Chapter 17 Handles
Zhao stood up and walked towards Li, took a closer look, and suddenly found that there was a white jade bracelet in her hand that was very eye-catching, and she couldn't find a single flaw.
"What is this?"
Zhao directly grabbed her wrist and lifted it up, Li couldn't dodge it if he wanted to dodge, his big stomach was a little inconvenient, and he didn't dare to make too many movements for fear of wrestling.
"Why do I look so familiar with this bracelet?"
Zhao took off the bracelet directly from Li's hand, checked it repeatedly, turned his head and glared at Du Zhao very angrily, and scolded angrily: "Du Zhao, are you still human?" Take my sister-in-law's dowry to coax your outer room, you are not even as good as a brute! ”
"Don't talk nonsense, the Li family is a merchant, and they don't lack money for anything. I can't afford a bracelet? ”
Du Zhao was also very angry, when did he steal his daughter-in-law's dowry and send it to the Li family, no matter what, I wouldn't do this. I can afford to buy one, why should I steal it.
His angry face turned blue, and he blamed the Li family a little in his heart, what did he come to do for some reason, it was simply not enough to succeed and more than to lose, after all, she was a merchant girl, and she was indeed not as sensible as everyone's daughter.
"No, it's mine, not Madame's."
Li waved his hand anxiously to plead, his autumn-like eyes were full of water, tears were not falling, and sweat on his forehead was rising. The little girl next to her tightly pulled the placket of her clothes and didn't dare to let go, and was frightened by everyone's cannibalistic eyes.
"Huh! Many of the things of my Yang family have markings, this bracelet was given to my Yang family by the Queen Mother back then, it was made in the palace, there are marks in it, you will know it when you check it, you can check it. ”
Zhao changed his hand and handed the bracelet to a woman who was closest to him, and it happened that this person had a good relationship with her mother's family, and she had been in contact, so she would not help the Du family speak.
Mrs. Ma took the bracelet and looked at the sunlight carefully, and pointed to the location of the mark, "You see, this is indeed the mark of the imperial palace.
I know this when I check it, I really can't fake it, I have a gold bracelet rewarded by the palace, and this mark is the same, but the number is different. ”
"Yes, yes, I have it too, you see, compare, whether the marks are all the same, this is what is in the palace."
Another lady took off the hairpin on her head, put the two items in one place and compared them for everyone to see, the things in the palace have obvious numbers, which can be verified, which is the reason for keeping the bottom for accounting.
Du Jingfu was also stunned, she really didn't know about it, and she didn't have this good show in her previous life, she really didn't know, she looked at Du Zhao coldly, her voice was soft but with a look of disbelief.
"Father, how can she have her mother's things, the Li family is a merchant, how can there be things in the palace, even my mother doesn't have a few pieces of such jewelry, there should be on the dowry list."
Jingfu's voice was soft but implied sadness and despair, making the listener cry.
The ladies looked around, and finally unanimously confirmed the appraisal results, this bracelet is indeed the jewelry made in the palace, and it will not be wrong.
Du Zhao couldn't believe it, he really didn't steal his daughter-in-law's dowry, and this matter can definitely be guaranteed.
"I didn't give it to me, I didn't take Madame's jewelry, how could it be."
Du Zhao replied in amazement, looking at Li's eyes with a more gloomy color.
"Say, who gave it to you from the Du family."
Zhao looked at the old lady of the Du family, and his expression was self-evident.
The old lady of the Du family snorted in a deep voice, "My old lady has never touched her daughter-in-law's dowry, although my Du family is not a big family, but she will never do such a thing." Lee, said, whoever gave it to you, dare to tell a lie, you know the end. ”
She gritted her teeth and glared at the Li family standing in front, with unstoppable hatred in her heart, who gave the thing, she had a vague guess in her heart.
It should be that Mama Ma deliberately bullied her daughter-in-law under her own banner, otherwise she would not have aroused such a big hatred from her granddaughter, and dared to kill her.
Thinking of this, fortunately, he hadn't decided to take his daughter-in-law's dowry, and he was still a little hesitant, otherwise he wouldn't be able to say it clearly today.
Li Shi was so frightened that he shrank his head, his expression was scared and panicked, he didn't know what to do with his daughter, and the sweat on his face was too much, causing the makeup to be spent, and he looked very embarrassed.
Say. Knock out the child in your belly without saying anything. ”
Mrs. Du was furious, slapped the coffee table fiercely, and made a loud bang in the silent hall.
Li Shi Putong knelt down, trembled and crawled forward, kneeling at the feet of Mrs. Du, "Grandma, you can spare me for the sake of the child in my belly, this is what Mama Ma gave me." ”
Mrs. Du hated it in her heart, "She didn't secretly leave such a valuable thing herself, why did she give it to you?" ”
"She said that it was made in the palace and could not be sold, so she asked me to take it to stimulate the sick lady, so that the lady could ...... early, let me be a lady, and she would serve me faithfully in the future.
It's not my idea, I look at the good condition, and I stay greedy for a while, I really didn't mean to......"
Li was so frightened for a moment that he knelt on the ground and whimpered and cried.
"Mama Ma is really betraying the master, damn thing, how can she dare to do such a thing behind my back."
Mrs. Du was also so angry that her head was dizzy, and the dowry maid she had trusted all her life turned out to be a thing that betrayed the master, which was a great irony!
The group of people below were all talking in a whisper, but they all said that there was no successor to the Du family, and the rules of the family were becoming more and more loose.
turned out to have a son like Du Zhao, it was a shame, the Yang family was blind to end this family business, it's really ......
"We don't bother to take care of your family's. Now that I've said that, I don't think your Du family can take care of my Yang family's dowry.
Originally, we didn't want to talk about it, but it was discussed at home, and the sister-in-law's dowry was left to my niece. But now it seems that we have to take this dowry back to the Yang family, and it will be more appropriate to hand it over to Jingfu before she gets married in the future. ”
The Zhao family interjected at the right time to guide the direction of public opinion, indicating the attitude of the Yang family, and took the opportunity to ask for a dowry.
Mrs. Du didn't say anything, at this time she had no face at all to say no, and sighed helplessly.
Du Zhao also pursed his lips and didn't speak, although he cleared himself of the crime of stealing people to marry, but the outer room was not much better, and his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Du Heng glanced at the patriarch at this time, with a pleading look in his eyes.
The patriarch stood up and personally bowed to Old Man Yang, "Lord Yang, I am the patriarch of the Du family, and I will make amends to the Yang family on behalf of Zhao'er and his mother."
Back then, I took Zhao'er to ask to marry the daughter of the Yang family, at that time I still remember how happy I was, the girl of the Yang family is a good girl, she has been single-minded to the Du family over the years, and she gave birth to a smart daughter to Zhao'er.
Our Du family can marry such a daughter-in-law, it is Zhao'er who is sorry for the Yang family, and my Du family is sorry for the child.
I don't have the face to tell you this, but his father left early, this kid made a mistake, and I, the patriarch, are responsible. ”
