Mrs. Guo didn't want to hand over the shop, let alone return the profits from the shop to Li Man'er. It was not easy to occupy the shop in an open and honest manner.
Now the Marquis and the old lady are putting pressure on her. In other words, she has to hand over this shop whether she wants to or not. Once Li Man'er makes things worse, the Li family will even divorce her for the sake of face!
After all, only poor families would use their daughter-in-law's dowry. It was unique for someone like her to fill up a house and marry in, using the first wife's dowry to live on and supplement her parents' family.
If he wanted to occupy the shop openly, he had to change the relationship between the two. Mr. Guo had evil thoughts, so he asked Aunt Yu to go back to her parents' house and act in a play with her.
She just didn't expect that everything was planned by Li Man'er. Although Li Man'er didn't know exactly what she was going to do, she was already wary of her.
Within a few days, Mrs. Guo felt tired and dizzy, unable to get up. She invited a doctor to see her, but he only said that she was suffering from a sudden attack of anger and excessive anger. It happened that the prince Li Qingyun's body was not feeling well either, probably from eating cold food.
She suffered from vomiting and diarrhea for several days, which made Ms. Cui so anxious that she also got angry.
Mrs. Guo then said that she would go to the Yaowang Temple to pay homage to the King of Medicine and pray for the safety of the whole family.
Mrs. Cui didn't agree, so she immediately gave her her share of the sesame oil money and asked her to donate merit on her behalf.
Mrs. Guo then begged Ms. Cui: "Mom, why don't you let the eldest daughter go with your daughter-in-law? My daughter-in-law has already thought about it. This shop is destined to be repaid, but in terms of income..."
Mr. Guo was embarrassed, "All the money from previous years has been posted, and I have paid tribute to my wife and you. It will be a while. Where can my wife get so much money? I'm afraid I can't make it."
Cui's eyelids raised, "You have an account for all the silver you paid to honor your mother-in-law. I also have an account for the things you sent to my house during the three festivals and two birthdays. I can ask Grandma Wang to calculate them for you. As for the other money, I have an account.
You know better than me where we have been, so why bother trying to fight with me?"
"Mother……"
"Let's not talk about how your mother's family bought the three-level house. Just talk about how much money your unhappy nephew has lost over the years! Guo Lingyu is a sixth-grade petty official. How can he afford it?"
Guo's teeth itched with hatred, but she did not dare to refute.
"It's my daughter-in-law's fault. My daughter-in-law has no place to be ashamed of herself."
Mrs. Cui snorted coldly, "Your aunt is my concubine. What kind of virtues do I know about her? I guess she has been looking for you a lot."
"What my mother said is that because of this, I, I am ashamed of my husband and I am ashamed of the eldest girl. But I really can't get the money, so I thought about discussing with the eldest girl, if you can give me some time and divide it into batches.
Pay back, or pay back less."
Ms. Cui chuckled lightly, "I'm afraid that girl is so broke that she won't be able to fulfill your wishes."
"Mom, I have to give it a try. My daughter-in-law thinks that going to Yaowang Temple this time is an opportunity. It is a quiet place in Buddhism. Maybe the older girl's mentality will be different?"
Ms. Cui didn't think much about it, "That's all, let's take her with us!"
Mrs. Guo suppressed the excitement in her heart and responded in a low voice: "Yes." This time, she wants Li Man'er to lose his wife and surrender. Want a shop? Dream on!
When Li Man'er heard that Mrs. Guo was going to take her to pay homage to the King of Medicine, she knew that Mrs. Guo could finally take action.
"Why do you want to worship the King of Medicine? Doesn't my mother usually like to go to Ganzhao Temple to worship Buddha? Why do you want to go to the Temple of the King of Medicine this time?"
In fact, Li Man'er knew very well that in a royal temple like Ganzhao Temple, how could the Guo family be allowed to be so presumptuous? She didn't dare to do anything dirty there. Yaowang Temple was different, it was remote and far away, and it was still old.
Po Xiao, I guess that Miao Zhu has been bribed by the Guo family a long time ago.
"The eldest lady doesn't know. My wife has been feeling unwell the past few days. In addition, the prince is also very ill and has not recovered after taking several medicines, so I thought of going to Yaowang Temple to pay my respects. Although Yaowang Temple is
It is not as popular as Ganzhao Temple, but it specializes in treating human ailments, so you can go and pay homage. Originally, my wife was afraid that the eldest daughter would find the temple too small and it was located in a remote location and was unwilling to go, but the old lady said that now the eldest daughter is also the sage of the apricot forest and the king of medicine.
I am a disciple, so I asked my wife to call me the eldest girl as well."
Look, Mr. Guo went to great lengths to plot against her! If she didn't go, wouldn't all of Mr. Guo's efforts have been in vain?
"The weather is too hot and I'm tired, so I don't want to go."
When Grandma Yu heard this, she immediately said: "Don't worry, eldest lady, everything has been properly arranged along the way, and I will not let the eldest daughter suffer any injustice. Although the Yaowang Temple is not as grand as Ganzhao Temple, it has excellent scenery."
, if the girl goes, her trip will be worthwhile."
"Hey, I just realized today that Aunt Yu has such a clever mouth. I bet even the storytellers in restaurants outside are not as eloquent as you."
Several girls wanted to laugh but did not dare to laugh, so they held back.
Mrs. Yu pretended she didn't understand, but in fact she almost vomited blood.
"Okay, since my wife is so kind, I'll go."
Mrs. Yu was overjoyed, "The slave will go back to report to the madam. The eldest girl is resting well. We will leave after breakfast tomorrow."
"Yeah." Li Man'er waved his hand as if to shoo away flies.
Yu cursed secretly, "You little hooves, it depends on how long you can be proud of yourself. When you enter Yaowang Temple, you will be in a different situation."
"My slave, please leave." Mrs. Yu bowed her head and exited Li Man'er's small hall, not seeing the cold gaze in Li Man'er's eyes at all.
"Girl, do you think your wife is going to take action?" Zi Yan felt that her heart was beating so fast and violently, as if something big was about to happen.
"Yes! She's going to take action."
Luyi snorted coldly, "I know she has no good intentions. Girl, what should we do? Why don't we go find the master?"
"Isn't that just a warning? They haven't taken action yet, so Li Shu can't do anything even if he wants to."
Zi Yan and Lu Yi looked at each other, and it seemed that the eldest girl's hatred for the Marquis had not dissipated much.
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cubs." Li Man'er simply said, "Girl, I'll treat you to a big show."
"What big show?"
Zi Yan pushed Lu Yi, "Oh, you really think you're watching a show. I don't know how dangerous it is!" She seemed worried, and asked: "Is there any chance of success, girl?"
"
Li Man'er waved her hand, remembering an interesting sentence she heard in her previous life, and relayed it to them, "High-end hunters often appear as prey. I'll let you see, girl, what it means to kill without mercy."
When the two girls heard this, their eyes lit up. For some reason, they were obviously a little scared, but more of them were looking forward to it.
After breakfast the next day, Li Maner went out with Zi Yan and Green Clothes. Before leaving, she told Aunt Wu to watch the yard and never let anyone in easily.
"Mommy, if you guard this gate well, the things I do will be meaningful."
Aunt Wu immediately nodded, "Don't worry, girl, I will risk my life to prevent them from harming you."
