In the room, the smell of medicine was very strong. Ning was lying on the bed and fell asleep after taking the medicine. When she saw Mrs. Yu, she immediately woke up.
"Mother!" The recent series of losses are all due to Ning. Now seeing Mrs. Yu, Ning is becoming more and more afraid to be tough. She lowered her voice and said, holding her hands on the maid next to her, looking as if she wanted to get up on the bed.
Salute Mrs. Yu.
Mrs. Yu looked at Mr. Ning coldly, her face gloomy.
Mrs. Ning gritted her teeth and stood up, sweating on her sore forehead, but she could only bend down on the bed for Mrs. Yu.
"Excuse me!" Mrs. Yu finally said and sat down on the chair facing the bed.
As soon as Ning's hand loosened, she fell down on the bed and couldn't even speak for a while.
"Marquis Xuanping sent someone over to ask for compensation." Mrs. Yu looked at her daughter-in-law's face, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were covered with ice. She was very angry just now, but now all her anger was directed at Ning, "
You can sort it out yourself and pay the money, within these two days, Marquis Xuanping said otherwise he will make this matter public, and if that time comes, Zhongyang will divorce you."
Ning finally recovered, but when she heard this sentence, she said anxiously: "Mother, didn't you say you secretly sold part of the dowry?"
"You said before that your cousin wouldn't force you to pay back the money?" Mrs. Yu glared at Mrs. Ning with triangular eyes.
"Mom, my cousin was beaten by you that day. She is now..." Ning defended with a blush. She was also panicked when the incident happened. Then she thought of her cousin and felt that the matter was not serious.
If something happened to Yu Xijiao, how could Yu Ruiwen still ask for money from him?
What I didn't expect was an accident.
"I don't want to get involved in your affairs. One cousin and one cousin, I haven't seen anything good about you. You are all useless." Mrs. Yu sneered and interrupted Ning's defense.
"I..." Ning's face turned red.
"I don't want to hear anything else. As long as you know that you can't raise the money within two days, I will divorce you directly without waiting for Marquis Xuanping to say anything, so as not to harm your two children. We Marquis Zhengyuan
The government does not need an embarrassing daughter-in-law." Mrs. Yu said angrily.
"Mother, how about these things..." Ning said anxiously.
"Don't talk about anything else, these things are all your cousins' business. I thought you were right before, your cousin is someone who can take care of things. Now look at what she does...she is not Mrs. Xuanpinghou.
She can't even settle such a trivial matter. It's a waste that I listened to you before and thought she was someone who could cause trouble."
Mrs. Yu mocked, very dissatisfied.
Being repeatedly ridiculed and scolded by Mrs. Yu, Ning felt a trace of anger in her eyes, but she didn't dare to really respond, "Mother... I... I don't have that much money."
"Where is your dowry? Where is the money you used to collect? Ning, don't think that I don't know because I don't care about things. Some of An's things have long been in your hands. Now that Anguo's palace is gone, you can sell those things.
You can also use it directly to pay off the debt." Mrs. Yu said impatiently, "I only care about the amount of money I get, and I will give it to Marquis Xuanping when the time comes, so as not to cause trouble for Xueer."
"Mom, my sister-in-law doesn't have many things left. I gave more to Lan Xuan. Most of them are in Lan Xuan's dowry." Ning was sweating profusely. Compared to her, An's dowry was the most important thing, but
These important items have now become Yu Lanxuan's dowry. Because of the assassin issue, even if the dowry is returned, the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion cannot use it.
Even regarding the dowry issue, the Yamen went to Xinkangbo Mansion to look for some "missing" dowries and recovered some of them.
Both families were shameless and did not dare to speak out about this matter.
"It's up to you. If you don't want to be divorced, just pay out everything you owe." Mrs. Yu said coldly, "Now that things have happened, you're not still planning Lan Xuan's dowry, are you? This batch of things
You can use it, but not now. You have to rely on yourself now. It’s up to you whether to go or stay.”
Mrs. Yu snorted coldly, stood up, and looked down at Mrs. Ning. She thought it was ridiculous that Mrs. Ning wanted to secretly hide some money: "If you can't pass this test now, then you might as well be divorced.
I will not keep you as a concubine in my house. If you are a concubine, what will Xueer do? It would be better to die if you have a biological mother who is a concubine."
After Mrs. Yu finished speaking, she smiled gloomily.
Ning felt a chill in her heart, stretched out her hand to cover her chest, and said timidly: "Mother..."
"Think carefully. If you need to prepare, do it right away. Don't...even lose your life! I suddenly feel that having a mother who is willing to die to apologize is much better for her children than a mother who is divorced." Yu
The lady mocked.
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Ning was anxious and angry, clutching her chest and almost unable to breathe. She heard a chill in Mrs. Yu's words. If she couldn't pass this level, she would die.
Mrs. Yu will not let herself be divorced.
For so many years, I had served this old beggar wholeheartedly and treated her as my biological mother, but now I was treated like this by this old beggar.
Looking at Mrs. Yu's back, she almost gritted her teeth with anger.
"Madam, don't be angry." A woman came out from behind the bed. This is Ning's personal mother-in-law, Aunt Xiao. This is Ning's dowry.
"Look at this old beggar, what did she say? She knows all these things, but now she says it's all my fault, and she's not willing to pay even a tael of silver." Ning was so angry that she patted the bed hard.
"Madam, please be gentler." Aunt Xiao looked out the window.
"I'm afraid she will do something bad. Now she is nothing. She still wants to pretend to be the wife of the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion. If the uncle is gone, she is nothing." Ning cursed angrily, but her voice was unconscious.
It was lowered by a few points.
"Madam, it's better to pay your dowry to the account first!" Aunt Xiao walked to the bed, gently gave Ning a hand, so that she could lie down more comfortably, and whispered, "Old slave
Depending on what Mrs. Madam wants, you will definitely have to spend money this time."
Ning lay down again, took a deep breath, and cursed bitterly: "First the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, and then the Xing Mansion. This damn old woman is not willing to leave at all. This damn old woman..."
"Madam, be careful what you say." Aunt Xiao reminded Ning again.
Ning took two deep breaths, her eyes almost bulging out. She suppressed the anger in her heart and then said to the maid Xiang Cui on the side, "Go and take out my private room."
In response, Xiangcui went to the place where Ning's money was hidden and took the box inside.
Ning asked Aunt Xiao to do the counting for her.
After the counting was completed, Aunt Xiao frowned: "Madam, if these are returned to Marquis Xuanping, it will be enough, but if you add the punishment to the government... it may not be enough."
"The betrothal gifts left by the Xingfu are still there, and some others are also in Yu Lanxuan's dowry..." Mrs. Ning took two deep breaths when she said this. She couldn't say anything anymore and slapped the pillow in front of her hard. She hated it!
"Ma'am, you can't move that part." Xiangcui reminded timidly.
Ning's face was gloomy and she said nothing.
Aunt Xiao took a look and hurriedly advised: "Madam, although the words of the Madam don't sound good, one thing is true. As long as you pass this threshold, everything in the future will not be a big deal."
Having said this, Aunt Xiao looked around and saw that there were only three masters and servants in the house. Then she whispered in Ning's ear: "Young lady is a person who strives for success. You will have a good life in the future."
Aunt Xiao had just returned from the house she had left with Yu Lanxue. She was about to report to the Ning family when Mrs. Yu returned.
"Xue'er, she...has accomplished something?" Ning was overjoyed and took Aunt Xiao's hand.
Aunt Xiao smiled and nodded.
"Okay, okay, that's great. You are indeed my Xue'er." Ning stood up excitedly and smiled happily.
"The eldest girl has always been the most ambitious and intelligent. Among all the girls in the house, there is no one who is more outstanding than the eldest girl. She is good-looking, smart and has a good family background. Concubine Ning said that there is no one more suitable than the eldest girl.
People." Aunt Xiao's old face turned into a flower with a smile, "Madam, now is not the time to be reluctant to part with money."
"Here...give me the money, I'll give you the money." Ning gritted her teeth and clenched her fist vigorously, "Yu Ruiwen, the Marquis of Xuanping, let's see how long he can be. Waiting for Xue'er..."
At this point, Mrs. Ning took a deep breath and cautiously did not continue her words. She raised her head and looked in the direction of Marquis Xuanping, "Ms. Qian is really useless. She can't even take care of her stepdaughter."
These words turned out to be much calmer than before.
"Madam, aren't we here with you?" Xiangcui saw Ning's mood improved and came up to join in the fun.
"It is true that I am still there. Does Marquis Xuanping think my money is so easy to get?" Ning sneered, "Go and get my other private box, and I will send money to Marquis Xuanping's mansion first.
Later... let Yu Zhuqing pay back the money. If you take my money, you will eventually have to pay it back."
"What Madam said is that in the future... Madam can do whatever she wants. Not to mention the Xuanping Hou Mansion, even the old princess must respect you when she sees you. You can do whatever you want then.
Okay." Aunt Xiao pointed her finger in the direction of Xuanping Hou's Mansion, "That Miss Yu San is still in the palm of your hand."
Aunt Xiao knew who Ning hated again.
Ning nodded, waited for Xiangcui to bring another box, and pushed it all to Aunt Xiao without looking at it. These were the things she had dug out from An's hands little by little over the years. There were also those that had not been left after An's death.
Some of the items included in the dowry list belonged to the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion.
Ning was so distressed after saving so many things.
"Madam...after calculating from both sides, we are still a little short of paying back the Xing Mansion and Xuan Ping Hou Mansion." After counting, Aunt Xiao said helplessly with her hands spread out.
"Wait a little longer." The words were almost squeezed out from between Ning's teeth, "The Xingfu's account will not be in the next two days, you can... wait a little longer."
She was about to make a fortune. She and Qian had already discussed this blind date, and it was just in time for Aunt Xiao to come back...
