Chapter 474: Complaint and Decision
"You, what kind of logic is this! This is robbery! It's robbery! Zhao Liya, are you a robber?" Mrs. Zhou Er was so angry that she was almost speechless.
Zhao Liya remained unmoved. She raised her eyelids and glanced at Madam Zhou Er. A smile curled her lips, but it didn't reach her eyes. She stood up and slowly walked over to Madam Zhou Er. She leaned close to Madam Zhou Er and whispered in a barely perceptible voice, "Second Aunt, it's better to be a robber openly than to frame someone for murder. What do you think?"
Mrs. Zhou Er's heart trembled, and the anger on her face froze slightly. Although the matter had not been accomplished, she still felt a little guilty in her heart.
Then Zhao Liya smiled and raised her voice again, "Second Aunt, this isn't robbery. I told you it's just temporary safekeeping! What's yours is yours after all. After the registration is done, you can just look at everything one by one. There's no doubt that nothing will be missing!"
Mrs. Zhou Er glared at her fiercely, but she knew in her heart that this little bitch had always been arrogant and unreasonable. Since she said so, no matter how dissatisfied and angry she was, it would not change anything.
This is the courtyard of the Crown Prince's wife, and she can't do anything to her.
"Hmph!" Mrs. Zhou Er turned and left with a cold face.
Lian Ma said, "Madam, the Second Madam will not give up. I'm afraid she will go to the old lady to make the decision."
Zhao Liya chuckled: "The old lady has been supporting and protecting them for a long time. She will naturally help them make the decision, but, so what?"
Everyone has already torn their faces apart, and all that remains is a thin layer of window paper. Who is afraid of whom?
If it were in the past, Zhao Liya might have had to give them some face, but now that they were able to murder someone and frame them, she really wouldn't give them even a shred of dignity.
The worst that could happen is a falling out.
Nanny Lian didn't know about this, so she said this.
Zhao Liya's answer made her stunned, and she smiled: "This old slave will always listen to the prince's wife."
She was a smart person and vaguely guessed that there was probably something she didn't know, but since her masters didn't say anything, she just pretended she didn't know.
Zhao Liya nodded and smiled: "In that case, Madam, have someone take these two boxes down to register them."
"yes."
Zhao Liya was right. Mrs. Zhou Er had come to ask for her belongings, but was met with rebuff. How could she possibly accept that? The belongings in those two large boxes were all valuable items she had carefully selected. Most of her life savings were stored there.
How could she trust Zhao Liya's words?
In her opinion, that was just an excuse!
That little bitch must be trying to keep all her property for herself.
Although the little bitch is definitely not short of money, who in this world would complain about having too much money?
Mrs. Zhou Er was extremely anxious, as if if she ran a step slower, all the money would be spent by Zhao Liya.
"Madam! Madam! You have to make the decision for your daughter-in-law! That little bitch from Zhengmingyuan doesn't even take me, your second aunt, seriously. She's so greedy!"
Old Mrs. Zhou's eyelids twitched violently at her crying and she couldn't help but frown: "What are you doing? Why did you provoke her again?"
Old Madam Zhou was dissatisfied, secretly sighing that none of these two people were worry-free. If it was in the past, it would be fine, but something like that had just happened in Beiyuan, and Zhao Liya had escaped. Now the relationship between the two sides was at its most tense, and she still went to provoke others. Isn't this asking for trouble?
At this time, it’s a good thing that Zhao Liya and the others don’t come to cause trouble.
Although Mrs. Zhou has a high opinion of herself and is very conceited, it must be said that she is more aware of the times and has more self-knowledge than her two sons and daughters-in-law.
Mrs. Zhou Er cried and complained, telling the whole story.
"What did you say! You—" Mrs. Zhou's vision went dark, and she almost fainted from anger. "You are so confused! You are so confused! How could you be so stupid!"
Mrs. Zhou Er didn't like what she heard. "Old lady, I just followed your advice..."
"Shut up!" She dared to shirk responsibility, which made Old Madam Zhou even more furious. "I told you to pack up your belongings, transport them, and hide them, but did I let you do that so brazenly? You're asking for an investigation, aren't you? You're asking for an investigation, idiot! What an idiot!"
Being called a "fool" by her mother-in-law in person, Mrs. Zhou Er was so embarrassed and angry that her face turned purple. She suppressed her shame and anger and tried to explain: "How could I know that the servants in this mansion had become so lawless? They dared to check the boxes of me, the Second Lady?"
Not only did they dare to investigate, they also dared to forcibly arrest her! And they even dared not give her face when she personally showed up!
Old Madam Zhou closed her eyes. "What's so unexpected about this? What kind of person is Zhao? Don't you know it even now?"
Mrs. Zhou Er hung her head in guilt.
It's not that she doesn't know, she's just trying to get lucky!
After all, since they hadn't openly torn each other's faces, who could deny each other face? It was perfectly normal for her, the Second Lady, to take something out of the house. Who knew—
It’s too late to say anything now!
"Old lady, please help your daughter-in-law! We can't let that little bitch Zhao get away with it for nothing!"
That's true.
In any case, the big house cannot be given a free ride.
Mrs. Zhou asked, "How much stuff do you have in there?"
Mrs. Zhou Er had no choice but to tell the truth with a guilty conscience.
"You!" Old Mrs. Zhou became even more angry.
This is really good!
It was only then that she realized her daughter-in-law was actually so rich! She was so rich, yet she always cried poor in front of her. Ha! She must have taken her for a fool!
Old Mrs. Zhou was so angry that she didn't know why.
What kind of children and young people does she have? I'm afraid none of them truly care about her.
Only when they needed her would they run to her and cry. Whenever they came to her, it was always to ask for some benefit.
But, can she just ignore it?
Especially since this matter involves so much money and property, she can't just ignore it!
If she didn't care, wouldn't all that wealth be lost to Zhao Liya and the others? This made her even more upset!
Choose the lesser of two evils. There's no other way.
To be honest, Mrs. Zhou is quite pitiful.
"Go and call Zhao! No, forget it, I'll go there myself!" said Old Mrs. Zhou, pinching her nose.
If I call Zhao Liya over, given her rogue and arrogant personality, she will definitely dodge the question and make excuses. I'm already old and don't have the energy to play Tai Chi with her.
It would be better to go there in person. Humph, does she dare not give me face?
