Seeing the princess like this, Consort Lin quickly advised, "Your Highness, please don't be angry. Our Yu'er is not the kind of person who is reluctant to give his daughter a dowry."

Now that he knows, he'll definitely handle it well.

The eldest princess was angry, and since only Consort Lin was around, she naturally directed her anger at him. "It's all your fault for spoiling him. You always talk about how smart the eldest son is."

If he were truly intelligent, wouldn't he know what kind of person his wife is? Or is he just like the Han family?

Do you think the family fortune should be left to your son, and you're just going to give your daughter a few things and call it a day?

Lin, the Imperial Son-in-Law, fell silent. He suddenly felt that what the Princess said made some sense. "Your Highness," he said, "our eldest son wouldn't really think that way, would he? Although Zhuo'er is a daughter, she's still our eldest son's own flesh and blood. He wouldn't be so heartless, would he?"

Upon hearing her husband's words, the eldest princess forgot her anger and looked at him solemnly, "You really doubt the eldest son?"

"Otherwise, given Lin Fengyu's cunning nature, how could he not know? When Ran'er got married before, Lin Fengyu saw Ran'er's dowry list."

"They can't all have married off their sisters and then not know how to marry off their daughters, can they?"

Although Lin Fuma spoke with a tone of doubt, he was practically condemning Lin Fengyu.

The eldest princess also strongly suspected that her eldest son, Lin Fengyu, was biased. "Are you getting more and more senile as you get older? Can marrying off a sister be the same as marrying off a daughter?"

"Whether he contributes more or less to his sister's wedding is up to his own taste, but when it comes to his daughter's wedding, he certainly can't give too little, unless he's willing to give the lion's share."

Lin Fengyu: Why don't you two ask me again? I'm really blind to what's going on in front of me. Who would suspect that a mother would withhold her daughter's dowry?

Lin Fuma silently decided in his heart that from now on, that brat Lin Fengyu would no longer be his favorite son. "Forget it, let's separate the eldest son's family! Out of sight, out of mind."

"Then you'd better think it over. If you separate the eldest son's family, there will only be that dissolute Lin Fengsong left in the manor." At this moment, the eldest princess felt that she still had too few sons and had no choice at all!

If it weren't for Lin Fengyu managing these affairs in the manor, relying on that dissolute second son would have exhausted her and Lin the Imperial Son-in-Law to death!

Lin, the Imperial Son-in-Law, slumped into his chair, recalling his second son's good-for-nothing behavior. "If only I hadn't let Ran'er marry, I would have just had her find a husband to come and live with us..."

"Come on! I can't stand your daughter who used to be obsessed with love and romance." The princess felt that her children were all a debt.

Lin, the imperial son-in-law, looked at the princess with pity. "We're really in a bad situation. We have both a son and a daughter, but neither of them is reliable."

The eldest princess couldn't help but feel annoyed at the way her husband looked at her. "Isn't he just like you?"

"Yes, like me, definitely like me. Your Highness is so wise and powerful, those troublesome brats couldn't possibly be like you."

On the surface, Lin Fuma felt he had taken on this responsibility, but in his heart, he secretly wondered if the children had been switched at birth.

Lin, the Imperial Son-in-Law, could only silently suspect that he was in the delivery room when the Princess gave birth, so there was no way the babies could have been switched. This was the most desperate thing.

After Lin Fengyu and Han Shi left the Princess's courtyard, Lin Fengyu went to Han Shi's courtyard first.

Han followed closely behind Lin Fengyu, her mind racing with thoughts of how to explain things to the Prince.

Lin Fengyu entered Han's room and sat down in the main seat. He then ordered Han's head maid, "Bring out your mistress's private treasury list for me to see."

The head maidservant beside Madam Han looked at Madam Han with difficulty, not daring to take it herself.

Seeing this, Lin Fengyu also looked at Han Shi without saying a word.

Han was actually quite afraid of Lin Fengyu, who had such a powerful aura, and knew that this matter definitely needed to be resolved tonight.

Madam Han could only nod to her personal maid, signaling her to go and get it.

Lin Fengyu obtained the list of Han's private funds and saw many items that he had given to Han to give to his daughter.

He rarely saw his daughter wearing the jewelry he had given her before, and he had even asked Mrs. Han about it. Mrs. Han said something like, "Zhuo'er doesn't like it, so it's normal that she doesn't wear it."

At this moment, Lin Fengyu felt that he and his younger sister were born of the same parents, like two insects born in spring.

Lin Fengyu tapped the list of items in the private vault with his finger. "Tell me! What's the deal with these things?"

Han immediately understood Lin Fengyu's meaning: "Zhuo'er has the support of her father and mother, and her aunt also dotes on her."

Zhuo'er doesn't lack these things, but Yu'er and Jiang'er do! I just want to save them for my two sons..."

"Yu'er and Jiang'er are boys, what would they need these jewelry for?"

Han thought it would be very useful!

"They are boys, so they don't need it. They will grow up eventually, and they will get married and have children. They can be given to wives and their daughters, or used to bribe officials..."

Lin Fengyu slammed the bill in his hand onto the table next to him. "Outrageous! You don't want to give these things to your own daughter, but you want to give them to someone else's daughter? Are you out of your mind?"

"Your Highness, you may not understand, but Zhuo'er truly has no shortage of these things. As a woman myself, I understand her; she just knows how to play tricks on you. Her valuable possessions are no less than those in my own private treasury."

Besides, how could she be someone else's daughter...?

Lin Fengyu stood up and slapped Han Shi across the face. "If it weren't for the fact that Zhuo'er is about to get married, I, the Prince, would have sent you back to your Han residence."

"I consider myself a man of considerable experience, but this is the first time I've ever heard someone speak of their daughter in such a way."

Han covered her face, also deeply hurt. This was the first time she had been hit in all the years since she married Lin Fengyu.

"You hit me? You hit me for Lin Jiangzhuo? All these years I have worked diligently to take care of the family for you, and even those illegitimate children in the backyard are living well."

I treat Zhuo'er well too. No other girl is as carefree as her. I am her biological mother, I only deducted a few things from her.

She's the older sister, so what's wrong with helping her two younger brothers?

Isn't that how it is in every household?

Why is it wrong when it comes to me?

"I don't care whether your Han family is like this or not, but my daughter was born noble. She and her brother can help each other, but you must never take the initiative to help your two sons leech off your daughter."

If my son has to suck the blood of his own sister to survive, I would rather they die right now.

This good-for-nothing is unworthy to be the son of this prince.

After Lin Fengyu finished speaking, he ignored Han Shi's reaction and directly ordered, "Put everything that I, the Prince, gave to Zhuo'er into the dowry list."

As for your own private coffers, you can give them to whichever stupid son you're willing to live on.

However, one item was missing from what I, the Prince, had given, so I went to inform my mother of the impending divorce.

Lin Fengyu looked at Han Shi seriously, "You know I always keep my word."
