Chapter 185 Shameless Family
The old marquis's wife paused for a moment, considered her words, and continued.
"I think it's not easy for her as a woman with two children! That's why I wanted to help them and lent them your house to live in."
"That woman is indeed Chongyang's cousin, but she is definitely not Chongyang's mistress!"
"Feng Yulan married the wrong man when she was young and was abandoned by her husband's family at a young age. With nowhere else to turn, she came to the capital and took refuge with the Marquis's Mansion..."
"Grandmother felt so sorry for the three of them, mother and son, that she took them in and let them live outside."
"They occasionally lend a helping hand and give a small subsidy, but it's just some worthless trinkets. How could it possibly be your dowry?"
"I'm afraid you've made a mistake!"
After she finished speaking, the old lady had an awkward smile on her face, and her eyes were even more erratic.
Han Yunxi sneered.
This old hag's words are full of loopholes and incoherent. It's obvious that she's lying.
Did they really think that she, Han Yunxi, was still the same "little fool" who allowed themselves to be fooled and manipulated at will?
With such a smart and clever sister by her side, what is she afraid of?
Besides, her family background is so good, but she used to be low-key and didn't know how to make use of it.
I will never allow myself to be bullied again.
"When my granddaughter-in-law married into the Marquis's Mansion, the family only had the empty title of nobility. It could be said that their income was not enough to cover their expenses. Only with the bountiful harvest from my granddaughter-in-law's shops and farmland did they gradually start to improve and climb out of the trough..."
"The entire Marquis's Mansion relies on the dowry subsidy from the grandson's wife to maintain the most basic dignity. Do you have extra money to subsidize poor relatives? Are you being so kind to distant relatives?"
"Who would believe what you say?"
"You guys really think I'm a three-year-old kid, don't you?"
These hurtful words directly tore off the face of the Marquis' Mansion, threw it on the ground and trampled on it back and forth without any mercy.
The three elders' faces turned pale and bloodless.
Lin Pianran was watching from the side and saw that her sister's fighting ability was really amazing!
At this point, she still had no chance to make a move.
I had no choice but to stand aside and continue watching the show.
Han Yunxi walked up to the old marquis's wife with a mocking expression on her face, leaned close to her face, and said softly, "Besides, grandma, are you that kind and generous person?"
"It's been five years since my granddaughter-in-law married into the Yong'en Marquis's Mansion, and you've always been stingy, never spending a penny. You've always been someone who only takes and never gives."
"You've never spent a single ounce of silver on your granddaughter-in-law. Even your great-granddaughter Xinxin is four years old, and you haven't received a single decent gift."
"But you're always greedy, finding all sorts of excuses and reasons to ask for money and jewelry from your grandson's wife. I've kept a record of it, and it happens at least three or five times a year."
"Over the past five years, that's a total of twenty-three times."
"Grandma, would you like to see the detailed account book?"
"I thought, since you are so old and always asking for things shamelessly, I should give you some favors. I have never treated you unfairly!"
"This is your true personality and character, Grandma!"
"You said you were going to subsidize your poor relatives. This is like hearing a huge joke!"
"It's like an extremely selfish person who can't even get enough to eat. Would he save his own food to give to others?"
After saying that, Han Yunxi covered her mouth and chuckled softly.
The sound was not loud, but it was very harsh, and it hurt the eardrums.
Han Yunxi's words were like a string of cannonballs, making the old marquis's face turn black and red, and she felt a little embarrassed.
She almost wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into and never come out to see anyone again.
She didn't expect Han Yunxi to be so bold today. She was directly confronting him.
Her ugly side was exposed openly.
How can she live her life from now on?
The old marquis looked extremely ugly, his face flushed with shame.
He had never cared about the affairs of the inner house before, but he didn't expect it to be such a mess and a chaotic situation.
He glared at the old marquis' wife and cursed harshly, "Is this how you manage the affairs of the Marquis's mansion?"
"Do you still have any shame?"
"You've done something that a junior is scolding you for. Don't you know how shameful it is?"
"You've lived to this age, and now you've become a dog?"
"If you don't want to stay in this mansion anymore, just go back to your parents' home. I can't afford to lose face like this!"
The old marquis put away the anger on his face, looked up at Han Yunxi, and said apologetically, "Since your dowry is much less, this matter can be resolved among our family without bringing it to the government. Grandfather will send someone to the house to check it out and will definitely give you an explanation!"
"If this is true, Grandfather will definitely take care of things for you and will never let you suffer any injustice..."
Lin Pianran looked at the old man with a frosted face, wondering what he was up to.
Could it be that he really knew nothing about it?
How is this possible?
It’s not one or two days, three or five days, but five years!
So many things have happened in the Marquis' Mansion in the past five years, is he really unaware?
Just playing deaf and dumb!
Now that I can't pretend anymore and the situation is out of control, I have no choice but to stand up and pretend to be a good person with righteous words.
This kind of person is the most hypocritical and shameless.
Seeing that Han Yunxi didn't respond to him.
The old marquis continued with a smile, "I'll send someone to investigate right now to see what the situation is, and then make a decision. Okay?"
Sure enough, the fox's tail was revealed so quickly.
Is he going to investigate? Or is he trying to destroy the body beforehand? It's hard to say!
Lin Pianran quickly said, "Sister, since we have nothing to do, let's go take a look together!"
"It would also help the old Marquis and his wife to see clearly the dirty deeds their children and grandchildren have done, so that they won't think that we have wronged them!"
"If they try to confuse right and wrong, my sister's situation will be even worse!"
"Look, sister, they're using your house and dowry to support their mistresses. They have no sense of shame at all. What else can't they do?"
"Don't be fooled by their hypocrisy!"
"There's no point in getting entangled and arguing with these people. I just want to get solid evidence and slap them in the face in public. That would be much more satisfying!"
At this time, the old marquis' wife used her cloudy eyes to look directly at the girl standing next to Han Yunxi.
The girl is young and has a delicate and beautiful appearance, like a fairy walking out of a painting.
Especially those eyes, they seemed to be able to speak, very lively and bright.
