Chapter 60 Turning Against Each Other
Ye Yunyi's eyes reddened with anger, but she also knew that time was of the essence and this was not the time to argue about right and wrong.
Despite her weak legs, she ran all the way back to her room.
"Quickly, go to the storeroom and sort out Shen Yuanzhu's dowry, then send it to her courtyard."
"Also, Mama Qian, go to my makeup box and take out all the agarwood beads and Ji Zhiyi's things."
"Madam, what has happened?"
After being briefed in a few words, Ye Yunyi frantically searched through her wardrobe.
“All that cloth has been made into clothes, how am I supposed to give it back to her?”
"Go, go to Shen's shop and get a batch of cloth. Tell them you need it urgently, put it on my tab, and tell the people in the shop not to tell Yanhuai."
"No, that's not enough. I remember there was also a coral hairpin, where is it?"
Granny Qian said, "Last time your uncle came, you gave it to his wife..."
"What?"
Ye Yunyi burst into tears.
"Then let's find one, no, let's replace all of these, all of these new ones."
She casually grabbed three hairpins and two top hairpins. Ye Yunyi hesitated for a moment with a pang of heartache, but then gritted her teeth and poured out everything in the makeup box.
Over the years, she has taken too many things from the warehouse and Shen Yuanzhu; she can't even remember what she has taken or how much she has taken.
If she didn't want to give this Shenyuan Pearl to her, she could have clearly said so when she took it in the past.
But she refused to accept it. She insisted on waiting until today to make her lose face and leave her with no place to stand in the entire Suzhou Prefecture!
Thinking of the consequences if Shen Yanhuai found out, Ye Yunyi pushed everything forward fiercely: "Except for the things my husband gave me and the things I usually wear and use, all the other new things, which are 80 or 90 percent new, should be put into her dowry."
"Also, Mama Wu and Mama He, come with me to the Second Miss's room."
Looking at the almost empty room, Ye Yunyi's face twitched.
Shen Yuanqiong thought she could escape? What a fool!
Directing the people in the room to send these things to the storeroom and pack them one by one into Shen Yuanzhu's dowry chest, Ye Yunyi led her maids and servants to Shen Yuanqiong's courtyard in a menacing manner.
What are you doing?
Shen Yuanqiong and her maid blocked the doorway, preventing everyone from entering.
"Push it, and if you can't push it, smash it."
Half of the ladies and young women from the chamber of commerce were in the backyard. Although those large items could last for a while, Ye Yunyi didn't know how many other things she couldn't possibly replace.
If there were too many, she would have to think of other solutions, and she simply didn't have time to waste on Shen Yuanqiong.
Shen Yuanqiong was surrounded by young maids, but she couldn't keep up with the burly old women.
In a few quick movements, Wu's mother pushed the door open, and Shen Yuanqiong was thrown to the ground.
"Search for her, take all of the young lady's belongings."
The two old women exchanged a glance, unable to distinguish which were Shen Yuanqiong and which were Shen Yuanzhu.
Now that the matter is urgent and there is no time to argue, I just grabbed everything I saw.
Shen Yuanqiong stepped forward and pressed down on Wu's mother's hand: "These are all my own things, who dares to touch them?"
"What time is it? You still haven't broken free from that greedy habit?"
Ye Yunyi's eyes reddened with anger.
Seeing Shen Yuanqiong struggling with her, Ye Yunyi raised her hand and slapped her across the face.
"Are you crazy? Who do you think I'm doing this for?"
"If you don't return Shen Yuanzhu's things to her today, and the ladies of the merchant guild find out that you stole the deceased mistress's belongings and your elder sister's dowry, do you still want your face and reputation?"
"Do you still want to arrange a marriage in Suzhou Prefecture in the future?"
"You used to put on airs and crane your neck, acting like some kind of noble lady, just to find a good match and outshine Shen Yuanzhu."
"What's gotten into you today? If word gets out that you stole your elder sister's dowry, not only will you be able to put Chen Yuanzhu in her place, but you'll never be able to hold your head up in front of her or in the entire Suzhou Prefecture for the rest of your life!"
As she watched the endless stream of things being carried out, Ye Yunyi's hands stopped trembling so badly.
"How dare you talk to me like that?"
Shen Yuanqiong got up from the ground, pointed at Ye Yunyi's nose and said: "You are from a poor family and you are short-sighted. Aren't all of Shen Yuanzhu's things stolen by you and put here with me?"
"You were afraid your brother would find out, so you wanted to put a pot of shit on both of their heads to share the mess of shit on your head..."
"Now what are you pretending to me for, this time to play the part of someone of noble character?"
"If it weren't for that short-lived Ji Zhiyi, who had no intention of finding a good wife for my brother, you wouldn't even be worthy of carrying my brother's shoes!"
Shen Yuanqiong's words struck a chord with Ye Yunyi.
The once inseparable sisters-in-law are now locked in a vicious argument, shouting insults at each other.
After Aunt Wu, Aunt He, and the others emptied Shen Yuanqiong's room and left in a hurry, Shen Yuanqiong sat on the ground and burst into tears.
She did take some of the Shenyuan Pearl and Ji Zhiyi's things, but most of it was what she had saved up little by little over the years.
"Miss……"
Yuanqiong's maids were terrified at the sight, and could only burst into tears, unable to do anything else.
"Madam, Second Miss..."
"What second young lady? Who has the mind to care about her now?"
Ye Yunyi wiped the sweat from her brow, her eyes filled with anxiety: "Before lunch, make sure everything is packed and delivered to Shen Yuanzhu's courtyard."
