The person who came was Aunt Zhilan, my aunt's maid who came with her as a dowry and also my aunt's confidante!
Everyone in the Wenyong Earl's mansion was waiting respectfully for Aunt Zhilan to speak.
Zhilan smiled when she saw Tang Chuyao appear, and said to the others, "Sister Xiao has already reached the age of 15, and needs to learn some skills to manage the household. The Imperial Concubine specially sent two maids to teach Sister Xiao how to manage the dowry left by the Madam!"
Tang Youze and the others looked unhappy. They thought that the imperial concubine had sent a reward to Tang Chuyao, but they didn't expect that the imperial concubine would finally interfere in the dowry issue!
As soon as Zhilan finished speaking, two maids came forward and bowed to Tang Chuyao.
"Big sister, this is Madam Rong, and this is Madam Li." Zhilan introduced herself to Tang Chuyao, "They will help you take care of the dowry left by your wife!"
The two maids bowed to Tang Chuyao at the same time, "This old slave greets Sister Xiao!"
Tang Chuyao reached out and helped the two maids up, smiling sincerely, "Thank you for your hard work, both maids!"
Here, Tang Chuyao was greeting the two maids warmly, while over there, Tang Youze's face turned ugly for a moment, but he didn't show it.
The old lady had a kind look on her face, without a trace of emotion.
Zhilan sent the person away and left...
Tang Chuyao was just about to arrange for Yinghe to take the two maids to the courtyard to rest for a while, and then clean up two rooms.
Rong Mama has already spoken, and she is talking to the old lady, "Old lady, since I am here under the order of Concubine Feng to help the eldest sister take care of the dowry for that year, then let's start the handover now!"
Although Madam Rong's tone sounded respectful, it was not polite at all, and what she said did not allow the old lady to refuse!
The old lady's face suddenly turned bad, but she didn't dare to say anything. She just comforted her, "The two maids have worked hard all the way. Why don't you take a rest first? Tomorrow I will have someone bring the account books for you to review!"
"No need! As a slave, I am not that noble! Madam, please take the trouble to hand it over today!"
Nanny Li also stepped forward and spoke, her face kind but unquestionable.
Seeing this, the old lady knew there was nothing to talk about, but how could she be willing to give up all her shops and farmland?
I was so anxious that I fainted...
Tang Chuyao was not surprised at all, this was a trick often used by the old lady.
The two maids were also very angry. They had never seen such a scoundrel! He actually did this in front of them!
Tang Youze quickly bowed to the two maids and said, "Madams, please don't push too hard. Mother is not feeling well. I hope you can let me go get someone to treat her!"
There were quite a few people looking over at the gate. If word got out that the Imperial Concubine's people had made the old lady of the Wenyong Marquis's mansion sick, wouldn't that cause trouble for the Imperial Concubine?
I thought they were bullying others by taking advantage of their power!
"Father, don't worry, let me do it!" Tang Chuyao stepped forward slowly.
After saying that, he took out a finger-long silver needle from his sleeve. The silver needle flashed coldly under the sunlight, which made people shudder!
"You rebellious girl, what do you want to do?" Tang Youze roared.
"Your grandmother has fainted from anger, and you are still holding a needle with bad intentions. Are you trying to murder your grandmother?"
Tang Chuyao ignored Tang Youze and went straight to the old lady's philtrum with quick, accurate and ruthless movements. She heard Tang's mother scream from behind, "Ah~~"
"You evil creature! How dare you touch me!" The old lady stood up from the bed in an instant and shouted at Tang Chuyao with full energy.
Tang Chuyao smiled slightly, "So grandma was pretending to faint! Otherwise, why would the sound be so loud? It doesn't sound like she's sick at all!"
More and more people gathered around, and some people in the crowd were talking about it.
"It's obvious that this old lady is pretending!"
"Yes! Look at the way she got up just now. Does she look sick at all?"
"Everyone says that the eldest sister of Wenyong Mansion is ugly and has no manners! I think there is a kind of nobility in the eldest sister's every move!"
"Did the old lady just scold my elder sister? But my elder sister is still smiling, she doesn't seem angry at all!"
"I think so too. Even when being scolded in public, the eldest sister still smiled. She is too gentle!"
The old lady's face was blue and white, which looked very beautiful.
"Since the old lady is fine, let's hand over our sister Chi Xiao's dowry today!" Nanny Li continued.
The old lady thought that after this incident, the two wives would not mention it for the time being, but she didn't expect that the two wives would not give up!
The discussion in the crowd became louder.
"I heard that after the eldest sister's mother passed away, the dowry was always taken care of by the old lady and Aunt Mei. All these years have passed, and the eldest sister has grown up, but they are still holding on to the dowry!"
"Yes! I think this old lady doesn't want to give it to me!"
"You don't even take the maids in the palace seriously!"
"If it is proven that she embezzled her daughter-in-law's dowry, the old lady will probably go to jail!"
The old lady also heard the discussions in the crowd and her face looked very bad. She let her two wives into the house first!
"You two maids are joking. I really feel sorry for the eldest girl. Since the imperial concubine has ordered you to come with me!"
After saying this, the old lady turned around and walked towards Rong Jintang with the support of Anxiang...
Madam Rong and Madam Li looked at each other and followed...
Tang Chuyao raised her head and glanced at the tree not far away, then turned and left with Du Juan, without even looking at Tang Youze and Aunt Mei.
Tang Youze narrowed his eyes slightly, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes as he looked at Tang Chuyao's departing back!
Aunt Mei pulled Tang Youze's sleeve, looking worried, "Master, what should we do?"
Tang Youze was upset at this time. He pulled back his sleeves and yelled at Aunt Mei, "How did this uncle know?"
Aunt Mei looked at Tang Youze's departing back with a look of resentment on her face, and muttered in a low voice, "You didn't say anything when you spent money, but now that something has happened, you don't care anymore!"
Tang Chuying was also very upset! She also wanted to participate in the Qiqiao Festival next month, and she needed exquisite jewelry and clothes!
When Tang Chuyao returned to her courtyard, Gu Qingchen was still there!
Shouldn't the Regent be very busy with official duties?
Why is he so idle!
Gu Huaifeng's cheeks were already red and his whole body was trembling!
Tang Chuyao felt contemptuous, "This?"
But it was just a horse stance, how long had it lasted? I couldn't hold on any longer!
Thinking back to when she was in Xiaoyao Valley, her master would ask them to practice horse stance for two hours every day!
She persisted in doing it every day without fail. She really couldn't understand why she would fall in love with such a thing!
She is really blind!
Oh, that’s not right. Only a blind person would fall for Gu Huaifeng!
Gu Qingchen is thousands of times stronger than Gu Huaifeng!
Thinking of this, Tang Chuyao looked at Gu Qingchen with a look of admiration that she herself did not even notice!
Gu Qingchen is feeling depressed. Isn't it that he would rather go to the imperial concubine than ask himself for help?
Isn’t it more effective than anything else to say that the Regent is your savior?
Forget it, since she knows her mistake and has corrected it, I'll forgive her this time!
Gu Qingchen coughed lightly, and the unhappiness in his heart was swept away by Tang Chuyao's admiring eyes!
