Medical Consort, the Prince is Pretending to be Dumb Again

Chapter 15

“Madam asked you to come?” Liu Fuyun was surprised at first, but he quickly understood. “Why are you bringing up your mother’s dowry out of the blue?”

Obviously, the Grand Chancellor was also very clear that his current wife would definitely not hand over his ex-wife’s dowry.

Or rather, Liu Fuyun himself did not want to give up such a huge sum of money!

Liu Shimei remained calm. “I didn’t think so much at first. It’s just that I’m already engaged and I’ve lost Father’s favor. I’m afraid that I won’t be able to get married with dignity in the future, so I naturally have to mention Mother’s dowry.”

Liu Fuyun’s face turned black when she mocked him, but she ignored it and said, “Although I rarely have contact with my maternal family, I’ve heard that Mother is the only daughter of the Liang family and is a cherished daughter in the family. When Mother married Father, the Liang family almost emptied their coffers as dowry. They paid a fortune for Mother’s marriage!”

“That’s just a nice way to put it. It’s not that exaggerated!” Liu Fuyun could not bear to hear it any longer.

Liu Shimei smiled faintly and thought, ‘I’m deliberately exaggerating. I want you to lose your cool!’

She continued, “I wasn’t born back then, so I don’t know if it was this exaggerated. But… The list of dowries was definitely still there, and I just wanted to look through it. In the future when I get married, Mother’s dowry will definitely be a part of that marriage. As for how much dowry the Grand Chancellor’s Residence can give, that is not something I can imagine.”

Liu Fuyun was surprised to see that she had analyzed everything so accurately.

In the past, Liu Shimei was very noble and never cared about money and other worldly possessions. But now, she kept asking for money. She had completely changed!

“You keep bringing up the Liang family, are you trying to use your maternal family to threaten me?” Liu Fuyun did not take her threat seriously.

Not to mention that the Liang family did not have much contact with the Liu family after Madam Ruyi’s death, even the Liang family’s status in the court was simply declining. How could they compete with the Liu family?

Liu Shimei’s brows furrowed and she tilted her head. The tassels on her bun also tilted and swayed slightly.

She was originally very beautiful, but because of her cold and sharp eyes, there was a trace of fierceness!

“Since ancient times, the dowry has always been kept in one’s own hands and not used to fill the warehouse. It is also something that a mother leaves for her daughter. It seems that Father is not willing to return Mother’s dowry to me.”

She stared at Liu Fuyun and suddenly asked, “Then, Father, please wait and see!”

There was no need to argue here. She could threaten everyone with her words, but when it came to her property, she could not waste time!

Without capital, how could she rise to power as a woman in this world?!

Therefore, Liu Shimei bowed slightly and said, “Your daughter will take her leave!”

After leaving the East courtyard, Liu Shimei went straight back to Leihua Courtyard.

Currently, she did not have many valuable things. She only had those clothes and jewelry that were too old, which Liu Yan’er did not want.

Mo’er had tidied her up and was thinking about how to renovate her.

After Liu Shimei returned, she rummaged through the wardrobe and finally picked out the oldest piece of clothing. The most eye-catching part was that there was a hole in the front!

“Mo’er, help me patch this piece of clothing!”

“Young Miss didn’t want such clothes in the past!” Mo’er was puzzled.

Liu Shimei glanced at her indifferently, and she quickly said, “Mo’er will do it now!”
