Chapter 475: Escape Early
No matter what, she must be forced to vomit out what she has eaten.
Like Mrs. Zhou Er, Mrs. Zhou also believed that Zhao Liya wanted to embezzle the money.
"Yes, yes! Old lady!" Mrs. Zhou Er was overjoyed when she heard this. Now her property was finally settled.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law immediately went to Zhengmingyuan where Zhao Liya lived.
As soon as they left Heyuan, Zhao Liya, who had been paying attention to their movements, soon got the news.
Zhao Liya was very surprised.
The old lady is really getting more and more outgoing!
She had already prepared for Old Lady Zhou to send someone to call her over, but she was not prepared for the old lady to "condescend" and come in person.
This won't do.
There are so many eyes watching in the mansion. If Old Lady Zhou personally comes to her granddaughter-in-law's yard to "ask" for something, she, as the granddaughter-in-law, will have no way to refuse.
Zhao Liya's eyes rolled, and she stood up decisively, taking Nanny Lian, Chunfen and others to her mother-in-law, the people in the Duke of Liguo's mansion.
There was no other way. This matter had to be settled by the legitimate mistress of the Duke's Mansion.
My mother-in-law has to work hard again.
Zhao Liya felt quite guilty.
Lady Liguogong really likes Zhao Liya to chat with her to relieve her boredom, but her daughter-in-law seems to be a little bit off today?
"Ya'er, what happened?"
Lady Liguo was actually a little surprised, because her daughter-in-law was very capable and she had hardly ever seen her in any trouble.
"Mother, thank you for your help today." Zhao Liya told everything.
Lady Liguo was stunned when she heard this: "."
Then he said with a mixture of laughter and tears: "You are so bold! How could you blatantly take her things?"
Zhao Liya smiled a little embarrassedly. "I just think Second Aunt is going too far. They say they're one family, but they're secretly transferring assets. I don't know what they're up to. I'm more worried because they wouldn't do this for no reason. They probably have some bad ideas."
"So, I wanted to alert the enemy and test the waters."
The wife of Duke Liguo's expression gradually became solemn and she fell into deep thought.
Zhao Liya and Zhou Hansheng did not hide the murder incident in Beiyuan from Duke Liguo and his wife. As a family, it is natural for them to disclose such important matters to each other. Otherwise, they would never dream of being cheated by the second and third wives.
Zhao Liya's words had a hidden meaning, and Lady Liguo understood it.
"Mother knows your feelings. You have done well. This is what you deserve. Don't worry, I will take care of this matter."
"Thank you, mother!"
Zhao Liya was relieved now.
The wife of Duke Liguo smiled and then instructed Nanny Lian: "Go to Zhengming Courtyard, meet the old lady and the second lady, and invite them over."
Asking for something voluntarily and asking for it herself are two completely different things.
"Yes, ma'am!"
Old Madam Zhou rode in a sedan chair, accompanied by Mrs. Zhou Er and the maids and servants. The group headed straight for Zhengming Courtyard with murderous intent.
Unexpectedly, I came up empty-handed.
"The Crown Prince's wife isn't here? Oh, she was there just now when I came. How come she's gone now? Didn't the Crown Prince's wife hide on purpose? How dare she do that when the old lady is here!"
Chunxia bowed her head and smiled. "Second Madam, you're such a jokester. The Crown Prince's wife is in charge of the household expenses, and she's very busy on a daily basis. She went to see Madam, and it seems she has something to discuss with Madam. The Crown Prince has a rule that no one is allowed into the house when the masters are not around. We servants dare not disobey our masters' orders, or we will be punished. I'm so sorry, Old Madam, Second Madam, and please don't make things difficult for us."
Mrs. Tuesday glared at her fiercely.
Old Mrs. Zhou also snorted in displeasure.
But given her status, she really couldn't do anything like arguing with a little girl or a group of servants.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other, both unhappy. After coming all this way, were they just going to leave like this? This would be too disappointing and too aggrieved, right?
Mrs. Zhou Er couldn't help but sneer sarcastically: "Oh, she is smart and runs fast enough!"
Chunxia smiled and pretended to be deaf and dumb.
The Crown Prince's wife can go wherever she wants, who cares? The Second Lady only said a few words, but in reality, how could she do anything to the Crown Prince's wife?
"Old Madam, Second Madam, the Duke's wife wants to see you. What a coincidence! The old lady wants to come over. The Duke's wife is looking for you for something. She was originally going to go to Heyuan, but the old lady happened to be in a good mood and was out. So why not ask me to go with you?"
Nanny Lian happened to come over and was very polite in her conversation.
Old Mrs. Zhou thought that Zhao Liya was also with the Duke's wife, so she thought, since she was already here, she might as well go!
"You lead the way!"
"Yes, please, old lady!"
Mrs. Zhou Er looked at her with resentment and sneered repeatedly.
Lian Ma was given to Zhao Liya by the Duke's wife to serve her, and she's not a good person either! She's just as disgusting as Zhao Liya.
I don't know if Zhao Liya went to the Duke's wife intentionally or unintentionally. Well, let the good sister-in-law make the decision. Her daughter-in-law dared to seize the elders' property. Let's see what she says.
Everyone in the group had their own thoughts. When they arrived at the courtyard of the wife of Duke Liguo, before they even entered the house, they heard the laughter of the wife and Zhao Liya from inside. No one knew what they were saying, but it was so funny, and it was really irritating to listen to!
"Old lady, my second brother and his wife are here. Please take a seat. Furong, bring the tea. I'm not feeling well, so I'm just lying here. Please don't mind, old lady."
Lady Liguo nodded with a smile.
Zhao Liya had already stood up and greeted everyone.
Old Mrs. Zhou held her breath and waved her hand to show that she didn't mind, and expressed her concern for the Duke's wife.
After a few polite greetings, Mrs. Zhou didn't bother to pay attention to Zhao Liya anymore and went straight to the Duke's wife, explaining the matter briefly. Finally, she said, "Old lady, Zhao is young after all, and she is too willful and unreliable in her actions. How can a nephew's wife forcibly withhold her aunt's property? If this gets out, wouldn't it be laughed at? Are there any rules in our Duke's Mansion?"
Mrs. Zhou Er was furious and was about to speak when Old Lady Zhou gave her a cold warning look. Mrs. Zhou shut up in frustration and just glared at Zhao Liya fiercely.
Zhao Liya was very well-behaved in front of her mother-in-law. She sat at the bottom, "sanctimonious" and "virtuous", with her eyes lowered and she said nothing.
The Duke's wife smiled in surprise. "Is there such a thing? Is there some misunderstanding? Zhao has always been very thoughtful and considerate. Ever since she came into the family, she has managed everything perfectly, which has saved me a lot of worry. She is such a good child!"
