Chapter 14: Get the dowry back
Qingyunhou never thought that his wife would be so greedy and stupid. The dowry of the former lady dared to be encroached upon so grandly. even dared to put it out aggressively. Let others easily catch the handle.
It's just fearless and arrogant.
Aren't you afraid that you will be discredited by others? What is even more odious is that just now you dared to cry out in front of yourself and cry out for injustice. I almost believed it. Thinking of this, the anger in my heart burned even hotter, and I really wanted to step forward and strangle this embarrassing thing.
But at this moment, he could only forcibly suppress the anger in his heart and solve the thorny problem at hand first. Didn't you see the old lady sitting there with a tiger's eye?
"Hand over the key to the treasury with the dowry. Hou Ye stretched out his hand and said through gritted teeth.
"Why? This is something from the Qingxing Hou Mansion! And I am the dignified Mrs. Hou of the Qingxing Hou Mansion. ”
Handing over the keys to the warehouse? Mrs. Hou was really reluctant to do anything. That's a huge fortune! The reason why I'm so comfortable. The fundamental reason why you can compare luxury with those ladies and ladies everywhere is that you hold this large dowry in your hand.
But now, Hou Ye actually asked her to hand over the key to the warehouse. How can this be reluctant? This is simply asking for her old life!
Mrs. Hou's resentful and evasive look was full of reluctance. They were all looked at by Qingyunhou, which made him embarrassed. His face was hot and dry. I couldn't help but slap it the table.
"Didn't you hear Ben Hou's words, are you deaf?" he turned his head and ordered his henchmen to do it himself.
"Wait, when my daughter married into your house, the dowry list was in duplicate. I guess I can't find that in the house. I brought what I had at home, Mother Bai, you take the dowry list and go to count it. ”
The old lady said coldly, her words full of sarcasm.
Mrs. Hou, who had been hanging her head and pretending to be dead, suddenly widened her eyes. His eyes were full of anxiety and despair, and he trembled and finally collapsed to the ground.
Mrs. Hou's disgusting demeanor, coupled with the fact that the old lady could easily point out the fact that there were several places in the hall were Wan'er's dowry. Even if Qingyunhou still had some doubts in his heart before, he could see it clearly now.
At this time, his face was blue and white, and he was so ashamed that he hated that there was a gap in the ground for him to get into. Let the stepfamily abuse the children of the previous wife, greedily and viciously embezzle her dowry. Speaking of which, what reputation does the Qingyun Marquis Mansion have at all, it has long been notorious and has become a big joke in the capital.
"Old lady, don't worry, the dowry belongs to Yunjin. How much is the difference in this inventory, Ben Hou will definitely make up for it. ”
"That's fine, I just hope that Hou Ye will keep his word. Don't let some people succeed with malice, and relatives will be cold. After speaking, he glared at Mrs. Hou with contempt, and walked away.
The next day, under the personal supervision of Mrs. Shen and Qingyunhou, Yunjin got back his mother's dowry. The part that has been misappropriated and cannot be recovered from the pawn has also been compensated by Qingyunhou with public money.
At the end, Qingyunhou, who was sneered at by the old lady and brother-in-law. After sending the person out of the house, he said to Mrs. Hou suspiciously.
"In the future, don't interfere in Jin'er's affairs. The face of the Qingyun Marquis Mansion has been lost by you. If it weren't for the face of the son and daughter...... Hmph!
With that, he brushed his sleeves and left. I didn't bother to look at it, and Mrs. Hou fell to the ground in fright.
The two brothers and sisters, Yun Wu and Yun Ping, who hurried over after hearing the news, could only look at their father's distant back and look at a loss.
"Mother, is that just it? Isn't that cheap Yunjin slut?"
Forget it? How is it possible! Since she was corrected by Hou Ye and became the dignified Mrs. Hou of Qingyun Hou's mansion, when did she suffer such a great insult now. And now, he was ridiculed and ridiculed by people. It has become a big joke in the whole capital.
The angry and distorted face made the maid-in-law who was accompanying her frightened. The three masters in the room commanded, and after they all hurried away, they were afraid that they would cause great trouble for themselves if they took a slow step.
Thinking about it with his toes, he understood that the mother and son must be discussing something unseemly.
