Madam Shen angrily rebuked, "Li Yunyan! Don't try to argue with me! Tell me! Why did you leave the manor without my permission today?!"
Li Yunyan didn't answer her, and they each talked about their own things.
“Mother, when I first came into the family, you said you were worried that I was too young to manage my dowry properly, so you took over four shops to manage them for me! I went to see them today, and you have indeed managed them very well! I wonder how much profit you have made in these four years? When will you give it to me?”
Mother Shen was taken aback.
Those four shops were all located in excellent locations, and their business was already very good! She simply replaced the managers of the shops with her own people, and she was able to reap the benefits without lifting a finger, with a large sum of money coming in every month!
Although the shops have not yet been transferred to her name, she has already regarded those shops as her own property!
You want it back? No way!
Mother Shen has completely forgotten her original intention in calling Li Yunyan over; she is now solely focused on protecting her own business.
She snorted coldly, her tone softening slightly, "I'm managing the shop for your own good! As a wife, you shouldn't always be showing your face in public! You should focus your attention on Xian'er and give the Shen family a grandson as soon as possible; that's the most important thing!"
"Then your mother must have had a tough time?"
"It must have been tiring, of course." Madam Shen leaned back in her chair, looking tired, and looked at the maids behind her, asking them to bring up her foot bath basin.
The two maids immediately did as instructed.
A short while later, a wooden basin filled with hot water was brought up.
With the help of her maid, Madam Shen removed her shoes and socks, placed her two well-maintained feet on the edge of the basin, and touched them with her toes.
He said to Li Yunyan in a condescending manner, "If you know I'm tired, then come and wash my feet!"
Even though there are maids to serve her, she insists on wasting her daughter-in-law's time. I wonder what kind of twisted mentality she has?
Before, the original owner had been humiliated by this old hag countless times!
Li Yunyan wouldn't tolerate her!
She took small steps and moved over to stand next to the foot bath.
Under the smug look in Shen's mother's eyes, she lightly lifted her toes.
The wooden basin overturned, and hot water spilled all over the floor.
"ah!!!"
Chen's mother's foot slipped and she almost fell, but she quickly grabbed the handrail to avoid falling.
"Li Yunyan! You're insane!!!"
Li Yunyan took a few steps back without leaving a trace, and not a single drop of water got on the soles of her embroidered shoes.
Her tone was full of concern, "Daughter-in-law, seeing that Mother's forehead is dark and her eyes are bluish-purple, she must be exhausted! Let's not waste any more time, go to bed and rest!"
After saying that, ignoring his mother's stunned expression, he went to the inner room, lifted her bed, and touched a hidden compartment.
With a gentle press of the finger, the hidden compartment opens.
This is the treasure trove of the Mother of the Sinking, which was scanned by the Goody System!
Li Yunyan quickly took all the silver notes inside, closed the hidden compartment, and put the bedding back in its original position.
Mother Shen and Granny Lin, who followed her in, were both astonished!
So shocked that he could only stare blankly at her movements, he even forgot to speak!
How did she know the banknotes were hidden there?
How could she just take it like that?!
How is this any different from burglary?!
Li Yunyan took the silver note, smiling gently and gratefully.
She sincerely bowed to Mother Shen, saying, "With you managing the shop for me, I feel very at ease! Consider these as the profits from the shop over the past four years. I'll take them now and come back to collect them next year!"
Upon seeing the stack of silver notes, Mother Shen finally realized what was happening.
"Ah!!! Li Yunyan, you heartless bastard! Give me back my silver notes!"
Li Yunyan easily dodged her jumping hand, and Dongyun silently hugged Lin Mama's waist to prevent her from joining the battle.
"Li Yunyan! You're insane! This money is mine!"
"How dare you disrespect your mother-in-law! Don't you care about your reputation?"
"Do you believe I'll make Xian'er divorce you?!"
"Give it back to me right now!!!"
Four maids followed her in, trying to stop Li Yunyan.
Before they could even touch a corner of her clothes, Li Yunyan kicked them both out of the inner room.
She folded the banknotes neatly and stuffed them into her sleeve pocket, standing upright and virtuous.
“Mother, these things originally belonged to your daughter-in-law, how can you call it stealing? My husband loves me so much, he must be on my side!”
She moved with light, graceful steps, her voice soft and gentle, "If Mother is angry, then let her go to the authorities! I'd love to hear what people outside think of Mother for doing such a good thing as managing her daughter-in-law's dowry!"
Seeing that she was about to walk out of the yard, Chen's mother was going crazy!
All those people she had under her command couldn't stop Li Yunyan?!
All he could do was roar helplessly, "Li Yunyan! Get back here! Give me back my silver notes!!!"
"Li Yunyan! You're insane!"
"Li Yunyan! You vicious woman! I will make Xian'er divorce you!"
Li Yunyan did not pause for a moment, a mocking smile curling at the corner of her lips.
How could Shen Fengxian possibly divorce his wife?
He'd rather kill his wife than divorce her!
Once her figure was completely out of sight, Chen's mother, who was so angry she was jumping up and down, clutched her chest and collapsed.
"Madam!!!"
......
Back at Liuyan Courtyard, Dongyun finally felt relieved.
"Phew! Miss! I was terrified! That old lady is so scary!"
Li Yunyan chuckled, sat down at the table, and took out the silver notes from her sleeve to count them.
