Chapter 90 Obstruction in obtaining the token
"Don't make it public, otherwise..."
Song Mingzhu was so scared that she quickly shut her mouth.
Soon, a person slowly walked out from behind the screen, and Song Mingzhu opened her eyes wide.
How could it be the eldest brother?
Song Mingen glanced at Zhang Feng, who quickly put away his sword and moved quickly to the door to stare.
Song Mingzhu looked at Song Mingen with an expressionless face and felt a little panicked.
"Brother, you...why are you here?"
This was a big surprise to her.
There were obviously more servants and guards in the Wu Mansion than before he left Beijing.
How did the eldest brother get in without being seen by them?
"Come and get my token, bring it to me." Song Mingen said lightly.
Song Mingzhu was very depressed.
How could the eldest brother be so cruel? She is his most beloved sister!
I'm not here to see her, I'm just here to ask for a token of my love!
Once she gives away this token, she will never see her brother again.
"Brother, it's getting late now. The warehouse is dim and there are so many things on display that it's hard to find them. I'll find them and give them to you tomorrow, okay?"
Song Mingen looked at Song Mingzhu's obviously tired face at the moment, without a trace of softness in his heart, "Not good."
Song Mingzhu felt a pang of anxiety in her heart. She really didn't want to lose such a good brother.
"I've added a lot of things to my private library over the years, and they're all in a mess. It's hard to find them right now. It'll be easier to find tomorrow when there's more light."
Song Mingen stared at her with a cold tone, "You disappoint me so much. You even learned to make up lies. You have been good at organizing various objects since you were a child. I also taught you arithmetic. Just look for them according to the marks, and you will find them every time."
Song Mingzhu blushed with embarrassment.
The eldest brother not only taught her how to read and write, but also taught her how to keep accounts and manage the household, and even asked Wen Can to teach her how to run a shop and make money.
"Don't be angry, brother. I just don't want to never see you again after tonight."
Song Mingen turned his head away and said, "Don't talk about this. We have already severed our relationship and have no relationship anymore. There is no need to see each other again. Come find me quickly and we can part ways amicably. I don't want to be separated from my friends because of a token of love."
If even a passerby can’t do it, then he is an enemy, right?
No, she doesn't want it!
At least if we meet on the street in the future, we can still take a look at each other.
"I'll have someone get it for me right now."
Song Mingzhu took out a locked box from the cabinet, took out a thick booklet from it and started searching through it.
Song Mingen glanced at it and then looked away.
After a moment, Song Mingzhu put away the booklet and left the room. "Qiuyue, go to my private vault and get the brocade box with eighteen squares in the fifth row. Hurry."
"Oh, okay!"
Qiuyue saw that Song Mingzhu looked anxious and walked very quickly.
In less than half a minute, Qiuyue came back hurriedly with the box in her hand and ran into Wu Lingheng head-on.
"This servant has met the master."
Wu Lingheng frowned, "You're so anxious, how can you be so unbecoming!"
"Master, please forgive me. I am here to get something for Madam."
Wu Lingheng glanced at the box in Qiuyue's hand, and when he saw that it was Zhuzhu's dowry, he immediately felt annoyed.
Is it true that old lady Chen Chunhua, when she moves into the Wu family, is planning to coax all of Zhuzhu's most valuable belongings over to her?
He took it from Qiuyue's arms and opened the box. A dazzling white light burst out.
Wu Lingheng closed his eyes subconsciously, and the next moment his palm felt empty.
Wu Lingheng suddenly opened his eyes with a pain in his neck.
"Song Mingen, what...what do you want to do? Come..."
"Shout, let's see who's faster, Afeng's sword or your guards?"
"This is the capital, and I'm an official appointed by the court. I advise you not to act recklessly."
Song Mingen snorted, picked up the white jade plate and looked at it carefully.
"Song Mingen, these are Zhuzhu's dowry. Isn't it too much for you to want to take them back now?"
Song Mingen ignored him and looked at Song Mingzhu beside him, "You didn't lie to me. Are you sure this is my token of love?"
Token?
Wu Lingheng was shocked. The jade token turned out to be Song Mingen's token of trust?
The jade is of excellent quality and color.
"Brother, there's no need for me to lie to you. Every item of my dowry was carefully selected by you. This jade pendant is of top quality. Where can I find such fine jade?"
Song Mingen closed the box and said, "I have the token. I will not disturb you anymore. I will say goodbye now."
"Song Mingen, you are not allowed to leave. This is the dowry you gave to Zhuzhu. How can you take it back?"
Song Mingen was going to use the jade token to find his biological parents. He didn't want to see this happen!
Not everyone can own a jade pendant. If you are not a wealthy businessman, you must be a very noble person.
If the other party had an official position, wouldn't Song Mingen be able to escape from his humble background?
Song Mingen's face was gloomy. "Why are you so excited? Are you also thinking about Song Mingzhu's dowry?"
"I...I didn't!" Wu Lingheng refused to admit it. All these dowries belonged to his Wu family once they entered his family!
"You don't have one? You're a small-time fifth-rank official in Beijing. Even if you've managed to keep your ancestral home and land, or even if you've sold them all, you still wouldn't be able to afford a mansion like this in Beijing. Even if you could just make do, your meager salary wouldn't be enough to support so many servants and guards, right?"
Wu Lingheng was furious. "Our Wu family was once a prominent and prestigious family in Penglai County. How could each branch not have some private property passed down from their ancestors? I can't afford to lose face by touching Zhuzhu's dowry! Since this jade token is included in Zhuzhu's dowry list, there's no reason for her family to take it back!"
"Let me correct you. I, Song Mingen, am no longer a member of the Song family, and naturally I am not Song Mingzhu's family. I have the right to take back the dowry I saved for Song Mingzhu."
"Big brother."
"How dare you!" Wu Lingheng was furious. "These dowries were all registered and filed with the government. You can't just take them back. Even the laws of the Dayuan Dynasty forbid it."
Song Mingen smiled. "The premise of the dowry is that Song Mingzhu is my biological sister and a member of my family, but she is not. The letter of severance has long been sent to the Penglai County government for record. I am not on the Song family tree anymore. I can get my dowry back with the letter of severance."
"Don't go too far!"
Song Mingen sneered, "Is this too much? Ah Feng, immediately send a signal to Ah Can's brothers to move all the dowry to the Jiang Mansion tonight."
Zhang Feng then pulled out the flare from his waist.
"Brother, please don't!" Song Mingzhu rushed over, crying bitterly, "All the dowry has been taken away, how do you want me to live? Please don't take it away..."
"You won't take it?! You're going to let Wu Lingheng use the money I earned from the dowry to support his men and continue to harm me? Either you sign a divorce agreement with him tonight, or I'll move all the dowry, including Mingyue Tower!"
Song Mingzhu panicked, "Brother, I..."
Wu Lingheng shouted, "Song Mingen, you are so arrogant! This is the government residence. Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have the Jiang family as your backer! You are so shameless that you even forced Zhuzhu to divorce me!"
At this time, Yu Tao rushed over with a group of guards.
"How dare you! Release my master immediately! Taking an imperial official hostage is a capital crime!"
The deafening sound of "whoosh" enraged Wu Lingheng.
