But I didn't expect that the General's Mansion could really come up with five thousand taels in one go. Well, you return the money to me in one go, and we will never go there again. ”
"Why should I pay you back?"
Fu Hengyu stood up and looked at the people around him with some grievance.
"I admit... when I was not at home, whether it was the household expenses or the upbringing of my brother and sister, it was all from your hands, but you asked me for five thousand taels right away. Isn't this a bit too outrageous?"
"Five thousand taels?"
Because of this number, everyone started talking about it again.
"Shen's daughter, your uncle has watched you grow up. You used to have a very good temper. Although you may have had some disagreements with the general, you shouldn't have done so. Wouldn't these five thousand taels cost the general his life?"
"Even if the general is currently serving in the capital, I'm afraid that five thousand taels...can't be gathered up in a short time."
Everyone thought that Shen Yuerong was deliberately making things difficult for Fu Hengyu.
Fu Hengyu was now somewhat confident, "Rong'er, you don't regret it, do you? You regret parting with me, and you want to come back with me. Don't worry, the divorce agreement between you and me has been kept at home, and has never been given to anyone else, let alone reported. As long as you are willing to come back, you will still be the lady of my general's mansion, and my legal wife."
Shen Yuerong didn't want to waste time talking to him, and she felt that such remarks were nonsense.
"If I didn't want to divorce you, I wouldn't have spent money to renovate the old Shen family house so early. If I didn't want to divorce you, I naturally wouldn't have calculated all the expenses between you and me over the years."
Shen Yuerong took out the details she had written long ago.
"Don't you all think that the five thousand taels between him and me are too expensive? Then I will let you all take a good look at where the five thousand taels were spent?"
"You and I got married, and you left that night. The next morning, your mother took three hundred taels from me on the pretext of helping the family."
"On the same day, your sister and brother each took fifty taels from me..."
…
"I felt sorry for the hard times in the general's mansion, so I used my dowry of fifty taels of silver to buy a shop and open a store to support the family."
Shen Yuerong only read about ten or so.
And the cost was nearly one hundred taels of silver.
Not to mention the miscellaneous expenses in the past three years.
"Also... when I married you, my dowry included the things my father prepared for me, the dowry from my grandfather's family, and the things awarded by the palace. Now all of these have long been gone. Apart from the few plots of land my father bought for me a long time ago, there are only a few properties from my grandfather's family that have not been lost. The other items have almost disappeared. Tell me... where did those things go?"
"You don't think highly of your own dowry, so how would I know? Besides, aren't all these expenses for the family? Now that the family has opened a shop, life has become better, and you have also enjoyed it."
Shen Yuerong looked at his face and snorted coldly.
"I enjoyed it? What did I enjoy? It was me who stayed up day and night just to make the accounts clearer! It was me who inspected the shop every day, fearing that the managers were doing one thing in secret and another in public. It was me who brought up your unruly siblings and damaged their reputation. It was me who was filial to your mother-in-law and served her by her bedside!"
At that time, Shen Yuerong had just married into another family and had not been raised by her mother since childhood. There were many things she didn't know how to deal with.
She could only listen to the old lady's words in everything, but that period of time was the darkest time that Shen Yuerong had ever experienced.
"I did all these things with my own hands. What about you? What are you doing on the frontier? Yesterday, Aunt Du's brother came to my house, and I learned that you have been entangled with her for three years. Even in front of Aunt Du's family, she is your wife, and I am the culprit who destroyed your family!"
By the end of her speech, Shen Yuerong felt like she was having a hard time breathing.
The person in front of her was such a waste of her feelings.
Now it's getting more and more entangled.
"I am willing to accept all the evil things you have done, the injustice, disloyalty and injustice towards me. I am willing to divorce you just to make you and Aunt Du happy. But why do I become the sinner now?"
Her words aroused the suppressed pain in the hearts of the women who were standing by and watching the joke.
Who hasn't watched her husband having fun every day?
Their hearts were filled with resentment, and they all looked at Fu Hengyu standing in the crowd with hatred.
Fu Hengyu felt something was wrong. His eyes fell on the woman who was about to skin him alive. "What are you going to do?"
He realized belatedly that he was about to fall into a wolf's den.
"I'm telling you, I'm a general of the current dynasty, a fifth-rank official. If you dare to hurt me, I'll report you all to the government tomorrow."
Ordinary people naturally did not dare to make things difficult for him, but that did not mean they would believe what he just said.
"You shameless man, you were the one who let Miss Shen down first, and then you secretly married another woman. You took advantage of everything, and even used the woman's dowry to support yourself. You are such a shameless man!"
"Isn't it? How many men are supported by women's dowries?"
As a nine-foot-tall man, how can he not support his family with his own hands, and even waste another woman's dowry in vain.
"She willingly let me spend that money. You people don't know anything, so don't talk nonsense!"
"Willingly?"
Qi Bo walked out of the door and looked at him with a pair of narrow eyes. "How come I don't know what it means to be willing? General, why don't you tell me what it means to be willing?"
When he was entangled with Shen Yuerong, Fu Hengyu was most afraid of the man in front of him.
At this moment, he took two steps back, fearing that the axe in his hand would be placed on his neck in the next second.
"Qi Bo, back then, she and I were in love, and these dowries were also bought for her by the Shen family and sent to my general's mansion. Naturally, it is not impossible for us to spend them. But now you want me to return them. Isn't this a bit too much of a pipe dream?"
This is a matter of love between man and woman and marriage.
People have always valued the words of matchmakers and the orders of parents.
But the feelings between them are extremely deep.
Qi Bo placed the axe in his hand on his shoulder and looked at the man in front of him with a cold expression.
"The dowry was given to your General's Mansion? You can spend it at will? Then my Shen family will become your general's mansion's maiden family, doesn't that mean my Shen family can also be controlled by you at will?"
He looked at the person in front of him, and his heart grew colder.
When Shen Yuerong brought the person in front of them, they had a feeling that the person in front of them was a little different.
He did say a few words to Shen Yuerong a few times, but gradually seeing that her mood was unstable, he did not ask again.
If I had known that Fu Hengyu would become what he is today, I would never have let him go so easily.
"I'm warning you for the last time. Pay me the money quickly and don't come to my Shen family to make trouble again, otherwise I will also let your general's mansion be sued! This is under the feet of the emperor of the capital, I want to see if there is any reason to find it."
