The affectionate prime minister’s short-lived first wife (twenty-five)

"Old madam, it's not good. The maids of the Liu family are clamoring for our house to give out the dowry for the second mistress..."

As soon as Lin Yuqiu opened her mouth, she was interrupted by a woman who hurried over.

After Mrs. Jiang heard what the other party said, her expression suddenly changed, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on her face: "Dowry? What kind of dowry?"

Mrs. Jiang heard that the Liu family was sending Liuli back to the Jiang family, and she hurried over for fear that Liuli would be poisoned by Lin Yuqiu. She didn't know that someone from the Liu family was here to collect Liu Lanqing's dowry.

Now when I hear it, I can't help but feel guilty: Others don't know it, but she, the head of the Jiang family, doesn't know it either?

The Jiang family has been slowly declining since the last few generations, and the money in the treasury has long been depleted. When he got married, he began to spend his own dowry. Later, after marrying Yu Changjie, he naturally used the other party's dowry to support him.

Jiang family’s expenses.

Later, when Liu Lanqing came in, Mrs. Jiang naturally took advantage of the Jiang family's fine tradition of spending money on her daughter-in-law's dowry. She moved Liu Lanqing's dowry to the public warehouse and started squandering it.

Although the Jiang family's shop has made some money over the years thanks to Jiang Yi's rising status, it is a drop in the bucket compared to Liu Lanqing's dowry.

Therefore, when she heard that the Liu family was coming to collect the dowry, Mrs. Jiang was naturally extremely anxious. At that moment, she hurried towards the warehouse with her mother-in-law beside her.

"No way, no way. My young lady has already reconciled with your second son, and your Jiang family still wants to hold on to the Liu family's dowry?"

After packing up Liu Lanqing's things in the courtyard of Jiang Mansion, Shaoyao called the dowry maids and women in the courtyard, and together they went to Jiang Mansion's warehouse to prepare to move the original dowry.

When Mrs. Jiang arrived, she happened to see the powerful woman next to her trying hard to stop Shaoyao, and the latter also tried desperately to rush into the warehouse.

At this moment, looking at the locked warehouse door, Shaoyao had only one belief in her heart: to rush in and snatch back the lady's dowry.

The head can be broken, the blood can be shed, but our lady’s dowry cannot be kept.

Whenever he thinks about his young lady's dowry being cheapened by Jiang Mansion, Shaoyao feels as sick and uncomfortable as if she had eaten a cockroach.

Stimulated by the momentum of the peony, the servants of the Liu Mansion also sprinted forward with all their strength, almost trying to knock the warehouse door open.

"What?"

Looking at the posture in front of her, Mrs. Jiang's heart froze, fearing that the other party would really knock the door open. Then, facing the empty warehouse, wouldn't the Jiang family's misappropriation of the daughter-in-law's dowry be exposed?

When the time comes, Jiang Mansion's century-old reputation will be ruined, and a hundred years from now, won't I become a sinner?

"How can something as important as a dowry be left to one of your servants to take it back?"

After all, Mrs. Jiang was so cunning. In just a moment, Mrs. Jiang came up with an excuse and scolded Shaoyao and the others: "My Jiang family is clean after all, and I'm not the kind of family that swallows up my daughter-in-law's dowry. It's just that I don't trust that kind of family."

A dowry is placed in the hands of servants like you."

"If you slaves really deceived the master and ran away after taking the Liu family's dowry, then when the Liu family came to us to ask for their daughter's dowry, who should we ask to reason?"

When Shaoyao heard this, she was almost angry and vomited blood: This is indeed Jiang Yi's grandmother, just as shameless and shameless.

It's obviously her fault, but she can still make some sense.

"We hold in our hands the dowry list that the Liu family has registered in the Yamen, and our personal deeds are also with the Liu family. How can we run away?"

As soon as Mrs. Jiang finished speaking, Shaoyao replied angrily: "You are trying to obstruct me in every possible way, and you still say you don't want to embezzle my lady's dowry?"

"Ouch……"

Mrs. Jiang was not annoyed when being questioned by a maid. She smiled and pretended to be kind: "Girl Shaoyao, your words really hurt my old lady's heart. As for our Jiang family, are we going to embezzle the dowry of our grandson's wife?"

"We really can't hand over such a large dowry to you servants. You go and call your master, and I will let Aunt Zheng open the warehouse door."

Look at that kind look, if my young lady hadn't suffered a lot at the hands of the other party, this Shaoyao would have believed the other party's words.

However, now, Shaoyao is in a dilemma: to return or not to return?

Come back, I feel empty-handed and I haven't completed the task given by the lady. It's quite embarrassing.

Why don't you go back? The people you brought can't capture Jiang Mansion's group of women and young men who use brute force.

Moreover, the other party said that as long as his master is called, the door will be opened.

How about going back and calling the eldest son?

You can't call me Miss. This Jiang Mansion is the place where Miss is sad. If you can't come, just try not to come.

"While it's still daylight, you still have time to call your master. Go quickly..."

When Mrs. Jiang saw Shaoyao struggling, she felt secretly happy: You know, who can be better than my old lady when it comes to playing tricks?

"Shaoyao, why are you still standing there?"

Just when the scene was in a stalemate, a cold female voice came from a distance.

Following the sound, I saw the bright-looking girl walking towards the group of people with a smile, followed by the more colorful Chang Jieyu.

"You were asked to move the dowry. Why didn't you move it for so long? The Jiang family didn't pay for it?"

Although he heard Mrs. Jiang's words from a distance, You'an still pretended not to know and asked Shaoyao.

"Miss, Mrs. Jiang said that we can't move until the master of the Liu family comes."

After Shaoyao finished speaking, she looked at Mrs. Jiang in front of her expectantly, wondering what other excuses the other party could have.

When the latter heard this, he couldn't help but feel guilty, and felt embarrassed that he had been slapped in the face in public.

"Yushi!"

Still seeing the eldest daughter-in-law Yu Changjie who was silently following Youan, she immediately changed the focus and scolded: "Tell me about you, you can't live a good life, why are you going to sue the boss for spoiling his concubine and killing his wife? After all these years, you can't

You’ve all come here like this, you’ve endured it before, why can’t you endure it now?”

"Do you know how embarrassing it would be for the Jiang family if word of this spread?"

"I know!"

Seeing Mrs. Jiang picking up the soft persimmons and pinching them, Yu Changjie sneered: "So, I did it on purpose."

"you you……"

Mrs. Jiang did not expect that her eldest daughter-in-law, who had always been honest and courteous, would choke her and asked angrily: "The Jiang family is embarrassed, what good will it do to you?"

"Seeing the Jiang family being embarrassed makes me feel so happy!"

Maybe because she was chatting with You'an along the way, Yu Changjie unknowingly picked up You'an's way of speaking.

The yin and yang look made Mrs. Jiang so angry that she wanted to vomit blood. She pulled Nanny Zheng and said excitedly: "Where is the boss? Where is the boss? Let the boss divorce this woman who contradicts my mother-in-law..."
