Before Chi Ling'er even entered the door, she heard Old Madam Chi about to give the things in her hands to Han Luoxue, which almost made her faint with anger.
She knew it; Chi Qiao'er was a menace.
As soon as she appeared, my luck got worse and worse. Why wasn't this jinx eaten by the wolves back then?
Chi Ling'er was annoyed, but she still had a smile on her face.
"Ling'er has come at the right time. Xue'er is already married and has children. As her grandmother, I can't show favoritism, can I?"
Upon hearing this, Chi Ling'er sensed something was wrong.
"Mom, there are still many things to do at the shop, I need to go and take care of them."
"Chi Ling'er, you're not even going to care about the things your mother has given to that wretched girl?"
When Chi Ling'er arrived, Chi Hongcai thought she could change Old Madam Chi's mind.
But who would have thought that she would run away after saying only one sentence?
The shop isn't doing much business right now, is it really necessary for her to run so fast?
"How Mother deals with her things is her business; as her daughter, it's none of my concern."
Chi Ling'er wished she could disappear on the spot. Old Madam Chi, watching her retreating figure, shouted loudly:
"You go ahead and do your work. Xue'er's dowry definitely needs to be made up. But we can't gather it all at once, so let's use Qingqing's share for now."
Chi Ling'er stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
She paused, her body stiffening.
"Chi Ling'er, why aren't you leaving? Didn't you say you had things to do at the shop?"
Chi Ling'er: This idiot, this is the first time she has realized that Chi Hongcai is such an idiot.
Why did she run away? How could this idiot not know?
"Ling'er, you go ahead and do your work. Don't worry about the dowry. With the steward's help, nothing will go wrong."
Madam Chi frowned deeply. She felt that the dowry alone wasn't enough. How much money had they spent on Chi Qingqing over the years?
But Qiao'er's children didn't spend a single penny of their money. She was determined to make it up to them.
"Mother, Qingqing is of marriageable age now. If you give all her dowry to that dead... Han Luoxue, how will Qingqing get married in the future?"
"Without a dowry, Qingqing will be unable to hold her head high in her husband's family. Isn't that inappropriate?"
"Mother, you've always loved Qingqing the most. You wouldn't want to see her lose face in her husband's family, would you?"
Chi Ling'er clenched her fists tightly. If she had known the old lady would have this idea, she should have...
Chi Ling'er concealed the coldness in her eyes. With these two old folks in the house, she would never be in charge or have any say in the family.
If it weren't for the two of them, Sixiu Pavilion would be entirely hers, and who would dare to touch Qingqing's dowry?
"She has you as her mother, right? Just prepare another one for her."
"By the way, Qiao'er's youngest daughter is not young anymore, so when you prepare, please buy two portions."
Chi Ling'er: I can't take it anymore.
“Mother, this dowry can’t be prepared in just a few days. Some things are hard to find. I’ve been preparing Qingqing’s dowry for her for over ten years. Don’t you think this is appropriate for Han Luoxue?”
Chi Ling'er tried her best not to show her dissatisfaction.
"What's inappropriate about it? Alright, it's settled then. Ling'er, thank you for your hard work."
Chi Ling'er wanted to argue, but Old Madam Chi had already sent someone to find the steward; she wanted to go to the storeroom herself.
This is intolerable!
No one saw that Chi Ling'er's eyes were bloodshot as she looked at Old Madam Chi's back, as if she had been poisoned.
That old man only has that short-lived bastard in his heart.
Chi Qiao'er, you haven't even gone home yet, and you're already taking everything I've worked so hard to prepare. How can you be so cruel?
The Chi family and Sixiu Pavilion are all mine; you can't take them away!
However, what Chi Ling'er didn't know was that Yunniang didn't care about Sixiu Pavilion at all. The reason she learned embroidery was because she was angered by Yunniang.
...
Han Luoxue returned to her small home, which was a nice place to stay.
Her courtyard was quiet, and the maids were all busy and rarely lingered around her.
She continued drawing, eager to build her hot spring resort and the vast orchard.
"lady……"
Hearing the shout, Han Luoxue looked up and found it was someone from the shop.
"Something happened at the store?"
Although it was the opening day, Han Luoxue only stayed for a little over an hour. She was pregnant and preferred quiet.
"It's the old lady of the Chi family..."
Upon hearing about the Chi family, Han Luoxue frowned unhappily:
"not see."
Didn't she and Chi Hongcai make things clear? What is Old Madam Chi doing here again?
Last time, he kept bothering me because of Chi Qingqing, and now he's here to demand justice for her son?
"Madam, why don't you go and take a look?"
The servant hesitated for a moment, unsure of what to say. If they were just there to cause trouble, they could simply chase them away. But Old Madam Chi wasn't there to cause trouble.
Now, a crowd has gathered outside their shop. They aren't Han Luoxue, and they can't help her deal with it.
Let's go!
Han Luoxue knew that letting the Chi family know she was there would inevitably lead to them causing trouble. But who could have imagined they would arrive so quickly?
"I will make it clear to them that they cannot come to the store to cause trouble in the future."
Servant: It seems the madam has misunderstood, but he really doesn't know how to explain. If it's just trouble, he'd rather it be this kind of trouble, with people coming to cause trouble every day.
Han Luoxue had anticipated that Old Madam Chi and the others would pester her relentlessly. She had even devised a plan: to give them a good scolding, then drive them away, and from then on, they would go their separate ways. Regardless of whether they would reunite with her mother, she would never acknowledge them.
