At this moment, Fang Yueru vaguely felt that all this was a trap arranged by Yu Wenting, just waiting for her to jump in.

Otherwise, why would she be so proud, as if everything was under her control.

"These are all your plans, right? From the time you handed the dowry to me for safekeeping, is this all your conspiracy? Although I don't know how you did it, it can't be a coincidence."

Yu Wenting sneered, "Mother, are you sincere in what you said? All the initiative is in your hands, what can I do? You don't want to pay because you have too much money, so you blame it all. On my head?"

It was naturally impossible for Yu Wenting to admit it, and Fang Yueru couldn't find any flaws in her anyway.

After hearing this, Fang Yueru became anxious, "This has nothing to do with me at all. It is impossible for me to compensate you. I just said that I would compensate you just to give you face, but I didn't expect you to say like a lion, I won't do this." He was taken advantage of."

Fang Yueru was actually being stubborn, she simply couldn't afford to pay the five hundred taels of silver.

To put it bluntly, even if she had it, she wouldn't be able to part with it.

Anyway, she had never touched Yu Wenting's dowry, so she didn't believe that Yu Wenting could do anything to her.

Yu Wenting had actually expected this result. She had five hundred taels of silver, let alone Fang Yueru, who didn't have it. Even if she did have it, with her stinginess, she wouldn't be able to give it to her.

But it doesn't matter, Yu Wenting has prepared her next move, and Fang Yueru will have to pay a heavy price this time no matter what.

Yu Wenting raised her lips and smiled, "Mother, it doesn't matter if you don't give it. I will always find a way to make you submit. I have already given you the opportunity. If you don't seize it now, don't blame me for not saving your face."

After leaving these words, Yu Wenting left with a smile.

Fang Yueru was left alone to savor Yu Wenting's words, and a bad premonition instantly filled her body.

With yesterday's foreshadowing, Yu Wenting no longer needs to act today. Lin Yingchang cried to him as soon as he came back.

When Lin Yingchang saw that his daughter-in-law was crying more sadly than yesterday, he immediately asked with concern: "Madam, what's wrong with you? Who is bullying you again?"

Lin Yingchang was a little strange. He had made such a decisive decision to his mother yesterday. She should not cause trouble to his wife again.

Then besides her mother, who else would bully her?

Yu Wenting threw herself into Lin Yingchang's arms and felt aggrieved for a long time. "Who else could it be but my mother? She's really gone too far this time. I really can't stand it anymore."

Lin Yingchang felt heartbroken when he saw his wife crying so hard that he quickly held her in his arms, patted her back constantly and comforted her softly.

"Madam, what's going on? Didn't I make it clear to my mother yesterday? Why is she still causing trouble for you? Don't worry, tell me slowly."

Yu Wenting sobbed for a while, then slowly calmed down, and said slowly: "Here's the thing, wasn't my dowry given to my mother for safekeeping before? You said so decisively yesterday, I thought about it and thought it would be too much trouble for my mother." It’s not good, so I just want to take the dowry back and keep it myself.”

"What, mother, doesn't she agree?"

Yu Wenting shook her head and continued: "No, what my mother promised was quite pleasant, but I asked Meng Lan and Mengru to check it, but they found that there were a few precious items missing from my dowry. At that time, the dowry was put into storage. When we bought the house, Aunt Wen had someone do the counting. There would be no problem with the list she wrote in her own hand. Now that there are less things, it must have been taken by my mother. I trusted my mother in the beginning and gave her the dowry for safekeeping. , I didn’t expect that she would covet my dowry.”

Lin Yingchang thought for a moment after listening, but found a small loophole.

"Madam, I have a question. If it was really my mother who took it, why would she ask you to take people to count it? Wouldn't your people have discovered it as soon as they checked?"

Yu Wenting was stunned when she heard this. Lin Yingchang is a smart man and has a more careful mind, so he is not so easily fooled.

Yu Wenting is also a quick-response person and quickly thought of countermeasures.

Yu Wenting said aggrievedly: "What did my mother give me? She only asked Aunt Wen to hand over the key to the small warehouse to me at first. She obviously wanted to get away with it. I saw that she was so eager to hand it back to me, and I became suspicious. , asked to send someone to count. I have said so, if she stops me, she will have a guilty conscience, so she has to agree. "

Lin Yingchang nodded when he heard this, "So that's the case, but mother is too stupid to do this. She will be discovered sooner or later if she takes your things. Besides, these things are not valuable enough for mother to take such a risk, right?" She covets her daughter-in-law's dowry, if word gets out about her, how can she have the face to show off to others?"

Yu Wenting snorted in her heart. It seemed that her husband didn't know his mother well enough. She did not take it this time, but she had really coveted her dowry before.

If she hadn't taken the initiative to hand over the dowry to Fang Yueru through a dangerous move, how could she have kept the dowry.

What she was doing now was just tit for tat, leaving Fang Yueru with a loss.

"Husband, although I don't want to speculate on my mother like this, she did take a desperate risk this time. I guess she took those things and sold them, and then put some fake ones in them, so that even if she doesn't examine them carefully, she might not be able to tell. You can get it without anyone noticing. It’s just that after she took the thing away, she didn’t have time to replace it with a fake one. I went there suddenly today and was caught.”

After Lin Yingchang listened carefully to Yu Wenting's analysis, he felt that her words were reasonable.

"If it is true as Madam said, then Mother has indeed gone too far."

Yu Wenting nodded and added another dose of strong medicine, "Yes, fortunately, none of the few things were given by the Holy Emperor, otherwise our entire Hou Mansion would be guilty."

This was the first time that Lin Yingchang heard that Yu Wenting's dowry contained something gifted by the Holy Emperor. After hearing Yu Wenting's words, he felt a little scared.

"According to what you said, if my mother really did this, something big would have happened."

Yu Wenting sighed softly, "Yes, we have escaped a disaster now. However, the missing things are also valuable. My father found someone to specially build them. My mother promised to compensate me for the money at first. But as soon as she heard that she had to pay 500 taels, she regretted it and said it was not her fault."

Lin Yingchang was a little surprised when he heard that it cost 500 taels. "Madam, are these things worth 500 taels?"

Yu Wenting nodded, "I have already considered my mother's situation and asked for less. The original value of these things is even higher."

When Lin Yingchang heard this, he patted Yu Wenting's hand and said, "Madam, it's really hard for you. You still think about your mother in every way."
