After rebirth, dribbling and leaving

Chapter 180 Asking for dowry

The next day, after breakfast, Su Qingling asked Xia He to comb her hair into a cross bun, and inserted a kingfisher-emerald ruby ​​comb in the middle of her hair, and decorated it with a few coral hairpins inlaid with rice beads.

She wore coral earrings of the same color on her ears, drew on her eyebrows and dotted her lips, and wore a jade-colored ruyi cloud-patterned top and a bluish-white long skirt with peach blossom patterns. Xia He also matched a thin silver chain with eight-leaf peach blossoms around Su Qingling's neck. She looked gentle, generous and noble!

Su Qingling looked at herself in the bronze mirror, smiled with satisfaction, and said to the waiting maids, "Let's go to Jinxiu Hall!"

In the Jinxiu Hall, Su Qingling sat on the large carved chair at the head of the guests, looking coldly at the cowardly appearance of Lord Xie and his wife, and suddenly laughed!

"Thank you, Lord Marquis. Qing Ling has kindly given you a few days to prepare. I think you should have arranged my dowry. There is no need to look at me as if I were your mortal enemy!"

"Su, you have been the wife of the Xie family for three years. You can't be so ruthless, right? You know what has happened in the mansion these days. Are you trying to force us to death?"

Liu Diejing had already heard her son's reply and had no room for rebuttal, so she could only close the door and act like a spoiled child. Perhaps the Su family would still take her into consideration!

"What a scoundrel you are! If you really cared about friendship, you wouldn't be framing my young lady everywhere. Now you are using friendship as an excuse. Even I, your servant, am ashamed for you!"

Nanny Zhou was so angry that she sneered, raised her chin slightly, looked at the family with contempt, and mocked them without any hesitation!

"Shut up, the master is speaking, why is it your turn as an old killer to speak?"

Liu Diejing didn't want to make things awkward now, so she couldn't be too harsh on Su Qingling. It was outrageous that a servant dared to jump out and make trouble!

Seeing that Nanny Zhou was about to retort, Su Qingling raised her hand to stop her. She was not angry, but just looked at them coldly and chuckled:

"You probably forgot that Xie Xuanping's case of framing me has not yet been concluded. I am just waiting for you, the victim, to go and ask about it in detail. By then..."

Su Qingling paused, looked at Xie Xuanping, and also looked at Aunt Ke who had no sense of presence on the side!

Xie Xuanping's heart tightened. He thought that the two men had taken the blame and the matter was over. Unexpectedly, Su was still not willing to give in!

Aunt Ke is having a lot of thoughts at the moment. If she doesn't find a way to get the two children back now, things will become even more difficult once Su leaves!

He sneaked up and whispered something to Xie Xuanping, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes!

Xie Xuanping's eyes flickered slightly, his face was gloomy, and after a moment, he said to Liu Diejing:

"Mother, Su has already given a few days' grace. The dowry is her property, so give it back to her, or people will say that our mansion is unkind!"

Liu Diejing was surprised: "What did you say? You know the situation in our house, what is the situation now? Where can we get the money to fill this hole?"

Xie Xuanping's face darkened. Su had said that the case had not been closed yet. The meaning was very clear. If the dowry was not returned, she would not let go. But even at this time, the mother did not care at all, which showed that she was still partial to the second child!

Suppressing his unhappiness, he looked at Lord Xie and said, "Father, please try to persuade mother. If she continues to make trouble like this, I'm afraid our mansion will lose all its dignity!"

There are many meanings in these words, and only they themselves know it!

Xie Xuanping looked at Su Qingling again, smiling, but his eyes were cold:

"Ling'er, everything that happened before was my fault. It's just that too many things have happened these days, and mother just can't accept it for the time being. Your dowry was in a hurry, so I embezzled a lot of it. How about we use the farm and shop to pay for it?"

He knew that his mother had left him some valuable farms and shops, so maybe if they were put together, it would be enough!

Su Qingling didn't waste any words and responded, "Yes!"

Then Xie Xuanping continued, "There is one more thing. I like the two children you bought a few days ago very much. Please give them to me. There are no children in the mansion so far. Letting those two keep me company can also comfort me a little!"

Su Qingling raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Master Xie is such a filial son. Even now that he is in this state, he still wants to give two children to your mother. Could it be that these two children have something to do with you?"

Xie Xuanping was shocked. Could it be that this woman discovered something?

"Ling'er, our family is in such a state right now. Mother is exhausted. I just thought that she has always liked children. With someone to accompany her, she will be in a good mood. Don't think too much!"

"Master Xie has a bad memory. Now, our young lady has divorced you. From now on, please don't call our young lady by her maiden name!"

Xia He could no longer suppress her anger, and while giving reminders, she also stabbed him in the back with a sarcasm!

Su Qingling did not stop him, but just smiled and said, "Mr. Xie, did you hear clearly? Now, let's take it step by step. Let's talk about my dowry first!"

Over there, Lord Xie's face had turned ashen. He yelled at his wife to quickly get the house deeds and land deeds. In his heart, he cursed this woman for being so short-sighted. She still couldn't understand the situation at this time!

The second son has been disabled, and the eldest son's future is worrying. The illegitimate son Ming'er is a good student with a bright future. Now that the emperor has demoted himself, it means that he has set his sights on the Marquis' Mansion. If the Marquis' Mansion makes a big fuss again at this time, I am afraid that Ming'er will be implicated as well!

The hope of the Marquis' Mansion now rests entirely on Ming Ge'er, and we cannot afford to let him fail again!

Liu Diejing was scolded and her face turned pale. Although she was not convinced, she could only go to her bedroom and take out the wooden box containing the house deeds and land deeds!

Just as he was about to hand it to Lord Xie, Xie Xiaolian, who was recuperating in his room, shouted, "I can't give it to you!" He rushed out and staggered over to grab the box, which scared everyone!

Lord Xie was so frightened that he hid aside with the box in his arms. However, he had been drained of alcohol and sex over the years and his reaction was slow, so Xie Xiaolian snatched the box away from him!

Xie Xiaolian had been beaten to a pulp by his father and was recovering from his injuries in the house. His mother didn't tell him that anything happened today!

Unexpectedly, two maids were whispering outside the house, their voices were not loud but just loud enough for him to hear. They said that Su wanted a dowry, but they were afraid that the mansion would not be able to give anything by then and would have to use the farms and shops to offset it. By then, they were afraid that the mansion would not even be able to support the servants!

Xie Xiaolian was so anxious that he ignored the injury on his back and rushed to Jinxiu Hall. When he saw the box his mother gave to his father, he didn't care about anything else and rushed over to grab it!

At this time, Xie Xiaolian hugged the wooden box tightly, and the wound on his back that had just scabbed over was torn, causing him to grimace in pain!

"Hiss...Father, this is all we have. If we give it to him, how can we live?"

Lord Xie looked at this rebellious son, and was furious, but he did not step forward, he just glared and cursed:

"You rebellious son, you did all this, and now you are trying to stop us. Even if our mansion is reduced to begging for food, do you really want to return the dowry?"
