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

Chapter 88: Stealing My Sister

Madam Lin's words did not save face for the Marquisate at all. Madam Shen was so angry that her face turned blue: "Madam Lin, Master Wang doesn't want to marry into our Marquisate, right? When did Jingdu City use silver notes to pay betrothal gifts? This shows that you don't take our Marquisate seriously!"

Madam Lin calmly picked up the teacup and took a sip. "Madam Hou, that's not the way to say it. After all, no young lady can get a man who could be her grandfather into bed in her own courtyard, right? The Grand Tutor had a great reputation all his life, but in the end he was schemed against by the young lady of the Marquis's Mansion. The Marquis's Mansion has a precedent. The Grand Tutor did this because he didn't want to make an enemy instead of a marriage."

Old Madam Shen's face was pressed to the ground by Madam Lin and she lost all her dignity.

Gu Nianchu was very kind and supported Madam Shen who was trying to pretend to faint: "Madam, the Grand Tutor is really judging others by his own standards. We are a dignified Marquis's mansion after all. How could we do such a thing when the daughter is getting married? The dowry of the daughter of the Marquis's mansion has been prepared long ago. When the third daughter gets married, these 200,000 silver notes must be given to the third daughter intact."

Old Madam Shen wanted to reach out and cover Gu Nianchu's mouth to stop her from saying such big words, but she found that she couldn't move at all. Not only could she not move, she couldn't even faint.

Gu Nianchu's personal maid helped Gu Nianchu to support her, not giving her the chance to faint.

Old Madam Shen was so angry that she vomited blood. She really vomited blood.

"Oh, the old lady is vomiting blood! Quick, find a doctor!"

While Gu Nianchu asked someone to invite a doctor to treat Old Madam Shen, he collected the silver bills on behalf of Old Madam Shen and directly had someone deliver them to Shen Jiao.

Old Madam Shen wanted to stop it, but she was powerless at this time.

"Mrs. Lin, I'm so sorry. I won't invite you to dinner. I'll thank you another day."

Gu Nianchu saw Mrs. Lin out. Mrs. Lin repeatedly said that Madam Hou's health was the most important and asked Gu Nianchu to stay.

Shen Jiao received 200,000 silver notes and had other ideas.

After Lord Shen and Shen Ling found out about this, the first thing they thought of was to get the silver note from Shen Jiao.

Shen Jiao refused to obey and directly pulled out the golden hairpin on her head and put it against her throat: "If father and brother take this banknote, I will not live!"

Shen Jiao now knows very well that the Marquis' Mansion has no money. Her good father and good brother, seeing the silver notes of 200,000 yuan, want to take it away for his use.

Gu Nianchu tried to persuade them in a panic, "My Lord, Prince, this was originally the betrothal gift that the Grand Tutor sent to the Third Miss. The Third Miss kept it for her own use. Why are you asking her to take it out now?"

"You forced the Third Miss to death. How are you going to explain to the Grand Tutor's Mansion when the time comes?"

Lord Shen and Shen Ling's faces turned pale, but they couldn't say openly that they wanted to use the silver for other purposes.

"Jiaojiao, we are doing this for your own good. If people knew that you, a little girl, were holding so many banknotes, you would be in danger. Give these banknotes to your brother for safekeeping. When you get married, I will naturally bring them to the Taifu Mansion for you."

Shen Ling persuaded Shen Jiao softly. The whip wounds on his face had already scarred, but they still looked hideous.

Shen Jiao sneered: "Brother, do you believe what you said?"

"There is not a bit of my dowry left in the storehouse now. For the sake of the dignity of the Marquis' Mansion, you are probably thinking of using this money to prepare a few loads of dowry for me, and then keep the rest of the money to fill the hole in the Marquis' Mansion. Anyway, the Marquis' Mansion has lost all its face now, so why would you care about how I, the daughter of the Marquis' Mansion, will be looked down upon after I marry into the Grand Tutor's Mansion!"

"Now I'll make it clear to you. I want to keep every penny of this two hundred thousand taels of silver with me. As for how much dowry you want to prepare for me, it's up to you. As long as you're not afraid of being laughed at by the capital, I won't be afraid even if you don't prepare anything for me!"

Shen Jiao has given it her all, and Shen Ling and Lord Shen's daughter are helpless.

The father and son retreated from Bi Yu Pavilion, both of their faces livid.

This Taifu Mansion is really not giving face to the Marquis Mansion! "Father, what should we do now?"

Shen Ling asked Lord Shen, who sighed, "What else can we do? Now the silver is in Jiao'er's hands. If we really want to take it, Jiao'er is capable of doing something stupid. Not only will our mansion become enemies with the Grand Tutor's Mansion, but we will also have to return the betrothal gifts."

Shen Ling was helpless: "Father, how can the Marquisate afford the money to prepare a dowry for Jiaojiao?"

The Marquis’s Mansion is barely able to make ends meet.

Lord Shen whispered to Shen Ling: "Jiaojiao is a girl, it's not easy for her to keep the banknotes. You let Yuzhen Yurong..."

After listening to Lord Shen's words, Shen Ling nodded in agreement.

Gu Nianchu returned to her Begonia Garden with a smile on her face.

"Miss, are you so happy?"

Nanny Tian couldn't help but ask Gu Nianchu with a smile, and Gu Nianchu smiled and said, "Of course I'm happy. I'm just waiting to see them fight each other. Just wait and see, there will be a good show in this Marquis' Mansion soon."

When Aunt Tian heard what Gu Nianchu said, she also laughed: "The eldest lady is right."

In the evening, Han Chan and his friends went out.

The next morning, Shen Ling went to pay his respects to Lord Shen and told him clearly that he had succeeded.

Lord Shen sighed and said, "Ling'er, ask Xu Yan to comfort Jiaojiao. Don't let her make a fuss about this matter. Use 50,000 yuan of this silver to buy her a dowry."

Shen Ling replied with a "yes". As soon as he returned to Lingyun Pavilion, he heard a commotion at Biyu Pavilion. There was a thief at Biyu Pavilion last night, and the 200,000 silver notes that the third young lady had just received yesterday were gone.

Shen Jiao is trying to commit suicide.

Shen Ling whispered a few words to Xu Yan. Xu Yan was shocked and followed Shen Ling to Bi Yu Pavilion.

"Jiaojiao, what are you doing?"

Shen Ling scolded Shen Jiao harshly. Shen Jiao looked desperate: "Brother, I am your sister. How can you bear to force me like this?"

"Jiaojiao, what are you talking about?"

Shen Ling said coldly: "Even when you get married, you will have to rely on me as your elder brother to support you. You haven't even gotten married yet, and you're planning to throw dirty water on your own elder brother's head?"

What else doesn't Shen Jiao understand?

"Haha, Shen Ling, my good brother, do you really think that you can just steal the money after taking the 200,000 taels of silver? The Grand Tutor is a veteran of three dynasties, do you really think he can just swallow this loss? Don't dream!"

Shen Jiao rushed towards Shen Ling and said, "Shen Ling, I tell you, if you don't let me live well, I will never let you live well either!"

The dagger in Shen Jiao's hand stabbed towards Shen Ling's abdomen fiercely. Shen Ling was shocked and reached out to pull Xu Yan beside him to block in front of him.
