Chapter 020: Not Calm at All
Mrs. Jin's words shocked the audience, but she herself was quite satisfied with the effect.
Originally, the relatives of the concubine were not serious relatives at all, and she could sit here to give the Shen family face!
All the Shen family members present looked at the old lady. Now, this matter is no longer a matter of Shen Youfu's marriage alone, it can almost be said that it is a matter of the dignity of the Shen family, and it is the old lady who should come forward to make the decision.
"Mrs. Jin is so shrewd, but why do you think my Shen family will agree to this?"
The old lady is well-informed, so even if she heard that the Jin family was going to "change the wife for the concubine", her face was quite calm.
She knew early on what Madame Jin must have planned for this trip. But for the Shen family, they would rather let their concubine withdraw from the marriage than send her out to be a concubine. Especially now that the fourth prince and the fifth lady both deny it, and the Jin family has no evidence now, which can directly prove that Shen Youfu has a personal relationship with others.
Why is the Jin family so confident?
What hole cards do they still have to fail?
The old lady's temptation did not have any deterrent effect in Mrs. Jin's eyes. If at the beginning she planned to find an excuse to let the Shen family comply, now she is completely planning to tear her face with the Shen family.
Who made them not admit that Shen Youfu had personal affairs with others? This is toasting, not eating, eating and drinking!
I saw Mrs. Jin dusting off the ashes on her sleeves, pinching her throat and saying, "Anyway, my son Feibai will not marry such a wife, if you would rather withdraw from the marriage-"
Mrs. Jin dragged out her tone and waited for a long time before throwing out a sentence:
"Then return our Jin family's dowry as it is!"
The dowry is a gift of money and property given by the man on the premise of marriage. The retirement gift is not a glorious thing, not to mention, the Shen family also has an old lady who loves money very much.
At this time, except for Shen Youfu's unclear face, everyone else in the hall seemed to be choked by the neck - Mrs. Jin's move really hit the old lady's weakness.
But Shen Youfu doesn't understand! Although it was her own money from selling her body, she had been here for a short time, if it hadn't been for the Jin family mentioning it today, Shen Youfu and Ben wouldn't have known about it!
Not to mention the dowry that I have seen.
Shen Youfu blinked, almost wanting to blurt out, "Then go back", but before she could say anything, she realized that the atmosphere in the room was not quite right.
Why didn't the old lady speak?
The old lady not only did not speak, but also looked her up and down with an evaluative gaze!
Shen Youfu read a message from such a gaze - the dowry sent by the Jin family must be worth a lot of money, and she may not even be as important as this dowry.
How sad it would be if the original owner was here!
Shen Youfu was a little sad, and then immediately cheered up. The original owner has "high self-cultivation", maybe she can take care of the overall situation for the sake of the Shen family, but she can't join in this fun.
"I'll go to my mother and ask her to return the dowry to you." Shen Youfu couldn't care about it so much anymore, so she opened her mouth on her own.
Although she is now all meat on the chopping board, she can't wait for someone to slaughter her.
"You unfilial grandson, don't shut up for me!"
Sure enough, without waiting for Mrs. Jin to speak, the old lady was the first to become unhappy. Why did she forget that there was such a thing as a dowry?
The Jin family's dowry was generous, in addition to five hundred taels of silver, there were also two additional large cages. The cage and its contents are now handed over to the second room for storage. But the old lady has seen the gift list, and they are all valuable things!
The old lady's behavior further confirmed the guess in Shen Youfu's heart. According to the rumors of the old lady's love for money, maybe she really has to agree!
This time, Shen Youfu is completely not calm!
She doesn't want to be a wife! How can you toss to the end, but become a concubine? What she wants is to get out of the marriage! Divorce!
"Is it possible that if you are a concubine, you don't have to return the dowry?" Shen Youfu didn't look like a lady at all, and she rolled up her sleeves to distinguish it from Mrs. Jin.
At this time, if she continues to be tactful, she will really become a concubine and aunt.
Since crossing over, Shen Youfu has always been unlucky! But this time, her character finally exploded.
If Mrs. Jin said that she didn't need to return the dowry as a concubine, the old lady would have responded as soon as possible. But Mrs. Jin is also greedy!
When she saw that she had finally overwhelmed the room with a "dowry", she was triumphant at this time-"Since it is a concubine, of course it is not worthy of the dowry of the wife." However, our Jin family has always been generous, so you can return half of this dowry. ”
Hearing Mrs. Jin's words, Shen Youfu breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and then immediately turned to the old lady and carefully observed the old lady's face.
If she Shen Youfu can't afford a dowry, then now there is only this half of the dowry left, and there is always something to discuss, right?
The old lady couldn't see anything on her face, in fact, she had been silently calculating in her heart. If she wanted to say that before, even if it was half a dowry, she would consider it.
But well......
Today's seventh granddaughter opened her eyes!
If Xiao Qi has a gentle and honest face, even if he withdraws from the marriage of the Jin family, he may not be able to find another good one. But with her courage and mind now, if she stays with her, she may not be able to fight for a better person in the future!
Nothing is worth as much as this unknown possibility. The old lady made a quick decision!
"It's only half a dowry, and I want the Shen family's concubine to be a concubine, didn't Mrs. Jin wake up?" The old lady suddenly burst out laughing.
The old lady's unexpected words made everyone's eyes widen. But how could they understand the old lady's shrewd calculations?
Mrs. Jin and Jin Feibai were about to see the old lady nodding, and when they heard this, they immediately froze on the spot, they never dreamed that the old lady Shen, who had always regarded wealth as her life, would actually look down on these dowries!
What's more, you must know that once you get married, not to mention that the Shen family can't get a penny, the relationship with the Jin family will be broken in the future!
Lady Jin looked at the old lady in disbelief, and the latter had closed his eyes as if he was asleep! This is obviously the meaning of sending off guests!
Mrs. Jin and Jin Feibai glanced at each other, Jin Feibai immediately understood, he got up and said to Shen Youfu: "Youfu, you have always been sensible, why do you need to care about a reputation?" In fact, you don't have to worry about it at all, even if you are a concubine, you are the most important person in my eyes. ”
It's just a matter of letting others say this, but Jin Feibai has an outstanding appearance and temperament, and when he says it, he is more affectionate.
It's a pity that Shen Youfu didn't blush and heartbeat, and she didn't nod her head in agreement.
If she didn't know who Jin Feibai was before, when he said this, Shen Youfu was already sure that he was a scumbag.
"Never! I, Shen Youfu, will never be a concubine for the Jin family. Shen Youfu also came up with a panache. Anyway, the old lady acquiesced, what is she afraid of now?
Seeing that Shen Youfu was completely dead, Mrs. Jin and Jin Feibai finally couldn't stay anymore.
Mrs. Jin slapped the table heavily, then flicked her sleeves and left angrily, and when she left, she didn't forget to sneer and drop a sentence:
"Miss Shen Qi is so good-natured, she must not rely on the dowry and not pay it back. In this case, let's leave and go back to Jin's house to wait, if you don't see you return the dowry after three days, let's wait to make a fuss and look good! ”
Mrs. Jin was defeated, and no one paid attention to her at this time. Only Shen Youfu felt a little strange, listening to this tone, how could it be like the Jin family felt that they didn't have a dowry?
