Two days before Jingzhe and Lu Zhaozhao went to Shengjing, Lu Zhaozhao handed over the remaining dowry list to Tong Huaqiong, asking her to manage it.
This level of trust is truly rare.
Initially, Tong Huaqiong planned to transport this batch of dowry to the provincial city.
But she worried that it might draw too much attention and could be robbed on the way, leading to more loss than gain.
It was Mrs. Hong who reminded Tong Huaqiong.
She said that in the past, many noble families and officials in Shengjing were confiscated, and the pardoned women and children struggled when they returned to their hometowns due to the lack of property. But some foresighted families would register part of their assets as sacrificial land, so even if the family declined, the women and children could still live steadily when they returned to their hometowns.
