Chapter 107: Fight for the dowry
Shen Huai'an, who was sitting on the side, had an embarrassed smile on his face at this time, seeing that Mrs. Tang didn't speak, he knew that Mrs. Tang must have guessed in her heart, and felt that her face was a little unbearable.
Xu heard Shen Huai'an's heart, and the little guys outside moved very quickly, and after a while, several large boxes were sent in.
Mrs. Tang took the dowry list, let people count the same, and directly ticked the right one.
There were several reports in the courtyard, and when Shen Huai'an's concubines came out to see, they were all stunned by all this in front of them.
They never thought that Shen Huai'an's wife, who died early, had so much family background, and they began to feel sour in their hearts just by standing there for a while.
But they didn't dare to be presumptuous at this time, because they saw that Mrs. Tang was unusual, and they were all well-behaved and clever at this time, even if they had any dissatisfaction, they held it in their hearts.
It's just that I feel a little distressed when I see the items that I moved out of my house being moved into boxes.
After a while, an extremely discordant voice was inserted in the midst of an inventory sound, "Master, a group of people suddenly rushed into the courtyard of the concubine's body, saying that they would take away all the things that the master gave to the concubine?" ”
The person who came was Qiu Zhu'er, and the entire Shen Mansion, except for Su Shufang, was the most favored by her, and the more good things she got from Shen Huai'an.
At this time, those little guys didn't say much nonsense, and directly snatched her baby, Qiu Zhu'er naturally couldn't swallow the evil breath in her heart, and came to Shen Huai'an to complain.
As soon as Shen Huai'an saw her, the corners of his forehead couldn't help but jump twice.
The other concubines in the courtyard also looked at the scene in front of them with great interest, as if waiting to see a good show.
Seeing Qiu Zhu'er breaking in so unruly, Old Madam Tang secretly shook her head, lowered her eyes and said nothing.
Qiu Zhu'er found out about the situation in the yard after she came in, and saw that many things were being counted, so she couldn't help but say, "What are you doing, where are these things going to be sent?" As he spoke, a look of greed appeared in his eyes, and he stared at those things without rolling his eyes.
Mrs. Tang snorted coldly when she saw it, "Don't count things in front of me." ”
After Qiu Zhu'er was murdered, she was very displeased, "Who are you, dare to talk to me like this!" ”
"Shut up!" Seeing that Qiu Zhu'er had almost made a big mistake, Shen Huai'an interrupted Qiu Zhu'er in a cold voice,
After Qiu Zhu'er was murdered by Shen Huai'an, she shrunk her neck, and then remembered her true purpose for coming, "Master, what you gave to others, how can you say that you will take it back, that glass bead concubine body likes it, didn't you also say that the concubine body looks the best after you bring it?" ”
Qiu Zhu'er's voice was delicate, and when she looked at the old lady Tang who had not spoken, her eyes flashed, and she ignored it.
Shen Huai'an originally felt that it was embarrassing for people to find out that they had moved other people's things in front of their masters, but when Qiu Zhu'er reminded him like this, Shen Huai'an suddenly felt that the last fig leaf covering his face was gone, and he didn't dare to look at Old Madam Tang and Mrs. Tang, for fear of seeing mockery in the eyes of the two.
"It wasn't originally for you, just for you to see, and now it's time to return it." Shen Huaian said with a dark face.
His words made Du Yanwan breathtaking, I don't know how Shen Huai'an could say such shameless words, doesn't he feel embarrassed?
Qiu Zhu'er had never heard of this kind of statement, and her eyes widened at the moment, and she didn't come back to her senses
"Master, you were ...... at the time"
"Okay, don't talk about it again." Afraid that Qiu Zhu'er would say something more to embarrass herself, Shen Huai'an quickly stopped the topic.
Qiu Zhu'er bit her lip, feeling very depressed, the things that Shen Huai'an gave her were all excellent, and she showed off for a few days, but at this time, someone told her that the thing was just lent to herself to see and had to be returned, and no one could accept it.
Shen Huai'an pretended not to see the depressed look on Qiu Zhu'er's face, the left and right embarrassment had already been thrown to this part, and the only thing he wanted to do at the moment was to block Qiu Zhu'er's mouth, so as not to embarrass herself again.
Old Madam Tang is a pair of old spicy eyes have already seen through Shen Huai's thoughts, she sneered, and said slowly: "You take my daughter's things and show them to your concubine, have you asked my daughter's consent?" ”
Shen Huai'an's face stiffened when he heard this, and Qiu Zhu'er, who was still sulking, couldn't help but look at Old Madam Tang.
At first glance just now, she didn't take this gray-haired old woman in her eyes at all, and now after listening to Mrs. Tang's words, she realized that the things she was wearing were not Shen Huai'an's at all!
For a while, she only felt that her face was hot, and Qiu Zhu'er looked at Shen Huai'an's gaze with a little strangeness.
Shen Huai'an directly avoided Qiu Zhu'er's gaze, and the dowry did not notice Qiu Zhu'er's strange gaze when she looked at her.
Old Madam Tang's words naturally didn't dare to take them, and he only felt that his face was about to be lost for a while.
When I felt ashamed, I remembered that the reason why I did this was because of Su Shufang, if it wasn't for Su Shufang's beginning, how could I do this, and I hated Su Shufang half to death in my heart, but now Su Shufang has been sentenced to death, and he will be beheaded soon.
Shen Huai'an transferred his anger to the Su family again, in his opinion, if it wasn't for the Su family to raise such an uneducated daughter, how could he do such a thing?
At this time, Shen Huaian did not look for the reason from his body at all.
However, after a while, the little guy in the house had already found all the things that could be found, and the people brought by the Tang family to count them were quick with their hands and feet, and almost all the things had been liquidated after a while when the little guy of the Shen family sent the things over.
"Madame Hui, the things have been settled, but there are still many that are not here." As he spoke, the man handed the list in his hand to Mrs. Tang, and after the listener took it, he glanced at it and found that there were indeed many people who were not on it.
The things that the Tang family can send over to marry are all excellent, and they are worth a lot of money at any time, and there are so many missing pieces at this time, which shows how black-hearted Shen Huaian and his wife are.
"Lord Shen, look at where these things have gone, if you can find them, find them all."
Shen Huai'an panicked when he heard this.
He already knew that such a situation would occur, and after taking the list handed over by Mrs. Tang, Shen Huai'an looked at it carefully, and pointed out a few things that had been exchanged for cash, and those things were used on Du Yanwan's body, and the Tang family also generously hooked them.
The accounts of the Shen family are all there, and Shen Huai'an is sketching on the list while facing the accounts, but there are still a lot of things missing.
Those things were extremely difficult to find, Shen Huai'an remembered that he had never seen these things at all, and if he hadn't gotten the Tang family's dowry list today, he wouldn't have known that these things existed.
But Tang Yange's dowry didn't take long to be handed over to Su Shufang for safekeeping!
Shen Huai'an suddenly understood something, and his eyes sank.
Okay, you have a Su Shu Fang, and you secretly hid things behind my back!
Shen Huai'an was angry and asked people to find the maid and mother-in-law in the courtyard of Sushufang.
After those maids and mothers-in-law were imprisoned in Shu Fang, they were arranged to do chores in the house, and at this moment, they were called in front of Shen Huai'an, and they immediately knelt down in fright.
Shen Huai'an forced them to ask them where Su Shufang hid Tang Yange's things, at first, the maids and daughters-in-law didn't dare to say, but after being murdered by Shen Huai'an, they all recruited honestly, it turned out that Su Shufang had already sold those things to subsidize his mother's family.
When Shen Huai'an heard this, he was immediately angry, he never expected that Su Shufang would take Tang Yange's dowry to subsidize his mother's family! How embarrassing is this!
Old Madam Tang looked at Shen Huai'an's gaze with a faint mockery, "My daughter's dowry was stolen by your woman to subsidize her mother's family, what do you say about this?" ”
What else can I do, naturally it is a loss.
Although the pain in his flesh was tight, Shen Huai'an still said strongly: "Don't worry, old lady, how much I have lost, I will convert it into cash and send it to the house." ”
This is the only way he can save face now, otherwise what else?
And even if he doesn't want to lose, will the Tang family let himself go?
Shen Huaian is very self-aware, but he is still dissatisfied with the Su family taking such a big advantage.
Old Madam Tang didn't care what Shen Huai'an thought in her heart, she just wanted Shen Huai'an to convert things into cash and pay herself the idea, so Shen Huai'an said it herself, which also saved her from taking the initiative to speak.
The people below were clever, and immediately reported in front of Shen Huai'an.
As soon as Shen Huai'an heard the other party's offer, he immediately gasped, if this silver was lost, one-third of his Shen Mansion's property would be emptied!
Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Mrs. Tang had no intention of continuing to stay, so she asked Shen Huaian to write an IOU, and then asked the people below to carry back a few dowry boxes, and it was over.
When dozens of large red boxes were lifted out of the Shen Mansion, many people noticed it and cast puzzled glances at Du Yanwan and his party.
"What's wrong with the Shen family, why are there so many boxes brought out? Where are these boxes going to be carried? ”
Some people who didn't know the Tang family couldn't help but say.
"You don't know this, the people who carry the boxes are all from the Tang family."
"The Tang family? It's the Tang family who made great achievements back then! ”
After being reminded like this, everyone remembered the Tang family that was very prosperous back then.
"The Tang family is back in Beijing now, and the Tang family has always been short of friends, so I'm afraid that I want to support the second miss of the Shen family at this time."
Many people have heard of the gossip of the Shen Mansion and know that Shen Huai'an is not a person, so they have to scold Shen Huai'an a few words when they get together to chat at this time.
"I look at how it looks like a dowry chest?"
"That's the dowry box, Tang Mansion will bring back her daughter's dowry, and Second Miss Shen will go back to Tang Mansion to live in the future."
