Chapter 056: What Identity

Cui's words are very polite, or more precisely, they should be ugly and unsentimental.

But in the face of almost provocative words, Mrs. Zhao couldn't refute anything. There's no way, who asked Mrs. Li to put on a look of her own person and talk to her from the bottom of her heart.

"Ahem, why did Mrs. Li say that?"

Coughing lightly twice, Mrs. Zhao tried her best to suppress the displeasure in her heart, pulled the corners of her mouth and said with a forced smile.

"Mrs. Zhao, there really aren't any difficulties in the house?"

Mrs. Li still did not answer the question positively, and continued to ask.

"No, thanks to you, everything is fine with our Zhao family!" Mrs. Zhao's face was gloomy, and she squeezed out a hard sentence from between her teeth, and the rosary in her hand was almost torn off by her.

"That ......" Cui Shi frowned when he heard this, looking puzzled.

"Mrs. Li, it's hard to hear any rumors about our Zhao family?" Mrs. Zhao couldn't get used to Cui's pretentious demeanor, and said lukewarmly, "Didn't you say just now, we are in-laws, if you hear something bad, don't hide it from us!" ”

"This ......" Cui Shi looked at Mrs. Zhao again and again, and when he saw her face full of persistence, he sighed silently, stretched out his right hand and swung it back slightly.

A well-dressed mother-in-law standing behind Cui's saw the master's gesture, and hurriedly bent down to pick up a one-foot-square red lacquer carved wooden box from her side, and carefully placed it on the small table near Cui's.

"Let's go!"

Cui Shi opened the copper lock of the wooden box, opened the lid completely, and turned the opening in the direction of Mrs. Zhao, and the mother-in-law behind her reached out to lift the wooden box slightly, and stood up the wooden box diagonally with the tabletop, so that Mrs. Zhao could clearly see the contents of the box.

"This? What is it? ”

Mrs. Zhao already has an aversion to Cui's family, and she can't see her pretending to be mysterious. It's just that when her eyes fell on the open wooden box, she was still taken aback, and looked at Cui Shi with some contriguity.

"Alas, don't say you're surprised, even when I saw these things, I was also taken aback," Cui Shi was very satisfied with Mrs. Zhao's reaction, she sighed deliberately, picked up an object from the box casually, and held it in front of her, "Mrs. Zhao, do you know the origin of this thing?" ”

"Eh? It looks a little familiar, as if it is a bracelet made in the style of the inner house, right? ”

The golden light flashed in front of her, Mrs. Zhao fixed her eyes and found that Mrs. Li was pinching a white jade inlaid gold jade bracelet between her index finger and thumb, the jade was divided into three sections, and the two heads of each section were connected with gold flower hinges, which could be opened, and it was a round whole after being buckled.

"Hehe, Mrs. Zhao has good eyesight," Cui nodded approvingly, and praised without hesitation.

It's just that the next words made Mrs. Zhao a little embarrassed.

Mrs. Zhao heard Cui's praise, her gloomy face had just turned clear, and Cui's voice came from her ears again:

"This white jade inlaid gold jade bracelet is the Empress Dowager Shengde used during her lifetime, thirty years ago to my mother-in-law, Mrs. Li, and later when the aunt and wife of the Li family got married, the old lady took this bracelet as a dowry for her daughter, and solemnly handed it over to the aunt's wife, that is, Mrs. Li of the Taiyuan Wang family——"

When Mrs. Zhao heard this, she seemed to understand something, and she looked straight at Cui Shi with her eyes, trying to see something on Cui Shi's calm face.

“…… It's just, Mrs. Zhao," Cui Shi didn't care about Mrs. Zhao's staring, she raised the bracelet in front of her eyes, with a hint of questioning: "Do you know where I got this bracelet from?" ”

Mrs. Zhao opened her mouth and was about to say "I don't know". But Cui Shi didn't give her a chance to speak, and directly said the answer coldly:

"Pawnshop! Alas, the royal gift of the dignified Queen Mother actually appeared in the pawnshop! Hmph, the second young grandmother of the Zhao family, the richest man in the house, even pawned the dowry at the bottom of the box, and she was still dead! ”

"Boom~~"

Mrs. Zhao had already realized Cui's purpose, and as soon as she shook her head, the blood qi in her whole body rushed straight to her cheeks, and her well-maintained face turned red.

"Also, Mrs. Zhao, do you know what this thing is?"

Cui Shi didn't look at Mrs. Zhao's reaction at all, but put down the bracelet and picked up a piece of jewelry from the wooden box.

This is a group of flowers inlaid with colorful glaze, the shape is realistic, and the craftsmanship is exquisite. The whole golden flower is about two inches in diameter, made of red gold, the petals are stretched, and the colorful glass that acts as the center of the flower is round in color and brilliance. Seeing such a beautiful and gorgeous Jin Tian, even if you don't know how to do it, you know that it is worth a lot.

"Also, this one, do you know where it came from?"

In the following time, Cui Shi was like a demon, put down one piece and picked up another, almost explaining the dozens of pieces of jewelry in the entire wooden box.

Half an hour passed, Cui cherished the last piece of jewelry, looked at it with complicated eyes for a long time, and asked slowly: "This is the last piece, Mrs. Zhao, do you know where it came from?" ”

I don't know! At this moment, Mrs. Zhao was already sweating on her forehead, although she knew that her daughter-in-law was held hostage by the concubine in the courtyard and sold a lot of jewelry, but she didn't expect that the jewelry sold had so many origins. Some of them are simply royal gifts or royal gifts, and the person receiving the reward can give them to relatives and children, but they must not be sold...... If you really check it, a "big disrespect" is enough for their Zhao family to stand it!

In addition, the Cui family also clearly mentioned that the Zhao family lacked money just now, and then took out the jewelry pawned by his daughter-in-law, which means that their Zhao family has been reduced to the point of living on the dowry of his daughter-in-law...... If you want to refute it, Cui Shi will definitely "question" Wang Qifang in person, and at that time, he will have to pull out the matter of recuperating from the farm...... Alas, left and right are inappropriate!

“…… This gold necklace with mussel beads around gemstones is composed of a total of 28 ruby sapphires, and the gold beads set with sapphires are strung together into a chain, and the pendant below is a ruby-encrusted Baohua pendant, and a dettrum-shaped sapphire hangs from the pendant...... Don't say anything else, but say that this droplet-shaped sapphire is worth more than 100 gold......" Cui Shi explained carefully, while gently rubbing the gem on the gold bead with his fingers, remembering the past, he said in a low tone: "This jewelry, this jewelry, do you know who used it?" ”

"No, I don't know, hehe, I guess it's also a nobleman!"

Mrs. Zhao smiled unnaturally.

"Noble? Not really," Cui shook his head, "This was my dowry back then, and when my aunt got married, I personally put this gold necklace into her makeup and used it for her makeup!" ”

What the? This is Choi's dowry?!

The look on Mrs. Zhao's face became more and more embarrassed, as the mother-in-law in charge, it was the first time she had experienced it when her daughter-in-law's family pointed her nose and asked where her daughter-in-law's dowry went.

"Mrs. in-laws, you have wronged our wife!"

Just when Mrs. Zhao didn't know how to answer, a delicate female voice came from outside the door.

Immediately afterwards, Aunt Su accompanied Wang Su, who came in a hurry, into the main hall.

"But no, it's obvious that your niece doesn't know how to manage and has lost her own marriage, you don't educate your niece, but you come to question Mrs. Zhao, it's really unreasonable!"

After listening to his sister's cry, Su Shi hated Wang Qifang who killed the fetus in his sister's womb. Now that she heard Wang Qifang's aunt scolding Mrs. Zhao in a different way, she completely forgot the identity of the other party and couldn't help but shout.

Cui's eyelids were not raised, and he was still sitting elegantly in the chair. It was the grandmother behind her, who flashed two steps sideways, and asked with a straight look: "I don't know which wife this lady is, and in what capacity is talking to my wife now?!" ”
