Quick Wear: I've never been a good person

Chapter 108 9 Prince Yin's Daughter (1)

When Shuangshuang was about to get married, the caravan had already made a round trip.

He brought back a lot of gold, silver, fine leather and gems for Shuangshuang.

Shuangshuang asked them to prepare some more things and follow the wedding procession.

Of course, since I am leaving, I have to take back the Zhao family’s property.

In the second half of the night, he quietly came to a dark corner at the back door of Zhao's house.

It suddenly transformed into a small honeysuckle plant.

After a slight tremor, countless roots thinner than a hair immediately emerged and slowly sneaked into the Zhao family's gate.

When these roots spread throughout the Zhao Mansion, with just a thought, everything in the Zhao Mansion entered her body space.

Shuangshuang didn't bother to sort out the valuable items and the worthless ones, and quickly left and went home.

The Zhao family was awakened by the cold. When they woke up, they found that the quilts they were covering themselves had disappeared.

It’s so cold today, and everyone is lying on the cold ground in their pajamas. How can they not wake up from the cold?

So, overnight, the news that the Zhao Mansion had been emptied spread as the servants in the mansion went to the next door to borrow clothes to keep warm.

As for the Zhao family reporting to the police to catch the murderer?

Just look at the frowning brows of those judges in the Ministry of Justice and you will know that the situation is not going to work.

When the people from the Ministry of Justice came to investigate the case, the Zhao family kept suspecting this and that.

After all, who doesn’t have a few mortal enemies?

But there was no need to investigate those, as they were rejected by the people from the Ministry of Justice themselves.

In the end, the people from the Ministry of Justice could only say helplessly.

"This case is a bit tricky, so let's wait for notification!"

Fang Zheng has no time limit, so just wait.

Things moved very quickly in the palace. Less than a year passed from the granting of the marriage to the planning of the wedding, and the day of departure for Mongolia was almost here.

Shuangshuang saw the so-called dowries sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Old jewelry, cloth with wormholes, and some accessories and utensils that were probably used by palace servants.

I couldn't help but sneer. Are they so sure that they have no one to support them because of their father's death, so they dare not speak out, so they dare to be so bold?

Without saying anything, she asked Chuntao to hand over the sign, saying that she wanted to go to the palace to see the queen.

The Queen was unhappy because Shuangshuang had secretly met with Concubine Yi during her last visit to the palace.

So this time when both of them handed her the sign, she ignored it completely.

Shuangshuang didn't care and asked people to deliver it every day.

She submitted the request four times before the palace finally summoned her.

Shuangshuang didn't care about being neglected. She asked someone to carry two boxes, put all the special items in the dowry into the boxes, and carried them into the palace.

The Queen originally thought that Shuangshuang was going to marry far away, so she came specially to give some gifts to the sisters in the palace as a remembrance.

But unexpectedly, Shuangshuang opened the box in front of all the concubines who came to pay their respects in the hall.

He took out two pieces of cloth with wormholes in them, spread them out and showed them to the queen and the people in the room.

"Your Majesty, please take a look!

My niece wants to know, is the Imperial Household Department of the Qing Dynasty really so poor?

My niece got married as a county lady, but the dowry she gave her was this kind of cloth with wormholes.

And these utensils and accessories, please take a look at them. Are they for the master or the servants?"

When the queen saw these things, she felt as if she had been slapped twice in the face, and her whole body was burning with pain.

She was so angry that she was shaking all over.

Of course she knew that people from the Imperial Household Department would do some dirty things.

But I didn't expect them to be so bold that they were so blatantly harsh even on the dowry of Lady Fumeng.

It's harsh, so what? At most, it's just passing off inferior goods as good ones, and she can still make excuses for it when the time comes.

But what about using direct waste materials?

Will being insincerity make people unhappy?

The queen ignored the whispers of other concubines and directly ordered the personal nanny beside her.

"Go and bring all the eunuchs and palace maids from the Ministry of Internal Affairs who are in charge of Princess Anping's dowry to me and send them to the Ministry of Punishment.

Let’s take a closer look at what’s going on.

"Investigate the dowries they embezzled and find out where they went. Make sure they give it all back to me!"

Then the queen lowered her eyes to hide her endless disgust for Shuangshuang.

After all, it is nominally her responsibility to prepare the dowry for her married daughter.

Shuangshuang didn't give her any face and directly exposed this dirty thing.

Even if it was a slap on her face, how could she not feel disgusted?

However, I had to pretend to be magnanimous and tolerant and enlighten her.

"Yu Ludai, this is all my negligence, I am sorry for making you suffer.

But don't worry, I will not tolerate this matter and will definitely give you an explanation."

Shuangshuang slowly squatted down and bowed, "Thank you very much, Your Majesty. After all, a woman's dowry is based on her husband's family.

If I really took such a large dowry with me, I might not even survive my wedding night.

The main purpose is to make those tiny tribesmen think that our Qing Dynasty is so poor and destitute that it can't even afford a dowry for a married woman. That would be a loss of face for our Qing Dynasty!"

The queen was so angry that her face turned red and she slowly squeezed out a few words from between her teeth.

"Don't worry! I promise you!

There will never be such a mistake again!"

After Shuangshuang left, the queen was so angry that she smashed several teacups, and only then did she calm down a little.

He ordered the palace servants around him with an expressionless face.

"Go and invite the Emperor over, and tell him I have something important to discuss with you."

Yongzheng came over quickly. He always respected his first wife.

He also knew that she was not the kind of person who would make trouble for no reason, and that she had something to ask him after all.

As soon as he came in and saw these inferior products displayed in the middle of the hall, he was immediately furious.

These bastards in the Imperial Household Department are not only harsh on the allowances of other concubines, but also harsh on them on a daily basis.

He actually dared to embezzle the dowry of Lady Fumeng to such an extent!

Emperor Yongzheng was a person who could not tolerate any sand in his eyes, so this time there was a big earthquake in the Imperial Household Department!

Those bondservant families who usually bully others, show off their power, and exploit the low-ranking concubines and palace maids will have their homes confiscated if they are found to have done something dirty!

According to the severity of the crime, those who should be exiled will be exiled, and those who should be beheaded will be beheaded!

This inadvertently filled Yongzheng's treasury to the brim, and also inadvertently allowed Yongzheng to discover a way to get rich.

As for Shuangshuang, of course, we can only focus on comforting her.

Next, in order to compensate Shuangshuang for the grievances she had suffered, Yinzhen had to hold his nose and issue an edict to confer the title of Princess Anping on her.

Also, the dowry was given full approval by the queen.

Now Shuangshuang's dowry naturally increased by several levels.

In order to save face, the queen even added a lot of things from her own private room into the box to save face for Shuangshuang.

Of course, Shuangshuang also secretly packed all her previous dowry into boxes.

Next, there is only the matter of Mrs. Dong E.
