Rebirth as Princess Jin again
Chapter 23 Taking back the dowry
Su Lian had been carefully cared for in Songhe Garden for several days, and her spirit had just recovered.
Early in the morning, the maid Qiu Ju hurriedly came in from the door and reported: "It's not good, Second Miss. The eldest Miss and her people are in the aunt's yard and have emptied the warehouse."
Su Lian, who was taking medicine, choked on the medicine in her throat and almost lost her breath. She got up from the bed weakly: "Quick... go and inform grandma."
Several maids helped her to rush to Aunt Liu's yard. As soon as she reached the door, she saw Su Ying directing the servants to move out the mahogany boxes one by one. Su Lian was leaning on Qiu Ju, her face was pale and her voice was hoarse. Then he said: "Sister, what are you doing?"
Su Ying sat on a mahogany chair, holding a list in her hand and said: "When Aunt Liu was in charge of Zhongfu, my mother's dowry was all placed in this yard. Now that Aunt Liu is gone, I will naturally come. Get back my mother’s dowry, these will belong to me and Yao’er from now on, and they cannot be placed in other people’s yards.”
Su Lian saw that the full warehouse was emptied in the blink of an eye, and she said unwillingly: "How can eldest sister handle the things in my courtyard at will? I need to ask my grandmother about this."
Su Ying didn't even raise her eyelids. The boxes were brought to her. Chunlan opened them and checked them one by one. Su Ying took a pen and circled the list. Soon the warehouse was emptied.
Chunlan glanced at the list and said, "Miss, there are some things here that are not in the warehouse."
Su Ying raised her eyes and glanced at the residence of Aunt Liu and Su Lian next to her and said, "Go and search in the room. If you find it, take it out."
Su Lian looked outside the yard eagerly, feeling very anxious.
Chunlan and her servants turned the room upside down. Not a single valuable thing was left, and only some tables and chairs were left in the room.
"Miss, I found everything, all I need is a set of ruby stone heads." Chunlan came over and reported.
Su Ying raised her eyes and glanced at Su Lian. What Su Lian was wearing happened to be the set of ruby stones. She was so weak from illness, but she still had the strength to wear such a gorgeous one. Su Ying looked at Su Lian coldly and said, "Sister. The crown on your head is my mother's dowry, sister, should you take it off yourself or should I have someone take it off for you?"
Su Lian caught a glimpse of the old lady outside, and immediately said with tears in her eyes: "What are you doing, eldest sister? Now that my aunt has gone to Sanqing Temple, will eldest sister still treat Lian'er like this?"
Su Ying just looked at her coldly, her eyes full of ridicule.
Su Lian's body suddenly went limp, and she collapsed to the ground, her eyes dull, and she murmured: "Eldest sister has emptied this house, how will my sister survive in the future?"
The old lady stood outside the yard and said with anger in her voice: "What are you doing? Is there any family law left in this family?"
Su Ying blessed her in a polite manner: "Grandma, Ying'er is here today to take away my mother's dowry."
The old lady glanced at the empty yard and said, "Where can I put this dowry? Do I have to move it to your yard?"
Su Ying smiled slightly: "Grandma's words made my granddaughter a little confused. Naturally, my mother's dowry will be placed in my yard."
The old lady looked a little ugly and said: "In this case, Lian'er is also from the big house, so divide the dowry into three parts. You carry your share and Yao'er's share to your yard, Lian'er's share The portion is still in her yard."
Su Lian's eyes flashed with surprise. Sure enough, there was a grandmother in this family who loved her. She raised the corner of her mouth slightly and looked at Su Ying provocatively.
Su Ying's smile froze on her face, and she snorted coldly: "Xia Zhaoguo's law stipulates that the dowry that a woman brings into her husband's family before she gets married will be inherited by her children after her death. If she has no children, the dowry must be returned to her natal family. My mother only has two children, me and Yao'er, and Su Lian was not born to my mother, so what qualifications does she have to inherit my mother's dowry?"
The old lady didn't expect that Su Ying could openly refute her words now, and her face was as colorful as if she had knocked over a dye tray.
"Ying'er, it's not your turn to make the decision in this family." The old lady's clear voice sounded, and everyone in the yard did not dare to express her anger. The old lady always bowed to Buddha and was kind to the servants. This was the first time she said such a thing. Big temper.
Su Ying's eyes were unafraid, she pointed at Su Lian and told Chunlan and Xia Yu: "Take off her head and face for me. Even if I drop my mother's things, they will not fall into other people's hands."
The old lady winked at Aunt Zhu who was beside her. Aunt Zhu and a few women around her were about to step forward to deal with Chunlan and Xia Yu. The corners of Su Ying's mouth slightly raised, and she flicked a finger. The tiny silver needle flew out of her hand and stabbed directly into the hollow of Nanny Zhu's knee. Nanny Zhu staggered and threw herself out, knocking all the nannies to the ground.
Upon seeing this, Chunlan hurried to help the people, took the opportunity to take back the silver needle, and stabbed the nuns with the needle, causing the old women to scream in pain.
Xia Yu here, with quick eyes and hands, pulled out the jewelry on Su Lian's head one by one. Su Lian's head was no longer fixed by the hairpin ring, her hair was scattered, and she was in a miserable state.
The old lady was so angry that she beat her chest. She picked up her crutch and banged the ground a few times and said, "I've rebelled against you. I'm not dead yet. Does anyone care about me, an old woman?"
Su Ying walked up to the old lady and said with a blessed smile: "Grandma, you are the elder in the family and you are always the most fair in dealing with things. If you feel that your granddaughter has done something wrong, why don't we invite someone from the government to come over and comment? If the government officials think that Su Lian can get a share of my mother's dowry, Su Ying will not hesitate and will act in accordance with the law."
The old lady's face darkened: "It's just a small matter at home, so there's no need to bring it to the government. The prime minister can't afford to embarrass this person."
Su Ying tilted her head and said, "In that case, granddaughter won't disturb grandma anymore. Granddaughter hasn't touched anything else in the yard."
Su Ying led a group of people out of the yard in a big way. The old lady ordered someone to help Su Lian up from the ground. Su Lian looked at the old lady with tears in her eyes and said: "Grandma, my granddaughter has nothing now. Grandma can't ignore her granddaughter. "
The old lady sighed: "It's okay, there is still grandma. Grandma will pay you the dowry when you get married."
A flash of light flashed in Su Lian's eyes. Aunt Liu was a concubine in her mother's family, and she was pregnant before marriage. There was no dowry at all when she entered the house. There has been nothing left for so many years. If she gets married, she will definitely have no dowry. You will also be looked down upon.
As soon as Su Quan returned to the mansion after going to court, the housekeeper informed him of today's events.
"Master, do you need to go and comfort the old lady?" the housekeeper asked beside her, bending down.
"No need. Now that Ying'er has grown up, her mother's things should be taken care of by her. You can help Ying'er with whatever she wants to do in the future. If anyone in this mansion embarrasses her, let the secret guards in the mansion handle it. ." Su Quan's eyes darkened slightly and his voice was loud. The secret guards lurking nearby could hear clearly.
