Chapter 10： hidden side quests

I still remember that when Luo Shuyu got married to the Third Prince's Mansion, at that time, Liu's family still helped him with the dowry. The dowry was at the level of an ordinary son-in-law's marriage, plus the dowry sent by the Third Prince's Mansion was barely enough. To cope with the past, Luo Shuyu at the time had no opinion on this, and besides, he was not very good at making demands of others, not to mention that he deeply felt that Luo Renshou was the minister of rites, and the poor family was not as rich as other people's families, less is less. It doesn't matter.

After opening his mother's dowry storehouse, he realized how stupid he was back then and how long Luo Renshou had fooled him.

His mother was a real Shili Hongzhuang back then. All the boxes were placed here. Even if they were misappropriated by Liu, the big things were still there. She didn't dare to take them out, they were all first-class Good material.

It's really embarrassing, if he didn't suddenly get angry with Luo Renshou, is this dowry still being misappropriated by them? His son is really sorry for his dead mother, blame him for believing too much in those ulterior motives and snakes and scorpions. Heart man.

Fortunately, it is not too late.

How he got his mother's dowry list was thanks to the official lady who told him about the mink robe that Luo Shuyu was wearing in his previous life.

After returning from the rebirth, Luo Shuyu immediately asked Qingwang to send someone to find the people of his grandfather's family. Although the Chen family had fallen, the thin and dead camel was bigger than the horse and used to be a big family. They still have their place in the capital. Through several time-honored shops, Luo Shuyu found his mother's nanny. A few days ago, she was invited to Luofu to quietly meet with Luo Shuyu. The other party handed him a box with tears in her eyes, saying that she would finally wait until the young lady's child came to find her. Inside was a list of Chen's dowry and a list. An unsigned letter.

The letter was written by my grandfather to his mother, but unfortunately my mother fell ill after they left Beijing. This separation is a permanent separation, and I never saw this letter again. If he didn't come back, he would still miss it again. The content of the letter is not long, mainly to hope that she can take good care of herself and not worry about her parents, her brother and others, even if they are sent back to their ancestral home, they will live well.

The Chen family was once again in the capital. They were the emperor's favorite people, but the emperor's favor would always be out of date, and it was easy to be missed by people when he became famous. After something happened, Luo Shuyu's grandfather was dismissed from office and left the capital.

The nurse said that she did not go to Luofu to find his mother, but the people from Luofu chased her out three times, always looking for reasons not to let them meet, saying that she was afraid that the Chen family would harm the Luo family. In fact, something was hidden from the Chen family.

Luo Shuyu counted the time. The nurse went to Luofu to find his mother after the Chen family's affair was settled. After carefully counting the time, his mother was already ill at that time, and her condition was extremely ferocious. It didn't take long. He passed away, and when the nurse came to the door again, she only learned the news of her death, and because of this, the letter entrusted by his grandfather was never sent out until Luo Shuyu sent someone to look for him.

Now, ten years have passed since his mother passed away, and the Chen family has also left Shangjing for many years.

If Luo Shuyu hadn't been reborn and had not read the book, he might never have known that his grandfather had left a letter to his mother and this dowry list.

Luo Shuyu personally counted the warehouse. When Luo Renshou handed him the warehouse key, Luo Shuyu also emphasized that everything that Liu took away had to be moved back, otherwise the lost part would be filled with money. The warehouse that his mother never opened before her death, After her death, the good things were ruined by these people. The dowry not only raised these people, but they also used the dowry to bully her son. If his mother was alive, she would be so angry that she wanted to jump out of the coffin.

Luo Shuyu doesn't know when Liu started to manage this warehouse, and the things in it will only be less and not more.

He re-registered the dowry in the storeroom and made a new book, and compared it with the original dowry list one by one, and recorded everything that was not there. With the people brought by Mommy Feng, the counting speed was accelerated. It took two days to sort out everything. The missing part, he wrote a list and handed it to Luo Renshou.

Luo Renshou pretended to lock up the Liu family that day because he was afraid that Luo Shuyu would make trouble. There were two consequences for the trouble. One was that he had no face, and the other was that if outsiders knew that the current Minister of Rites was greedy for the dowry of his deceased wife, he would let the successor's room squander freely. , used to subsidize the family, and the censor knew that he didn't ruthlessly participate in his book. The image of a clean official he created over the years is afraid that it will no longer exist.

With the inventory, Luo Shuyu appeared in Luo Renshou's study. He came to be held accountable and asked for compensation.

Luo Renshou's teeth are sore when he sees Luo Shuyu now, and he doesn't want to meet him at all. He only feels that he is now like a grievous soul who is only asking for his life, clinging to him.

From the day he received the imperial edict of marriage, he hadn't been comfortable for a day, and he was even bigger than the other when it came to the dowry of his deceased wife.

"Father, this is the list of dowry items that are missing in the warehouse. I won't say much else. The key is in your hands, and it was Liu who misappropriated it. You know better than me what is right and wrong. There are no items that Liu misappropriated. Use it on me. I came today hoping to get back the dowry I took out, otherwise I will have to go door by door to get the things back. I may be thicker than yours, and I don't think you want to see it. "

Luo Renshou was stunned by his preemptive move.

It was only today that he began to look directly at this son, who had been quiet and undisturbed from childhood to adulthood. In retrospect, most of the time he had a perfunctory attitude towards this son and seldom cared about him. But the day he came down from the imperial decree, he became another person.

It turned out that he did not fight or rob, but before the time came, his marriage with the third prince gave him this opportunity.

Besides, when it comes to returning Chen's dowry, he can't fault the etiquette. This is another place where Luo Renshou feels aggrieved. There's nothing he can do about it.

Luo Renshou thought about it, and once again put all the faults on Liu's head: "Liu's family is from a small family, and he has no insight. Seeing money, he is inevitably greedy. I will make up for it when I look back."

"You have a father." Luo Shuyu thought, talking about money hurts feelings, but once there is no emotion, you can only talk about money, "Father will be fair and impartial, and will not be biased."

Luo Renshou was again distracted by the high hat he suddenly gave him, and was very upset, so he sent to call the housekeeper.

In fact, when Luo Shuyu went to find Luo Renshou, he sent someone to call the housekeeper in advance. Luo Renshou's special words for loving fathers that Luo Renshou had just brewed came before he had time to export the housekeeper. It would be impossible to play emotional cards. Luo Shuyu didn't have the slightest smile at him now.

Although the housekeeper is a servant, he has been working in the Luo family longer than Luo Shuyu's age. Luo Renshou usually follows Luo Shuyu's attitude towards Luo Shuyu. He has always followed Luo Shuyu. , the housekeeper was also respectful in front of Luo Shuyu and did not dare to make trouble.

Luo Renshou asked him, "How are you doing the things you asked for the past two days?"

When the housekeeper saw Luo Shuyu, he knew which one Luo Renshou was referring to. The biggest issue in recent days was the fact that the son-in-law wanted his biological mother's dowry. Everyone in the family should know. Everyone said that his sudden change in temperament was because the former wife had given him a dream, otherwise, how could a person no longer bear it? , I came all the way and wondered if I had done anything wrong to him, and now facing Luo Shuyu, I didn't dare to speak with his head held high as usual.

Butler: "Master, I have packed all the things that I can get back into the box. The eldest young master, the second young master, the fourth young lady, and the fifth son have all searched for them. Now they are locked in the warehouse, and I don't dare to move them."

Luo Renshou: "Tomorrow, send everyone to move to Shu Yu's yard."

The housekeeper: "Yes, this is the list. I would like to ask the master and the third son to review it." He wrote two copies, one for Luo Renshou and one for Luo Shuyu.

Luo Shuyu took a quick glance at the dowry list that was withdrawn, and evoked a shallow sneer. It seemed that Liu was not very cooperative. When he counted the warehouse, it was at least 30% less. What he took back was only a little bit of fur, and it didn't splash at all. Splash.

Luo Renshou also frowned: "Just like that?" What does Mrs. Liu mean? He loses face in Luo Shuyu every day now, and he still doesn't know how to share his worries! It's still hiding!

The housekeeper said: "That's all the madam said."

Luo Renshou patted the list on the table: "She's really brave!"

Luo Shuyu thought that Luo Renshou was still doing a show here for him, which was really boring.

Butler: "Master, this..."

Luo Renshou looked at Luo Shuyu and said, "Shu Yu, tomorrow I will let Mrs. Liu explain to you, and I will pay you back what should be paid."

Luo Shuyu didn't give Luo Renshou any room to bargain, and pointed to the price behind each item: "Father, if you can't find it, you don't have to force it, I'm very happy to find it, and I won't be a lion in my mother's dowry. I don't want any more. I just hope that my mother can live in peace below and don't have to worry about me. There is a corresponding value behind the missing list I gave you. They are all converted, and I can't find them back , you can make it up according to the price above. Over the years, Liu's younger brother has bought a lot of properties outside by taking advantage of your reputation. Presumably our family's money has been fed out. As for the dowry for my marriage, you can decide It's good, it doesn't matter if it's less, I don't think the third prince will be too embarrassed for our family."

When Luo Renshou heard him mention Liu's younger brother, he couldn't help being shocked. How did Luo Shuyu know? He didn't even know that this Liu family still had something to hide from him! Later, when he saw the money converted from the used dowry, cold sweat almost fell from his forehead, but he can only pretend to be calm at the moment. It seems reasonable for Luo Shuyu not to talk to him now.

He pretended to be very helpless and sighed: "Okay, I'm sorry for your mother, and I'm sorry for you, I will convert it into silver money and a shop for you, and I will finish this matter the day after tomorrow at the latest, so I won't lose any money. You. All these years, it is also my fault that I did not investigate." Liu's subsidy to his younger brother's account will also be well settled.

Luo Shuyu didn't answer him, just listened with a blank face, Luo Renshou felt at a loss, his emotional cards hit the south wall, and he was a little embarrassed. If he had been able to scold Luo Shuyu in the past, but now, this time is different. Gone are the days.

At this time, the servants outside passed the eldest young master and Shen Gongzi together.

Luo Shuyu raised his eyelids, the relationship between the eldest brother and Shen Mingyun was as good as ever.

Liu's two sons, the eldest brother Luo Shumo and the second brother Luo Shuhan.

Luo Renshou said suddenly, "Let them in."

If Luo Shumo and Luo Shuhan came to Luo Renshou's yard together, Luo Shuyu would avoid it for the time being, but Shen Mingyun was also there, so he had a reason to stay, and it seemed that he didn't need to avoid it deliberately.

The speed of Shen Mingyun's system releasing tasks is still very fast.

As soon as the two came in, they saw Luo Shuyu drinking tea leisurely.

Luo Renshou wanted to send Luo Shuyu back, but what happened just now made him humiliated, and he really couldn't say it.

Luo Shumo called Luo Shuyu: "Shu Yu."

Luo Shuyu didn't have a deep impression of this eldest brother, but only knew that he had always been close to the eldest prince. He also entered the palace as a child to study with him for a period of time, and it was also at that time that he had a relationship with the eldest prince.

Luo Renshou was able to go to the position of Shangshu in official circles, and his mind was not bad. The eldest son was close to the eldest prince, and the second son was closer to the prince. No one was offended, and anyone who asked only said that they were doing things for the emperor.

Among the current adult princes are the eldest prince, the prince, the third prince, and the fourth prince. The most likely one to get the throne is the prince. Everything is possible.

So, what is the important thing for Luo Shumo and Shen Mingyun, who are close to the eldest prince, to come to Luo Renshou?

Luo Shuyu smiled at Luo Shumo, his eyes were sharp, and he seemed to ask unintentionally, "Brother, where are you fighting from? The corners of your clothes are covered in mud."

When he asked, Shen Mingyun's expression froze slightly, because the familiar system task prompt sounded in his mind at this moment.
