Chapter 185 Lu Yingxi calls for help
Lu Yingxi was so angry at his shameless words that her blood boiled.
"You, you dare to do this to me, I will beat this kid right now!"
Jiang Xingyi has figured out her routine. Every time they quarrel, she threatens him with the child. In fact, she is the one who is most reluctant to abort the child.
Without her child, she would have no bargaining chips. How could she do such a losing business?
"You can beat me if you want, I don't care. Anyway, there are plenty of women who can bear children for me."
After saying this nonsense, he turned and left.
Lu Yingxi sat dejectedly on the chair, her eyes full of hatred.
Why did her life become like this?
After an unknown amount of time, her expression gradually became firm.
She must give birth to this child.
She has no other way out, and the Jiang family is indeed her last place to stay.
Without this child, she would lose even the Jiang family as her support.
She wants to rely on this child to fight back!
She told Jinju, "Sell the headgear in my dowry and get some change."
Money makes the world go round. If she wants to live a better life in the Jiang family, she has to spend money.
Jinju went there quickly.
But soon, she ran back in a panic, looking anxious, "Young Madam, this is not good!"
Lu Yingxi frowned, "Is the sky falling?"
What could be worse than this?
Jin Jue's face turned grim. "I just went to the storehouse to get your hair ornaments and discovered that most of your dowry is missing! All the valuable things are gone!"
"What?"
Lu Yingxi stood up from her seat in a flash, but her movements were so sudden that she almost stumbled, and her stomach began to ache again.
"You, what did you just say?"
Jinju repeated what he had just said with a grim expression. Lu Yingxi's head was buzzing and a surge of anger rushed to the top of her head.
"Where's Mrs. Zhang, the one who's looking after the dowry? Bring her up here!"
Soon, a thin old woman was brought up. She was the dowry that Lu Yingxi brought from the Lu family. She was the one chosen for her by Fang. She was honest and reliable. Lu Yingxi then handed the key to the warehouse to her, but she didn't expect that such a big mistake would happen!
Lu Yingxi's stomach ached as she got angry. She could only suppress her anger and ask, "Tell me! What happened to my dowry? Where did it go? Did you steal from me?"
Mrs. Zhang's eyes flickered and she stammered.
"You're not going to tell me, right? Fine, drag me away and beat me until I die!"
When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she panicked and kowtowed immediately, "Young Madam, please spare me. I didn't steal anything. I would never dare to do that! Those things have all been moved away by Madam. Madam is the head of this Jiang family, and I dare not disobey!"
Dong had a deliberate plan but unintentionally sent people to investigate Zhang Pozi's son and deliberately set a trap for him to commit a crime. Zhang Pozi was eager to save her son and soon turned against her and betrayed Lu Yingxi.
Lu Yingxi's eyes were red with anger, it was indeed that old hag!
Not only did she steal her dowry, but she also dared to act like a mother-in-law in front of her, and even let the servants treat her harshly. She is a piece of shit!
"That's my stuff. How could you let that old hag just move away without my order? You didn't even report it in time. If Jinju hadn't discovered the clue today, would you have kept this a secret until my death? Come on, drag him out and beat him to death!"
Jinju hurriedly advised, "Young Madam, we still need to keep a witness."
Lu Yingxi finally suppressed her anger and said, "Just hold on for a while."
Mrs. Zhang collapsed to the ground, begging for mercy repeatedly, "Young Madam, please spare me, please spare me. I was also forced to speak out because of your threats. I know I was wrong. Please, please forgive me this time!"
But Lu Yingxi was unmoved. Mrs. Zhang was dragged out, and soon her miserable wails could be heard in the yard.
Lu Yingxi stroked her belly, her face showing forbearance and a hint of pain.
Jin Ju panicked, "Young Madam, please don't get excited. No matter how important money is, it is not as important as the child in your belly!"
Lu Yingxi's eyes were red and she was filled with hatred to the extreme.
"Send someone back to the Lu family and tell them the truth. Ask my father to come in person. If he doesn't want to come, ask the elders! My dear sister is about to become the Princess of Jin, but I'm being bullied by my in-laws. I want to see if the Lu family will intervene!"
"I will arrange it right away. Please lie down first and have a good rest. Don't disturb the fetus again."
Lu Yingxi took a deep breath and calmed the turbulent emotions in her heart, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."
She was still waiting to use her unborn baby as a bargaining chip, so how could she let anything happen to him?
The Jiang family is unkind, so don't blame her for being unjust!
When Mrs. Dong arrived, Mrs. Zhang had been beaten to the point where she was barely breathing her last breath, uttering weak groans.
There was a pool of blood on the ground in the yard. Her waist and hips were beaten to pieces, and the blood and flesh were blurred. It made people feel cold in their hearts when they saw it.
All the maids and servants were silent. Dong frowned and had a bad feeling in her heart.
Lu Yingxi was so ruthless that she beat the man half to death. I'm afraid this matter will not end well.
Dong wanted to go in, but was politely stopped outside the door by the maid.
"Madam, please stay. My young mistress is feeling unwell and has already gone to bed. Please come back next time."
Mrs. Dong couldn't help but feel anxious. Could she really be having a miscarriage? Otherwise, why wouldn't she come to ask for clarification right away?
She soon found out why.
The servant came hurriedly to report that someone from the Lu family had arrived!
Not only Lu Guanxuan came, but all the elders of the Lu family also came.
Dong's heart skipped a beat. This little bitch actually went back to ask for help.
While ordering someone to ask the master to come back, she walked out.
Lu Guanxuan brought a group of clan elders to the Jiang family and caused a big commotion.
In the past, he might not have cared much about his daughter, but just as Lu Yingxi expected, the Lu family is no longer the same as before. Lu Zhiran is about to become the Princess of Jin, but Lu Yingxi is being bullied by the Jiang family. If the Lu family does not care, wouldn't it be a laughing stock?
With all the evidence and witnesses, Dong had to admit that she had embezzled Lu Yingxi's dowry. Under the pressure of the Lu family elders and the threat of Lu Guanxuan threatening to report Jiang Yongkang again, the Jiang family had to agree to return the embezzled dowry.
"To be honest, it's not that I'm greedy for money and want to embezzle my daughter-in-law's dowry. Those things didn't end up in my pocket. They were all taken away by the Xuanping Marquis' Mansion. They are such a big mansion, but they can't even afford their own daughter's dowry. They had no choice but to ask us for help. This idea was also theirs. I was also tempted by the devil and agreed to this matter. It was really foolish."
These words left everyone stunned.
When marrying off your own daughter, you actually stole someone else's dowry to make up the number?
Lu Guanxuan was extremely angry. What a shameless Xuanping Marquis Mansion! It was bad enough that they embezzled their eldest daughter's dowry, but now they even embezzled his youngest daughter's dowry in a roundabout way. They were simply shameless!
Dong shifted the blame to someone else. "We, the Jiang family, really didn't dare to offend the Xuanping Marquis' Mansion, so we had no choice but to hold our noses and hand over the things. Now it will be difficult to get them back. But if the Lu family comes to ask for it, I think they won't dare to refuse."
