Someone immediately asked back:
"Since you don't covet Li's dowry, why do you only give her 500 taels?
When Li got married in a grand ceremony with a wedding dress that was spread over ten miles, the people of the entire Suyu City saw it.
You must not say that Li's dowry was filled with rags.
Don't forget, there is also the singing ceremony.
Every time the ceremonial officer announced an item of dowry, he would open the box and let the husband's family and guests check it.
At that time, we were standing at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, listening to the ceremonial officer reading out the gift list, and we were all shocked, because those were all rare treasures!
Moreover, the ceremonial officer sang for more than an hour. One can imagine how much Li's dowry was!
Any one of Li's dowry could be sold for several thousand taels of silver, or even more!
You gave her 500 taels, not even enough for a dowry, aren't you robbing her?"
The Marquis's wife glared at the person who spoke with resentment. The person looked at the Marquis's vicious eyes, shrank his neck, and said:
"Why are you staring at me, Madam Hou? What did I say that was wrong?
You are staring at me like that, are you trying to kill me to silence me?
Even if you kill me, you can't stop Youyou from talking!"
Someone nearby said:
"Brother, don't worry, we have so many people to testify for you, don't be afraid!
If anything happens to you, it will definitely be the fault of the Marquis's family.
We will report you to the government office immediately."
Someone had already seen Song Yaoyao and the others and said:
"The police are right here, brother, what are you afraid of?"
Only then did everyone turn their heads and see Song Yaoyao and others!
The man immediately bowed to Song Yaoyao and the others and said:
"Sir, you must testify for me!"
Song Yaoyao nodded: "Don't worry!"
The Marquis's wife had already seen these officers, but they did not react at all. They were just watching the fun, so she did not step forward to greet them!
She was just an official's wife, and she was not even at the stage where she could greet the officials.
It was the first time she had seen an official who loved to watch the fun so much. He even looked down on these officials!
Is it because Suyu City is too peaceful that they have so much free time to watch the hustle and bustle of the Marquis' Mansion from here?
Madam Hou thought that Song Yaoyao and the others were just ordinary officials, and she didn't think of them as the imperial guards at all!
If they knew the identities of Song Yaoyao and the others, they would probably be scared to death!
The imperial guards of Tianfeng Kingdom were no pushovers. Her son and husband had repeatedly warned her not to provoke the imperial guards in the city, and she remembered it clearly.
Li looked at Song Yaoyao and the others without saying anything, and continued to look at Li.
She felt that Li had no children, and no one would say anything if the Marquis's Mansion divorced Li!
Now that it comes to the dowry, she feels a little guilty.
On this continent, no matter which country, it is stipulated that a woman's dowry belongs to her parents. If the woman has children in the future, the dowry will belong to her children. If she has no children, the dowry will be returned to the woman's parents' home.
Now, the Marquis' Mansion has obviously seized Li's dowry!
According to the seven grounds for divorce, there is no problem in divorcing Li, and no one will blame the Marquis.
But, now that he has seized Li's dowry, as long as Li reports it to the authorities, he will definitely win!
After all, Li had married into the Marquis's Mansion with a grand dowry, and many people had seen that dowry!
They can’t deny it even if they want to!
Their Marquis' Mansion had indeed been in decline before. The reason they agreed to let their son marry a merchant's daughter was because Master Li promised to give his daughter a grand wedding. Only then did they agree!
These people in the Marquis' Mansion really relied on Li's dowry to live the good life they have today!
