The daughter of the firstborn is rebellious and is reborn to bury her whole family

The paper clearly stated that all her dowry would belong to Shen Qiyin, in case she got married in the future.

No one, not even her mother, can move without permission.

Isn't this blatantly taking advantage of someone's misfortune?

"I was heartbroken that your grandmother was plotting against my dowry, but I never thought that she was also plotting against her own child!"

"You are my biological daughter, how can you plot against me like an outsider?"

"Do you still have a conscience?"

Shen Qiyin curled her lips coldly and said, "You also know that I am your biological daughter, but aren't you also wary of me like you would be of an outsider?"

Mrs. Shen: "I..."

"You came to me to ask for my help, and I offered you a suggestion, but you started complaining before you even listened to it."

"Why don't you vent your temper on your grandmother and father?"

"You are so impressive that you can use your own daughter to vent your anger."

After being sarcastically rebuked by Shen Qiyin, Madam Shen lost her temper. She shrank there like a quail, and asked with a droopy face, "Then tell me, what is your idea?"

"I won't say anymore." Shen Qiyin simply took back the paper and tore it up with a "swish".

"Hey!" Mrs. Shen became anxious: "What are you doing?"

"Can't you see?" Shen Qiyin said coldly, "I don't want to do thankless things anymore."

"Since you are afraid that I will plot against you, then you can think of a solution yourself. I don't have the time to think of a solution for you and try to convince you to trust me."

"I'm tired and need to rest for a while. Remember to close the door for me when you leave, mother."

After saying that, Shen Qiyin stood up and was about to walk into the inner room.

Mrs. Shen suddenly panicked.

You know, Shen Qiyin was able to snatch the warehouse key from the old lady and give it to her with just a few words. One can't help but be convinced by such ability.

Therefore, Mrs. Shen was very smart this time. She quickly pulled the man back and apologized: "…I was just careless and said the wrong thing. Please don't take it to heart."

"Mother was really hurt by your grandmother, so she lost her mind for a moment."

"I don't have any reason to guard against anyone, but my own daughter, don't you think?"

As Mrs. Shen spoke, she carefully looked at Shen Qiyin's face. When she saw that she no longer insisted on leaving, she knew that she was reluctant to leave herself after all, and she felt a little relieved.

She coaxed Shen Qiyin to sit back down again, and when she spoke again, the word "be careful" was the best way to describe it.

"Yin'er, tell me in detail what your plan is."

"Mom promises you that this time I will listen to you and never interrupt you again."

"Just take the trouble to tell me, ok?"

Shen Qiyin glanced at Madam Shen's humble face, and seemed to be a little soft-hearted.

A sigh escaped her red lips. She held the torn piece of paper between her fingers and waved it in front of Mrs. Shen, saying, "I wrote this to protect my mother's reputation."

"Otherwise, after you are brought to justice, even if you are right, people will still say that you are greedy for material things and ignore the affection of your family."

Madam Shen was horrified: "Jing, Jing official?!"

"Yes." Shen Qiyin's black eyes were bright and his gaze was as sharp as a torch. "Your dowry was stolen. It must have been stolen by a thief in the mansion. How can we not report it to the police?"

"But...but my dowry is clearly from your grandmother..."

"Mother, be careful with your words!" Shen Qiyin interrupted her and hinted, "Don't dare to talk nonsense about things without evidence, otherwise you might get bitten back."

"Besides, since ancient times, there has been no rule that the husband's family can take the daughter-in-law's dowry without permission. If such a thing really happened, people would criticize her. How could my grandmother, who is such a proud person, do such a shameless thing?"

"So, most likely a thief broke into your house at night and stole your dowry."

"Or maybe someone close to my grandmother is dishonest and did something shameful behind her back."

"But no matter what the situation is, let's report it to the police."

Mrs. Shen repeated in a daze: "Report to the police..."

She didn't understand what it meant at first, but after a moment she suddenly realized it!

Indeed, she said that it was the old lady who stole her dowry, but she had no evidence and the other party would not only not admit it, but would also bite back and accuse her of being "unfilial".

But if she falsely claimed that there was a thief and asked the government to intervene, and they found out that the lost dowry was related to the old lady, then she would not be unfilial.

wonderful!

It’s really wonderful!

Shen Qiyin: "After mother reports to the police, if the police are more inclined to believe that grandma stole the property, you must remember to refute it strongly and do your best to defend grandma's reputation."

"It would be best to direct the blame towards the people around Grandmother, such as... Aunt Dai who was driven out of the mansion."

"When she can no longer bear the interrogation, she will confess that Grandmother embezzled your dowry. That will be a fact that is set in stone and cannot be reversed."

After hearing this, Madam Shen's eyes lit up frighteningly: "Yin'er, did you expect this day to come, so you let me take the lead and kick that old man out?"

"It doesn't matter. It's good enough to help my mother now."

"Good, good, good, you are worthy of being my good daughter!"

As she spoke, Madam Shen caught a glimpse of the piece of paper Shen Qiyin was playing with. She was still confused, "But Yin'er, mother still doesn't understand, what is the use of this certificate?"

Perhaps fearing that Shen Qiyin would be unhappy, she quickly added, "Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just that I can't figure it out for the moment."

"Otherwise, write a new one right away and I'll give it my fingerprints!"

Shen Qiyin was not as anxious as she said, and said slowly: "Mother, do you think that others are stupid? Although this trick of 'killing with a borrowed knife' can help you achieve your goal, it is hard to guarantee that it will not be seen through and discovered by others."

"Then people will not only say that your grandmother shamelessly seized the daughter-in-law's dowry, but they will also say that you are not a good person either. You used tricks and schemes to sue your own mother-in-law for a little money."

"Mother, listen for yourself. Do you think this reputation is good?"

Mrs. Shen frowned: "This..."

Shen Qiyin continued, "But if you have this piece of evidence, then even if your true intentions are known to others, they will only say that women are weak by nature, but they become strong as mothers."

"You are asking for the dowry not for yourself, but for your daughter to have someone to rely on when she gets married, so that she can have more confidence in her husband's family."

"Are you a little moved by what you said?"

Mrs. Shen nodded repeatedly.

She was more than just moved, she was excited!

"Yin'er, Yin'er, how could you have thought of such a thorough thing?" Mrs. Shen was so happy that her mouth was almost grinning to her ears: "Quick! Write another copy of this certificate."

"it is good."

Shen Qiyin went into the inner room and took out another piece of paper after a while.

Mrs. Shen hurriedly pressed her fingerprint.

Xianglan watched from the side and always felt that something was not right, but she did not have the kindness to remind Mrs. Shen.

Who told her, as a mother, to play tricks on her own daughter? She deserves to be cheated now!

Mrs. Shen felt that everything was ready, so she could not wait a moment and immediately ordered someone to report to the authorities.

Not long after, Qian Chuan and others arrived.

Standing in front of the gate of the Shen Mansion, Qian Chuan sighed in his heart: This Shen family is really a small temple with great evil spirits.

It's only been a few days and they've all come back here.

Besides, Old Madam Shen was drinking tonic soup in Zhuijin Hall. When she heard that the constables from Jingzhao Prefecture were here again, she couldn't swallow the soup anymore.

After careful questioning, he learned that it was Mrs. Shen who reported the matter to the authorities because of the dowry issue. The bowl in her hand fell immediately, and the hot soup spilled all over the floor.

"Hey, old lady..."

The maid was about to step forward to clean up, but was brushed away by Old Madam Shen.

"Get out of the way!" After saying that, she walked out in her slippers without even having time to put on her shoes.

When she arrived at the front yard, she happened to see Madam Shen indignantly saying to Qian Chuan: "Although the key to the storehouse was previously in the hands of our old lady, she couldn't have stolen my dowry. If she really did something so inhumane, would she still be able to keep her old face if it got out?"

"But the old woman around her can't help but pretend to obey her but actually disobey her."

"Others are fine, but that Madam Dai is the most arrogant. If you want to investigate, you must investigate her first!"

When Old Madam Shen heard this, she was so scared that her soul almost flew away!

If the constable wanted to question Nanny Dai, it would be a small matter if she revealed that she had embezzled her daughter-in-law's dowry. But if she was not careful with her mouth and told about the things that happened when she was young, that would be a big deal.

So, Old Madam Shen rushed into the house in two steps and said anxiously: "They are just servants, how can they have the courage to do that? Your dowry... was originally used by me temporarily..."

"What?!" Mrs. Shen was shocked and said, "It's you? How could you do this?"

"That's not what I am..."

"Do you know that the dowry was left by me to Yin'er?" She said, motioning Shen Qiyin to take out the receipt with her fingerprints to show it to Qian Chuan and the others, and cried, "I have been frugal and reluctant to touch the dowry, just so that Yin'er can rely on those things and not be looked down upon by her husband's family in the future. How could you use it without my permission and Yin'er's?"

“This wasn’t before…”

"I know you dislike me for not being able to give birth to a legitimate son for the Shen family, but my daughter-in-law is no worse than her two brothers. Now that Guangzong and Yaozu are in trouble, they still have to rely on my daughter-in-law to earn medical fees to support the family. Even if you are partial, there should be a limit. How can you cheat your granddaughter like this?"

"no……"

"It's all because of me as a useless mother! I can't even protect my own dowry. How can there be such a cowardly mother like me in this world?" Mrs. Shen cried and said, "What's the point of living? I might as well hang myself."

"That's enough, stop howling!" Old Madam Shen interrupted her chanting impatiently, "I'll just give it back to you."

Mrs. Shen was overjoyed when she heard this.

She got the advantage but still acted cute, saying: "It's not returned to me, it's returned to Yin'er. I won't spend the dowry, it's all left for her."

"Who cares who you two are? I don't owe you anything anyway."

"Yes." Madam Shen lowered her head and bowed, seemingly respectful, but she said, "I calculated according to the dowry list, and there is about five thousand taels of silver missing."

"There are not so many!"

"Why not?"

"Don't take the opportunity to ask for too much. I have some pawned notes now. You will know when you take them out." Old Madam Shen tried her best to prove that she did not take so many things. Little did she know that her actions were extremely unbearable in the eyes of Qian Chuan and others.

If life in this mansion was really difficult and people had no food to eat, then even though her dowry would not be decent, at least it had its reasons.

But when they went to Zhuijin Hall before, they had seen with their own eyes how exquisite the furnishings in the room were. It was obvious that the old lady was not short of money. She obviously had money of her own, but she was still thinking about her daughter-in-law's dowry. This was purely malicious.

But Madam Shen ordered someone to bring the pawn tickets, four in total, with a total value of 3,726 taels of silver.

She even asked Mrs. Shen in a tough tone: "Look for yourself, where is there more than five thousand taels?"

But this punch seemed to hit cotton.

Mrs. Shen responded casually: "Oh, maybe my wife was anxious and made a mistake in her calculation."

But in fact, she deliberately exaggerated.

This was also what Shen Qiyin taught her.

If she said too much, Madam Shen would have no choice but to produce the pawn ticket to prove her innocence. With the pawn ticket, Madam Shen could force her to redeem the things as soon as possible.

Because there is a date written on the ticket, you cannot redeem it at the original price after that date.

"Oh! It looks like the wedding day is just a few days away." Mrs. Shen looked anxious and was about to cry again: "What should I do? My poor daughter, without the dowry, how will she get married in the future?"

"Stop crying!" Old Madam Shen was so annoyed: "I'll ask someone to redeem you right now!"

But after she said it, she couldn't help but regret it.

If she went to redeem so many things with such fanfare, and someone with good intentions found out, wouldn't everyone outside know that she was exchanging her dowry for silver?

It would be better to just give her the silver directly. Whenever she needs it in the future, she can ask for it back. I believe she won't dare to refuse!

Thinking of this, Old Madam Shen said in a pretentious tone: "Forget it, it will take time to go back and forth, and I can't stand you crying like this."

"I'll give you the money directly, so you can stop crying."

When Mrs. Shen heard that there was money to be gained, she stopped wailing and just sobbed softly. Only when she saw the money did she stop crying completely.

Old Madam Shen asked someone to take three silver notes of one thousand taels and one silver note of five hundred taels, and the remaining two hundred and twenty-six taels were taken in cash.

When Mrs. Shen saw so much money, her eyes widened and her heart was immediately filled with joy.

She was happily preparing to take it, but unexpectedly, a clean, white hand reached out from the side, took the banknotes before her and put them into her pocket.
