Lin's mother continued, "I know a lot more than I think. I advise your Marquis's mansion to obediently hand over my daughter and two children, and give us ten thousand taels of silver as compensation, otherwise..."
"Let's fight to the death!"
Lin's mother was shameless; she asked for ten thousand taels of silver right off the bat.
The old lady felt dizzy, but tried to remain calm, saying, "Ten thousand taels is too much."
Wow, that's really bold of you!
She had long hated Lin Yaoyao, and if Lin Yaoyao hadn't suddenly rushed out at the family reunion banquet, none of this would have happened.
Now, her parents have suddenly reappeared from who-knows-where.
Damn it!
I'll kill them sooner or later.
"Prostitutes cost money. My daughter was a virgin when she went with Prince Song. It was three years, not three days!" Madam Lin sneered, taking full advantage of the Marquis's family's desire for face.
“My daughter may have made mistakes, but your grandson isn’t exactly a clean person either.”
"I heard that your Marquis's mansion uses gold and silver utensils for meals. You all look so respectable, yet you can't even come up with ten thousand taels? Your Marquis's mansion has no money?"
"Persuading Miss Shen to go back, I'm afraid he's after her money."
Lin's mother is straightforward and speaks bluntly.
It goes straight to the Marquis's most painful point.
The old lady gritted her teeth: "Our Marquis's mansion is rich, we won't use our granddaughter-in-law's dowry."
Shen Zhiyi gave a slight sneer.
“Grandmother!” Song Ruoying frowned.
The Marquis's mansion may look glittering on the outside, but it doesn't actually have that much money.
The gifts given to Shen Zhiyi were made with the dowry money left by her mother, since her mother was already in prison.
This ten thousand taels will probably be used up by my grandmother's savings for her funeral.
"Shut up!" The old lady knew all too well the Hou family's predicament, but for now, she could only appease these two unruly commoners. Later... she would definitely send someone to kill these two worthless bastards!
They dared to assassinate and threaten her.
She had never suffered like this in her life.
His face turned pale, then bluish.
Seeing the old lady hesitate, Lin's mother slumped to the ground again, crying out, "Heavens above! The Marquis's son slept with my daughter and now he's denying it! Is there any justice left?"
The old lady was so angry she almost fainted.
Shen Zhiyi stood to one side, trying hard to suppress her laughter.
He was holding it in so hard that his face turned bright red.
Xiao Zhongxuan stood to one side, staring at her, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"I'll send someone to arrange accommodations for you first, and the people and money will be sent to you later." The old lady forced a smile from the corner of her mouth.
"No need, we'll just wait at the entrance of the Duke's mansion." Lin's father pulled his wife and sat down at the entrance of the Duke's mansion.
"You people..." The old lady almost fainted from anger.
“I’m afraid your Marquis’s mansion will renege on its debts and kill me to cover it up. It’s safer for me to stay here at the Duke’s mansion.”
The old lady had this idea, but at this point she had no choice but to look at Shen Zhiyi.
"Don't stay at the gate. I'll have someone arrange accommodations for you inside the mansion." Shen Zhiyi also looked troubled. At this moment, too many people had gathered at the entrance of the Duke's mansion. If they stayed at the gate, it would definitely cause gossip.
The old lady took a deep breath and looked at Chen Zhiyi: "Good child, I've wronged you again."
"It's alright."
"So, are you still coming back to the manor with me?"
“Grandmother, you should go back first. My brother just returned to Beijing. I haven’t seen him for a long time, and I want to spend more time with him.”
The implication is that she's not leaving!
It's understandable that this happened. The old lady watched as a stream of gifts were moved into the Marquis's mansion, including gold, silver, jade, jewelry, and antiques, which added up to tens of thousands of taels of silver.
The items were originally intended to coax Shen Zhiyi back, but now that they've been moved into the Duke's mansion, there's no reason for them to go back.
result……
They lost both their wife and their army!
The people gossiped, "The Shen family's daughter is really soft-hearted. Just now she actually wanted to go back with the old lady of the Marquis's mansion. I think it's better for her to get a divorce."
"Song Shizi's deep affection is probably all an act."
"That old lady is shameless; she even knelt down and forced that young girl to comply."
...
There was much discussion, and the old lady's wishful thinking had completely failed. She had intended to kneel down and morally blackmail Shen Zhiyi, but she never expected to get herself into trouble.
——
On the way back to the manor, Song Ruoying noticed her grandmother's pale face and whispered, "Grandmother, are we really going to let Lin Yaoyao go back?"
"Otherwise what!"
The matter has escalated to such an extent that the only way to prevent it from escalating is to infiltrate the Duke's mansion and kill Lin Yaoyao's parents.
That's the Duke's mansion! Who would dare to go there and kill someone?
"Lin Yaoyao knows too many secrets of the Marquis's mansion. If she were to meet Shen Zhiyi, she would definitely spout nonsense..."
"I have my own way."
A cold, sharp glint flashed in the old woman's eyes.
When she returned to the Marquis's residence, Song Yuxiu was already waiting in the courtyard. "Grandmother, where is Shen Zhiyi? Why didn't she come back with you?"
The old lady was seething with anger. If it weren't for her grandson getting entangled with Lin Yaoyao, she wouldn't have caused such a mess, making her lose all face!
She raised her hand and slapped him across the face!
Song Yuxiu staggered, nearly falling: "Grandmother?"
"Damn it, if we miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to coax Shen Zhiyi back in the future."
Today's incident happened right in front of the Duke's mansion. Shen Jingchuan must have already heard about it. Unless Shen Zhiyi is truly so devoted to her grandson that she's willing to die, otherwise...
It seems like a divorce is inevitable!
Thinking about everything that had happened today, he felt his brain congested with blood, and he was so angry that he vomited a mouthful of blood and fainted.
**
Zhenguo Duke's Mansion
Lin Yaoyao's parents, having changed into clean clothes under the arrangement of the maid, were led into Chen Zhiyi's courtyard, where she was still grinding flower petals to make rouge.
The couple knelt before her, asking, "Miss Chen, we have done as you said. Will they really release our daughter safely?"
