Chapter 32 Chuntao's Bravery(1/2)

"Xi Qingyan, don't be more frustrated here!"

"You are a daughter who is not married, but you are always talking about dowry. Do you know how to write the word "shame"?"

The wife of Shangshu never expected that Xi Qingyan's first words were targeted at her!

"What does it have to do with my mother's dowry?"

"Madam, my mother told me when she was dying that all her dowry were given to me. Now, I have returned to the Shangshu Mansion alive. Should you return the dowry to me?"

Xi Qingyan refused to let him go.

"Mrs. I have nothing to do with my mother. I'm sorry to return the property under my mother's name."

"master!"

Xi Qingyan pressed her step by step, and the wife of Shangshu was helpless, so she had to ask for help from Shangshu Xi.

"Madam, all I want is my mother's dowry, it has nothing to do with what's around me."

"My father is a man, and it is even more impossible to use my mother's dowry in private. Madam, you don't have to let my father get involved in this matter. He is a man who stands tall and does not participate in the battle in this back home."

Xi Qingyan saw the intention of the Secretary of the House and spoke with a smile.

This sentence excluded Lord Shangshu.

A dowry is a woman's confidence. If a husband uses a woman's dowry, he will be laughed at if he says it.

Lord Shangshu is the most respectful. How could he stand on Shangshu’s side in front of everyone?

"Qingyan is right, ma'am, let's do this as Qingyan said."

"Anyway, those dowries are from Qingyan's mother. Because Qingyan had not grown up before, she has been kept by you for custody. Now, Qingyan has grown up. According to me, you can return the dowry to her."

"There are so many things waiting for us to deal with in the palace, so don't slap here!"

Lord Shangshu Xi was not patient with the matter of Houzhai. In his opinion, the man's pointing should be in the court. If he had been staying in the Houzhai and fighting, what's the difference with a woman?

“…”

The wife of Shangshu couldn't come to Taiwan for a while.

She now saw that Xi Qingyan was deliberately targeting her.

Originally, she thought her husband would say something for her, but she didn't expect that not only did her husband not say a word, he even stood on Xi Qingyan's side!

"Madam, I believe that Madam must be thinking about how to return my mother's dowry. In order not to bother her, I prepared a list of mother's dowry in advance, and handed it to her."

Xi Qingyan saw the face of the Secretary of the House, and she deliberately misinterpreted it.

"Chuntao, what are you doing here? Go to the brocade box at the head of my bed to bring the list of my mother's dowry!"

"yes!"

Chuntao was also happy to see that her lady was no longer wronged.

The eldest lady has been suppressed by her wife and the second lady over the years. Although the master’s original wife once left so many dowry for the lady, her lady is the worst one she has ever lived!

Now, good days have finally come, and they can finally live in Shangshu with their heads held high.

"Name...list? What is that? Qingyan, when did you come back and still have that kind of thing?"

The wife of Shangshu was panicked for a moment.

She originally wanted to pick some of Xi Qingyan's mother's dowry and then told Xi Qingyan that those were all dowry, but she never expected that Xi Qingyan would have her mother's dowry list in her hand.

"Madam, is there anything worth making a fuss about this matter? It is extremely normal for my mother to have a list of dowry left to me. If there is no list, wouldn't I even know whether the things are my mother's?"

"Madam, don't worry, these are my mother's dowry. I know that my wife also brought her dowry when she entered the mansion that day. I will definitely not be greedy for my wife's dowry, just my mother's dowry!"

Xi Qingyan looked at the poor-looking wife of Shangshu and deliberately teased.

"Well, Qingyan, you kid still has some conscience and know not to covet something that does not belong to you."

"Madam, just hand over the dowry belonging to Qingyan's mother to her Handan Garden according to this list. Qingyan, you will contact the master of the Divine Doctor Valley immediately. The future of our Shangshu Mansion depends entirely on you!"

Lord Shangshu stood by and watched, only thinking about his future and official career. Such a husband made Shangshu’s wife grit her teeth in anger!

"Okay, father, I'll contact the Master of the Divine Doctor Valley now."

Xi Qingyan no longer refused. When she was about to leave the Shangshu Mansion, she called her personal maid Chuntao over.

"Father, Chuntao is the eldest maid in my room. I will leave this dowry matter to her."

Xi Qingyan spoke loudly.

"Chuntao, I copied another copy of my mother's dowry list and placed it in the place just now. After a while, the lady will send something over, and you will make a mark on the list. My mother has a lot of dowry. Don't let the lady give her one more copy, and take advantage of her."

Xi Qingyan found that when the Secretary of the House saw her leaving, there was a smug look in his eyebrows and eyes, she deliberately ordered Chuntao loudly.

"For          …Why do you need two rosters?"

The wife of Shangshu was originally planning to make trouble in the roster she had in her hands, but she didn't expect that Xi Qingyan would have backups.

"Xi Qingyan, are you guarding against me as a mother? I have been taking good care of you for so many years, but I didn't expect that I ended up like this in the end!"

The wife of Shangshu looked indignant and aggrieved. She deliberately blurted the focus of this matter and wanted to take advantage of the situation and let it go.

Because Mrs. Shangshu can't bring out so many dowry at all now!

The original wife of Shangshu was a woman from a wealthy family, so she had a generous dowry, but the wife of Shangshu, whom she married, did not have such a wealthy family at all.

So when she married into the Shangshu Mansion, her dowry was very pitifully less than Xi Qingyan's mother's dowry.

In recent years, in order to make the servants in the mansion look down on her, the wife of the renewed marriage, she took Xi Qingyan's mother's dowry as a favor. She increased the servant's wages and increased their treatment.

The wife of Shangshu consolidated her position in Shangshu's Mansion with Xi Qingyan's mother's dowry.

But the Shangshu Mansion is a bottomless pit.

No matter how much dowry Xi Qingyan's mother had, there would always be a day when she used up. Seeing that the rare treasures on the list were sold by her, she felt even more anxious.

She couldn't take out her dowry and could not block Xi Qingyan's mouth.

For the sake of her current plan, she could only push all the mistakes on Xi Qingyan, and then let Xi Qingyan stop mentioning the return of the dowry.

"Madam, my mother left early, and all the things she left for me were with her. I only have the dowry list."

"Although my mother left early, she couldn't help but miss her. When I thought about her, I took out the list and copied it."

"After so many years, I have been able to memorize the items on the list. If my wife doesn't believe it, she can go to my study to see where there is a dowry list I copied!"

Use your own spear to attack your own shield.

Since the wife of Shangshu blows the wind beside her in front of her father and deliberately frames her, then don’t blame her for playing the family affection card and fight back.

No matter what today, Xi Qingyan will not let her succeed.

"Madam, you also have a daughter. You should know that my longing for my mother is!"

"you……!!"

The wife of Shangshu was so angry that she couldn't speak.

"Miss, Chuntao, thank you for your reuse. Please rest assured. I will do my best to do my duty and verify the items on this list one by one!"

Chuntao chose to follow Xi Qingyan at the critical moment.

Their young lady is already brave enough and has set the best example for her. If she still hides behind the young lady, she will always be bullied!

"Chuntao, you...!!"

The wife of Shangshu didn't expect that in the Handan Garden, not only Xi Qingyan had a rebellious bone, but now even Chuntao, the servant, has a rebellious bone!

"Madam, go find my mother's dowry, and I go find the master of the divine doctor's valley."

"I hope neither my wife nor my father will let my father down!"

Before leaving, Xi Qingyan deliberately reminded the Secretary of the House.

This is in the ears of Mrs. Shangshu, and it is no different from threatening her! But now she can't completely break up with Xi Qingyan!

"Chuntao, wait for me to come back."

Xi Qingyan deliberately asked for a mouthful of spring peach in front of Lord Shangshu before leaving.

The Secretary Xi also understood Xi Qingyan’s meaning, so he announced in front of everyone.

"Chuntao, you will be the first-class maid of my Shangshu Mansion in the future. You need to restrain Qingyan for these slaves of all sizes in the Handan Garden."

"Today's dowry list is a test of your ability, you can do it well!"

"From the future, you just need to listen to the instructions of the eldest lady alone."

Lord Xi, the Secretary of the Shang Dynasty spoke like this, and the Secretary of the Shang Dynasty knew that she could not punish Chuntao in public.

"Yes, Chuntao thanks Master."

After Lord Xi gave his daughter a reassurance, he followed Xi Qingyan, who had not yet walked away, and left the Shangshu Mansion.

Xi Qingyan also heard what Mr. Xi said just now.

"Thank you, my father."

No matter what purpose Mr. Xi is fortunately, Xi Qingyan's purpose has been achieved.
