Speaking of settlement, Liu Mingxi snorted disdainfully, but couldn’t help but feel secretly happy in her heart.

The Liu family has never treated her badly. The dowry was not that rich, but it also devoted all Liu Jianglong’s family background. Unfortunately, all of those things fell into the hands of Zhao Zhenglin.

He never gave a penny of betrothal gift back then, and he never bought anything for her. She did countless food and clothes for her to send someone to southern Xinjiang.

The marriage relationship in the Great Zhou Dynasty must follow the monogamy system, which is actually the system of monogamy and multiple concubines. Now that he has married another person, and she has no intention of joining Prince Cheng’s mansion as a concubine again, then they are completely over.

But the shop, jewelry and silver she was dowrying were still in his hands. The person has suffered a great loss, and even the dowry has fallen into his hands. How could she be willing to do so?

What’s more, she could only barely support herself for years and had no savings. If she returned to Minzhou, she would still have to worry about it.

In case she can’t find her family for a while and needs to live alone, she will have to have some money. As long as she has silver on her body, she can buy a small yard. Well, if she buys two more shops, she should be able to live without worries anywhere.

Putting aside those things, she has been poor for many years, and she really wants to get the dowry back. Since he took the initiative to calculate these old accounts clearly before going his separate ways, this was a great thing that she could not afford.

Liu Mingxi’s lips unconsciously raised, his agile eyebrows and eyes slightly bent, and his eyes were bright and bright like black jade. A little bright charm suddenly appeared on her white little face.

She said with a smile: “Since we have to calculate the accounts, let’s do it well and ask Your Highness to return my dowry as soon as possible. I can count on those who live. As you know, I don’t have much dowry, just a few shops on Yinzheng Street, plus ten thousand taels of silver at the bottom of the box.”

She thought for a while, in order to avoid the long night and dreams, she deliberately mentioned jewelry that didn’t mention dowry, and it all depends on his consciousness. As for the clothes and food she bought herself, she couldn’t tell the details, so she wouldn’t forget it.

Only with giving up can you gain something, Liu Mingxi thought happily.

Zhao Zhenglin stared at her delicate face, with willow eyebrows and snow-white skin, bright eyes and bright red lips opened and closed. His little woman was so beautiful and charming, but the words she spit out from her mouth made him feel a little puzzled.

When he came to his senses, he realized that she was really thinking about getting her dowry back.

His heart suddenly hurt, as if he was stabbed hard by something.

His eyes were slightly dark, and he said angrily, “An’s money for cosmetics in a month is more than 10,000 taels of silver.”

Not to mention the hairpin rings, dresses, calligraphy and paintings, books she needs to buy every month…The expenses are all starting from tens of thousands of taels.

His original intention was that if Liu Mingxi followed him, he would never treat her unfairly. At that time, even she herself would not look down on her pitifully small dowry.

But he suddenly thought that Liu Mingxi had married him for three years, but she had never touched the ten thousand taels of silver under the box. You know, he has never given her a tiny cent, nor what life she lived at that time.

In fact, he not only never gave money, but in those three years, he never even said a good word to her. No wonder she always looked trembling in front of herself at that time, but now her courage is getting fatter and fatter.

He suddenly remembered the drunken murmuring that day, “You are not my husband anymore, why am I still afraid?”

After leaving him, Liu Mingxi faintly regained the ostentatious momentum of the past. Perhaps for her, there is nothing to do in Prince Cheng’s Mansion that makes her reluctant to leave, so she wanted to leave without any nostalgia.

Even he couldn’t say what she got after she tried her best to marry into Prince Cheng’s Mansion. Isn’t she regretting it now? Thinking of this, Zhao Zhenglin suddenly felt mixed emotions.

Liu Mingxi didn’t notice his entanglement at all. She has always been a true person. Since he had already let him go, he really let him go. Even after hearing what he said, he didn’t think much about it, and he didn’t feel any injustice.

Because these are all facts, and they were facts that she had known for a long time, she nodded calmly and said in an extremely sincere tone: “That is because Your Highness is willing to be nice to her, so she spends the money for her. It will be different if others change.”

For example, she was the Princess Cheng for three years and was still a cow and horse for him, but she had never seen a single or two silver. Instead, he took the dowry away… Liu Mingxi tactfully swallowed all these despicable words back into his stomach.
