Reborn Concubine, Be Respectful First

"Well, you are living well in your courtyard, why do you want to change it? Besides, my mother-in-law likes quietness, and she can be served by maids and old women. She doesn't need you as her principal wife, who will make a fool of herself." Yuan retorted with a few words.

Seeing that she couldn't get what she wanted, Zhang continued to cry.

Su Xinqing sat down below, eating and drinking, and listening to the disputes between the people. It seemed that she didn't feel so unbearable anymore.

In Yuan's eyes, Su Xinqing's look was a naked mockery.

Her gentle and dignified face was already irritated by the Fourth House's nagging, and she suddenly became angry: "Third daughter-in-law, you said that the fire in Wanxiang Hall had nothing to do with you, so why did the thief die in your yard, but the fire happened in the Fourth House? It can't be that the thief hit the wrong yard, right?"

"Oh, I've thought about this, too. It could be that the maid of the fourth room didn't seal the stove properly, so the water leaked out, illuminating the surrounding area and attracting thieves. Speaking of this, I should ask the fourth aunt for compensation. If it wasn't for the mistake of the fourth aunt's maid, lighting up my yard, how could the thieves be attracted? I had clearly arranged to stage an empty city plan, but because of the mistake of the fourth aunt, I was almost killed by the thieves. Mother-in-law, do you think I should ask the fourth room for compensation? After all, six vases were broken, three chairs were damaged, and a screen was damaged..."

Listening to Su Xinqing calling out the names one by one, Zhang felt dizzy.

She had never seen such a shameless person before. The tears on her face were stuck. She cursed: "Little bitch, what nonsense are you talking about? You can't say for sure. That group of thieves went after you and caused trouble for our mansion."

"Fourth aunt, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Otherwise, I will go to the Jingzhao government office to sue you for spreading rumors and causing trouble, and disregarding human life. I am a housewife, and I cannot bear your injustice. You don't care about my reputation and let me die, then I will risk my life and drag your whole family to death. I also want to say that the gang of thieves identified Fourth aunt's yard and burned it on purpose. I guess they saw that the maids in my yard saw them committing the crime and wanted to kill them to silence them. Fourth aunt knows the intentions of the gang of thieves. Is there any connection with the thieves? Or did Fourth aunt use her own dowry money to hire someone to burn her own yard, and then framed me and Chu Wei, trying to calculate the property under my husband's name?"

Having said that, Su Xinqing seemed to have discovered some big secret, and her whole body leaned towards the door.

He looked at the people sitting there in shock, as if they were all in cahoots with the Fourth House.

Plan to calculate the property of the couple.

Before everyone could react, Su Xinqing walked quickly outside the house and shouted, "Mother-in-law, Fourth Aunt, Fifth Aunt, Eldest Sister-in-law, Sister-in-law, I am an unfavored concubine, and my dowry is less than 100 taels. I have no money. If you really want it, I will go to the front yard to find my husband and ask him to take out the treasures in his private vault and give them to you... Please stop slandering me... Wuwuwu..."

Banyue and Shanlan followed their master and ran away in a flash.

Yuan: “…”

Zhang: "..."

Mr. Jiang: "..."

Before the three of them could react, Su Xinqing had already led her men out of Qingzhu Garden.

Soon, even the maid's cries could no longer be heard clearly.

Yuan had thought of so many possibilities, but he had never thought of this one.

She was even yelled out of Qingzhu Garden by that little bitch. Even though she had been the mistress of the house for so many years, she couldn't guarantee that what was said in the yard just now would not be spread outside.

What's more, the little bitch's voice was not small. It was estimated that within three days, everyone in the capital would know that she, the mistress of the marquis's mansion, and her aunt were calculating the dowry for the new daughter-in-law and the private property of the illegitimate son.

Thinking of this, Yuan's face couldn't get any darker.

"Sister-in-law..." Jiang looked at Yuan's face, which was so dark that it could be dripping with ink. She quickly ordered Nanny Gong to go outside and seal her mouth.

Zhang finally recovered and cursed angrily, "This little bitch actually turned the tables on me. Sister-in-law, where did you find such a daughter-in-law? She divorced me with just a piece of divorce paper. She's not a daughter-in-law at all, she's a debt collector. It's really unfair... Woo... My yard, my dowry... are gone just like that, woo..."

"Okay, stop crying, fourth sister-in-law, and stop pretending in front of me. Was there any loss of your dowry and your daughter-in-law's dowry? Or how much was lost? How come there was nothing lost? Do you need me to find the people for you and confront them one by one?" Yuan said in a cold and merciless voice.

Zhang suddenly fell silent, her eyes avoided, and she didn't dare to look directly at Yuan.

After a while, Yuan continued, "The total cost of repairing Wanxiang Hall is 1,600 taels of silver. You four families will pay half, and the other half will come from the public fund. It's okay if you don't want to repair it. Once mother-in-law passes away, you two families can move out. Anyway, you have your own houses outside. There is absolutely no reason to stay at your brother and sister-in-law's house. What's more, the second family will move out to live in a separate house after the new year."

After a long time, seeing that the two were no longer talking, Yuan took Shen Ruyan and left.

Zhang and Jiang, as well as their children, daughters-in-law and daughters-in-law, were left alone and looked at each other.

Then they left each other.

The old marquis's wife in the bedroom snorted angrily when she heard the words conveyed by the servant.

Then she smashed a few more cups and plates. "How unfilial! She's dragging me to death long ago, so that no one can put pressure on her. The entire Zhenbei Marquis Mansion is left to her alone to make decisions! Humph!"

Nanny An was behind the old marquis' wife, calming her down and waving her hand to tell the maid who had just finished cleaning up the teacups to leave quickly.

Seeing that her mistress had almost vented her anger, she poured another glass of water, handed it to the old marquis' wife, and consoled her, "Old lady, that's why you need to take good care of yourself, otherwise the Fourth Master and the Fifth Master will be driven out by the marquis' wife. At least you are here, and the Fourth Master and the Fifth Master can wait for your protection for another day. The Sixth Miss will only be looking for someone else in the next two years, so you will need to take care of her more. The Sixth Miss is married well, so she can take care of her family more in the future. It's a pity that the Fifth Master doesn't have a legitimate son by his side..."

When this matter was mentioned, the old marquis's wife's attention was diverted.

As the old saying goes, the eldest grandson and the youngest son are the lifeblood of the old lady, and the old marquis's wife is no exception.

Nanny An also understood her master's mentality, which is why she always stepped on the other maids.

Moreover, everything he said was for the sake of the eldest young master and the fifth master, so he was definitely right.
