Chapter 192: Search
Jiang let out a miserable howl and collapsed to the ground.
She really didn't expect that the boxes of silk and satin, jade jewelry, and all kinds of gold and silver jewelry had turned into cold stones.
Obviously when I saw it in the daytime, it was still a dazzling treasure, but at this time, in the dim light, it turned into stones without luster.
She couldn't figure it out, let alone think of it, who was so bold to transfer the dowry of the commander of the Jinyi Guard?
The plan discussed with the old lady during the day was in vain, what should she use to compensate the Li family's dowry?
She just felt that the world was spinning and everything was over. This is another woman's family, do you really want to go to the edict prison for a walk?
She is not such an ignorant woman, and she has heard a little about how cruel the edict is. I think that Li's father, Imperial Doctor Li, was taken to the edict prison by Jinyiwei. People in their fifties and sixties, when they died, heard that they were covered in blood and that there was not a single intact piece of skin.
The methods of the edict were simply chilling, and the thought of her scalp tingled and her hair stood on end. Jiang stumbled out, she had to quickly find the old lady to find an idea.
Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu had already quietly withdrawn, they had been here for so many days, and it was the first time they had seen the Jiang family so embarrassed and unbearable.
They had to hurry up and tell the girl about Jiang's embarrassment before she fell asleep. so that the girl may be happy. There is no good person in this family, and the girl has suffered a lot of grievances in the past few days, so it is time to relax.
When the Jiang family stumbled into the old lady's house, the two of them were also so excited that they ran to Cai Wei's room.
Cai Wei was hugging the book, and after hearing the movements of the two maids who were so excited that they couldn't even breathe, she turned over and sat up, and put on her coat.
The two girls had already broken through the door and gathered around her bedside, cooing, their expressions full of excitement and uncontrollable expressions.
Cai Wei listened, but she was not as excited as these two girls, but she was still happy, but she didn't expect Lu Ying to do things so neatly, leaving no trace at all. It is estimated that the Jiang family and Mrs. Wang are like headless flies, bumping around, I don't know what to do, right?
"Your family is also a wonderful person." Cai Wei is quite satisfied with Lu Ying's ability to do things.
Although he is the commander of the dignified brocade guard, he never asks for reasons to help her when she asks for it. He also did such a dirty thing in the inner house, and Cai Wei was really impressed by him.
Xiao Wu is still a little uncomfortable with the word "wonderful person", their family is handsome and handsome, dignified and chic, and it seems that it has nothing to do with "wonderful person".
"The adults in our family are never ambiguous in their work, and they never drag their feet." When Xiao Wuyi talked about his own adults, his eyes lit up and his voice rose a few degrees. Lu Ying is the object of her greatest admiration, especially in front of Cai Wei, she has to say more beautiful words.
After a good night's sleep, I got up early the next morning, and Cai Wei stood by the window and saw that the morning sun in the east had risen.
The orange light hit the body, and I couldn't help but add a little warmth.
She breathed in the fresh air and slowly stretched her waist, only to feel refreshed.
Xiao Wu Xiaoliu brought the things to wash, and Cai Wei took out a homemade toothbrush to brush her teeth in the basin, and cleaned her face again. Wipe your face dry and apply the cream you made yourself.
Xiao Wu took a sandalwood comb and combed her with the black hair.
Looking at the person in the mirror with a white face like jade and delicate and pretty facial features, Cai Wei was very satisfied. I think that at the beginning, she was the first ugly girl in Lijia Village, and no man in ten miles and eight villages looked at her more.
It is also possible for Lu Ying not to care about her appearance, to fancy her talents, and to be impressed by her medical skills. Now that I think about it, it is also such a man who is more worthy of cherishing, which will bring her happiness.
Ming'er is her wedding day, and before that, she still has to guard against the Mu family. Now that several women of the Mu family have been cornered by her, she is afraid that they will fight back. The consequences can be scary.
As soon as he finished freshening up and cleaning up, Zhang came over with the girl carrying a food box. The Zhang family is quite careful now, always accompanying the smiling face, and the eyes that look at Cai Wei are also full of awe. It seems that the dismissal she gave to the Jiang family and Wang Lao Taijun yesterday still shocked the Zhang family.
She doesn't dare to be disrespectful to this stepdaughter anymore!
"Girl, it's time to eat." Zhang is politely like a mother-in-law.
Cai Wei hummed lightly, turned around and sat down at the table. Zhang scooped a bowl of thick japonica rice porridge for her, respectfully placed it in front of her, and said with a smile, "This is the new rice from Zhuangzi this autumn, the girl tastes it, but can you still drink it?" ”
Cai Wei's eyes flashed, Zhuangzi? Is it the Zhuangzi of the Mu family or the Zhuangzi of her mother's marriage?
If the Mu family had Zhuangzi, I was afraid that they would not sit and eat empty, right?
Cai Wei remained silent, picked up the bowl, and took a small sip.
The taste is ok!
In any case, this ancient food is not polluted, and the taste is naturally good.
Besides, she is not a picky eater, what to eat, these coarse tea and light rice are just right to eat. Seeing that Cai Wei had slowly finished drinking a bowl of porridge, Zhang quickly scooped two more spoonfuls for her, so she couldn't hold it back, stepped forward, and asked mysteriously, "Girl, have you heard?" The old lady and your aunt are already jumping up. ”
"What's going on?" Cai Wei deliberately pretended not to know, held the bowl, and drank slowly.
"My girl whispered over there, and I guess I can't pay your mother's dowry." Zhang is quite sensitive to this issue.
If you really can't pay for it, will the Lord Lu Commander really put Wang Lao Taijun and the Jiang family in prison?
Isn't this family the only one?
For so many years, he has been living under the clouds of Wang Laotaijun and the Jiang family, and the Zhang family does not know which day he will come out. So she was very interested in what Cai Wei would do with Wang Lao Taijun and the Jiang family.
Anyway, the snipe and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit!
Zhang felt that his good luck had come all of a sudden, and he couldn't stop it. She has been oppressed for so long, and now she is about to turn over, and she is naturally excited to help herself, with a smile in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
Cai Wei secretly sneered, thinking to herself, this Zhang is also a shallow eyelid, and he didn't forget to step on it at this time.
If it were to change her downfall, it is estimated that Zhang's feet would be heavier, right?
However, there is no direct conflict between her and the Zhang family, and even if there is, it is very small, compared to Wang Lao Taijun and the Jiang family, it is simply a small thing!
If she hadn't known Lu Ying early and would marry him, how would she have rebelled against Wang Lao Taijun and the Jiang family? If they make the decision to marry her to the family of a fool in Jinling, will her life be over?
Of course, in fact, without Lu Ying, Caiwei would not sit still, it is a big deal to run away from marriage or shave her head to be a sister-in-law, how can she not be at the mercy of those two vicious women?
After breakfast, there was no need for Cai Wei to say, Zhang took Cai Wei to Mrs. Wang's house to have a look.
"Girl, if your grandmother and your aunt really have something to do, how can you be good?" Zhang's words were choked up, and he spoke sadly, as if Cai Wei was the murderer who forced Wang Lao Taijun and Jiang to death, even if the two of them were still safe and sound.
Cai Wei glanced back at Zhang in surprise, not understanding what her purpose was in saying this.
But after a while, Cai Wei tasted Zhang's meaning.
She was asking if Wang Lao Taijun and the Jiang family really couldn't pay the dowry, would Cai Wei really let Lu Ying send them to the edict prison?
If Cai Wei's thunder is heavy and the rain is small, it is estimated that the Zhang family is not afraid of Cai Wei asking whether she also used those dowries? Then she won't have to be afraid. Even if you use it, you will have to fool it when the time comes.
If Cai Wei really dares to be unpopular, then she has to weigh how many taels she has, and she has to think of a way to fill that loophole.
Zhang's is now the grass on the wall, and wherever the wind is strong, it will be crooked!
Cai Wei can be regarded as understood.
In Zhang's opinion, this dowry is a two-room dowry. Even if the flowers have to be spent on the second room, what qualifications do Wang Lao Taijun and the Jiang family have to intervene? It's not their turn!
Now that these two are forced to compensate for the dowry spent, Zhang can't help but be afraid for a while, but fortunately, she is suppressed by these two women on weekdays, and she has no chance to take advantage of it. Otherwise, she will be forced to pay the dowry, and she will be the unlucky. If Mrs. Wang and the Jiang family paid for it, maybe Cai Wei would be soft-hearted and could give her some casually.
Zhang's wishful thinking, more and more accompanied by courtesy.
Cai Wei was a little disdainful of his salivating face, but she didn't want to worry about her.
Compared with Wang Lao Taijun and the Jiang family, the Zhang family really didn't spend much!
The five and six little ones hugged Caiwei, followed by Zhang, Mu Caisu, and Mu Caiping, and a group of people drove to Wang Laotaijun's courtyard.
Zhang's heart is full of satisfaction.
I didn't expect that I hadn't been able to fight these two people for more than ten years, and now as soon as this stepdaughter came, the situation was reversed.
In this way, this stepdaughter is still her lucky star.
"Girl, listen, I don't know what's going on inside?" Zhang stepped forward and leaned into Cai Wei's ear, although he tried his best to suppress his excitement, there was still the slightest hint in the voice that had changed his tune.
Cai Wei snorted disdainfully, but didn't say anything.
When I entered the courtyard, I saw that the main entrance of the hall was wide open, and Mrs. Wang and Jiang were sitting on the threshold one by one, their hair was scattered, their faces were haggard and withered, their eyes were blank, and they were relatively speechless.
The girl whispered in their ears, "Old lady, wife, the second girl is here." ”
As soon as they heard the "second girl", the two of them trembled with excitement, and the two pairs of eyes immediately shot towards Cai Wei, with resentment and hatred in them, as well as indescribable emotions.
"Old lady, eldest lady, the one-day deadline has arrived, please sort out my mother's dowry and return it to me." Cai Wei's voice was extremely faint, so faint that it seemed to be invisible, but it was extremely clear, and everyone could hear it clearly.
As soon as these words fell, the expressions of Wang Lao Taijun and Jiang Shi were stagnant, and immediately, the two of them rushed to Cai Wei as if they had discussed.
"Girl, good girl......" The two of them were about to hug Cai Wei's legs one by one, but they were carried out by Xiao Wu and Liu like chickens.
Cai Wei took two steps back and looked at the two men with a look of disgust.
What does this do? If you can't pay for it, will you play tricks?
"Old lady, aunt, I only need my mother's dowry, don't come with me." She lowered her eyes, her tone was light, but full of determination.
Even if you go all day long, you can take advantage of it, and it will be boring for Wang Lao Taijun and the Jiang family to play tricks again.
"Girl, girl, we are your relatives, you can't let Commander Lu send us to prison." Mrs. Wang shed tears as she spoke, and the appearance of old tears was really pitiful.
It's just that Cai Wei is not moved at all, this old lady is crying in her clothes, she wants to win her sympathy, is it possible?
Why didn't she want to think about how desperate she would have been when she almost married her to a fool, if it weren't for Lu Ying!
At that time, presumably even if she cried bitterly, Mrs. Wang and the Jiang family would not let her go, right?
All this they owe her, she just takes back her mother's things.
Wang Lao Taijun and Jiang Shi looked at Shang Caiwei's indifferent eyes, and they knew that there was no hope this time.
The two of them are still dying and struggling, but now they are slowly despairing.
Li's dowry is still a trivial matter, the key is that the dowry sent by Lu Ying yesterday disappeared.
They, they don't even know who did it, how can they explain to Lu Ying?
If that master is angry, the Mu family is afraid that they will not be able to bear it.
It's really said that Cao Cao will arrive when Cao Cao arrives.
Just when Wang Lao Taijun and the Jiang family were thinking hard about countermeasures, the person on the door came to report that Commander Lu had arrived.
According to custom, the day before a woman gets married, the dowry comes first.
Now Lu Ying personally brought someone here, not only to carry away Cai Wei's dowry, but also to send him a dowry.
Yesterday, he told Brother Mu Dongsheng that he was afraid that Caiwei's dowry would not be rich at that time, so he deliberately added some more dowry.
The implication is that those dowries are just a night at the Mu family.
Before Wang Lao Taijun and the Jiang family could come up with any good countermeasures, Lu Ying strode in with a few Jinyi Wei's subordinates.
Brother Mu Dongsheng was not at home, so Lu Ying took someone to the flower hall first to carry the dozen or so boxes.
Wang Lao Taijun and Jiang's hearts were in their throats, they only hoped that Lu Ying would not open it, and it was best to carry it home, and if anything happened to them on the second day, it would be okay for them.
The two of them were up and down in their hearts, secretly praying that Lu Ying would never open the box for inspection.
But the more you worry about something, the more things happen.
In the flower hall, there was a sudden exclamation, which could be heard clearly even in their small courtyard.
"My lord, what's wrong, why are there all stones in this box?" A man's rough voice came, which shook Old Taijun Wang and the Jiang family.
"Open all the boxes." Lu Ying's voice, like an awl, drilled into the hearts of Wang Taijun and the Jiang family all at once.
They were chilling, and they could already predict what it was like to be covered by all kinds of terrible torture instruments in the prison.
"My lord, no, all the contents of the box have been replaced with stones." The rough male voice from earlier seemed to gasp in disbelief.
Mrs. Wang and the Jiang family were so frightened that they forgot to cry and couldn't help but lean together.
"Come on, search for me, and search the Mu family for me." Lu Ying was obviously angry, and led people to break into the inner courtyard of Wang Lao Taijun.
