Seeing that Wu Xuanran didn't accuse the person who stole the dowry, but reprimanded him as the victim instead, Wu Qianqing guessed that his father must also have a share in taking his son's dowry, and felt indescribably disappointed.
He suddenly turned to Wu Bufang, and solemnly begged: "Grandfather, please be the master for my grandson, and let the person who stole the betrothal gift return my son's betrothal gift."
Wu Bufang frowned: "Of course, I will help you get back the dowry."
Heixin even moved Wu Chenzi out just now, if he didn't help Wu Qianqing get back the dowry, he would definitely make trouble with Wu Chenzi, so he couldn't afford to lose that face.
If others knew that the Wu family was so greedy that they even stole the bride price from the younger generation, the world would laugh at them.
Wu Bufang lowered his face, looked at Wu Qianjing and scolded angrily: "Even taking the junior's dowry, how shameless are you? If you want to tell the truth, who else would dare to trust our Wu family? After you go back, immediately Return Xiao Ruo's betrothal gift to Qianqing, and afterward, write a letter of repentance and come to me to accept family punishment."
Now that the evidence is conclusive, Wu Qiantong admitted that he took the dowry again. Wu Qianjing and others could not deny this, so they had to reluctantly say yes.
Wu Qiantong was a little annoyed, but he asked them to hand over the things they had already got, and felt really uncomfortable: "What if the things are already used?"
Heixin sneered and said: "Then compensate according to the price. The master's dowry to his wife is not less than one hundred thousand taels of silver, and some are even higher than five hundred thousand taels."
Wu Qiantong was furious: "You are taking advantage of the fire to rob, how can some items be worth one hundred thousand taels of silver?"
"Since you think it's not worth it, return all the dowry gifts intact."
"You..." Wu Qiantong was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Wu Fangbu saw that Wu Qiantong was still justified when he did something wrong, so he angrily said: "Go back and take out all the betrothal gifts."
"Wait." Heixin took out a water-blue jade fan from his sleeve: "This fan is also a magic weapon that the two young masters mortgaged to the shopkeeper of Gamble Square, and I return it to you."
He put the Xuanya fan on the table.
Wu Ruo was surprised: "Isn't this my mother's magic weapon?"
Wu Qiantong stared and glared, Wu Bai, a little bastard, actually mortgaged two magic weapons.
He reached out to get the magic weapon, but Wu Qianqing quickly took the magic weapon into his hand.
Wu Qianqing stared at Wu Qiantong coldly: "I lent you the magic weapon that day because I saw that you needed it, but I asked you to return it later, but I pushed back and forth, saying that I would not return it if I didn't need it anymore. , but you use the magic weapon as a draw, which is really chilling."
Wu Qiantong: "..."
Today's Wu Qianqing was extremely cold-hearted towards his brother, so he didn't want to care about his brother's affection anymore, so he turned around and said to Wu Fang, "Grandfather, didn't you ask me a while ago, where did my magic weapon go?"
Wu Qianjing and their faces changed slightly.
Wu Fangbu looked at Wu Qiantong and the others: "Well, yes, what's wrong?"
"Now I can tell my grandfather that my elder brother and some of my wife's magical artifacts have been borrowed by the eldest brother and they promised to return them within seven days, but more than three months have passed, and they still haven't returned them." The meaning of returning the magic weapon, I used to ask them for it in private, but they refused. Now, while everyone is here, I want to ask my eldest brother, second brother, fourth brother, and fifth brother to get back the magic weapon in front of my grandfather, so that I can let everyone I have a few magic tools for the children to defend themselves."
He knew that it was because he was too talkative in the past that he made his elder brother and the others feel confident, delaying the time to return the magic weapon over and over again.
Wu Ruo curled her lips slightly, it was he who asked Heixin to take out the Xuanya Fan after the dowry matter was settled, because he knew that with his father's temperament, he would not let others bully him forever.
Wu Bufang looked at Wu Qianjing and the others: "Is that true?"
Just as Wu Qiantong and the others were about to refute the denial, Heixin took the lead and said: "Before coming to Gaoling City, Wu Guoshi had always praised us that the clansmen of the Wu clan leader have both ability and political integrity, but now it has opened the eyes of the old slave. The people not only stole other people's dowry, but also borrowed the magic weapon and refused to return it. If Master Wu knew about this, would you think you were slapping him in the face?"
The faces of Wu Qiantong and the others turned from blue to black. If they could, they would definitely rush to kill Heixin.
Wu Bufang wanted to save face the most, and upon hearing what Heixin said, he quickly and severely ordered Wu Qiantong and the others to return the magic weapon to Wu Qianqing.
Wu Qiantong said angrily: "It's okay if we want to return the magic weapon. First, return the materials we gave you earlier. Anyway, you already have the magic weapon for self-defense, so there is no need to use the materials to make the magic weapon."
How dare you threaten him. Wu Qianqing said coldly: "The magic weapon you lent us is mine, and it was agreed to return it within seven days. It has been more than three months, so you should keep your promise and return it to me, and the materials you lent us are also agreed Yes, when my son comes back from training, he will return you if he finds the same materials, not to mention that you have used all the materials you gave me, how can I return them to you?"
When he mentioned the word 'same', he especially emphasized his tone.
"you… "
Wu Qianbin stopped Wu Qiantong from continuing: "Third brother, we are at fault, we will return the materials and magic tools to you."
Dong Mingji asked: "Butler Black, you said you arrested Xiaoshi and Xiaobai earlier, where are they now?"
Heixin smiled slightly: "The two young masters will be released later."
Dong Mingji snorted coldly, and left Bu Jin Yuan with her husband.
Wu Qiantong immediately asked, "Fourth Brother, why don't you let me finish my sentence?"
Wu Qianbin's face darkened: "Didn't you see that grandfather's face is ugly? If you continue to talk, you will be dragged out and beaten a hundred times."
Wu Qian was childish: "Are you really going to return the magical artifact?"
Isn't their material borrowed for nothing
Wu Qianbin squinted his eyes: "What are you in a hurry for? Grandpa asked us to return the materials and the magical artifacts, but he didn't say that we would take out all the materials and return them to Wu Qianqing soon."
"Fourth brother, what do you mean..."
Wu Qianjing's eyes flashed coldly: "Your fourth brother means that we can drag it slowly, saying that the materials will not be found for a while, and in the future, we will return them every other year or half a year. Hmph, so For one thing, even after ten years, there are not many materials that can be retrieved."
Wu Xuanran glanced at Wu Qiantong indifferently: "Your elder brother is right, Qiantong, I'm not talking about you for my father, can you not be so impulsive in doing things in the future, can you use your brain more?"
Wu Qiantong also knew that he was impulsive and irritable, and he wanted to change it, but he was born like this and couldn't change it.
Wu Qianli asked, "But if we do this, will grandfather blame us?"
Wu Qianjing sneered: "Don't forget, my grandfather also accepted those betrothal gifts, so as long as we don't overdo it, the matter won't reach Master Wu, and there is a betrothal gift for Wu Qianqing , he will turn his eyes and close his eyes again like before."
Wu Bufang cares about face so much, he will not let Wu Qianqing and the others spread the matter, and will definitely try to seal the mouths of Wu Qianqing's family and the Hei family.
Wu Qiantong breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
Wu Qianbin rolled his eyes. This person often fails to achieve success and fails. If this person was not his own brother, he would have long since refused to answer him: "Go back, first take out the cheapest materials and magical artifacts and send them back. .”
Soon after they left, Wu Ruo and the others also came out of the hall.
Wu Fangbu suddenly shouted: "Qianqing, you stay here, I have something to tell you."
Wu Qianqing stopped: "Yes."
Wu Ruo hooked her lips mockingly, because he knew Wu Bufang well, and keeping his father here was nothing more than trying to persuade his father not to spread the matter, for fear that it would ruin the Wu family's reputation, but unfortunately...
Thinking of this, he smiled meaningfully.
At this moment, a servant hurried past them and came to the entrance of the hall: "Patriarch."
Wu Bu Fang, who was about to comfort Wu Qianqing, asked in a very bad tone: "What's the matter?"
The servant walked up to Wu Bufang and whispered in a low voice: "Nowadays, people in the entire Gaoling City are spreading rumors that our Wu family stole the betrothal gift from the third master's son in the Southern Courtyard."
"What?" Ubu Fang narrowed his eyes suddenly: "What's going on? Who told it?"
He just wanted to persuade Wu Qianjing to forgive them once they were the first offenders in Wuqian, and to ask Wu Qianqing not to spread the matter, but now everyone in Gaoling City knows about it.
"It was reported from Gaming Le Fang. It is said that the incident was quite big at that time, and many people saw it."
Wu Bufang looked at Wu Qianqing who was waiting at the side: "Qianqing, you go back first."
The matter has already spread, and it is useless to stay in Wuqianqing. The most urgent thing is to suppress this matter.
"Yes."
Wu Qianqing walked out of the Bujin Courtyard, saw Wu Ruo and the others waiting for him, and sighed before leaving: "I really didn't expect my elder brother and the others to do such a thing."
Guan Tong comforted: "Qing, don't be sad."
Wu Qianqing smiled, and then suppressed her smile: "Based on what we know about my grandfather and my father, I'm afraid it won't be so easy for them to hand over the dowry."
Since his elder brother and third younger brother swallowed the gift, they must try their best to delay returning it slowly, and his grandfather would not allow him to spread the matter.
Wu Ruo said: "Father, there will always be a way to solve the problem, so don't worry about it. By the way, how is your health now?"
Mentioning her physical condition, Wu Qianqing showed a smile: "The spirit field is recovering well, and it is already able to gather spirits slowly. I also added spirit-gathering grass to the bath medicine according to what you said, and put it on a daily basis. Take a Condensing Spirit Pill, two-pronged approach, the effect is very good, no accidents, after forty-nine days, you will be able to fully recover, but if you want to restore your original cultivation, I am afraid you will have to wait for a while."
"That's good."
When they left the area of the middle courtyard and were about to walk towards the south courtyard, a haughty young nobleman walked up to him, with a handsome face, a purple black jade crown on his head, and a precious sable cloak. Wearing exquisitely embroidered boots, with hundreds of guards behind him, he looked unattainable.
Young Master Gui squinted at Wu Ruo, was stunned, and said with a sneer, "It's really fat."
After finishing speaking, he led the people and followed the servants of the Wu family, walked past Wu You and the others, and walked towards the Bujin Courtyard.
Wu Qianqing said in a low voice, "That's Wu Yanlan, the great-grandson of Wu Guoshi."
Wu Ruo's eyes flickered, God helped him.
Originally, they thought that they might have to wait for a while before forcing Wu Qianjing and the others to hand over all the betrothal gifts, but now it seems that today they can obediently send back all the betrothal gifts.
Wu Ruo whispered in Shi Yuan's ear.
Shi Yuan nodded, and rushed to the middle courtyard with Shi Yuan.
