Chapter 123 I'll Wait for You to Return the Property
"Gu Ruanci, don't go too far!"
Ye Cheng took a step forward and protected Pan.
When the eunuch came over just now, he ignored the guards who had just gotten up from the ground. He probably understood the empress dowager's attitude.
But he couldn't understand why the Empress Dowager didn't intervene in the matter back then, and didn't even mention her acquaintance with his father's original wife to help Ye Hesheng, so why was she willing to help Gu Runci now?
Pan said, "Ye Cheng, you are the Marquis of Yunyang, the current head of our Marquisate. Pay attention to your image."
Ye Cheng knew that his mother had to face it alone.
Helplessly, he stared at Gu Ruanci and then stood aside.
Pan smiled and asked, "Soft words, anyway, there shouldn't be any grudges between us, right?"
Gu Ruanci also smiled back and said, "The old lady has clear ideas and remains calm at this moment. She is indeed mature and calm, unlike those people who can never get to the point."
Pan still did not retreat, but took a step forward: "Child, if you have anything to say, just say it directly."
Gu Ruanci didn't hide it anymore. "When my grandmother passed away, you were married so quickly. I hope you don't mind. I have no right to say anything. After all, my mother wasn't your daughter, so no one expects you to treat her well. No matter how much she suffered while growing up, it's all the fault of the highly respected old marquis of the Ye family. An incompetent man would sacrifice his original wife and children to please his second wife."
Gu Ruanci's attack seemed to be directed at Ye Keguan, and Ye Keguan had no way to refute it.
As a result, the next words made Pan break down.
"But you coveted my mother's private property to marry your son, and allowed your widowed daughter to have an affair with my mother's husband. You even tried to keep the peace afterward. You weren't ashamed of having such a daughter, and you were proud that she could directly ascend to the throne as a marquis' wife. It's time for you to pay the price for being so stubborn all these years."
Gu Ruanci's tone suddenly changed, which surprised the Ye family.
When Mrs. Pan heard these words, she lost her temper.
Before Gu Ruanci could finish, she said, "You said you brought a dowry for my mother, but when my mother divorced, she gave it all to your bitch daughter. You've made a good calculation. Ye Lanxin married twice and got two dowries. My mother was schemed by you bitches. Not only did she lose the property left by my grandmother, but she also gave her husband and son to your daughter. I know that people like you who are so mean to the bones can't sleep well and will even think they are very successful. Now that I'm back, I officially inform you today that your retribution is on the way."
"Gu Ruanci, I've been putting up with you for so long, but you don't look like a lady from a noble family at all!"
Pan couldn't stand it any longer and finally yelled angrily.
Ye Cheng beside him also asked loudly: "What on earth are you doing here today?"
Gu Ruanci said leisurely: "Of course I came to get my mother's things back, and see if I can piss off a few people."
Her eyes fell on Ye Keguan, her expression paused, and then she put on a bright smile: "But don't worry, old marquis, the blessing I gave you before will definitely come true. Your body will be fine and you can live a healthy life. You must send off all the young people in the Ye family and watch these people with lowly blood leave you one by one."
When Gu Ruanci finished speaking, his tone became stern.
The look in her eyes made Ye Ke shrink back after seeing it.
The Ye family was also frightened by her aura. Ye Chengyun felt this aura and forgot his confidence in an instant, feeling like crying.
"Gu Ruanci, our Great Yao ruled the world with filial piety. Aren't you afraid that one day you won't be able to resolve the issue by doing this?" Ye Cheng asked loudly.
Gu Ruanci said indifferently: "Isn't it filial piety for me to help my grandmother protect her property? Besides, Lord Ye, you will definitely not see that day."
Afterwards, she raised the dowry list in her hand and said, "Since the Empress Dowager's order has arrived, in three days, please ask the Ye family to return my grandmother's dowry intact. I know some of the properties have been expanded by the second son, so you can just give me the cash, but I don't want to see the items my grandmother left behind destroyed, nor do I want to hear that you gave them to Ye Lanxin's daughter and can't get them back. I have made multiple copies of this dowry list, and I would like everyone to help supervise it."
Nongchun and Zangxia each threw a pile of papers into the air. The people took them in their hands, and some were picked up from the ground. The details of the dowry on the papers were extremely clear.
"See you in three days."
Gu Ruanci left behind a dashing figure and walked away.
Pan almost couldn't stand. She didn't expect that Gu Ruanci had become so crazy now.
"Mother, did you see that? She's practically riding on the head of our Ye family."
Qin Kerou pointed in the direction Gu Ruanci left, and was so angry that she didn't know what to say.
Shang Hongmian's eyes were even bloodshot. The betrothal gifts had been sent back by her father and mother, and as Gu Ruanci said, part of them had been given to Ye Chengchu.
No wonder she only brought up this matter now after such a long time since she came back. It turns out she was investigating behind the scenes.
"Bitch, she is a bitch..."
Ye Lingyue felt heartbroken when she thought about Gu Ruanci trying to steal so much property from their Ye family.
"Madam, my mother-in-law..."
Ye Chi asked carefully, looking at Shang Hongmian's expression.
Shang Hongmian was also wondering just now. Her mother had said that she would go to the palace to find the emperor today and put pressure on him. However, the emperor's decree did not arrive, but the empress dowager's decree came instead.
What did Gu Ruanci say to make the Empress Dowager help her regardless of her mother's face?
After Pan adjusted himself, he quickly realized the truth.
"The Empress Dowager has personally issued an order. The dowry list is very clear. We have no way to avoid it..."
Everyone in the Ye family understood that in the current situation, there was really no way to disobey the order.
"Let's go to the Zhou family and tell Lan Xin to sort it out..."
Pan said weakly that some of the things were added to Ye Lanxin's dowry.
Ye Cheng looked helpless and could only order someone to pass on the message.
As a result, when the news reached the Zhou family, the first to rebel were the three Zhou brothers.
"Is she crazy? Why should she ask for back what Ye gave away voluntarily?" Zhou Yuqi asked directly.
Zhou Yuxiu sat there with a particularly gloomy look in his eyes.
Zhou Yuzhi couldn't understand it either: "She's just trying to make things difficult for our two families. She's absolutely crazy."
Ye Lanxin said with some embarrassment, "It's okay to take things from my dowry that originally belonged to my sister, but I gave some of these things to Yu Xiu and the others. After all, they are also my children, so they shouldn't need to be returned, right?"
Zhou Yuqi immediately said, "I won't return it. Is she Ye's daughter? We are also entitled to a share of this private property. Not only will I not return it, I will also ask her to divide the private property into four parts, with three parts for us."
