Chapter 124: The Wife Who Spoils the Concubine and Destroys His Wife (26)
Li Suwan returned to the Tong family strongly, and after driving Aunt Hao out of Haoyue Pavilion, she tied up all the slaves and maids and mothers-in-law in the courtyard, found human teeth, and sold them together.
The Tong family is an upstart, and it has not been more than 20 years in total.
There is only one generation of wealth, and the descendants of the family are basically bought from outside, and they have not yet given birth to children.
It's not that there are no children, but those children born in the Tong family have not grown up to be old enough to be errands.
The subordinates of Haoyue Pavilion can sell it casually if they want to, and they don't have to worry about any intricacies and implications.
When Li Suwan got married, she didn't accompany too many companions and maids, and there were only seven or eight people in total.
With the rise of Aunt Hao, Li Suwan can't even protect herself and her children, how can she protect those subordinates?
Seven or eight people, the dead, the sold, and those who betrayed their masters for self-preservation or greedy for Aunt Hao's power......
Li Suwan re-sorted it and found that there was not a single person left from the Li family!
Sitting in the hall, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar courtyard, Li Suwan sighed faintly.
Alas, she is really a useless person, and she can't even keep a slave.
However, such a sigh is only a fleeting moment, she still has too much to do on her hands, and she has no time to be sad about the past!
She found a person with a good reputation in the capital, and through her, she bought twenty or thirty maids and mothers-in-law.
These people, in addition to their own use, are to be divided into a pair of children.
Of course, the cost is all in the public account.
Second Mrs. Liu: ......
A good Li Suwan, who sold a yard of people, not to mention the money she got was handed over to the public account, and now she bought someone again, and she was embarrassed to go to the account room to pay the silver!
Mrs. Liu secretly slandered herself, but she didn't dare to refuse Li Suwan's request, "Give it to her, give it to her!
Mrs. Liu's mouth was refreshing, but her heart was bleeding with pain.
As mentioned above, Second Mrs. Liu came from a humble background and was an ordinary village girl.
Illiterate, uninformed, and because of poverty in his early years, he attached great importance to money.
When he followed the Tong family into Beijing, he made a lot of jokes for silver.
It was still the Empress Dowager Tong who saw that the two younger brothers and daughters-in-law did not look good, so she sent two palace grandmothers to teach and mention them separately, and the second wife Liu understood some of the rules a little.
It looks unsatisfactory on the surface, but the greed for money and petty family spirit in her bones can't be changed.
Don't say anything else, just talk about Li Suwan's dowry.
Ahem, Second Mrs. Liu still has the same set of rules in the countryside in her head: when a daughter-in-law marries into the door, everything she does belongs to her in-laws.
And Li Suwan has a soft temperament, and she is a new daughter-in-law who has just passed the door, shy and thin-skinned, and what is even worse is that her husband is not on her side.
Therefore, her mother-in-law spoke unceremoniously, and Li Suwan felt awkward, but she still handed over the dowry to her mother-in-law to "take care of".
lost her dowry and only relied on monthly routines to get by, and Li Suwan was passive at the beginning.
This also laid a hidden danger for the later loss of power and the strong ascension of Aunt Hao.
"This person, you still have to have money in your hands! Otherwise, even if you occupy the name of the eldest grandmother, once you are not respected by your husband, you won't even be able to eat hot soup and rice!"
Li Suwan couldn't help but sigh secretly when she thought of everything she had suffered in the past few years.
In the past, she was stupid, always thinking that it was all a family, and it was not good to be too careful, and it was serious to be harmonious.
As a result, she retreated, and people would not appreciate her for being sensible and taking care of the overall situation, but felt that she was weak and bulliful!
It's a wrong step, a wrong step.
However, don't be afraid of mistakes, let's correct them in time!
After buying the next person again, and assigning the yard and the two children, Li Suwan found the second wife Liu with the dowry list.
Second Mrs. Liu: ......
Trousseau?
Well, the dowries that Li brought back then had already been swallowed into her stomach by her.
It's one thing to let her vomit it out now, it's one thing to feel distressed, and what's worse is that she can't return it as it is.
Second Mrs. Liu wanted to deny it, but as soon as her eyes touched Li Suwan's cold eyes, she subconsciously wanted to hide.
This person is a person who can attract thunder.
His son is still lying at this time, his hair is scorched, and his skin is burned, and it is estimated that it will take half a year to raise it back.
There is also the plaque of Haoyue Pavilion, the best red sandalwood, but it has been split into slag......
Mrs. Liu Er was cowardly, lest she provoke Li Suwan, she would attract thunder again, and with a click, she couldn't stand such a crime with her fine skin and tender flesh!
Before Li Suwan could open her mouth to threaten, Second Mrs. Liu herself scared herself enough.
She hurriedly said: The dowry of the year has become incomplete for various reasons, but it doesn't matter, I will return it to you according to the market price.
Second Mrs. Liu Xu was really afraid of Li Suwan, and after saying this, she hurriedly added: "What, as well as the interest on the rise in prices in the past few years, I, I will also make it up to you!"
Second Mrs. Liu is so knowledgeable, Li Suwan is very satisfied.
In the trembling eyes of Mrs. Liu, she left Chunhui Hall happily.
"This evil star is finally gone!"
Looking at Li Suwan's back, Second Mrs. Liu exhaled a long breath and muttered in a low voice.
She thought that Li Suwan sold Aunt Hao's people, bought them again, and asked for the dowry back with interest, she, she should stop, right?!
Li Suwan told her with facts: Dear mother-in-law, you think too simply. It's not over!
To get back her dowry, Li Suwan paid another sum of money from the public account, and hired more than a dozen dart masters with big shoulders and round waists and extraordinary skills from the dart bureau in the capital.
She hired a dart master not to walk darts, but to "raid the house"!
Of course, her "copying home" is not copying her own home, but directly serving Aunt Hao's "maiden home".
Aunt Hao is an orphan girl who was sold into Tong's Mansion by a distant relative ten years ago.
At that time, she was young and afraid of being bullied, so she learned from the big girl in the house and recognized a mother-in-law with some heads and faces as a godmother.
Later, Aunt Hao successfully climbed into bed, so she coaxed Tong Chengsi to release the deed of the mother-in-law's family, and the mother-in-law backed the Cheng'en Mansion, and Aunt Hao sent silver behind her back, so she slowly bought a family business.
Later, Aunt Hao became Tong Chenghei's favorite person, and she said nothing in the backyard of Tong's house, and the mother-in-law also trembled.
Tong Chengsi felt sorry for Aunt Hao, and felt that it was very pitiful to have no father and mother, so he took more care of his mother-in-law.
Tong Chengsi also transferred some of the fields and shops in his private warehouse to Aunt Hao in the name of his mother-in-law.
In the past three or five years, the mother-in-law has saved a lot of money.
And these, in the final analysis, are all the money of the Tong family.
The Tong family has a big business, and because of Tong Chenghei, they don't count these things, but Li Suwan won't be cheaper!
She directly took the dart master to raid her mother-in-law's house, and the mother-in-law was still crying, shouting, and threatening, and Li Suwan ignored it.
The messenger of Jingzhao Mansion rushed to inquire, and Li Suwan didn't talk nonsense, and directly pointed to a few gold and silver artifacts that were confiscated: "This is the Tong family's thing, and there are marks on it, I just recovered the property, and I didn't pursue the family's theft, which is already tolerant——"
What kind of good people, as long as there is no backer, the powerful family can beat her back to her original shape in minutes.
The mother-in-law couldn't wait for the reinforcements, and was so frightened by Li Suwan's words that she trembled, and she didn't dare to say anything about "robbery" and "bullying the good people", so she hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy......
