Tai Jingwan watched helplessly as her husband married a second wife, only to discover that she could hear the inner voice of the new wife, Madam Jiang.
When Marquis Gu was thinking of using h...
"I didn't mean that." Tai Jingwan lowered her head, thinking in her heart, how should she tell Jiang Jinyue that her dowry was stolen by the people from the Gu family?
"In that case, sister, please don't be so formal with me. You know, I dare not compare with you in other things, but when it comes to rare treasures, I think what my Jiang family has is definitely not less than what you have." Jiang Jinyue said proudly.
"My sister is right." Tai Jingwan thought about it and let it go. These things originally belonged to her. It wasn't too much for her to take back her things, right?
However, Jiang Jinyue might be wronged. After all, this was the betrothal gift that the Gu family gave to Jiang Jinyue. Although she was not sure how much she got, it was still a loss for Jiang Jinyue.
"Isn't my sister's dowry placed in the Gu family's big warehouse?" When she arrived at the door of Jiang Jinyue's warehouse, Tai Jingwan was stunned. Why didn't she think of putting those things in her own yard at that time?
Instead, they placed them in a small warehouse next to the big warehouse, and they said they gave me the key, but why were those things missing?
You can't just grow legs and run away, right?
"Yes, sister, let me tell you, this dowry is the foundation of our lives as women. It must be kept under our own eyes." Jiang Jinyue said to Tai Jingwan.
[Poor beautiful sister, she trusted the Gu family at that time and placed her dowry next to the storehouse. She didn't know that they wanted to embezzle her dowry. Now, in just three years, half of the dowry prepared by the Tai family for her has been spent. 】
Jiang Jinyue thought with great sympathy.
...
...
She was also thinking about what she should do to get Tai Jingwan to give her dowry.
[No, I have to think of a way to make Sister Tai take out the dowry openly, otherwise, the useless Third Young Master of the Gu family will sooner or later lose all the money for the old lady's coffin. 】
Jiang Jinyue was thinking carefully in her mind what method she should find.
I was thinking in my mind who should Tai Jingwan find to be her backer.
Gu Nianshu happily took one hundred taels of silver to the largest jewelry shop in the capital, Zhenbao Pavilion.
You know, the jewelry in the Treasure Pavilion all starts at ten taels of silver.
In the capital, which woman would not be proud to own a set of jewelry from Zhenbao Pavilion?
"Nianshu, what do you want to buy in this Treasure Pavilion today?" Hua Yilin asked Gu Nianshu with a hopeful look on her face.
Hua Yilin is the younger sister of Gu Huai's boss Hua Mingyu. She has a close relationship with Gu Nianshu on weekdays.
After Tai Jingwan married into the Gu family, she was quite generous to her sister-in-law. Usually, when Gu Nianshu asked for ten or eight taels of silver, Tai Jingwan would give it to her without blinking an eye.
Even so, Gu Nianshu still felt that Tai Jingwan was too stingy. As her sister-in-law, she didn't even know how to give her more money on a daily basis.
After all, even with five or ten taels of silver, she couldn't enter the door of the Treasure Pavilion.
As for Mrs. Tang, let alone that she herself doesn't have much money, and even if she did, she doesn't give as much as Tai Jingwan on a daily basis.
After all, most of the money of the old Tang family was swindled away by the third son, Gu Mingzhi.
"Today, I have brought enough money, and I will definitely pick out a nice hairpin later." Gu Nianshu said proudly. Now, she is no longer the Gu Nianshu of the past.
She is Gu Nianshu, the head of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion.
"Nianshu really envies you. Your sister-in-law is willing to spend so much money to buy jewelry for you at the Treasure Pavilion. I am not as lucky as you. My sister-in-law regards her money as more important than her life. Don't even think about getting a penny of it." Hua Yilin said to Gu Nianshu with envy on her face.
In the past, as long as I said this, no matter what Gu Nianshu wanted to buy, she would give me a copy.
Who doesn’t want the jewelry from the Treasure Pavilion?
Why is it that Gu Nianshu's brother is just a fourth-rank ceremonial officer under his brother?
She can wear the jewelry from the Treasure Pavilion, but I can’t?
Thinking of this, Hua Yilin became extremely jealous.
"How can this be the money my stingy sister-in-law gave me? Humph, this is the money of my Gu family. From now on, I will be the head of the Gu family." Gu Nianshu said proudly.
"Ah? But, Nianshu, isn't it said that the Gu family is headed by your sister-in-law? How come you are the head now?" Hua Yilin would be lying if she said she wasn't envious.
However, she also didn't understand why Gu Nianshu's eldest brother, who had married two sisters-in-law, would still let Gu Nianshu be the head of the family?
"Don't mention those two." Gu Nianshu's face was full of disgust when she thought of Tai Jingwan and Jiang Jinyue.
"Wasn't your sister-in-law very good to you before?" Hua Yilin thought. Before, Gu Nianshu had a lot of money on her.
Moreover, she heard that Gu Nianshu's sister-in-law's father was the Minister of Personnel.
With such a powerful family, Hua Yilin looked at Gu Nianshu with a look of disdain and thought to herself, I don't know where Gu Nianshu got the confidence to look down on others.
Now he has even taken away the power to manage the family.
I heard that her eldest brother married the Jiang family's legitimate daughter as his concubine some time ago.
Thinking of this, Hua Yilin became jealous again. How come all the good things were taken away by Gu Nianshu?
However, there was one thing that Hua Yilin was quite proud of. Although Gu Nianshu's eldest brother was the Marquis of Xuanping, everyone in the capital knew about the Marquis of Xuanping's Mansion. It was just an empty shell of a marquis' mansion without any real power. Marquis of Xuanping Gu Huaizhi was just a small Siping Dianyi and still worked under her brother.
This made Hua Yilin straighten her back again. After all, Gu Nianshu only earned the title of marquis because of her ancestors' good deeds. Now, she was going to be defeated by her brother.
In the future, it is hard to say who has a more noble status.
Zhuangyuanfang was bustling with activity. Gu Mingzhi, with silver in his pocket, looked at this table and that table.
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Gu San? He's here again today?" Someone saw Gu Mingzhi and hurriedly stepped forward to ask with a smile.
"What? You can come but I can't?" Gu Mingzhi was very angry when he looked at the man in front of him. After all, he had lost a lot of money to the man in front of him named Wang Mazi.
"If you can come, of course you can come. I welcome Mr. Gu San very much. What do you want to play today, Mr. Gu San?" Wang Mazi said with a smile as he looked at Gu Mingzhi, the victim in front of him.
"Let me take a look first. Later, I will make sure to win back everything I lost from you." Gu Mingzhi said proudly.
"Oh? Then Wang Mazi will accompany Master Gu San to fight a few moves." Wang Mazi said with satisfaction.
"I wonder how many chips Mr. Gu has prepared today?" Wang Mazi asked Gu Mingzhi with a smile.
