After hearing Shen Ningyuan's words, Chen was stunned.
Seeing this, Shen Ningyuan patiently explained to her: "Before I married into the Marquis' Mansion, the mansion was already so poor that they could barely make ends meet. At that time, there were only a few servants to serve them, and my mother-in-law had to rely on embroidery to supplement the family income every day."
"In order to avoid being laughed at, the Marquis' Mansion only gave me a shop that was suffering from heavy losses as a betrothal gift when I got married."
"The shop behind is slowly getting better thanks to the support of my dowry."
"Do you want me to explain each of these things one by one?"
Chen stared at Shen Ningyuan fiercely: "You——"
She didn't expect that Shen Ningyuan would actually say these things so clearly.
"What do you mean by 'I'?" Shen Ningyuan sneered, "You guys can do it, are you afraid that I'll tell others?"
Chen's expression changed instantly: "You little bitch——"
Before she could curse, she was glared at by Shen Potian’s fierce eyes, and Chen was so scared that she immediately shut her mouth.
“Scold, why don’t you curse?” Shen Potian snorted coldly.
Pointing at Ji Zehai and Chen, he said, "You, the Ji family, are simply too much! You insulted and bullied my daughter in front of me several times. Do you really think that there is no one in my Shen family?"
"My dear relatives, that's not the case!" Ji Zehai quickly explained, "My wife was indeed upset today and spoke without thinking. You should not take it personally."
"They've already bullied me to the point of being bullied. There's no point in saying more!"
Shen Potian roared angrily: “My daughter’s dowry, you Ji family, you must give an explanation today!”
Shen Haobai said aggressively, "So, did the Marquis' Mansion misappropriate my sister's dowry on a large scale? Did they engage in shady accounting and cheat my sister out of her money?"
"Of course not!" Ji Zehai quickly denied.
Shen Haobai snorted coldly: "That's all I have to say. Why don't you return it? Be quick!"
Facing the aggressiveness of Shen Potian and Shen Haobai.
Ji Zehai and Chen were forced to be unable to utter a word.
Seeing this, Shen Ningyuan couldn't help but touch his nose.
It’s so strange, why do Ji Zehai and Chen always act so superior when talking to me?
But when facing the men of the Shen family, they shrank their necks, like two ostriches burying their heads in their necks?
Is it because I look easier to bully?
Thinking of this, Shen Ningyuan couldn't help but start to reflect on herself in her heart: Am I not strong enough, so they bully me unscrupulously?
Seeing that the two were silent, Shen Haobai emphasized his tone and pressed again: "So today, can I take back the dowry that belongs to my sister?"
Chen couldn't bear it any longer and smiled once again, "My dear nephew, we are all family. Isn't it too polite to force us to split the money?"
Shen Haobai retorted bluntly, "The Marquis' Mansion is so poor, yet they cheat and deceive me to take advantage of my sister. How shameless!"
Chen's expression changed again.
She never expected that at her age, she would be forced into this state by two juniors.
But the matter was of great importance, so Chen did not dare to speak rashly and turned her gaze to Ji Zehai.
Shen Haobai also followed Chen's gaze and turned to look at Ji Zehai, and asked bluntly: "How about it, do you want to split the bill or not? Just give me a straight answer!"
Things had come to this point, and Ji Zehai had no choice but to stand up.
He looked at Shen Ningyuan with an embarrassed expression, trying to negotiate with her: "Yuan'er, look, today is the day Yunchuan is buried. You know, the Marquis' Mansion has been busy these days and really has no energy to settle these accounts. Why don't you wait a few more days until we can recover, and then settle these accounts?"
Seeing that the three of them were silent, Ji Zehai continued, "Don't worry, in a few days, we will definitely settle the accounts and won't let you suffer any loss!"
Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan chuckled and looked at Ji Zehai and Chen coldly: "It seems that the Marquis and Madam Ji really didn't listen to my words."
Ji Zehai's expression froze, and he asked directly, "What are you talking about? Why didn't we listen to you?"
Shen Ningyuan said directly: "Just now I have been emphasizing that the accounts of the Marquis' Mansion and my dowry have been settled, but you just skipped it and didn't take my words seriously at all."
Chen finally reacted: "Have you really settled all these accounts?"
It seemed that Shen Ningyuan had really said these words.
It's just that they were only concerned about Shen Potian and Shen Haobai just now, and really didn't take Shen Ningyuan seriously.
"What else? Madam Ji, you won't think that I'm bragging, right?" Shen Ningyuan asked back.
Chen nodded as if it was a matter of course. "The Marquis' Mansion has been busy with the funeral, and you were delayed for a few days by returning to the General's Mansion. How could you possibly settle such a huge account so quickly? You must be lying!"
Ji Zehai also began to press the issue: "Also, Uncle Chen is dead, and the account office of the Marquis' Mansion is unattended. Who did you ask to settle your accounts? Don't tell me that you asked Uncle Chen's ghost to settle your accounts!"
Shen Ningyuan: "..."
I feel so powerless, this feeling comes again.
Facing father and elder brother, Ji Zehai and Chen, they dared not say a word.
But when facing me, they are aggressive and want to eat me alive.
My God, is she really that easy to bully?
Thinking of this, Shen Ningyuan couldn't help but take a deep breath and said sullenly: "Uncle Chen is dead, is there no one else in this world who will settle the account?"
"What's the meaning?"
Ji Zehai and Chen’s expressions changed, and they looked at Shen Ningyuan in surprise.
