Hong Mei opened her mouth, and after a long while, she finally asked shakily, "Why? Why does Maternal Auntie want the young lady to give all her dowry money to Madam?"
Hong Mei was a family-born servant, and she was very aware of the treatment of daughters born of concubines in the Lian Mansion. The dowry for a daughter born of a concubine usually amounted to three to four thousand taels. The Old Madam's additional dowry gifts were equivalent to a young lady's entire dowry; now Maternal Aunt Su was letting the young lady give her dowry to Madam, but what was this for?
Yuehuan revealed a bitter smile, "I don't know why either. After Maternal Auntie saw that I gave three thousand taels of silver to Madam, she asked me to give all my jewelry to Madam as well. I didn't agree." Yuehuan added this last sentence herself.
Hong Mei was full of doubts and uncertainty.
