Although her mother was just a commoner, she had heard from the older servants that her mother was a business genius who sat on half a mountain of gold at such a young age.

Otherwise, if the father of a noble king were to marry a commoner, the old prince and the madame would never agree to the marriage.

That year, his mother's dowry was extremely generous, causing everyone to be shocked and envious of her.

Perhaps it was time for him to take back the dowry.

Madam Wang had watched a good show during the day, and seeing the mother and daughter of the Madam Li being reprimanded by the old mistress, she felt extremely happy in her heart.

Who said that Aunt Li was only a concubine, yet was in charge of the Palace for so many years. As the legal and proper wife of the Second Elder, she still had to live under the suppression of an aunt.

It just so happened that Aunt Li was sly. Other than the incident on their way back to the residence on the first day, there was nothing wrong with her during these many days. Even if she wanted to catch hold of her weakness, she had no way of doing so.

However, although Aunt Li was sly, her daughter was arrogant and brainless. She couldn't even harm a person, and had instead brought her own servant girl in.

With that thought in mind, Madam Wang took a sip of the tea in his cup with a joyful expression on his face.

But her good mood disappeared without a trace with An Lingge's arrival.

"Why has the First Miss come to my place today?" When Madam Wang saw An Lingge, he immediately became jubilant and got someone to bring the young miss tea, and his face was filled with a warm smile.

"Auntie used to call for you, but you were always busy and couldn't get by. Is it rare for you to have free time now?"

An Lingge had a gentle smile on her face, and looked slightly embarrassed, "A while ago, Second Aunt had just returned to the manor, and she must be extremely busy. Why did Little Ge come and disturb me? After that, Aunt was pregnant and I entered the academy. I couldn't pull away, so I hope Aunt won't take offense to it. "

"Those words of yours are foreign to me." Madam Wang pretended to be angry and glared at her, "If you can come to aunty's place, I'll be very happy, so why would I blame you?"

But An Lingge was truly a rare guest, she didn't know why she was here, so she asked.

An Lingge lowered her eyes, her face carrying a hint of shyness, "Come to think of it, I'm ashamed. Little Ge and Prince Mu’s Palace have already decided on a marriage, but after so long, I still haven't prepared my dowry yet."

"My mother left a long time ago, my father was busy with political affairs, and my grandmother was old, so she did not care about these things. Out of all the family members in the entire household, only Second Aunt could help me. So, I shamelessly came to Second Aunt to ask. "

So the dowry was coming.

The amiable look on Madam Wang's face dimmed for a moment. Isn't he going to take away more than half of the treasures in the warehouse?

"Eldest Miss, it's not that Second Aunt doesn't want to help you, but you know it's less than a month since I've returned to my residence. I'm not familiar with these things yet, and I'm also pregnant, so I can't lift my spirits no matter what I do. "How about this, after some time, when Aunt feels better, she'll go discuss it with the madame, your dowry will definitely be sufficient."

In any case, she would not be able to recover from her pregnancy in a short period of time, could An Lingge force her to prepare those dowry days?

During this period of time, she had to quickly fish up all the oil she could get, lest she did not have this opportunity in the future.

Madam Wang thought about pushing this matter over, but An Lingge was not so easily fooled. She nodded her head in accordance to Madam Wang, and her words made the Madam Wang feel as if it was stuck in her throat, "Aunt is right, you are pregnant now, and it is time to raise you, Little Ge coming over to disturb Aunt's quietness, you really shouldn't have done so."

"What should I do? Aunt is truly happy that you came here today." Madam Wang's face regained his amiable smile, and his expression showed no signs of falsehood, "Aunt said before, I don't have a daughter, so I treat you as if you're half a daughter. If you treat me like this, Aunt will be hurt."

"However, I can't prepare the dowry right now. And since Aunt's body is heavy, I can only wait until it is ready before I prepare it for you. Eldest Miss shouldn't be in a hurry, right?"

How could a daughter be more important than her own son? If she could dig out a little more from An Lingge's dowry, she would be able to prepare more for her son, and would be able to take advantage of him even if she were to say that they were related.

Since the Madam Wang had already expressed this opinion, An Lingge naturally could not pursue her anymore and ask about the dowry, or else it would be ungrateful and she would not be able to understand the Aunt's difficulties.

What's more, what did it matter for a girl who didn't leave the pavilion to mention her dowry all day long?

An Lingge touched a soft nail on her head, but the smile on her face did not change at all, it was still gentle, "It's because Little Ge was worried too much and made it difficult for Aunt."

Madam Wang slightly perked his lips, how could it not be easy to get rid of a little girl?

However, An Lingge changed the topic of the conversation, "This dowry is a complicated matter anyway. If Aunt is the one to prepare it, then it would be hard for you to take care of it. It just so happened that Grandmother allowed me to take a few days leave from the academy. I took this opportunity to go and discuss it with Grandmother, then find a few trustworthy nanny s to handle this matter. "

"That won't do!" Madam Wang immediately retorted, seeing the other party looking at her with doubt, her bright black eyes filled with confusion, she then laughed, "You also said that the old lady does not care about this when she is old, if you take this matter to the old lady, won't it disturb her peace?"

An Lingge blinked her eyes, as if she was seriously considering Madam Wang's words. A moment later, she finally spoke, "Aunt is right, Grandmother is already old, she definitely doesn't like to be disturbed by these chores."

"But there's still Third Aunt. Although Third Aunt is low-key, she's very orderly when it comes to handling things. Grandmother often praises Third Aunt, so why don't I ask her for help?"

Her expression carried a bit of joy, as if she had thought of a good idea, and caused the smile on the corner of her Madam Wang s lips to stiffen.

Madam Wang made it so that her smile looked more genuine, and said, "Sister-in-law's business is indeed safe, but you had a fight with Second Miss a few days ago, are you not afraid that Sister-in-law would reject you? Even if she agrees to do this, I'm afraid she wouldn't truly think for your sake. "

It was not a secret that An Lingge and An Lingxue had quarreled. Madam Wang had her own trusted aides in the Palace, so she would naturally receive this news.

She used this excuse to persuade An Lingge, and indeed, the latter frowned, feeling very worried, "Otherwise, I will go find Aunt Wei. She was originally a servant by my mother's side, she would be extremely respectful to me, and besides, she should know about the dowry."

How could he have forgotten this person!
