Chapter 55 Wang Yuan asks for a dowry return
Sitting on the chair, behind her was the bright red wedding dress, but she didn't even bother to look at it, at this time she was already like ashes, and went away with the wind, just waiting for the last moment to end her life.
At this moment, the door opened, and it was her personal maid He'er, a little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old.
"Miss, the young master is here and has brought a lot of treasures." He'er walked to Xinyao's side and excitedly reported to her young lady.
Xin Yao turned her head and glanced at He'er, but she didn't say a word, for a few days, without makeup, her expression looked extremely haggard.
"Miss, the young master is here, he will definitely come to see you, you can't do this, He'er will serve you to make up." He'er heard Wufu's boasting outside, and decided in her heart that Wang Lang was already developed, and when it was time to solve this kind of thing for her own miss, she was very happy for Miss.
"What does it matter if you comb your makeup or not, at this time, I am no longer suitable to see Brother Lang, except for adding trouble to him, it will not do him the slightest benefit." Xin Yao said lightly.
"Miss is not like this, I heard that the young master has become a senior official in the army, and his current status is terrible, even Prince Lance's camp let him lead people to break through, and snatched all the prince's most beloved treasures, and wants to give them to the lord to enjoy." He'er said anxiously.
Hearing this, Xin Yao laughed, "He'er, do you believe it." Brother Lang is only a seventeen-year-old boy, and it has only been more than half a year since he entered the army, and he is still far from a year, so what kind of big official can he be. And with his temperament, when others spoke a little louder, he was afraid, and he also led people to break through the camp of the Reims, and the Reims people were not paper-mΓ’chΓ©. β
Hearing Xinyao's rebuttal, He'er became even more anxious, "Miss, the matter on the frontier is too far away, I don't know, but there is something that happened in our Qingyuan, and I will know it as soon as I inquire." Wufu said that yesterday, when the young master returned to the house, he heard that someone had bullied our aunt and grandmother, and in a fit of anger, he directly led people to knock down Julong Commercial Bank. β
"Julong Commercial Bank, the one that is rampant and domineering in Qingyuan." Xinyao quickly turned her head to look at He'er, her beautiful eyes widened.
"Yes, that's what Wufu said." Horr.
"He'er, you find someone to go out and inquire about the affairs of Julong Commercial Bank, hurry up." Xin Yao's expression was serious.
Not long after He'er walked out, Xinyao stood up and looked at the haggard face in the bronze mirror, and the dead heart came back to life at this time, because she saw hope and got rid of Wang Yuan's hope.
"Miss, miss." He'er ran into the room panting.
"He'er, did you find out so soon?"
"Someone from Qingyuan Bofu is here, this time it is the housekeeper in Qingyuanbo's Mansion, and he wants to get back the dowry gift sent the day before yesterday." He'er was out of breath.
"He'er, what you said is true." Xinyao became excited, holding He'er's little hand with both hands, for fear that He'er would joke with her.
"Miss, it's true, the lord and the lady are negotiating with it, the lady doesn't want to return the dowry, but the lord insists on returning, and now he is in the lobby." He'er breathed a sigh of relief and said.
"Great." At this time, Xin Yao could no longer hide the excitement in her heart, and hugged He'er directly, and your grievances turned into bursts of tears for days.
In the lobby of the Li Mansion, Li Yuanlang and the Han family sat in the main seat, and the next position was Wei Kang, the housekeeper of the Qingyuan Mansion, and several people were holding tea with different attitudes.
Wei Kang insisted on asking for back the dowry sent by Wang Yuan, and Li Yuanlang was ready to end the matter by pushing the boat down the river, but the Han family was reluctant to give a dowry of 10,000 taels and did not want to withdraw from the marriage.
"Master Li, when I was leaving, my uncle greeted me, and some time ago, I didn't know that Ling's daughter had already promised to be married, and the dowry was given. In the past few days, I learned that the daughter was not someone else, it was the son of the uncle's cousin, Wang Lang, who was also the nephew of the uncle. If this family does not retreat, it will become the eldest son's forced wife to marry his brother, if this word spreads, not only will the eldest prince's reputation be bad, but the uncle will also have a dull face. Wei Kang said carefully, he didn't dare to say anything about Wang Lang's threat to his uncle.
Li Yuanlang was about to take over the conversation, and agreed to this matter, not wanting the Han family to take the lead in speaking, "My family Xinyao once married Wang Lang, but the marriage contract has been dissolved, and besides, the uncle's mansion has already given a dowry, so how can I ask for it back." β
Wei Kang secretly scolded Li Yuanlang and his wife for being shameless and forgetting their righteousness for profit, but this is not easy to say, after all, he is just a housekeeper.
Wang Lang stood outside the door, knowing that the Han family still had this idea of cheating, if he kept rejecting her thoughts, he would definitely be in trouble in the future, so he immediately walked into the lobby and saluted Li Yuanlang and his wife.
"Isn't this Steward Wei, my brother Wang Yuan doesn't know that he is in good health, I am preparing to visit tomorrow, I see you here today, and I hope to inform you." Wang Lang smiled at Wei Kang.
"Young Master Wang Lang, the eldest prince is in good health, the only thing that is uneasy is that I didn't know that the daughter of the Li Mansion and Young Master Wang Lang had already been engaged, and gave the Li Mansion a dowry, so I am afraid that it will hurt the brotherhood. When the lord learned of this, he remembered his love for your father and his youth, and specially ordered me to ask for the dowry gift sent to the Li Mansion. Wei Kang bowed to Wang Lang, he was really worried that Wang Lang, a bad star, was in a bad mood, so he broke into the mansion and beat Wang Yuan fatly.
"Brother Wang Yuan doesn't know about this, and I won't blame it, so I'll visit you another day."
As soon as he heard that Wang Lang insisted on coming to the door, Wei Kang's heart was cold, for fear that Hou Ye would blame him for his bad deeds.
"Please also ask Master Li to forgive me and return the dowry as soon as possible, so that I can go back to the house and hand in my errands." Wei Kang arched his hand at Li Yuanlang, not looking at Han.
Li Yuanlang felt that his face was lost at this time, and he glared at Han angrily, "Why don't you quickly carry out the 10,000 taels of silver and accept Xinyao's marriage letter." β
Han moved his mouth and wanted to say something, but at this time, Li Yuanlang was already on the verge of rage, slapped the table and yelled, "I'm still not the head of the Li Mansion, and I still don't listen to me." β
Wei Kang watched this scene coldly, and said in his heart that Li Yuanlang and his wife were so uninteresting, they returned the dowry early, why should they be so embarrassed.
Li Shi walked into the back room angrily, and after a while, he commanded a few servants to carry out a few large boxes and put them on the ground, without making a sound. Seeing this, Wei Kang put down the marriage book, arched his hand at Li Yuanlang, and let a few followers carry the box and go out.
When Wang Lang saw this scene, he knew that a matter had finally come to an end, and this roundabout speech was really tiring, if these people were as simple as Brother A, how good would it be.
Han's eyes were red at this time, and he couldn't help crying, and Li Yuanlang felt extremely bored when he saw it. looked at Wang Lang, and felt ashamed, let alone say anything, so he simply walked out of the lobby and plunged into the study.
