Chapter 270 – Dowry

When Zhao Su left the palace gates and crossed onto the street, in a carriage parked on the side of the street, Mrs. Luo’s face was peeking out from behind the raised curtain. It wasn’t until the two of them blended into the sea of people and could no longer be seen that she withdrew her gaze.

“It’s rare, Miss Zhao has become the Queen-to-be, but she’s still acting as usual.” Luo Tingru, who was sitting on the soft couch in the same row, said, “In the past, I’ve seen women who married into a three or four governmental households who were too godly to do so.”

Mrs. Luo lowered the curtain and looked at her, “There are so many voices of opposition in the court, even if she doesn’t restrain herself, Marquis Qingyun will have to force her to restrain herself. –Pity.”

Luo Tingru looked like she understood her “pity” and pouted: “But I don’t want to marry the Emperor either, he doesn’t even have a smile, he’s cold and icy, it’s definitely boring to be together.”

Mrs. Luo looked sad and said, “You let the maid accompany you to the opposite store, I’ll go to the front to do some errands and come back to pick you up.”

Luo Tingru obediently got off the carriage.

Mrs. Luo watched her enter the store, then instructed the horseman, “Go to the You family.”

Hearing this, the horseman looked back at her before nodding his head in agreement.

The You family was Mrs. Luo’s maiden family, only the family lineage was not as illustrious as the Luo family. When the He family was still in the capital, Mrs. Luo married the son of Elder Master Luo, and her mother’s family had normal dealings. But this time back, Mrs. Luo has not even once went back – at least this group of car drivers did not see there. It is said that the old lady also reminded her, but she said that for the time being is still busy, wait for busy Luo Rui’s marriage again. The strange thing is, the tour family knows that this aunt wife returned to the capital, but also did not come to the door as a guest.

Horseman as promised to drive the car to the door of the tour family, Mrs. Luo first lifted the curtain to look at, and then sent Yin Yin off.

Yinhe went to knock on the door, a moment the door opened, the concierge came out.

Mrs. Luo stared: “Where is your master?”

The concierge smiled and bowed his head: “So it’s Mrs. Auntie, I haven’t seen you for many years, are you still well? The master is still at the court, not back.”

“Really?” Mrs. Luo smiled coldly, “I just came from the government office, I didn’t hear that he is still there.”

The concierge’s face stiffened slightly, then pulled the corners of his mouth, “Then perhaps he was delayed by something else.”

Mrs. Luo pushed the door and got out of the car, glanced at him, then walked straight towards the corner door.

“Mrs. Auntie!”

The concierge chased after her, but was blocked by Yin Yin’s cross-eyed glare, “What, Mistress returning to her home, you dare to stop and not allow it?”

The concierge was stared at and had nothing to say, but could only catch up and lead the way to inform.

You family three courtyard, originally is the middle three, these years looks and expanded, the east and west two compartments opened another door, the door and wall is quite new and clean, it is obvious that it is the construction of the two sides of the cross courtyard.

Mrs. Luo only swept her eyes under the door, and then stride towards the direction of the main courtyard.

The concierge legs also fast, so a moment of work, has notified the inner house, soon a middle-aged woman hurriedly stepped out, saw Mrs. Luo face tightened, but also still greeted: “Big sister how did not say a sound on the return? At least let us go to the door to welcome a welcome.”

Mrs. Luo said, “I don’t dare to make a sound, I sent so many letters, but you guys didn’t pay attention to me, right? –Where is Mr. You from An? Where is he?”

Mrs. You said, “In the end, Big Sister and Congan are siblings, why are they calling each other by name?”

“Now you know that you’re blood siblings with me?” Mrs. Luo laughed coldly, then lifted her step forward and crossed into the courtyard regardless, the maids all came to stop, but Mrs. Luo saw a man behind the flowers in the courtyard through them, then without saying a word, she glared the maids away, and then rushed in with big strides, “It’s useless for you to hide! Since I’ve come to you, I’ll find you even if I have to dig three feet into the ground!”

When it was too late, she rushed in front of the man and glared at him through gritted teeth: “You have misused my silver, so you used it to expand the courtyard? You live comfortably, bully us orphans and widows! I was blind to believe that my mother’s family could be relied upon! Now that your brother-in-law is gone, you don’t help me, but you’ve taken my money! Aren’t you afraid of being struck by the thunderbolt of heaven?”

After being scolded by the flowers, You Congan swept his eyes over the onlookers and gritted his teeth, “Didn’t I say I couldn’t get the money back? I’ve been robbed too! The money was robbed! What’s the use of looking for me? I can’t get the money even if I demolish this mansion! I didn’t build this mansion with your money either!”

“Do you think I’ll believe your bullshit?” Mrs. Luo gritted her teeth, “In this peaceful world, in the capital city, there are still people robbing money? I’m telling you, you have to have a conscience, I’ve suffered a lot in the Luo family all these years, and you haven’t helped me fight for a breath of air, now Ruiguo’er and his siblings are discussing their marriage, it’s the time for me to give them a dowry, if you keep playing tricks on me, I’ll fight you to the death!”

You Congan slapped his thigh: “My big sister! What can I say to make you understand? The money really didn’t fall into my hands, if you say there are no robbers in the capital, then how did the dart ship of the Wei Yuan Marquis get robbed? Even the Wei Yuan Marquis’ things were robbed, why can’t our 100,000 taels of silver be robbed?”

Mrs. Luo’s face was green and cold, forced to him: “Even if it was robbed, it was your mistake, my 50,000 taels, you have to pay me back!”

“How can I have that much money?” You Congan straightened his lapel and put up his hands, “As you can see, I can’t even afford to build a new mansion, I can only expand two rooms on this foundation. If I could afford 50,000 taels, wouldn’t I have moved already? That’s right, the silver is gone from my hands, and I also feel very sorry for you, but there’s nothing I can do to help!”

“You bastard!”

Mrs. Luo was so angry that she cursed angrily and raised her hand to hit someone. Yin Yin’s quick eyes and hands stopped her, this side of Mrs. You and the maids all surged up, “Big sister can be more reasonable, we have explained it, why do you not listen to what you say? You rushed us, is it possible that you don’t want the support of your mother’s family?”

Yin Yin said: “Auntie, please don’t talk too much, the thin camel is bigger than a horse, although our master is gone, but at least there is still the young master, Mrs. only came here, just don’t want to make a big deal. The two of you have this attitude, are you really not afraid that the Luo family will come to your door?”

Yin Yin as Mrs. Luo’s side of the big maid, always serious, You Congan couple in her words actually also fear, no longer talk more.

“Miss Ting must have pretty much picked it out, ma’am, let’s go first as well.”

Yinhe turned to Mrs. Luo, holding onto her eyes that were glaring red.

Mrs. Luo gritted her teeth and said, “You guys are just bullying me for being weak, but don’t look down on me, that fifty thousand taels of silver is my dowry, it doesn’t have a single penny to do with you, so don’t even think about embezzling a single penny from me!”

After saying that she turned around, striding towards the door!
