Duke Chen did not say anything, but his face was very blue.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Changsun thought he was acquiesced, so he continued, "Besides, didn't you ask me to tell Zhu'er about it? Our Duke's Mansion is now empty, even if we talk about marriage, this betrothal gift is not shabby, right? You are Duke, and now you have been appointed as a Duke of Guardians. You have a noble status. When holding a wedding banquet, you can't simply shabby. With this gold, we can do it extravagantly, which is also a way to increase your face."

Duke Chen had a storm in his eyes, but he asked calmly: "Didn't the shop that Azhen left behind before have money every month? Why is there only an empty shell left in the Duke's Mansion?"

Changsun cried out, "Zhuangzi has been drought in the past two years, so where can he get any income? As for the shop, he has poor management and bad business over the years. He can only maintain it and occasionally lose money. He always gets money from it to turn over. As for the big ones, he is in charge of his mother. I have no way to know whether the losses or profits are made."

Duke Chen pondered for a moment, "Zhuangzi had no income when he was drought, and if the store was not well managed, he would lose money. Then I handed it back to Jinning. Anyway, this was left by her mother, so I will give it to her sooner or later."

Changsun was shocked, "Take it back to her? How can she be done? How can she, a woman in the boudoir, go out to manage the shop and the village? Moreover, although this is the elder sister's dowry, the elder sister has been there for so many years, so the dowry will naturally be the Lord. What does it mean to hand over the property of the Lord to Jinning? Even if we are willing, the outsiders' spits will not overwhelm Jinning?"

Duke Chen sneered, "I don't have such a big face to eat Azhen's dowry. I feel uneasy even if I can eat it. Her mother's property is handed over to her hands. What do outsiders say?"

Seeing that he was serious, Changsun began to panic, "You have to think about Zhu'er, right? Jinning always wants to get married. She took Zhu'er away or something. What should Zhu'er do?"

Duke Chen sternly said: "He is a man, and he should rely on his own hands and feet to earn his family business. Who did I rely on back then? Isn't he also a marquis? If he wants wealth and power, he has to rely on himself to fight for it!"

When Changsun heard this, he was shocked, "What do you mean is that you don't even give him your hereditary position?"

"Depending on his ability, if he has been so cowardly, it would be useless to give him anything."

Changsun took a breath, "How can you be so ruthless? He is your son!"

After hearing this, Duke Chen felt like he was crushed.

Zhu'er is his son, but Jinning is also his daughter, and he is also the daughter he loves for him.

After so many years, he has been abandoning it and even turned a blind eye to it after taking it back.

"In the account book you have given me every quarter, there is a expense for Jinning to purchase clothes and jewelry, but I have just been to Lihuayuan and found that she has not had many clothes. Who are you doing those clothes for?"

He had no intention of questioning this tonight. He had always been a person who was afraid of trouble in the inner house. Many things were settled, but what Changsun said tonight made him "eye-opener", and he could not control his anger.

Changsun looked at him in surprise, "You go to Lihuayuan to see her clothes? Do you not trust me? You have been married for more than ten years, but you cannot trust me?"

Duke Chen looked calm and said, "Yes, I can't trust you, so you can hand over it as soon as possible, whether it is a Zhuangzi or a shop."

Changsun staggered two steps and looked at him in almost disbelief. Over the years, whether it was Zhen’s shop or everything in the family, he was relieved to hand it over to her. Now he said he didn’t believe her?

"I worked hard for this family. You actually said this now?" Changsun slowly stood up straight, with a sudden expression, "Chen Shouye, you are so cruel."

Any man who sees these words and sad faces will have to soften his heart and reflect on himself, but Duke Chen will not.

He never reflected on Jinning, let alone fill in the room with no feelings.

"In three days, I will see you handing back all the things Azhen back to Jinning's hands." After Duke Chen said that, he left with his sleeves.

When he left the door, he loudly ordered the third year of junior high school, "Purchase the Yaoting yard and I will move there in from now on."

Yaoting yard was where his first wife Zhen lived during her lifetime. Since her death, Yaoting yard has been closed and no one is allowed to enter and exit.

Changsun fell on the chair and said angrily: "Okay, okay, you'd better not come, but don't think I'll hand over the things. Not only will I not hand over, I have to take those gold too, it's Zhu'er's."

The lady came in and said softly: "Mrs. I don't have to contradict the Duke, so I promised the Duke first. Even if you hand over these things, the third lady will not be blessed to accept them."

Changsun was stunned and nodded, "Yes, I don't need to do it." No matter how much a person is about to die, will he still return it to her?

She actually forgot the plan in a hurry.

Jinning grew up in the village and practiced martial arts all the time. She looked half a head taller than Chen Jinrui who was pampered.

Therefore, Chen Jinrui's clothes were taken over in the third year of junior high school. When Jinning put them on, it was much shorter, revealing her white wrists, her skirt was hanging up to her belly, and her blue satin shoes were fully visible.

Unspeakable embarrassment.

The next morning, she dressed like this to meet Duke Chen.

Duke Chen was stunned and shouted to the third year of junior high school: "Isn't it a little longer?"

The third year of junior high school shrugged, "No."

"Why don't you hurry to go to the clothing store and buy her first according to her height." Of course, Duke Chen could not let Jinning enter the palace in such a dress. When he walked out, there was nothing to say. Others knew that he was mean to his daughter.

In the third year of junior high school, I had to go out for a trip in person.

The rest of Jinning and Duke Chen were staring at each other in the main hall.

After sitting for a while, Duke Chen suddenly asked, "What's wrong with that Captain Liang?"

"Have you asked Captain Liang?" Jinning asked back.

"I asked, he said he had never seen you before, nor did he have any complaints from his mother Zhang's family in the yamen, nor did he invite you to the yamen." Duke Chen was angry. He could see that Captain Liang did not tell the truth, but he didn't really believe Captain Liang dared to do this.

Jinning was silent for a moment before slowly raising his head and said, "My mother's family will definitely not sue the complaint. I will sue the master unless there is real evidence. But even if her family doesn't know what happened to her mother Zhang, her family will know a little bit. Of course, if someone instigated him and thought that the Duke's Mansion was weak and could be bullied, it would not be surprising to coax some money, but, if he could make the head of the Dingliang come to me, I didn't show up in the yamen but went to Langshan like the prince. The reason would be known by deep thought."

Duke Chen suddenly woke up, "You mean..."

He stopped immediately. She didn't know about the Fuzhou case and should not be instructed, but her words contained a message.

If Captain Liang had not been instructed by Jingzhao Prefecture, who would he do his job for?

Suppose he really let Jinning get on the carriage and then go straight to Langshan, does it mean that Langshan and Captain Liang have colluded?

"Who have you said these words to?" Mr. Chen asked immediately.

"No!" Jinning said lightly.

Duke Chen felt excited, and layers of fog seemed to have opened a small corner, and could see the reality behind the thick fog.
