Chapter 59: Beat the Guardian
Ye Chutang was born into a family of ancient martial arts that has been passed down for thousands of years, and he has seen a lot of good things.
But when she saw the dowry in the box, she was still shocked.
There were 128 loads of dowry, and the boxes were four times the size of ordinary dowry boxes, so the amount of dowry was huge.
Any item you pick out is worth more than a thousand taels.
Such a rare treasure can be sold at a high price of ten thousand taels.
It took Ye Jingchuan more than an hour.
Kong Ru's three children took half of the dowry, and Ye Anling took thirty-two loads.
Ye Siyin had twenty-four loads, and the remaining forty were Ye Chutang's.
Ye Jingchuan felt a little uneasy as he looked at Ye Chutang, who had not expressed any opinion from beginning to end.
"Chu'er, if there is anything you like in Ling'er and Yin'er's dowry, you can exchange it."
Aunt Jiang agreed with a smile, "Miss, this dowry was left by Madam Tang, and it's mainly for you."
"With me as the main one? But I don't want to share the dowry. Are you going to give it back to me?"
Aunt Jiang's smile froze, and she said unnaturally, "It's not easy for me to go against Madam Tang's last wish."
"You guys told me about the last wish? I didn't hear it."
Seeing that Ye Chutang seemed to be going back on his word, Kong Ru quickly spoke up.
"Chu'er, your mother was seriously ill at that time, and there were many maids who served her. They can all serve as witnesses."
Ye Chutang sneered, "The maid's indenture is in your hands, so you have the final say."
Ye Jingchuan had finally divided up the dowry and didn't want any more trouble to happen.
He made the decision: "The dowry has been divided, that's it."
After saying that, he looked at Ye Chutang and said, "When you get married, Dad will give you more makeup."
Ye Chutang ignored Ye Jingchuan's pancake and patted the huge box.
"I heard that my mother's dowry emptied half of the Tang family. Every box was filled to the brim, but why are some boxes only about 60% to 70% full?"
Naturally, it was secretly hidden by Ye Jingchuan.
He said without any guilt: "Don't believe all rumors. In addition, your mother sold a lot of dowry in order to help the Ye family gain a foothold in the capital and to help your father's career."
Ye Chutang didn't believe a word of it, but she didn't ask any further questions.
Anyway, she has a way to get back all the dowry.
"I understand. Should we keep these dowries in the temple or take them back to the courtyard?"
Ye Jingchuan was just about to say that they should be placed in the Buddhist temple for collective care when Aunt Jiang spoke.
"Master, the second young lady is getting married soon, and Yin'er will be married soon too. How about sending their dowries to their respective courtyards first and assigning someone to guard them?"
She felt at ease only when the things were placed in front of her.
Ye Anling thought so too.
"Dad, these dowry boxes are too big and too old. I want to replace them with ordinary new ones. Then you and I can add a few more and make up a total of 128 dowry boxes. Not only will the Shangshu Mansion be proud, but Eunuch De will also be very happy."
Ye Jingchuan thought this was a good idea, "Okay, let's do it."
When these words were spoken, the happiest person was Ye Siyin.
She bowed and said, "Thank you, Dad. Thank you, elder sister."
Ye Jingchuan reached out and helped Ye Siyin up.
"We are a family, so don't be so formal in the future."
Ye Anling's gaze fell on Ye Jingchuan's hand holding up Ye Siyin, her eyes slightly cold.
I never thought that this concubine with no sense of existence would one day be valued!
"Dad, it's getting late. Let the guards move the dowry."
Ye Chutang took the lead and said, "Before you take the dowry, you must first make a list and sign it. I have to burn it for my mother to let her know that you have fulfilled her last wish."
"So, you better not lie to me, or my mother won't let you go."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expression changed slightly.
Ye Jingchuan pulled the corners of his stiff lips.
"Chu'er, how could Dad lie to you? I just think there's no need to make so much trouble. Just tell me when we go to pay tribute to your mother."
"You have to make a list and sign it, otherwise no one can take a single piece of the dowry!"
After Ye Chutang finished speaking, he slapped the dowry box.
The dowry box sank into the ground in an instant.
Not to mention Ye Jingchuan and his companions, even the guards who were good at martial arts broke out in cold sweats.
If this force hits your body, you will definitely die!
Kong Ru was so frightened that she could hardly stand. She quickly said, "Chu'er's idea is very good. Let's do it according to her idea."
Ye Jingchuan nodded vigorously, "The list must be written and signed!"
Ye Chutang nodded with satisfaction, "Dad, without my mom you wouldn't be where you are today, you can write it."
"Okay, Dad will write it."
Ye Jingchuan asked the security guard to bring tables and chairs and prepare pens, ink, paper and inkstone.
He wrote the list, Aunt Jiang ground the ink, and Kong Ru reported the dowry, and they worked together very well.
It was almost noon and the sun was scorching.
Ye Anling and Ye Siyu immediately asked the security guard to bring an umbrella and hold it for them.
Ye Chutang gave the task of holding the umbrella to his two evil sisters on the pretext of practicing martial arts.
The guard didn't want to be smashed to pieces by Ye Chutang's palm, so he flattered him madly.
"Young lady is a martial arts expert. We are no match for her. We voluntarily admit defeat."
"We only know some basic Kung Fu and are not worthy of fighting with the young lady."
"Miss..."
Ye Chutang interrupted the guard and said, "Don't be afraid. We are only exchanging moves. We won't use internal energy. The lethality won't be great."
She has just started to practice internal strength, so it will be difficult to achieve any results in a short period of time.
Just now, she slammed the dowry box into the ground. She didn't use kung fu, but earth-related supernatural powers.
The guard had no idea what was going on and was scared to death.
But he didn't dare to disobey Ye Chutang's order, so he had to go ahead.
They didn't dare to hurt Ye Chutang, but she dared to be ruthless.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Ye Chutang had beaten the twenty guards to a pulp.
Her ferocity frightened Ye Anling and Ye Siyin so much that they dared not look around and tried hard to reduce their presence.
Ye Chutang wiped his sweat and kicked the security guard closest to him.
"Go ask Butler Chen for some fruit and snacks. I'm tired, hungry, and thirsty."
"Yes, Miss."
The guard struggled to get up and limped away.
After a while, a maid brought fruits, snacks and tea.
Ye Chutang ate and drank while admiring the five people who were sweating profusely in the sun.
At three quarters after noon, Ye Jingchuan finally finished writing the dowry list.
While turning his aching wrist, he said, "Ling'er, Yin'er, sign and seal your share of the dowry."
Kong Ru signed on behalf of Ye Anzhi and Ye Anjun.
After the three of them signed, Ye Jingchuan handed the list to Ye Chutang.
"Chu'er, are you satisfied now?"
Ye Chutang took the list, confirmed that it was correct, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Miss Ye Er and Miss Ye San, you can take your share of the dowry now."
After saying that, she turned and left.
After Ye Jingchuan told the guards to keep an eye on the dowry, he chased after them.
"Chu'er, the dowry has been distributed. Can you go see your grandmother?"
Ye Chutang kept walking, "No, she has been causing trouble for thousands of years, it's not that easy for her to die."
After saying this, she left the Shangshu Mansion and went to the Poetry Chanting Tower, a favorite place among scholars and literati.
