As soon as he had finished saying this, he saw two family members come in with one of them.

The two of them walked to the hall and pushed with their hands, and the man's knees weakened, and he knelt on the ground, and knelt with Wang Fu.

Lu Jiashi frowned and asked, "What's going on?" The subordinate who took the person at the bottom replied: "Go back to the old lady, the little one is patrolling the corner gate tonight, and when it comes to the third watch, I will meet this guy looking at the head of our house, ghostly, not like a good person." The little one was suspicious and stepped forward to investigate. Who knew that this guy probably had a ghost in his heart, so he pulled out his feet and ran. The little ones came forward and took him, twisted him in, and asked the old lady to send him down. ”

The man knelt on the ground, shaking a ball, and before he could ask questions, he hurriedly kowtowed: "The villain is not a thief, it is the young grandmother of the house who sent someone to send a message out, and asked the little third watch to guard the corner gate and send some things to my master." The little ones only do what they are told, and they don't steal. ”

When they heard this, they were silent. Liu Shi was very proud, glanced at Xia Chunchao, and saw that her face was pale, so he smiled and said: "Look, this is right, what else is there to say?!" Before he finished speaking, he scolded: "You have been talking about thousands of people all day, and now you are also slapping your mouth!" The oath made by the right person to bluff the son of man is clean but a false abandonment! Pretending to be a chaste martyr is just a □□! Brother Yong just walked on the front foot, and you made such a thing on the back foot, can't you wait so much?! I'm afraid that the past is not nothing, but we don't know! ”

Lu Jiashi was embarrassed to hear her scolding, glanced at her, and Liu immediately shut up. Lu Jiashi said to the man again: "You said that the young grandmother asked you to send things to your master, but you don't know who your master is?" But the man hung his head and kept silent.

Lu Jiashi asked a few more words, but the man couldn't help it, and said: "The villain knows that this matter can't be put on the table, and he doesn't dare to cause trouble for his master." The villain also knows the severity, and he doesn't bother you to do it, so I will give you an explanation. Before he could finish his sentence, the man suddenly jumped up from the ground, hit his head on the pillar of the lobby, and when he landed, his head was bleeding and he fainted to the ground.

Everyone in the hall was unaware of this change, and suddenly became chaotic, shouting: "Drag this person down, don't startle the old lady!" ”

Seeing this, Lu Jiashi clasped his hands together, kept chanting the Buddha, and said, "What are you all messing up with!" Carry this man to a clean place, find a doctor and see, don't let people die in our house!" Everyone agreed, and carried the man down, and another said: "It's irrelevant, this person's injury looks bluffing, but it's not serious, and you can stop the bleeding by putting a handful of grass and wood ashes." ”

After a long time of chaos like this, the people below said back and forth: "That person's bleeding has stopped, and the injury is not in the way, but he is still asleep, and I am afraid that I will not be able to ask questions." ”

Lu Jiashi recited the Buddha's name and sighed: "It's good that no one is killed, otherwise wouldn't it be our industry?" As he spoke, he glanced at Lu Huancheng and Xia Chunchao, and said, "Well, it seems that this matter can't be explained for a while." Let's go back and rest for the time being, and when the day comes, we will make a decision. Spring Dynasty girl, don't go out these days, just stay at home and avoid suspicion. ”

When Lu Huancheng and his wife heard this, they were about to respond. Xia Chunchao suddenly sneered and said, "If you want to avoid any suspicion, you just have to convict me!" When I'm blind, can't I see? Taking advantage of the efforts of the past few days, I colluded with a few more people, and fabricated some evidence, and sat my crime to death, and I am still asleep! Your family, young and old, are you all night playing this play with me, aren't you bent on driving me away? You don't have to do any of that, I'll go! ”

When her words landed, everyone in the hall was stunned.

Lu Jiashi lowered his face and said in a deep voice: "Spring Dynasty girl, what are you talking about?!" Even if you are angry, you shouldn't be so open-mouthed. What do you mean by you walking? This family member, which one said he wanted you to leave? ”

Xia Chun nodded at her and smiled: "Old lady, I still respect you today, old lady." You look at what you're saying behind your back, and I don't know anything? In the past, I was in the way, and I respect you as an elder, I don't care! Since you have pinched this trap today, you will definitely put me inside, so we don't need to be polite. Earlier, when I had a treat at home, I said, you think I'm an eyesore, just say it, don't bother, I won't be shameless and unwilling to leave here. What's more, you are proud of your official eunuchs, your status is noble, and you look down on my merchant's daughter. Don't you know that I, the daughter of a merchant, still don't look down on you poor begging and saving face! ”

Her words were very serious, Lu Jia's whole body trembled with anger, and her lips trembled and she couldn't speak. Lu Huancheng couldn't hold back his face, and opened his mouth to scold: "How are you talking to the old lady?!" As a daughter-in-law, there is no big or small like this, what kind of system does it become? ! ”

Xia Chunchao saw that Lu Huancheng hadn't spoken all night, so he opened his mouth and lifted the master's shelf, sneered, and said, "That's it, Master Lu, you don't have to mix up any father-in-law shelves here." Family, who doesn't know that you are an immortal? In the past, you didn't care about everything, why did you frame your daughter-in-law for fornicating with someone now, and you ran backwards in the head? How can there be a head of a family like you in this world?! After that, he ignored Lu Huancheng and only said to Lu Jia's family: "Old Madam Lu, now that the matter is over, we don't have to be polite." It's easy for you to let me go, but I've been in the Lu family for many years, and the dowry that my mother's family has given me is almost all in. Since you want to drive me away today, you have to pay me back one by one. This is the righteousness of the world, even if you go to court to fight a lawsuit, you will not be reasonable. ”

"When I entered the door, my mother's family gave me a total of 2,000 taels of silver for the dowry, and then I counted the gold and silver jewelry, jewelry and playthings, and it was about 5,000 taels inside and out. I still have some jewels left with me, and I reckon it is worth three hundred taels of silver. There are still a thousand taels of silver in the treasury, and I will have someone carry it later. Those bed tents, bedding, and dressing tables, converted into silver, did not have much money. Although they are all made of fine pear blossom wood, these few taels of silver, I can still afford to pay for them in the Xia Chun Dynasty, and I will reward you, so I should keep them for entertaining the bride in the future. The dry goods shop was also opened with my dowry. Naturally, I can't take the shop, but the profit over the years is not counted as much, not to mention 10,000 silver. I don't want all the money you have used to eat or build your house all these years, but you can't help but pay me back the fifteen thousand taels of silver. Speaking of this, she smiled slightly, and said sarcastically: "No one in this family understands the foundation better than me." I know that you won't be able to take it out in an instant, so it's better to follow the precedent, type an IOU, sign it, and I'll leave immediately. ”

When the Liu clan heard that she begged to go by herself, she was full of joy, and when she heard that she had calculated such a daily account, she had to pay 15,000 taels of silver inside and out, and suddenly she was like cutting the flesh of her heart, and said: "Your lion has a big mouth, where is it 15,000 taels of silver?!" What is 15,000 taels of silver?! Why do we give you 15,000 taels of silver?! You're going to get out of the door today, and don't even think about taking any money! Even if you have these hairpin ring jewelry, don't even think about taking them out! As he spoke, he rushed up and wanted to pull out the jewelry on Xia Chun's head.

Zhu'er and Bao'er were standing beside them, how could they sit back and watch their masters suffer, and stepped forward to pull Liu's left and right, and pressed her to move.

Liu was so anxious that he called out and called for someone to come up and help. However, all the people of the Lu family were used by Xia Chunchao, and they only listened to her dispatch, except for those who were temporarily bought by Lu Jia's family, and none of them listened to her orders. Even these people, because they saw that Lu Jia was speechless, they refused to step forward.

Seeing this, Xia Chunchao smiled slightly, and said to Lu Jia's family: "Old woman Lu, you are the only sensible person in this family. You should also know that according to the laws of this dynasty, whether it is divorce or divorce, the dowry must always be returned to the daughter-in-law's mother's family. is to go to court to start a lawsuit, how the official will judge, Mrs. Lu knows in her heart. You are a face-saving person, don't lose your identity for the sake of coveting these 'copper smells' in your mouths. ”

Lu Jia's face was full of wrinkles from her anger, and she couldn't stop trembling, but what she said was all reasonable, even if this matter stabbed the emperor, the silver would always be returned to the Xia family. Now she is full of heart, as long as she sends this granddaughter-in-law out quickly, so as to welcome the marquis's daughter and Zhang Xueyan, who is pregnant with her own flesh and blood, into the door, and she doesn't dare to make any more extraneous branches. At that moment, she trembled and stood up and asked sharply: "In this way, you are willing to beg, don't stalk on my door in the future!" If you leave this door today, you will not be a member of my family, and you will be right and wrong again in the future, but don't blame us for not recognizing people! When Xia Chunchao heard this, he knew that she was very inward-looking, smiled, and said, "Old Madam Lu's words are really strange, is your family a noble family?" has been a broken household for several lifetimes, but he has only become a poor official, and he has become wider, thinking that everyone is rare! Quickly return the money to me, and I will go. In the future, you just took an eight-person sedan chair to carry me, and the family knelt on the door of my Xia family, and you don't want me to come back! ”

Lu Jiashi was angry with her, but fortunately Yingxia was supported by the side, and said tremblingly: "Okay, okay, isn't it just 15,000 taels of silver, my Lu family ......" She was about to say, "My Lu family took it", but after thinking about it, she really couldn't take out the money. At that moment, he had to swallow these words with hatred, and shouted to the family members standing on the side: "What are you doing standing still?!" Dead can't be! Why don't you hurry up and bring a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and write an IOU to this shrew! ”

The family was about to leave, and Xia Chunchao said with a smile: "Wait, the debts in this world are difficult to collect, not to mention such a large amount of money, I am afraid that I will not be able to recover it in the future." In this way, Mrs. Lu, Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu, the jewelry, ornaments in your house, and the unused gold and silver utensils piled up in the warehouse can still be worth a few thousand silver, and they are all loaded with me, how much can they be worth. For the rest, write an IOU. Then she ordered her servants to go to the storehouse and carry things in the courtyards.

These subordinates were accustomed to hearing her orders on weekdays, and they only heard an order and set off. They searched the backyard of the Lu Jia clan and the upper room and warehouse of the Liu family, and packed two or three boxes of all kinds of belongings, and carried them to the hall together with the one thousand taels of silver.

The three members of the Lu family looked at the piles of belongings in the hall, their eyes were red with anxiety, but they were helpless.

Xia Chunchao looked at it slowly, estimated the price, and said: "For the sake of the past, I will count these as two thousand taels of silver, and now Mrs. Lu will write an IOU of ten thousand taels of silver, and we will settle it twice." ”

Lu Jia trembled, took the pen and fell to the ground, unable to write a word for half a day. After all, it was Lu Huancheng who wrote the IOU, signed and signed it, and handed it over to Xia Chunchao.

Xia Chunchao folded the IOU, put it in his arms, and instructed outside: "Go and put the carriage on it, I will go back to my parents' house immediately!" The outsider didn't come back to his senses, and said yes and went.

Lu Jia's face was hideous, stared at her and asked, "Now that I have taken advantage of your intentions, what do you want to say?" Xia Chunchao sneered: "Don't worry about this, when I go back to my parents' house, someone will naturally send the documents for Heli." However, one thing to make clear in advance is that I am not going here because I have done anything wrong, but because your family is not worthy of a daughter-in-law like me! After that, she stopped looking at everyone in the hall with her eyes, and asked her family to carry the box out of the house.

Walking to the second door, I suddenly heard a voice behind me: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, wait!" ”

When Xia Chunchao heard this, he turned around and looked around, and saw Sister Lu Hong running panting with her clothes on, her hair scattered, and her skirt in her hand.

Sister Lu Hong ran to her, and before she could open her mouth, tears welled up first, wiping her eyes and asking, "Is my sister-in-law really going?" Xia Chunchao has always been good with this sister-in-law, she was angry in the hall for half the night, and at this moment she thought of this and this sister-in-law was only afraid that it would be difficult to see each other again, so she couldn't help but reddened her eyes, nodded and said: "This family can't accommodate me, so I have to go." My sister-in-law originally thought that she must find a good family for you. Now it seems that it can't be, this family, your father and mother are the first fool in the world, and your grandmother is also unreliable, so you have to be more careful. Wait until your brother comes back, and that'll be fine. Sister Lu Hong heard the news in the house, and only said that this sister-in-law was wronged somehow, and ran over to inquire, but seeing that she was still full of plans for herself, she couldn't help but feel bitter and couldn't cry, and said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry about me, you're right, there is nothing to leave in this family." Sister-in-law go, with sister-in-law's character talents, are you afraid that you won't have a good life when you go out? Let's go, sister-in-law take care of herself, don't be angry with yourself for this pickled matter. ”

The two sisters-in-law said a few words hand in hand, seeing that the sky in the east was already white, and several elders of the Lu family kept urging them, Xia Chunchao said goodbye to Sister Lu Hong and went out.

Walking to the gate, the Lu family's carriage had already been set. Xia Chunchao was about to board the car, and when the Liu family saw that she had carried away a lot of money and goods, she couldn't swallow this breath in her heart, chased to the gate, and scolded: "Sure enough, she is a slut from a family of three indiscriminates, she only knows money in her eyes, and she can't get out if she falls into the eyes of money, so don't lift shoes for our family!" Phew, something! ”

Xia Chunchao listened to her scolding dirty, looked back and shouted: "You put your mouth clean, I am now a girl of the Xia family, not the daughter-in-law of your Lu family, I can't help you lead your scalp and scold like this!" After speaking, Xiang Zhu'er made a look.

Zhu'er understood, stepped forward, and said to the Liu family with a smile: "Madam, I'm sorry." Raising his hand was a slap in the face, knocking Liu to the ground.

This slap was very heavy, and the corners of Liu's mouth were swollen and his sideburns were scattered.

Liu He had suffered such a big loss, and he sat on the ground and cried and scolded. The family at the door didn't look like her, so they all avoided her.

Xia Chunchao immediately instructed the coachman, carried a cart full of belongings, and left.
