Chapter 180 Seizing the Dowry
Jiang Yunjin sat on the ground for a long time, unable to recover.
His face showed shock, confusion, and a hint of embarrassment.
What made her even more embarrassed was that Lu Jinghuai suddenly started to retch.
"vomit……"
"Stay away from me!" he shouted while vomiting. The veins on his forehead bulged, which was extremely terrifying.
Jiang Yunjin seemed to be greatly humiliated: "What do you mean? Do I make you sick?"
Jiang Yunjin was so shocked by this scene that he trembled all over.
There was a sharp pain in my chest, as if my heart was beating in my throat, and it became difficult to breathe.
His face felt humiliated as if he had been slapped in the face!
She just touched Lu Jinghuai, and he vomited uncontrollably.
"If you think I'm disgusting, why did you ask to marry me? Lu Jinghuai, what do you mean!" Jiang Yunjin had never been insulted like this. On her wedding night, she only kissed Lu Jinghuai.
Lu Jinghuai vomited.
She almost collapsed.
The maid who came with the dowry heard the sound, pushed the door open, and saw this strange scene.
The bride collapsed and sat on the ground, as if she had suffered a great humiliation.
The groom was in the corner, retching in disgust.
Lu Jinghuai got goose bumps all over his body. He couldn't accept being touched, and he couldn't accept being approached.
He suppressed the disgust in his heart and said, "Yun Jin, I didn't mean to humiliate you."
"Yun Jin, I... I will definitely apologize to you. I..." He couldn't say anything, he didn't even dare to reveal a single word.
Jiang Yunjin lay in the maid's arms and cried.
For a woman, when a man vomits because of his touch, it is like rubbing her pride and self-esteem into the ground.
Seeing Lu Jinghuai stuttering and unable to explain himself, she almost collapsed.
"If you want to torture me, there's no need to insult me like this!" She bit her lip, her eyes sparkling and her face full of hurt.
"I betrayed Lu Yanshu for you, abandoned him for you, and became an ungrateful ungrateful person. How dare you treat me like this?"
"If I had known this, why would I choose..." She suddenly stopped talking.
The guilt on Lu Jinghuai's face froze.
"Okay, okay, okay! You've told me the truth, haven't you?" Lu Jinghuai sneered repeatedly, pointing at Jiang Yunjin who was so angry that he spoke without thinking.
"Do you regret it? Do you regret marrying me?"
"It was you who disliked the crippled man in the beginning. What qualifications do you have to blame me?" Lu Jinghuai rushed out in anger.
Jiang Yunjin cried softly.
The maids looked at each other in bewilderment. How could a newlywed couple speak ill of each other on their wedding night?
"How can he think I'm disgusting..." The maid helped Jiang Yunjin up. Jiang Yunjin was lying on the bed crying.
"He is such a heartless man. He lied to me."
Shuang'er bit her lip and held her breath.
"It's not just that..." Shuang'er felt aggrieved.
"I really can't hold it in any longer."
"The Lu family is really not worthy of being on the stage. They are too bullying. Miss, your dowry...was almost lost."
According to custom, the dowry is counted and stored on the second day of the wedding.
"A daughter-in-law's dowry is always considered private property. How can the husband's family take it? We are all respectable families. Do you have any shame?"
"This afternoon, I went to count the dowry. Madam Pei had actually already sent someone to put the dowry into the warehouse. Fortunately, I stopped them quickly, otherwise they would have moved it away long ago." When Shuang'er said this, everyone was stunned.
How could a respectable family seize their daughter-in-law's dowry?
"You were saying sweet words to your son-in-law at that time, so I couldn't report it. Madam Pei took away part of the dowry, saying that she was keeping it for you..." Shuang'er said hesitantly.
"Ridiculous, ridiculous!" The maid beside her turned red with anger.
"Dowry is private property. How can they be so shameless? If we tell anyone about it, people will criticize us!" The head maid had never thought that the Lu family had such a tradition.
Jiang Yunjin was also startled.
Pei always seemed to be reasonable, so how could she take away her dowry?
"Mrs. Pei said that you are young and inexperienced, and don't know how to manage the property. It's just right for you to stay in the mansion and help manage it."
Everyone was speechless, and their contempt for the Lu family increased.
"Rumor has it that the Lu family was already poor back then. It was the original wife, Madam Xu, who used her dowry to support her husband's family, and even..." Shuang'er whispered.
"Even the expenses of keeping Madam Pei and her son-in-law for 18 years were all Madam Xu's dowry."
“The gift you gave as an engagement gift was taken back and returned to Madam Xu.”
"As soon as Madam Xu divorced, the Lu family suffered a great loss. I made some inquiries today..." Shuang'er was smart and generous, and she found out a lot of information.
"It is said that the Lu family even owes the monthly wages to the servants."
Everyone couldn't believe their ears, it was so shocking.
Jiang Yunjin still had tears on her cheeks, and she was stunned when she heard this.
"them……"
"You won't use the young lady's dowry to support the whole mansion, will you?" Shuang'er murmured, making everyone shiver with fear.
"After all, they have criminal records."
Silence, eerie silence.
The silence from everyone was deafening.
Jiang Yunjin was silent for a long time, then whispered, "How much dowry is left? How much do you take away?"
"I took one third of it, and the rest has been put into the private treasury and entered into the account books."
"Give me the key to the private vault."
Jiang Yunjin knew that she would never get her dowry back, so she could only try her best to preserve the rest.
She knew that the Lu family had a hard time, after all, the Pei family had no family background or wealth, but she never thought about...
The situation is that there is no rice to cook.
Her head was buzzing, but she had no way out.
Since she canceled Lu Yanshu's marriage proposal in public and chose Lu Jinghuai, there was no turning back.
As he was speaking, Lu Jinghuai's personal servant came in with a fawning look on his face.
Everyone looked unhappy.
The servant didn't dare to argue.
"Young Madam, the eldest master sent me here to report something." The servant smiled.
"There have been a lot of things going on in the mansion these past few days, and the eldest master couldn't sleep all night. He had caught a cold, and today he was sweating during the wedding reception, and the symptoms have worsened. He is dizzy and nauseous."
"The doctor came over just now and found out that he was forcing himself to get married despite the high fever. His wedding clothes were already soaked."
"He didn't want to tell you because he was afraid you would worry."
"But I never thought that I would hurt my wife."
Jiang Yunjin's feeling of grievance was somewhat relieved.
"Can't he explain it himself?" Jiang Yunjin touched his chest. The severe pain just now seemed not to have subsided yet.
"The eldest master has a high fever. I am afraid that he will pass on his illness to you, so I dare not come."
"How serious is the illness? Can the doctor prescribe some medicine?" Jiang Yunjin asked hurriedly.
The servant secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her angry face retreat.
"The patient is talking nonsense. The doctor prescribed some medicine. I think he will be back to normal after a few days of rest."
The boy smiled on the surface, but he was actually complaining in his heart.
Why did the eldest son resist sleeping with the young lady?
How long can this be delayed?
now.
The plaque of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion was removed quietly.
Hang up the plaque of Lu’s house.
Lu Yuanze knelt in front of the gate with tears streaming down his face, stroking the plaque with heartache.
He is the sinner of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery’s Mansion. He is the sinner of the Marquis’ Mansion.
What did he do wrong?
After the wedding banquet, Lu Chaochao stood on the street corner with her dog, with her bulging belly.
"Hehe, let the storm come even harder..."
You have to hold on.
