Chapter 2046 Falling Out
"Ah! Stop! You bitch!!!"
Sheng Xia Ming lost the opportunity and could only be suppressed and beaten, and then roared incompetently.
Shengxia Cicada really got angry, settling old and new grudges together, ignoring the opponent's random waving hands, grabbing the opponent's neck with both hands, tightening it little by little, and said:
"You mother and daughter want to take everything from me. I've endured it enough. I'm going to be the one who supports you even if I die! You go to hell with me!"
Sheng Xia Ming felt suffocated. Looking at the somewhat crazy Sheng Xia Cicada, she was really scared, and then she fainted as her eyes rolled back.
Sheng Xia Ming's maid was so frightened that her legs and legs were weak. She turned around and was about to go out to call someone, but was stopped by Zhu Yu's caller who came back. She must not let these maids go out and talk nonsense.
When the maids on both sides were entangled, Shengxia Cicada let go and stood up, and then said coldly:
"What are you arguing about? If you can't die, take your young lady back. If you dare to come to my place to make trouble again, next time I will burn down the Peony Garden!!!"
Sheng Xia Cicada's threat was very effective, and the four maids carried Sheng Xia Ming out of her boudoir with all their might.
Cornel then stepped forward and said:
"Miss, everything you asked me to do is done."
"That's good, you can rest. There will be a tough battle to fight later."
Juyu said worriedly:
"Miss, although you are relieved by making such a fuss, it is not good for your reputation."
"It doesn't matter, I'm going to be forced to death, why do I care about my reputation?"
After finishing speaking, he said to Qingping:
"You prepare water, I want to take a bath."
"Yes, miss."
Huang Ying came in with a bowl of ginger soup. She looked at the room full of people in surprise for a moment, then stepped forward and said:
"Miss, drink the ginger soup first. You just fell into the water, so don't catch the cold."
Midsummer Cicada nodded, took the ginger soup and drank it in one gulp, then went to take a bath and change clothes.
After Sheng Xia Chan had finished taking care of herself, the nun who was in charge of her grandmother came to send her a reply.
Midsummer Cicada gave herself a sickly make-up and didn't wear any jewelry. With the support of Cornelius and Qingping, she walked to Yongshou Hall step by step.
Marquis Yongxin's mother had already learned what happened from her servants. She called Marquis Yongxin and his wife to scold them and sent them away before letting Shengxia Chan come to see her.
Shengxia Chan knew that this grandmother didn't have much affection for her. After all, after her mother married into the Hou family, her grandmother had to hand over the housekeeping rights, so this grandmother was also dissatisfied with her mother, otherwise she wouldn't have died a year after her daughter-in-law passed away. Let his son remarry.
If the grandmother really loved her granddaughter, she would definitely not let her granddaughter who had just drowned in the lake walk to see her. She would have ordered someone to carry her over anyway. This was to give her a blow. But she did not care about this at all. She only Want to take away what belongs to you.
When Midsummer Cicada entered Fu'an Hall, she cried and said:
"Grandma, you have to make the decision for your granddaughter!"
Mrs. Hou frowned, but still said comfortingly:
"Chan'er, what are you doing? How could you do such a rash thing? You are trying to break my grandmother's heart!"
The corners of Shengxia Cicada's mouth trembled, then she threw herself into the arms of Mrs. Hou, crying and saying:
"Grandma, madam, she even wants to rob me of my marriage."
After hearing Sheng Xia Cicada's explanation of the cause and effect, Mrs. Hou sighed and said:
"Chan'er, your father had no choice but to do this. He did it for the good of the Hou family. Don't blame him."
Midsummer Cicada just came out of her grandmother's arms, then lowered her head and said nothing.
Mrs. Hou continued:
"Chan'er, grandma knows that you have been wronged. If you want any compensation, just ask for it and grandma will make the decision for you."
Shengxia Cicada knew that the time had come to negotiate terms, so she raised her head and said with tears in her eyes:
"Grandma, you are the only one who still thinks about Chan'er. With your support, Chan'er will be more confident."
She paused here and then continued:
"Grandma, the granddaughter knows that once the father has made a decision, he will not change it, let alone for the future of the Hou Mansion. The granddaughter will not hinder the Hou Mansion. However, since the granddaughter's marriage is exchanged for benefits, the granddaughter dares to propose Two conditions, I hope grandma will agree.”
Then Mrs. Hou said:
"you say."
"First, return all the dowry left to me by my granddaughter's mother. I have the dowry list here.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
Second, I would trouble my grandma to find a marriage for my granddaughter. I will not accept Sheng Xia Ming's mess, even if my granddaughter gets married far away. "
After hearing this, Mrs. Hou just thought for a moment and nodded:
"Grandma agreed to these two conditions of yours. Your mother's dowry was originally left to you, but it is only temporarily kept by Mrs. Zhao. I also have a list of dowry here, and you will not be missing anything by then.
As for the marriage, grandma needs to look into it carefully. You are a young lady from the Hou family, so you must choose a well-matched person no matter what. "
"Thank you grandma."
Midsummer Cicada immediately saluted. With Mrs. Hou, she would be able to be clean for a while.
"Okay, Chan'er, you go back and rest first. You can't ruin your body like this in the future."
"My child has taken note of it."
After a while, Midsummer Cicada returned to her yard.
Midsummer Cicada rested in her yard for two days, and then went to see Mrs. Hou with the dowry list.
After learning that her daughter was almost strangled to death, the Marquis wanted to settle accounts with Sheng Xiachan, but was stopped and scolded by the old Marquis:
"Zhao, even rabbits bite when they are anxious! I don't say anything but it doesn't mean I don't know what happened in the backyard. If you continue to make trouble, that girl will make you famous for forcing your stepdaughter to death. You can't bring trouble to the Yongxin Marquis' Mansion if you want to benefit your daughter."
The Marquis was shocked and could only swallow her anger and said:
"Yes, my daughter-in-law has made a note of it."
"Since you took over the Marquis' Mansion, you have also benefited from Xiachan's mother's dowry. You have gained a lot of benefits, now you should return the dowry to Xia Chan.
Don't have any bad thoughts, a woman's dowry is the capital for her to settle down. This is what Xia Chan's mother saved for her daughter. If you have the ability, save some for Xia Ming, don't think about other people's things. "
The old marquis's wife's words were almost saying that Marquis' wife Zhao was greedy, and Zhao blushed with embarrassment, but she couldn't refute it firmly, because she did have the intention of embezzling the former marquis's dowry. Over the years, she has also used these dowries to gain many benefits for herself and enriched her own pockets.
Now, as soon as the old Marquis’ wife opened her mouth, she was about to spit out the things. She was indeed a little unwilling, so she could only say weakly:
"Mother, the Marquis’s house has a lot of expenses, and the daughter-in-law has no choice. She has moved some things over the years."
"Hmph! Don't tell me these nonsense, just hand over the things obediently. If you don't want to, Xia Chan will sue the Marquis’s house for occupying her mother's dowry, and I will push you, the Marquis’ wife, out. Anyway, my son can still marry a new wife."
The Marquis’ wife was shocked, knowing that the old Marquis could do what he said, and immediately agreed and hurried back to her yard to count the things.
Midsummer Chan naturally knew that her mother's dowry was wasted by the Marquis’ wife, but she only checked according to the list, and converted all the missing things into silver. She would not let herself suffer a loss. (End of this chapter)
