"Yes, sir!"
Ah Cai took a few brothers and a few servants to count the things.
Liu and Wang Yuyan panicked instantly.
"Don't take it, it's mine. What right do you idiots have to touch my things?"
"My Nanmu, my white jade bottle! Liu Mingyu, please make them stop!"
The wife of the prefect found her jumping up and down funny.
This is the eldest legitimate sister.
He usually puts on airs, always talking about the difference in status between legitimate and illegitimate children, and looks down on her in every way.
Now I'm like a monkey
She sneered and said, "The doctor just said that when you become successful in the future, please let our family get out of the way. He also said that we are not even worthy of carrying your shoes."
"I think that's quite true."
"Since we've split up, we should settle everything so as not to leave any evidence that could be used against us in the future."
"Someone, take the clothes off this little bitch!"
Wang Yuyan panicked instantly. While dodging the two old maids, she shouted at Chen Yonggu, "Erlang, have you forgotten what you just said? How can I take back the things you gave me?"
Under normal circumstances, Chen Yonggu would not have done such a thing.
But now, I feel inexplicably happy, just a little bit irritating to the eyes.
The wife of the prefect said: "My son said that he doesn't care. After all, we can't possibly want anything worn by a bitch like you."
"But the things are for my future daughter-in-law. We should take them back because you, a bitch, cheated and took them away!"
"Take all the stuff off me, including the headdress. After you've calculated the amount, send it directly to the pawnshop. Use the silver bills you exchange for to distribute porridge to the people outside the city. We can't let these cheap people get away with our things!"
Wang Yuyan screamed and cried loudly, while Liu could only stare blankly at the side.
The servants stopped only when Wang Yuyan was stripped down to her underwear.
Wang Yuyan folded her arms and sat on the ground, crying.
The wife of the prefect did not forget to hold Chen Yonggu's hand and warned him: "You have to see clearly, bitches are all of the same character. When you look for a wife in the future, you must open your eyes."
He nodded seriously: "Don't worry, mother, your son will never make you worry again!"
After a while, Acai brought people back to report.
Everything that deserves to be recovered is recovered.
The total amount of silver that had been used as gifts and to pay off debts was 78,351 taels.
After the prefect stamped his seal, he drove the man out of the house and waved the IOU in his hand at the gate:
"We are relatives after all, so I won't do anything too harsh. I'll give you a small portion of the 70,000 taels of silver, and you can pay the rest back in three years."
"Twenty thousand taels of silver per year, and an extra ten thousand taels in the first three months, which is just right for three years."
"If you can't pay it back, I have a solution. See this?"
He took out a box.
Inside are the deeds and land that the old lady gave to the eldest son's wife.
At the beginning, the old lady was afraid that the old family would become restless, so she wanted to leave them some foundation. She didn't expect that it would come in handy at this time.
The prefect smiled and said, "I'll keep these land deeds and shop deeds with me for now. If you can pay them back in three years, I'll return them to you. If you can't pay them back, you can use these to pay off the debt."
Liu had been staring at these things for a long time, but the old man refused to give them to her.
I didn't expect it to be in the hands of my concubine's family.
She was so jealous that her face turned black. "You old thing, you didn't give the things to us when your eldest son died, but gave them to your second son. I can see that you don't care about your eldest son at all. Your eldest son was killed by you!"
The prefect heard her cursing her elder brother and her mother.
He immediately raised his hand and prepared to attack.
But before he could do anything, the lady beside him rushed over and slapped Liu hard in the face.
Wang Yuyan screamed, but she was still naked and didn't care about Liu's life or death.
Liu covered her face, shaking in disbelief: "You, you bitch, how dare you hit me?"
"What's wrong with hitting you?"
"If you hadn't been dissatisfied with my eldest brother's slow promotion and forced him, a civilian official, to fight bandits, would he have been injured and died?"
"After my eldest brother passed away, every time you needed money, you came to Mother and me. We always gave you what you wanted. You even took away half of Mother's dowry. You treated your own daughter like this. How could you say that to her?"
"How dare you, such an unkind, unjust, and unfilial person, speak so brazenly at the gate of Shuntian Mansion?"
The people around also started chattering.
"The prefect is such a nice person, and the old lady is also a nice person. She even gives out porridge on weekdays. How could she say that?"
"That's right. Last time my son had a fever, the old lady saw it when she went to get medicine and even paid for it. She's such a kind person, and this evil woman actually cursed others!"
"My master is familiar with her husband's Dalang. He said at the beginning that Dalang was good in every way except for his bad luck, marrying such a wife. Now it seems...tsk tsk tsk, what bad luck!"
Liu's face turned red from the crowd's saliva.
Wang Yuyan kept crying beside her, which made her very upset.
She was so angry that she slapped Wang Yuyan in the face and cursed: "Cry, cry, cry, you useless thing, what else do you know besides crying? Why did our family find a jinx like you? Why don't you help me up?"
Wang Yuyan herself was also very embarrassed. She moved over reluctantly and was about to help Liu up when she was slapped down by her.
"What are you dithering about? You can't even get anything done, you loser!"
Wang Yuyan was fanned onto the stairs and accidentally bumped into something.
Suddenly, she curled up into a ball, clutching her stomach and crying, "It hurts, mother-in-law, it hurts!"
"Why are you pretending? Come here now!"
Wang Yuyan's body twisted even more violently.
At this moment, an elderly woman watching the show suddenly shouted, "Oh, she's seeing blood! This woman is seeing blood, is she having a miscarriage?"
The prefect and his wife looked at each other, and Liu was stunned.
She just took out the money from her mother-in-law and vented her anger. How could she have a miscarriage?
Mrs. Liu panicked, tumbling to her feet and retreating hastily: "It has nothing to do with me. It's all her fault. It's her fault that she can't have a child."
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and leave. This is really unlucky!"
Liu ran away quickly with the servants around her.
Wang Yuyan stretched out her hand towards her, but watched helplessly as she saw the person disappear, and a surge of hatred surged in her heart.
Chen Yonggu had never seen such a scene before, and said in confusion, "What should we do now? It's not auspicious to let someone die at the door."
The lady rolled her eyes and cursed in her heart.
"Come here, send her to the Chen family next door and ask a doctor to take a good look at her."
"Our family will pay for the medical treatment, and we can put an end to a bad relationship!"
