Qing Le condescended and squinted at He Baochen, "My princess is asking questions. If you talk nonsense and tell lies, my princess will look good on you!"
Qingle threatened viciously, his eyes were sharp, and he had a sense of nobility to suppress him, which shocked He Baochen.
"Let me ask you, why did you hold Miss He hostage last night, you bastard, you deserve to be thrown into the pond!"
Scared, He Baochen blurted out, "She ran into my room by herself. When I opened my eyes this morning, I saw her lying beside me. It has nothing to do with me!"
Wow!
Everyone was amazed, He Baochen didn't ask himself, he didn't give his sisters any room.
"Nonsense!"
A figure rushed out of the room, grabbed He Baochen's head and began to beat him, "It's clear that you took me away to try to destroy my innocence, you bastard! I'm your own sister!"
The person who rushed out was He Sui who had disappeared all night. He Sui's head was not working after being stimulated, and he rushed out desperately.
"It was you who seduced me!" He Baochen yelled, covering his head.
"Fart! Which maid in this mansion has never been slept by you, who is so romantic and worthless, I will look at you!"
He Sui was so angry that he directly exposed He Baochen's secrets, "If you are not a son, do you think everyone will tolerate you so much, if father has another son, you are not even a fart, and you have ruined the reputation of the He family for so many years , bullying men and women, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, how many troubles have caused the He family!"
He Sui poured out all the grievances he had suffered all his life, wishing he could strangle He Baochen to death.
He Baochen ran around covering his head, howling everywhere.
Madam He was angry and impatient, she could only watch helplessly as the two wrestled together, exposing each other's truth, her eyes darkened.
"If it wasn't because of your bad reputation, I wouldn't be unmarried!" He Sui became more and more angry as he spoke, and beat He Baochen everywhere and ran away, no one dared to stop him.
He Baochen is a scumbag, and many maids in the mansion are heartbroken for him. If he targets him, there will be no good end. They wish He Baochen could be beaten to death.
Zhao Xian'er and the others let out a bad breath, not to mention how happy they are.
He Sui stopped beating when he was tired. Unexpectedly, He Baochen grabbed a wooden stick on the ground and greeted He Sui.
He Baochen sneered, "Damn! Why are you pretending to be noble, just because of your appearance, you dare to think about the noble son of the capital, and you don't even use a mirror to see if you are worthy!"
He Baochen was furious, he had never been beaten like this before when he was so old, so he beat He Sui with the wooden stick mercilessly.
He Sui couldn't help screaming and wailing, and fainted in a blink of an eye. Even so, He Baochen didn't stop.
"stop!"
A stern voice sounded from behind, and Zhao Xianer followed her gaze, and saw an old lady standing outside the door with a gloomy face, walking in slowly.
Madam He suddenly felt able to move her body, and rushed towards He Sui with a scream, "Sister Sui, Sister Sui!"
After calling twice, He Sui answered twice with humming and chirping, but finally didn't get up.
"What are you still doing in a daze, go get the doctor!" Mrs. He turned her head and shouted at the servant girl.
"Yes, servant girl is going now." A servant girl rushed away.
"Madam He." Zhao Xian'er whispered.
Mrs. He nodded to the three of them, "I'm disturbing everyone, please forgive me, the three of you might as well go to the front hall and wait for a while."
"Mother, don't allow them to leave, Sui'er and Baochen are calculated to be like this, absolutely can't just let it go!"
Mrs. He glared at the three of them with a sullen look on her face, and she was very angry.
"Shut up!" Mrs. He scolded, "Don't you think you have lost enough face, do you have to interrogate you one by one before you are willing to give up?"
Mrs. He seemed to be choked by someone, and she couldn't say a word at once.
Although Mrs. He was not in the mansion yesterday, she knew what was going on when she saw the situation.
Mrs. He knew the virtue of her grandson best. She probably wanted to plot against Zhao Xian'er, but Zhao Xian'er taught him a lesson.
Mrs. He sighed, He Baochen is the only child of the He family, has never married a wife, and is also a well-known scoundrel in Lincheng, and He Baochen will definitely frown when he mentions He Baochen.
Mrs. He has always turned a blind eye to it before, if it continues to develop now, I am afraid that the He family will be destroyed by He Baochen sooner or later.
A hundred years later, how could Mrs. He have the face to face the ancestors of the He family? As soon as she went out, she was scolded like a spine. Mrs. He lived her whole life, but she couldn't hold her head up because of a junior.
Mrs. He has completely figured it out.
Zhao Xian'er glanced at the servant girl, and took out a brocade box from her bosom, "Madam, I came here at the order of my grandmother."
Mrs. He took the letter and opened it, her face turned completely pale, which was gradually replaced by resentment.
Turning her eyes to look at Mrs. He fiercely, Mrs. He's heart skipped a beat, with an ominous premonition lingering in her heart, "Mother..."
Mrs. He held the letter tightly, and threw it to Mrs. He. Mrs. He quickly picked up the letter and looked at it, her expression changed drastically.
"Mother, it's not true...."
"Back then, the Zhao family returned half of the dowry, why didn't you mention it?" Mrs. He's youngest daughter was weak since she was a child, and she left after marrying Mr. Zhao for five years.
Thinking of her little daughter, the corners of Mrs. He's eyes were slightly wet, as if remembering something sad.
"I..." Mrs. He didn't expect that after so many years, the old lady of the Zhao family would bring up the old matter again, "I also think about Chan Ling, so as not to be abused by her stepmother in the future, and there is no guarantee for her marriage in the future."
Zhao Xian'er sneered when she heard the words, "That's right, so the two families keep half of the elder sister's dowry. In a few days, the other half of the eldest sister's dowry will be sent back to the He family by the Zhao family."
Mrs. He's eyes lit up when she heard this.
"Since it is preserved, what about the dowry?" Mrs. He suppressed her anger, "This dowry belongs to Chanling, whether she needs it or not, you shouldn't interfere!"
Mrs. He suddenly froze, "Mother, you can't say that. Now that the He family is headed by a daughter-in-law, there is no need to spend money on food and clothing. Besides, the dowry was also carried out from the He family. Naturally, it is counted in the He family's property, and the He family has only two children, and they will be spent in the future."
Madam He took it for granted, her back straightened.
"I'm asking where is your dowry!" Mrs. He asked in a deep voice.
Mrs. He's eyes are evasive. It's been more than ten years. She has squandered the dowry and there is not much left. How can I get it out
"Mrs. He, Mrs. He went to the Zhao Manor to make a big fuss. She had to ask the Zhao family to explain to the He family. Grandmother gave Mrs. He a million taels of silver to settle the matter." Zhao Xian'er said in a low voice.
Mrs. He glared at Zhao Xian'er, "This is a matter of the He family, and has nothing to do with you. What kind of relative are you meddling in?"
Mrs. He just felt that her face was about to be humiliated, and she was exhausted, especially in front of so many juniors. Mrs. He acted frankly and seldom housekeeper, so many things were kept in the dark.
After being exposed one by one today, Mrs. He burst into anger, "Shut up!"
"I'm asking you one last time, where's the dowry!"
The murderous intent in Mrs. He's eyes made Mrs. He back a few steps, murmured her lips and couldn't say a word, she winked at He Baochen, how dare He Baochen come forward, she kept her head down and pretended not to see.
Mrs. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Mother, the family ugliness must not be publicized. Let's talk about it later. There is no need for outsiders to see the joke."
"A joke?" Mrs. He sneered, "Over the years, the He family has had few jokes. Don't blame me for being merciless if you don't explain it clearly today!"
Mrs. He's eyelids twitched, knowing that today's catastrophe is inevitable, "The shops I ran in the past few years all lost some money, so my daughter-in-law embezzled some of the dowry..."
Mrs. He is full of confidence. After all, Zhao Chanling won't be able to use the dowry. In the future, it will all belong to the He family. Even if she uses it, she should.
Mrs. He shook her body angrily, her face was gloomy and embarrassing like water, and she said to the servant girl, "Bring the account books for the past few years, and then invite all the shop stewards!"
Mrs. He was startled, "Mother, what are you doing?"
Mrs. He doesn't believe a word of what Mrs. He said, so she must investigate thoroughly.
Seeing that Mrs. He is not moved, if she really wants to check the accounts, all of Mrs. He's expenses will be revealed.
"Mother, in fact, part of it was spent for Bao Chen at the beginning, as well as the master's official career. If the trouble becomes big, it will have a bad impact on the He family." Mrs. He hurriedly persuaded.
Mrs. He is going all out, making up her mind to clean up the house for the He family every day.
"Write down a sum of expenses. It's been so many years. Although I can't remember all of them, it's probably okay to have some!"
Mrs. He did not intend to let Mrs. He go. Mrs. He gritted her teeth tightly. Apart from the lost part of the money, most of the money was used as a subsidy for her natal family.
Who would have thought that after such a long time, the old account would be brought out, and Mrs. He had no time to prepare.
Look at this posture, Mrs. He is doomed, Mrs. He is not soft-tempered.
"Mrs. He, since it's inconvenient, let's go first." Zhao Xian'er didn't want to listen to the He family's private affairs.
"Miss Zhao, don't worry, the He family will definitely give you a complete explanation on this matter!" Mrs. He said firmly.
"Thank you, old lady." Zhao Xian'er nodded, and then left the He family.
Mrs. He doesn't have the guts to let people keep her. Now that she can't protect herself, how can she control Zhao Xian'er and the three of them.
Mrs. He was really upset, why did Zhao Xianer pat her butt and leave after disturbing the He family.
The hated Mrs. He almost gritted her silver teeth, scolding the Zhao family for being nosy, and couldn't help muttering.
"Mother, how could the Zhao family not be held responsible for Baochen and Sister Sui's injuries?"
Mrs. He didn't even look at Mrs. He's virtue. She was blind at the beginning, and she married such a scourge.
"Please come here!"
Uncle He accompanied Mrs. He to offer incense, and now he just went to the government office to do business, and was invited away by the servant before he entered the door.
Mrs. He's eyelids twitched, "Mother, it must be the Zhao family who wanted to shirk their responsibility. Chan Ling's good marriage was not kept, so they spread their grievances on us. Mother, don't be fooled."
"If you can't get the dowry today, I'm sorry, the He family will never tolerate your continuing to act recklessly!" with a determined face.
Mrs. He was taken aback and shook her head, just at that moment Master He came in, and the servant told Master He all the ins and outs along the way.
One can imagine how embarrassing Uncle He's face is!
As soon as Uncle He entered the door, he kicked Mrs. He, "Where is the dowry?"
Mrs. He was caught off guard and fell to the ground. She clutched her heart and couldn't breathe for a long time, "Master!"
Uncle He tightly held Madam He's collar with one hand, with a fierce expression on his face, "I'm asking you something!"
Mrs. He trembled with fright, but couldn't utter a complete sentence.
Soon several shop stewards came and stood aside tremblingly.
"Check! The store's losses and monthly profit expenditures over the years, I have calculated each one carefully!"
Mrs. He ordered in a cold voice, "There is a little bit of falsehood, I found it out, see you in the government!"
The shopkeepers tightened their hearts and raised their eyes to look at Mrs. He. They didn't dare to delay when they saw this appearance, so they checked on the spot.
Mrs. He's heart was beating so hard that she choked in her throat and couldn't utter a single rebuttal.
Uncle He stood aside, and then glanced at He Baochen who was shrinking around the corner, the disgust in his eyes deepened.
After waiting for a full two hours, the account books were finally calculated. Not only was there no loss, but the annual profit was at least 200,000 taels.
But Mrs. He always said that she was losing money and needed to manage it, and Mrs. He didn't ask much, and everything was left to her to manage.
Now being slapped naked, Mrs. He laughed out loud, "Yuan Er, this is the result of patience. Sooner or later, the He family will be defeated by this woman. However, there is no need to be stabbed in the back, it is enough for the mansion to be pointed at for so many years!"
"Mother!" Mrs. He was startled, "Listen to my explanation..."
"If the dowry and silver taels are handed over within three days, I will still treat you as my daughter-in-law, and I can even let the past go!"
Mrs. He suddenly glanced at Mrs. He, Mrs. He opened her mouth, she couldn't explain these things at all, how can she get back the money she spit out
Seeing that Mrs. He could not refute a word, Mrs. He took a deep breath, "Write a letter of divorce, all these losses will be deducted from her dowry, and you are not allowed to take a single bit away."
Uncle He hesitated, Mrs. He said again, "The He family doesn't worry about a son-in-law, just marry another one in the future, if you continue to indulge, even the three from Kyoto will definitely not spare you lightly, one Zhao family and one princess A daughter of the prime minister's mansion, which one can we afford to provoke?"
Uncle He nodded when he heard the words. Mrs. He has offended others by her own crimes, and she can suppress the He family out of breath with just one shot.
"In addition, prepare two million two hundred silver and send it back to the Zhao family."
Mrs. He is a person who cares about face, and she will never be allowed to be underestimated, especially Mrs. Zhao.
"Yes, my son knows."
"Mother, I have paid so much for my family over the years, but in the end they have abandoned me because of other people's slanderous words. I don't accept it!"
Mrs. He was stunned, and she jumped three feet high when she wanted to sleep her.
"This matter is beyond your control. The He family has long been a joke in Lincheng, and it's not bad. If you are not convinced, let's see the outcome in the official hall and see how the county magistrate pronounces the sentence. As for your dowry, if you want to You have to exchange Chan Ling’s dowry, otherwise you can’t take it away!”
Mrs. He is willing to go all out. If this matter is exposed, Mrs. He will definitely be divorced. If she gets involved too much, her natal family will definitely be involved, and her family will be offended, and Mrs. He's life will become a problem in the future.
Mrs. He was angry and angry, "Mother, you can't treat me like this, master, can the relationship between you and me be measured by money for twenty years?"
Uncle He looked at Mrs. He with an annoyed expression, "Mother is right, if you are not convinced, just vote for it!"
"Me!" Mrs. He's heart was ashamed.
"Grandmother, father, this matter has nothing to do with me..." He Baochen jumped out and quickly separated the relationship.
Mrs. He glanced at He Baochen, "Baochen and Sister Sui, either go out of the house to follow your mother, or go to the He Family Buddha Hall to live a lifetime, eat chaff and swallow vegetables, and don't complain!"
"Grandmother!" He Baochen was stunned for a moment, he didn't want to choose either.
"This matter is settled like this. If you don't leave the house within three days, don't blame me for being ungrateful!" Mrs. He helped the maid's hand and left, her mind went black for a while.
Uncle He didn't make a sound, turned around and left, extremely disappointed with this son-in-law, and didn't miss it at all.
"Mother, what should I do now?" He Baochen was stunned, at a loss, "Mother, take me away."
Mrs. He gritted her teeth tightly, there was no way out now, her dowry remained in the mansion, and it would also be given to He Yan in the future.
How reconciled Mrs. He is, she doesn't know what she is planning in her heart.
The next day Mrs. He sent someone to let the wind out, and the He family was forced to have nowhere to go by the Princess of Kyoto, forcing the He family to abandon their wretched wife for many years, which made the He family fly like a dog.
