Chapter Seventy-Four: Face (Three Watches)
Xiyu Kingdom is different from the ancient times that Linglong knew in her previous life, although many of the rules here are the same as the ancient times in her impression, the requirements for women are also very strict.
But for the point of divorce and divorce, it can be regarded as a little generous to women.
The husband's family cannot divorce his wife without reason, and if he wants to divorce his wife, he must return the entire dowry to the woman. This can ensure the woman's life after returning home.
If the woman has any objections or does not accept the divorce, she can go to the government to file a complaint, and the government will decide. It's just that when he goes to the government, then the face of this family will be lost.
But it is not so easy for the government to intervene in this matter, and the woman has to be scolded by the cane.
Once again, the room was boiling because of Linglong's words.
"It's ridiculous."
"How can it be?" Second Master Li felt that his authority as the head of the house had been challenged, and he could no longer sit there calmly at this moment and let the Duan clan and Linglong make a move.
I don't know when, this daughter-in-law who he has always looked down on has become so powerful. Second Master Li's eyes narrowed, and his expression became even colder when he looked at Linglong.
"Sister-in-law, you better persuade her." Duan said to the old lady of the long house, "Why bother? When the time comes, everyone will not look good. ”
Duan Shitong guò had a trick with Linglong this year, and he was really a little worried that she would go to the government to complain. Duan's still can't figure out the current Linglong.
If I knew this, I shouldn't have estimated my reputation, and I would have killed her early, and I would have saved so much trouble now.
"I think Linglong's idea is a good one." The old lady of the long house glanced at the Duan family sarcastically, "I really didn't expect that since the old man died, the children of the Li family have become so skinless and faceless, and they even want their daughter-in-law's dowry." ”
"In our Kunzhou Mansion, there really isn't a daughter-in-law who has been divorced, and the husband's family gave the dowry to go back." The old lady of the long room stared at the second master Li fiercely, "The second uncle really taught me a good lesson for this old woman today, and you have seen the sage book in the dog's belly." ”
"Tut-tut......" The old lady of the long room shook her head, but she spoke without mercy at all. I'm afraid that Confucius will jump out of the grave when he knows about this, and he wants to teach you a good lesson. ”
"Sister-in-law, you misunderstood." Seeing that Second Master Li couldn't lift his face when he was reprimanded by the old lady of the long house, Duan hurriedly said, "Our master also wants to prepare a rich dowry for Sister Mei." Besides. She is Sister Mei's mother, what's wrong with leaving some dowry for her daughter? ”
"Even if she wants her to leave all the dowry to Sister Mei'er, it's not too much." After Duan's finished speaking, he looked at Linglong, "Our lord is kind, and I am afraid that you will not have a good time going out without the support of the Li Mansion, so I will return to you the dowry that your ancient family prepared for you at the beginning." Don't be greedy anymore. ”
The meaning of Duan's words is that Linglong is greedy for more than half of the dowry, and wants to use Sister Mei as a guise to get those dowries back.
As for going to the mansion, in addition to losing the face of the Li Mansion, the Duan family is not worried at all, with the reputation of the Li Mansion in Kunzhou Mansion and the face of his son, the parents and officials of the Kunzhou Mansion will not give them the face of the second room of the Li Mansion.
It's just that in this case, Li Fu's face is a little unsightly.
So Duan's like he wanted to scare Linglong, hoping that she would be able to retreat from the difficulty.
"What else do I have to fear right now?" Linglong looked directly at Duan, "My daughter was killed by you, and she can't even speak." I'm afraid that if I hand her over to you again, my daughter's life will not be saved. ”
What the? Sister Mei can't speak?
Many of you here have seen Sister Mei, such a soft and glutinous little person, smiling sweetly at you and greeting you is the most beautiful thing in the world.
Many people have always remembered this impression of Sister Mei.
"Your nonsense." Duan snorted coldly, "It's not that you're incompetent as a mother, if you weren't scared, Sister Mei would have become like this." ”
"You can say whatever you want now." Linglong stood there and said, "Sister Mei, I will never stay in this mansion again." ”
"Since we can't talk about it together, then please forgive Linglong for retiring." Linglong blessed his body to everyone. "We'll see you in court."
"Ignorant woman." Second Master Li snorted coldly.
Linglong smiled faintly at the insult of Second Master Li, and then saluted the old lady of the long room, and then turned around and left with the maid.
In the room, people who had long been impatient with Linglong's behavior stood up.
"It's rude."
"How could Zhuo Ran marry such a shameless woman."
"Second uncle. You have to think of a way, if you really let this woman go to court, then our Li Mansion will lose face. ”
"Face?" The old lady of the long room stood up and looked at the people in the room with a smile on her Buddhist dress, "You still know the word face, I thought you didn't know." ”
"The ancestors of the Li Mansion know that you group of big men are bullying a weak woman like this, I'm afraid they all want to jump out of the ancestral grave and teach you unfilial sons a lesson." The old lady of the long room walked slowly a few steps and stopped to look at the people. "Second uncle, for the sake of Zhuo Ran, don't embarrass the poor mother and daughter anymore."
"That's all I say, you can do it yourself."
She left without looking back.
When he walked into the courtyard, he saw Linglong waiting there, and when he saw her come out, he saluted the old lady of the long room, "Auntie." ”
"Good boy." The old lady of the long house helped her up, "I didn't expect the Li Mansion to fall into such a field." ”
The old lady of the long house can be regarded as understanding today, and decided to only guard the big house in the future, and she doesn't plan to care about how these people will make trouble in the future.
"Linglong also asks the eldest aunt to take care of her body." Linglong said gratefully, "As for the matter of going to court, please rest assured that Linglong will definitely handle it." Auntie, don't ...... with those people because of Linglong."
She has nothing to do with the Li Mansion after she leaves, but the old lady of the long house has such a large family to protect, this open gun is easy to dodge and the arrow is difficult to prevent, Linglong doesn't want the old lady of the long house to be too stiff with the people of the Li Mansion because of her.
"Good boy, the eldest aunt has received your affection, but if you need it, please speak to me." The old lady of the long room nodded, as far as today's exquisite table is concerned, I believe that she has already arranged the rest of the matter.
And she is standing behind Linglong, as long as she is in need, she will definitely stand up and help her without hesitation. (To be continued.) )
