"Will you give it to me?"
Xu Maocai's expression gradually became fierce.
Zhao Yaru sarcastically looked up at Xu Maocai, "It's just an ordinary ornament, why are you so angry?"
Xu Maocai's face turned pale when he was told what he was thinking. Then, he was greeted with impatience, "This is what Wanyan's mother left behind. Naturally, it should be given to Wanyan. It's just and proper!"
"Legitimate?"
Zhao Yaru sneered, "When you used these things to please your superiors, why didn't you say whether it was legitimate? When you used these to marry a wife and concubines, why didn't you say it was legitimate?"
Xu Maocai's face grew darker and darker, and he looked at Zhao Yaru with increasing impatience, "Are you going to take it out or not? No matter how big the fire is, it won't burn it. Don't think you can fool me!"
Zhao Yaru was stunned for a moment, then she continued stubbornly: "Anyway, I didn't find it."
Xu Maocai's last bit of patience was finally exhausted. He grabbed Zhao Yaru's throat and asked, "Give it to me or not?"
Zhao Yaru didn't expect him to be so cruel, but fortunately she had just figured it out, so she shook her head with difficulty.
"Take it out quickly, otherwise you will give up your position as the main wife!" Xu Maocai roared loudly.
Zhao Yaru was completely stunned this time. She never expected Xu Maocai to say such a thing.
Although she was strangled and unable to speak, the despair in her eyes was overflowing and tears were streaming down her face.
Xu Maocai felt reluctant for a moment, but when he thought of Yu Qilin and Huang Yifan, his heart hardened again.
"Hand it over, and you will still be Mrs. Xu, otherwise..."
Zhao Yaru shook her head, and the tears in her eyes slowly dried up.
Xu Maocai knew that she had made up her mind, so he threw her out and said coldly: "Since that's the case, from now on, you will be the concubine, and Yueping will be the main wife of the Xu family."
Zhao Yaru fell to the ground, gasping for breath, without saying a word.
Xu Maocai looked at her with disgust and finally left angrily.

"This, this won't do. Madam is doing well. I..."
Huang Yueping was a little flustered. This happened too suddenly.
However, Xu Maocai looked at her with tenderness in his eyes and said with a smile, "Why not? This is what you deserve. You are more gentle and virtuous than that Zhao, and you gave me such an outstanding son. You must be the main wife of the Xu family."
"Can......"
She just came for revenge.
"Don't say but, Yueping."
As he spoke, Xu Maocai stepped forward and embraced Huang Yueping.
Huang Yueping felt disgusted and shrank her neck silently.
"Even if you don't consider yourself, you should consider Yifan. If he goes to the academy in the future, will people say he is a bastard?"
When talking about her son, Huang Yueping looked a little conflicted.
Xu Maocai knew that her son was her weakness, so she would naturally agree because of her son.
"But, Madam..."
Such a jealous person would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood.
"Leave her alone. She's been Madam Xu for so many years, and the Xu family is a mess. Look at the children she raised, they're a mess!"
Huang Yueping soothed her, "Madam...maybe she has her own difficulties."
"Difficulties? Humph! I don't know how to indulge her."
"Last time, Wanyan found problems with all the shops, and I just asked her to make up for it. To this day, I still don't know why she embezzled the money."
Huang Yueping glanced at him and whispered, "Madam's family was having a hard time before, so it's understandable that she would help out. However, things are not so bad right now. My uncle is an official. I heard he's in the Ministry of War, so he's quite reliable."
Xu Maocai narrowed his eyes and looked back and forth at Huang Yueping several times.
Huang Yueping's face was in a panic, and she quickly said in a low voice, "Master, please don't think too much. I'm the one who said too much. I shouldn't talk about the lady's family affairs."
"You're right!"
Xu Maocai said this calmly.
"I hope the master doesn't blame me for being too talkative."
Xu Maocai shook his head and said, "I have decided. From now on, you will be the main wife of the Xu family."
Huang Yueping looked embarrassed and hesitated for a long time before finally nodding reluctantly. "Since Master thinks so highly of me, I can't refuse your request."
"Okay, that's right. We must tell Yifan this good news and make him happy too."
Huang Yueping nodded shyly, "Then I'll tell Wanyan later. Then, our whole family can have a meal together, and we can also invite the old man to come."
"Of course. I must give you such respect."
Huang Yueping hurried to Feiyun Garden and told Xu Wanyan about this.
Seeing that Xu Wanyan was not very surprised, she kept smiling.
Huang Yueping understood instantly, "Wanyan, this, this was done by you?"
Xu Wanyan shook her head. "No, I just reminded my father. You know, Zhao Yaru has displeased my father recently."
Huang Yueping nodded, "Yes, Xu Maocai was furious when he said that."
Xu Wanyan quickly arranged for the kitchen to prepare a family dinner. Such a good thing naturally needed to be celebrated.
"Aunt Huang, from now on, I'll leave the household duties to you."
Xu Wanyan was speaking the truth; all she cared about was her mother's dowry.
Now, part of the dowry has been taken back, and the rest will be taken back at the right time.
Huang Yueping shook her head. "No, no, before you get married, you will be in charge of the household chores. That way, you won't be so busy after you get married."
"But I..."
"I know you're capable, kid. However, you still need to learn what you need to learn. Just let me take a break. Over the years, I've been managing a household with Yifan by myself. I haven't had this much free time in a long time."
Xu Wanyan thought about it and finally nodded.
After Huang Yueping left, Xu Wanyan instructed Mother Chen: "Mother Chen, go and invite Madam, oh no, Aunt Zhao and Sister to come to the family dinner."
Mother Chen nodded and said, "Yes, Miss, I will be there right away."
After all, things have changed.
At nightfall, the Xu family's lobby was brightly lit.
Xu Wanyan looked at the maids and servants shuttling back and forth, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
"Arrange the chairs, everyone's position must be in order!"
"This dish, this dish is placed before the master and the mistress."
"This is lotus seed soup, which is the old man's favorite food in Jiangnan. Put it in front of the old man."
“.......”
Xu Wanyan couldn't help but smile as she looked at Qiao Yun who was busy making arrangements.
The dishes were ready, and Old Master Xu, Xu Maocai, Huang Yueping and Huang Yifan arrived one after another.
"Wanyan, and..."
Xu Wanyan didn't wait for him to finish his question and said with a smile: "Father, I have sent someone to Mingzhu Garden to inform Aunt Zhao and my sister."
The name "Aunt Zhao" made the busy servants and maids wonder: When did another Aunt Zhao come to the Xu family? Is she the master's new concubine, or the old master's new concubine?
However, the masters had no expression on their faces, probably because they knew everything.
It was not until they saw who was coming that they opened their eyes wide in surprise.
