"You exchanged your life for your daughter's life back then, but your daughter has no way to get your things back, I'm sorry, mother, it's all daughter's bad, daughter's useless, daughter will go to her grandmother tomorrow to plead guilty, saying that your dowry has been confiscated by her father's mansion......"

Xin Nianyan cried a handful of snot and tears, not to mention how sad she was.

Xin Yuanwen's face instantly darkened like water.

Xin Nianyan is threatening him again!

Even the old lady's face was not very good, but as soon as she saw Xin Yuanwen's appearance, she knew that he must know the inside story.

The old lady was so angry that she almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood, and asked with hatred: "Wen'er, is the dowry embezzled by the Zhang family without permission?" ”

She glared at Xin Yuanwen fiercely and warned him not to take trouble from herself, not to mention that this matter would cause trouble to the Chen family, even if it was spread out, the spit of outsiders would drown him.

She thought that it was Zhang's private take, but she didn't expect that Xin Yuanwen would also have a share in this matter.

No matter how poor her Xin family is, there is no reason to be greedy for her daughter-in-law's dowry.

As a scholar, Xin Yuanwen has a good face, where would he dare to let this matter spread and ruin his reputation.

But if Xin Nianyan really went to the Chen family to complain, he couldn't stop it.

Seeing that the old lady was trying to give herself a look, Xin Yuanwen finally gritted his teeth and said: "My son doesn't know, when the Zhang family said that the money in the house was not enough, and he wanted to borrow some dowry from Shiying, and when the silver was made up, he would return it, so I agreed without thinking too much." ”

The corners of Xin Nianyan's lips were slightly hooked, and her voice was still choked and said, "But when my daughter went to see it, she found that the dowry in it was gone." ”

"Needless to say, eighty percent of it was swallowed by the Zhang family." The old lady directly put the crime on Zhang Yunhui, glared at Zhang Yunhui, who had fainted to death, and snorted coldly: "My huge prime minister's mansion only has a few people living in total, how can there be not enough silver!" ”

She is right, Xin Yuanwen is the prime minister, and there are a lot of things rewarded by the saints alone, and it is more than enough to support such a few masters, and there is no way that there is not enough silver.

Thinking that Zhang Yunhui was not only greedy for Chen Shiying's dowry, but also very likely to be greedy for the silver of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she was even more angry.

"Wen'er, this matter must be thoroughly investigated, if it was done by the Zhang family, then let her spit it all out, do you hear it!" The old lady gave a direct and strong order.

Xin Yuanwen took a deep breath, he really didn't know anything about this kind of backhouse management and business management, at first it was Chen Shiying management, and later Zhang Yunhui.

He only knows that since he became an official, he has never lacked food and clothing, and his mother, who has worked hard for many years, has also lived a good life.

Now let him thoroughly investigate the embezzlement of dowry, and he has no way to investigate it at all.

However, the old lady had spoken, and in order to prevent the matter from spreading and ruining his reputation, he had to nod helplessly: "Got it, mother." ”

"Thank you, grandmother, thank you, father." Xin Nianyan choked up and thanked him.

The old lady looked at her deeply for a moment, and at last left without saying anything.

Although she was angry that Zhang Yunhui had embezzled Chen Shiying's dowry or the silver in the house, she could ......

Xin Nianyan's overt and secret threatening words just now still made her feel estranged in her heart.

Xin Yuanwen also glared at Xin Nianyan fiercely, and after letting Zhang Yunhui be carried back, he also threw his sleeves and left.

Xin Nianyan stood up from the ground and patted the non-existent dust on his sleeve.

"Miss, are you alright?"

Xiao Zhu saw that everyone was gone, so she dared to run in from the outside, and when she saw Xin Nianyan standing intact, her heart finally let go.

"It's okay, let's go back."

Xin Nianyan was helped out of the ancestral hall by Xiao Candle and walked all the way to Yanyun Courtyard.

Along the way, it attracted people's attention.

Everyone watched Xin Nianyan walk in front of them cautiously, and for some reason, they had some awe in their hearts for this eldest lady.

They all know about the ancestral hall.

From Xin Nianyan who dared to speak up against Xin Yuanwen, and then was taken to the ancestral hall, I thought that I was going to suffer from the family law, but I didn't expect that in the end, it became Zhang Yunhui who received the family law, and the eldest lady came out unharmed.

To say that they didn't care about this eldest lady at all in the past, then from today, their mentality will change a little.

At least they didn't dare to go to the big kitchen to cook or pick up something in the mansion like before, so they couldn't move all kinds of embarrassments, and they didn't see Xin Nianyan, the eldest lady, and some even dared to provoke openly and secretly.

Back in Yanyun Courtyard, Xiao Zhu brought hot water to Xin Nianyan to wash his hands and wipe his face, and by the way, he didn't forget to ask about being in the ancestral hall.

"Miss, what happened to you in the ancestral hall, why was it the lady who was beaten in the end?"

She was stopped outside, so she didn't know anything about the ancestral hall.

"It's nothing, it's just that my father went to check what happened by himself......

Xin Nianyan briefly said the matter, and the corners of Xiao Candle's mouth were almost grinning behind her ears when she heard it.

"Great, I'll just say it, Miss Jixing is shining, no one wants to hurt Miss, and today's matter is not about Miss, it's obviously the master who is indiscriminate!"

Listening to the little girl's words of being happy for a while and dissatisfied for a while, Xin Nianyan just smiled faintly and didn't say much.

On the other side, Xin Rouer was still excitedly waiting for Zhang Yunhui to come back and tell her how Xin Nianyan was beaten, but she didn't expect to wait for the news that Zhang Yunhui was served by the family law and fainted.

Xin Rou'er was so shocked that she almost jumped up from the bed, and glared at the person who reported the news in disbelief: "What are you talking about, my mother has passed the family law!" ”

The person nodded and cried: "Yes, second miss, Madame has been whipped twice, she has fainted to death, the doctor is treating Madame, and there is ......"

"What else?" Seeing that she wanted to speak and stopped, Xin Rouer inexplicably had a bad premonition.

"Also, the master said that he would thoroughly investigate the loss of the first lady's dowry, and if it was taken by the lady and the second lady, let you return it quickly."

"What!?"

At this time, Xin Rouer was really shocked and jumped, because the movement was too big and involved the wound, she hissed and lay back again, but the shock in her heart was indescribable.

"You say, my father wants to get back his wife's dowry?" She couldn't believe it and wanted to confirm it.

The visitor nodded: "Yes." ”

"Why, why did my father suddenly remember to get his dowry back!?" Xin Rouer asked again.

Over the years, they have moved a little bit every once in a while, and Chen Shiying's dowry library has long been emptied.

Zhang Yunhui also said that those good things will be her dowry in the future.

But what hasn't happened for more than ten years, why does it suddenly have to be thoroughly investigated......
