Chapter 357 Dowry Supplement
The old prince said nothing, just clenched his fists and walked towards the old marquis.
The crisp sound of joints suddenly rang out, like the music leading to the gate of hell.
The old marquis' eyes widened instantly, and he kicked his legs to hide backwards. He was shocked and frightened, but he couldn't escape at all.
In the blink of an eye, the old prince arrived and grabbed the old marquis by the neck.
"Uncle, don't do it!"
Su Qingwan rushed over anxiously and grabbed the old prince's arm tightly to prevent him from strangling the old marquis' neck.
Su Zhiru was shocked!
No matter what, the old marquis was still his father. He couldn't really let his uncle kill his father, so he also stepped forward and begged for mercy:
"Uncle, don't be angry. We can still discuss this matter. Besides, my father never said he would not compensate my mother for her dowry."
"Yes, Uncle, my grandfather will definitely be willing to make up for the dowry. After all, it is unreasonable for such a large mansion to be supported by my grandmother's dowry. If this matter gets out, it will definitely cause laughter in the whole capital. My grandfather is a law-abiding person and will definitely not let the mansion bear such a reputation."
Su Qingwan also spoke repeatedly, and with just a few words, she gave the Marquis' Mansion a way out. If old Mrs. Kang and the old Marquis still did not agree at this time, then they would be courting their own death.
"Grandfather, please agree to it quickly. My uncle is in poor health. If he gets angry in the mansion, I'm afraid everyone in the mansion will suffer."
Su Qingwan looked at the old marquis anxiously, hoping he would say something.
The old marquis was being strangled by the neck, so how could he speak? He mumbled in his throat for a long time but didn't utter a single word.
"Make up, let's make up, please let my Lord go."
Old Mrs. Kang burst into tears.
This really cost her her life!
But now, if the old prince’s request is not agreed to, the old marquis will lose his life.
The old prince then let go of his hand and said coldly: "I will only wait for one hour. If the time is up and the dowry is not enough, I will do it myself!"
Old Kang quickly agreed, and now whatever they said was what mattered.
Afterwards, the people from Prince Yi's Mansion were invited to wait in the side hall, while the remaining masters from the Marquis' Mansion were left waiting with pale faces to discuss things.
Su Qingwan also called a doctor. They couldn't let the old marquis and old Mrs. Kang die at this time. After removing the fuel from the fire, they had to be severely punished.
Old Kang cried with tears and snot. She wanted to curse the old princess, the shrew, but she was afraid that someone would hear her. If the shrew heard it, she would get a beating, so she had to swallow her pain.
In his heart, he treated the old princess as a villain and beat her severely.
The old marquis had a hemostatic cloth stuffed in his nose and a swelling-reducing plaster on his face. He sat in a chair in a depressed mood.
Su Zhiwen couldn't stand his own coquettish appearance, so he went to change into a new pair of pants before coming over to discuss things.
Su Zhiyi no longer felt like despising him. He didn't dare close his eyes. Once he closed his eyes, he would remember the way the old prince looked at him. It was too horrifying!
Liu had a bad feeling and she just wanted to find an excuse to leave Rong'an Hall. If she had known that this would happen today, she should not have come here.
Xiao Kang was just as heartbroken as Lao Kang. How much money would it cost to make up for Li's dowry?
Su Yunrou frowned and looked at Su Qingwan who had just advised the prince. She always felt that today's matter was not that simple.
"Fourth sister, did you know before that the old prince and his men were coming to the Marquis' Mansion?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Su Qingwan. Old Kang's eyes seemed to be filled with poison, and she gnashed her teeth in hatred. Even the old marquis looked at her in confusion.
"Second sister, what you said is true. I am not a god, and I don't have the ability to predict the future. Now I should think about how to make up for my grandmother's dowry! I just looked at the dowry list, and I didn't expect there were so many things! But I think some treasures like jade and coral, as well as those large step-out beds, should still be in the Marquis' Mansion. We just need to ask someone to find them."
"Let's wait until we find out how much is still missing! If the public treasury is not enough, then each family will have to share the money. After all, my grandmother's dowry has been spent before! It is reasonable to take it out now. But our third family will not pay this money."
Su Qingwan spoke slowly and pointed out a way to the people in the Marquis' Mansion.
"We are all from the Marquis' Mansion. Why don't you, the third branch, pay the money?" Liu asked dissatisfiedly.
Sure enough, her bad premonition came true, and she had to spend money today!
"Aunt, our third family has never been in the capital, so how could we use my grandmother's dowry? Besides, even if we did, it would be reasonable. After all, my father is my grandmother's son, and my eldest brother, my youngest brother, and I are her grandchildren. Her dowry was originally left for us to use."
Su Qingwan looked at Liu and said with a smile.
As soon as these words came out, Liu felt a blockage in her heart and couldn't say anything to refute.
Xiaokang's face was full of envy. When she first saw the dowry list, she thought it would be great if Su Zhiwen was Li's son. That way, she would be able to take charge of Li's dowry with full legitimacy.
Old Kang covered his chest with his hands and closed his eyes.
There is no point in talking about this now; the dowry must be replenished.
"This is the only thing we can do now! Madam Xu, go and find the things on the dowry list." said Old Mrs. Kang.
Nanny Xu looked at the old marquis with embarrassment.
"Madam, many of these things are in the old marquis's place, and some are in the first and second houses. If we really want to take them all out, I'm afraid..."
"Madam Xu, Grandmother Kang asked you to do it, so you'd better be quick and do it quickly. My uncle only gives us one hour, and if the time is up, it will be troublesome." Su Qingwan interrupted Madam Xu.
The people in each room of the Marquis' Mansion have been using my grandmother's dowry over the years. Do they really treat it as their own?
"Go! Find all the items on the dowry list. If there is anything missing, register it and convert it into cash and return it to the palace."
The old marquis now only wants to send all the people from Prince Yi's mansion away. He will feel insecure if they stay in the mansion.
"Yes!" Nanny Xu had no choice but to hurry away.
Old Kang already had records of where these things had gone, so he found them quickly, but some of the things were not in the mansion or were damaged, so he could only pay for them with cash.
After everyone waited for a while, Nanny Xu came back to report.
"Old Marquis, Old Madam, we have found everything that can be found. These are the missing items. Adding them together, they are worth about 200,000 taels of silver."
"How much? How much did you say?"
The old marquis just thought he had heard wrongly. How could there be as much as 200,000 taels?
