Chapter 751 The Third Wife's Sabotage and Reporting of Misfortune

The old woman scoffed, "They were so ruthless back then, it's no use regretting it now. And what happened afterward? Did they cause any trouble?"

"I originally intended to cause trouble, but then I handed over the congratulatory gift for my eldest sister-in-law to Lord Xiang, and Lord Xiang had his officers deliver it. The Yuan family was imprisoned for a few days, and they were afraid the officers would kill them, so they didn't dare to raise their heads and slunk away."

The old lady laughed heartily, "Serves you right."

Shu Yu smiled. Liang Shi and Lu Sanzhu had also found out what happened to the Yuan family afterward.

It seems Yuan Shanchuan went back to the village and found Village Chief Chen, who was genuinely furious this time. No one knows what he said, but the Yuan family seems to have calmed down for now.

Shu Yu continued reading, and the letter also mentioned that Li Shi had indeed set her sights on the set of jewelry that Shu Yu had sent.

After the banquet ended and all the guests left, Li quietly put away the set of jewelry.

Liang and she were sisters-in-law, so even if she was lazy, she would still stay to help on such a joyous occasion.

But she was just putting on an act; in reality, she was looking for an opportunity to take some of the elaborate dishes from the wedding banquet home to eat. She was doing it secretly, and when she saw that Li was also doing it secretly, she paid extra attention to her.

As a result, they saw Li go directly into the newlyweds' room and take the headdress into her own room.

Fortunately, besides Liang, Da Niu was also among those who saw what Li was doing.

Da Niu immediately went to Li's house and made her return the jewelry.

Li was displeased, saying that the jewelry was too valuable and that she would keep it safe for the young couple to prevent them from accidentally damaging it. She also mentioned that Zhou Qiao had several unmarried sisters, and it wouldn't be good if Zhou Qiao divided it up as a favor. She added that it was a gift from their Lu family daughter, and it was most appropriate for her to accept it.

No matter how much she said, Da Niu wouldn't agree.

Finally, Li was so angry with him that she scolded Da Niu for being selfish and not thinking about his sister. She said that such fine jewelry should be given to Lan Hua as part of her dowry when she gets married, giving her a sense of security.

Da Niu still wouldn't listen and eventually took the jewelry back, which infuriated Li Shi.

But she had no choice. It was her son's big day, and she couldn't make things too awkward. Her daughter and son-in-law were both there, and if she talked things out, her eldest daughter would be unhappy, since her dowry wasn't very valuable when she got married.

So she decided to give Da Niu face and not hold it against him.

However, Liang felt that Li would definitely not give up on this plan. Since she couldn't get that headdress from Da Niu, she might coax Zhou Qiao into giving it to her willingly.

Later in the letter, Liang asked Shuyu why she had given such a large gift when Da Niu got married.

When Da Bao gets married in the future, will his headdress be even bigger and more valuable?

She also told Shuyu not to deliver it to Dabao, but to deliver it to her instead. She wouldn't keep it for herself, and if Dabao's wife was filial and considerate, she would reward her from time to time.

Shu Yu was speechless for a moment. The old lady scolded Liang Shi, "She's really got a good plan. Da Bao is only a few years old, and she's already scheming about his wedding?"

Shu Yu deeply agreed, and then Lu Sanzhu added a sentence that seemed to convey the same meaning.

Shu Yu thought to herself, "This couple really do share the same values. No wonder they can get along so well and are so happy. It's just that Da Bao's wife will suffer in the future."
