"The title of Second Madam of the Liu Family is really too polite. There's no need to be so affectionate. Just call me Madam Chu."

Qin didn't know whether she was venting her anger for her niece or for the injustice she had suffered over the years from the rat, so she just tore the other person's face off.

Liu Jinnan was not an official, so Gu Qiulan, as his wife, could not be called Madam. Qin also showed her identity as the wife of an official, which was a clear rejection of the other party's pretending to be intimate and trying to make friends with her.

"I am a narrow-minded person, and I am not as virtuous and respectable as your stepmother. I would rather give up my own flesh and blood than protect your daughter, who was born to a concubine. I have to say that your Gu family is good at taming people."

Miao suddenly turned her head to look at her daughter-in-law. Gu Qiulan was crying so hard that she could hardly stand and had to rely on the support of her personal maid beside her.

And Qin's skinning operation is still going on.

"But you made a wrong calculation!"

Her eyes turned completely cold, and her words were powerful and decisive.

"It's Chu Yushu's own business that she's not clear-headed. We, the Chu family, are not stupid enough to abandon our own niece and instead try to take advantage of the situation of a bastard's daughter occupying the magpie's nest!

So Madam Liu, this dowry was defrauded by the Gu family in the name of the Chu family's legitimate niece. What's wrong with us returning it for our own children?

If there is anything you still don't understand, just ask your good daughter-in-law, don't bother with us here. Otherwise, even if your Liu family doesn't pursue it, our Chu family may not let it go!"

Although Qin Shi was not as good as the eldest and second sisters-in-law in terms of birth, family background and rank, she did one thing very well, which was that she always knew her position clearly.

For example, now, she knew that she represented the Chu family. So even though she was several levels lower than the Miao family, she dared to stand up straight and speak harshly to them.

Afraid of a hammer!

Although that old man Liu is a second-rank official like his eldest uncle, how can he compare with the Minister of Works who is about to retire and the Minister of Justice who is strong and in good health and has the support of the emperor?

What's more, we are right, what are we afraid of? Even if we go to the emperor, our Chu family is right!

"Our child was digging in the ground in his own farm, and he didn't go out to play with cats and dogs. Then you say that for no reason a scoundrel broke in and wanted to steal things. The child was simple-minded and thought wrongly for a moment, so he did something a little out of line. This is completely understandable, right?"

Bai nodded wildly beside him.

"That's right, what my third daughter-in-law said makes sense! If you really can't understand, why don't we go before the emperor to sort out right and wrong and ask for a holy judgment?"

Miao took a few deep breaths and felt that the shock she had received today was a bit too much.

Although she felt a little uncomfortable about the rumor that was spreading around the capital, she did not believe it completely.

It's not that she, as a mother-in-law, is magnanimous, kind, and loves her daughter-in-law, but because after those rumors that came from nowhere spread, the couple made a special trip to the Liu family.

Even Madam Gu Chu once clearly stated that Gu Qiulan was her daughter!

But now, what is the situation?

Looking at the two women from the Chu family opposite, who were so confident in what they said, and then looking at her own wife, whose face was pale but she dared not open her mouth to defend herself, Miao Shi understood even if she was a bit stubborn. Perhaps what Qin Shi said was the truth!

In an instant, she connected all the things that were not right in her mind and could immediately figure them out.

No wonder when the tenant farmer from the farm came over to report the news, Gu Qiulan panicked and knocked over the teacup.

At that time she didn't believe it at all.

Who would be so bold as to attack the master of his own farm? Could it be that this brat has no money to spend, so he has come up with new ways to ask the servants to act pitiful in front of his mother?

It was not until her daughter-in-law Gu's face suddenly became very abnormal that she realized something was a little bit wrong. After being asked harshly, she reluctantly told some truth.

It turned out that the couple had been jealous of each other last night and had a quarrel this morning. Her youngest son was in a bad mood, so he went to the farm outside the city to relax.

Miao's heart was broken by her son's pain, so she scolded Gu and brought people to persuade her son to go back. But when she got off the car and entered the house, she found that the messenger was not lying, and her son was really beaten!

She hurriedly arranged for her servants to find a doctor to treat her, and then she went to find the perpetrator angrily. Before she could say a few words, the Chu family came chasing after her.

And now, what they originally had in mind has suddenly become unreasonable.

Miao clenched the handkerchief in her hand tightly and stared at Gu Qiulan coldly. The other party pretended to be in pain and avoided her guilty look, which made her even more angry.

Although I can't be sure how much truth there is in Qin's words, I don't know what kind of discord there is between the Gu family and the Chu family that would make them do something like recovering the dowry?

However, it was now clear that the Green Water Manor had been taken back by the Chu family and was no longer Gu's dowry! Then her son's coming here was like trespassing into someone else's manor, and the beating he received was for nothing!

Seeing that the other party had sorted out the matter, Qin and Bai looked at each other and stopped talking, otherwise it would seem that they were being unreasonable and aggressive.

Miao stared at Gu Qiulan coldly.

"You'd better explain everything to me after you go back. Otherwise, my Liu family will not be able to tolerate a big Buddha like you!"

"Mother-in-law, I really don't know..."

Gu Qiulan's sophistry was interrupted by Miao's fierce wave of her sleeves. She turned her gaze to Chu Chi with a very unfriendly expression and her eyes were full of tears of resentment.

"If anything happens to my son in the future, you, a fool, will never get away with it! Even if I go to the emperor to file a complaint, I will make you pay for my son's life!"

“Ah~~~~”

There was a muffled thud, which was the intimate contact between the belly and the shoes. Before anyone could react, the increasingly clever tiger-head shoes took the initiative to help their owner react instinctively.

thump!

Just as the harsh words were uttered, a familiar parabola, with the help of pink tiger-head shoes, perfectly drew a beautiful arc, and then fell into a pond of spring water with a splash, rippling in the breeze.

“…Help…Ah!…I can’t…Gulp gulp gulp…”
