Chapter 14 Give me back my dowry!
When Su Tangyu returned to Tangliju, she felt completely limp.
She lay on the beauty couch, soft and boneless, her hands folded, her head resting on them. Her slender waist, her curvy figure, and her long, thin legs half-draped over the edge of the couch beneath her skirt.
So tired!
Back and leg pain!
I'm so sleepy that I want to take another nap.
But it didn't work. Su Tangyu forced herself to stay awake and closed her eyes to organize her thoughts.
So far, so successful!
The Ningguo Marquis Mansion would kneel down and beg her for Gu Mingyan, and the scumbag father and stepmother would kneel down and beg her for Su Zhaoyang!
Next…
It's her turn to make conditions!
Su Tangyu licked her lips. Xiao Jin was fierce and violent, with strong desires, but he was indeed a good backer.
"Miss Su, are you hungry?"
Qinglan came in with a tray, smiling brightly and flatteringly: "I made some sweet lotus root porridge, it's sweet, please try it."
It would be fine if I didn’t say it, but as soon as I did, my stomach started growling.
Su Tangyu smiled faintly and slowly sat up to eat.
Her almond-shaped eyes were sparkling and quiet. She glanced at Qinglan, then looked at Yinlian secretly.
Xiao Jin gave her the silver lotus.
She knew very well that Yinlian would not obey her orders. Moreover, Yinlian was a former secret guard and had martial arts skills, so she was not easy to deceive!
Being watched by Yinlian, her freedom was restricted and she could not act rashly.
But there are also benefits!
After finishing her porridge, Su Tangyu sat in front of the dressing mirror and used rouge and powder to cover up the traces of ambiguity on her body.
Just as she finished, the maid came to the door and announced: "The master and the mistress are here."
Su Tangyu raised her eyes and looked at herself in the mirror. Her face was cold and there was no warmth in her eyes.
Here we come!
Su Tangyu walked out slowly and gracefully.
Su Jian and Song Meifang had mixed feelings of joy and worry on their faces. They looked into each other's eyes and whispered their lines.
"Daddy, Auntie." Su Tangyu shouted coldly.
"Good girl!"
Su Jian's old face was full of smiles. He didn't mind Su Tangyu's cold face at all. He called her affectionately, "My dear daughter, can you rest at home?"
Song Meifang no longer hated her for calling her "aunt".
She flattered him with a smile: "Tangyu girl, do you want to go shopping with your aunt tomorrow? What do you want to buy? Your aunt will buy it for you!"
Hahaha!
Su Tangyu's pretty face was cold. She walked past them and sat down.
It’s time to show your cards!
Su Tangyu's voice was cold and calm, "Daddy, Auntie, just say what you want to say."
Su Jian and Song Meifang looked at each other.
Without beating around the bush, Su Jian opened his mouth directly: "Daughter, what do you want in order to cancel the engagement?"
"Tangyu, the Ningguo Marquis has arrived! They said they want to marry your sister!"
Song Meifang said with a tone of boasting and pride, "My Lord, you and Zhaoyang are truly in love! Tangyu, why do you have to break them up and make others laugh at you?"
"If you break off the engagement obediently, your father and I will compensate you!"
Su Tangyu just thought they were talking nonsense!
She was sober and calm, her tone cold and firm: "Daddy, if you agree to my three conditions, I will agree to cancel the engagement."
Su Jian's eyes rolled around, "Tell me what you're talking about."
"First, I want this house to be transferred to me under a new name."
After these words were spoken, the two of them looked extremely ugly.
Su Jian was the first to disagree and firmly objected: "Nonsense! This is the residence of the Minister of Works! How can I give it to you?"
"Dad was wrong."
Su Tangyu looked at him coldly with her almond-shaped eyes. "This mansion was purchased by my mother! Every blade of grass, every brick and tile, all cost my mother's money!"
Su Jian's face turned green.
Relying on his deceased wife's money to get promoted and become rich has always been a taboo for Su Jian, and he doesn't allow anyone to mention it.
Su Tangyu not only mentioned it, but also stabbed him in the heart, "Daddy, the house deed is in Mom's name!"
"My mother left a will: the house is for me, not you!"
Song Meifang's face twisted as she heard this, staring at Su Jian in disbelief. Seeing that he didn't say anything, Song Meifang's heart skipped a beat and she began to panic.
Land in Kyoto is extremely expensive!
House deeds are incredibly expensive!
Although Su Jian was the Minister of Works, his salary was limited. He was not even qualified to buy one percent of this house.
"Master! I can't give it to you!" Song Meifang shook her head repeatedly.
All the dignitaries know that they live here. If they move out, what will others think of them?
Song Meifang can't afford to lose face!
Su Jian was no exception, but when he thought of his precious daughter's reputation and marriage, he gritted his teeth.
"For Zhaoyang..." Su Jian winked, "There are two private houses at home, but they are a bit small."
Song Meifang's eyes were red.
Su Jian wiped his face and continued to ask Su Tangyu: "Dad agreed to the first condition! What else?"
Su Tangyu curled the corners of her lips, her almond-shaped eyes smiling, sparkling and charming.
Her smile was so charming, but Su Jian and Song Meifang were both nervous!
"The second one!"
Su Tangyu deliberately dragged out her tone, "I want my dowry——"
Su Jian’s eyes went dark.
Song Meifang covered her heart and almost fainted.
"After my mother passed away, all her dowry and other items were left to me as a dowry."
Su Tangyu smiled brightly, "Dad, I've been away from home for twelve years. Is my dowry still there? Isn't a single cent missing?"
The couple were speechless for a long time.
Su Tangyu's mother was the daughter of the richest man in Jiangnan, and her dowry was extremely large. After marrying into the Su family, she managed her finances and purchased many shops and property deeds, such as the villa in the suburbs, which was also her property.
All of these were left to Su Tangyu alone after his death!
The amount of Su Tangyu's dowry is terrifying!
Su Jian was heartbroken when the house was transferred.
Asking for dowry?
This is going to kill him!
Otherwise, they would not have secretly plotted to destroy Su Tangyu's innocence so as to further seize and embezzle her dowry.
what to do?
Su Jian and Song Meifang exchanged glances, and their hearts became vicious.
Su Tangyu was only six years old at the time. What did she know?
I'm afraid I have no idea how much the dowry is!
They have the final say!
Song Meifang smiled again, "Don't worry, Tangyu girl. Even if we cancel the engagement, your dowry will definitely be given to you when you get married!"
"I don't want a future!" Su Tangyu's eyes were cold, and she knew exactly what they were planning.
She said, "When I get the dowry, I will break off the engagement!"
Song Meifang couldn't control her expression for a moment and wanted to tear her mouth apart.
Su Jian was cunning and sly. He held Song Meifang down and forced a false smile on his face. "Okay! Daddy promises you. What's the third condition?"
"I haven't made up my mind yet. Daddy and Auntie, you should go and prepare the transfer and dowry first, and then come find me."
Su Tangyu immediately drove them away, "Qinglan, Yinlian, get out!"
Su Jian caught a glimpse of another unfamiliar face.
He was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked: "Where did she come from?"
Yinlian stepped forward and said, "I am Yinlian, a servant of the Regent's Secret Guard. I have been ordered to protect Miss Su!"
"Su Tangyu, you really climbed into the Regent's bed!"
Song Meifang instantly became agitated, as if she had caught her in a trap. She turned around and threatened, "Your innocence is at stake, so what right do you have to negotiate with us? If this gets out, I'll have you thrown into a pig cage!"
Su Tangyu was happy.
She smiled with her eyebrows curved, fearless: "Auntie, you dare to spread rumors about the Regent? Go ahead! I'll wait."
