After rebirth, dribbling and leaving

Liu Diejing didn't know how to respond at this point, but she was unwilling to be lectured, so she stammered:

"I was just confused for a moment!

Xie Chen saw that his wife was still being stubborn, but it was too late to say anything. He had no choice but to ask her to pay more attention to Yin Jie'er's marriage, and then he left!

Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, she saw her beloved son rushing over excitedly, grinning and saying:

"Mom, please lend me some money. Two of my good friends are going to buy some imported goods... I heard that this is the first time for the foreigners to come to Li Country. They are unfamiliar with the place and were robbed on the road. They can't understand our language, so they want to pay the money and flee here!"

"My two good friends already had enough money. It was only when I asked them a few more questions that they quietly told me. I had to persuade them for a long time before they agreed to give me some!"

Liu Diejing felt uneasy and asked in detail, "Is your friend reliable? Does he know everything about you? He is not going to lie to you, is he?"

Xie Xiaolian's face drooped instantly:

"Mom, do you not believe me or my two good friends? If I don't seize this good opportunity, won't people laugh at me and call me a fool?"

Liu Diejing couldn't help but ask again: "Mother knows that if the imported goods are sold, the profit will definitely be considerable, but I'm afraid you will be cheated, so how much silver do you need?"

Xie Xiaolian stretched out a finger, and Liu Diejing asked tentatively:

"One thousand taels?"

Xie Xiaolian's face fell:

"Mother, how many things can you buy with one thousand taels? You probably don't know that the profit from selling an imported item can be multiplied several times. If my two good friends hadn't had someone lead the foreigner to a private house and detained him, I'm afraid he would have been snatched away by someone else long ago!"

Liu Dijing was very excited, but when she thought about it, she realized that there were only two or three thousand taels of silver left in the mansion, and she became hesitant!

"Wei Ge'er, do you want ten thousand taels?"

Xie Xiaolian saw that there was a way, and continued to lobby hard:

"Mother, the 10,000 taels are because I know the situation in the mansion. If it were me, I would have tried to get 20,000 taels. The other two took 50,000 taels each. One of them couldn't get that much money, so he borrowed money at high interest!"

Liu Diejing was shocked when she heard this and quickly told her son:

"My son, you must never borrow money at high interest rates. You can't touch that kind of thing. Compound interest can be terrifying!"

"Don't worry, mom. These imported goods are very popular. Every wealthy family would want a few. The demand is simply outstripping the supply!"

Liu Diejing thought about it and it made sense, but the mansion had to keep at least one thousand taels for turnover, so only two thousand taels could be spared. The remaining eight thousand taels would not be so easy to get!

She thought of her eldest daughter-in-law's dowry. Even though she had taken out some of the dowry in bits and pieces from the warehouse, if she sold it, she could get more than ten thousand taels!

Thinking of this, she smiled and asked her second son: "Son, how long can the foreigner delay?"

When Xie Xiaolian heard that there was a way, he hurriedly helped his mother pat her legs like a dog, and said with a smile:

"They said it could take three days because there was another person who had to collect money as well!"

Liu Diejing smiled like an old cat that had stolen some fish, patted her son and said:

"Wait a moment, let mother make the arrangements first. It should be ready on the third day!"

After Xie Xiaolian left, Liu Diejing hurriedly called Mother Wu in and asked her to go to the young mistress to ask for the storeroom key, saying that she was looking for a pair of vases. The daughter-in-law would not dare to refuse!

Who would have thought that Mother Wu had made a wasted trip and came back to Tan saying that the young mistress refused to give any dowry and that she was no longer the manager of the household. Now she had little money to spend, and the dowry was not much to begin with, so she couldn't touch it!

"You Su, you are getting more and more arrogant. You even dare to disobey the elders!"

Although Liu Diejing was angry, it was not nice to touch her daughter-in-law's dowry. Moreover, the laws of the Dali Kingdom stipulated that the dowry was the personal property of the married woman and could not be used without the husband's permission!

At this point, the open way won’t work, so the only way is to find another way!

"Mother Wu, please send the people in the backyard away first, and then arrange for those people to go to the young mistress's warehouse and find something to break the door lock. I will go over and pick some items and have someone send them out later!"

Mother Wu was stunned. Did the lady have no shame at all? She blatantly snatched her daughter-in-law's dowry!

After swallowing her saliva, Mother Wu tried to persuade:

"Madam, this may not be appropriate..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the Marquis's wife:

"She is the daughter-in-law of my Xie family. The child is about to be born. I can't not think about the Xie family. Stop talking nonsense and get to work..."

Mother Wu was efficient and quickly gathered everyone together. She sent away those around the warehouse and asked a burly man to break open the door lock!

Liu Diejing walked in, looked at the things in the room, carefully selected them, and asked someone to bring a few famous paintings and calligraphy, a half-meter-high red coral, a double-sided embroidered screen as high as a person, a few sets of red gold headgear, and jade ruyi ornaments...

When I had almost finished picking, I looked in the warehouse and found that only large pieces of furniture were left. I then left the warehouse contentedly, had someone lock the broken furniture and left!

Su Qingling was the first to hear the news and was not surprised at all!

Xia He was furious: "Miss, they are too shameless. What's the difference between them and robbers? This is the first time I've heard of someone breaking the lock and taking away the daughter-in-law's dowry!"

Chunlan tapped her forehead with her finger and said with a smile:

"The young lady has already told us in advance. Since we know this will happen, why should we get angry? If people act recklessly, they will be retaliated! Let's just wait for the next step!"

Nanny Zhou was sitting nearby making tiger-head shoes. Seeing the two of them like this, she smiled and comforted them:

"Since the young lady can predict their every move, it means she knows the nature of these people very well. Since there is no hope, there is no disappointment. Once the plan succeeds, our young lady can jump out of this fire pit!"

Su Qingling raised the corner of his mouth slightly, but his nonchalant look made people feel even more distressed!

Which noble lady would be schemed against by her husband's family after getting married? If it was just for money, it would be fine, but they also wanted to kill for money, which is disgusting!

"How can my things be taken so easily? My belongings were worth tens of thousands of taels. It's just right that I don't have to move big and small items when I go out of the house in the future. Isn't it just right for her to help me deal with them?"

By then, they will not be able to come up with the money, and they will have to mortgage a few of the shops that their families depend on for survival. By then, it will be a dog-eat-dog fight to see them fall from the clouds and into the quagmire. Just thinking about it will make you feel happy!

Soon, it was the third day. Xie Xiaolian came to his mother's yard in high spirits and saw the mistress of the house waiting there early!

"Mom, are you ready for the ten thousand taels?"

Liu Diejing wanted to give a few more instructions:

"I have prepared the silver. This is a good opportunity. I have also collected my own money for you. Finally, I have collected 20,000 taels! But you need to be more careful. If you sell the imported goods, I will have to ask someone to redeem your sister-in-law's dowry, otherwise she will find out and make you feel guilty!"

Xie Xiaolian was overjoyed and said happily:

"Don't worry, mother. As long as we get the goods, we can make at least three times the profit. In less than ten days, your son will be able to earn at least 60,000 taels!"
