Reborn Concubine, Be Respectful First

"Aunt Four, sister-in-law, where did you hear that the yard was built by our Fufengxie people? Could you please bring them out so we can confront them? Or did the Jingzhao prefect tell you?"

Xiao Zhang: “…” Su Xinqing suddenly asked her back, and Xiao Zhang looked at her mother-in-law helplessly.

"Of course someone said it! What? Do you want to kill people to silence them?" Zhang slapped her daughter-in-law beside her hard.

I couldn't help but feel disgusted in my heart, and I panicked just like that. It was really useless!

Xiao Zhang was beaten by her mother-in-law, and she felt aggrieved. Her mother-in-law did not tell her what to do before she came.

Why are you blaming yourself again now?

Feeling a little annoyed, he stood behind Zhang, lowered his head, and stopped moving. After all, his loss was not that big.

The person who has suffered the greatest loss hasn't said anything yet, why is she rushing to be in the spotlight?

After realizing this, little Zhang became like a gourd with its mouth sawed off and stopped talking to avoid being disliked by her mother-in-law.

"Oh, if you say so, I can also say that your yard was on fire because of the maids from the fourth room. They didn't seal the stove before leaving, which led to the fire and almost burned my yard. Fourth aunt, can I ask your fourth room for compensation now?"

Zhang: "..."

She looked at the person who was confusing right and wrong with her eyes wide open. She had never known that there was such a person in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.

"What nonsense are you talking about? The stove in our fourth room's small kitchen is sealed when it gets dark. How can you say it's not sealed?" Feeling her mother-in-law's gaze, Zhang felt overwhelmed.

My mother-in-law had long said that the Zhenbei Marquisate was trying to save money and had even stipulated that no food should be eaten after dark.

If the mother-in-law knew that the fourth room did not listen to her, she would definitely be angry, and she would be given even fewer benefits in the future.

When Jiang heard Zhang's guilty words, she sneered.

However, he did not say anything. Instead, he stood up and walked behind the old marquis's wife, gently tapping her back.

When Su Xinqing saw the relationship between the mother-in-law and the daughters-in-law, she already had a plan in mind.

What's more, it wasn't a big deal. It was just that someone wanted to bite off a piece of meat from himself or Chu Wei.

After all, he was notoriously shabby, and even the things he sent to the Prince's Mansion exuded a shabby air.

That only means that he wants to suck blood from Chu Wei.

After understanding all this, Su Xinqing said with difficulty: "Grandmother, mother-in-law, and all the aunts, you may not know that I have just given away my most precious dowry. Even if I am given such a big hat, I don't have that much money. Why don't you report it to the police? Anyway, I can't afford that much money!"

After saying that, Su Xinqing found a seat and sat down near the door.

Although it's a bit cold, it can help Su Xinqing keep a clear mind.

Zhang: “…” I have never seen a new bride who is not afraid of her elders.

Looking at the other party, drinking tea leisurely, Zhang felt that she was going to be irritated by the other party's attitude: "It doesn't matter if you don't have it, Chu Wei does. Not only does he have his own salary, he has had several shops a long time ago, and some of them are in good locations. He has thousands of taels of silver in dividends every year. Over the years, 50,000 taels of silver should be there. You and your husband are originally one. You burned my yard, and he paid for you. Isn't it natural? Besides, Chu Wei is now an official in the court. If you report to the authorities and let people know that his wife burned the elders' yard, how can he face his colleagues in the future? You are young and don't understand these. As an elder, Fourth Aunt should tell you. After all, we are all surnamed Chu, and we are connected even if our bones are broken!"

When the old marquis's wife heard what her fourth daughter-in-law said, she looked at her straight in the eye for the first time.

Yuan just listened quietly, not intending to say much, but kept staring at Su Xinqing.

Shen Ruyan, on the other hand, looked like she was enjoying the show. She didn't think Su Xinqing had tens of thousands of taels of silver, nor did she believe that Chu Wei would help Su Xinqing out.

Let alone tens of thousands of taels of silver, even if it was only a hundred taels, with Chu Wei's personality, he wouldn't even look at the other person. After all, how could a man who hasn't even entered the bridal chamber on the wedding night care about the life or death of the bride?

As for why Chu Wei appeared in the backyard on the day of the earthquake, the most likely reason was that he wanted to go back to the backyard to see the old marquis' wife.

However, Su Xinqing's yard happened to be on that road, which would explain why they turned back later. Someone must have gone to the backyard to look for her.

"Aunt Four, what I'm saying is, we all know how much dowry your third sister-in-law has. But, you see, your fourth aunt and her family no longer have their yard, so all the dowry is buried in the yard. Although you don't have any, I have some. Go and tell my third brother, and he will definitely not ignore you. We are all family, there is no distinction between you and me!" Shen Ruyan said with a slightly frivolous tone.

Su Xinqing was worried that no one would talk to her, so she smiled and said to Shen Ruyan, "Sister-in-law, you are right. Everyone sitting here is a family. Sister-in-law, we are closer. How about this? Sister-in-law, you are the daughter of a general. Your dowry is definitely not comparable to that of a concubine's daughter of an earl's mansion. Sister-in-law, why don't you lend me your dowry? We are all family. It doesn't matter who you lend it to! Sister-in-law, what do you say? Isn't it?"

At first, Shen Ruyan heard Su Xinqing's words, and the smile on her face had not yet faded, when she heard that the other party shamelessly wanted to borrow her dowry.

Her face immediately turned gloomy, and her beautiful eyes seemed to be filled with knives.

"Alright, what's the matter with you? Why are you dragging your eldest sister-in-law into this matter between you and the fourth room? Besides, how can you borrow a woman's dowry? It is your eldest sister-in-law's support for the rest of her life." Yuan interrupted Su Xinqing's nonsense.

When he finished speaking, he glared at his eldest daughter-in-law again.

"I..." Shen Ruyan wanted to explain something, but after being signaled by Yuan, she shut her mouth.

"Okay, let's do it this way. Granddaughter-in-law, go back and ask Wei'er for the money. Send it to Qingzhu Garden tomorrow, and then ask your fourth aunt to come and get it. Fourth daughter-in-law, there are 10,000 taels in it. It will be given to your eldest sister-in-law to help you build the yard. Do you understand?" The old marquis's wife sat in a high seat, her eyes slightly narrowed, and her voice was not as strong as before.

It was as if he was really frightened, and his body felt weak.

However, it did not stop them from snatching the money from him and divided it up right in front of him, the victim.

How big a yard would it take ten thousand taels to build it? Are you prepared to put mountains of gold and silver in it?

"Grandma, I don't understand what you mean? Go back to get money? What money? Didn't I ask my sister-in-law to borrow it? My sister-in-law didn't lend it to me? What money do I need to pay back?"

"Of course it's compensation for the money for our garden and dowry. You asked Ruyan to borrow money just now? Aren't you going to compensate us?" Zhang replied impatiently.
