Chapter 69: The Law of Moving the Family; Greedy for ink dowry

Soon Xin Yuanwen came back, his face was not very good when he went out, but now when he came back, his face was even darker as if he could drip ink.

He glared at Zhang Yunhui fiercely, looked at the old lady, and then looked at Xin Nianyan, but he didn't know what to say.

The old lady sneered: "How is it, asked out?" ”

Xin Yuanwen nodded, and his voice was dull: "Well, I asked." ”

"What about the facts, got it?" The old lady asked again.

Xin Yuanwen continued to nod: "I know, I blamed Yan'er by mistake." ”

It's just a sentence, but it doesn't mean anything.

Of course, it was impossible for the old lady to let him apologize to Xin Nianyan, who was a daughter, but glanced at Zhang Yunhui and asked: "Then you say, Zhang's she is telling right and wrong, reversing black and white, how to deal with it?" ”

After a pause, without waiting for Xin Yuanwen to speak, she said again: "You have thought clearly, this is still in front of the ancestors and ancestors, if they know that you married such a woman who tells right and wrong, and you are instigated by her to lose your brains, I am afraid that they will be angry!" ”

At this time, Xin Yuanwen's idea of wanting to say two words for Zhang Yunhui was directly pinched down.

Taking a deep breath, he said, "Since that's the case, let's start the family law." ”

Zhang Yunhui's face changed greatly: "Master! ”

She glanced at the family method that was taken out by the housekeeper, and her face turned pale.

This thing hits the body, but the skin will be open!

Two whips down, she won't be able to get out of bed for three months!

It's much more terrifying than kneeling in the ancestral hall!

The old lady also didn't expect Xin Yuanwen to talk about the family law, but looking at the family law that had already been invited, she thought that if she didn't come over today, the family law might be moved on Xin Nianyan, and she lost any pity.

Not allowing Xin Yuanwen to regret it, she said coldly: "Then let's do it!" ”

The two mothers-in-law stepped forward to hold Zhang Yunhui, and the housekeeper was holding a special whip, which had sharp barbs on the whip, which made people's hairs stand on end just by looking at it.

Zhang Yunhui screamed in horror and struggled hard, but she couldn't break free at all.

Xin Yuanwen couldn't bear to turn his head.

So, the family method that was originally going to be used on Xin Nianyan was used on Zhang Yunhui.

As soon as the whip went down, Zhang Yunhui's screams resounded throughout the ancestral hall and spread outside, and the people shivered fiercely.

After two whips, Zhang Yunhui was already dizzy, and the back of her buttocks had already soaked out red blood.

The housekeeper still wanted to fight again, but Xin Yuanwen finally relented: "Enough." ”

After he became a big official, he imitated those high-ranking officials and eunuchs in Beijing, and the whip was also specially made by Chen Shiying back then.

But he didn't want to use the family law for the first time, it would be on his beloved.

Xin Yuanwen took a deep breath and said to the old lady: "Mother, it's almost, she didn't make any big mistakes. ”

The old lady also knew that she couldn't go too far, so she snorted coldly and agreed.

Xin Yuanwen was about to ask someone to carry Zhang Yunhui down to treat his injuries, but Xin Nianyan suddenly spoke up.

"Wait a minute."

The two mothers-in-law made a move, and Xin Yuanwen looked at her dissatisfied: "What else do you want to do?" ”

The old lady was also puzzled.

Xin Nianyan took two steps forward, walked to Chen Shiying's tablet, and said with a light smile: "Father, grandmother, I am dissatisfied with you for saying that Yan'er has something to do today, and I want to ask my father and grandmother to call the shots." ”

"Yan'er, what's the matter, you say." The old lady said softly.

Xin Yuanwen didn't speak, but his face was full of impatience.

Xin Nianyan didn't care, and said to herself: "Grandmother, that's the case, Yan'er heard her grandmother say that her mother married into the Xin family and brought a lot of dowry, Yan'er was very curious, and went to the small treasury before her mother's death two days ago to check it, but found that the dowry was gone, Yan'er was worried about whether someone in the house had stolen it, so she wanted to ask her grandmother and father to check it thoroughly." ”

She specifically mentioned Mrs. Chen, just to remind them that if this matter was not thoroughly investigated, she did not dare to guarantee that she would not go to Chen's house to complain.

Old Madam Xin and Xin Yuanwen didn't expect her to suddenly talk about it, and they were both stunned.

The two glanced at each other, and after a while, the old lady said: "Yan'er, I'm afraid your father doesn't know about this, he doesn't care about the back house after all." ”

When Chen Shiying got married, she did bring a lot of dowry, and she walked almost three streets, and Xin Yuanwen was only a five-grade petty official at that time, because of this matter, it made him have a long face in front of other dignitaries in the capital.

After Chen Shiying's death, everything about her slowly faded away in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and they rarely mentioned everything about Chen Shiying for so many years.

If it weren't for Xin Nianyan mentioning it at this time, she wouldn't have remembered that there was such a thing as a dowry.

But what Xin Nianyan said was that so many dowries were gone.

Thinking back to Zhang Yunhui's family for more than ten years, what else can she do except be greedy for ink by her.

greedy for his wife's dowry, this is despised by outsiders, if it is spread, I don't know how many people will laugh at Xin Yuanwen.

So regardless of whether Xin Yuanwen knew about it or not, the old lady's first reaction was to pick him up.

"Really?" Xin Nianyan looked at Xin Yuanwen, the corners of his mouth were faint smiles, and his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people.

Xin Yuanwen was stunned for a while before he opened his eyes.

He suddenly thought of one thing, that is, Zhang Yunhui had indeed mentioned it to him back then, saying that the silver in the house was not enough, and asked if he could use some Chen Shiying's dowry to fill it.

He didn't care at the time, thinking that everyone was dead anyway, and the dowry was not his prime minister's, so he nodded.

"Your mother has been dead for so many years, and the dowry will naturally be confiscated in the mansion, what are you still doing with this." Xin Yuanwen said unhappily.

"Huh? It turned out that it wasn't stolen by someone. Xin Nianyan pretended to be surprised, "But father, daughter once heard from her grandmother that a woman's dowry is a woman's private property, and no one can touch it except her children." ”

"Although my mother is gone, Yan'er is her own daughter, and her daughters are still there, how can the dowry be confiscated, my grandmother didn't tell Yan'er that there is this rule."

Hearing that she was a grandmother when she opened and closed her mouth, Xin Yuanwen finally became angry: "Grandmother, grandmother, who is your father and mother, don't forget your surname Xin, if you want to listen to the Chen family, just go to the Chen family to live!" ”

Xin Nianyan blinked, her eyes immediately turned red, and she said aggrievedly: "Father, I'm sorry, it's all the daughter's fault, the daughter shouldn't make her father angry, and the daughter is also worried that this matter will spread and affect her father's reputation, since the father doesn't want to say it, then the daughter doesn't mention it." ”

After that, she turned around again, knelt down in front of Chen Shiying's tablet, and burst into tears: "Mother, I'm sorry, it's my daughter who is useless......"
