Zhe Furong: After widowhood and rebirth, she was pampered by treacherous ministers
Chapter 32 Returning the Dowry
Besides, no matter what she said, Jiang Yue was still the daughter-in-law of her Xiao family, so didn't her Jiang Yue's belong to her son?Even if he temporarily gave her the dowry to open a restaurant, wouldn't the money he earned still have to subsidize their Xiao family?
Now that Li Ran is not at home, Jiang Yue is the mistress of the Xiao family, and it is her duty to take care of the Xiao family. Forgive her for not having the guts to go to the Xiao family and ignore it.
In this way, if I don't spend a penny, the Xiao family will be able to add a piece of the family business for nothing. Isn't this the best of both worlds?
The old lady rolled her eyes and made up her mind to pay attention.
"My dear daughter-in-law, I'm still a woman after all. Although the property of the Xiao family is in my hands, I still need the consent of the men in the clan to use it. Don't you see that this is too much delay?" ?”
Glancing at the corner of Jiang Yue's mouth, the old woman's words were sweet, she obviously couldn't bear to give up the money, but now she kept thinking about her.
Really ironic!
"Then what should I do?" Jiang Yue squeezed out two drops of water from her eyes, and she looked like a pitiful lotus crying, "I have taken a good look at the location of this restaurant, and it is the best location in the capital. If it is opened, the silver will come in like water."
As soon as she heard about the money, the old lady's eyes widened immediately: "Hey, good daughter-in-law, don't worry, don't you still have your dowry?"
The old lady eagerly took Jiang Yue's hand: "Although you are now Xiao's wife, and you still have to use your own dowry to open a restaurant, it's not nice to say it, but since you have the heart to do business , Mother is also willing to bear this notoriety."
The dowry has always been used by the natal family to guarantee the security of the married woman, and it cannot be tampered with unless it is absolutely necessary.If any married woman uses the dowry at will, her husband's family will be laughed at.
Ordinary people are very concerned about reputation, let alone officials like the Xiao family.Now this old lady has gone so far in order to keep her little family business.
But yes, after all, in order to occupy her dowry before, she did a lot of things like this.
Although she took back part of the dowry, she did not return all the dowry to herself.
The wrinkled palms of the opponent's hands made Jiang Yue feel disgusted, but she had to put on a grateful expression on her face.
"Mother sacrificed so far for the Xiao family, Jiang Yue really admires her." Jiang Yue took the opportunity to pull out her hand and offered her a cup of tea in a hypocritical way.
"Mother, don't worry, the restaurant will open when the time comes. If anyone dares to gossip about you, my daughter-in-law will definitely seek justice for you!"
The old lady was delighted by Jiang Yue's words: "Okay, then you go home with your mother to get the dowry."
As she said that, the old lady was about to pull her out, but Jiang Yue avoided her without a trace.
"What do you mean?" The old lady's face drooped and she stared straight at Jiang Yue.
"Mother, didn't I tell you just now that I haven't negotiated with His Royal Highness about opening a restaurant. It's not just our Xiao family who are eyeing this piece of fat. If I leave the Duke's mansion now, I won't be able to protect my eldest son." If you give this fat to others as soon as you get angry, wouldn't our efforts be wasted?"
"That's the truth, that's the truth." The old lady immediately relaxed her brows when she heard this, "Then you can stay in the Duke's mansion for two more days, and I'll go home and withdraw money for you."
The old lady gave Jiang Yue another wink as she spoke, approached her and said in a low voice: "Later, you can have a good talk with the prince, the Xiao family must take this restaurant down!"
There was a bit of ambiguity in the old voice, and calculating shrewdness in the cloudy eyes.
Jiang Yue felt nauseous when she heard the words. Back then, she sent herself to Gu Mo's bed for the Xiao family, but now she wanted to do the same trick again for the restaurant.
"My daughter-in-law obeys." Jiang Yue endured her nausea and complied.
Sure enough, when the old lady understood what she meant, that old face immediately smiled into a chrysanthemum again.
"Okay, then I'll go home and get your dowry."
Xiao's mother acted very quickly. She left the Duke's mansion for more than an hour, and immediately had her dowry brought over.
Ye Zi looked at the red boxes and cages all over the yard, and couldn't believe it.
"Ma'am, the Xiao family really sent it over, and it was so fast!"
"Hmph, she just wants to use my dowry to earn more money to fill her Xiao family." Jiang Yue stroked the red paint on the cage with her hands, feeling bitterness in her heart.When the Jiang family was in decline, he married the Xiao family in a hurry.
All these boxes and cages were painted hastily, but even so, the father and the others still gave themselves enough face.Fearing that the Xiao family would bully him, he added a lot of valuable things to him.
But in my previous life, I completely filled them in the holes of Xiao's family, which is simply extremely stupid.
This time, the Xiao family would never try to get half a penny from him!
"Yezi, check the dowry list carefully, and don't let it go!" Jiang Yue's eyes were cold, without any warmth.
"Yes"
When Jiang Yue returned to the room, there was a plate of hibiscus cake that Gu Mo had just sent on the table.The soft, glutinous and sweet pastries arouse the surge of sweetness in the mouth, finally suppressing the bitterness in the heart.
But that's not enough. She mentioned to Xiao's mother that she wanted to open a restaurant before, but it was just a strategy to get back her dowry.But thinking about it now, she still has to open this restaurant.
She is still the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family in name, and if the dowry is kept in her own hands, what kind of monsters will Xiao's mother do when the dowry is not kept, or it is more appropriate to switch to a business.
And her relationship with Gu Mo.
Gu Mo's tender eyes on the bed suddenly flashed in her mind, and Jiang Yue's heart trembled. For a moment, a trace of anticipation that shouldn't have arisen quietly, but it was only a moment, Jiang Yue was very happy. Soon he regained his composure.
The slender jade hands were tightly clenched into fists. Although the two had a skin-to-skin relationship, how much sincerity existed in it?I want to take advantage of him, he is greedy for the momentary pleasure, how long can such a relationship last?
After all, it is better to rely on others than to rely on oneself, and to run the restaurant well, if the two of them separate in the future, then there will be a place for themselves.
"Ma'am!" Ye Zi ran in with the list full of joy, "I've checked everything carefully, and they're all right, and there's not even a single dowry missing."
"Really?" Jiang Yue stretched her fists, her delicate lips outlined a touching arc.
"Since there are no shortage of things, let's go and buy that restaurant now!"
"Buying a restaurant, ma'am, are you serious?"
Ye Zi looked unbelievable, but Jiang Yue got up, walked past her and walked out the door, only to hear a sonorous and powerful voice coming slowly.
"Of course!"
Now that Li Ran is not at home, Jiang Yue is the mistress of the Xiao family, and it is her duty to take care of the Xiao family. Forgive her for not having the guts to go to the Xiao family and ignore it.
In this way, if I don't spend a penny, the Xiao family will be able to add a piece of the family business for nothing. Isn't this the best of both worlds?
