Chapter 112 Painfully Paying the Dowry Silver [Please read the author's chapter! ]
As soon as Su Qingwan and Jiang left Tinglan Courtyard, Liu could no longer control herself and started cursing.
Su Zhiyi looked at his wife with great disdain.
"How disgraceful! I don't want to argue with you."
He waved his sleeves and walked outside.
"Where are you going at this time?" Liu asked immediately when she saw him about to leave.
"I'm going to go see Jiao Niang. She said she felt nauseous and wanted to vomit this morning. I wonder if she's feeling better now."
As Su Zhiyi was talking, he had already walked out the door.
"You still want to go see her? If that slut hadn't come into the house, my daughter would have been bullied by her husband's family? It's all her fault!"
Liu followed to the door and cursed.
Su Zhiyi was very unhappy when he heard this. It was clear that Liu was scolding him. He snorted, too lazy to argue with her, and left quickly.
Liu was so angry that she kept cursing.
"Mom, don't be angry. You might end up hurting yourself."
Su Yunrou walked in at this moment.
When her eldest sister's maid came back earlier, she was also in Tinglan Courtyard chatting with her mother, so she naturally knew about her eldest sister's affairs.
"Tell me, how can I not be angry? There is nothing in this house that is worry-free. The people from the third room have been causing all kinds of trouble since they came back, and they spend a lot of money like water."
"Where's your father? He was bewitched by a demon outside and actually used the farm to exchange for someone else. What do you think he was thinking? It really pissed me off!"
Liu was so angry that her heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys ached. Especially when she thought that she still had to pay out another 12,000 taels of silver, she wished she could burn all the people in the third room to death.
Su Yunrou felt uncomfortable listening to her mother's scolding.
Before Su Qingwan came back, she had a very good reputation in the capital.
Everyone said that she was a beautiful and intelligent lady, and was a perfect match for Prince Rui.
But now?
People in the capital city either said that he had bad intentions and wanted to steal their sister's fiancé.
Or they would say that she was willing to lower herself to be the concubine of King Rui.
And now it is rumored that there is a secret relationship between Prince Rui and her!
Upon hearing this rumor, Su Yunrou was so angry that she smashed several things again. She wished she could tear that little bitch Su Qingwan to pieces!
"Mother, at least Zhuangzi is back now, but he owes King Qi a favor." Su Yunrou said.
Although she said so, she never thought of returning the money for redeeming Zhuangzi to the King of Qi.
Liu would never think about this.
In her opinion, it was natural for the King of Qi to spend money to make Yun Rou happy, since the King of Qi also loved her daughter.
"Prince Qi is also good, but compared to Prince Rui, he does not have a powerful maternal family. Otherwise, according to the love that Prince Qi has for you, he would definitely make you his princess."
After hearing what Su Yunrou said, Liu felt much better.
The Song family can only let Yingxue suffer some grievances now. After Yunrou marries into the royal family, let's see if the Song family dares to bully their daughter again.
As for those people from the third room, she would definitely kill them all when the time comes, especially Su Qingwan, who should be skinned alive.
Su Yunrou did not respond. The person she loved was Prince Rui, and she only wanted to marry him.
"Mother, have my fourth sister and the others agreed to help?"
Liu pursed her lips. She had spent 12,000 taels of silver, so how could the money-hungry mother and daughter not agree?
"They have already agreed. Don't worry. Just sit here while Mom goes to get something."
After Liu finished speaking, she went to the inner room, but came out soon.
"Madam Zhou, take this to Helin Courtyard." Liu handed the box containing the banknotes to Zhou.
"Yes!"
Nanny Zhou took the things and went out.
Su Yunrou asked curiously: "What is that?"
"It's 10,000 taels of silver. Su Qingwan said she wanted to buy some things for Helinyuan. If she didn't, her father would be disappointed. I only used the money for your elder sister."
Liu was originally born out of wedlock, but she married into a marquisate and became the mistress of the household, in charge of the household affairs. To outsiders, she seemed extremely glorious.
Maybe it was like this before, but since that merchant slave of Jiang's came up three years ago without paying, everything has changed...
Now she is forced to use her own dowry and the money she embezzled to support the group of beggars in the third room...
When Liu thought about it, she felt uncomfortable all over and didn't want to talk to Su Yunrou anymore.
"Mother, you are tired. Go and have a rest." Su Yunrou helped Liu lie down on the couch to rest.
But she felt extremely unhappy.
Su Qingwan is really capable. She actually forced her mother to use the money from her dowry. She doesn't even know if her own dowry money is included in the money.
No!
Su Qingwan cannot be allowed to take the money. She has to find a way to make Su Qingwan return the money.
……
In Helin Courtyard, Su Qingwan received the silver notes brought by Nanny Zhou, a total of ten, each worth one thousand taels.
After Nanny Zhou left, Aunt Rong rubbed her hands with excitement.
"That's more reasonable. How can we let Helinyuan be without a decent thing?"
"Aunt Rong, you and Da Nian should go to West City and buy some furniture." Su Qingwan said with a smile.
"Okay! I'll go right away." Aunt Rong took the silver bill and went out with Da Nian.
In fact, there are several shops in Xicheng that belong to the Jiang family, including a furniture shop.
This matter was equivalent to transferring money from left hand to right hand, and Liu's money eventually went into his own pocket.
In the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly. Su Qingwan sat on the small couch by the window, enjoying the warmth brought by the sun.
"Sister, what are you doing?" Su Yuewu came to find Su Qingwan, and saw his sister sitting lazily before he entered the door.
"Brother Wu is here, come and sit down."
In the past two days, Su Yuewu went to the palace to play.
When she went to the palace yesterday, she only knew that he had gone out of the city with Brother Ba Wang, and she didn't know what he was busy with outside.
After Su Yuewu came in, he observed her sister's expression in a way he thought was inconspicuous, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't see any displeasure on her face.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Did you hear some rumors outside?" Su Qingwan asked with a smile.
"Sister, did you encounter anything after entering the palace yesterday?"
Su Yuewu did not answer Su Qingwan's question, but asked about what happened in the palace yesterday.
"Nothing much. I just met with Concubine Shu. Later, when I was walking in the Imperial Garden, I met Prince Rui. Prince Rui was thinking about Su Yunrou, so I threw him into the lake."
As soon as Su Qingwan said this, Su Yuewu opened his mouth in surprise.
"Well, there are rumors out there that King Rui jumped down by himself? He said he wanted to catch a turtle and give it to Su Yunrou."
Su Yuewu thought that the rumors outside were true, but he didn't expect that Prince Rui was actually beaten into the lake by his sister.
That's the prince! What is her sister going to do?
"Are you scared?" Su Qingwan asked directly when she saw her brother's frozen expression.
She has an irreconcilable relationship with Prince Rui, Su Yunrou and others. In the past, she was only concerned with improving herself and her family's strength, but never told them the reason. Now it is time to slowly let them know the reason.
Su Yuewu immediately shook his head.
"Don't be afraid! I've already told you that Prince Rui is obsessed with Su Yunrou. You didn't kill him, so he got it easy."
Her sister was such a good person, but King Rui didn't know how to cherish her. She deserved to fall into the lake and live with turtles.
Su Qingwan laughed. Her brother was much braver than she thought.
"Brother Wu, maybe in the next two days, someone in the capital will spread the rumor that 'I am lucky enough to defeat King Rui'. After hearing this, you should arrest those who spread the rumor and send them to the Jingzhao Yinfu."
