After traveling through time, I married the prince by signing in

Chapter 228 It’s so wrong

When they returned to the Xin Mansion, Madam Xin received the message and immediately came out to greet them.

The eunuch smiled and said, "Madam Xin, I am here to serve you. Sorry to bother you."

Madam Xin glanced at Xin Fan and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, eunuch. I wonder what you are doing under the order of the emperor?"

The eunuch laughed and said, "We are asking for Rong's dowry back. It is not proper for a concubine to manage the dowry of a legitimate wife."

"So, Your Majesty has demoted Master Xin Er's official position as a punishment."

"Oh, by the way, let us take a look and see if the Xin family can't afford to raise a girl, so that Miss Xin San is so thin."

Madam Xin's expression froze, and she looked at Xin Rong, who had been standing beside her with her head down.

Before she could say anything, the eunuch said, "We are in a hurry, so we won't talk to Madam Xin any more. Goodbye."

"Miss Xin San, please lead the way. The imperial physician will be here soon to examine your mother."

"Yes, thank you, eunuch." Xin Rong bowed to Madam Xin and went to the courtyard of the second house with the eunuch.

Madam Xin looked at Master Xin angrily, "Uncle, what happened?"

She never cared about the affairs of the second house. After all, if she extended her hands to the second uncle's yard, she would have taken the wrong medicine and would have cared about her reputation.

Xin Fan said nothing and followed him to the South Courtyard.

In desperation, Madam Xin had to go along with him. She also had to explain why she couldn't afford to raise a legitimate daughter.

Xin Fan's favorite concubine, Lan, was drinking scented tea with Xin Qian in the yard at this time.

"Mom, Xin Rong won't escape, will she?"

"Don't worry, she can't escape. Even if she does, she's just a bastard that no one wants. Who can believe her?" Lan said with certainty, her face full of confidence.

"That's good. If dad knew about this... No, dad loves me so much, he won't blame me even if he knew." Xin Qian said happily.

"She is just a lowly creature. If she hadn't occupied the position of the legitimate daughter, how could I be a concubine's daughter? The only people I can befriend are concubines' daughters from other mansions."

"When I think of the way those legitimate daughters look down on me, I get so angry that I want to tear that bitch's face off."

Xin Fan was struck by lightning when he heard their conversation. It turned out that they were like this behind their backs.

The eunuch glanced at Xin Rong and said, "Miss Xin San, do you have your mother's dowry list?"

"Yes, please wait a moment, I'll get it." Xin Rong said and ran past the Lan mother and daughter.

Lan's hand holding the tea froze in mid-air. She looked in the direction of Xin Fan with panic in her eyes, then she restrained herself, stood up and saluted, "My husband is back. Wasn't he in court at this hour? How come he is leaving so soon?" After saying this, she walked over seductively.

Seeing the eunuch, she asked in surprise, "Husband, who is this?"

Xin Fan just looked at her with disbelief and disappointment on his face.

"Daddy, what's wrong with you? Are you tired? Come and sit down. Qian'er will pour you some tea so you can take a rest." Xin Qian helped him sit down on the stone bench.

The eunuch simply told them to ignore it.

Mrs. Xin, who came later, frowned when she saw this, "Second Uncle, is this how you treat guests?"

"Oh, the eldest lady is here, please take a seat." When Lan saw her, she immediately stood up.

Madam Xin ignored her. Even though Xin Fan doted on this concubine, she never gave her a good face. Why should she care about people of different classes?

But she couldn't stand all the time, so she walked to a chair nearby and sat down, "Father-in-law, please sit down and rest for a while."

The eunuch smiled and said, "No need, we can just stand."

Madam Xin thought about it and did not stand up again. She just glanced at the arrogant Xin Qian indifferently.

As the truth goes, foxes give birth to foxes, and no matter how good the family is, a bad seed cannot be raised into a good one.

Soon, Xin Rong came back with the dowry list and whispered, "Father-in-law, this is my mother's dowry list. Thank you for your help."

"Miss Xin San, you are too polite. We are just following orders." The eunuch took it with a smile and looked at Xin Fan and said, "Second Master Rong, please come in."

"Who are you? Why do you talk to my father like that?" Xin Qian glared and shouted.

Then she looked at Xin Rong. She was just wondering how this bitch got out. It turned out that she had hooked up with a eunuch.

"Third sister, I haven't seen you for a few days. How come you started to associate with a... eunuch?"

"Could it be that you can't stay at home any longer and have sex with this eunuch?"

When Mrs. Xin heard this, she immediately frowned. She was afraid that her second uncle's family would be ruined.

Don't raise such a thing and ruin the reputation of the Xin family.

The eunuch narrowed his eyes as he looked at her. "Second Master Xin is indeed good at educating his daughter. He is really knowledgeable and talented. We will report this matter to His Majesty truthfully."

"How dare you! Is that what your mother taught you?" Xin Fan glared at Xin Qian. Just from the conversation between mother and daughter just now, he knew how wrong he was.

He had always doted on them and given them everything he could, even if Lan made unreasonable requests, he did everything he could.

Just because he couldn't give her the status of legitimate wife, he kept thinking about compensating them, but he ended up fostering their ambitions.

Xin Fan scolded: "Why don't you kneel down?"

Xin Rong's face turned pale with fright after the eunuch spoke to His Majesty.

Xin Fan's scolding immediately weakened her legs and she fell to her knees, "Dad, I didn't mean it."

"Eunuch, please, please don't tell His Majesty. I have always been outspoken since I was a child."

The eunuch ignored her and looked at Lan, "Master Xin's concubine Lan."

Lan's face twitched and she looked at Xin Fan. She felt that something was wrong with him ever since he came back.

Even if he heard the conversation between her and her daughter, he shouldn't have said nothing. Even if he blamed her a few words, she would have acted coquettishly and made excuses.

When she saw him scolding Qianqian, she knew that her intuition was right.

It must be that little bitch Xin Rong who did something.

But how did she get involved with His Majesty and even let the eunuchs come out to support her?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glare at Xin Rong who was standing next to the eunuch. Lan gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, I am Lan."

The eunuch unfolded the dowry list in his hand and said, "We are here under the order of His Majesty to take back Rong's dowry. Please cooperate and hand it over. Otherwise, I don't need to explain the consequences in detail."

Lan's face turned pale and she looked at Xin Fan, "Husband, this..."

"Oh, what a good upbringing! A concubine actually calls the master husband. We have learned something new." The eunuch's words were like a knife stabbing Lan's heart.

Xin Fan brought the eunuchs to the storeroom, asked the nanny to open it, and said, "This is the Rong family's dowry storeroom. Please come in, eunuch."

The eunuchs didn't even need to go in. They just stood at the door and saw that it didn't match. "Second Master Xin, I'm afraid we've come to the wrong place."

"There are a total of 128 loads of dowry on the dowry list, with countless treasures, but there are only a few things in this storehouse."

Lan's face was pale. Madam Xin took one look at her and raised her brows.

She was jealous of Rong's dowry at the time. Those 128 loads were all real good stuff.
