Reborn Concubine, Be Respectful First

"Fourth aunt, you heard me wrong. I said to ask you to report to the police. As for my elder sister-in-law's dowry, I wanted to use the dowry money to buy a shop to do business, so that I can have some income and not live off my savings! When did I say that the dowry money of the elder sister-in-law was returned to you?

Besides, you and your sister-in-law have never been able to prove that the fire in your yard was caused by me. Have all your pretense really burned out? What was the box you sent the maidservants to fetch that night? What? Are you trying to steal money from me and Chu Wei to give to your prodigal son to gamble? I don't have it, so if you have the ability, go to Chu Wei and ask for it!"

After the same question was repeated so many times, Su Xinqing lost her patience.

Sure enough, as soon as the words came out, the whole hall fell silent.

It only took a moment for Zhang's face to change from smug to pale.

A well-maintained hand pointed in Su Xinqing's direction, shaking up and down, with lips trembling unconsciously and eyes full of bloodshot.

It was obvious that he was greatly stimulated.

Seeing that the other party was too excited, Su Xinqing kindly reminded Xiao Zhang behind her, "Fourth Aunt is old, it's not good for her to be too excited. She may have a stroke. Sister-in-law, please persuade her. If something happens to Fourth Aunt, you will have to serve her by her bedside and take care of her excrement and urine. Just think about it. If a concubine gives birth to a son or a daughter, your position will be awkward!"

After saying this, he no longer looked at Xiao Zhang's expression, but picked up the cup and took a sip.

Lu'an Guapian is indeed a good tea.

Su Xinqing couldn't help but drink a few more sips. The tea in the old marquis's yard was really rare.

If not, they wanted to get the silver from Chu Wei, but it would take them a long time to get a sip of tea.

Thinking of this, Su Xinqing slowly ate a piece of pastry on the table.

The old marquis's wife looked at Su Xinqing's behavior and coughed lightly several times.

A mouthful of phlegm was stuck in her throat, almost killing the old marquis' wife. With the help of a nanny, she finally recovered.

Then he saw that the people were already sitting in their rooms, eating and drinking.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, this is how you teach your daughter-in-law! She talked back to her elders, set fire to their yard, and now you're still quibbling here? Who taught her the rules? She sat down to eat and drink before her elders asked her to. How can she be like that!" The old marquis's rough voice, filled with anger, spread throughout the hall.

Although Yuan was not afraid of the old lady Hou, she was still weighed down by the word "filial piety".

She could only kneel down and apologize: "Mother-in-law, please calm down. It's all your fault. I'll teach you a lesson later. Please calm down, mother-in-law."

The old marquis's wife was scolding her eldest daughter-in-law while glaring at her granddaughter-in-law who was still eating and drinking.

He simply closed his eyes and waved his hands, saying: "Forget it, forget it. I'm old and can't take care of it anymore. If you have any problems, just talk to your eldest sister-in-law. She chose her own daughter-in-law, so she will definitely be the one to discipline her." After that, he had someone help him to the back to rest.

As soon as the old marquis' wife left, Zhang and her mother-in-law were completely dumbfounded.

"Mother-in-law, our courtyard..." Zhang looked at the departing figure and couldn't help but remind the old marquis's wife.

The moment she raised her head, she saw the gloomy gaze of the old marquis' wife, and Zhang could only shut her mouth.

However, after seeing the look of the nanny beside the old marquis's wife, she accurately found the life-saving straw.

"Sister-in-law, you Rushi is the mistress of this mansion. Yu'er has become successful now. We will still rely on Yu'er in the future. Our Ji'er is a loser and still needs Yu'er's support. Sister-in-law, please help our fourth room. Otherwise, won't we be left with nothing? Bilian's family background is not as good as Ruyan's. She originally had a small dowry, and now, there is even less. How are we going to make a living in the future? Woo woo... Sister-in-law... You have to give justice to our fourth room... Woo woo..."

The old marquis's wife has already left, and Zhang can't let Yuan get away, otherwise all her planning since early morning would be in vain.

She no longer cared whether Yuan got the money or not. All she wanted now was to make up for the shortfall in the dowry!

Thinking of this, Zhang couldn't help but hold the handkerchief and started crying.

When little Zhang saw her mother-in-law's look, she naturally knew her mother-in-law's plan and started crying too.

If someone doesn't understand the situation, they might really think that someone else has snatched the dowries of the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law.

Jiang couldn't help but snorted in her heart, and also said, "Yes, sister-in-law, this mansion will belong to Yu'er and his wife in the future. The current state of Wanxiang Hall requires a large sum of money. We have to make an agreement that this is their business after all. If you use the public treasury's money to repair the courtyard for the fourth room, we, the fifth room, will be the first to disagree."

When Yuan heard what the two were saying, she felt like she was being roasted on the fire.

Didn't he notice that the old hag had already left? He knew very well that he couldn't get even a tael of silver from this illegitimate daughter, let alone from Chu Wei, the illegitimate son.

So, he left quickly and left himself to deal with these people.

It was really a good plan. One wanted his own dowry, and the other did not want the palace to spend money to repair the courtyard.

What does it mean?

You can't get any benefit from this concubine's daughter, so you want it from me?

"Fourth sister-in-law, fifth sister-in-law, what are you talking about? I am just standing there as a witness. You can just discuss the issues between you and the third daughter-in-law yourselves. I will just sit aside and watch. I am a womanizer and I cannot take sides. As for fifth sister-in-law, that is fourth sister-in-law's yard. Whether to repair it or not is fourth sister-in-law's business, and has little to do with you and me. As for where the money should be used, it is up to my mother-in-law to decide. After all, fourth brother has an official position outside and has his own income. It makes sense for him not to use the public money." Yuan sat upright and said peacefully.

"Ah... Sister-in-law, where should Bilian and I live? Are we going to have to squeeze in with my mother-in-law..." Zhang's words came to her lips, and she said awkwardly, "It's not impossible. My mother-in-law is old and needs someone to take care of her by her bedside. I'll stay. Sister-in-law, you can arrange a small courtyard for Bilian. I think Yilan Courtyard next to Mingzhu is good. It's quiet and elegant. Although it's a little small, it's enough for Bilian alone."

When Yuan and Jiang heard Zhang's plan, they cursed in their hearts.

Zhang had a clear idea. She stayed in the largest garden of the Marquis of Zhenbei on the pretext of serving the old marquis' wife, and arranged her daughter-in-law to live in the most elegant courtyard in the backyard.

Yilan Courtyard was the courtyard where Chu Yanran, the eldest daughter of the Yuan family, lived before she got married.

The Yuan family still sends people to clean the house every day in preparation for Shen Ruyan's future eldest daughter.

She is not a daughter-in-law from the next room, so you can't even dream about her.

Yuan looked at Zhang's calculating face and sneered.
