How could he only blame his son? Back then, his eyes had also been blinded by the Qiu's.

Mother, don't be like this, your son was wrong. What do you want your son to do?

"Touch your chest, then tell me, is what I just told you the truth? Did I slander your Lady Head?"

When Madame Zheng heard that Old Madam Zheng had asked her to hand over Zheng Qingluo's dowry, she was somewhat anxious. In the end, Master Zheng had already kneeled down before her and thought that it was because she couldn't bear to part with the generous dowry Zheng Qingluo's mother had given her.

However, things turned out to be completely out of her imagination. Now, when she saw Old Mistress Zheng insist on setting aside her territory, she felt that things were not going well.

"Madam, you absolutely can't do this. What you know is that you despise us for not taking care of you properly. You don't know, but you might think we despise you. I would never do such an unfilial thing."

Madame Zheng kneeled in front of the madame resolutely. Beside the old master, Master Zheng was feeling indescribably satisfied when she saw her own wife kneeling beside him.

He raised his head to look at Madam Zheng, and saw that she was asking for rewards. Her meaning was obvious. See, I told you that my wife is virtuous and that you don't trust your son's judgement.

"Heh, you're so unwilling to part with me. Fine, I won't separate them then." Looking at her son's expression, Madam Zheng could not tell whether she should laugh or cry.

At this point, if he could not see through his wife's intentions, it would allow him to see more clearly and see what else he had to say in the end.

Hearing Old Mistress Zheng's words, Madame Zheng also relaxed. The first step was settled, as long as the Old Mistress was relieved, the rest should be fine.

Even Master Zheng heaved a sigh of relief. As long as the two of them could speak properly, there would be room for negotiation. One was his wife, and the other was his mother.

"Thank you, madame, for your kindness. Then your daughter-in-law will take care of it." The Madame Zheng stood up and was about to leave, but just as she turned around and held Luo Man's hand, the old lady's voice came from behind him.

"Don't worry, since you two have been so filial, and won't let me split it up, then I will take care of this mansion first. After all, you two have only just returned from the Weir Prefecture, so you're not very clear about the situation here."

"This, when you have been living here for some time and are familiar with everything in this house, I will hand over to you my home."

Bai Mei turned around and made a gesture, then walked to the old lady's side, "Arrange a place for them to stay. Just as I said, Ming Rui and her wife are to the west of my Songtao Academy."

He then looked up at his son, "That place is only slightly away from the main courtyard. No matter what, my son is an officer of the court, so he has to live in a better place. If not for my strong old bones, you should live in the main courtyard."

"Mother, I'm scared."

Old Mistress Zheng's words caused the uneasiness in Master Zheng to surface once again. Why does Mother's words sound so awkward? What do you mean we should live in the main courtyard?

"Madame, since Master and I have returned, how can we let you suffer any longer? You …" Without waiting for Qiu's to finish speaking, Old Madam Zheng cut her off.

You don't need to be courteous to me, it's your mother after all. It's my business to share your worries, not to mention that my body is still solid. How can I not be affected?

"Mother!"

Master Zheng was filled with gratitude. Thinking about how his mother had been thinking about him all these years, but he still went against her wishes time and time again. He felt guilty just thinking about it.

"You don't need to say anymore, I'm very tired. Gui Fang, go and get your account books. Mom helped you enter the residence's accounts. In the future, this account book will be handed over to you."

Madame Zheng was already panicking, her shout had already made her panic-stricken, but the madame ignored her.

This time, it was who interrupted her words. She had an anxious expression on her face and if she did not say anything now, there would be no chance for her.

"Madam, after all, Qingluo is a direct descendant under my name. The dowry that her mother left for her should first be placed in my hands. When she marries, I'll give it to her."

"At that time, I will also prepare another dowry for her. When put together, it will make it easier to manage. As the first wife, I will not lose any face."

Madame Zheng worked hard to organize her words, hoping to make them more acceptable. In this situation, she was afraid that she was wrong, and her plans for so many years had all gone down the drain.

"Why? You're losing face here. If that's the case, then when Qingluo marries, you should prepare more dowry for her. Then, wouldn't that be bringing back whatever face you have?"

"I've just said it before. I'll keep all of Qingluo's things for her from now on. What? Is my words useless?" Madam Zheng did not want to take on her challenge. No matter what you say, I will carry out my thoughts.

"Madam, I don't mean it that way. I have entrusted you with everything, but I have been idle all this time. This is not something that can be justified no matter where it goes."

"I'm in charge of the entire Zheng Mansion here, so it won't be difficult for me to manage the internal affairs of the mansion and take care of some dowry. You can leave it to me without worry."

The more she heard from Old Madam Zheng, the less benefits she had, her family would have to take care of it, and her dowry would be returned, so what else did she have, Madame Zheng was extremely regretful.

It would be better to just agree to the madame's request and have her divide the residence and settle the matter with that little bitch. That way, at least he would still have the benefit of having the rewards from Zheng Mansion in his hands.

Listening to Qiu's's words, Old Madam Zheng could not help but sneer in her heart. With such a small trick, it was not good enough to play tricks with her, her mouth would naturally not spare her.

"Just because you said so, I won't be worried?" Qiu Guifang, to be honest, I'm not so sure about this old body. I didn't want to care about it at first, but you two were the ones who let me care.

"Ming Rui, I already told you that your wife isn't someone you can carry around, but you don't believe it. Look at it now, all of this left and right is up to her alone. Then, what position do I have as your mother? I'm a bitter old woman …"

How could the Master Zheng not understand what Madam Zheng was saying? This was not motherly and filial, this was clearly a fight in the open or in the dark, but he did not know why. Towards the matters of the inner chamber, Zheng Mingrui was simply an idiot.

"Master, how can I let you worry so much? With me here, you have to let me enjoy my blessings." Seeing the look in Master Zheng's eyes, Madame Zheng's heart trembled. It seemed like today's test wouldn't be easy.

You idiot, with your mother in charge of the mansion, the silver would be left in the old woman's hands. Who knows who she was planning to give it to?
