I don't want to be wronged again

Chapter 176, Chapter 217

Laiwang's daughter-in-law sneered unceremoniously and said: "Your Gu family is a dog. What, you can only enter but not exit! How did you carry our eldest lady's dowry in, and now you have to carry it back for us I know that your family is used to using imperial decrees to suppress people, so our mother specially invited this imperial decree, Mrs. Gu, you are the imperial lady, you know that the imperial decree cannot be disobeyed, right?"

The words made Shi's face turn blue and red, and his face was colorful. He gritted his teeth and said, "You two slaves, how can you be worthy of talking to me like this? Sun Zhanyi came into our house as a concubine. The identity was brought in! How come there is a dowry! Now our family swallowed a sigh of relief and sent her out according to the pomp and circumstance of a regular wife. It was also because of the love between your master and my master when they were classmates. How could you come to ask for anything? dowry!"

Laiwang sneered and said: "I really don't know Mrs. Gu, you still have the face to mention the past! Your master and our master are classmates? Your master has eaten and lived in our house since he was a child! Our master is in charge of him." You grew up! Gu Shilang lost his father since he was a child, and his mother was sick. Our master treats his own brothers like this, and when Master Gu married you, the dowry was all from my family! You have made a fortune , you can change your wife into a concubine, and bring our eldest lady back as a concubine! How can you say it out loud! Don't mention any past friendship, you are not disgusting, we servants are disgusting! Do you think Now is the time for your upper lip to touch your lower lip—whatever you say! If you want to speak out of conscience, you have to think about your husband and son! If you don’t hand over your dowry, someone from Dali Temple will seal the door and search it. At most, add a few more crimes to your master, and we won't bother."

After all, he dragged his wife away: "Let's go! Go to Dali Temple! Sue Gu Guangyi for embezzling Mo's daughter-in-law's dowry! Don't admit it? If you don't admit it, give him a few more courts!"

Shi Shi was terrified when he heard that, although the dowry is important, the life of her husband and son is more important. Although it hurts to spit out Sun Zhanyi's dowry, she can't watch her husband suffer in prison.

Shi had no choice but to swallow his anger and plead with Laiwang: "Most of the dowry I have spent so many years has been spent. Where do you want me, a woman, to collect it? You go back and discuss with your master and wife. Can you give me some time? When our master comes out, I will give you the rest? You and your Sun family will not be short of the money. We have been together for these years, well, if you don’t mention it, don’t mention it. Just say now, how can your master and wife be like this? Drive me, this lonely old woman, to death!"

Laiwang's daughter-in-law impatiently said to Laiwang: "I tell you this is a mess, she still thinks it's buying vegetables and radishes, can she still bargain? Why don't you just go directly to the Yamen of Dali Temple and have someone ransack your house! It’s not neat and tidy! You’ve wasted half a day here to drool, and people still don’t get anything out of it!”

Laiwang sneered and said: "She doesn't know yet, our master and wife have retired and returned to Yangzhou long ago! Now the affairs of our Sun family are all decided by the empress in the palace! You still treat our mother as good as the eldest lady You are easy to bully? Then you have made the wrong idea! Our mother has an order: before sunset today, you must take back every piece of Miss Zhanyi’s dowry. If there is one piece missing, you will cut off a part of your master’s body pay!"

When Shi Shi heard this, she fainted immediately, and Laiwang didn't rush her, just sipping tea with her legs crossed, looking like she really was waiting for the sun to set.

At this time, Gu Baoying came back.After Gu Guangyi entered Dali Temple, she searched everywhere for information. Naturally, the first thing she thought of was Li Yuting.It's just that she went to Li's house countless times, but failed to see Li Yuting once, which made her almost gray hair from anxiety.This time, she still couldn't find Li Yuting as usual, even though she was a fool, she also noticed Li Yuting's avoidance of her.She was sad and angry at the same time, so Shi Zi'er said a word to Li's disciples: If you don't see him again tomorrow, please invite him to speak in front of the emperor!She really didn't want to tear herself apart with him, but Li Yuting's actions were too heartbreaking, and she was forced to do nothing, and if it was impossible, everyone broke up and broke up!
Gu Baoying had just returned home full of depression when he saw the scene where Laiwang and his wife asked for the dowry.Internal troubles and external troubles came at him all at once, Gu Baoying felt that he could not hold on anymore, but his father was still in prison, his brother was far away, and the opponent was now in a good time, but his mother was still so entangled, Gu Baoying had no choice but to Forcing the spirit to step forward.

She took a deep breath and said to Laiwang and his wife: "Since it is the queen's will, our Gu family will make up for the dowry even if we die, but it has been a long time, and most of the things are scattered. Your noble steward raises your hand high."

Seeing that it was Gu Baoying, Laiwang nodded because she was the wife of Mingyi bestowed by the emperor, so he nodded reservedly and said: "Since Mrs. Mingyi is the guarantor, I will boldly promise you once." .Give me another two days, and please be sure to take out everything belonging to my eldest lady. If it expires again, don't complain. Farewell!"

Laiwang and his wife threw down a word and walked away.Shi complained to her daughter: "How can you promise them to hand over the dowry?! Most of those things were given to you and your brother, where can I get them now? Where do you want me to collect these old things?!"

Gu Baoying said powerlessly: "Mother, why are you still so unclear, who is that Sun Qingdai now? She is the current empress! The emperor obeys her and favors the harem! If she wants to embarrass our family, I'm afraid it's because my father doesn't like her." What's more, my father is still in the prison, and it's not a matter of her life or death! What is mere floating wealth? When my father comes out, how can I get less gold and silver? My dowry is used to make up for it Well, let Hu Shanhui hand over the part for my brother! The part that is still missing, isn’t there still her dowry! Something happened to her father, do you think she has helped the Hu family a little? At this time, she is still the daughter-in-law of the Gu family Shouldn't you express your affection? Mother, you took this opportunity to hold her in your hand!"

When Shi heard that she didn't need to pay a penny, he was so relieved that he couldn't help thinking about Hu Shanhui's dowry.She also saw this woman's dowry at the beginning. Although it was not half as rich as Sun Zhanyi's, it was still considered a red makeup.
