After the zombies traveled through time, they were tricked by the villain into becoming a stepmother

"How dare you come to my Yang family to cause trouble? Didn't you ask before you came here which family my mother's family belongs to in Beijing?"

Seeing the guards and servants being beaten up, the women of the Yang family who followed them all hid behind the old lady with panic on their faces.

Just now, I heard a servant in the inner courtyard report that the county lieutenant had led people to the door to cause trouble. But at that time, I didn't hear that my family had suffered such a big loss!

I don't know why the old lady called them to the outer courtyard? They are just weak women in the boudoir, how can they watch such a brutal scene?

The eyes of the concubines all flickered, each with their own thoughts.

The old lady of the Yang family was obviously someone who had seen a lot of things. Even though there was worry in her eyes, she still spoke harshly and angrily.

"If you know what's best for you, leave immediately! Otherwise, when my son comes back, he will file a complaint against you in front of the prefect!"

Chen Lingfang sneered.

That guy Yang Youde looks just like this old woman surnamed Wu. Not only do they look alike, but they are also the same in terms of arrogance and arrogance, which makes people feel itchy when they see him.

Chu Chi remembered An An's teachings for things he didn't understand, and kept quiet and didn't make trouble. Shen Mufeng didn't bother to pay attention, but he was a person who liked to be serious.

"Old Madam Yang, there is really no need to bring up your brother to scare people. My Annan Marquisate would not even take a mere doctor from the Ministry of Rites seriously."

When it comes to how to use power to bully others, Chen Lingfang, who comes from a noble family, is much more pretentious than these so-called upright people.

Old Mrs. Wu was so angry that she was humiliated by a junior. For so many years, her family had always been the one who had the final say in Lingqiu County, but they had been spoiled and didn't know how high the sky was and how deep the earth was.

"How dare you bring up a ruined marquis's mansion to scare an old woman like me? Although my family is not prominent, my niece is the concubine of Prince Kang and has two grandchildren! How dare you touch Concubine Wu's biological aunt?"

"Well, I dare."

Chen Lingfang nodded seriously, winked at his men and shouted.

"What a bunch of fools, they drag their feet on their errands! Hurry up and bring all the evidence of Yang Youde's corruption and bribery back to the county government. The magistrate is waiting to convict him!"

Drink~~

This clear statement is meant to directly prove the guilt!

Old Mrs. Wu was so angry that her feet staggered. If the maid beside her had not supported her in time, she would have almost fallen to the ground.

"Don't make false accusations, little Chen! These valuables are clearly the property passed down by our Yang family ancestors. There is absolutely no corruption or bribery involved!"

"Oh, old lady of the Yang family, I don't want to make things difficult for you for the time being because I think you are getting old. But if you insist on being so unreasonable, then it will be meaningless.

Return the family business passed down by your Yang family to you?"

He reached out and flipped through the boxes closest to him, his smile not reaching his eyes.

"As far as I know, the Yang family's ancestors for eight generations were all peasants.

It was only after your late husband passed the imperial examination and became a fellow Jinshi, and relied on his good looks to marry into your Wu family, that he was able to become wealthy.

Unfortunately, he was unlucky and had a short life. He died in office less than two years after entering the officialdom.

Then tell me carefully which ancestor of the Yang family passed down these gold, silver and jewelry to your son? It is obvious that he was the magistrate of Lingqiu County for many years, raising bandits and accepting bribes, and accumulated this so-called family fortune!"

There was panic in Old Mrs. Wu's eyes, but she was still trying to hold it together, making sweet and convincing excuses.

"I misremembered it just now. Some of these things were handed down from the ancestors of the Yang family, but most of them were dowries for me and my daughter-in-law. After all, I was born in an official family in the capital, so it is reasonable for me to have some dowry, right?"

"Yes, that's right. It makes sense that you have a dowry.

But after Yang Youde's first wife, Li, died, wasn't her dowry taken back by her parents? I heard that it was quite a sensation at the time. Although I hadn't come here to take office at that time, I also heard about it later.

What? Did your son take away his deceased wife's dowry? He is such a mean person, he wants to take advantage of the dead. Tsk tsk tsk..."

No matter how bad you are, you are not as bad-mouthed as a young man from a marquisate or an official in the imperial court. But you are as bad-mouthed as a woman guarding the corner gate of another family. No wonder he could have dealings with Chu Zongyuan, it really is true that birds of a feather flock together.

Shen Mufeng wanted to remind him to stop talking nonsense and quickly pick up his things and go home. But when he looked down, he saw someone staring at him with those beautiful eyes, listening with great interest.

He just kept quiet.

"The rest is Zhou's dowry!"

Old Mrs. Wu was forced into speechlessness and no longer cared about how much she hated the charming woman. She was now thinking about quickly removing the charge of corruption and bribery from her son.

"It's embarrassing to say this, but the woman my son married again is really wealthy, even though she's a second wife. She brought a lot of dowry from her parents' home, which barely fills the storehouse of our Yang family. Every word I say is..."

Before she could finish her excuse, a petite figure rushed in front of her, scaring the old woman so much that she took several steps back.

"Thursday, isn't it Zhou Yuhe?"

Chu Chi's eyes were shining. Although she was not sure who Zhou Si was, what if? What if Zhou Yuhe was happy to have a nickname? Just like Shen Mufeng, who was also called Shen Xiaowu!

Her tone was filled with cautious desire.

"That's her nickname, right?"

"You, who are you?"

After looking at the other person in surprise and suspicion for a few times, Old Mrs. Wu was sure that she had never seen this person before.

"I'm Chu Chi. Can you tell me, is Zhou Si the nickname of Zhou Yuhe? Are these things her dowry? They are all the property she cheated from the old Lin family, right?"

Her eyes were full of hope and sparkling with sparkling colors.

Could this be someone from the Lin family?

Seeing that the young man from the Chen family showed obvious respect for the woman, Old Mrs. Wu couldn't help but secretly speculate about her identity.

Family members know their own affairs. The old woman has actually heard a lot of rumors about how Zhou's dowry came from. Although the woman is extremely unpleasant, the wealth she brought with her is still very pleasing!

After reacting instantly, she quickly changed her words.

"No, no, no, only a small part of this is her dowry. Most of it is my dowry!"
