Chapter 17

But since it is hanging, why does the old lady insist on doing this?
Was wondering.

Su Clan finally recovered from the shock, his face was already ashen, "Mother, you don't know the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt, and the salary of the prime minister is meager, and the shop under his name has suffered consecutive losses in recent years, so it is really tight... ..."

"I don't care about that."

The old lady, Luo Shi, didn't show any sympathy, she sneered and said with a flick of her sleeves: "The old lady only knows that when the responsibility of managing the family was handed over to you, it was not so tight. Are you admitting that you are incompetent? Yulan , you want a bowl of water to be flat, the second girl Ziyan's Lanzhi Courtyard is not to mention ingeniously arranged, it is also unique and unusual, but you let the eldest daughter of the original spouse live in the old courtyard. Are you a stepmother like this? You can afford to lose face, but my Xiangfu can't afford to lose it."

Luo Shi's words can be said to be heartbreaking every word, and every sentence pokes at Su Shi's heart.

The angry Su Clan almost trembled all over, he couldn't hold back the anger in his chest, he didn't think about what he said, and blurted out: "Ziyan's yard, it was subsidized by my daughter-in-law with her own dowry..."

But as soon as the words came out, Su's face completely changed, turning pale.

The old lady sat up straight slowly, but her cloudy old eyes were unusually cold, "Yes, you have a dowry, and your original spouse, Yun's, also has a dowry, so let's use Yun's dowry to help make it up for a long time."

This statement is extremely light.

But like a hammer, it hit Su's heart heavily.

Murong Jiujiu was also shocked. She was originally married to Yun's dowry. Yes, she had a vague impression of her mother's clan when she first traveled through time. She only knew that she had fallen. He has a high family status.

The dowry must be rich.

What about dowry?

She lived so bitterly in such a remote place in the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion for so many years, why hasn't she even seen a big son?After making trouble for a long time, this Su family actually took advantage of her.

"Granddaughter thanks grandma for her love."

Murong Jiujiu immediately got up and saluted the old lady, he was absolutely sincere, if it was said that she deliberately came here to stab the stabbing, it was just a small matter, then the old lady's action was definitely real.

Because there happened to be a message in her mind: According to the laws of Dongyue Kingdom, when a woman gets married, the dowry is the woman's private property, and it is her husband's family's subsidy. Passing on to the first-line children is also to act according to the law.

That is to say, Yun's dowry neither subsidized her husband's family nor brought into the coffin, so it was intended to be passed on to her, a daughter of the first line.

But it was obvious that the Su family had long been ambitious and wanted to embezzle this sum, which should have belonged to her.

In other words, over the years, she has taken Yun's dowry as her own for granted, which is really shameless.

"Mom, what's wrong with you, mother?"

"lady……"

"My God, Madam fainted."

After a few shouts, Murong Jiujiu turned around and saw Su Shi rolled his eyes and passed out.

"Grandmother, mother didn't sleep last night, and she was emotionally excited today, so she couldn't bear it and passed out. I beg your grandmother to be kind, let mother go to see the doctor first," Murong Ziyan knelt down and pleaded with tears in her eyes.

The old lady didn't seem to expect that at the critical moment, this woman Su would actually use such a dirty trick to faint.

I had no choice but to put on a cold face, waved my hands and said: "What are you crying about? Go ahead, as if my old lady deliberately made things difficult for her today."

With the permission of the old lady.

Several women hurried forward, carried Su Shi and left Shou'an Hall.

Aunt Mei, who hadn't said a word as she watched them leave, said with a half-smile, "Madam has always taken good care of herself and is in good health. Why did she faint after a night without sleep?"

It's too high time to be dizzy.

Now that the good show was over, everyone got up and left one after another.

"Flower girl."

The old lady said coldly, only then did she notice that there was still such a person kneeling in the corner, and at the moment she was called by name, she immediately crawled over tremblingly, her face ashen ashes frightened.

"Slave, the slave is here."

"Since the mistress has fainted, then your life will be put on hold first, and first go to Haosheng to arrange the eldest lady's admission to the Jiangzi Courtyard. If it is done, my Prime Minister's Mansion is not an unreasonable place."

The old lady said coldly.

Hua Pozi immediately heard the implication, and she dared not play any tricks.

Out of Shou'an Hall.

Murong Jiujiu finally vomited out the accumulated depression in his stomach.

After everyone dispersed, she turned around with a smile on her face, took out a purse stuffed with silver chestnuts from her bosom, and stuffed it into Nanny Gui's bosom.

Nanny Gui looked at it, and immediately put it in her sleeve tacitly.

"Thank you for helping me today," Murong Jiujiu said with a smile.

"It's the eldest lady's own ability. If you don't have such means, even if the servants want to do their best for you, they won't be able to do so," Nanny Gui also said with a smile.

Nanny Gui has been the old lady's dowry maid since she was a child, she was carrying tea and passing water, how could she be careless, the trip just now was a negotiation, otherwise today's affairs would not be so smooth.

"Okay, then don't bother Mama, we will move to Jiangzi Courtyard soon, and our master and servant will be busy," Murong said with a smile for a long time.

Nanny Gui immediately lowered her body and slapped a thousand, "The servant girl will congratulate the eldest lady first. If there is not enough manpower for a while, come to Shou'an Hall to send people at any time, the old lady has ordered."

"Then thank grandma for me."

After speaking, the two separated.

Watching Murong Jiujiu leave, Nanny Gui turned around and opened the curtain, and entered the room, and smiled at the old lady, Luo Shi, who had calmed down in the room: "Miss is really clever, it's not in vain that your old man praised her today back."

heard.

The old lady didn't speak, she still sat like that.

After a long time, he said: "Is there a letter from Lingcheng recently?"

Nanny Gui shook her head, "Not yet, but counting the days, it's only been two days."

"Miss, why are you smiling so happily?"

Ning'er has been guarding outside the Shou'an hall, and when she saw the eldest lady come out, she said a few words to Nanny Gui at the door, and she smiled so happily.

"Of course I'm happy. Just now, my grandmother kindly said that the small courtyard we live in is too short, so let us move to the purple courtyard. How about it? Are you happy?"

Murong stared at Ning'er with a long smile.

Ning'er's expression froze, and she didn't react for a while.

After a long time, he grew his mouth and exclaimed: "Really, Jiangzi Courtyard, that is the backyard of our Prime Minister's Mansion. Except for the main courtyard, it is the only best courtyard. agreed?"

In the end, Ning'er cautiously asked in a low voice. After all, the Xiangfu has always been decided by his wife.

Murong Jiujiu gave a disdainful smile, "She has fainted and passed out, she can still take care of our business."

Remembering that Madam was dragged out by Nanny just now, Ning'er couldn't help being suspicious, and asked: "Miss, just now Madam, what happened?"
