Chapter 184 Confrontation
The old marquis's wife's expression changed, and she pretended to be nonchalant, "Don't listen to what people outside say. Chongyang would definitely not do such a rude thing. These must be rumors spread by those gossipers. Don't take them seriously. Don't let those with ulterior motives sow discord between us!"
He took two steps forward, took Han Yunxi's hand affectionately, and said lovingly, "Chongyang has always valued you. Your relationship has always been sweet and sweet. He will never keep a mistress. You have to believe him!..."
"As for the dowry you mentioned, I don't know anything about it. You can only wait until your husband comes back and ask him carefully about it!"
"Dowry and other things are just trivial matters. Don't let such a small matter ruin the relationship between you and your wife!"
When he spoke, he seemed to be speaking with great sincerity, but when he listened carefully, he was extremely hypocritical, avoiding the important issues and perfunctory...
Do you think you can let go of the dowry issue with just a few light words?
How can it be so cheap?
Don’t even think about it!
Since her sister has told her the truth in detail, how could she be deceived by this old hag again?
Han Yunxi calmly withdrew her hand, her expression very cold, but she still spoke softly, "My grandson's wife just went back to her own yard."
"The yard is completely empty now, and the remaining dowry has all disappeared. Why is this happening?"
The Second Madam was an honest person, and she quickly explained, "Not only are the things in your yard gone, but all the valuables in the entire mansion have disappeared overnight..."
"Your second uncle went to the government to report the case long ago, and I'm afraid he will be back soon."
"Oh, is it such a coincidence? My niece-in-law went out of the house yesterday, and all her things were lost. If I tell anyone about this, no one will believe it, right?"
"Over the years, the Marquis's Mansion has relied entirely on my niece's dowry to maintain its basic dignity. My husband, mother-in-law, and grandmother have long coveted my niece's dowry and have repeatedly asked for it, but my niece has refused..."
"Could it be that they are taking advantage of my absence to secretly act and rob the company?"
Han Yunxi felt that it was better to strike first and put a big hat on the Marquis' Mansion, so that they could prove their innocence.
You have to muddy the water first before you can fish in troubled waters.
She is not a little girl who is completely ignorant of the world. Now that she knows that the Yong'en Marquis Mansion is a big hell, she naturally cannot be merciful if she wants to escape from it.
As soon as these words were spoken, the people on the opposite side felt extremely wronged.
The old marquis's wife's expression darkened, and her aged face was filled with depression.
Her attitude was no longer as gentle as before. She said sarcastically, "You are usually well-behaved and sensible. Why do you dare to speak like this after going out? Are you so disrespectful to your elders? Are you disobeying them?..."
"Are you really that bold? Is this the family education you receive at the Duke of the Protectorate's Mansion?"
"It seems that I was wrong in my judgment. I didn't expect you to be such a perverse and ignorant young man."
Han Yunxi's attitude showed no sign of compromise, but today she was particularly tough.
"Grandmother, can you be sure that Wang Chongyang didn't have a mistress? Do you dare to swear an oath under the curse of the Wang family's ancestors?"
"There is a God above us. My granddaughter-in-law has been kept in the dark by you for several years. I don't want to live in confusion anymore."
"you......"
The old marquis' wife almost fainted from anger.
Han Yunxi continued slowly, "I heard that many people who went to the royal hunting grounds already knew that Wang Chongyang blatantly brought his concubine with him, and they were caught naked by everyone. This has already brought shame to the Marquisate..."
"You still refuse to admit it at this point?"
"You can't hide it by simply denying it."
"I also heard that everything the concubine wore and put on her head was from my granddaughter-in-law's dowry."
"Especially the precious jewelry on her head. It's most likely her grandson's wife's dowry. It's a treasure that even I wouldn't be willing to wear."
"When the concubine was wearing it and walking around the city, many people saw it clearly. Even if she wanted to deny it, it would be impossible."
Hearing this, the old marquis' wife hardly dared to look Han Yunxi in the eye, and was even more afraid that the old marquis would be angry and punish her.
She was anxious to think of a solution and was so anxious that she was sweating all over.
"Yesterday, when I heard that Wang Chongyang had a mistress, I was a little skeptical, so I made some inquiries and even found out the exact house where she lived."
"Do you know which house it is?"
After hearing this, the old marquis seemed really unaware, with a confused look on his face.
The old marquis's wife's eyes flickered as she racked her brains to think of a way to deal with the situation.
The second wife seemed to be unaware of the affairs of the first wife, and had no intention of interfering or interfering, and just looked on indifferently.
Han Yunxi looked at the old marquis' wife and asked calmly, "Grandma, you should have known about this all along, right?"
"I've always been so respectful and filial to my grandmother, and this is how you treat your granddaughter-in-law?"
The old marquis' wife continued to deny it.
"The hunters are trapped in Pingcheng and haven't returned yet! How could there be any news?"
"Yun Xi, please don't believe the rumors out there. They are definitely not true."
This damn old woman is really stubborn!
Even now he still refuses to give in.
Han Yunxi gradually lost her patience and explained, "Not everyone is trapped in Pingcheng."
"Isn't the Princess back? And the wife of the Minister of Revenue and her two sons, as well as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the Second Master Shen of the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion..."
"Besides, I asked Dr. Baili to treat Xinxin's illness yesterday, and he is back now."
“This…this…”
"Since grandma still refuses to admit it at this point, I will report it to the authorities. If the facts are confirmed, I will definitely hold the Yong'en Marquisate accountable for the marriage fraud."
"My granddaughter-in-law has only been married into the Marquis's Mansion for five years, and the concubine's eldest son is said to be over five years old. You must give me an explanation regarding this matter when the time comes, otherwise don't blame my granddaughter-in-law for being ruthless. My Protector of the Country Mansion is not so easy to bully!"
"Oh, my mother is already on her way back to Beijing. If she knew about this, she would never let it go!"
The old marquis's wife moved her lips several times, and she glanced secretly at the old marquis, whose face was full of frost, but still refused to give in.
"Yun Xi! There must be some misunderstanding here!"
"Grandmother originally borrowed that house from you and arranged for a distant relative to live there. She's a woman with two children, so she's definitely not a concubine!"
