"Want a bill?"
The great elder laughed angrily.
"What kind of account does she want!"
The boy took a step back in fear:
"She, she said, you signed the family division contract and the property you promised to give her has not yet been given... and the dowry her mother brought, she will also take away today..."
This sentence shocked the great elder.
He almost forgot about this!
That day he was almost driven crazy by Chu Liuyue and signed without even checking carefully.
Now that I think about it roughly, it’s a lot of money!
Mother Chu Liuyue’s dowry alone was extremely generous!
If they were really returned to Chu Liuyue, it would be tantamount to causing the Chu family to bleed!
The great elder paced irritably, and from the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of the scattered account books on the table, which made him feel even worse.
The Chu family is now unable to make ends meet, and if they take out this money again, it will be even worse!
—Why is Chu Liuyue so shameless, coming directly to ask for it!
"Great Elder, you'd better go and have a look. Chu Liuyue said that if he doesn't get the money today, he won't leave... Right now, they have blocked the door..."
"It's no use!"
The great elder cursed angrily and strode out.
A mere Chu Liuyue could really tear down the Chu family!
…
The great elder rushed to the gate and almost fell down when he saw the scene in front of him.
In front of the main entrance, Chu Liuyue was standing there, with many people watching the excitement gathered around him.
And she was talking to the people around her with a sad face:
"...Yes, my mother passed away when I was very young, leaving only my father and me to depend on each other. I believe you all know that at that time, my father was injured trying to save his life and could not continue to practice. The Chu family Let’s just say that we, father and daughter, don’t have the energy to take care of my mother’s dowry, so let’s leave it all to Lu Yao for safekeeping... After so many years, my father and I finally got through it. I feel that other things are not important It's important, but the dowry belongs to my mother, and it is the last thought my mother left for me. If I don't come back, I will really feel uneasy..."
Everyone nodded after hearing this.
Chu Ning and Chu Liuyue are also considered "celebrities" in the imperial capital. Everyone talks about them in private, and they all know that what Chu Liuyue said is true.
In fact, no one knows clearly that the Chu family is doing this because they want to seize Chu Liuyue’s mother’s dowry!
The Chu family seems to have a big business, but actually they are very greedy on the inside!
"That's right! This dowry is yours and no one else can touch it! You must get it back!"
"That's right! The Chu family is one of the four great aristocratic families after all. If they really refuse to return the things to you, would that be too much?"
"That's right... If the Chu family really did that, wouldn't they lose their face?"
Everyone was talking about it, and the great elder turned pale when he heard it, and shouted angrily:
"Chu Liuyue! What are you doing!?"
Chu Liuyue raised her eyes and glanced at him lazily:
"Hey, Elder Chu, you don't know what I'm doing here? You promised to separate the family before and said you would send things that belong to me and my father. But I waited and waited, but no one came to the door. I didn't see a single thing. I thought, maybe your noble family has too many things to do, so you don't have time to arrange these little things, so I brought someone here specially this time."
Chu Liuyue raised her hand and pointed at the people behind her.
"These two are the stewards of Zhenbao Pavilion. They are the best at keeping accounts. They will help to count things bit by bit. There will be no mistakes or omissions. These four are the servants of Zhenbao Pavilion. They are very strong and can help to sort things out. Now that we’ve all moved away, I won’t bother you Chu family anymore. Elder Chu, what do you think?”
The elder was so angry that he could not speak.
This Chu Liuyue had planned everything!
This time she led people to block the door, determined to take away all those things!
It seems that if he doesn't agree, she plans to snatch it directly!
"You are so presumptuous! This is the Chu family, not a place for you to act wild!"
Chu Liuyue asked back:
"Why am I so presumptuous? I'm just here to get back what originally belonged to me and my father. Isn't this okay? Or are you planning to default on the debt, Elder Chu? Hehe, there were many people who witnessed it last time and this time. You Isn’t this not good?"
The smile on her face faded a little.
"Of course I also know that this is the Chu family. If you hadn't fulfilled your promise, why would I still come here? I'm afraid that my eyes will be dirty if I come here too many times."
"Chu Liuyue, why are you talking!"
Lu Yao, who had been late to arrive after hearing the news, scolded immediately, with a trace of resentment flashing in her eyes.
When he sees this face now, he will think of his daughter's ruined appearance and that miserable and despicable wedding!
"Although you have nothing to do with the Chu family now, those present here used to be your elders anyway. When you leave the Chu family, do you even lose your education!?"
Lu Yao still had the last trace of reason left and did not curse loudly. Knowing that so many people were watching this matter, it was better to be soft than to be harsh.
But Chu Liuyue didn't accept her trick and didn't even bother to deal with it.
"Lu Yao? You're here just in time. My mother's dowry is all at your place. Even if you count it, this time is enough for you to sort it out. Since I'm here in person today, just return it all to me. Or - you Don’t you want to hand it over?”
In front of so many people, Lu Yao couldn't deny it, so she could only forcefully curl up her lips.
"How is this possible? Not to mention the great achievements of the Chu family, even I, Lu Yao, am also from the Lu family. How can I like those things of yours?"
"That's good."
Chu Liuyue interrupted her and took out a list from her sleeve.
"This is the dowry list that my mother brought when she married into the Chu family. I will give it to Manager Wu and Manager Zhang to check one by one later. Those are the last things my mother left behind. If half of it is missing, , I won’t give up.”
With that said, Chu Liuyue handed the list to the two people behind him.
Lu Yao was dumbfounded.
That list was from more than ten years ago, how could Chu Liuyue have it
There seemed to be something blocked in her throat, but a cold sweat broke out on her back.
Over the years, she has indeed moved those things...
She originally thought that Chu Ning and Chu Liuyue would never get ahead in their lives. She naturally planned to take those things as her own. Who would have thought that they would one day turn around!
Now, she actually wants to check it carefully!
What should I do
Seeing her expression, Chu Liuyue couldn't help but sneer in her heart as she didn't know her plan clearly.
If she didn't let the entire Chu family peel off their skin today, they wouldn't know that she, Chu Liuyue, was not easy to mess with!
"Xiao Wen, bring me a chair."
Chu Liuyue gave an order, and a sturdy young man behind him immediately responded, walked quickly to the carriage next to him, took out a rosewood chair from it, and placed it behind Chu Liuyue.
Chu Liuyue sat down with a golden sword, feeling very leisurely and at ease.
"Elder Chu, Lu Yao, hurry up. There are so many things. I only have one day off today, so I have to take stock quickly."
