Favoring the concubine and ignoring the wife? The mistress is reborn and marries the villain in the

Chapter 30 Take out all your dowry
Gu Nianchu's voice was like poison, and the hatred in her eyes was still overwhelming even after a lifetime.

Shen Ling wanted to explain: "Madam, please listen to my explanation. Things are really not what you think. I have never lied to you. I swear!"

Gu Nianchu sneered: "Swear? Fine, then swear. If you lie to me with even one word, I will make your Shen family extinct and the Marquis' Mansion disappear into ashes!"

Gu Nianchu waited for Shen Ling to swear, and Shen Ling's face turned pale: "Gu Nianchu, how can you be so cruel!"

Is he vicious? Who is the truly vicious person?
Gu Nianchu laughed up to the sky, and tears came out of his eyes.

"Shen Ling, the fact that you don't dare to swear proves that you have been deceiving me all along. You did such a wicked thing, but you don't dare to swear and yet you say that I am vicious! There really are shameless people like you in this world."

Gu Nianchu kicked towards Shen Ling's root: "Shen Ling, I can't bear this false reputation!"

Seeing that Gu Nianchu was determined to destroy him, Shen Ling turned around and ran away. Gu Nianchu did not chase him: "Shen Ling, remember, don't show up in front of me in the future. If you dare to show up in front of me, I will destroy you one day! Let you get what you want!"

Shen Ling went to see Huang Rongli investigating a case, but saw Gu Nianping coming. With a cold and handsome face, Shen Ling went over to greet him: "Big brother is here."

Gu Nianping kicked him and said, "Shen Ling, your Shen family is really good!"

Lord Shen hurried forward to stop him: "Master Gu, this is all a misunderstanding, this is not my son's fault!"

Gu Nianping sneered: "Old Marquis Shen, some things are better not said too early! Let's wait until Mr. Huang finishes his investigation! Old Marquis, you are not naive enough to think that you can explain to the General's Mansion by putting the blame on a servant? Who do you think our General's Mansion is!"

Old Lord Shen was both ashamed and annoyed at this moment, but he didn't dare to show his displeasure to Gu Nianping. He could only smile and apologize again and again. Shen Ling's face was also very ugly at this moment. He didn't know what was wrong. He always felt that things shouldn't be like this. Everything went wrong when he was about to marry Xu.

At this time he regretted that if he had known earlier, he would have kept Xu away.

Xu knew that Gu Nianchu knew that there was no dowry, so she had been hiding in her yard and had not come out. At this time, she heard the servants report that Shen Ling was beaten by Gu Nianchu, so she thought about comforting Shen Ling.

The servant whispered in Shen Ling's ear: "Sir, Madam Xu is here. Madam Xu asks you to go to the old lady to meet her."

Shen Ling was full of resentment towards Xu Yan at this time, and said coldly: "Tell her not to make trouble at this time, I'm busy here."

I didn't go to see Xu Yan at all.

Xu Yan was very sad when she heard the servants report that the prince could not leave.

Old Madam Shen kept blaming Xu Yan, saying that if she had not been married, such a thing would not have happened in the Marquis' Mansion.

Xu Yan felt very aggrieved: "Mother, how can this be blamed on Yan'er?"

"Why don't we blame you? If you hadn't been restless and insisted on moving into the mansion, why would we have taken the risk of selling Gu's dowry to give you as a betrothal gift?"

Old Madam Shen's words left Xu Yan dumbfounded: "Mother, so, my sister's dowry was indeed sold by the Marquis' Mansion?"

Xu Yan's words made Old Madam Shen embarrassed: "What are you doing? Are you blaming me? Who am I doing this for? If it wasn't for you to enter the Marquis' Mansion with honor and have the confidence to compete with the Gu family, would we have to do this? You useless thing, now you blame me."

Xu Yan hurriedly apologized: "Mother, it's all Yan'er's fault, but what should I do now?"

Old Madam Shen sighed: "What should I do? How do I know what to do? Now you'd better control the servants in your yard and don't say a word that shouldn't be said!" "When it really doesn't work, there is only..."

Old Madam Shen paused when she said this, but Xu Yan knew what she was going to say: "Mother, do you want to sell all the rest of my dowry?"

Old Madam Shen was not embarrassed by her daughter-in-law's words. She said sternly, "Yan'er, you have entered the Marquis' Mansion now and are in charge of the household affairs. The power of the housekeeper is in your hands. If you don't come up with a solution, who will? Are you going to watch the Marquis' Mansion fall into a desperate situation?"

Xu Yan knelt down hurriedly to plead guilty: "Mother, please calm down. I know I was wrong, but most of the betrothal gifts sent by the Marquis' Mansion have been sold. Even if I sell all the remaining money, it will not fill my sister's hole."

Old Madam Shen snorted coldly, "Gu is also the daughter-in-law of the Marquis' Mansion. She knows the current state of the Marquis' Mansion. We can't just fill her hole when we can't make ends meet. You can have someone count all your dowry and see how much money you can collect. First appease Gu and then make a long-term plan later."

"Remember, this is all your dowry, not just the betrothal gift that the Marquis' Mansion sent at the beginning."

Mrs. Shen's last words made Xu Yan's head buzz: "Mother, how are Shaobai and I going to live in the future?"

Old Madam Shen was a little impatient: "How can you live? Can the Marquis' Mansion still do without the food, clothing and expenses of you and your son? Yan'er, you have to know the big picture. Now you are in charge of the household expenses of the Marquis' Mansion. You still say such things. You really disappoint your mother."

Xu Yan really wanted to say that there was nothing in the household chores and whoever wanted to take care of it could do so.

However, she didn't dare to say it.

She didn't have Gu Nianchu's confidence.

Madam Shen looked at Xu Yan like this, beckoned her to come to her side, took her hand and comforted her: "Yan'er, you know how your mother treats you, don't worry, your mother will not treat you badly in the future. Shaobai is the only heir of our mansion, and the whole mansion will belong to Shaobai from now on."

Xu Yan responded with a “yes” and said nothing more.

Seeing her look ashen, Old Lady Shen didn't want to talk to Xu Yan any more. "Okay, Yan'er, go and count the treasury to see how much silver you can get together. I'll let Nanny Li go with you."

This means that Nanny Li is supposed to monitor Xu Yan and not let her hide anything.

What else could Xu Yan do? She could only obediently count her private vault.

After leaving Fushoutang, Xu Yan couldn't help but let the tears flow down her eyes.

Zhuier, the dowry maid beside Xu Yan, supported Xu Yan and said, "Madam, how could the old lady treat you like this?"

"Zhui'er, don't say anything you shouldn't say."

Xu Yan scolded Zhuier coldly: "The old lady is right. Now I am a member of the Marquis' Mansion, and I should think about the Marquis' Mansion! If you dare to say such things again, I will kick you out of the mansion!"

Zhuier choked up and apologized: "Yes, Madam, Zhuier knows the crime, please don't drive Zhuier out of the house!"

　Happy Valentine's Day, fairies!
