I don't understand what you're so mad about. I continued slowly, but still deliberately asked loudly:

“Ma ma, our bride price is so much…”

“Could someone secretly steal a few chests without us knowing?”

Three people facing each other... My heart immediately jumped. Mother Ho saw that I was intentionally speaking loudly, and saw that I unintentionally glanced at the three people opposite. She was an observant person, and immediately understood that they and I did not get along. These words were said for them to hear. So she also deliberately cooperated, like me, slowly speaking loudly, but seemingly unintentionally towards the other three people:

"You can rest assured, young lady! This old slave remembers how many gift boxes there are, and will count them every day."

“Each chest has a number on it, any missing chest will be detected immediately!”

After speaking, I saw the faces of the three people opposite immediately turn cold. I became even happier and slowly asked loudly:

“So mom, is it possible that someone secretly took some things from the trunk without us knowing?” “laugh out loud”

The three people opposite immediately perked up their ears. Ho Ma Ma cooperated again, laughing loudly:

"You can rest assured, young lady! Every day, this slave will ask Mrs. Tieu to compare it with the bride price list to check."

"Even if Mrs. Tieu's bride price list is lost, it doesn't matter, my wife's side still keeps a copy."

“Furthermore, the old slave also ordered someone to look after the warehouse to store the bride price, which absolutely cannot be lost!”

Hearing this, the faces of the three people opposite immediately became gloomy. Ho Ma Ma laughed and added:

"Even if it's really lost, you don't need to worry."

“How big is this palace, how big is the capital?”

“My family has a very good relationship with the Minister of Justice.”

"If you have your back again, there's always a way to get back"

“The Minister of Justice will definitely do his best to find the thief, there is no way to escape!”

“If we catch them, we will beat them up and send them to prison!”

After listening, the three people opposite instinctively cringed. The thought of peeking at the bride price also completely disappeared. Conspiracy extinguished! The three people went from looking excited, back to looking sullen, with sad faces. My mood is extremely good, even the cup of tea in my hand becomes more delicious. When my younger sister saw me so happy and leisurely, she felt extremely uncomfortable, both resentful and encouraging herself:

“In this life I will definitely live well!”

After speaking, he left angrily. I looked at my step-sister's back, thinking that in my previous life I had to work hard to become the Prime Minister's wife, but in this life I had a big supporter, so I could clearly enjoy the happiness. Suddenly I felt even more that her words were not worth paying attention to. This young lady - both lives have not been bad! Three days before getting married, my stepmother ordered someone to bring the dowry from the Marquis Palace (not the bride price from the Ta family) to prepare for me to take to my hospital. I immediately said:

"Oh my, it's so embarrassing to have my stepmother send someone to bring it to me."

“Ho ma ma, bring someone along, we'll go get it ourselves!”

As soon as she heard that, her stepmother immediately panicked and quickly wanted to stop.

"That's it!!! I'll send someone to bring it to you! There's no need for you to go!"

Are you kidding? I had guessed that my step-mother would definitely secretly transfer the dowry that belonged to me to my step-sister, so how could I not go and get it back myself! As for the stepmother's interference... I won't let her take profit. Ho Ma Ma also won't let her get in the way. Basic design cannot stop us! A path of pulling and pulling, chasing and running, finally reaching the warehouse. In the yard, my step sister was standing there with greedy eyes. Next to each dowry chest was neatly displayed. My sister's face immediately changed, I don't understand why we came here! The stepmother saw that we had arrived and knew that she could no longer be partial. Her face showed a painful look. I smiled and said:

“Oh my, that much dowry.”

“I don't know how to divide it?”

The step-sister and step-mother were about to loudly say that the step-sister would take the majority... Then they heard me continue to say:

“Divided equally?”

"Or maybe because I married into the Ta family, I should give myself a little more, so that our Marquis Palace can prosper?"

Ho ma ma also laughed and said:

“The young lady is still the eldest daughter, so she should be given a little more.”

Hearing that, the expressions of mother and step-sister immediately changed and they quickly said in unison:

“Share evenly!”

Mo Ma and I both burst out laughing. I continued:

"Mother, I married into the Ta family and am the eldest daughter. If my mother's family would not have respected me at all..."

"If this story spreads out, will it affect the reputation of our Marquis Palace, or affect mother's reputation? I don't know if it will involve other people in the family or not."

The step-mother wavered slightly, intending to give up a portion of the dowry, but was pulled tightly by the step-sister.
