When Mrs. Chen left Gu Qingyuan's yard, Madam Zhang came up to her and said sternly: "Old madam, why did you just leave? We haven't achieved our goal yet. If we leave like this, we won't be advantageous to that guy!"

"What should I do if I don't leave?" Mrs. Chen frowned: "Don't you see what Gu Qingyuan looks like? She is not willing to hand over the shop to me at all. All she said is just a waste of humiliation!"

Mrs. Zhang frowned: "But what about the shopkeepers? They have evidence that you embezzled Gu Qingyuan's dowry. If we push them into a hurry, it won't be good for us!"

Mrs. Chen sighed and asked, "How much money do we still have on hand? Is it enough to fill the hole?"

"Madam, you really plan to give them money!" Mrs. Zhang frowned: "Those people are bottomless pits. If they take the money and taste the sweetness this time, then how much money will we have to use to fill this hole? "

Mrs. Zhang's words made Mrs. Chen frown. This was indeed a problem. Why didn't she think of it?
Those shopkeepers are not fuel-efficient, but if she doesn't care this time, those shopkeepers will betray her immediately!

Thinking like this, Mrs. Chen shook his head: "I know you are worried, but we must handle this matter, at least get over it for now, otherwise, the dowry matter will not be hidden."

Mrs. Zhang sighed and said, "If I have to raise money, I can only use your dowry."

Mrs. Chen frowned: "My things have always been mine. Now they are just temporarily mortgaged. After the matter on West Street is settled, we can slowly negotiate with Gu Qingyuan!"

Mrs. Zhang thought for a while, nodded and said: "Well, that's right, old lady, then I will go and do this now."

After saying that, Mrs. Zhang left in a hurry.

On the other side, Suihan also came back with Mayue.

When she saw Ji Wenyue, Gu Qingyuan was stunned for a moment.

"Aunt Wen?" Gu Qingyuan frowned: "Why are you here?"

"I was worried that something was wrong with you, so I came here to take a look." Ji Wenyue said, looking at the injuries on Gu Qingyuan's body, and said solemnly: "She didn't make things difficult for you, right?"

"No." Gu Qingyuan shook her head: "She just wanted my shop on West Street, but I didn't give it to her."

"This Ms. Chen is really disgusting. She even won't let go of your dowry." Ji Wenyue paused: "It's just that she didn't succeed, so she will definitely not be willing to give up."

Gu Qingyuan nodded: "Of course I know this, but I don't know what she will do next, and right now, I don't have the time to care about Chen's affairs."

"Oh? So you have other plans?" Ji Wenyue asked.

Gu Qingyuan nodded: "At present, Li Shichen owes gambling debts. I plan to use this opportunity to let him get a good beating from the Duke."

"Gambling debt!" Ji Wenyue looked at Gu Qingyuan in shock: "He...how did he get into such a bad habit?"

"It's not surprising that Li Shichen contracted such a bad habit. He was never a good person." After saying this, Gu Qingyuan looked at Ji Wenyue and said seriously: "Aunt Wen, I hope you don't tell the country about this. Lord."

Ji Wenyue nodded: "Yes, yes, but I want to know why?"

"So what do you want to say?" Gu Qingyuan raised an eyebrow: "I know your feelings for the Duke, but I have my own plans, and I hope you won't disrupt my rhythm."

Ji Wenyue smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I won't disrupt your rhythm."

Afterwards, Ji Wenyue had some off-topic conversations with Gu Qingyuan before leaving.

After Ji Wenyue left, Suihan asked worriedly: "Madam, why did you tell Aunt Wen your plan? What if he tells the Duke of Guo?"

"Just say it." Gu Qingyuan waved his hand nonchalantly: "This is just a move, a move to test Ji Wenyue. I have to know if she is really with me." "Then if she tells Mr. Guo What should I do?" Sui Han asked,

"Let's just say it. It doesn't matter if you don't want an ally who will betray me for a man. It just gives an advantage to Li Shichen and his son." Gu Qingyuan said.

After a cup of tea, in Mrs. Chen’s yard, Ms. Chen looked at her dowry box in astonishment, with disbelief written all over her face: “How could this happen? Where is my dowry? Where have the house deeds and land deeds gone? ?”

Little Mrs. Zhang shook her head, with shock written all over her face: "I don't know! Your things are all here, and they are usually kept untouched. And for the time being, only you have them, and no one else has them!"

Chen's dowry, including the house and land deeds, totaled 8000 taels.

In these years, she had not touched her dowry in the Duke's Mansion. Later, after Gu Qingyuan married in, she continued to use Gu Qingyuan's dowry.

Logically speaking, even if her dowry is not large, it cannot be small!
But now, she has nothing.

"What on earth is going on?" Mrs. Chen looked at Mrs. Zhang, her eyes filled with suspicion.

"I don't know!" Mrs. Zhang paused: "Old lady, let's report to the official!"

"Reporter? Do you want everyone to know that my dowry has been stolen? You are not embarrassed, but I am too! Go and call Brother Chen over!"

After Chen finished speaking, she turned around and left this suffocating place.

Not long after, Li Shichen arrived.

After seeing his gloomy-looking mother, he said seriously: "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

"Brother Chen, my dowry is lost." Mrs. Chen said seriously.

When Li Shichen heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Lost? How could it be lost? Mother, have you put all the dowry away?"

"How could I not put away such an important thing!" Chen frowned and gritted his teeth: "8000 taels! That's 8000 taels!"

"What! 8000 taels!" Li Shichen's face was full of shock. His mother's dowry was actually 8000 taels!

Mrs. Chen sighed: "Originally, these things were left to you in the future, but now...Brother Chen, you must help your mother find those dowries! If you can't get them back, I won't even die." assured!"

"Mother, don't worry, my son will do his best." After Li Shichen said these words, he turned and left.

After leaving Chen's place, Li Shichen directly left the Haoba Duke's Mansion...

Just when Mrs. Chen was gnashing her teeth because of the dowry, a servant came to report that Chuntao asked her to come over.

She hesitated for a moment, then followed the servant out.

After seeing Chuntao, Mrs. Chen frowned and said, "You asked me to come here. Is there anything wrong?"

"Old madam, I have thought of a good way to deal with Ji Wenyue." Chuntao said seriously.

When Mrs. Chen heard this, she immediately became energetic: "Oh? Are you serious?"

"Of course, I've been thinking about it all night."
