Chapter Eighteen: The Dowry Is Gone
Liu Yunxiang came to the door. The second lady had already hung the white silk ribbon on the door beam, and she also stepped on the wooden stool, looking very chaste.
The old lady came in a hurry and almost tripped because she was so panicked.
The second young master, the third young master, the fourth young lady and the fifth young lady also came over. The two young gentlemen tried hard to persuade her, but the fourth girl was so anxious that she cried. Xiao Wu was still dumbfounded and didn't know what was going on.
When the second lady saw Liu Yunxiang, she pointed at her and cursed: "Liu Yunxiang, if you bully me and humiliate me, I won't let you go even if you are a ghost!"
Just when Liu Yunxiang was about to speak, the old lady pointed at her angrily, "You are such a scourge, I really shouldn't have let the third child marry you in the first place, causing my palace to have no peace!"
"If I swallow my anger, then I will have peace, right?"
"You are sharp-tongued and aggressive. Is this your attitude towards your elders? Kneel down quickly to your second sister-in-law, kowtow and beg her for forgiveness!"
Liu Yunxiang laughed, "Why do I ask her to forgive? What's the point of this?"
"Third aunt, please kowtow and let the second aunt come down first. If this news spreads, the Marquis's house will lose face, and how will I gain a foothold in the Imperial College." The second young master said anxiously.
"If my mother is good or bad, will you feel at ease?" the third young master said with a green face.
"We respect you on weekdays, but you insult my mother!" the fourth girl cried and shouted.
Xiao Wu looked around, walked to Liu Yunxiang, and held her hand.
Liu Yunxiang rubbed Xiaowu's head and asked the three of them one by one: "Second Young Master, for the sake of your face, you make me kneel down? Third Young Master, I didn't do anything evil, why don't you feel at ease? Fourth Young Master, are you really so normal on weekdays?"
Do you respect me?"
The three of them were speechless, and the second lady cried even more sadly and angrily.
"Liu Yunxiang, you will get retribution!"
"I also believe that evil will be punished, but God is blind, so I can only avenge myself."
At this time, the housekeeper trotted over and said to the old lady: "Dali Temple has sent word that it is possible to visit the second master in prison."
The old lady couldn't believe what she heard, "Can you say it again?"
"We can go visit the second master!"
What does this mean? It means that this case has a clue, and Dali Temple is selling them to the Hou Mansion to save face.
Liu Yunxiang groaned, "This is a great thing."
She walked to the old lady and whispered: "It seems that the traitor is very satisfied with the second sister-in-law."
"this……"
"The second sister-in-law must have tried her best to save the second master last night."
The old lady coughed dryly and said, "Shut up!"
"Anyway, I'm not as good as the second sister-in-law. After all, I can't let go of the third master. But at this critical moment, the second master will be home soon, so the second sister-in-law has to work harder!"
The old lady's thoughts changed, and she sent the children back to their respective rooms first, and then directed the two wives around her to pull the second lady down, "Second daughter-in-law, in order for the second son to go home as soon as possible, I have to wrong you."
The second lady was stunned, "What do you mean, mother?"
"Tonight, I'll have someone take you to Orchid Garden."
The second lady's eyes widened, "Mother, how could you say such a thing!"
"You also hope that the second child can come back soon, right?"
"No, I will never go again!"
The old lady snorted, "It's not up to you!"
After that, he asked the two women to take him away.
Liu Yunxiang broke into a cold sweat watching this dog-eating-dog scene.
Yan Mu, this bastard, is so damaged that he actually has a back-up plan.
In the next few days, the second lady was sent to Orchid Garden every night.
Liu Yunxiang didn't know what happened to her, but every day the door of the second-bedroom courtyard was locked and guarded by the women around the old lady. From a distance, she could hear the shrill cries coming from inside.
That afternoon, just as Liu Yunxiang lay down, Accountant Hu came.
She was lethargic these days, eating little, and often couldn't cheer up. After Jinyan helped her up, she woke her up with a wet handkerchief, and fed her two mouthfuls of water.
After she leaned on the Arhat's bed, Jin Yan led the accountant Hu in.
"Mr. Hu, why is it so urgent?"
Accountant Hu wiped his sweat when he came in, hesitated for a moment and then said: "I went to the Silk Satin Manor this morning to check the accounts. It was only when I went that I found out that the Silk Satin Manor had changed hands."
"What?" Liu Yunxiang sat up straight.
"It is said that our family has sold the entire silk and satin shop with the deed."
Liu Yunxiang was stunned for a while before she understood what it meant, which meant that someone had sold her things. She knew who it was without even thinking about it. The deeds to her shops were all with the old lady.
"Not only the silk and satin shop, but also Rouge Studio in Xicheng and hundreds of acres of farmland on the outskirts of the city have been sold. All that's left of your dowry is a barren orchard on the west mountain. I guess I can't sell it, so I kept it."
When Jin Yan heard this, his face turned pale, "Madam, I am an upright man. Madam has saved all these dowries for you for many years, but now they are all gone."
Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath, "Can I still get her back?"
The accountant shook his head: "The deed of yours is a white deed. Whoever holds it belongs to him and can't get it back."
