How shameless does one have to be to say such shameless words?
Seeing that they were entangled endlessly, Yuan Yixiao lost her patience and was about to ask her servants to beat them out with sticks when a clear and beautiful voice sounded.
"Since you, the Earl of Pingchang, are all a bunch of dim-witted and forgetful people, I will reluctantly help you recall that in order to sever ties with the Yuan family, you dug up my mother's coffin and made a fuss in Jingzhao Mansion.
And in the Jingzhao Mansion, he made it clear that he would never have anything to do with my mother from now on, and that he would sever the parental relationship with me, and that whether I, Yan Mingzhu, would live or die, I would have nothing to do with your Pyeongchang Earl's Mansion."
Seeing Yan Mingzhu come out, Yuan Yixiao hurried over and held her arm, "Cousin, why are you coming out? Don't worry, let me and my second brother take care of it. You go help mother and the others, it's just a few chores.
There is no need for you to take action yourself, cousin!"
Before Yan Mingzhu opened her mouth, she saw Ping Changbo suddenly cover his chest and look very uncomfortable.
"Oh, I am an old man, I have worked hard to raise my daughter, and now my daughter no longer recognizes me as her father. What a sin have I done!"
Yan Qinglian immediately stepped forward, supported Pingchang Bo, and sang with him: "Third sister, even though my father did some wrong things before, but after all, blood is thicker than water, not to mention that my father worked hard to raise you.
How can this nurturing grace, which is as heavy as a mountain, be cut off with just one sentence?"
This question, which sounded like tears, made Yan Mingzhu laugh.
"Since you insist on choosing today to treat me as a kind of upbringing, then I don't have to show any mercy. There happen to be many guests here, so I can ask everyone to follow the theory together. You deceived me at the beginning.
My mother married you,
He kept saying that he would protect his mother like a jade, but within two days of my mother's death, he brought into the house the outside wife who had been raised outside all morning. The outside wife and her daughter were even older than me, my legitimate daughter.
, is this what you call keeping one’s body as pure as jade?”
Ping Changbo's face was a little embarrassed, "This... I was also drunk and having sex at the time, and I accidentally made a mistake that all men make!"
"Oh, if it is as you said, having sex after drinking, then it is outrageous to say that it is only a once-in-a-lifetime affair. But you have a daughter-in-law, who was raised outside and is fair and tender, how can you call it just a moment of confusion? What's more,
Yan Qinglian is only one year older than me,
This means that after my mother passed away, you still persisted in your behavior and carried my mother on your back to hang out with the foreign wife. Poor my mother’s body was still cold, so you couldn’t wait to take the foreign wife back. How scary is this?
Will no one inherit the family business after my death?"
When the onlookers heard this, they all pointed at Pingchang Bo.
And this guy, not only has no repentance and conscience, but is still quibbling: "Although I have made mistakes, did I treat your mother badly when she was alive? I really love your mother, and I have no choice but to raise an extramarital wife.
of,
As the only son of the Earl's Palace, how could I let my life be ruined in my hands? Your mother was never able to give birth to a son, and in the end she only had you, but I never blamed her. How many men in this world can
Do you think about your wife as much as I do?"
This is really better said than sung. The fault is all the woman’s, and the men’s affair is all for the sake of incense. It’s really ridiculous and disgusting!
"Really love my mother? Oh, you are afraid that if things don't go as planned as my mother wants, if she returns to her parents' home and takes away her dowry, the Earl of Pingchang's palace will be unable to make ends meet. If my mother is not the legitimate daughter of the Yuan family, if she goes down
If you didn’t bring such a large dowry when you got married, how could you endure it until after she passed away before you brought her in?"
Yan Mingzhu's few words exposed the ugly skin. Ping Changbo's eyes avoided, but he still said harshly: "You...you are talking nonsense. As the head of the Earl's Palace, I will covet my wife's dowry?"
"Oh, so I have misunderstood. You are a tough man and you will never do the despicable thing of taking the dowry of your legitimate wife?"
Ping Changbo nodded without hesitation, "This is natural!"
Yan Mingzhu curled her lips and stretched out a jade hand, "In that case, please return my mother's dowry to me. I am not greedy for more. I will deduct the expenses I spent at the Earl's Mansion before I got married and give you a favor.
Please give me half of the price."
When it came to paying back the money, Ping Changbo's face froze instantly. He looked around and said, "This...I'm here to congratulate you today. How can I carry so much gold and silver jewelry with me? Why don't we wait a few days to talk about it."
, it is most important to finish the banquet today..."
"What's so difficult about this? It's all within the imperial capital anyway. It's just a few blocks away. I can send people to follow you to the Earl's Mansion to count the dowry left by my third aunt. Our Yuan family
As long as you are a man, you can still afford this banquet."
Uncle Pingchang can still laugh. The Earl's Mansion has not produced a capable person for several generations. The family's wealth has long been emptied, leaving only a frame.
If he hadn't gone to great lengths to marry the legitimate daughter of Marquis Yongyi and received the Yuan family's dowry, the Earl's Mansion would have been in ruins long ago.
In these years, he has been living on the Yuan family's dowry, and he has spent almost all of it. Now if he is asked to come up with it, let alone half, even a tenth, he can't come up with it!
Yan Qinglian naturally knew the true situation of the Earl's Mansion, so she deliberately said: "Miss Yuan San, what you mean by this is that if our Earl's Mansion returns half of the dowry, you can forget the past and recognize us as your in-laws, right?"
Yuan Yixiao didn't want to pay attention to this family at all, even looking at them felt dirty.
But before she opened her mouth, Yan Mingzhu continued: "Of course, as Mrs. Deng said just now, the bones and blood are still connected together after they are broken. If you can keep your word, I can naturally forget the blame. I
no sooner said than done."
The reason why Yan Mingzhu said this was because she knew very well what the family of the Earl of Pingchang was like.
They have been living off the Yuan family's dowry for these years, and how can they get an extra penny? What's more, a concubine of the Deng family, who is from a humble background, has no support from her mother's family.
In this way, asking them to take out so much gold, silver and jewelry immediately would be considered as selling them at a low price, and they would not be able to collect them all.
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice rang out: "You can bear witness to the truth, pay the money with one hand, and recognize your relatives with the other, and you won't suffer any loss on either end."
Hearing the sound and looking over, he saw Mingtai getting off the carriage, followed closely by Mrs. Ming and the children of the Ming family.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Mingtai finished speaking, another voice said: "Wouldn't it be more fair to add one more witness to this palace?"
