Zhou Xingxin did not answer immediately and said he would go back and think about it.
Just think about it.
Chu Yunli didn't have to force her like this.
It's that He Shaodong's family is indeed good-looking and has a good temperament. But you can't live by just looking at the face, you have to have some understanding of the other person's temperament.
Zhou Xingxin only saw him and devoted herself to him. If they couldn't get along, they would just torture each other after getting married. Chu Yunli had to help Hu Qingtao take care of the children.
It would be much easier to find a suitable person for Zhou Xingxin.
If it's not suitable, don't we have to trouble her with trivial matters after marriage?
The matter is put on hold for now.
Mrs. Chen left the restaurant and climbed onto the carriage. Her face was full of fear and her teeth were chattering. She hugged herself tightly and murmured: "No! No! This matter would not have been revealed back then..."
"
After chanting this for a hundred or ten times, she gradually calmed down.
"Go home!"
The carriage stopped at the gate of Chen's mansion. Mrs. Chen no longer walked in small steps as before, but strode into the door and asked: "Is there any news from the chess and painting side?"
Qiu Xi was trembling. The lady who came out of the restaurant seemed to be in a bad mood, like a sharp arrow that was about to leave the string, making her feel cold. But as a personal maid, she couldn't help but not answer, so she hurriedly said: "Alright?"
No."
"If not, send more people!" Mrs. Chen shouted: "She stole something very important from me. I want to see their family within three days!"
Just by looking at her angry expression, he knew that the master was really angry. If he couldn't find anyone... Qiu Xi felt bitter in her heart. She clearly said before that the master would be easy to take care of as long as he obeyed. How could he be so easy to take care of now?
He is moody and angry, as if he is about to get angry at any time.
The atmosphere at home has been wrong recently, and Li Xiangyu also discovered that Mrs. Chen, who used to always find fault with her and give her some advice when she went to greet her, has become very impatient with her recently. But her anger is not directed at her.
He was sent away without even entering the door.
Mrs. Chen should take care of her, she was having a hard time. But she didn't care about it all of a sudden. She felt happy but also a little uneasy.
After learning that Mr. Chen was back, he immediately went to see him.
"Dad, Mom, did something happen to her?"
Mr. Chen is rarely at home all year round, and the couple sometimes don't see each other for half a month. Before coming back today, he drank a little too much. When Zheng Xunxunran heard this, he frowned and asked, "So what?"
Did you? Did she bully you again? "
Li Xiangyu: "..."
She didn't even care about bullying her, she was a thorn in her side, something must have happened. But she couldn't say that, so she just said vaguely: "She seems to be looking for someone recently. She won't even see me when I go to say hello."
Mr. Chen waved his hand: "Don't worry about her. It's just right to ignore you so that she doesn't embarrass you."
"The wedding is next month. You should prepare well for your marriage. Don't mess around this time." Mr. Chen asked: "After entering the house, you must be filial to your elders. No matter when and where you are, no matter how angry you are, think three times in your heart before you speak.
Don't be impulsive. Don't keep thinking about going back to your parents' home. I'm not afraid to tell you that the Chen family's main income is the rent from those shops, and those are the wife's dowry. Don't keep thinking about her treating you harshly. If you coax her
Well, once your hands are loose, your life will be much easier..."
He probably drank too much, and Mr. Chen started talking more.
Li Xiangyu listened silently. Not long after, there was a slight snore in front of him. When he raised his eyes, he actually fell asleep!
What Mr. Chen said next had a great impact on Li Xiangyu. Before, she had been impatient to deal with Mrs. Chen. She felt that she was also the daughter of the Chen family. This was the Chen family. Why should she be punished by her?
Only now did I know that most of the Chen family belonged to Mrs. Chen. When she went to the main courtyard to pay her respects, she became much more obedient.
Mrs. Chen had been getting angry in the past two days and her cheeks were swollen. When she saw Li Xiangyu, she became even more impatient: "Don't hang out if you have nothing to do. Go back quickly."
Li Xiangyu bowed politely before retreating.
Mrs. Chen was a little surprised. She had been a mistress for many years and couldn't see any resentment in this little girl. That's why she didn't like this concubine. She didn't expect that she was much more docile today.
But she had something on her mind at the moment and was too lazy to take care of it.
Three days passed, but the Yao family was not found. They only heard that their carriage had gone to Fucheng, so Mrs. Chen had to send people to Fucheng to look for her. The good news is that no one came from the Yamen, and the Zhou family should not have complained yet.
Two more days passed and no one came from the Yamen. Mrs. Chen had other ideas in her mind.
It stands to reason that Chen Wanhua is now the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family. If she can get her family's wealth back, then these things from the Yuan family will be her dowry. In other words, everything she has on hand now should belong to the Zhou family.
Normal people who know that this large piece of family property belongs to them will definitely be unable to hold back and want to get it back immediately.
But the Zhou family has not taken any action... either there is no evidence, or they want to keep it secret!
Judging from the calm look of the woman from the Zhou family that day, she kept saying that she knew the whereabouts of the Yao family. She couldn't find the Yao family here, so maybe they really were in her hands.
Since we have all the evidence and still haven’t complained, it should be the latter. The Zhou family wants to keep it secret!
After all, people in the countryside are afraid of going to the Yamen.
Mrs. Chen felt that she had identified Chu Yunli's pulse, and immediately ordered someone to prepare a carriage and go out to the restaurant, and went straight to the third floor to find someone.
Chu Yunli was quite surprised to learn that Mrs. Chen came to her door. At this time, shouldn't it be the time for her to hide from her family?
What is the way to put it together?
It was still early at this time and the restaurant was not busy. With nothing to do, Chu Yunli ordered: "Invite her to come up!"
After Mrs. Chen entered the door, the waiter immediately closed the door at Chu Yunli's signal.
There were only two people left in the room, and Mrs. Chen was a little hesitant. She was afraid that if she guessed wrong, she would make more mistakes.
By this time, she felt a little regretful that she had come so abruptly.
Chu Yunli didn't even raise her head: "Are you here to repent, Mrs. Chen? She is not angry at the injustice she suffered in the Yuan family, but she treats the daughter of the Yuan family as an adopted daughter and makes her suffer the same sins you suffered back then, or even worse...
"
Mrs. Chen's eyebrows were beating fast. She had only vaguely revealed these little thoughts of hers to Mr. Yao. At this time, she felt no luck at all. The woman in front of her had indeed learned everything from Mr. Yao.
"what do you want?"
Hearing this, Chu Yunli was overjoyed. Although the current law was strict, it had been many years and it was difficult to obtain evidence.
She asked with great interest: "I only want the share that the Yuan family left to my daughter!"
Mrs. Chen's eyes darkened.
She was mentally prepared before she came, knowing that this time she had to cut off a large piece of flesh, otherwise she might not be able to do anything good. But when she actually learned that she had to take out the portion that belonged to Chen Wanhua, she felt extremely heartbroken, and then she thought
, the woman in front of her may not know how much the Yuan family gave her.
So, she looked confident: "Before her mother left, she promised that as long as I raised Wanhua, she would give me 70% of the family wealth!"
Chu Yunli put down the tea cup, which fell on the table with a bang: "Do you think I'm a fool? If you inquired about how rich the Yuan family was in the city, you would know that it takes 70% of the family wealth to raise a daughter? Wanhua has spent a lot of time in Chen in recent years.
We haven’t even spent 10% of our family, let alone 70%. Besides, Wanhua’s mother is not a kind person, so why would she give you so much wealth?”
When Mrs. Chen heard the "bang", her heart trembled. Looking at the cold eyebrows of the woman in front of her, she suddenly felt as if she was being interrogated in court.
"If you are not honest, there is no need for us to talk."
After saying that, he picked up the tea cup.
Seeing her serving tea to see off the guests, Mrs. Chen became anxious. She was afraid that the officers and soldiers from the Yamen would come to her door as soon as she left the Yamen. She immediately said: "Half! Half!"
Chu Yunli turned a deaf ear, sneered, and shouted: "Send off the guests!"
Mrs. Chen was really anxious and blurted out: "She gets 70%, I get 30%. My sister-in-law said it herself back then, I dare to swear to God!"
Looking at her flustered face, Chu Yunli understood that this must be the truth. He put down his tea cup, signaled the waiter at the door who had opened the door to close the door again, and said: "That's more like it. If you had been so honest earlier, how much trouble would you have saved?"
Mrs. Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and as soon as she let go, she realized that her whole body was covered in cold sweat, and her underwear was wet and sticky, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
At this moment, I have to admit that the woman in front of me is very good at attacking people's hearts. She speaks in an unhurried and slow tone, but every word hits her heart. It makes people's hearts tremble.
Chu Yunli raised her hand and poured a cup of tea: "Sit down and talk."
Mrs. Chen was a little thirsty, so she picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Before she could swallow the sip of water, she saw the woman in front of her laying out pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Chu Yunli handed the pen and ink to her: "Mrs. Chen grew up in the Yuan family and has been in charge of such a big business for many years. She must be literate and write it down by herself. With the deed, you can feel at ease and so can I. I said
,you write!"
Mrs. Chen felt that there was nothing wrong with her words, so she wrote: Today, 70% of the family property that was entrusted by the Yuan family back then will be returned to Chen Wanhua, the orphan of the Yuan family, and the remaining 30% will be used as a thank-you gift for the caregiver. It has been collected!
After writing one piece, Chu Yunli pulled the piece of paper over and said, "Write another one. Let's take one copy each."
Mrs. Chen wrote another piece. As soon as she started writing, the paper she had written on was taken away.
Chu Yunli dried the ink on it and said: "Whenever you send me the land deed and the profits over the years, I will give you a deed. When I receive the things, we will be clear about everything!"
Mrs. Chen felt slightly relaxed and asked again: "Where's Wanhua?"
Chu Yunli sneered in her heart, but said calmly: "This is hers originally, you give it and she takes it, that's fine."
Mrs. Chen walked downstairs with ease. Although she tried her best to restrain herself, she could still tell that there was something different about her whole person. When she went up, she was gloomy and irritable. When she came down, although her face was tangled, her whole body was relaxed, as if something had been lifted off her head.
of dark clouds.
After returning to the house, Mrs. Chen painfully took out the box hidden in the dark and looked at the thick yellowed deeds inside, feeling heartbroken.
She thought of something and suddenly laughed.
Just say 70%, who knows how much 70% of the Yuan family's wealth is?
Don't let her have the final say!
Chu Yunli, who got the deed, also smiled. This was the ironclad proof that Mrs. Chen was willing to give it.
