"Dead?" The old Marquis was stunned at first, not expecting this kind of answer.
Immediately, he became suspicious: "How did you die?"
"He is a doctor. When Beibei was about to be born, he went up the mountain to collect medicine and accidentally slipped off the cliff. When he found it, he had..." Xiao Lingyue made it up casually, with a look of sadness on his face.
Everyone couldn't help but think, this third lady's fate is really bad!
It's not easy to get married when you look like this, but you're still young and widowed...
"Is your husband really dead?" Shen Yuting asked excitedly.
"Um."
"It's so pitiful that you fell to death!" Shen Yuting said gloatingly: "At the beginning, my father said that you had bad horoscopes and that you were a master of your father and a master of your mother. Unexpectedly, you were also a master of your husband! Your husband died less than a year after we got married. From now on, you will
But how can we survive!"
"Isn't it time to take the child back to her parents' house?" Xiao Lingyue said calmly.
Shen Yuting opened her mouth to retort: "How can a married woman..." be a widow and return to her parents' home?
Xiao Lingyue interrupted her: "The Hou Mansion is so rich and noble. Second sister, you, a concubine, can embroider paintings with gold thread. After all, I am the legitimate daughter of the manor. I don't even have a place to stay, right?"
Shen Yuting was choked.
"By the way, I heard that when my mother married into the Hou Mansion, she received quite a lot of dowry! Now that I am married, should the Hou Mansion return my mother's dowry to me? I still have a list here."
Xiao Lingyue continued to say that she was going to show off the list.
Shen Yuting's face changed drastically and she hurriedly stepped back: "What dowry? I don't know!"
In fact, she knew.
Shen Wan's short-lived mother did leave a lot of dowry behind.
There are gold and silver coins, jewelry, shops and farms, which are enough for people to have enough food and clothing.
But over the years, Aunt Hua had long regarded this property as her own, secretly used most of it, and left the rest for Shen Yuting's dowry, leaving not a single coin to "Shen Wan".
"According to the custom of the Northern Qin State, the dowry from the biological mother is left to her daughter. Although my mother was not from a famous family, my grandfather's family was considered wealthy, and they had a lot of dowry, right?"
Xiao Lingyue said quietly: "I have been poor in the countryside for so many years, and the Hou Mansion has not even given me a tael of silver. Now that I am back, my mother's things should be given to me, right?"
"Why are you talking to me? I don't know what your mother left behind." Shen Yuting retorted guiltily.
The old Marquis was also very dissatisfied and reprimanded: "Don't you even look at what kind of occasion this is? All you talk about is dowry and money. Do you have any identity as a young lady from the Hou Mansion? You are as vulgar as a village woman!"
Xiao Lingyue said sarcastically: "I have only been a young lady from the Hou Mansion for three years, but I have been a country woman for more than ten years. Since my grandfather thought I was vulgar, why didn't he take me back earlier? He left me alone in the countryside.
Don’t ask?”
"Are you blaming me?" The old Marquis became angry.
"Don't dare!" Xiao Lingyuepi smiled, "Since my grandfather said that I am vulgar, you must not be vulgar! How about you return my mother's dowry to me now?"
Old Marquis: "..."
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Shen Yuting immediately interrupted: "Third sister, today is my grandfather's birthday, and so many guests are here! It's not appropriate to say this. Let's talk about it later. It's more important to celebrate my grandfather's birthday!"
The old marquis looked slightly relieved.
Xiao Lingyue said quietly: "What's inappropriate? You also know that the Hou family has too many scandals, so it would be embarrassing to talk about it?"
Shen Yuting: "..."
The old Marquis was so angry at her words that he raised his hand and hit her: "You rebellious girl!"
"Don't hit my mother!"
Hanhan and Beibei, who had been standing obediently beside Xiao Lingyue, stood up at the same time and opened their hands to block her.
"My mother just told the truth, but you actually want to beat her. Aren't you angry and guilty?" Beibei looked directly at the old Marquis with his dark eyes.
"A gentleman talks but doesn't do anything. You, an old man, can't bully my mother!" Han Han pointed at the old Marquis and shouted angrily.
The prince and everyone: "..."
Zhan Beihan secretly grinded his teeth and clenched his fists. Popular "" This chapter has been completed!
