See you in court?

When the housekeeper heard these four fluttering words, his heart trembled and he looked at her in disbelief.

He had never heard of a child suing his parents. This was an unfilial act. Even if the parents were wrong in every possible way, it shouldn't be done like this. Is the eldest girl really going to go all out to be such an unfilial daughter?

After a moment, the housekeeper murmured: "Miss, my uncle and his wife are your parents after all."

Meng Jinyao looked coldly and corrected: "Meng Dongyuan is my father, but Sun is not my mother. My mother's surname is Zhou, not Sun."

A stepmother is also a mother.

The housekeeper did not dare to say these words. As the eldest daughter, the treatment in the Yongchang uncle's house was not as good as that of the second young master. The second young master was still somewhat liked by his uncle and the old lady, but the eldest girl was not. It's no wonder that the older girl would be so heartless when she was hated and treated harshly by her elders.

"There is nothing else for now. Let them carry everything to Wei Ruixuan." After Meng Jinyao said that, she ordered Ningdong, "Ningdong, you lead the way for them."

Ningdong responded: "Yes, madam."

Meng Jinyao's commotion was so loud that it naturally alarmed the first and second bedrooms. Her unusual behavior really made them dumbfounded. They didn't know whether to call her stupid or too young. , prone to act impulsively.

Doesn't doing this mean to openly tell your husband's family that if you have a natal family, you don't have a natal family? Without the support of your natal family, you can bully them at will? No matter how bad the mother's family is, they still have to look good in front of the husband's family, otherwise they will be looked down upon.

Not only the first and second bedrooms, but also the reclusive Mrs. Gu heard the news.

Inside Shou'an Hall.

Mrs. Gu gently twirled the rosary beads in her hand and sighed softly: "A Yao is suffering because she has such a father and stepmother."

Aunt Feng also lamented: "What Madam did, she has completely offended her mother's family. For a weak woman, who dares to block her last escape route until she has no choice?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Gu thought of her daughter-in-law's calm and bold appearance on her wedding day, and a look of admiration appeared on her face: "There are many stepmothers who have embezzled dowry from their stepdaughter's mother, but there are very few girls who are as brave as her. , with such a temperament, she can shoulder the responsibilities of a clan wife."

Aunt Feng nodded in agreement and said, "Old madam, I heard that the Marquis and Madam came back together yesterday. I guess the Marquis also went to Yongchang's Mansion yesterday."

Mrs. Gu was very surprised, and immediately smiled happily: "It seems that he listened to what I said."

Aunt Feng said with a smile: "Master Hou always listens to your words."

Mrs. Gu snorted angrily: "If he had listened to me, he wouldn't have gotten married now. This was Xiu Ming's escape from marriage. A Yao specified that she wanted to marry him, so he missed it."

Aunt Feng comforted her with a gentle voice: "It was fate before, but this year, fate has arrived." After saying that, she picked up the teapot and thoughtfully refilled the tea for Mrs. Gu.

This sentence can be said to speak to Mrs. Gu's heart. She believes in Buddhism, so she believes in fate. Everything depends on the word "fate". What you get is fate, and what you lose is fate, and you can't force it.

-

Yongchang Bofu, Rongfu Hall.

The steward returned to Yongchang Bo's Mansion, told his masters what happened in Changxing Marquis' Mansion, and tremblingly handed over the list with the missing items.

Meng Dongyuan took the list and glanced at it. He was so angry that he slapped the table hard, and the list was slapped on the table to vent his anger. He yelled angrily: "Evil!"

Not only him, but also Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Meng were so angry that their faces turned blue and white.

Who would have thought that Meng Jinyao would be so ruthless as to open the box for inspection in the Changxing Marquis Mansion in front of the servants of the Gu family, step on the Meng family's face and rub it violently and wantonly?

It would be fine if there were no flaws, but there were. This invisible slap in the face made the elders of the Meng family hurt.

Mrs. Meng was so angry that her blood surged and her face turned red. She took a few deep breaths before she calmed down. She waved her hand and signaled the housekeeper and maids to step back. She gritted her weak teeth and said bitterly: "I would have known that this would happen." Sangmenxing will harm the entire Meng family, she shouldn't have been given the chance to grow up in the first place, and she has to harm the whole family for such a small thing."

Mrs. Sun burst into tears and her voice choked with sobs: "Mother, what should I do now?"

She was really scared at this moment, and the unprecedented panic was about to swallow her up.

After this incident, she will be criticized when she goes out in the future. Even if she doesn't go out, the servants at home will despise her in their hearts. Chengxing is a man, and if he works hard to gain fame, he will have a chance to turn around.

And her Ayu has reached the age of proposing marriage, so he will be affected by her. If the marriage does not go well, he can only marry lowly. It is impossible to marry well, and don't even dream of marrying high.

Mrs. Meng was already irritable, but she became even more irritable when she heard her cry. She scolded with a straight face: "Why are you crying? You said that as an elder, how come you can't even take care of a yellow-haired girl, and how can you still suffer at the hands of her? The whole family suffers at the hands of her. I have to be embarrassed by you."

Mrs. Sun wiped her tears and said aggrievedly: "My daughter-in-law didn't expect that she still had a copy of Zhou's dowry list in her hand."

"You still have the nerve to feel aggrieved?" Mrs. Meng glanced at her angrily, accusing her even more, "No matter whether she has the dowry list in her hand or not, you should make two copies when doing the accounting, and do it well. Are you ready?"

Mrs. Sun sobbed softly, not daring to talk back. She just said: "Mom, it's just a matter of converting the items into silver. She actually wants to count the profits of the village and the shop. Most of the money has been spent. Our family has to spend this money." It is not easy to make a large amount of money. The husband has to socialize, Ayu will leave the court in two years, and the dowry must be prepared so as not to be looked down upon by the husband's family. "

Hearing this, Mrs. Meng's expression turned terrifyingly gloomy. Who could be willing to hand over such a large sum of money like this? But that dead girl still has to go to the government, which is already embarrassing enough, but it is even more embarrassing to go to the government.

She glanced at Mr. Sun, who was lowering his head and wiping his eyes, and immediately had an idea, and said, "Don't you have a dowry? You can make up for it with discounted silver. Although it can't be completely filled up, if it's not enough, you can borrow money from the house."

Mrs. Sun raised her head in shock: "My, my dowry?"

Meng Dongyuan also thought this was a good idea and echoed: "Madam, you know the situation in the house. I need to socialize outside and have three unmarried children. The dowry and betrothal gift are a big expense, so you should spend them first. Your dowry will be put away first, and I will replenish it for you when your children have success in the future."

When Mrs. Sun heard this, she felt thunder rolling from the sky. The dowry was a woman's private money, which even the husband could not touch. Now her husband's family actually asked her to take out the dowry and convert it into cash to fill the hole?

She was responsible for taking care of the rich dowry left by the Zhou family back then, but the money earned from those villages and shops was not just used for her. Her husband was out there to save face and spend a lot of money, and her mother-in-law was used to using good things. , everything should be used well.

Even some valuable vases and jades were given by her husband as gifts. How come she had to bear them all in the end?
