"What do you mean by that?"

Ruyao's heart moved, but she didn't dare to believe Ruzhen's words.

"Sister Yao, don't pretend, you and I both know it, my mother has always wanted to get your mother's dowry, you have been fighting openly and secretly for a few rounds, and others are not stupid!"

Ruzhen smiled softly, more wise and shrewd than her usual dignified and calm.

"You slander your mother like this, it's not what everyone should do."

Ruyao said coldly.

"Heh, there are no outsiders here, I just told you a few words from my heart, if you want to pretend to be serious, then I won't say it, let you suffer bad luck."

Ruzhen turned around to leave, but Ruyao grabbed her sleeve, "Make it clear before leaving." ”

Ruzhen smiled slightly, took out the corner of her sleeve from her hand, and said leisurely: "I heard that the eldest aunt in front of her has a Zhuangzi in the suburbs, and there are a lot of valuable dowries piled up in it?" ”

Ruyao's heart tightened, and she said coldly: "If you want to say it, you don't have to sell it." ”

"Sister Yao, you should know that there is basically no chance of attacking the lord in our second room, there are more than 100 people in the family, and it costs a lot to eat, wear and chew, and the wife is shrewd and capable, all relying on her to support it with dowry silver, not only did not lose money, but made a lot of money."

Ruzhen talked about the Wang family's head of the family for more than ten years, and praised her as sweet as usual, but her tone was a little sarcastic, and she was as obedient and gentle as she usually was.

"Hmph, I'm afraid that it will damage the public middle school and fatten her dowry."

Ruyao didn't speak, but Bi He beside her couldn't help but sneer.

Ruzhen smiled slightly, and did not refute, "Mrs. has always hoped that the eldest brother Guangren would be admitted to the imperial examination as an official, and let the fourth brother attack the title of the family, but if you want to attack the lord, you have to go to the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War to dredge, and my father's Yulu has always been bitter." As a result, she had to find another way. ”

A complicated light flashed in her eyes, and then she looked at Ruyao with a smile like a flower, "You just lost your mother when you were nine years old, didn't Mrs. Tai say that you and Guang Cheng were young and ignorant, and they wanted to take over the dowry left by the eldest aunt - the so-called wealth is moving, everyone is like this, and it is not my wife alone." ”

Ruyao remembered the scene when she was young, and couldn't help but turn pale, she was still young at that time. But in the face of the soft and hard persecution of Mrs. Tai and Aunt Wang, it was really frustrating, and every step was terrifying.

Ruzhen observed the words and continued: "Now that there is no hope for this title, the wife can only concentrate on making money - only relying on her father's money, the fourth brother can only live the life of a small commoner in the future, and Rucan's dowry in the future is not enough-these two are her sweethearts, how can she bear to let them suffer and suffer?" ”

Bihe sneered, "That's why you're even more eyeing our Mrs. Zhang's dowry?" It's shameless! ”

Ruzhen sneered. "The deceased aunt's family was rich and luxurious, and it could be said that it was ten miles of red makeup, and there were more than 100 shops alone, all of which were prosperous areas in Jinling and Ningbo. Now most of these shops are in the hands of Mrs. Tai and my wife, and the rest are also rented out by my uncle, and I can be happy just by taking the rent money every month. ”

Bihe opened her mouth to speak, but was stopped by Ruyao with her gaze. She knew better than anyone that although these shops were temporarily managed by this group of elders, the real deeds had long been hidden in a secret place. It didn't fall into the hands of this group.

Seeing that although Ruyao was angry, she did not panic, a flash of disappointment flashed in Ruzhen's eyes, "Aren't you worried at all, it's something left by your mother-in-law, if you don't even have this, sister, your dowry...... I'm afraid it's going to be shabby and I can't watch it! ”

Ruzhen Yingying looked at Ru Yao with big eyes, trying to find a look of anxiety and fear on the latter's face, but who knew that Ru Yao's crystal face was calm, "Mother has already arranged these things, and she will not let some people succeed easily." ”

It's such a calm and trusting tone again...... The anger and resentment contained in Ruzhen's heart were like wildfire in an instant-obviously everyone was born as a concubine, and how could she be like a concubine, but she could be nurtured and cared for by Mrs. Zhang like a daughter, and she was spoiled like a jade, but she had to be by the side of the insidious, cunning, mean, and unkind Mrs. Wang, serving carefully and surviving her life......

What's even more hateful is that Ruyao's mother-in-law died, and she left such a large dowry for her!

Why...... God it's not fair!

Ruzhen gritted her teeth and thought, a strange sneer appeared on her plain and calm face, "My sister's mouth is really tight, and it's really admirable that she doesn't leak like this—it's a pity, Cousin Guang Cheng is not like you!" ”

"Hiroshi?! What did you do with him? ”

A trace of uneasiness flashed in Ruyao's heart, and she asked in a cold voice.

"My wife is just concerned about her nephew's health and studies, afraid that he will be tired, so she gave him the two maidservants she bought in the family.

When Ruzhen talked about Mrs. Wang, the sarcasm was even more vicious, and when she talked about Guang Cheng, she looked at Ru Yao with a smile, "Cousin Guang Cheng can't love it when he sees it, and he is inseparable from them these days. ”

Ruyao's face suddenly turned pale - Mrs. Zhang's most important inheritance is a whole box of contract documents and large silver tickets, which are buried under the big locust tree in Zhuangzi in the suburbs, and this secret is only known to her and her brother Guang Cheng: When Mrs. Zhang was breathing, she once took the hands of the two of them and said that those things were written and signed for the two of them, and they must not be told to anyone!

Could it be that Guangcheng was really fascinated by beauty and leaked his mouth?

"Auntie stuffed some unclean women into her nephew's room, are there any rules in this Hou Mansion!"

Bi He shouted sharply, but Ru Yao suddenly felt that something was wrong: although Guang Cheng was not a fool, he was not so easy to be deceived, and his father Shen Xi had always refused to interfere in the affairs of the big house, although he was mediocre and useless, but after all, he was the head of the family, and without his approval, the aunt of the Wang family could not control his nephew.

Is it ......?

Ruzhen saw Ruyao's face change, and her smile deepened, "You guessed right, those two maids were rewarded by the uncle's father to his son, and he personally ordered that these two open-faced banquets should be promoted to make a room." ”

Although she had guessed it a long time ago, when she heard Ruzhen say it, Ruyao's heart was still shocked!

"The eldest uncle originally wanted to divide our family after the seizure, so no one was allowed to ask about Mrs. Zhang's dowry, but now his hopes have been disappointed, and he can only snatch back a large amount of money from his son and daughter."

Although Mrs. Zhang's dowry is not as attractive as the title and wealth of the Hou Mansion, it is enough for Shen Xu, who spends all his time and wine, to squander it for ten or eight years. Therefore, as soon as Mrs. Wang proposed, he decided to work with her to cheat things out of the hands of her children and completely hold the shop and real estate in his hands.
