Chapter 1546 - 344, Nonsense or Idle Chats (Third Watch of the Night)
Seeing Xia Hen scolded like this in front of the juniors and Lady Liu, Princess Anle was also enraged, but then again, it was justified. As an elder, not only did he fail to give his nephew a gift, but he actually went as far as to steal someone’s bride price. It was truly infuriating.
Xia Hen and Princess Anle grew up together as childhood companions. Later, when she became his cleaner, Xia Hen felt even more reverence for her. Scolded like this, Xia Hen immediately wilted.
Lady Liu was an outsider and it was inappropriate for her to interject, but watching Princess Anle chastise her younger brother-in-law like this, she also felt embarrassed, incessantly shooting looks at Xia Zheng.
But Xia Zheng, the rascal, pretended not to see or if he saw, then pretended to be stupid, which infuriated Lady Liu so much her nose was almost crooked.
Lin Yuan laughed awkwardly while quietly consoling Lady Liu and rolled her eyes at Xia Zheng.
Princess Anle, livid, took a while to calm down before asking him, "Have you been out drinking theftily again and got caught? Did you use those things to settle your debts?"
As soon as she said it, Princess Anle realized something was off. The items missing from the storeroom weren’t just Xia Zheng’s bride price, but a few other things as well.
Except for the few valuable bride price items, the rest of the things were of little interest to any slightly well-to-do family.
