"How could I deceive you on such matters? Sister Yang, you must trust me." Yao Yao said, "I and Sister Anle are both daughters of the Emperor, our father favors her and ignores me, but that doesn't mean the Grand Empress Dowager will do the same."
"So... what exactly are you trying to say?"
"Thus, to take care of me, the Grand Empress Dowager has temporarily entrusted your dowry to me for safekeeping and even said if you don't behave and act properly, this dowry will be mine." Yao Yao continued, "Not only that, but in a couple of days, the Grand Empress Dowager will also have someone bring me the key to the treasury where your dowry is stored."
This explanation seemed reasonable, with no apparent issues.
The Empress Dowager was a person of deep affection. She treated Jun Yang, the daughter of Prince Xiao Yao's adopted son, so well, naturally, she wouldn't treat her own son's daughter any less favorably.
