12 12. The plan to collect her inheritence dowry. (1/2)
After enjoying the breakfast provided at the dining table, Yu Fengyao told the waiter to clean the dining table and ask for tea to be served. He enjoyed the tea his Imperial brother had given him from the royal tribute. This tea can be enjoyed by his Imperial brother only. But, because the Emperor knew he liked good tea, Yu Fengyan gave him a lot of tea.
”Wangye, you must leave for the Palace immediately for the morning court, or you will be late.”
Seeing that Wangye looked so relaxed when he had to go to morning court, Butler Chen was forced to remind the prince. Although he was pleased to see that Wangye was deliberately lingering at Wangfei's residence, Butler Chen could not let Wangye get bad reviews from the ministers. Wangye recently returned to Capital city, he must maintain his good name.
”Yes, this Wangye knows.”
Yu Fengyao got up and intended to go to work to attend the morning court. But, before he walked some distance, Su Qingyi called him back. Turning and staring at his wife, Yu Fengyao waited for his wife who looked more attractive than before to speak.
”Wangye, can this Wangfei ask permission to go out of Wangfu?”
”What for?”
”This Wangfei wants to see the shops this wife brought as a dowry.”
Yu Fengyao knew that Su Qingyi had several shops with large income for her dowry when he married her. But, as far as Yu Wang knew, the profits from the shops must have been in the pockets of the greedy people in the Su family.
The shops owned by Su Qingyi are part of very large income stores. The Su family would not want to give up the profits from the shops back to Su Qingyi. They will surely give many problems to his wife later. Yu Fengyao must provide some guards to follow his wife.
”Alright, this Wangye gave you permission to check the shops, but Wangfei must bring the bodyguards this prince gave you for some protection.”
Su Qingyi smiled sweetly at him because she heard that he had several guards to protect her. Su Qingyi was suspicious that Wangye was worried about her safety.
This young lady was also a bit worried at the thought of taking over her mother's shops which had now become her dowry. She knew how many greedy people in the Su family. They have been taking overall profits from the shops since her mother died. There was never a penny of money distributed to her from the profits of the shops. Su Qingyi could guess where the profits of the shops had flowed.
With help from her husband; Yu Wang, Su Qingyi has strong support from her husband who is one of the men who has power over the Su family. They will be easier to be intimidated using their husband's name later. Thinking about that possibility, made Su Qingyi feel happy.
”This Wangfei is grateful for Wangye's care.”
After saying all that and having Butler Chen prepare several bodyguards with sufficiently high martial arts abilities for his wife, Yu Fengyao went to attend the morning court at the Palace.
