Dressed as a mother-in-law, she leads the whole family to turn over.

Chapter 438 No choice
Cui Yudie immediately put all the blame on the servants, "I gave the order long ago. If the servants didn't do their job well, what does it have to do with me?"

Cheng Dongjiang laughed angrily, "Okay! Then sell all the servants in the mansion. There's no need to keep such useless servants anyway!"

He knew very well that those servants were chosen by Cui Yudie and stayed because they pleased her. If the fault was really with the servants, Cui Yudie would have dealt with them first without him saying anything. But now they were just making a fuss and did not even mention beating, killing or selling them. It was obvious that she was guilty.

"You!" Cui Yudie pointed at Cheng Dongjiang angrily, "Alright! Then sell them all! Anyway, it's already like this, it doesn't matter if there's no one to entertain guests tomorrow."

Isn't it just a competition of who can hold their temper? She doesn't believe Cheng Dongjiang can hold it!

As expected, Cheng Dongjiang was furious and fixed his eyes on Cui Yudie with resentment. Neither the husband nor the wife would give in to the other.

After a long time, Cheng Dongjiang slowly closed his eyes and personally called the housekeeper over to find out what happened.

Cui Yudie smiled complacently, as if mocking the Cheng family for overestimating their own capabilities.

The housekeeper was trembling with fear, but he did explain the situation clearly. However, he was also afraid of unnecessary complications, so he did not mention the fact that Cui Yudie had been socializing all day.

Cheng Dongjiang pondered and said, "You mean the money Madam gave is not enough?"

"Yes." The butler glanced at Cui Yudie secretly, then quickly lowered his eyes.

Cheng Dongjiang sneered, "It's really interesting. The things that Madam moved from various courtyards in the mansion were worth four or five hundred taels after pawning. Adding the silver that the mansion has saved, how can you not even get five hundred taels together?"

As he said that, he rushed out before Cui Yudie could react. When Cui Yudie reacted, she saw Cheng Dongjiang appear carrying a locked box.

Madam Cheng hasn't reacted yet.

Cui Yudie went crazy first, and rushed forward like a madman to snatch the box, "Cheng Dongjiang! Everything in there is my personal property, you are not allowed to touch it! If you dare to take it away from me, I will go to the government to sue you tomorrow!"

Cheng Dongjiang grinned and said, "Okay! Go ahead and sue us, and we'll all die together! No one will have an easy life!"

With a "bang", Cheng Dongjiang lifted the box high up and smashed it hard against the corner of the stone steps, and all the gold, silver and jewelry scattered all over the ground.

Madam Cheng was shocked when she saw all those things. "Cui! You have so many things, yet you are crying poor to an old woman like me, saying that you have no money!"

Any gold hairpin there could be worth more than ten or even dozens of taels if pawned.

Cui Yudie rushed forward and guarded the things tightly, "These are all mine! They are all my dowry! No one is allowed to touch them!"

Cheng Dongjiang stepped forward, kicked Cui Yudie to the ground with fierce force.

This scene happened to be seen by Cheng Jiaojiao and Cheng Hong who had hurried over.

The two of them rushed over, one to protect Cui Yudie and the other to stop Cheng Dongjiang.

"Father, please let's talk nicely. Why get so angry? Even if mother is wrong in every way, she is still the mistress of the Cheng family. The princess will marry here tomorrow. If mother goes to see people with injuries, the princess will definitely be angry." Cheng Hong pleaded humbly.

Cheng Jiaojiao was protecting Cui Yudie while she was picking up things and didn't even have time to talk.

For the sake of his son, Cheng Dongjiang really calmed down a little. He walked forward, picked up the pawn tickets, looked at them carefully, and said coldly: "Those things in the mansion were pawned for 485 taels. I took 485 taels from here, and I have the pawn tickets as proof! If you want to make a fuss, go ahead, I'll accompany you to the end!" "No! That's my money, mine! You can't take it, you can't take it!" Cui Yudie staggered over, grabbing the corner of Cheng Dongjiang's clothes tightly.

"Mother, forget it! Forget it!" Cheng Jiaojiao was terrified and quickly spoke out to persuade her.

"No! You have no idea how much the mansion spends in a year. Without this money, you can't even make clothes for the four seasons!" Cui Yudie immediately grasped Cheng Jiaojiao's sore spot.

Cheng Jiaojiao fell silent immediately.

Cheng Dongjiang snorted coldly, pulled out the corner of his clothes, and ignored the selfish mother and daughter on the ground. Then he came to the housekeeper and ordered: "Give me the three hundred taels that the lady gave you."

Cui Yudie screamed, "Don't take it! Cheng Dongjiang! You've already taken nearly five hundred taels, and you still want another three hundred! I'm telling you! If you dare to take it, I'll die in front of you!"

She had just thought about it. If things didn't work out, she would just take back the three hundred taels from the housekeeper to at least recover some of the losses. She didn't expect that Cheng Dongjiang would block all the ways out she had thought of.

The housekeeper was in a dilemma.

Cheng Dongjiang sneered, "Okay! Then go and die. It just so happens that Hong'er will be in mourning tomorrow, so the princess doesn't need to get married. It's not bad to turn the wedding banquet into a funeral banquet."

"You!" Cui Yudie was so angry that her blood boiled and her eyes were bloodshot.

The housekeeper took a look and knew that the master was determined to punish the mistress today, so he could only obey like a quail and take out the three hundred taels.

If he looked up, he would find that Cui Yudie was looking at him as if she wanted to eat him.

Cheng Dongjiang received nearly eight hundred taels of silver and left without caring about the mess in his home.

The big restaurants are still open at this time, and some of the capital's busy eateries are still packed with customers.

He went to Yongtai Restaurant as quickly as possible to discuss the banquet with the owner.

The shopkeeper was very shocked. "Master Cheng, isn't your son going to marry Princess Wuya tomorrow? Why did you book the banquet only now?"

It's not like he hadn't inquired about it before. After all, a large order like this could equal the restaurant's profit for several days. But after asking around, he couldn't get any definite information. He thought the palace had other arrangements, so he stopped paying attention to it. He didn't expect that this big deal would fall into the hands of their Yongtai Restaurant, which was a bit embarrassing.

Cheng Dongjiang was a little embarrassed, but his face was calm. "It happened for a reason. It was also a helpless move. I wonder if the shopkeeper can take it. How much money does it cost?"

"This," the shopkeeper said in a difficult position, "Sir Cheng, if you had come two days earlier, I would have prepared everything for you so that you could save money and have face. But we have a banquet tomorrow, and you are telling me now that I cannot prepare so many ingredients in such a short time.

Moreover, it is difficult for the restaurant chef to prepare the dishes in a hurry. Besides, there is the cost issue, which will be more expensive.

I am telling you the truth only because you are anxious. Looking at all the restaurants in Beijing, apart from Yongtai Restaurant, the only ones that dare to take your order at this time are Baiweilou, Qianshiju and Juxianlou.

You also know Qianshiju and Juxianlou. The prices there are ridiculously high and they only receive dignitaries. If you want to go to them, you'll have to prepare at least a few thousand taels.

Baiweilou is better, but I heard that the Wuya envoys don't seem to be used to the food in Baiweilou. Tomorrow your family will have a wedding, and the Wuya envoys will definitely go there. If they eat it, it will definitely not be delicious."
