Chapter 17 Today's Shame
"Little sister, do you hear the geese crying somewhere?"
Xia Xing'er knew that her third brother was teasing him, but she was not angry. She really liked this kind of atmosphere at home. Not everyone can maintain this kind of mentality even when they know that a disaster is about to happen, but her family did it.
I have to find a chance to take out the pills, so I'll go out for a walk and prepare some supplies.
"Third brother, I heard it. Wasn't the goose talking just now?"
Without giving him a chance to respond, she continued, "Mom and Dad, if everything is fine, we can just go back and prepare our things."
She really hasn't gone shopping for a long time, or to be more precise, she hasn't been shopping on solid ground.
At that time, as a ghost, she often followed Ye Qingyu around.
Xia Xing'er returned to her own courtyard and called her four maids, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, and two personal maids to her side.
Before Xia Xing'er could speak, Aunt Liu said happily, "Miss, all the dowry items have been taken back. You don't know, when we went to move the things, the corners of the mouths of those people in the general's mansion were full of laughter!"
At this point, Aunt Liu started to keep everyone in suspense. Dongmei was the most lively and impatient of the four maids. Before anyone else could say anything, she had already pulled Aunt Liu's sleeve and said, "Aunt Liu, stop keeping us in suspense and tell us quickly what interesting thing happened."
Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Madam Liu stopped keeping the suspense and started directly to tell everyone what had happened in the general's mansion.
Madam Liu and her companions led people to move the dowry, including huanghuali wood tables and chairs, golden nanmu furniture, carved fine wooden chaise longues, huanghuali Luohan beds, acacia screens, and rosewood throne screens inlaid with jade and flowers. They took away everything on the dowry list, unwilling to leave even a single thing for the general's mansion.
The old lady cried so hard that it shook the heavens and earth and made the ghosts weep. She scolded Xia Xing'er for being unfaithful, unfilial, cruel, and jealous.
Those who went there were all the sons of the Marquis's family. After hearing this, who could bear it?
Aunt Liu directly retorted, "You shameless old man, check your conscience. Ever since my young lady married into the general's mansion, how has she treated you? You have no heart, but the neighbors have eyes. Who would say that my young lady treated you badly?"
"You also said that my young lady was vicious and jealous. Why don't you tell me how your General's Mansion treated my young lady? You sent her to war on her wedding day, and after she came back, you asked for a concubine based on your military achievements. You also asked my young lady to pay for the marriage gift. Then, when you found out that my young lady wanted to leave, you divorced her so that you could take possession of her dowry. All of this was done by your General's Mansion.
Do you have any guilt when you do these things? You do such shameless things, and you still have the nerve to shout about it here, aren't you afraid that your neighbors will hear it, and aren't you afraid that others will point fingers at you! "
"Those dowries were accumulated by generations of the Xia family. You guys are trying to seize them and use them for your own benefit. Bah, are you worthy?"
"You are a family like yours, and you still want to divorce my young lady? How dare you do that?"
"Stop talking nonsense to this bunch of shameless people. Take away everything on the gift list. Don't leave anything behind."
The old lady was stunned by the scolding from Madam Liu. After thinking about it carefully, she realized that the scolding was right and she couldn't say anything back.
They were seen moving away the jade Ruyi pillow with Taotie pattern, the nine-colored phoenix-playing-with-the-phoenix lampstand, the precious pearl coral tree, the gold-thread brocade coral blanket, the huanghuali carved dragon and green stone screen, the Guanghan wood seven-screen couch, and the mahogany carved cloud pattern and marble-inlaid Arhat bed.
The old lady rushed over like crazy, "These are Xia Xing'er's gifts to me. You can't move them away. They are all mine."
The old lady cried more sadly than if her own mother had died.
Aunt Liu looked at her coldly. "Yours, do you deserve it? I'm still honoring you, do you still have any shame? I lent it to you before because you were our young lady's mother-in-law. Now that you're not, of course I have to take it back. Why are you still trying to withhold it?"
"Tsk tsk, you Helian family are really greedy. Look at your face, it's really shameless. Do you want me to get a mirror so you can look at yourself?"
Helian Zhi looked at this scene and didn't know who to blame. Should he blame his mother for insisting on taking the ex-daughter-in-law's dowry, or blame Xia Xing'er's servant for being heartless and embarrassing her mother in front of him.
Finally, she stepped forward, pulled her mother away, and said to her, "Mother, if she wants these worldly possessions, just give them to her. If you want them, I'll find them for you later."
When Aunt Liu heard him being so shameless and wanting to turn the tables, if someone who didn't know the truth heard him say that, they would think that these things all belonged to his Helian family, and that their young lady was so greedy that she wanted to take things from her ex-husband's family.
How could this be possible? "That's not what General Helian said. Although these things are personal possessions, they also belong to my young lady. They were originally her dowry. We are just taking back what originally belonged to our young lady."
Helian Zhi couldn't help but tighten his grip on the old lady's hands. If you looked closely, you could see veins bulging out. He shouted at Madam Liu and the others, "Take your things and get out of the General's Mansion!"
The old lady was held by Helian Zhi and could only curse angrily, "Xia Xing'er is a bitch. Once she leaves the gate of my general's mansion, she will be abandoned. I want to see what kind of good family that bitch can find in the future. Which good man in the capital would marry an abandoned woman?"
Aunt Liu looked at the exasperated old lady and snorted coldly, "Don't worry about these things, old lady. You should worry about your own affairs, such as what to use to fill these empty spaces."
As she spoke, Aunt Liu pointed around the empty house.
"After all, this general's mansion is about to marry a new wife."
Then he sighed again, "I don't want my daughter to have to take care of the whole family, and she has so much money that she doesn't know how to spend it."
After saying that, she shook her head as if worried.
"Fortunately, the divorce order was issued in time. From now on, my young lady will have nothing to do with your general's mansion."
After saying that, he didn't forget to glance at the old lady's ugly face and said coldly, "Move away!"
After hearing her words, Helian Zhi glared at Aunt Liu with angry eyes and yelled, "Get out, all of you, get out! Go back and tell Xia Xing'er that I, Helian Zhi, will remember this shame today. I hope she won't regret what she did today!"
One day, he would make Xia Xing'er kneel before him and repent.
Aunt Liu said coldly, "I also send this message to General Helian. I hope you don't regret your decision. I will also convey these words to my young lady without missing a word."
