In the study of An Guogong's Mansion, An Yueli and Mrs. Jiang sat on the main seat, but the Yue family could only stand in front of them, and the difference in the status of the two sides was very obvious.

An Yueli's fingers tapped lightly on the armrest, and her furious-edged gaze seemed to scrape off Yue's skin at any time.

"Do you remember, where did you hide your mother's dowry?"

Yue pursed his lips and asked, "What evidence do you have to prove that I stole the dowry?" ”

After Mrs. Jiang regained the housekeeper's power, she also checked the accounts of the mansion, but in the three years of the Yue family's housekeeper, the account books were chaotic, and no useful clues could be found at all.

It is precisely because of this that the Yue clan dares to deny death.

"Since you can't produce evidence, then I won't accompany you."

However, just as she was about to turn around, she heard the message from the little guy outside the door.

"An Guogong has arrived!"

Yue's heart pounded, and he involuntarily clenched his handkerchief.

"Sir, why are you here?"

An Guogong stepped into the study, and just seeing the three people gathered in the room was a headache.

"I just came back from the yamen, and my official business hasn't been finished yet, what are you doing here?"

An Yueli got up without hurry, and explained softly while giving the chair to the other party.

"It's nothing, it's nothing more than that Mrs. Yue stole her mother's dowry, and the daughter hopes that she can return the things as soon as possible. I invited my father here today to give you a witness. ”

As soon as these words came out, An Guogong's eyelids jumped. He looked sideways at Yue, and the two exchanged glances in tacit understanding.

"Dowry?"

An Guogong pretended to think about it and muttered, "Hasn't your mother's dowry always been kept by herself, how can you ask the Yue family for it?" ”

An Yueli raised her eyebrows, "When my father drove our mother and daughter to Beiyuan, we were not allowed to bring any private belongings, and my mother's sky-high dowry was naturally still in the main courtyard. ”

"This ......" An Guogong looked at the Yue clan again, "Is there such a thing?" ”

Someone supported him, and Yue's attitude immediately became more unruly.

"Master, the concubine is very wronged!

At that time, Sister Jiang was seriously ill, and the house suddenly lost her mother's operation and became chaotic. The concubine was also ordered to stabilize the situation.

Now that Sister Jiang's illness is cured, she will unload the mill and kill the donkey, and she will also deduct this trumped-up charge on the concubine. ”

An Yueli sighed lightly, "What was the truth back then, we all know it in our hearts, why are you pretending here." I'll just ask, where did you hide your mother's dowry? ”

Yue's red eyes stopped talking, and his aggrieved and stubborn appearance made people feel distressed.

"Yueli, this is your fault." An Guogong interrupted An Yueli's interrogation, "It's been so long, and there is no evidence, how can you think that the Yue clan stole your mother's dowry?" He said without forgetting to teach Mrs. Jiang a lesson, "Qinglan, you don't care about Guan Yueli, look at what she has become now." ”

Mrs. Jiang, who had been silent, finally opened her mouth after hearing this.

"The mother is weak and the son is strong, and the Yueli is arrogant or arrogant, it is all because of me, who is not angry as a mother, that she is tired to worry about me."

She beckoned to An Yueli gently, and only sighed softly when the other party came up.

"I thought that a good student discussion in private would solve the matter, but I didn't know that I got nothing. Or are you right, this matter should have been handed over to the Kyoto Prefecture from the beginning. ”

"Kyoto?" An Guogong pricked up his ears keenly and alertly, "Why is this matter still related to the Yamen?" ”

An Yueli snorted coldly: "The birthday of the county lord of Chunxiao, all the celebrities in Beijing went to congratulate, among them, Su Man, the daughter of Su Mansion, happened to wear a green jade necklace to attend. ”

As she spoke, she observed Yue's indication and noticed that the other party was visibly shaking when she heard the jade necklace.

"Su Man compared with me to show off, but I recognized the necklace as one of my mother's dowries.

Later, under the auspices of the eldest princess and the lord of Chunxiao, the truth was found out, and Su Man's mother and daughter finally admitted that the necklace was given by the Yue clan back then. ”

An Yueli took out the confession that had been prepared long ago from her sleeve and slapped it heavily on the desk.

The eldest princess was furious when she heard this, and invited an official from Kyoto Prefecture to record her confession on the spot. Mrs. Yue, are you still satisfied with this evidence? ”

Yue's eyes were cracked, and he never dreamed that the other party could come up with such ironclad evidence. Just when her face was blue and white, An Guogong was so anxious that she stood up.

"You mean, the eldest princess investigated the origin of the jade necklace in front of everyone, and left a record in the official mansion?"

"Of course, the eldest princess has a straightforward personality, and she hates this kind of trick the most."

"But this is a family ugly after all! You are angry and make trouble in the government, how can I still mix in the court in the future!? ”

"That's why we wanted to settle the matter privately.

As long as Mrs. Yue returns all the stolen dowry, we will naturally go back to the government to eliminate the case. But if she wants to deny her conscience, then we can only let the government intervene in the investigation. ”

"You!"

An Guogong was so angry that his heart choked, so he hung up and fell directly over.

Yue Shi was even more frightened, and hurriedly rushed over and grabbed the other party's sleeve.

"Master, you have to be the master of the concubine."

Without waiting for An Guo to open his mouth, An Yueli once again made up the knife accurately.

"Actually, everyone is a family, what is there to discuss.

If Mrs. Yue is unable to return the dowry as it is, she can also offset it with gold and silver. It really can't be used, and it is okay to use those rare antiques in my father's treasury to pay off the debt. ”

"No! No way! Those are my treasures, and no one is allowed to beat them! ”

An Guogong refused again and again without thinking about it, completely forgetting that in order to do what he liked, the Yue family privately exchanged Mrs. Jiang's dowry for antiques to please him.

An Yueli shrugged her shoulders, "Then you husband and wife will discuss it yourself." Anyway, in three days, the government will come to the government to arrest people, pay back the money or go to jail, you choose. ”

Yue's heart was furious, and he dragged An Guogong to the ground and didn't let go.

"Master, you want to help the concubine! If the concubine is taken away by the government, it will also be your face. ”

"Are you embarrassed?"

An Guogong was so annoyed that he flicked his sleeves twice and didn't shake people off, and simply pointed at Yue's nose and asked.

"Who made you scheming and stealing Qinglan's dowry? Now that the matter is revealed, why don't you hurry up and return the things? ”

In the face of An Guogong's accusation, the sourness and anger in Yue's heart blended, as if he wanted to refine her body.

"Master, over the years, you have wanted to join the ranks, and it has always been the concubine who has been helping to take care of it. Don't you know where all this money comes from?

Now you let the concubine bear these debts alone, are you forcing the concubine to go to the gate of the Guogong Mansion to hang herself!? ”
