Chapter 987 Regret
Officials came to seize Chu Jingxiu's dowry, but Min Sibo firmly refused to admit that he divorced Chu Jingxiu, saying that he was forced to write the divorce letter by Min's aunt, and he would take Chu Jingxiu back.
Min Sibo turned a group of officials into a joke with just a few words.
They are a couple, and in the end they are still a couple, and a large group of them come here in an aggressive manner to help their daughter-in-law take away the dowry. Doesn't this make them robbers?
Aren't these two people playing tricks on officials like them?
The deputy catcher was very angry.
And Min Sibo was also helpless and depressed.
At the beginning, he did not want to divorce Chu Jingxiu. He knew deeply that the Min family had to rely on the relationship between Chu Jingxiu and the Chu family to have food and clothing. Once Chu Jingxiu left and left them alone, what would their family eat and drink?
Although he became an official, the salary of being an official was low. Even if he drank porridge, he could not feed these dozen people.
What's more, Chu Jingxiu was very good to him and took good care of him. He couldn't be heartless and abandon her after what happened to her.
Min Sibo wanted to take the opportunity to bring Chu Jingxiu back to prevent her from being kicked out of the Min family with the reputation of being an abandoned woman.
Min Sibo also knew that if he did this, he would offend the prefect, but if he missed today, after the officials took away Chu Jingxiu's dowry, he would really have no chance to take Chu Jingxiu back.
Min Sibo apologized to a group of officials and gave them ten taels of silver to drink, but the deputy chief didn't say anything else.
However, when he left, he specifically told Min Sibo, "Our adults sent us here to get back the dowry for Aunt Chu. Since you said you wanted to take back Aunt Chu, the dowry cannot be taken away. However, This matter is not decided by you or me. You have to ask Aunt Chu. If she is willing to come back, what about the dowry? Of course we will send it back as it is. If Aunt Chu doesn't want to come back, we will hand over the dowry to her personally. However, I was right about the dowry list. This item is not the same as the number on it. Nearly half of it is missing. I hope Mr. Min can hand over all these things before taking Aunt Chu back.”
This was a complaint that Princess Anjun personally went to the Yamen to complain to. Mr. Wang attached great importance to it, and of course he did not dare to treat it lightly.
No matter what, after returning, he must give an explanation to Princess Anjun no matter what.
Min Sibo was dumbfounded.
Hand it over, hand it over, he only has a total of twenty or thirty taels of silver, which Chu Jingxiu gave him before. He has never spent it, but plans to keep it in case of urgent need.
As for Chu Jingxiu's dowry, he didn't even pay attention to it.
However, he also knew that his aunt had taken things from Chu Jingxiu's hands several times, but he was afraid that her aunt would make trouble, so he pretended not to know.
When the official left, he also took away the half-carriage of dowry. Aunt Min and Great Aunt Min saw this and refused to let it go. Finally, Min Sibo became anxious and said, "For obstructing official duties, you will be slapped with a thirty blackboard. If you don't still Let go, do you want to get thirty pills in the yamen?”
Not to mention 30 yuan, even 20 yuan. I'm afraid they can't bear it with their bodies. Money is important, but life is even more important.
The Min family's mother and daughter lingered for a long time before reluctantly letting go.
When the officer left, Min Sibo went to pick up Chu Jingxiu.
I don’t know what he told Chu Jingxiu, but in short, Chu Jingxiu changed his mind, followed Min Sibo, and abandoned Zhuo in the Yamen. Zhuo’s face turned dark with anger, and she immediately walked away.
Xia Zihan comforted her, "Mom, since the Min family has taken her back, it is a good thing. Among the more than ten generations of our Chu family, we have never had a aunt who was abandoned and returned home."
< br>
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhuo thought about it carefully and realized that this was indeed the case. Her expression became a little brighter, "That's good. She has returned to Min's house, so I can worry less. In the future, she won't even think about asking me for anything." , I have the time to eat carrots and not worry, so I might as well spend more time with my two eldest grandsons." Although Mrs. Zhuo said this, it was difficult to let go of this tone.
Xia Zihan said many kind words and finally calmed Zhuo's anger.
In the afternoon, Chu Xuanyu came back and said that Prince Rong had arrested Gao Royi's maid Xiaoyan and said that she had planted something seductive in the yard.
After several maids died in the house, Princess Rong felt that the feng shui of the house had been destroyed. After carefully inspecting the house, she discovered that a large flowerbed in the back garden had been transformed into a rockery by Rong San a few years ago.
Princess Rong suspected that the rockery had brought bad luck to the palace. Otherwise, why would her good niece suddenly become cold, how could her good daughter be divorced by Prince Ping and return home, and even her relationship with Prince Rong would be divorced. It is falling day by day, and now, it is almost turning into a piece of ice.
The more Princess Rong thought about it, the more she felt that the feng shui in the back garden must have been damaged, and that the troubles in Prince Rong's mansion had continued in recent years.
Princess Rong immediately ordered several gardeners in the palace to dismantle the rockery. Unexpectedly, two Gu dolls sewn with cloth were dismantled from the rockery.
There are no characters on the doll, only a stripe that looks like a talisman, but it doesn't look like a talisman drawn by a Taoist monk in a temple.
Princess Rong often went to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, and she had seen many talismans drawn by monks. As for the pattern on the Gu doll, she was very sure that it was not the kind of talisman in the temple, but another kind of talisman than the one in the temple. A more mysterious rune.
Princess Rong immediately took it to show to Prince Rong.
After Prince Rong looked at it, he thought for a long time and couldn't recognize what the rune was. However, although he didn't recognize the rune, he immediately went to investigate the origin of the Gu doll.
Finally, after investigating the fabric, it was found that the fabric was some leftovers from Xiaoyan's clothes making.
Prince Rong ordered Xiaoyan to be arrested immediately.
Originally, he also wanted to catch Gao Royi, but Xiaoyan insisted that it was the Gu doll she had buried.
She said that Princess Rong slapped her, and she hated Princess Rong, so she remembered the Gu doll that her grandmother had mentioned when she was a child. Her grandmother had taught her how to draw runes, and she still remembered some of them.
She secretly made two Gu dolls, painted them with runes, and buried them in the rockery. The purpose was to create some chaos in the house.
As for the death of those three maids, Xiaoyan firmly refused to admit that she had anything to do with it.
Xiaoyan shouldered the blame, and Prince Rong had no excuse to trouble Gao Royi. However, he asked Princess Rong to send two confidant maids to Gao Royi to serve her personally.
As for Xiaoyan, after being beaten ten times, she was sold to Xinghua Tower by Princess Rong.
However, what Princess Rong didn't know was that she had sold Xiaoyan, so she went to Xinghua Tower and stole Xiaoyan.
