Chapter 1339: Are you sure this is good news?
The eldest lady was ridiculed by Tang Bao and criticized by Xuanyuan Jin. She wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
She had never been so embarrassed in her life!
Facts have proved that there is no most shameful thing, only more shameful things.
I thought it was embarrassing enough, but I didn't know there would be something even more embarrassing to come.
Suddenly, a roar was heard from behind the lady.
"Go get the banknotes and give them to Princess Ford and His Highness the Third Prince!"
The eldest lady was startled and looked back.
She saw her master glaring at her angrily.
The eldest lady of the Bai family's face changed.
She saw deep disgust in her man's eyes!
——Dislike her petty-mindedness!
——He disliked her for bringing shame to him!
——Disgusted that she brought shame to the Bai family!
The eldest lady was ashamed, embarrassed and worried.
Her mother-in-law was already dissatisfied with her and began to divide her housekeeping power with the second wife.
If she is rejected by a man again, her life will be difficult in the future.
The eldest lady suddenly realized that being embarrassed in front of outsiders was not as embarrassing as being embarrassed in front of her own man, which was even more difficult for her to accept.
only--
The eldest lady thought about the more than 20,000 taels of silver notes, which the public office could not afford at all.
"But, sir, the money in the treasury..."
"Sister-in-law, this money cannot come from the public treasury!" The Second Madam suddenly appeared from nowhere and said quickly, "This money is for your eldest wife to spend. Whether it is the benefits earned or the favors sold, it belongs to your eldest wife. There is absolutely no reason for the public treasury to pay for it!"
The second master also walked out from behind the rockery slowly and said, "Brother, what your sister-in-law said makes sense. There are rules for how to spend the money in the public treasury. Anything beyond that will naturally be borne by each family."
The Master: “…”
His face became even uglier.
The second branch jumped out to cause internal strife at this time. Did they think that the Bai family was not shameful enough?
Seeing this, Tang Bao said with emotion: "Back then, the old man of the Su family gave out 100,000 taels without blinking an eye. The Bai family, on the other hand, was reluctant to give even a mere 20,000 taels of silver. It's really..."
Tang Bao shook her head and didn't say anything else, but she successfully elicited an angry roar from the eldest master of the Bai family.
"Hurry up and get the silver!" The master looked at the mistress angrily and ordered.
After all, if you don’t take out the money at this time, you will be laughed at!
Even so, the eldest master would still feel bad if the money came from the eldest wife's house.
But, it must be concluded!
The eldest lady wanted to faint.
silver!
Her money!
The eldest lady's heart is bleeding!
After she took out the more than 20,000 taels of silver, what did she have left in her hand?
The eldest lady felt both regretful and distressed.
Why did I bring up the betrothal gift?
How much silver are those betrothal gifts worth?
What's more, the betrothal gift comes from the public!
Many things were taken directly from the warehouse. They were accumulated by the Bai family in the early years and did not cost any money at all.
Now, the betrothal gifts were returned to the public, but she had to pay out of her own pocket...
The eldest lady regretted so much that she almost beat her chest and stamped her feet. Her heart ached, but she also knew that she could not disobey the eldest master at this time.
So, he could only hold his bleeding heart and go back to his room to get the banknotes.
Xia Siya was so happy when she saw that she had really gotten the money!
"Don't worry, Master Bai. After Siya returns home, I will immediately send someone to deliver the betrothal gifts intact to the Bai Mansion!" Xia Siya looked at Master Bai and gave a firm assurance.
What a joke! Don't think she doesn't know that the betrothal gifts, converted into silver, are only two or three thousand taels.
Now I use two or three thousand taels to exchange for more than twenty thousand taels. This deal is really a good deal!
Xia Siya was so happy that she almost jumped up.
After hearing what Xia Siya said, the eldest master of the Bai family suppressed his anger and tried to force a smile on his face.
"My dear niece, there's no need to be so. This was originally my fault. Just consider this betrothal gift as an apology."
When the eldest lady heard what the eldest master said, she staggered.
Although these betrothal gifts will be returned and included in the public treasury, they will still be the family property of the Bai family.
How can we let outsiders get the advantage for free?
Fortunately, the next moment, Xia Siya said, "Now that Bai Shuzhi has been beaten up by us, the grudge between him and me is settled! There's no need to apologize. I will definitely return the betrothal gift!"
She doesn't want anything from the Bai family!
The eldest lady breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he continued to rub his chest and went back to his room to get the silver.
The master also breathed a sigh of relief.
Although, he had already made up his mind to go before the emperor and flatter the Xia and Su families.
However, before knowing the emperor's attitude, face must still be maintained.
The eldest lady hesitated, but still took the banknote despite being extremely reluctant.
A thick stack of banknotes was handed to Tang Bao. Without even counting them, Tang Bao gave them to Xia Siya.
"Sister Siya, here it is! This will be your dowry from now on!" Tang Bao said bluntly.
Xia Siya: “…”
Startled.
Then he shouted, "How can this be? This money is yours..."
"Sister Siya, if I say yes, it's fine!" Tang Bao said without hesitation, "Those things were originally given to you by me. Now that I've sold them for silver, they naturally belong to you!"
Xia Siya: "But..."
"Just accept this, it's given to you by your aunt." Da Pan suddenly said.
Xia Siya: “…”
Looked at Da Pan.
Da Pan glanced at Xia Siya, then looked away and continued, "When a woman is in her husband's family, her parents' family is her support, and her dowry is also her support. As for men—"
Da Pan paused and continued, "If they are good, then they can stay and live peacefully. If they are bad, then they can be beaten severely. At worst, they can leave with their dowry and start their own business!"
Whether a woman is divorced or divorced, it will affect the girls in her natal family.
Therefore, most women will follow their husband wherever he goes throughout their lives.
No matter how bad or unbearable a man is, I still endure it.
Because after leaving my husband's family, besides having to endure other people's strange looks, it is also difficult to go back to my parents' home.
Not only is she afraid that her mother's family will not tolerate her, but she is also afraid of bringing shame to her mother's family's reputation.
Of course, there are also those with extremely stubborn personalities who leave their husband’s home to start their own family.
However, this requires money as a backing.
Xia Siya was very surprised that Da Pan could say such a thing.
At the same time, I was very moved.
"My nephew has really grown up." Xia Siya said with a look of satisfaction, "He actually understands the ways of the world and knows how to think about Aunt Xia's future."
Da Pan's face turned dark.
Tang Bao quickly turned her head to look at Xuanyuan Jin, unable to bear to see the expression on her nephew's face.
Erpan looked at Dapan with a complicated expression and patted Dapan's shoulder silently.
Da Pan: "..."
She pursed her lips and stopped talking.
Xuanyuan Jin glanced at Da Pan, a thoughtful look flashing across his eyes.
Then, he looked at Tang Bao and said, "Let's go."
"Yeah." Tang Bao nodded with a smile and said, "I must go back and tell my godfather and godmother about this good news immediately."
"Ahem..." Su Liusao coughed twice, suppressing her laughter and saying, "Aunt, are you sure this news is good news for Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia?"
Tang Bao: “…definitely!”
I feel a little lacking in confidence.
