Su Chen had just dealt with the Rong family and eliminated the adulterer, and most of the anger in his heart was relieved. However, the Rong family was still an eyesore. Now the old lady's funeral was important. After the funeral, he would make sure that the entire Rong family was wiped out.
Rong Yang also hated him at this time. He treated his son's injury overnight and finally saved his life. However, he consulted several famous doctors in succession, and they all said that the part of his son's body that was cut off was too thorough and there was no possibility of survival.
He was filled with despair. He had lost his official position, his son was ruined, and his descendants were extinct. He blamed the Bai family and Su Chenggang for everything.
"Everything for the Bai family started with your safe birth of the child. If you were alive and your son was fine, Su Chengang would not have given up on Wanting. My son and grandson would have been fine. Everything in my Rong family is over, and you can't expect to have an easy life either."
On the fourth day after the funeral, the old lady's family and the Su family's relatives arrived. Ping County where they lived was two days' journey from the capital. Even after sending letters and traveling, they arrived hurriedly at noon on the fourth day.
There were more than a hundred people from my uncle's family, my uncle's family, other relatives as well as their descendants, both men and women, and the mansion was suddenly short of staff.
Bai Zhiyue is responsible for arranging accommodation, food and everything else.
The people in my uncle's family have always looked down on the Bai family, so when they came, they were very critical of the Bai family.
"The courtyard must be furnished with the finest, with bird's nest and shark's fin every day. The quilts must be made of silk; others are too coarse for our bodies to bear. The bowls for eating must be made of jade, and the chopsticks must be made of silver. As the largest family in Ping County, we cannot use such low-quality items.
You, my daughter-in-law, didn't take good care of the old lady when she was sick. It's simply outrageous. If we are not careful in the slightest while here, the Marquis will divorce you."
Bai Zhiyue wanted to laugh when she heard this
"The best courtyards are Xiyuan and Rongyuan. However, the old lady's original residence burned down and hasn't been repaired yet. As you know, she's lying in a coffin where she lives now. Rongyuan is second best, but the concubine who poisoned the old lady just died there the day before yesterday. If you don't mind the bad luck, you can live there."
When this was said, my aunt-in-law was so angry that she slammed the table.
"You vicious woman, you actually let us live in a place like that? Do you still want to be the Marquis' wife?"
"Don't you want to live in the best gardens? I've already told you, those two are the best. If you want to live there, go ahead. And whether I can become the Marquis's wife is not up to you.
This is the Marquis's Mansion, not your courtyard. If you want to eat bird's nest and shark's fin, go back home. The Marquis's Mansion is hosting a funeral, not a wedding banquet. Saying such things really embarrasses the old lady."
In fact, although the Zhang family is a noble family, there are few useful people in the court now. The official positions are generally not high, and their status has long been much lower than before.
Without the protection of official power, the industries in their hands were naturally impacted, and the profits decreased year by year. They relied on the favor of their uncle in the Marquis' Mansion to become a bully in Ping County, but no one knew them outside Ping County.
Uncle Zhang Fengze first glared at his wife who was so angry, and then he didn't say a word to Bai.
"What do you mean? Now that the old lady is gone, I, as her uncle, have no face in front of Gang'er. She treated my sister the same way every time she came before. But now that you are here, you are not allowed to do anything. You look down on us."
Isn’t it true? All the money spent on the entertainment in the past was hers, and all the good things used were the ones she had.
It was then that Bai Zhiyue discovered that the bracelets and jade hairpins worn by several female relatives were once part of Bai's dowry, and she had always taken a lot of them every time she came.
"Aunt, second aunt, third aunt, cousins, why do the things on your heads and hands look exactly like the ones I lost from my dowry?"
Then he stepped forward and took off a jade hairpin from his aunt's head.
"Just say I lost it. Look, there's my mark on it. There's a Bai here, and a Yue here. How did all of this end up on you? I almost reported it to the authorities, but luckily I didn't. Otherwise, the flood would have washed away the Dragon King Temple and washed it all over my uncle's house."
Of course she knew that these were either taken away by force or given away under duress.
Now they still dare to make trouble in front of me, I'll just have to fight them back.
"Nonsense, these are obviously all given by you!"
Bai Zhiyue performed a refusal to admit
"I clearly didn't send it. Since I can't explain it clearly, I might as well go to the authorities and make it clear. I also happened to have lost a lot of things, and I was planning to report it to the authorities to search for them."
She insisted that she had never sent it, and let's see what they could do.
What's the point of talking about whether she likes it or not? Wasn't Bai very generous in the past? She never dared to talk back. Is she so bold today?
At this moment, a naughty kid suddenly rushed over and tried to hit her.
"You bad woman, how dare you bully my mother? I'll beat you to death. Your things are ours. I can take as much as I want. If you dare not give them to me, my uncle will kill you."
Very good, what the naughty kid said is very timely.
"When did my things become your Zhang family's? No wonder so many of them are missing. It turns out you took them all. Do you know how much they are worth? The total value of the lost items is over 200,000 taels.
If you don't give it to me, kill me. Fine, fine, I'll go to my mother's spirit place and ask if she feels the same way."
Bai Zhiyue turned around and left. There were many people coming and going in the mourning hall, and she didn't believe they could afford to lose that person.
Uncle and his men were anxious.
"Ms. Bai, stop right there. Where's Gang'er? Why don't you take care of your daughter-in-law? What are you trying to do?"
If I ask you for compensation, return what you took and give me what you ate. Forget it, don't spit it out. But all of this will be counted on Su Chenggang later.
"You all want to kill me, why can't I speak up? My mother-in-law can't make the decision. I'm going to Yingtian Prefecture and let the officials make the decision."
At this time, Su Chen just hurriedly followed
"What are you guys doing? Bai, do you still behave like a mistress?"
"What else do I want? The Zhang family said that everything I own belongs to them, take as much as you want. If I don't give it to you, you'll kill me. Ha, am I making trouble?"
His expression froze and he looked at his uncles and aunts with anger.
The uncle was so angry that he slapped the kid.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Why don't you apologize to your uncle and aunt?"
"No, no, this is what you all say all the time, why don't you let me say it?"
The naughty child sat on the ground and cried violently
The adults were so embarrassed by what they said that they all thought so. But the person is not dead, so are you stupid to say that in front of others?
“Heh~”
Bai Zhiyue looked at Su Chengang with disdain
"I'm going to say this today. Whoever took something from me will return it immediately, regardless of the amount. If anything is missing, I'll pay for it. If anything is missing, I'll report it to the police and report it as a theft.
If you want to cause trouble, don't do it in front of me. You know I won't accept it. Otherwise, I won't care who you are. "
