Instead of saying they were accusing Marquis Shengping Mansion, it seemed more accurate to say they were pointing the finger at Xiao'er.
Xiao'er had always had a good reputation. The people around the two gossips found their accusations astonishing, "That can't be! Doesn't the Shengping Mansion own many profitable businesses, like beauty salons, supermarkets, restaurants... and so forth. Why would they covet their daughter-in-law's dowry?"
"You wouldn't know. Have you seen the dowry of the Princess of Rui'an County during her marriage? To get her married to Prince Rui, the entire Shengping Marquis family gave their family wealth to her as dowry. They are no longer wealthy!" Princess Ling'er spoke as if she was privy to inside information.
"That's impossible!" The others still had some doubts.
