Ying Mingkang didn't believe such nonsense.
A man is occupying his deceased wife's dowry and is not afraid of being laughed at if the news gets out.
Only Ying Xuejie could do such a shameful thing.
Ying Mingkang knelt down and said:
"Father, my sister and I have grown up and can manage the farm and shop by ourselves. We no longer need you to worry about helping us manage our parents' dowry.
Please also ask father to return my father's dowry to us brothers and sisters."
When Ying Mingkang knelt down, Ying Xuejie felt his eyelids twitching, and it turned out to be nothing good.
Several countries on this continent have clear regulations that a wife's dowry is under the control of the wife herself and the husband is not allowed to interfere; after the wife's death, all her dowry will belong to her own children. If she has no children, the dowry will be returned to her parents' home, and the husband has no right to deal with his wife's dowry.
A man with some family background and blood will never use his wife's dowry, lest it be spread and he be laughed at.
However, Ying Xuejie was a greedy and lustful man. He thought that as long as he kept his original wife's two children under his control, he could put his deceased wife's dowry into his own pocket.
He never thought that his legitimate son would become so powerful that he would do such a thing in front of a noble.
It seems that these dowries must be returned one day.
Song Yaoyao saw that Ying Xuejie didn't speak for a long time, and said:
"As far as I know, the four kingdoms have a clear rule that the dowry of a deceased wife belongs to the children. What does it mean that Master Ying took the dowry of his deceased wife? Are you flouting the laws of the court?"
Ying Xuejie's face suddenly changed when he heard this, but he quickly explained:
"My Lords, you have misunderstood. The children are still young. I am only keeping them for them temporarily."
Song Yaoyao nodded:
"I see.
Now that Miss Ying and Mr. Ying have grown up, Mr. Ying should return the dowry to their parents.
If anything is left behind, it can be converted into money and given to them.
By the way, Mr. Ying will also return the profits he made from the dowry that he has kept for so many years to them."
Song Yaoyao's words blocked all of Ying Xuejie's paths. In this way, he would gain nothing.
Ying Xuejie looked unhappy, but still replied:
"Don't worry, my lords. This is a gift."
Song Yaoyao nodded: "Then let's count it now."
Song Yaoyao felt that, now that they were together, even though Ying Xuejie had agreed, if he dragged his feet once they left, the return of the dowry would become a blank check.
Besides, because of what happened yesterday, Ying Huiyan and her brother had already completely torn their faces with Ying Xuejie. If they lost these dowries, their future life would probably be even more difficult.
After hearing what Song Yaoyao said, Ying Xuejie looked unhappy, but he still agreed.
A few hours later, Ying Mingkang and Ying Huiyan had received their father's dowry.
After the matter was resolved, Song Yaoyao and the others left.
Song Yaoyao originally thought that the matter ended here.
But what was unexpected was that the next day, Ying Huiyan came to the door carrying a bag.
When Song Yaoyao saw Ying Huiyan, she looked at her carrying a huge bag and asked:
"What happened? Were you kicked out? Where's your brother Ying Mingkang? How did he protect you?"
Song Yaoyao's questions confused Ying Huiyan.
Ying Huiyan reacted and quickly explained:
“Miss, you misunderstood, I was not kicked out.
I came out on my own, and I want to stay with Miss Xu and serve you."
Song Yaoyao looked at Ying Huiyan and said:
"You are a good daughter, but you insist on serving others. What are you thinking?"
Ying Huiyan lowered her head and said:
"Miss, I have no way to repay your kindness, I just want to..."
Song Yaoyao interrupted her and said:
"I don't lack maids here, so you should go back and be a good daughter of a wealthy family."
Ying Huiyan raised her head and looked at Song Yaoyao with tears in her eyes:
"Miss, do you despise me? Don't I even have the qualifications to be your maid?..."
