Qingyun Hou angrily broke into the backyard, startling Mrs. Hou, who was explaining the matter to a slave.

She hurriedly got up and saluted, but saw that Hou Ye was sitting down and ignored her. Instead, he grimaced his face and shouted at the slaves, "Get out!"

Everyone looked at each other, and when they heard the words, they immediately scattered.

"Master Hou, ...... you" Mrs. Hou had just opened her mouth when a teacup flew towards the door in front of her. In an instant, the teacup was thrown down, but the tea was spilled all over the body. Frightened, she "plopped" and knelt down heavily.

"Master Hou, I don't know what a big mistake the concubine made, and you are so angry with Master Hou?"

"Let me ask you, what's the deal with Wanru's dowry?"

Wanru, Mrs. Hou was stunned for a while before remembering that Wanru was the name of Master Hou's predecessor. I couldn't help but panic in my heart, how could Hou Ye ask about this matter for no reason.

"What are you thinking, why don't you answer Ben Hou's question?"

"Wanru's sister's dowry, of course, is in the treasury. The concubine couldn't answer for a while, but she didn't know what the purpose of Hou Ye's question was. Mrs. Hou replied cautiously.

"What about the two shops and the two farms that accompanied the marriage? Are they still there......

Hou Ye dragged out his voice, and his sharp eyes stared at Mrs. Hou's face tightly, as if he wanted to see something from it.

"Master Hou, what shop, what farm, why can't the concubine understand?"

Mrs. Hou was shocked, how did the Hou Ye, who never cared about these miscellaneous things in the house, know that there were shops and farms in the slut's dowry? Who told him that Mama Xu, who knew these things, had already been disposed of by her own thoughts?

Isn't Hou Ye Mo deceiving himself?

"Master Hou, the concubine has been trusted by Lord Hou since she was trusted. Since taking charge of the Hou Mansion, I feel a great responsibility. Always warn yourself and don't feel the slightest slack. Now that he was scolded by the Hou Ye like this, the concubine was wronged. ”

After all, there was a little tear in his eyes, so he was not miserable. Even Qingyunhou, a cold-blooded and hardened man, faintly felt a little pity in his heart when he saw it.

Is my brother-in-law mistaken?

Mrs. Hou, who still had tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, saw that Hou Ye's cold and hard face showed signs of easing. I was secretly happy in my heart, but my face was even more sad.

The concubine also knew that she was a stepmother, and it was a little inappropriate to reach out and manage her sister's dowry. But Jin'er is young, and she is so well-behaved and obedient, and the concubine is very fond of it. Her request for a concubine was unreasonable. But I don't know who I offended because of this, and I slandered my concubine so much in front of the Hou Ye......"

"Hehe, I've seen shameless. I've never seen such a brazen one, but today really opened the eyes of the old body!" With a loud and angry voice, several little girls walked in with a silver-haired old lady around. And the one who followed behind her with her head down and without saying a word was the eldest lady of the Qingxing Hou Mansion, Miss Yunjin.

Qingyunhou was originally a little displeased, who was so bold that he dared not follow his own words. But when he saw the comer, he was shocked, and hurriedly strode up to meet him.

"Mother-in-law, I didn't know that you came to the house, and my son-in-law couldn't go to greet you. You ......"

"Hehe, it doesn't matter if Master Hou welcomes it or not. As long as the mother-in-law who still recognizes the old body and doesn't care about the old body and comes uninvited......"

"The old lady's words are really tormenting for the little son-in-law, please take a seat. Qingyunhou was shocked in his heart, and his mother-in-law, who had always been gentle, was angry at this time, and her tone was contemptuous and disdainful. This is really something that has never happened before, is it true that what my brother-in-law said?

It seems that her stepwife is not what she thinks. Thinking of the blindness that I have been subjected to, I have to tell myself from outsiders. His face suddenly felt hot, and his heart was angry. The little mercy that I had just had was long gone.

Mrs. Hou was still happy in her heart, because she knew that Hou Ye hated people the most not following his instructions. thought that the arrogance of the people would definitely anger the Hou Ye. I won't take her word for it.

But Hou Ye's respectful "mother-in-law" title dispelled her full of illusions. And the silver-haired old lady's contemptuous and hateful gaze sent a chill through her heart.

Sure enough, the old lady took a sip of the freshly brewed tea in her hand. looked around for a while, and then said slowly to Qingyun Hou, who was standing respectfully on the side.

"Didn't Mrs. Hou say that my daughter's dowry was carefully stored in the treasury by you? Then why do I feel that the exquisite screen in your room and the jade carvings on the treasure shelves are all like my Wan'er's dowry? Jin'er, why did your mother's jade bracelet end up on this woman's hand? That was handed over to you when your mother was leaving. That's our Shen family's stuff!"

Good question! Yun Jin was secretly happy in his heart. Liu Yiyi, how you eat it, I'll let you spit it out. I always want to pretend to be virtuous in front of my father, and today I will take off your hypocritical and vicious mask.

Yun Jin took a few steps forward and came to Mrs. Hou. Tearfully whispered: "Mother said that she was going to a banquet, if she didn't have a decent piece of jewelry, she would be laughed at and lose the face of the Qingxing Marquis." ”

After hesitating for a while, he said again.

Mother didn't dare to disobey, and Jin'er couldn't do anything, so she had to let her mother and Ping'er's sister choose four or five from the jewelry box. But they said they would pay it back afterwards. It's just that I haven't seen it yet. ”

After that, he also glanced at Mrs. Hou cautiously, and the fear of Mrs. Hou in his eyes was clearly seen by everyone present.

"What's more? It's just a few pieces of jewelry, do you need to be so excited?" said Mrs. Hou nonchalantly.

In an instant, Qingyun Hou's face was as dark as ink, and he looked angrily at Mrs. Hou, who still didn't know whether she was alive or dead.
