"Such a trivial matter is going to court, do you think the reputation of the Zhen Guohou Mansion is too good, or do you think you are not ashamed enough?" The old lady looked at Murong Xue coldly and reprimanded her sharply.
Family ugliness should not be made public, when scandals happened in other people's houses, they would do everything possible to hide them, but Murong Xue was fine, she wished to make a noise so that the whole capital knew about it, she really didn't know what to do.
"You stole my mother's dowry, so I will sue in court. Even if I lose face, it is you who lose face. Don't forget, the relationship between us is very sensitive." Murong Xue said slowly, with a smile that was not a smile.
The old lady's shrewd eyes narrowed sharply. Murong Xue and Murong Ye's parents are dead and they are still young, but she is not their real grandmother, and her young children are not direct relatives of Murong Xue and Murong Ye. Uncle, aunt, if Murong Xue sued their mother and son for stealing their brother and sister's private property, outsiders would definitely believe it.
"Qingyan, you go back to the house and bring back all the jewelry you took away." The dowries in the storeroom are all high-quality goods, she has already taken a fancy to them, and is planning to share them equally among her Jian'er and Rou'er, but, This matter must be done quietly, and outsiders must never know.
"Grandmother!" Song Qingyan looked at Du Shi with tears in her eyes. Those jewelry were very delicate and beautiful. She liked them very much, and she didn't want to return any of them. Grandmother couldn't help her fight for it
"Why, you don't even listen to what grandma said? Go back and get the jewelry." Du's face was gloomy, and now she is returning the jewelry to appease Murong Xue and let her give up pursuing this matter. When Murong Xue puts down her guard, she will slowly figure it out. , swallowed all the dowry in the entire warehouse.
Looking at her stern face, Song Qingyan's body froze, and her eyes were full of grievances. It's really disgusting that her grandmother taught her a lesson for Murong Xue!
"Hmph!" Song Qingyan stomped her feet heavily, and ran out wiping her tears.
"My mother's dowry list is on record in the county government, and all the lost jewelry is written on it. I hope that cousin Qingyan sends back all original products, not some fake ones that are fake and fool people."
The cold reminder sounded in her ears, Song Qingyan paused, turned her head to look at Murongxue, and gritted her teeth: "Cousin, don't worry, Yan'er is also the prostitute of the Hou family, she has countless jewelry, and she doesn't bother to be greedy for such a small gain."
"That's great!" Murong Xue said casually, obviously not believing her.
Song Qingyan held a breath of anger in her chest, unable to go up or down, glared at Murong Xue with hatred, and walked out angrily: She really planned to return two boxes of jewelry casually as a perfunctory Murong Xue, but she didn't expect Murong Xue Knowing her intentions, she had to return the real beautiful jewellery, which was abhorrent.
A servant girl quickly walked into the main courtyard and whispered something in the old lady's ear!
The old lady's complexion was gloomy for an instant, her stern eyes were like sharp arrows, and she shot at Murong Xue: "You want to break off the engagement with Prince Jing?"
"Yes!" Murong Xue nodded, "Ye Yichen brought back his sweetheart, and in order to live with him, he relegated me to a side concubine, and the concubine of the concubine of the Hou's mansion will be pointed at by others." For the sake of the century-old reputation of the Zhen Guohou Mansion, I proposed to divorce the engagement."
"Marriage has always been the order of the parents. According to the words of the matchmaker, how can you break off the marriage without the permission of the elders?" Mrs. Du reprimanded sharply.
Murong Xue looked at her with a half-smile: "The elder step-grandmother refers to you, step-grandmother?"
Du's eyes were cold: "Your parents are both deceased. Although I am not your biological grandmother, I am also your step-grandmother, your legitimate elder. I am concerned about your marriage. Is it wrong?"
Murong Xue squinted at her, and said leisurely: "The marriage contract between me and King Jing was made by my father and the old King Jing personally, without the hands of the inner court people. As long as the male elders agree, the engagement can be withdrawn. I asked my step-grandmother what she meant."
"Your second uncle..."
"My second uncle is far away in Jingzhou, and it will take more than a month to go back and forth. The matter of retiring the marriage is very urgent, and there is no time to ask the second uncle's meaning. My brother is the current Zhen Guohou, and the elder brother is the father. He has already agreed with me and Ye Yichen. Withdrawing the engagement, the step-grandmother doesn't have to worry about it anymore." Murong Xue looked at her with a smile, and a flash of meaning flashed in her eyes.
After Murong died in the Vietnam War, the Du family was full of joy and thought that the position of Zhen Guohou's mansion would fall to Murong Fitness. Unexpectedly, the emperor ordered Murong Ye, who was only four years old, to succeed him, and transferred Murong Jian far away to Jingzhou. He was not called back to Beijing, this is the real reason why Mrs. Du hated their brother and sister.
Du's face was gloomy and terrifying. Murong Xue's demotion as a side concubine did damage the reputation of the Zhen Guohou Mansion, but compared to the reputation of the Marquis Mansion, she was more willing to see Murong Xue suffer bad luck. After all, Murong Xue was Murong Yue's daughter. It has nothing to do with her directly. She can completely clear herself up. It's all because Murong Ye, that brainless dandy, was actually persuaded by Murong Xue to agree to her divorce. It's really abominable!
"Woof!" A white light rushed in and fell into Murong Xue's arms.
Murong Xue looked down, and saw a snow-white puppy lying in her arms, looking at her with wet eyes, its cute and cute appearance made her heart melt.
Is this the Tibetan mastiff that killed five big dogs? Murong Xue couldn't believe her eyes.
"Tibetan mastiff, little Tibetan mastiff!" Murong Ye ran over panting, and when he saw the Tibetan mastiff in Murong Xue's arms acting coquettishly and cutely, he immediately became furious: "Master, let someone bathe you, brush your hair, and wait on you It’s so comfortable, you don’t even have a single word of thanks, and you come here in such a hurry, you’re so heartless!”
"It's still young and ignorant, so don't worry about it." Murong Xue rubbed the Tibetan Mastiff's head, feeling happy: "Let's give it a name, Tibetan Mastiff calls it every day, it doesn't sound good."
Murong Ye's eyes lit up, and he was the best at naming dogs: "It bites very badly, why not call it General Chang Sheng."
Murong Xue's bright face darkened in an instant: "If it follows me, it won't go to the Colosseum again. You should stop using names related to biting, and think about something normal."
He stayed in the Colosseum all year round to fight dogs with people, and the names he gave to dogs were basically related to winning in a fight. He had never chosen a normal name.
Murong Ye frowned, looking at the one person and one dog who got along well, Yoyo suggested: "Sister, you treasure this Tibetan mastiff so much, why don't you just call it baby?"
"Baby?" Murong Xue raised her eyebrows: "It feels weird!"
"Then call it Baby?" Murong Ye suggested softly, looking at Murong Xue's face that was gradually darkening, he quickly changed his words: "Called Beibei?"
"Beibei? Let's call it Beibei if we're still together." Murong Ye's level of naming is just like this. Murong Xue couldn't think of a particularly good name for a while, so she called it Beibei.
Looking at Murong Xue, Murong Ye, and Du Shi who were having a happy conversation, the two juniors chatted like no one else, completely ignoring her existence. Are they deliberately treating her as transparent and planning to give her power
Her lips moved, and she was about to teach her a lesson, when Murong Xue spoke first: "Cousin Yan will take at least an hour to return the jewelry, Hongxiu, first lock the warehouse and bring the key here."
"Yes!" Hongxiu Fufu stepped forward to lock the warehouse door, and put the key into Murong Xue's hand.
Murong Xue is going to take charge of the warehouse in person!
Du's eyes froze, and he said loudly: "All the famous nobles in the capital hand over the keys to the closet nanny. You are the daughter of the dignified Marquis, and you are not afraid of being laughed at by others for keeping these vulgar things yourself."
"I don't have a trustworthy nanny by my side, so I can only keep the keys myself. When I find someone trustworthy, I will naturally hand over the keys to her, so I won't bother my step-grandmother." Murong Xue retorted unhurriedly.
Du Shi choked, and a haze flashed in her eyes. If the key to the warehouse was in Murong Xue's hands, she would never have a chance to swallow the dowry inside: "Ye Er, persuade your sister, an unmarried girl, spend all day Caring about the dowry, and not afraid of being ridiculed by others."
Murong Ye frowned, and said in a low voice: "Grandmother, my sister is fourteen years old and will be married soon. There is nothing wrong with learning to manage the dowry and be in charge of the inner courtyard."
"You... you guys!" Du Shi was furious, his cold eyes shifted from Murong Ye to Murong Xue, and then from Murong Xue to Murong Ye. He wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything in the end. Walk out without going back.
Looking at the back of her walking away quickly, Murong Ye was confused: "Did I say something wrong?"
"No, the step-grandmother is happy for her elder brother's sensibleness!" Murong Xue comforted with a smile, her eyes were slightly cold: Mrs. Du should be resentful that her brother and sister cut off her financial resources, Mrs. Du took a fancy to the dowry in the warehouse, I will definitely try my best to win it!
However, she is not afraid of them, soldiers will block them, and they will be covered by water and earth.
