Chapter 476 Cao San

Madam Cao, who works in Wuyuan, lives a happy life and feels a sense of accomplishment every day.

On the other hand, things were not so peaceful at the Cao family.

After Cao San and Cao Niangzi met once, they felt uncomfortable everywhere.

I originally thought that if I snatched away her marriage, I would snatch away everything she had, but it turned out that she had already become an official of high rank.

No matter how small the grade is, it belongs to her.

And Cao San's marriage was just the so-and-so son of someone's family. It sounds good to say that she came from a prominent family, but it was the family's power, not the outstanding person she married.

If this honor is transferred to her, how much will be left?

After returning home, he stayed in his room and refused to go out.

She couldn't give up everything and follow Madam Cao's example. She had paid too much to achieve her current status.

The whole person is neither up nor down.

Originally, she should have endured the wedding with a depressed mood, and the confusion of that day would have disappeared like a passing cloud.

But the problem lies in the preparation of the trousseau.

She married into the same family, but her dowry was 30% smaller than what Madam Cao had prepared before.

Facing this situation, the cousin's wife who was in charge smiled and said, "There is a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children. I am sorry for wronging my sister."

The third lady got angry on the spot.

"What's the difference between legitimate and illegitimate children? That's the distinction between male heirs and female heirs. What does it have to do with female relatives?"

"Sister-in-law, do you think I'm a fool?"

It was originally a sister-in-law relationship for the sake of appearance, but the third wife started to make a fuss.

Mrs. Cao was disheartened by the fact that her daughter was driven out. She claimed to be seriously ill and didn't care about the matter at all.

The two of them went before Minister Cao to make a fuss.

The third lady said bluntly: "The money comes from our family, what does it have to do with her? She saved this money because she wanted to inherit more in the future."

"You're not even dead yet! They're already coveting your property!"

Minister Cao also knew what they were up to and said, "It must be your sister-in-law who made a mistake. I will make it up to you later."

But Sanniang is not satisfied now.

"Father, why should the bulk of our family property be given to my cousin? Even if it was like in the past when women could not be officials, you can just give him a place in the Hongwen Academy and some protection."

"Why should we give him all the property? These can be used as dowries for our sisters."

"Now women can serve as officials, why do you care about this outsider?"

When the young lady found out that the matter was related to her husband's inheritance, she immediately became anxious.

Minister Cao also shouted, "Shut up! What are you talking about!"

Seeing that he was still defending his cousin, Sanniang burst into tears.

She was a thoughtful person. In the past, she wanted to have the same status as her elder sister, but she was busy with the struggles in the harem and neglected many things.

Now I am satisfied, and I gradually understand that woman's thoughts.

My cousin and his wife made it clear that they were unwilling to be their supporters, and they would not be able to survive the rest of their lives by relying on them.

Without the strong support of their mother's family, how stable their feet can be in the backyard.

Haven’t we seen enough tragedies in these years?

As she approached her wedding day, she became more and more anxious. Once provoked, Sanniang could no longer hold back and complained, "I finally know why my sister betrayed the family. It's all because of you!"

"People like you who don't know the difference between inside and outside, and who don't know who is your friend, deserve to be separated from your wife and children, and abandoned by your relatives and friends!"

"presumptuous!"

Minister Cao yelled and slapped her.

Sanniang covered her face. She should have been afraid, but as her interests were being eaten away bit by bit, she had already anticipated that no one would be reliable in the future, so what was there to be afraid of?

"So what if I'm just being outrageous? Isn't what I said the truth?"

"Then you can just kick me out too! You have so many daughters anyway, I wonder how long you can kick them out!"

"I tell you, even if you don't have a son, you will never have a son in your life!"
