Chapter 481 Return of the dowry
It's so shameless that Liu Yunxiang really doesn't know what to scold her.
She stood at the door and didn't move, wanting to hear what Mrs. Liu said.
"Madam Gan, go to the Western Pianyuan to call the disaster star. I have something to ask her."
Liu Yunxiang sneered, opened the curtain and walked in, looked at Mrs. Liu, and saw that she was a little guilty, her eyes drifted, "I came by coincidence. I was just hearing the wife say who is the disaster star, and I don't know who to say?"
Mrs. Liu paused and then said, "You are indeed a coincidence. Your family urgently needs some money. You should make up for it."
"What's the point?"
"Just just take the money."
"If I don't say it clearly, I don't."
"As a mother, I talk to you, don't you give me any face?" Mrs. Liu said angrily.
"How much is the face worth of Mrs.?"
"you!"
Liu Yunxiang breathed a sigh of relief. If she had asked her for money normally, she would not be stingy, let alone 1,000 taels or 10,000 taels. But if this money was used to save Liu Er, it would not work. She was not that noble, and she would spend money to save someone who was trying to harm her.
Cheng's thoughts changed and said, "If you say so, my aunt still has some kind of self-confidence. If you have, take out some. Look, the aunt is anxious. You are too unfilial to be a daughter."
"I am not filial, are you filial?" Liu Yunxiang raised her eyebrows.
Cheng smiled, "Of course I respect the aunt."
"Then you get the money!"
"I...I'm not without it."
"Hehe, just be filial."
Cheng was so blocked that he glared at Liu Yunxiang secretly.
At this time, the servant in the front yard ran over and said he couldn't stop him. The other party would not give up if he didn't get the money today.
Mrs. Liu held her forehead and had no choice but to explain to Liu Yunxiang patiently: "Your second uncle owed money in the gambling house. Today, someone came to ask for debts and said he would not pay back the money, so he smashed our Minister's Mansion."
Liu Yunxiang shouted, "It was originally to pay off the debt for Liu Er. Since it was the disaster he caused, he should bear it."
"He is your second uncle after all."
"Madam, I'll forget it. He urged you to drive me out two days ago?"
Mrs. Liu sighed in a deep breath. Seeing Liu Yunxiang like this, she would definitely not be willing to pay the money. She had to take out the 1,000 taels of silver she raised and asked Madam Gan to take two gold hairpins and two pairs of jade bracelets.
"These jewelry is about 500 taels after being combined. I can't take out any more. You can give it to them and make it clear to them. If we make trouble again, we will report it to the official."
Cheng hurriedly took these things, and when he lowered his head, the corner of his mouth bent uncontrollably, "I'll give it to them, the aunt has a good rest, and when they are sent away, I'll go to the kitchen to make chicken soup for you."
"Go."
Cheng was holding something and turned around and was about to walk away.
"Wait!" Liu Yunxiang stopped Cheng and asked, "How much does Liu Er owes the gambling house?"
Cheng was guilty and shouted: "Auntie, since you are unwilling to use money to save your uncle, don't ask so much!"
Liu Yunxiang looked at Mrs. Liu, "How many?"
Mrs. Liu was exhausted and said, "One thousand five hundred taels."
Liu Yunxiang looked at Cheng: "It's really one thousand five hundred taels?"
Cheng was in a hurry to go out and wanted to bypass Liu Yunxiang, but whenever she blocked the road, she could only hurriedly say: "It's indeed 1,500 taels. Auntie, don't block the road. I have to give the money back to others quickly!"
Liu Yunxiang sneered, "But I just came back from the front yard and asked the people in the gambling house. They said it was 1,000 taels, but why did it take you to say 1,500 taels? Are you going to eat the extra 500 taels?"
Cheng widened his eyes and became dumbfounded for a moment. Unexpectedly, Liu Yunxiang had already been to the front yard.
"I……"
When Mrs. Liu heard this, she was so angry that she slapped the table, "What's going on in Yunchang's family?"
Cheng shivered and turned around dullly, "It must be... it must be that my aunt heard it wrong..."
"Call them over and ask carefully, then you'll know." Liu Yunxiang said.
Mrs. Liu nodded to Madam Gan. Madam Gan was about to go out, but Cheng hurriedly said, "I heard it wrong. It's indeed a thousand taels. Don't call them."
Mrs. Liu was so angry that she was breathing. No matter how stupid the person was, she knew what was going on. In order to save her father-in-law, she would have to make money without paying money, but she would still have to make profits from it.
Cheng clearly knew what was going on in the mansion. Her husband was locked in the Ministry of Justice. She couldn't afford to get sick and had no way to ask for help. She wanted to handle some but couldn't make up the money.
But in order to help their second wife, she squeezed out one thousand taels and even put in the jewelry she had left.
If their second wife knows gratitude, they cannot do such a thing!
Seeing Mrs. Liu like this, Cheng explained a lot. Seeing that Mrs. Liu's face had not improved yet, she had to put down the jewelry first and said, "I'll use this money to send the people from the gambling house away."
As he said that, Cheng hurriedly ran away.
"Madam Gan, follow her and you must see her give the money to those people." Madam Liu said to Madam Gan beside her.
Madam Gan nodded, "I'll go now."
At this time, only Mrs. Liu and Liu Yunxiang were left in the hall, and the mother and daughter were already far away.
"I got married back then, you prepared a generous dowry for me. This dowry allowed me to survive many difficult times." Liu Yunxiang said as she took out a few silver notes from her arms, walked to Mrs. Liu, and put it on the table.
"This is one hundred thousand taels."
Mrs. Liu widened her eyes, "You, how could you have so much money?"
"Madam just hold it, just say I'll give you the dowry you gave back then."
Mrs. Liu looked at the silver notes on the table, her nose was sore and her eyes were blurred. She remembered her mood when she prepared her daughter's dowry. The Minister's Mansion was not those aristocratic families, and her family was not well-off. Because she was afraid that her daughter would be looked down upon by the Marquis Mansion, she took out most of the dowry she brought and pieced together more than ten boxes.
But in fact, it was not 100,000 taels in total, and she gave a lot more.
"I never thought of getting the dowry I gave you."
"You'd better take it, I'll feel uneasy if you owe you."
"Yun Xiang..." Mrs. Liu looked up at Liu Yunxiang, "Mom has done a lot of wrong things before, can't you forgive her?"
Liu Yunxiang took a step back, "I can forgive me, but can we still be like before?"
"Of course, I will do my best to be nice to you."
"You also said that you need to do your best, but the true mother and daughter's feelings are naturally revealed, not deliberate, so we can't go back after all. Since both sides are awkward, it's better to be like this. I promised you to save Mr. Liu before, but I won't break my promise. You can keep these money yourself and use it for Yun Heng to marry a wife in the future."
After saying that, Liu Yunxiang walked out.
In the evening, Liu Yunheng came to the Xipianyuan to have supper with Liu Yunxiang and the others.
"My mother told her second uncle and sister-in-law that they would find a house as soon as possible to move out of the Minister's Mansion."
Liu Yunxiang sighed, "This family is very thick-skinned and will definitely want to stay with them."
"No way?"
