In the rebirth, the abandoned wife of a noble family turned black

Jiang Ruanxi concealed the sarcasm in her eyes, "Mother, although my dowry cannot be used, don't you still have a dowry?"

Zhou opened her mouth wide and did not react at all. Jiang Ruanxi said again, "You told me before that after marrying into the Lin family, you will naturally become a member of the Lin family. Mr. Hou is your son, and now you are encountering difficulties. You As the Marquis’ mother, you can’t help but help, right?”

Lin Ningkun's thoughts moved and he looked at Mr. Zhou with bright eyes, full of expectation.

"How...how can this be done?" Mrs. Zhou's heart was bleeding. It wasn't that she was unwilling to use her dowry to help her son, but that her dowry was not much in the first place, and she had been defeated in the Hou Mansion. I put a lot of them in when I was young, and now I keep the rest for my retirement.

"Why can't it work?" Jiang Ruanxi said in shock, "Mother, didn't you say that? If the Marquis is promoted, and you are the Marquis' mother, your status will also rise by then, right? Besides, You are only using your dowry temporarily. When the Marquis is promoted, there will be more ways to do it, and there will naturally be more money in the future, and the Marquis will definitely return it to you."

Zhou's body stiffened. She never expected that Jiang Ruan Xi would use his own words to persuade her. She really couldn't tell her the pain.

"This..." Zhou must have selfish motives in her heart, but under Lin Ningkun's gaze, she couldn't say some words at all.

"Mother, the Marquis is your biological son. Are you reluctant to part with your dowry?"

Jiang Ruanxi felt that the fire was not strong enough, so he continued to add firewood.

Lin Ningkun also believed it, looking at Mr. Zhou with a look of disbelief, and his eyes were a little more scrutinizing.

Zhou retorted, "Of course I don't mean that. If I can help Lord Marquis, I will definitely help. But the clan leader also said just now that if anyone knows about the use of women's dowry, it will definitely not be safe." Well, maybe there will be more gossip then, wouldn’t it be self-defeating?”

Lin Ningkun frowned, as if thinking about this problem.

Lin Runkun also touched his beard, as if he was deep in thought.

Seeing them like this, Mrs. Zhou thought her words had an effect and she could escape, and she felt relieved. But before she could be happy for a long time, Jiang Ruanxi looked at her with a smile.

"Actually, if you spend your mother's dowry, others won't gossip, and they might even praise you."

Zhou was puzzled and felt that Jiang Ruanxi was making nonsense.

Lin Ningkun and Lin Runkun were shocked and asked in unison.

"How do you say this?"

"really?"

"Do you still remember the new top scorer not long ago?"

Seeing that everyone was listening attentively, Jiang Ruanxi continued.

"I remember that this new No. 1 scholar was from a poor family, but his mother used her dowry to support him. Not only did she raise him, but she also went around to help wealthy families, earn a meager income from washing clothes, and subsidized his education. After the Lord knew about it, Not only did he not feel that the new top scholar had used his mother's dowry, but he was very moved.

With a wave of his hand, he wrote it down directly. Taking pity on the hearts of parents in the world, they appointed him as the number one scholar in the new subject, and even made him an official of the sixth rank, and even rewarded him with ten thousand taels of gold. This is the first time in the Qin Kingdom. If a mother can be as devoted to the Marquis as the mother of the No. 1 Scholar, I think everyone will only understand the mother's painstaking efforts and will never laugh at anything. "

Hearing this, Lin Ningkun's eyes lit up, but Zhou felt very uncomfortable. She never thought that such a thing could happen.

"I think it's okay." When Lin Runkun heard this, he looked at Mrs. Zhou with almost stars in his eyes, "If you take out these dowries, I believe no one will say anything by then. I will even understand your hard work."

"This...this..." Zhou didn't expect that Lin Runkun would actually agree. He wanted to refuse but couldn't, and wanted to agree but couldn't speak.

"Mother, what are you still hesitating about? Aren't you willing to take it out for the sake of Mr. Hou's future?"

Jiang Ruanxi's words made Lin Ningkun frown slightly, and there was a bit of resoluteness on his cold and handsome face, "Mother, what difficulties do you have?"

"Ning Kun, it's not that I won't help you, it's just that I really can't help you." Zhou knew that some things could no longer be hidden.

Jiang Ruanxi looked surprised, "Mom, why can't you help? Are you kidding me?"

Lin Ningkun also had a bit of displeasure on his face, "Mother, it's time, just tell me what you have to say."

Originally this was a family matter, and Ms. Zhou didn't want to say it, but she couldn't resist her son's questioning, and she was also afraid that Lin Ningkun would think too much. After thinking for a few seconds, she could only confess everything.

"You want a lot of money. I'm afraid I won't be able to collect that much money for the dowry in my name."

Jiang Ruanxi was surprised again, "Mom, are you kidding me? I have been in charge of the family all these years. You have no place to spend money at all. How can you not have so much?"

Zhou's face turned pale, slightly unnatural.

"When you didn't come here, I was always in charge of the Lin family. At that time, I was not good at housekeeping. Most of the family's property was paid for with money. I used my dowry to put in a lot of money."

Although she had taken Jiang Ruanxi's stewardship for granted over the years, she didn't think it was that powerful.

But to say this is undoubtedly to admit that he is not as good as Jiang Ruan Xi in terms of stewardship.

Although it's a bit embarrassing, there is nothing we can do about it.

It's better than saying these words if you can't get the money by then, right?

"But mother, this is wrong. When I married into the Lin family and took over the family affairs, I clearly saw my mother's dowry list and put part of it in it, but I didn't say that even the little money that the Marquis needed was included. Can’t you take it out?”

Jiang Ruan Xi's words made Lin Ningkun's expression change drastically.

"Mother, the Marquis is your biological son. You don't want to help, and are you making excuses here?"

Lin Ningkun was already filled with anger, but now he was completely angry.

"Mother, don't you really want to help me?"

"No, you are my son, I definitely want to help you." Mrs. Zhou only felt miserable.

Facing Lin Ningkun's questioning, she wanted to explain, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say them out.

"Mother, since you don't want to help, do you have any other difficulties? This matter is related to the future of the Marquis. If you hesitate any longer, you may lose the opportunity. Are you worried that you took out the money? When the time comes, when the Marquis gets promoted, won’t he support you in your old age?”
