After a strange silence, Ji Nian finally stood up and asked tentatively: "Ms. Chen, is what the accountant said true? The Marquis' Mansion has relied on Shen Ningyuan's dowry for the past year?"
Chen was speechless and could only smile awkwardly.
After a moment, Chen gritted her teeth and said with certainty: "Clan leader, don't listen to his nonsense. The accounts of the Marquis' Mansion and Shen Ningyuan's dowry are only combined on paper. In fact, they are separate. The Marquis' Mansion did not spend a penny of Shen Ningyuan's money."
"You're lying with your eyes open!"
After hearing what Chen said, Lan Yin couldn't help but roar in anger.
"You know better than anyone how much money the Marquis' Mansion has spent on the Young Madam this year! Just two days ago, you paid back the Young Madam 500,000 taels of silver. Have you forgotten?"
Before Lan Yin finished speaking, Chen scolded her harshly, "Slut, shut up!"
However, after hearing Lan Yin's words, Ji Nian suddenly felt a pang of fear.
I thought: If it is true as this maid said, even the most basic expenses of the Marquis' Mansion are spent on Shen Ningyuan's dowry.
Doesn't that mean they won't get a penny this time?
Thinking of this, Ji Nian's face turned ugly.
"Why should I shut up?" Lan Yin grew increasingly angry as she spoke. "How much money has the Marquis' Mansion squeezed out of the young lady over the past year? You dare to spend it, but you don't dare to admit it?"
"You, you, you, I told you to shut up, bitch!"
Chen was furious. She raised her hands high, walked to Lan Yin angrily, and slapped her hard.
With a "pop", Lan Yin covered her red and swollen face and glared at Chen angrily.
After slapping her, Chen sneered, "Slut, do you have the right to speak here?"
Then he lowered his voice and warned, "Chen Ningyuan hasn't come back yet. No one can stop me from doing whatever I want to do to you and your father. I warn you, if you don't want to be kicked out with your father, then shut up!"
Lan Yin choked and opened her mouth but didn't dare to refute.
Seeing this, Chen was even more proud and said bluntly: "Even if the Marquis' Mansion really spent Shen Ningyuan's dowry, so what? She has already married into the Marquis' Mansion and is a member of the Marquis' Mansion. Is there any problem with our family spending some of her dowry?"
"One day in the future, when Shen Ningyuan falls into my hands, I can spend her dowry however I want. You and your father have no right to interfere!"
Seeing Chen being so arrogant, Lan Yin couldn't bear it any longer.
He stretched out his two hands and rushed towards Chen, "I will fight you!"
Just like that, before Chen could react, Lan Yin knocked her to the ground.
Lan Yin rode on Chen, strangling her neck tightly, her eyes wide open with anger.
"How long are you going to bully my young lady? She has been married to the Ji family for one year, and you have bullied her for one year."
Lan Yin's tone became increasingly angry, and her grip on Chen's neck tightened. "My daughter has been so kind to the Marquis's family, why do you still treat her like this, plotting against her dowry?"
Chen was strangled by Lan Yin and could not break free no matter how hard she struggled. Her face turned ashen.
"Bitch, please...quickly let me go!" Chen said with increasing difficulty, "You're about to strangle me to death!"
"I won't let go! I'm going to strangle you to death today!" Lan Yin pinched even harder, "Don't think you can bully me and my father while the young lady is away!"
"You, you, you bitch, you are crazy."
Chen was being strangled so hard that it became increasingly difficult for her to breathe, and she even began to experience hallucinations.
The desire to survive made her hold Lan Yin's hand tightly, and she finally got a chance to breathe.
After recovering, Chen yelled at the maidservants beside her, "What are you still standing there for? Can't you see I'm about to be strangled to death? Hurry up and pull this bitch away!"
Hearing Chen's shout, everyone came to their senses.
"Hurry, hurry, go and save the lady!" Nanny Hai quickly called people forward.
Afterwards, Nanny Hai called two maids over, and each of them grabbed one of Lan Yin's hands and forcibly pulled her away.
Lan Yin, filled with anger, had completely lost her mind.
Even though his hands were held by two maids, he did not forget to kick Chen.
"Let me go, and let me strangle this evil mother-in-law to death. Not only did she spend my young mistress's dowry, she even wants to kill her! I will kill her today!"
Seeing Lan Yin being arrested and still clamoring like that, Chen's anger reached its peak.
Pointing at Lan Yin, she angrily scolded, "Like master, like servant. If I don't deal with you, my slave, today, I'm not the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion!"
As she spoke, Chen pointed at the servant beside her and ordered in a deep voice, "Come here, drag this slut and her damned father away, beat them to death with sticks and throw them out!"
"Yes, ma'am!"
After receiving the order, a group of servants came out and dragged Lan Yin and Lan Bo towards the outer courtyard.
No matter how Lan Yin and Lan Bo struggled, it was of no avail.
Soon, Lan Yin and Lan Bo were dragged into the yard by the servants.
The two were forcibly tied to a stool and could not move.
Then, the four servants held up their bamboo sticks high and brought them down hard on Lan Yin and Lan Bo's backs.
