Holding the list given by Xu Jinyi, Liu Yan walked into the huge warehouse with a grim expression.
"Prime Minister."
There were several people busy in the warehouse, and the accountant was sitting there registering the items for betrothal.
"No need to write. The princess's betrothal gifts will be purchased separately. Now clear out the items on this list."
The Prime Minister had an ugly look on his face, and the servants didn't dare to ask anything, but just did what he said.
Mrs. Liu smiled when she heard the news that Liu Yan had finally divorced Xu Jinyi.
"This woman is sensible. If she keeps insisting, I'm afraid I'll really take action."
"It's better for her to go on her own so as not to dirty my hands."
"Husband... Madam, the young lady is leaving and is going to take away all the dowry she brought with her."
Having followed Madam Liu for many years, I know very well that Madam Liu is a very stingy person. When she orders the maids around, she treats them like human beings.
So when the maid said this, she was trembling with fear, knowing very well that Madam Liu would be furious.
"What did you say?!" Mrs. Liu dropped her teacup and screamed.
"The young master has asked people to pack up things in the warehouse." The maid knelt on the ground with her head buried.
"Is he crazy? That's such a huge amount of money." Mrs. Liu slammed the table hard, stood up with a cold face, and strode out.
When Mrs. Liu thought about Xu Jinyi taking away so much money from her family, her teeth almost broke.
"Stop it, stop it, where are you moving my things to?"
These things were originally intended to be used as betrothal gifts for the princess, and most of them have been packed in the past few days.
So the accountant got the list and asked someone to clean it up quickly.
Brother Xu brought people over as soon as he heard the news.
So at this time, all the things were checked on the list while being carried away.
Xu Jinyi was holding another missing item and estimating its value.
"These things are worth one hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver. Give me the money."
The Liu family was originally an ordinary family. If Liu Yan had not passed the imperial examination and married Xu Jinyi, the daughter of a wealthy family, they would have been in trouble.
How could I have my current status now, let alone save so much money?
To be honest, Liu Yan really can't afford 120,000 taels.
He has only been an official for a few years, and no matter how much his salary is, he doesn't have that much money.
He was very concerned about his reputation, and his mother also enjoyed a wealthy life for the first time.
So for the past three years, relying on Xu Jinyi's dowry, life has been very comfortable.
So when Liu Yan heard Xu Jinyi say 120,000 taels, she was still shocked.
"One hundred and twenty thousand taels? How can it be so much?"
"Liu Yan, don't let me look down on you. Look at what's missing from this. I think 120,000 is too little."
"But you also have to spend your share of the dowry?" Liu Yan blurted out.
Xu Jinyi laughed at herself, "Liu Yan, can you please check your conscience? On the first day I got married, when we were serving tea, your mother took my dowry for herself, claiming she was an elder."
"Look at the clothes I'm wearing. They're all faded."
"Can you take a look at me again? Is there any jewelry on me?"
"I was so blind to marry a man like you. Are you used to living off me? Your family is supported by my dowry."
"No need to say more. If you don't take out the 120,000 taels of silver, I don't know how the story will spread in the capital tomorrow."
After listening to Xu Jinyi's words, Liu Yan realized how bad she had been in the past few years.
Looking at Xu Jinyi now, Liu Yan seemed to still remember the stunning scene when she first met Xu Jinyi.
After marrying me, she became so haggard.
Some of them were so weak that they could not stand, and Liu Yan even had tears in her eyes.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I always thought I cared about you and loved you, but I never thought you had such a hard time. I'm sorry."
Brother Xu also heard what Xu Jinyi said, his eyes turned red, and he finally couldn't help but stepped forward and punched Liu Yan a few times.
"You bastard, my beautiful sister married you, how did you treat her?"
"You promised me to treat my sister well."
"Open your eyes and look at what my sister has become now. How did you abuse her to make her look like a ghost?"
Xu Jinyi: ...
She knew that she looked like she would fall down if the wind blew, but she didn't seem as ugly as a ghost.
Is this really my brother?
But it's still cool to see Liu Yan with a bruised face.
Knowing that she was in the wrong, Liu Yan did not fight back. After Brother Xu stopped, she asked the accountant to check how much silver was left in the house.
Including small change, the total amount was more than 130,000 taels.
Liu Yan gave Xu Jinyi the 120,000 taels he wanted.
By the time Mrs. Liu arrived, most of the things had been moved out.
Mrs. Liu watched the boxes passing by her and stopped them with a frown.
Xu Jinyi stood up and put on a sarcastic smile: "Your family's things? When did my dowry become your family's things?"
"You bitch, you've been married to our Liu family for so many years, yet you haven't given birth to any children. You've delayed our Yan'er for so many years, and now you want to take the dowry away?"
"We eat our food, we live in our house, these things belong to us."
Xu Jinyi almost laughed out loud, looking at Liu Yan: "Do you want to calculate how much my food and lodging have cost your family over the past three years? Do you dare to calculate?"
Liu Yan's face flushed red, knowing that if they continued to make a scene, they would be the only ones to lose face.
"Mom, let them go."
Brother Xu looked at the mother and son with disdain. He actually hoped that the coward Liu Yan would fight back, so that he would have a reason to beat him.
"No, you are not allowed to move out. Believe it or not, I will sue you for robbery."
Liu Yan quickly grabbed his mother.
Brother Xu is not a good-tempered person. Because Mrs. Xu is a woman, he has already endured it once.
This time, he couldn't help but say, "Go ahead and sue me if you have the guts. Let the people in the capital see how shameless your Prime Minister Liu is."
"They dared to withhold the dowry after the divorce. Are they planning to use the ex-wife's dowry to marry another one, then continue the divorce and make more money?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, that's right. Your Liu family doesn't have that kind of wealth, so you can only rely on these unorthodox ways to make money."
"Relying on women, you don't have to worry about being laughed at as a gigolo."
Liu Yan's face turned ashen, but she didn't say a word because he was Xu Jinyi's elder brother.
Seeing that most of the things had been moved and Xu Jinyi and the others were about to leave, he let go of Xu's mother.
As soon as she let go, Xu's mother rushed to the front door and shouted, "You are shameless. Come back to me, Xu Jinyi, you bitch. Pay me back all the money you spent over the years."
Xu Jinyi didn't indulge her: "Okay, then let's have a good chat and see how much money I've spent on your family in the past three years."
There were a lot of people watching, and the place was crowded from the moment they saw Xu's family bringing so many servants to the door.
