Having received another five hundred taels, he naturally wanted to squander it.
Jiang Chuwei was free to come and go as she pleased at the Marquis's residence.
Unexpectedly, before I even left the house, Lu Yanfang came knocking on my door.
Making no attempt to hide her disgust, Jiang Chuwei asked, "Miss Lu, have you come to return my dowry?"
Lu Yanfang was taken aback: "Sister-in-law! Why are you still thinking about the things you gave away?"
When did you become so stingy?
Those are all pieces of jewelry I've worn; my sister-in-law probably won't like them.
Lu Yanfang has learned her lesson today; she addressed everyone as "elder sister-in-law" the moment she opened her mouth.
But what he said was still as annoying as ever.
"Are you going to return it to me voluntarily, or should I go get it?" Jiang Chuwei asked.
She hadn't even had time to deal with her, and she just showed up at her doorstep.
Lu Yanfang chuckled awkwardly, "Sister-in-law! It was my fault the other day, please forgive me this time, okay?"
After saying that, he reached out to take Jiang Chuwei's arm.
Jiang Chuwei disdainfully shook off his hand.
Lu Yanfang was also embarrassed.
However, she still held back today.
“Sister-in-law! I’ve taken a liking to your jade jewelry set. I’m going to Princess Qingning’s banquet tomorrow, and that set will be perfect for me.”
Lu Yanfang asked shamelessly.
Xia Qi couldn't help but ask, "Miss Lu! Don't you remember having a falling out with my young lady?"
Lu Yanfang glared at her: "There's no such thing as a family feud that lasts overnight. Even my sister-in-law didn't hold it against you, so what are you, a mere servant, babbling about?"
“I don’t care. You should go back to your courtyard and bring over my dowry after you’ve taken stock of it.”
Jiang Chuwei said coldly.
"Sister-in-law! You're not serious, are you? What's wrong with you? You've never been this petty before?"
Lu Yanfang's eyes reddened, and she put on a pitiful look, trying to gain Jiang Chuwei's sympathy.
It's just that her size and affected manner are really an eyesore.
Jiang Chuwei noticed that she was glancing around and talking about her, but not directly answering her question.
"Chunqin, take my dowry list, let's go to Yuyuan together," Jiang Chuwei instructed.
Lu Yanfang panicked. Why was Jiang Chuwei so difficult to talk to these days?
If she hadn't locked her storeroom, she would have gone and taken it herself long ago.
Why bother coming to her and begging her?
Jiang Chuwei: "Let's go."
"What are you doing in my yard? I don't want your jewelry anymore, you're not allowed in my yard." Seeing that Jiang Chuwei was serious, Lu Yanfang panicked.
Jiang Chuwei took back all the jewelry and porcelain; what good things did she still have?
Jiang Chuwei ignored Lu Yanfang and walked straight towards Yuyuan.
Lu Yanfang: "Sister-in-law, you don't lack those items. There's no reason to take back what you've given away."
Jiang Chuwei: "Are you sure everything in your room was a gift from me? And that you didn't steal it yourself?"
"The family is talking about stealing; I was just borrowing it."
"A loan is only a loan if it is returned. When have you ever returned a piece of my jewelry or porcelain?"
"Sister-in-law, don't be so stingy. You weren't like this before. What's yours is mine."
Xia Qi asked curiously, "Miss Lu! When have you ever given our young lady something nice, so that she could also feel the warmth of a family?"
Lu Yanfang glared at her fiercely.
Seeing that Jiang Chuwei was still walking, Lu Yanfang quickly stopped her.
Suddenly, a figure flashed and lifted Lu Yanfang up.
Lu Yanfang was terrified: "Who are you? How dare you cause trouble in the Marquis's mansion?"
Jiang Chuwei said coolly, "You'd better not anger her, or she might throw you out."
Lu Yanfang indeed shut up.
She knew that Chunqin and Xiaqi knew kung fu, but the woman beside her was like a demon.
Even though Lu Yanfang had never practiced martial arts, she knew that this person's skills were unfathomable.
She winked at the maid, who immediately left through the side path.
Jiang Chuwei watched coldly and said, "Go get reinforcements! We'll take back all the dowry that was taken away today."
Jade Garden
Lu Yanfang was practically dragged in.
The servants looked at each other in bewilderment.
The young lady has long lost her former imposing manner.
"What are you doing?" Chen Yulan shouted.
"Mother!" Lu Yanfang ran towards Chen Yulan.
She was genuinely worried that the man would slit her throat.
Jiang Chuwei said coldly, "Miss Lu, will you hand it over yourself, or should I search you to find it?"
"Jiang, don't go too far!" Chen Yulan roared.
Although the sound was loud, it had completely lost its former imposing manner.
In these exchanges, Chen Yulan was completely outmatched.
Besides, people who accept gifts are bound to be obligated to help others, so the mother and daughter were in the wrong.
Arguing about things that are unreasonable will only bring shame upon yourself.
Clothes, jewelry, porcelain, and vases were carried out of the house one by one.
Lu Yanfang's teeth were clenched in a grimace.
Her heart was bleeding!
“Mother, these are all mine. Jiang Chuwei has gone too far.”
Seeing that Jiang Chuwei showed no sign of stopping, Chen Yulan said in a sinister tone, "Who gave you the audacity to act so recklessly and without restraint in front of your mother-in-law? Do you think no one can control you?"
Jiang Chuwei: "Just give it a try!"
"Today I will divorce you on behalf of Ke'er. You have committed three of the seven grounds for divorce. After you are divorced, your dowry will all belong to the Marquis of Pingyang's mansion."
Chen Yulan is going all out today.
A daughter-in-law like that would be a menace to the family.
"May I ask which three rules I've broken?" Jiang Chuwei pressed aggressively.
She wasn't afraid at all of turning against Chen Yulan.
Chen Yulan wanted her dowry, while Old Madam Lu wanted her to stay alive.
The old lady is still in charge of this household.
Chen Yulan: "Firstly, you have been married for three years without having any children."
Secondly, you disrespect your elders.
Thirdly, you are prone to jealousy.
"Isn't my mother-in-law afraid of biting her tongue when she talks nonsense?"
Firstly, I have been childless for three years because your son is infertile. We have not consummated our marriage. If we had a child, wouldn't your son have become a cuckold?
Secondly, am I disrespectful to my elders? I prepared my grandmother's medicine day and night. Over the years, I have stayed in her room day and night, and anyone with eyesight can see that.
Thirdly, I am prone to jealousy. Should I drive Qiao Xuerou out of the Marquis's mansion, or should I forbid the two of them from seeing each other?
They continued doing what they were doing as usual. Was I unhappy when I went to see them once?
"Doesn't your mother-in-law feel guilty about these statements?"
Jiang Chuwei's barrage of questions left Chen Yulan speechless!
"You're just making excuses. Aren't you yelling at me now?"
"Am I wrong to come and reclaim my own gold and silver jewelry? My mother-in-law is yelling at me, can't I even offer a word of explanation?"
Jiang Chuwei did not back down.
She was confident of victory against Chen Yulan.
Chen Yulan wanted too much, so naturally she had many concerns.
