The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 220 Seeking justice for the second girl

The name of the son of the Zhao family is Zhao Ying, and his mother-in-law is Li.

The mother and son, together with the matchmaker Mrs. Wang, waited in the Xiyuan meeting hall until they were thankful, and finally saw someone coming from the palace, and they stood up unanimously.

Xu Wanning stepped into the room first. She was wearing a sable velvet shawl with a bright red Shu brocade skirt inside, and a purple gold phoenix hairpin on her head. The pearls on her temples were shining brightly, and she was full of grace and wealth.

Jing Shu followed into the room. She was wearing a red vermilion phoenix cloak embroidered with royal blue gold silk, and a big multicolored jade hairpin. The mistress's demeanor is so steady that people don't dare to make mistakes easily when they see her.

Xu Wanning walked past Zhao's mother and son, squinted at them, and let out a contemptuous hum from her nostrils.

Jing Shu, on the other hand, walked into the room with calm steps, without looking sideways, and sat down on the main seat without even looking at Zhao's mother and son.Her face was calm, making it impossible to guess her emotions, but that majestic aura was even more shocking.

Xu Wanning asked first, "Young Master has repeatedly made things difficult for our girl, why?"

Without waiting for Zhao Ying to answer, Wang slammed his face and grabbed the thunderbolt and said: "What did Madam say? Why did our family make things difficult for your girl?"

"Hmph! Since your aunt married into our family, she can't serve her aunt, and she can't bear children. It's unvirtuous and unfavorable. After all, it's us Erlang who have been wronged."

Xu Wanning scolded coldly: "Why isn't our girl filial to her parents-in-law? You are talking nonsense. She gave birth to two daughters for your Zhao family within five years after entering the house. Why can't she have children?"

Mrs. Wang replied: "I can't tell you why it is not filial, but she has not been able to give birth to a boy for my Zhao family, so she committed a 'seven out'."

Xu Wanning said coldly: "You really want to add a crime, our girl is only in her early twenties, how do you know she won't be able to bear a boy for your family in the future."

Wang said nonsense: "The fortune-teller has already said that your aunt committed the 'nine daughters' fate. She has to give birth to nine girls in a row. If she can afford it, my Zhao family can't wait."

Seeing that Mrs. Wang was being unreasonable, Xu Wanning stood up angrily, pointed at her nose and scolded: "You are also an official wife after all, it's really outrageous to use such absurd words to talk to my Zhenguo government. Here."

After listening to Wang's few words, Jing Shu could see that she was a nonchalant Xu Wanning who was about to jump when she was so angry.

He only asked Zhao Ying who was sitting silently by the side: "Master, what is your plan here? Everyone is here today, let's explain it clearly."

It was Zhao Ying's first time to see the little mistress in this mansion. Facing such a fairy-like figure, he was so shaken that he didn't dare to lift his head. The second young lady has been out of temper since she got married, rather than being disgusted with each other, it's better to say goodbye to the two as soon as possible."

Xu Wanning was about to curse again, Jing Shu held her down, and only replied a word to Zhao Ying: "Okay."

Zhao's mother and son saw that the little mistress was so happy and agreed, and they were overjoyed. Zhao's mother, Wang, put on a smile on her originally gloomy face: "Since the mistress has spoken about this matter, But it’s just a count, and I don’t want to go back on my word.”

Jingshu smiled disdainfully: "In terms of family status, I don't know how much noble mansion the town government wants. My girl was originally married, and our girl was wronged in this marriage."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang's face drooped again, and Zhao Ying's expression also became ugly.

Jing Shu glanced at the mother and son, and then said: "Since we want to reconcile and leave, then don't procrastinate. We have to notarize the dowry that our girl brought back, and bring it back without any mistakes."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao's mother and son couldn't sit still, and Wang replied embarrassingly: "Since your aunt married into our family, she should eat and eat the best, and the two little girls she gave birth to The films are all selected for offerings, after all these years, how can these accounts be settled."

Xu Wanning heard Wang's shameless words, and cursed angrily: "I really can't find such a shameless family like you even with a lantern. The two children born to our girl are the flesh and blood of your Zhao family. You still don't care about it." It’s embarrassing to count the child’s food and clothing expenses on our girl.”

After hearing Wang's remarks, Jing Shu was completely overwhelmed by her shamelessness.However, the forest is so big that there are all kinds of birds, such a shameless person can't afford to compete with her, even if he competes, he can't understand it.

Jing Shu replied calmly: "You can calculate the amount of our girl's food and clothing, and we will convert it into silver for you, but the farm, shop, and jewelry in the dowry must be taken back in full."

Jing Shu glanced at Zhao Ying: "This is not a small sum, it can't be settled by just our two families and a matchmaker sitting here, it has to be reported to the governor, and find a frugal matter to pay for it in detail The liquidation of the pen is clear."

"There are also the expenses of those two children over the years. If your Zhao family wants to keep them in our family, then the two children after Li and Li will have to be brought up by my Li family. We also have to write good paperwork. From now on, the two children This child has nothing to do with your family."

After hearing Jing Shu's words, Wang Shi was so depressed that he couldn't speak anymore, and looked at his son beside him dumbly.

More than half of the second girl's dowry was swallowed up by the Zhao family. Zhao Ying took care of his official career and usually spent a lot of money on food. Even the gifts for concubines came from the second girl's dowry.

The fat has already been eaten into the stomach, how can I spit it out.

Zhao Ying replied embarrassingly: "We wouldn't be afraid if we disturbed the government, but your Li family has a prominent family, so you can't afford to bribe the governor, or the governor is afraid of the power of the government, so it's not impossible to do unfair things. .”

After hearing Zhao Ying's lack of confidence, Jing Shu sneered and said, "As Mr. Zhao said, this is indeed possible."

She glanced at Zhao Ying: "Even if the government favors my Li family, what about your Zhao family?"

One sentence made Wang almost lose his breath, and Zhao Ying also stared blankly with anger.

Xu Wanning laughed and said, "You dare to come here to be rampant in front of the Duke's mansion, don't you just see that my Li family has had some bad luck recently? But even a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. People like you, who dare to come and add insult to injury, and don’t respect your own virtues, you are worthy of it!”

Seeing that Xu Wanning scolded Shu Tan, Jing Shu said: "I'm going to order someone to go to your mansion to check the dowry of my girl. If there is anything missing, you can make up for it within three days. If there is a slight difference, then We'll see you at the government."

Jing Shu glanced at Zhao Ying who was listless, and then said: "I also heard that the second son of Zhao brought in his concubine this spring?"

Zhao Ying lowered his head and kept silent.

Jing Shu didn't care whether he replied or not, she just said: "We don't care which lady you and our girl and your ex-post marry, but if you promote that concubine to occupy our girl's original position, my Li family will marry you." I sue you because of 'doting on concubines and destroying wives', that's why I reconciled with my girl."

Da Qi valued the distinction of respect and inferiority most. If this big hat was put on his head, Zhao Ying's official career would be over.

Hearing this, his face turned pale.
