Chapter 409
Fifth Master Ling’s face sank, his gaze sweeping over like a blade: ”A woman’s opinion!
What do you know!
What loss of gold and silver
For A Shu to marry the Empress’s brother, it’s a very honorable thing to do
It’s only right that our Ling family prepares more dowries”As for the rescue, Wei Yan said he would do his best
Whether we succeed or fail, we have to accept this favor”Don’t talk nonsense in the future, otherwise, I won’t spare you!”
Li was angrily rebuked and could no longer squeeze a smile out of her face, instantly reddening her eyes, she choked and sobbed, “Concubine was merely speaking out of concern, and couldn’t help herself for a moment, so she spoke out the worries in her heart
If you are not right, you can just criticize me a few times
To scold the concubine in this manner is not taking her as a wife at all”Concubine knows that Master is annoyed because of what happened a few days ago
I’ve never treated A-shu and A-xiao harshly
It’s just that both of their siblings are holding a grudge against my concubine, and now even Master thinks the same way
Concubine really can’t live ” she said while wiping her tears with a handkerchief, looking aggrieved and pitiful
In the past, as long as she sobbed like this, Master Ling Fifth would immediately soften his heart
Today, Ling Fifth Master instead frowned and said unhappily, “Do you think I’m a child of a few years old who hasn’t grown a brain and allows you to fool around?
If you really did your best, wouldn’t A-shu A-Xiao be centrifuged with you
A Shu even insisted on letting A Xiao live with her, and even took over the marriage, just not wanting you to interfere”You don’t reflect on yourself, but also climbed onto their siblings, thanks to you having this face!”
Li: ” “Li never expected this kind of reaction from Master Ling Fifth, she was shocked and angry: “Master, how can you say that!
What exactly did my concubine do wrong?”
Mr Ling coldly asked, “Was Auntie Xia really responsible for A Xiao’s blindness that day?
You had nothing to do with it?”
Li was caught off guard, her face changed abruptly, her heart panicked, and she subconsciously denied, “Of course not!
I dare to swear to the heavens that I have never done anything to wrong A Xiao
Master must believe concubine, concubine is innocent”
If I were really innocent, I would have cried and cried in a wronged and aggrieved manner
Thinking of the words that Old Madam Ling had said to him in private, Fifth Master Ling’s heart sank
Old Fifth, you can’t afford to be confused anymore
Right now, of our Ling family’s offspring, the most promising one is A Shu
A Xiao has been smart since he was young, and now that he has been cured of his eye disease, with A Shu worrying about him, he will not be short of good prospects in the future
You can not for a Li, let their siblings cold heart ” Ling fifth master fixedly looked at Li for a moment, straight to see Li’s heart cold: “This matter has been over so many years, Aunt Xia also died, can not be verified
A Shu also said that she has no evidence, just a suspicion
However, she refused to let you meddle in A Xiao’s affairs no matter what, mother promised her, and I also promised”She is A Xiao’s twin sister, and she loves him like jewelry, so she won’t screw him over
In the future, A Xiao’s future and marriage affairs will be handled by her, and there’s nothing I don’t feel confident about
You don’t have to intervene”
These words were undoubtedly poking a knife into Li’s fragile wound
Li’s face turned white and her body shook, “Master, you don’t believe in concubine either?”You have given birth to Ah Yan, and have taken care of the inner house for so many years, you have done hard work without merit
I won’t repudiate you, just rest assured”
Ling Fifth Master indifferently said, “However, from today onwards, you also put clear understanding
The things that you should ask you control, should not you control things, you do not say a word
Otherwise, is to seek embarrassment
No wonder I’m heartless!”
After saying this, he whisked his sleeve away
Leaving behind a disoriented Li, fell all over the house, cried bitterly
After Wei Yan’s promise to “do his best”, Old Mrs Ling’s heart was temporarily at ease
While personally preparing Ling Jingshu’s dowry, she waited for the good news
Before coming to the capital, Old Mrs Ling had made some preparations
In addition to the real estate stores and farms that could not be sold, she had brought all the available silver to the capital, totaling about 200,000 taels
Originally, she prepared 50,000 taels for Ling Jingshu’s dowry, and the other 150,000 taels were used to save her life
Now a heartless, only left 50,000 taels, the rest of the 150,000 taels are used to buy a dowry
It is too late to make furniture, so I spent a lot of money to buy a set of very precious sandalwood furniture
The rest of the things, also spared no money, buy are the best
Gold, silver and jade, silk and satin, precious herbs and tonic, everything
In order to show her goodwill to Ling Jingshu, Old Madam Ling asked someone to call Ling Jingshu to her body, and gave the dowry list to Ling Jingshu
Ling Jingshu smiled and did not excuse herself, taking the list and flipping through it slowly
Old Mrs Ling endured her heartache and said with a smile, “Take a close look, and if there’s anything else that’s really missing, just let me know
I’ll have someone organize it again”
Ling Jingshu looked at Old Mrs Ling’s hypocritical smile and secretly laughed in her heart
This time, Old Mrs Ling was bleeding hard
Don’t look at the smile so kind and warm, but her heart might be dripping with pain!Grandmother has always been thorough in her work, how could there be an oversight”
Ling Jingshu pursed her lips and smiled
Old Mrs Ling’s heart was relieved, and she was about to speak, when she heard Ling Jingshu whisper in a somewhat difficult voice, “The dowry list is full of good things, and with the Queen Mother’s rewards, there is no problem in putting together a dowry of forty-eight carriers
However, my granddaughter does not have any cash in her hands
When she marries into her husband’s family, she will be so shy that I’m afraid she won’t even have the silver to reward her subordinates!”
Old Mrs Ling: ” “Old Mrs Ling had the heart to spit out blood
This Ling Jingshu, cutting the flesh is not enough, this is even peeling off a layer of skin before she is doneAm I asking too much?”
Ling Jingshu looked innocent and guilty: “If grandmother thinks it’s wrong, just pretend I didn’t say it”
Old Mrs Ling finally slowed down and stiffly squeezed out a smile, “It’s Grandmother’s fault for not thinking well
Don’t worry about it, when the time comes, grandmother will privately give you another twenty thousand dollars in silver checks
When a woman marries into her husband’s family, she really needs to have some cash in her hands for convenience”
Ling Jingshu was pleasantly surprised and thanked her, “Grandmother is so generous, my granddaughter deserves it”
Old Madam Ling let out a deep breath and said lovingly, “This is what Grandmother gave you, you just take it
What is there to be ashamed of
Gold and silver are such mundane things that you can’t bring with you in life or in death
I’m a seventy year old woman, the private property in my hand is not given to you, do you want to bring it to the coffin?”Grandmother only hopes that you marry well and live well in the future”
Even Ling Jingshu had to admire Old Madam Ling
In order to save Ling’s life, Old Mrs Ling had simply endured the humiliation and swallowed any pent-up anger
