After Wu Ruo and the others walked away, Wu Yanlan curiously asked the servant who brought them to Bujinyuan: "Who was the big fat man just now?"
The servant replied respectfully: "That's Wu Ruo, the youngest son of the third master of the Southern University Courtyard."
Wu Yanlan jokingly smiled: "So it's him."
As a direct member of the Wu family, it was impossible for him to know such an unknown person as Wu Ruo. But some time ago, he heard from his father that a man surnamed black who had saved his great-grandfather came to ask his little aunt to marry him, but because his great-grandfather felt that the man surnamed black was a bit evil, and his little aunt thought that the man surnamed black looked like It was too ugly, so he pushed the marriage to a collateral family. Later, it was said that because the man surnamed Hei liked men, the patriarch of the collateral branch of the Wu family pointed out a junior in the clan named Wu Ruo who had no spiritual power to the man surnamed Hei, and the matter was resolved. I didn't expect this junior to be so fat.
"Have you heard? The uncle and the second, fourth, and fifth masters of Wu's South Courtyard stole the betrothal gift from the Hei family." A voice suddenly came from the other side of the wall.
When Wu Yanlan heard the word 'Heijia', he couldn't help slowing down, and raised his hand to stop the servant from yelling.
"I heard that this matter has been spread all over the city. The owner of the family can't suppress it even if he wants to. Alas, the third master of the South University Courtyard is really pitiful. Half a year ago, the Lingtian was destroyed, and then he was forced to marry his son to a man. Now the black More than half of the betrothal gift sent by the family was taken away, and the people in the South University Courtyard are really deceiving people too much."
"I heard that the reason why the people in the South University Court stole these betrothal gifts was instigated by Wu Guoshi."
Wu Yanlan was furious, these people are talking nonsense to ruin the reputation of their imperial capital Wujia.
"Isn't it? Master Wu is so poor that he wants to steal other people's dowry?"
"Who knows? Don't say anything, hurry up and clean the yard, otherwise, if you are caught by the housekeeper, we will suffer."
Hearing the sound of leaving footsteps, Wu Yanlan said angrily with a dark face, "Take me to see your patriarch."
The servant hurriedly nodded to lead the way.
The people on the other side of the wall did not actually leave, and they were Shi Yuan and Shi You who Wu Ruo asked them to come here to tell Wu Yanlan what he just said. When they heard the anger, they couldn't help but smile at each other. Wu Yan Lan came to Bujin Courtyard, saw Wu Bufang who came out to greet him, and snorted coldly: "Chief Wu, I always thought you were a shrewd and capable person, otherwise, you wouldn't have built the Wu family in just a few decades." It caused such a large scale, but after I came to Gaoling today, I realized that your Wu family is so poor that you need to steal the bride price from the younger generation to live, it is really shameful, the most hateful thing is... "
The more he talked, the angrier he became: "My great-grandfather is involved in this matter, saying that my great-grandfather asked you to do this. After I go back, I will definitely tell my great-grandfather about this and ask him to remove your collateral line so as not to be punished. You have ruined your reputation."
Wu Bufang's smile froze immediately, and he hurriedly explained: "Yanlan, this is a misunderstanding..."
If they were removed, the Wu family would no longer be the largest family in Gaoling City.
"I don't care if it's a misunderstanding or not, as long as it damages the reputation of our Wu family, that's fine."
"I know." Wu Bufang felt that he was really unlucky, and originally wanted to suppress the matter, but Wu Yanlan came to Gaoling City at this time.
"You know? You know why don't you let the people in the South University Courtyard return Wu Ruo's dowry to him, and then let me suppress everything." Wu Yanlan just wants to deal with this matter quickly. The people from the big family over there knew that they would definitely make fun of the Wu family with this matter. At that time, the people from the Wu family would not have the face to go out to meet people.
"I have asked the people in the South University Courtyard to return the dowry to Wu Ruo."
"That's good." Wu Yanlan took the servant's hot tea, took a sip, and felt uneasy: "I think it's better for you to go there yourself. I'll wait for your news here, and I must make sure to check it out within today. Return the dowry to Wu Ruo."
Wu Bufang hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, I'll do it now."
He walked out of the hall, and immediately ordered the housekeeper to take out the gifts from Wu Qianjing and the others, which were some of the betrothal gifts that the Hei family gave Wu Ruo.
The head of the Wu family went out in person, so Wu Qianjing and the others could only obediently hand over the betrothal gifts and the ritual artifacts. In half an hour, cart after cart of betrothal gifts were delivered to the Shu Qing Yuan.
"Ma'am, you don't know how ugly the uncle's face was when they opened the warehouse to get the dowry. The fifth master was so angry that he took out the cane and chased the ninth and tenth sons. The scene was very lively." Peeking back from other yards The dead body also vividly talked about Wu Bufang personally coming to the door to ask Wu Qianjing to open the warehouse and move the dowry gift.
Shi Yuan suppressed the smile on his lips and said: "Clan Chief Wu said that we don't need to return those shoddy gifts, they should be treated as an apology, and then, bring your grandfather and uncle and others Go to Bu Jinyuan to accept family punishment, now the uncle and the others not only lost their wife but also lost their soldiers."
Wu Ruo smiled slightly, looking at the eighteen carts of betrothal gifts outside the courtyard, the smile on the corner of her mouth became bigger and bigger, but it was cold and cold.
It was just taking back what belonged to him, and Wu Qianjing and the others jumped in anger. If it was a dead person, what kind of expression would they have
Oh, I'm really looking forward to it!
