40. Ask for a dowry

"Since Miss Bao already understands what my wife means, then we don't need to say more. www.biquge.info The snarky man stepped forward and smiled, "Please also ask Miss Bao to return the things sent by the Zhou family as soon as possible." ”

Su Pan'er was waiting for their words, and then turned her head to the housekeeper who was waiting beside her and said happily, "Butler, do you understand?" Since the Zhou family has expressed their stance like this, we don't force it, let's return the dowry or anything to them...... "Heh~ She wished that they would withdraw from the marriage, thinking that she was pretending to be crazy and spilling at the wedding, it is estimated that even a fool now knows that she doesn't want to marry Tuesday Shao." She was originally worried that they would wait until they found Zhou Shao before continuing to force marriage, but she didn't expect the Zhou family to let go so easily this time. It seems that Master Zhou's violent death has dealt a very big blow to the Zhou family, and Mrs. Tuesday only wants to preserve the strength of the Zhou family now, so she resolutely gave up the original plan to swallow the fat of the Bao family. Anyway, she didn't want the things that were sent on Tuesday at all, so let them go back if they wanted to.

"Miss!" The housekeeper's face changed, and he hurriedly pulled her aside, and said with a sad face, "Miss, we don't have a dowry to return at all......"

"How could it not be? Shouldn't all these things be stored in the warehouse? Su Pan'er asked strangely.

"Alas, this dowry was handed over to the Xin family at that time, and it was stored in the small treasury in the inner courtyard. But after the Xin family was arrested, when the old slave counted the things in the inner courtyard, he found that the dowry gift sent by the Zhou family had already been stolen by the Xin family and sold, and the cost was seventy-seven, eighty-eight. Now there are things that are worthless at all, where can we find those dowry gifts and return them for a while? The whole butler sighed when he said that.

"How so?" Su Pan'er gasped, and her heart was half cold. She had just personally agreed to the two subordinates of the Zhou family, saying that she would return everything to them as a dowry......

At that time, the old slave saw that the old man had been relapsed by Xin's qi, so he did not report the matter to the master. And the Xin family has been taken into custody by the government, and this dowry should not be recovered. Then too many things happened in the house one after another, and the old slave was so busy that he never looked for a chance to tell the young lady. The whole housekeeper continued, as if he was a little remorseful.

“…… This week's dowry must always be returned to the original owner. The whole steward, first return the dowry they sent and the rest of the dowry. We'll pay the rest of the difference later. Su Pan'er frowned and pondered for a moment, planning to use the procrastination trick first. Drag it out for as long as you want. Before, the housekeeper seemed to have mentioned that the Zhou family was very generous and sent a dowry worth 100,000 taels to the door. And now the Bao family's only remaining silver taels are only 50,000. If you want to repay the dowry of the Zhou family, I am afraid that the Bao family will not only go bankrupt immediately, but also owe the Zhou family a lot of silver taels.

"Miss Bao, I don't know if you have discussed it with Steward Zhou? It was not early, and our husband and wife agreed that they would transport things back to Zhou's mansion at noon today. I also hope that Miss Bao can quickly order her subordinates to bring out the dowry and dowry, so that we can hand over and count. The man, as if he couldn't wait, stepped forward and interrupted her whispered conversation with the housekeeper.

"They are Mrs. T.T.'s distant relatives, Mr. and Mrs. Zheng, who specialize in doing things for Mrs. T.T. In the Zhou Mansion, he is notoriously bitter and unforgiving, and very difficult. It seems that this time Mrs. Tuesday is very determined to return the dowry. The young lady had better leave first, and leave the couple to the old slave to pass away. The whole housekeeper seemed to see Su Paner's embarrassment and took the initiative to take the matter over.

Su Paner was a little moved by the thoughtfulness and maintenance of the housekeeper, but if she really did it, she was afraid that she would always despise herself in her heart. Rejected the housekeeper's proposal and asked him to do as she had previously suggested.

Turning around, Su Pan'er said with a pale face, "I'm sorry, I was confused for a while, and I forgot that my father stored most of the dowry in a warehouse outside the Bao Mansion before." Today, I may only be able to return the dowry and a small part of the dowry sent the day before yesterday, and I will send someone to deliver the rest of the dowry to the Zhou Mansion in person in a few days. Don't worry, you two. ”

"Isn't Miss Mo playing with us?! Just now he said that he wanted to return all the dowry to us, and when he turned around, he immediately changed his mind. As a person in charge, how can he be so untrustworthy?! The Zheng woman immediately jumped to her feet and widened her eyes.

"Today we must bring everything in the booklet back to the Zhou Mansion. If the dowry is not in the Bao Mansion, please ask Miss Bao to send someone to lead the couple to the treasury to count, and there is no need to bother the Bao Mansion to send it back to the Zhou Mansion the next day. Zheng Wu followed with an urgent stare at the human.

Su Paner didn't expect these two people to be entangled to the end, and put on a look that they would not give up if they didn't see the dowry today. Coughed, and could only continue to make excuses, "That warehouse is far away from Baofu, and it will take at least a day to come and go." I have sent someone to collect the dowry that was sent the day before yesterday, so you might as well take it back with you first. We'll send the rest tomorrow. ”

"Yes, yes, you might as well sit down and rest for a while, and the servants will soon bring the dowry." The whole housekeeper laughed along.

The Zheng couple did not give up, and when they saw them prevaricating like this, they became suspicious in their hearts. The Zheng woman was originally an unreasonable person, but now she was in trouble on the spot, and she didn't save Su Pan'er any face. He fell to the ground and cried and cried. said that Bao Fu deliberately delayed the time, it was clearly a dowry. If they don't get all of them back to the Zhou Mansion today, how can the two of them deal with Mrs. Tuesday?!

Zheng Wu didn't persuade her, she only sneered and looked at Su Paner and the housekeeper, and exposed Su Paner's ugly appearance at the wedding yesterday, implying that she was deliberately planning the 100,000 taels of dowry in the Zhou Mansion, and in order to hide people's eyes, she only paid back the dowry worth only 10,000 taels first. Delay one more day, and when they deliver the dowry to the door, they may all be stolen and replaced with fakes.

The more the Zheng couple's words were spoken, the more unpleasant they became, Su Pan'er didn't expect them to turn their faces and say anything. Suddenly, some of his head was big, and he patiently persuaded her, and asked the little servant to help the woman up from the ground. The woman opened her throat and said that the Bao family had seen through their intentions and wanted to kill them for money, so they sealed their mouths.

The green tendons on Su Pan'er's forehead twitched. This woman's imagination is too rich, and if she doesn't pay them back the dowry, she says that she wants to take care of their Zhou family's things, and when she helps her up, she says that she will murder them. Isn't it at the end of the paranoia of victimization?

Zheng Wu saw that the situation was not good, so he had to run out of the hall to find the servants of the Zhou family who were waiting for them at the corner gate outside the courtyard to help. Fortunately, the whole housekeeper was prepared and stopped him in time.

stroked her forehead, Su Paner's already little patience was polished away. Unable to stand the unreasonable quarrel between these two people and the woman's loud voice, she closed her eyes, and Su Pan'er motioned to the little maid to plug the lady's mouth first and press Zheng Wu on the seat. Damn, how could the Zhou Mansion use two such faceless people? Tell them well, they don't listen, and they have to force her to be rude. She's obviously a person who likes to be reasonable?

I was about to try to negotiate peacefully with them again, but I don't know if Zheng's voice was too penetrating or if they had already ventilated, the Zhou family servants who were originally waiting at the corner gate rushed over, and when they saw that their foreman was being suppressed, they immediately became angry, rolled up their sleeves and joined the battle. The two servants of the Bao family usually only do the work of guarding the door, and they can't be compared with the servants of the Zhou family who specialize in rough work. Within two blows, they were subdued, and the situation suddenly turned one-sided. Seeing that the situation was not good, the housekeeper hurriedly blocked in front of Su Paner, and loudly called the other family members who were guarding the gate of the courtyard to come over and help.

The Zheng couple in front of them were out of control, staring at them fiercely one by one, pressing towards the housekeeper and her step by step. Su Paner turned her head and wanted Xianglian to summon the third aunt or other family members, but she couldn't find her no matter how she looked. ==This girl...... Escape so fast at this time......

"What's going on?" A voice of surprise and confusion suddenly came through the door. Looking up, I saw Li Shi with a surprised face, dressed in plain clothes, standing outside the door with Bao Tianxin delicately and softly.

How did she get here?
