The Evil Mistress's Killing Crazy Daily

"Madam, there is a problem with the betrothal gift."

"what?"

"Mrs. Yin said that most of the items in the betrothal gifts overlap with the betrothal gifts of the Second Young Master and the Third Young Lady.

She recently took over as the new housekeeper and had just checked the warehouse, so she had an impression of all these things. They are definitely from our house!"

While Madam Fan was reporting the situation to Old Madam Xi in a low and quick voice, she winked at the maid next to her to stop Old Madam Zhao.

Old Mrs. Zhao was suddenly stopped and her heart tightened.

She was trembling, and just when she was about to ask why, Madam Xi suddenly asked her with a cold smile, "Madam Zhao, you are a single woman, and you have been able to raise your son to this age, and also support him to study and pass the imperial examination. This is already very rare. What's even rarer is that you can come up with such a generous betrothal gift in the blink of an eye. It's really eye-opening."

“Where, where…”

Old Mrs. Zhao's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and she couldn't help but explain, "Actually, those are things passed down from my family, and they have nothing to do with me."

"It's okay? I'm afraid not?"

Old Madam Xi asked meaningfully.

At the same time, Yin Xiaorou had brought people to move all the problematic betrothal gifts to the front of the hall.

She walked around Old Lady Zhao and went straight to the center of the hall. She said respectfully to Old Lady Xi, "Madam, apart from the cakes, chickens, ducks, cloth and silks, all the valuable jade, gold, famous toys, calligraphy and paintings in the betrothal gifts came from our house."

As she spoke, she took out the betrothal list that Ruan Yunluo had handed over to her. The places on the list that overlapped with Lu Yitong's betrothal gifts were marked to facilitate comparison by Old Lady Xi.

Old Madam Xi glanced at the betrothal note and was shocked.

All the valuable and easy-to-carry items on the list were marked and became Lu Yitong's betrothal gift!

Looking at the hall filled with betrothal gifts and then at Old Mrs. Zhao's timid look, how could Old Lady Xi not understand?

She threw the two betrothal papers fiercely in the middle of the hall.

Glancing at Old Lady Zhao with gritted teeth, she questioned Yin Xiaorou first, "What's going on! Don't you have the key to the warehouse? Everything in there has been emptied out, and you didn't even know?!"

"Please forgive me, old lady!"

Yin Xiaorou cursed Xiao Qintang inwardly, and quickly knelt down and said aggrievedly: "The third lady did come to Xiaorou a few days ago, saying that she wanted to check her dowry. Xiaorou had no choice but to take out the key and go with her... Maybe it was because she touched the key that day, so..."

"waste!"

Madam Xi cursed angrily, and then looked coldly at Madam Zhao, "So, you actually used my Xiao family's things as a betrothal gift to marry my Xiao family's daughter? You and Lu Yitong, mother and son, are going too far?"

"This……"

Old Mrs. Zhao just smiled and was speechless for a long time.

She pretended to pick up the list on the ground and looked at it for a long time before she said, "Madam, actually if you ask me, I don't know what's going on... maybe it's a coincidence..."

"coincide?"

Old Madam Xi sneered and glanced at Madam Fan.

Nanny Fan immediately went to the front of the hall and picked up a piece of calligraphy or painting at random from the pile of betrothal gifts.

She opened the painting and pointed at the seal on the lower left corner and looked at Old Lady Zhao, saying contemptuously, "Old Lady Zhao, can you read?"

"No, I don't know him."

Old Mrs. Zhao glanced at General Xiao's name on the seal and shook her head quickly.

At the same time, she secretly blamed Xiao Qintang. She had told him that she couldn't use these things directly as betrothal gifts. She had to sell them and buy new ones.

She refused.

Now, she is in an awkward position.

The same goes for the Xiao family. No matter whose stuff it is, hasn’t it been returned to them intact?

Why are you so fussy about it...

Thinking of this, she became angry.

So she stood in front of the hall listlessly, and she simply confessed: "Old Madam, you know the situation of my family. It's not that I don't want to, but I really can't afford so much betrothal gifts. Qin Tang is also sensible, so she came up with this idea, thinking of dealing with it first...

Anyway, all the things have been returned to you intact, so please be merciful and don't take it too seriously.

After all, these are Qintang's things. There's nothing wrong with her being willing to give them to our family.

We are all a family from now on..."

"Who is your family?"

Old Madam Xi was angry.

She thought, we are not even a family yet, yet we are so cunning. What will happen if we really become a family in the future?

That idiot Xiao Qintang...

Thinking of Xiao Qintang, Old Madam Xi got a headache.

If it weren't for her stupid daughter, she wouldn't have lowered her status and wasted her time arguing with such a person...

"Why aren't we a family?"

When Mrs. Zhao heard that Mrs. Xi wanted to distance herself from the matter, she refused to accept it.

She was afraid that her efforts would be in vain, so she quickly argued with her eyes wide open, "Not to mention that the whole capital knows that the Third Miss was hugging my son in Lingzhao Temple, there were also many witnesses when I came to deliver the betrothal gift this morning. Oh, you accepted the betrothal gift, but your daughter refused to marry. How can this be possible?"

"How dare you mention the betrothal gift!" Old Madam Xi was angry. "What is this betrothal gift about? Don't you know what it is?"

"I do not care."

Old Mrs. Zhao curled her lips, rolled up her sleeves and said listlessly, "Anyway, there are so many people who can testify for me. Either you return the betrothal gifts to me, or you marry the Third Miss to me, otherwise... otherwise I won't leave!"

“You…” Seeing Old Lady Zhao acting like a rogue, Old Lady Xi felt dizzy with anger.

"It's just right not to leave!"

At this time, Yin Xiaorou suddenly spoke.

She knew that she was implicated by Xiao Qintang, and in order to make amends, she could only cater to Old Madam Xi and serve as a vanguard officer.

He angrily said to Old Lady Zhao: "Since you want to act like a rogue, let's report it to the police!"

"Report it to the police if you can!"

Madam Zhao pouted, looking very single, "If you are not afraid of being embarrassed, then report it."

"It's nothing to be embarrassed about. At most, you'll be laughed at for a while. But if you get entangled with people like you, you'll be unlucky for the rest of your life."

Yin Xiaorou's face was full of disgust, and she continued, "And it's just right. This is an opportunity to let the whole capital know what kind of person your son is. Let's see how he can survive in the officialdom in the future!"

"that is!"

Madam Xi immediately agreed.

In fact, she knew in her heart that the marriage had been settled, but a marriage is one thing, and how it is arranged is another.

Taking advantage of the fact that she was in the right today, she had to temper the Lu family's temper.

Otherwise, if she takes such a ridiculous thing lightly, will the Lu family still take the Xiao family and her seriously in the future?

I'm afraid I'll have to shit on her neck!

Thinking of this, she glanced at Old Lady Zhao coldly, then frowned at Nanny Fan, "Didn't you hear what Aunt Yin said? Go, ask the Dali Temple to come and judge the case."

"This……"

Nanny Fan was surprised.

Just as she was about to confirm again, Xiao Qintang's voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.

She shouted anxiously: "Don't call the police!"
