Zhou forced herself to suppress her anger. Fortunately, one of the three dowries was given to her youngest daughter.
Si Jinyi is still young, and it will take a few years for her to get married.
As for the old lady’s portion, I’m afraid we need to prepare some.
While she was still thinking, she heard Liu Fu's trembling voice say:
"Madam, this is... the wrong dowry list."
Si Jinxing was sitting next to the old lady. When she saw Liu Fu handing her a piece of paper, she took it and handed it to the old lady.
She glanced casually and saw that the paper was covered with more than ten or twenty lines of dense writing.
Oh, this Zhou really doesn't know how to live or die!
Her face turned pale, and she timidly muttered:
"With so many dowries gone wrong, if we carry them to the Ninth Prince's Palace like this, will the Emperor blame our General's Mansion for deceiving the Emperor?"
The old lady was startled when she heard this. Her granddaughter was right!
She had only thought about the shame of passing off inferior dowry as good quality, but she had forgotten that the Ninth Prince was a member of the royal family!
How could the royal family fail to recognize such a clumsy tactic!
She picked up the paper with trembling hands and looked at it carefully in the light of the fire. When she saw the contents on the paper clearly, she became more and more angry, and her face became frighteningly dark!
"Zhou!"
She stood up suddenly and slapped Zhou in the face!
The old lady hasn't hit anyone herself for a long time.
First, she had to consider her identity as the old lady of the general's mansion and behave in a dignified manner!
Second, beating someone is very tiring and your hands hurt!
But at this moment, she really hated Zhou!
She is so brave!
If she hadn't come here tonight, Zhou's plan would have succeeded!
Although she also felt heartbroken to return so much dowry to Si Jinxing.
But he was even more angry that Zhou dared to embezzle it and almost put the general's mansion in a situation of deceiving the emperor!
The slap was so strong that it pulled the old lady's waist!
She cried out "Ouch" and helped Mother Lu sit back in the chair.
She took a breath and said angrily:
"Well, in the past ten years, you have embezzled more than half of Lan's dowry! How dare you, Zhou!"
At this time, Zhou's bun was knocked off by the old lady, her hair was draped behind her head in a mess, and her fat face was flushed red!
When Si Jinyue and Si Jinyun saw their mother being beaten, they rushed over anxiously and called out for their mother.
Si Jinxing also looked over and saw the light of the torch burning brightly in Zhou's eyes!
It looks very scary, like a brown bear about to roar.
That’s right, it’s a brown bear!
Fat, strong and stupid, Zhou is fat, but also white. If his skin was darker, he would be a black bear.
Si Jinxing thought about this, and for some reason her imagination got a little wild, and suddenly she thought of this:
I don’t know how Si Jinhao and Si Jinyun, brother and sister, got their dark skin. Si Jinyun is a girl so her skin is a little better.
That Si Jinhao is really not much whiter than Lord Bao Gong.
Although Mr. Si's skin is rough, it is because he has been training soldiers outside for a long time and has been tanned and sunburned.
Now that he is injured and lying in bed, his skin has become much whiter.
Si Jinyue is actually whiter than her brother and sister, which is really strange.
Looking at Zhou's appearance at this moment, Si Jinxing didn't want to see her in a mess.
I just can't understand why there are so many extremely greedy people in this world.
Someone else's things are temporarily in your hands, and after a long time, you think that they are yours?
Just like in the future, if you rent a house for ten years, will the house become yours after ten years?
What kind of bullshit is this?
Zhou had been the mistress of the general's mansion for ten years. She had become accustomed to the feeling of being high and mighty and being flattered by the servants in the mansion.
Now he was slapped by the old lady in front of so many servants.
She was burning with rage, the anger in her chest was surging like a mountain and her broad shoulders were shaking uncontrollably.
She opened her scarlet eyes and glared at Si Jinxing for a moment, but then she knelt in front of the old lady and said with great sorrow:
"Mother, I was wrong. I was thinking that the General's Mansion was not well-off, and Hao'er would need a lot of money when he got married in the future.
My daughter-in-law was confused for a moment and wanted to embezzle the dowry. I will definitely make up the dowry to Xing'er, without any mistake!"
Zhou's tearful plea made the old lady think twice.
Yes, Si Jinxing is just a daughter-in-law who marries out. If she really marries the Ninth Prince, she will be of no help to the General's Mansion in the future!
But Hao'er is different. He is the first boy in the Si family and the only legitimate son!
If a legitimate son has a mother with a bad reputation, he will not be able to hold his head up in public!
How is this possible?
Therefore, Zhou cannot be accused of embezzling the former mistress's dowry!
I'm afraid that no wealthy family will be willing to marry their daughter into the family in the future. It's possible that even their daughter's dowry will be taken away by such a mother-in-law!
Si Jinxing raised an eyebrow and looked at the mother, daughter and two others kneeling in front of the old lady to beg for mercy. The old lady's complexion gradually recovered.
She could even escape this?
Seeing Zhou's humble appearance, I underestimated her ability to bend and stretch!
Si Jinxing had no choice but to express her opinion, sobbing and saying:
"Grandma, don't be angry!
I, your granddaughter, am willing to give one-third of the profits from the fifty shops over the past ten years to the public, and another 20% to Grandmother. I only ask that you forgive Mother!"
As soon as these words were spoken!
Everyone present was shocked!
Everyone only saw the dead things on the dowry list, but forgot that there were fifty shops included in the dowry!
Those shops make money every day!
