Chapter 502 Su Nuan starts to fight back
Su Nuan smiled slightly and asked, "Anything else?"
"Aunt, you might as well tell me all the conditions, so that I can know what to do when the time comes."
Mrs. Sun didn't expect that Su Nuan was not angry after hearing these words. She gave Ouyang Xing a satisfied look.
Ouyang Xing received the gaze and was a little confused. What had he done?
Mrs. Sun continued, "Just now I thought about it carefully and I feel that it is not appropriate. Your status is too low and you can't support the Marquis' Mansion at all."
"If a maid gives birth to a child, her status will be even lower, which is not appropriate."
Su Nuan remained calm and kept a polite smile.
Mrs. Sun's eyes flashed, and she smiled and said, "I have a niece who is a real lady from a wealthy family. Why don't you marry her into the Marquis' Mansion and make her your equal wife?"
After she finished speaking, she actually smiled at the place hidden by the gauze curtain and said, "Zhen'er, come and meet your cousin."
A look of pride appeared on her face. "Zhen'er learned zither art from a great Nanyin master. Even the Empress Dowager praised her painting 'Fishing Alone on a Cold River'."
Her expression changed again, full of contempt. "Unlike some country girls, who can't even tell the difference between palace satin and coarse linen."
Su Nuan treated her sarcasm as the barking of a dog, and thought to herself, what kind of cousin is this?
The gauze curtain was lifted, and a beautiful woman walked out. Judging from the way she twisted her waist and hips, it was obvious that she was not a good person.
Mrs. Sun said, "This is Zhao Zhenzhen, the jewel in the crown of the Zhao family, one of the four great families in Luancheng."
"If nothing else, her background is absolutely worthy of the status of a marquis' wife, and her dowry is very generous."
As he said this, he cast a look of disdain towards Su Nuan intentionally or unintentionally.
Su Nuan still had a smile on her face, neither angry nor upset.
Mrs. Sun seemed certain that this was the settled matter, and Su Nuan would abide by all the rules she stated.
"Okay, that's it."
Before Su Nuan could say anything, Ouyang Xing jumped up and said, "I don't agree. What do you mean by co-wife? I don't want it."
Mrs. Sun frowned, "I'm doing this for your own good. Besides, the Zhao family can also support the Sun family. As long as the three of us, the Sun, Zhao, and Ouyang families, join forces, the Bai family will be nothing."
"If you don't crush the Bai family, do you think the position of the crown prince will fall into your hands? Don't forget there's a white vixen."
She once again laid out the interests at stake, her tone strong and full of warning.
Su Nuan really wanted to take out a handful of melon seeds and eat the melon while cracking them. It was so delicious. Although the melon came from her body, as long as she had a melon to eat, she was not picky about food.
Now they were all quiet, a little tense, and Su Nuan smiled slightly.
"I wonder if Mrs. Sun has finished speaking?"
Mrs. Sun nodded and said, "That's all. As long as you behave yourself, it's not that we can't accommodate you."
Su Nuan took a deep breath and said, "Well, it's my turn now."
Mrs. Sun glanced at Su Nuan sideways, holding a teacup in her hand with a proud posture.
Su Nuan curled her lips and smiled, "You told me not to go out of the main door or the secondary door. This is easy to do because I like climbing over walls and don't like walking through doors."
Mrs. Sun was so frightened that she forgot to drink her tea, and the water spilled all over her. She quickly wiped it with a handkerchief to cover up her embarrassment.
Su Nuan continued, "Ouyang Xing is a filial son. He knows how to respect his elders."
"I'm not bad either. I'm very filial to my mother. I always give her a penny I have and never keep anything for myself."
"Also, having two children in three years is definitely not a problem. I can guarantee that the ones I give birth to will call me mom, but I can't guarantee that they will all call him dad."
"Also, the inheritance of the Ouyang family's bloodline is Ouyang Xing's business. He doesn't have good seeds, so even fertile land is useless. Therefore, he should bear the blame. It has nothing to do with me."
Mrs. Sun put one hand on her chest and pointed at Su Nuan with the other. Her whole body was shaking like a sieve, but she couldn't say a word.
Su Nuan pushed Ouyang Xing and said, "Go and calm her down. She must be so happy after hearing what I said that she can't speak."
Ouyang Xing walked behind Mrs. Sun dully and mechanically, raised his hand and patted her twice, almost patting Mrs. Sun's soul out.
Su Nuan didn't intend to let her go, and continued, "By the way, you said that I should provide 66 dowries, that's easy."
Mrs. Sun calmed down a little when she heard about the dowry and stared at Su Nuan.
Su Nuan smiled and said, "I have sixty-six coins here, which is just enough for one coin per set of dowry. If that doesn't work, eighty-eight coins should be enough."
"As for using the dowry and betrothal gifts to support the Marquis' Mansion, Master Sun has already refuted this, so I won't say much. After all, this concerns Ouyang Xing's face."
"A maidservant is a must for the dowry. Aunt, please be generous and give more. Twenty or thirty is not too little."
"And since this person was sent by my aunt, then the monthly salary must be paid by my aunt. I thank you for your generosity."
Mrs. Sun finally broke down and could no longer maintain her elegance. She screamed, "What? I have to pay the monthly salary?"
Su Nuan nodded seriously, "Yes, my aunt said that since it was given to me, I can't raise it. It must be raised by my aunt."
"Look, I already call you aunt, so please be generous and stop being stingy."
"Besides, you are the one who gave me the indenture, so the monthly salary will naturally come from the Sun Mansion."
Mrs. Sun glared at Su Nuan angrily. She didn't know how to respond. She said that she was sending the maid just to plant spies, and the indenture contract was naturally in her own hands for safety.
But if I don't give it to her, I will be criticized and laughed at.
If I give it to her, who knows if she will turn around and sell him out, and then I will lose both the wife and the army.
Seeing that Madam Sun was silent, Su Nuan looked at Zhao Zhenzhen again and said with a smile, "Sister Zhenzhen's dowry is generous. When you enter the mansion, you can send the dowry to the public."
Zhao Zhenzhen was dissatisfied. Although her face was painted with delicate makeup, it began to twist. "Why should my dowry be sent to the public?"
Su Nuan asked back with a puzzled look on her face: "Don't you want to enter the Marquis' Mansion?"
Zhao Zhenzhen gritted her teeth and said, "Of course I do."
Su Nuan nodded in understanding, "That's right, your dowry must go into the public treasury, and your future expenses in the Marquis' Mansion will be calculated as if you were a concubine."
Zhao Zhenzhu screamed like Madam Sun, "Why? My dowry is all mine. It's impossible for it to go to the public. Besides, I'm a co-wife, not a concubine."
Su Nuan crossed her arms and asked leisurely, "Then tell me which article in Yuan Nation's law states that a man can marry a concubine?"
"All those below the wife are concubines. What are concubines? They are half slaves. How can they be used as assets?"
Zhao Zhenzhen looked up at Master Sun, her eyes filled with shock and confusion. It was obvious that the idea of having two wives as equals was deeply rooted in the minds of people who did not understand the law.
Master Sun coughed dryly and said, "That's right, there is indeed no such thing as a co-wife."
Zhao Zhenzhen's face turned pale and she looked at Ouyang Xing with resentment. Her pitiful appearance really made people feel pity.
