Chapter 21 Selling Jewelry
She still had a shred of reason, barely suppressed the anger in her heart, and slowed down her tone: "I know! You shut up! β
After making a promise, Liu Mengling really didn't knock on the window again.
The little maid breathed a sigh of relief.
may be grateful to Liu Mengling for helping her avoid being blamed, the little maid leaned against the window again, and whispered to comfort Liu Mengling: "Third Miss, you don't have to worry, Fourth Miss is to check the things in your yard, there is a grandmother by her side, you can rest assured." β
"Mama?" Liu Mengling grasped the key in the little girl's words, "What grandma?" β
"It's the grandmother next to Mrs. Liu." The little maid knew everything and said everything, "I heard that Mrs. Liu seems to have discovered something important and went to ask the master, so she sent the fourth lady to search." β
What happened to allow Liu Yanxue to lock her up so openly and search her yard and wings?
When the maid opened the door, Liu Mengling ran away without hesitation, and she returned to the courtyard where she lived like a wind, but saw Liu Yanxue with her subordinates holding boxes of gorgeous jewelry and ornaments, and happened to leave her yard.
The objects they hold in their hands look novel and expensive, and Liu Mengling only dares to press the bottom of the box with those jewelry, and will never take them out and wear them unless they are important occasions!
Seeing that her precious things were going to be taken away by Liu Yanxue, Liu Mengling's head was hot, and she quickly ran behind Liu Yanxue to snatch the things in the hands of the maids: "Liu Yanxue, you slut!" Why do you bring people to take my things? You dog minions put me down! β
Liu Mengling glanced at it, feeling distressed, those are all the treasures she pressed at the bottom of the box!
Liu Yanxue didn't bother to look at her, and with a slight flash, she fell to the ground.
Facing Liu Mengling's resentful gaze, Liu Yanxue looked indifferent: "Don't be in a hurry to bite people, I don't touch anything that belongs to you." β
"What about these? The hairpin, the jade Buddha, and the pendant are all mine! Liu Mengling sat on the ground abruptly, her eyes swept over the maids like knives, "Liu Yanxue, if you dare to rob me again, I will tell my father to go!" β
Liu Mengling thought that she had made a killer move, and if she moved out of Prime Minister Liu, Liu Yanxue would at least give some face.
But Liu Yanxue just smiled faintly: "Okay, you can go to your good father, and directly find the prime minister to be the director, so that I don't have to report to the official, my sister's trick to send herself to the prison cell is really wonderful!" β
It may be that Liu Yanxue's tone is too indifferent and frank, Liu Mengling's determined expression cracked, and her expression was hesitant: "You...... What do you mean by that? β
Seeing that Liu Mengling put away the arrogance on her body and asked about the situation in a low voice, Liu Yanxue lowered her eyes, glanced at Liu Mengling, and pointed to the gold and silver heads in the hands of the maids: "Did my good sister forget?" These are my mother's dowry, and the third sister has used it for so many years, how much interest do you plan to give? β
"Dowry?" Liu Mengling sat on the ground in a daze, a sense of dΓ©jΓ vu welled up in her heart, not long ago, she had experienced the same thing.
At that time, she occupied the yard prepared for her by Liu Yanxue's mother, and now it is a dowry!
Liu Yanxue! It's Liu Yanxue again! Why does she have to fight with herself every time?
Those things belong to her! Why? Why should Liu Yanxue, a slut, take it back!
Liu Mengling sat on the ground sluggishly, her pretty face was pale, and the resentment in her eyes was surging!
But Liu Yanxue will not feel pity for her current helplessness.
This group of people in the Liu family is a nest of jackals! If you are weak and she advances, you advance and she retreats, only if you are strong enough not to be afraid of their devouring, can you crush these little ones to death!
"You've always been glamorous, brilliant, but you're sucking my blood. The yard left by my mother, my fiancΓ©, my mother's dowry...... You're just a wretched creature on someone else's body from beginning to end. When passing by Liu Mengling, Liu Yanxue threw down a sentence with a faint expression.
Her expression was not hideous, and her tone was not intense, but Liu Mengling's whole body trembled violently.
It wasn't until Liu Yanxue and the others went away and the courtyard was quiet again, that Liu Mengling raised her hand to cover her eyes and prevent her tears from flowing.
"You're lying...... It's you! It was you Liu Yanxue who hurt me! It's all your fault! The yard is mine, the dowry is mine, and Brother Ji loves me! Hahahaha...... It's all you! It's all your! β
"You hurt me...... Liu Mengling muttered to herself, as if she had lost her soul.
Dou Yue'e and Liu Mengling's yard is not too big, and after a carpet search with more than a dozen maids, basically all the stolen goods and evidence have been found.
Counting carefully, the precious treasures handed to him by Liu Niangzi, as well as the pawn list, Prime Minister Liu Cheng's eyes turned black with anger.
He used to think that Dou Yue'e was a good lady, not only able to take care of the children, but also to manage the back house, at least in his eyes, it was quiet and peaceful.
Now he found out that Dou Yue, who had been sleeping next to his pillow, had done such a wicked thing under his nose!
Taking a deep breath, Prime Minister Liu threw the list on the ground: "I really gave her the courage of a bear heart and a leopard, and she dared to be greedy for ink so much!" β
"Let her make up for all the dowry that I am missing!" Prime Minister Liu reached out and picked up the teacup, poured a sip of tea into his stomach, and finally relieved the irritability and anger in his heart.
He looked at Liu Niangzi: "In the future, you will be responsible for all these things, you must find back all the money they are greedy for, if you can't do it, go to Dou Yue'e's mother's house to find it!" Anyway, I read the account book, she received a lot of money from her mother's family, and she should spit it all out! β
"The concubine understands." After getting Prime Minister Liu's order, Liu Niangzi raised her eyebrows proudly, walked out of the wing room with the account book, found Dou Yue'e, and said bluntly, give her three days to make up the silver, if she can't make up the money, she will use the things she has on hand to discount.
Dou Yue'e sat in the wing room with a sad face, looking at the messy wing room, even more depressed.
When she was greedy for ink, how could she have thought that there would be today?
Now that the East Window incident has happened, Prime Minister Liu Cheng has asked her to take out all the money and wealth she is greedy for, isn't that just her life? She had so little silver left in her hand that she really wanted to sell the Grange?
Looking at the usually honest Liu Niangzi, Dou Yue'e secretly gritted her teeth, this slut resented her! But she still showed a slightly flattering smile on her face: "Can you help me discuss with the master, slow down for a while, I really can't take out such a lot of silver." β
Liu Niangzi's shrewdness is even better than that of Dou Yue'e, and after listening to Dou Yue'e's words with a smile, she looked through the account book: "How long does Madam plan to extend the time?" Do you want to extend it for more than ten years? The silver village also needs interest, why don't you go directly to the prison to pay it off? β
Are you kidding! Is that kind of place for people to go?
Dou Yue'e heard Liu Niangzi mention the "big prison", her face turned pale with fright, and the gall that was originally condensed in her chest almost dissipated in an instant.
Her tone was much smoother, and she asked the maid to pour tea for Mrs. Liu, begging Mrs. Liu to give her some time: "Can you give some time for the sake of the master's face?" β
"Doesn't Madame have a grange and a shop? Why can't you afford it? Dou Yue'e not only did not get the pity and care of Liu Niangzi, but also was discovered by Liu Niangzi other industries, "I used to think that Mrs. was too generous, and the food and clothing were not like what the moon could support, at that time I suspected that Mrs. had a grange and a shop under her hands, and now I look at it, and it is true." β
After speaking, Liu Niangzi waved her pen and added the words "several Grange stores" to the account book, and when searching for Dou Yue'e's silver, she could focus on turning over Dou Yue'e's various land deeds to pay off her debts.
"If I'm not mistaken, Madame also took hundreds of thousands of taels of silver for her brother, right?" Dou Yue'e was already in a state of decay, but Mrs. Liu was still unwilling to let her go, and she still looked at the account book, "After some time, Mrs. Lao Fu will go to her mother's house to ask for something, if they are not willing to give it, they will send you all to the government, and the things will naturally be returned." β
Liu Niangzi opened her mouth for an "official mansion" and closed her mouth for a "big prison", which really made Dou Yue'e tremble when she heard it.
She hurriedly interrupted Liu Niangzi's words, and could only grit her teeth and say that she would definitely make it up, so that Liu Niangzi didn't have to worry anymore before sending people away.
After Liu Niangzi left, the courtyard finally returned to quiet, Dou Yue'e leaned against the window with a sad face, where did she spend millions of dollars? Why is she greedy for so much silver, and she is still in a state of making ends meet?
After thinking about it for a long time, Dou Yue'e went to find Liu Mengling.
Liu Mengling was also melancholy, she had only inquired about the truth several times, but it was really as Liu Yanxue said.
The impression of her mother's incomparable strength in her heart collapsed all at once.
But she has no object to rely on, Dou Yue'e came, and when the two talked, they could only be sad, gritting their teeth and scolding Liu Yanxue's ruthlessness!
"Mother, I still have some jewelry that I can sell." Hearing Dou Yue'e say that she wanted to report to the official, Liu Mengling rummaged through the cabinets.
She will be the third princess in the future! If you have endured the disaster of prison, how can you enter the door of the palace?
Therefore, she had to scrape together the money no matter what.
Thinking of Liang Ji, Liu Mengling gritted her teeth and asked the maid to turn out the clothes and jewelry that Liang Ji had given her.
After all, Liang Ji is a royal child, and he is still a favored prince, and the clothes and jewelry he carefully selected are all worth a lot of money, Dou Yue'e looked at it, and her eyes lit up.
After hearing that the clothes and jewelry were given by the third prince, she restrained her expression and asked Liu Mengling to put away her things: "After all, these are gifts from the prince, how can you take other people's gifts and sell them?" If you let the third prince know, you can still get it? β
In Dou Yue's heart, Liang Ji is their last hole card, if they lose Liang Ji, they will only be difficult to turn over in the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future! will always be crushed by Liu Yanxue's slut!
After listening to her mother's words, Liu Mengling shook her head with a wry smile: "Mother, my daughter doesn't want to lie to you, these things are indeed not given to me by the prince...... If you really want to say, he should have thrown it to me if he didn't want it. β
