand fell to the table, and the well-written big words were ruined: "Quickly pass!"

After Furong came in, he presented a letter to Du Zhongkai.

When Du Zhongkai saw the envelope, his heart skipped a beat: Could this be a letter of divorce?

Furong saw that Du Zhongkai's outstretched hand couldn't help but tremble, so he knew that Du Zhongkai had misunderstood. He quickly said: "Master Du, this is a letter written by the Crown Princess. It seems that the Crown Princess's dowry has been stolen."

Fu Rong deliberately lowered his voice after speaking, fearing that others would overhear him.

Du Zhongkai was relieved after hearing this, but the dowry was stolen? how come? Didn't he always let the accountant guard the warehouse?

Could it be that the servants of Prince An's Mansion stole it? Won't! Du Zhongkai quickly denied his guess. If someone from the palace did it, Yijin would not write back! You must know that family scandals should not be made public!

He quickly opened the letter and read it, and then the overwhelming anger in his heart burned instantly.

This Gu family is so audacious! Lawless! Does she still have him as her husband and this family in her heart?

"This is totally unreasonable! Come here! Call me over here, Madam!" Mrs. Gu will not stop until she has completely harmed his children and the Du family!

The stepmother cheated on her daughter’s dowry? When word of this spreads out, what will the people in Prince An's Mansion think of his family? Where to put his face! Can Yijin still be able to raise her head and be a good person in Prince An's Mansion in the future? How dare she do this! How could this be done!

Du Zhongkai had to consider divorcing his wife! Otherwise, with such a mother, how would his remaining two sons find wives?

After hearing Du Zhongkai's words, Dewey said: "Master, my wife went out early this morning."

"What? Did she say where she went?" Du Zhongkai felt bad after hearing this!

When Mrs. Gu had money, she would go out early in the morning and nothing would happen when she came back!

Furong also felt that something was wrong. It was already past noon, so he hurriedly said goodbye: "Mr. Du, the ancestral jade bracelet was passed down by the Empress Dowager. We must not leave it alone! If Mrs. Du comes back and knows the whereabouts of the jade bracelet, she will Please send someone to inform me next time. I’ll take my leave now!”

Passed down by the Empress Dowager? After Du Zhongkai heard this, he knew that the matter was of great importance. He quickly asked Dewey to send Furong out, and then sent him to retrieve Gu.
