Jiang Qingyao was happy when the people in Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion were unhappy. She glanced at Jiang Yisong who was muttering to himself and asked, "Why?"
"Maybe I'm more likable."
The people in Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion hated her so much, but His Majesty rewarded her.
Hearing this, Jiang Yisong felt like someone had hit him hard in the chest, and he had trouble breathing.
Madam Jiang's breathing became chaotic, and she coughed violently a few times. Her age had thickened her skin, and she said tentatively, "Qingyao, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. How can family hold grudges?"
"Quick, return the document to Grandmother. We will go and ask the elders to have you added to the family tree. You will still be the legitimate daughter of our Ningyuan Earl's Mansion, okay?"
Jiang Qingyao simply replied, "Not good."
She could see the calculation and greed on Mrs. Jiang's face. They were always like this. When she was useful, she was a member of the family. When she was no longer useful, they would beat her to death at will.
"Who is your family?"
"How did you treat me when I was threatened and humiliated by Prince An?"
"Beat to death with clubs? Throw into a pig cage? Burn to death?"
She remembered every word they had spoken.
"I don't dare to have such a family. I still want to live."
What a bad karma, such a bad temper.
Old Madam Jiang's face turned pale and she trembled as she was about to raise her cane to hit her.
Zhitao, Ning, Chulu picked up the stick and protected it in front of Jiang Qingyao, as if saying "Try to touch her."
Jiang Qingyao said nonchalantly, "My mother, Xue, left me this dowry. You must quickly count it out. Don't leave a single cent behind."
"As for the account books of those manors and shops over the years, I've read them all and recorded them all. I know exactly how much profit they've made. Don't even think about falsifying them. Every penny will be settled."
"Buzz".
It was like a blow to the head of every person in Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion.
Madam Jiang's entire body paled. "You, you're trying to take our lives... You debt collector, you're a traitor..."
Jiang Yisong was in a mess. They didn't know how much of Xue's dowry they had spent over the years. Now they were asked to pay it back. How could they pay it back?
She wanted them to spit it all out!
Jiang Xize and the others were so frightened that they were at a loss as to what to do.
Seeing the elders all look pale, Jiang Shuning realized the seriousness of the matter, "Jiang Qingyao, how could you do this?"
Jiang Yunxue: "You are so heartless. Our Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion has raised you for so many years, and you are such an ungrateful person."
Jiang Qingyao's eyes turned cold, "Support me?"
"It's really funny. Madam Jiang and Uncle are eager to burn me to death every day, cursing and mistreating me. My stepmother is unkind, and my brothers and sisters are scheming against each other. Do you want this kind of life for you?"
Jiang Shuning and the others knew all this very well. Even if they knew it in their hearts, they still wanted to deceive themselves and righteously accused Jiang Qingyao.
Jiang Qingyao: "Also, you said one thing wrong."
"My mother left me a generous dowry. I could have lived a life a hundred times better than this. It's not the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion that supports me, it's my mother's money that supports your whole family of vampires. You are ungrateful and shameless!"
She and her mother did not owe the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion anything; it was the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion that owed them.
The clear voice was resounding, like a slap in the face of the people in Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion.
She ruthlessly tore off the last piece of fig leaf, revealing the decay and filth of the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion.
Jiang Qingyao: "Taking back my mother's dowry is only natural."
Seeing Jiang Qingyao about to leave, Jiang Xize panicked like never before and started to speak without thinking: "Jiang Qingyao, you are so selfish! Vicious!"
Jiang Huanming was more sober than him, realizing that life was likely to be difficult. He said in a stern tone, "If you take away Xue's dowry, how will we live?"
His question made Jiang Qingyao laugh.
She paused, without turning back, and said coldly: "That's what you should think about, but I have an idea."
"The whole family is starving!"
"You...you..." Old Madam Jiang's heart choked and she fell down straight.
"Mother!"
"grandmother!"
The Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion was in chaos.
Jiang Qingyao had anticipated this day and had asked Xue Jingwen to find a house for her in advance.
The superficial harmony between her and the Ningyuan Marquis's family was completely shattered the night Prince An broke into Huajianju.
From now on, they will have nothing to do with each other. The Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion will be at their mercy, and she will go on her own path.
Huajianju was vacated.
Together with His Majesty's rewards, they were all moved to Jiang Qingyao's new courtyard.
For a moment, the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion was deserted and lonely, with a heavy atmosphere of depression.
Madam Jiang lay on the couch, unable to move her left hand and foot. She opened her mouth and asked, "How did the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion end up like this?"
Jiang Yisong lowered his head and said, "Mother, I don't believe that we can't survive without Xue's dowry." This was a slap in his face.
It is such a shame that a grown man has to rely on his dead wife's dowry to support his family.
"Besides, Jiang Qingyao doesn't know what Xue's dowry contains, so we can just find something worthless to fool her."
Old Madam Jiang nodded, she had the same idea.
She asked someone to take out Xue's dowry list and burned it in front of Jiang Yisong.
"Now we have no evidence at all. No one except me knows what Xue's dowry is."
"After so many years, even the Xue family probably only remembers it roughly."
A sinister look appeared on Madam Jiang's aged face. "If we hadn't needed money, we wouldn't have married that short-lived Xue and given birth to a useless Jiang Qingyao. She's such a traitor and has such a heartless heart. It's truly a sin."
"She can't even think of taking back Xue's dowry. Since Xue married into the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion, everything belongs to the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion."
Jiang Yisong didn't dare to refute. There was a law in Daxia that a man was not allowed to encroach on the woman's dowry, which was the woman's personal property.
Old Madam Jiang was filled with resentment. "Back then, Mrs. Xue gave birth to a daughter instead of a son for you. That was her greatest sin. If she were still alive, she would have offered her dowry and humbled herself in front of us!"
Jiang Yisong: "That's what my mother said."
…
Everyone has a gossipy heart, and the news that Jiang Qingyao moved out of the Ningyuan Earl's Mansion spread quickly.
"The Emperor rewarded Jiang Qingyao, but the Ningyuan Marquisate severed ties with her and removed her from the family tree? Has she lost her mind?"
"The future wife of the Marquis of Anguo has won the emperor's favor and has even been given a wedding dress. That's a treatment only a princess can have. They actually kicked out such a good eldest daughter. The Ningyuan Marquis's family is incredibly stupid."
The people in Shangjing City were talking about it.
Here, He Huaixuan asked the servant to return all the things that Jiang Qingyao had sent before, including the precious inkstone that he had smashed.
Firstly, he wanted to pretend to his father and grandmother that he didn't want to get entangled with Jiang Qingyao, and secondly, he wanted to remind Jiang Qingyao how much she cared about him.
In her previous life, she clearly only had him in her eyes and heart, but in this life, everything has changed. Why is that?
