"Ah! Stop! You bitch!!!"
Sheng Xia Ming lost the opportunity and could only be suppressed and beaten, and then roared incompetently.
Shengxia Cicada really got angry, settling old and new grudges together, ignoring the opponent's random waving hands, grabbing the opponent's neck with both hands, tightening it little by little, and said:
"You mother and daughter want to take everything from me. I've endured it enough. I'm going to die without you! You go to hell with me!"
Sheng Xia Ming felt suffocated. Looking at the somewhat crazy Sheng Xia Cicada, she was really scared, and then she fainted as her eyes rolled back.
Sheng Xia Ming's maid was so frightened that her legs and legs were weak. She turned around and was about to go out to call someone, but was stopped by Zhu Yu's caller who came back. She must not let these maids go out and talk nonsense.
When the maids on both sides were entangled, Midsummer Cicada let go and stood up, and then said in a cold voice:
"What are you arguing about? If you can't die, take your young lady back. If you dare to come to my place to make trouble again, next time I will burn down the Peony Garden!!!"
Sheng Xia Cicada's threat was very effective, and the four maids carried Sheng Xia Ming out of her boudoir with all their might.
Cornel then stepped forward and said:
"Miss, all the things you asked me to do are done."
"That's good, you can rest. There will be a tough battle to fight later."
Cornus officinalis said worriedly:
"Miss, although you are relieved by making such a fuss, it is not good for your reputation."
"It doesn't matter, I'm going to be forced to death, why do I care about my reputation?"
After finishing speaking, he said to Qingping:
"You prepare water, I want to take a bath."
"Yes, Miss."
Huang Ying came in with a bowl of ginger soup. She looked at the room full of people in surprise for a moment, then stepped forward and said:
"Miss, drink the ginger soup first. You just fell into the water, so don't catch the cold."
Midsummer Cicada nodded, took the ginger soup and drank it in one gulp, then went to take a bath and change clothes.
After Sheng Xia Chan had finished taking care of herself, the nun who was in charge of her grandmother came to send her a reply.
Midsummer Cicada gave herself a sickly make-up and didn't wear any jewelry. With the support of Cornelius and Qingping, she walked to Yongshou Hall step by step.
Marquis Yongxin's mother had already learned what had happened from her servants. She called Marquis Yongxin and his wife to scold them and sent them away before letting Shengxia Chan come to see her.
Shengxia Chan knew that this grandmother didn't have much affection for her. After all, after her mother married into the Hou family, her grandmother had to hand over the housekeeping rights, so this grandmother was also dissatisfied with her mother, otherwise she wouldn't have died a year after her daughter-in-law passed away. Let his son remarry.
If the grandmother really loved her granddaughter, she would definitely not let her granddaughter who had just drowned in the lake walk to see her. She would have ordered someone to carry her over anyway. This was to give her a blow. But she did not care about this at all. She only Want to take away what belongs to you.
When Midsummer Cicada entered Fu'an Hall, she cried and said:
"Grandma, you have to make the decision for your granddaughter!"
Madam Lao Hou frowned, but comforted her:
"Chan'er, what are you doing? How could you do such a rash thing? You are trying to break my grandmother's heart!"
The corners of Shengxia Cicada's mouth trembled, then she threw herself into the arms of Mrs. Hou, crying and saying:
"Grandma, madam, she even wants to rob me of my marriage."
After hearing Sheng Xia Chan's explanation of the cause and effect, Mrs. Hou sighed and said, "Chan'er, your father had no choice but to do this. He did it for the good of the Hou family. Don't blame him."
Midsummer Cicada just came out of her grandmother's arms, then lowered her head and said nothing.
Mrs. Lao Hou continued:
"Chan'er, grandma knows that you have been wronged. As long as you ask for any compensation you want, grandma will make the decision for you."
Midsummer Cicada knew that it was time to negotiate terms, so she raised her head and said with tears in her eyes:
"Grandma, you are the only one who still thinks about Chan'er. With your support, Chan'er will feel more confident."
She paused for a moment and then continued:
"Grandma, the granddaughter knows that once the father has made a decision, he will not change it, let alone for the future of the Hou Mansion. The granddaughter will not hinder the Hou Mansion. However, since the granddaughter's marriage is exchanged for benefits, the granddaughter dares to propose Two conditions, I hope grandma will agree.”
Mrs. Lao Hou then said:
"You said."
“First, return all the dowry left to me by my granddaughter’s mother. I have the dowry list here.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
Second, I would trouble my grandma to find a marriage for my granddaughter. I will not accept Sheng Xia Ming's mess, even if my granddaughter gets married far away. ”
After hearing this, Mrs. Hou just thought for a moment and nodded:
"Grandma agreed to these two conditions of yours. Your mother's dowry was originally left to you, but it is only temporarily kept by Mrs. Zhao. I also have a dowry list here, and you will not be missing anything by then.
< br>
As for the marriage, grandma needs to look into it carefully. You are a young lady from the Hou family, so you must choose a well-matched person no matter what. ”
"Thank you grandma."
Midsummer Cicada immediately saluted. With Mrs. Hou's help, she would be able to be clean for a while.
"Okay, Chan'er, you go back and rest first. You can't ruin your body like this in the future."
"My child has remembered it."
After a while, Midsummer Cicada returned to her yard.
Midsummer Cicada rested in her yard for two days, and then went to see Mrs. Hou with the dowry list.
After Mrs. Hou learned that her daughter was almost strangled to death, she wanted to settle the score with Shengxia Cicada, but was stopped and scolded by the old Mrs. Hou:
"Ms. Zhao, the rabbit bites people when it's anxious! Just because I don't tell you doesn't mean that I don't know what's going on in the backyard. If you continue to make trouble, that girl will make you known as your stepdaughter's killer. Do you want to give her My own daughter cannot harm the Yongxin Hou Mansion if she seeks benefits.”
Mrs. Hou was shocked and could only swallow her anger and said:
"Yes, my daughter-in-law has written it down."
"Since you took over the Hou Mansion, you have also benefited a lot from Xia Channiang's dowry. Now return the dowry to Xia Chan.
Don't have any evil thoughts. A woman's dowry is the foundation for her to settle down and live a life. This is what Xia Chan Niang saved for her daughter. If you have the ability, save a share for Xia Ming. Don't worry about other people's things. ”
Mrs. Hou's words almost made it clear that Mrs. Hou Zhao was greedy. Mrs. Zhao blushed with shame, but she could not retort forcefully, because she was indeed tempted to buy the dowry from the former Mrs. Hou, and used the dowry over the years. I also got a lot of benefits for myself and enriched my pocket.
Now that Mrs. Hou opened her mouth, she was about to spit it out. She was really unwilling to do so, so she could only say weakly:
"Mother, the Marquis Mansion has a lot of expenses, and there is nothing my daughter-in-law can do about it. She has made some changes in the past few years."
"Hmph! Don't tell me whether you have these things or not. Hand them over obediently. If you don't want to, Xia Chan will sue the Hou Mansion for stealing her mother's dowry, and I will push you, Mrs. Hou, out. Anyway, my son will do the same. Can marry a bride ”
Mrs. Hou was excited, knowing that Mr. Hou could do what he said, so she immediately agreed and hurried back to her yard to take stock of things.
Shengxia Chan naturally knew that her mother's dowry was wasted a lot by Mrs. Hou, but she only followed the list and converted everything into silver. She would not let herself suffer. (End of chapter)
