Chapter 41: Centrifugal, take back what belongs to me
Little Chen smiled and said, "It's easy. Just tell me and I'll have someone bring it to you."
"Then mother will ask someone to get it."
Hearing Lin Miaoyin's light voice, the smile on Little Chen's lips froze for a moment, and she said angrily, "Child, don't you even believe your mother?"
"Yes, I'm worried that my mother will find all kinds of excuses to put me off and keep delaying giving it to me."
When Xiao Chen heard this, her face almost turned green.
Lin Ruhui got angry, "Shut up! You ungrateful little thing!"
He looked at his eldest daughter in front of him with a chill in his heart. "Your mother raised you with great difficulty and always thought of you, but you are so rebellious. Are you worthy of her?"
Little Chen looked hurt and lowered her head in grievance.
Just as Lin Ruhui was about to ask Lin Miaoyin to apologize to Xiao Chen, he heard Lin Miaoyin say, "It's just a personal indenture. Father, do you really want to tie me to the moral pillar?"
She was clearly trying to take back something that belonged to her, but in the end it became her fault.
Over the years, all the income from the original owner's biological mother's shop and land went into Xiao Chen's pocket, but she was still not satisfied and even wanted to hold on to the contract of a servant. So there was no need for her to be polite to her.
"I just said that as long as I get back Yuzhu's indenture, I won't pursue the dowry issue. Since mother is wronged, let's talk it out."
She looked at Xiao Chen and said, "There is at least half of my mother's dowry in this mansion, right? Mother also said that when I got married, there was a disaster and that's why they couldn't buy me a generous dowry. Now three years have passed and the mansion has recovered. Can you return the rest of my mother's dowry to me?"
If she remembered correctly, when the original owner's biological mother got married, she had a total of sixty-four dowries.
When the original owner got married, Xiao Chen not only did not add any dowry to the original owner on top of her mother's dowry, she also embezzled half of her mother's dowry.
Xiao Chen's expression changed slightly, "Miaoyin, what are you doing... We are a family."
It turns out that this idiot came back to settle accounts with her!
She had clearly listened to me in everything before. Not to mention disobeying me, she wouldn't even say harsh words to me. What happened today?
Could it be that she heard something from the Queen when she entered the palace two days ago?
Breaking up with her...!
Lin Miaoyin smiled and said, "Mother is right. We are a family, but brothers have to settle accounts clearly, don't you think?"
Lin Ruhui could no longer bear it, "You rebellious girl!"
Which daughter asks her mother for a dowry, and which daughter settles accounts with her mother one by one? If this gets out, won't people laugh at her?
I'm afraid even he would be reported to those old teachers for not managing his family well.
Lin Miaoyin didn't care about the furious Lin Ruhui at all. He was angry, and she continued her words, "Since mother loves me, she will definitely not want me to suffer injustice in Prince Ning's mansion. Now give me the dowry."
She said it seriously, without any joking in mind.
Little Chen knew that Lin Miaoyin would not give up until she got the dowry, so she looked at Lin Ruhui with an embarrassed look, "I have not been doing well in business these years, and many shops are running out of money. There is nothing left of the dowry left by my sister."
"So the Lin family has been supported by my mother's dowry for so many years?"
Lin Miaoyin sneered, "Mother is also a daughter of the Chen family. Didn't the Chen family prepare a dowry for you when you married in? Since it is your poor management that caused the family to be unable to make ends meet, you should use your own private money to make up for the shortfall. Why did you use my mother's dowry to pay for it?"
"Or does mother want to keep the dowry for my second sister?"
Little Chen didn't expect Lin Miaoyin to be so sharp-tongued today. She was not prepared at all and didn't know how to refute for a moment.
She bit her lip and said, "You and Qingxue are both my children. I will never show favoritism. I have already prepared Qingxue's dowry, just like you did back then. Don't worry about that."
"I don't care how much dowry Lin Qingxue has, I just want to take back what belongs to me."
"Yours?" Lin Ruhui slammed the table. "Every time you come back, your mother gives you money from her private savings. Has she ever settled accounts with you? When your mother passed away, you were less than a year old. If it weren't for your mother, you would have starved to death! She raised you for eighteen years, providing you with food and clothing. Which of these things didn't cost money? Now that you've grown up, you don't care about her kindness! Tell me, which of these tables and chairs in this house belongs to you?"
"Let's put things one way and stop trying to change the subject, father." Lin Miaoyin snorted coldly.
This old man still wants to lead her?
As she spoke, she looked straight at Lin Ruhui, "Father also knows that I have a bad reputation. Even if I do a few more bad things, it's nothing. At most, I will be laughed at for a few days. But father should think it over. It will be bad if your reputation as a clean person is affected."
Seeing Lin Miaoyin barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, Lin Ruhui felt so angry that his chest was pounding.
"Rebellious girl!" He raised his hand and was about to slap Lin Miaoyin.
At this moment, the staff of the mansion came over and said hurriedly, "Right Prime Minister, wait a minute!"
He took two steps to Lin Ruhui and whispered something in his ear. Lin Ruhui looked at Lin Miaoyin again with shock in his eyes, as if he had seen a ghost.
Seeing Lin Miaoyin looking at him fearlessly, he suddenly felt strange.
It seemed as if she didn't recognize the eldest daughter in front of her.
After a long while, he told Xiao Chen, "Go get Yuzhu's indenture."
"Master?" Little Chen almost doubted her ears.
No matter what happened in the past, Lin Ruhui always stood by him. What's more, he was just so angry with Lin Miaoyin, so why would he do what she wanted?
Lin Ruhui took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, "And the dowry she requested, send it to Prince Ning's Mansion within three days."
"Just convert it into silver notes."
Lin Miaoyin smiled and said, "It's mainly because I don't want to worry my mother too much."
Xiao Chen was so angry that her mouth was shaking and she wanted to vomit blood. But she was the most virtuous woman, how could she lose her temper in front of everyone?
Not long after, the maidservant beside Xiao Chen brought Yuzhu's indenture.
After Lin Miaoyin confirmed that it was correct, she put it directly into her arms.
"Thank you, father and mother." Her wish was fulfilled. She didn't want to stay in the Lin family for a moment, so she took Yuzhu out of the yard.
When he arrived outside the mansion and was about to get on the carriage, he heard Lin Ruhui's voice behind him.
"You know medical skills?"
Lin Miaoyin knew that he already knew that she had saved Emperor Ming, so she nodded.
"How could I not know?"
"My father is so busy, how can he pay attention to what I have learned and what I have mastered?"
Hearing her sarcasm, Lin Ruhui's eyebrows jumped fiercely, "Let me ask you, what is the matter with the emperor's illness?"
"If father wants to know, then go to the palace and ask the emperor."
After Lin Miaoyin finished speaking, she lowered the car curtain and shook Lin Ruhui's angry beard violently.
