Chapter 9

"Shut up!" Murong snow backhanded a palm, mercilessly threw to the autumn mother's face: "oneself did wrong, how dare frame up to the old lady, you live impatiently!"

A bright red five finger mountain appeared in half of mammy Qiu's side face, burning with pain. A haze flashed at the bottom of her eyes and gnashed her teeth: "Miss, the old slave didn't lie. It's really the old lady..."

"How dare you argue!" Murong Xue slapped mother Qiu to the ground and looked down at her. She was preparing to teach her a few words. A severe reprimand was heard first: "noisy, what's the matter?"

She just said a few words, and the people who supported her came. The hous' servants were quick enough to report the news. However, the maid and mammy in front of the west chamber were all the people around the old lady. The only mother Qiu who didn't wait in front of the old lady was still a creep. No wonder that person came so quickly.

Murong Xue curled up a sneer at the corner of her mouth, and casually turned around to look at it. It was the old lady, Du, who was holding the maid's hand and slowly came over. Her gray hair was tied up high and gently held by a green jade hairpin. The dark gray forehead embroidered with bamboo patterns was inlaid with a emerald stone, which was in harmony with the jade hairpin. It was dignified and strict.

She pressed her lips, glanced at mammy Qiu, whose cheeks were red and swollen, and frowned tightly: "what's going on?"

When mammy Qiu saw her, she was as if she had seen the backbone. Her eyes were shining. Her tears were like broken beads. She was kneeling on the ground, and her head was thumping: "old lady, help! The eldest lady is going to sell her old slave!"

Murong snow pick eyebrows, not salty way: "Qiu mammy without permission to open a warehouse, but also dirty water on the grandmother, I teach her is to eliminate the evil trend of Hou house, so that some servants will not rely on seniority, bully the young master, still domineering in the house."

"Is it?" The old lady's cold eyes swept mammy Qiu, whose forehead was red and swollen, and fell on Murong Xue's body: "but mammy Qiu didn't lie. I asked her to open the warehouse to take jewelry. You taught the wrong person."

In order to dote on her granddaughter, she ordered her servants to open the storehouse for her daughter-in-law. Her reputation was very bad. Du didn't try her best to get rid of her, but admitted it frankly. She really hated Murong Xue.

If the original owner is standing here, she will be severely criticized by Du, but she is the daughter-in-law of the 21st century, so she won't say: "which law in the state of Qingyan indicates that stepmother can use the dowry of her late daughter-in-law at will?"

Du Di's eyes flashed a trace of haze and coldly looked at Murong Xue: "your mother married into the Duke's house of Zhenguo, and she was the Houfu's person. Naturally, her dowry was the property of the Hou's house. I was in charge of the inner court of the Marquis, and had the right to use anything in the courtyard. There was no suitable jewelry in my warehouse. It was reasonable for Qingyan to come here to pick a few pieces."

"According to the law of the state of Qingyan, the dowry is given to the children after the death of my wife. The things in the storehouse are left by my mother to me and my brother, and have nothing to do with the rest of the Murong family. As long as my brother and I are still alive, you have no right to use them privately."

After her parents died, Du left murongxue in the Luoxue Pavilion, letting her live and die regardless of asking. When she met her occasionally, she was either critical or reprimanded. She did not regard her as a granddaughter. Naturally, she did not have to be a grandmother.

"Now, without my or my brother's consent, you have violated the law of the state of Qingyan by opening the storehouse privately and taking my mother's dowry."

"Is it?" Du's eyes squinted at Murong Xue and scoffed: "so, stepgranddaughter, are you going to take your step grandmother to court and send her to prison?"

"These jewels are still there. If they are not lost, the stepgrandmother doesn't have to go to court. Just beat up a hundred boards of this trickster and sell it." Mu Rongxue's understatement.

Du's face was gloomy. She was obviously mocking Murong Xue. Didn't Murong Xue recognize it? She was a slow witted fool who condemned mother Qiu according to her words.

"What are you doing? Don't you understand the old lady? Drag mammy Qiu down, hit a hundred boards again, sell! " Murong Xue snapped orders.

"Yes The two coarse envoys came forward, put a piece of coarse cloth into mammy Qiu's mouth, and dragged her to go out. The speed was too fast for people to react.

The sound of boards and the wail of mother Qiu's pain resounded outside the courtyard. The maids and mammy looked at each other and were silent: the eldest lady was losing her temper, and they didn't want to be affected.

The old lady's face was gloomy and terrible. She looked at Murong Xue, and her eyes were full of haze.

Murong snow turned a blind eye and looked at the sandalwood box which only contained exquisite jewelry: "cover the box and send it back to the warehouse."

"Yes, yes, yes!" The servant girls and mammy repeatedly promised to run to the storehouse with jewelry boxes in their hands. They were afraid that they would walk slowly. Murong Xue blamed them and let them end up as miserable as mammy Qiu.

Looking at the empty courtyard, song Qingyan looks pale, and her hands under her sleeves are tightly clenched: the sapphire hairpin and RUBY EARRINGS that she will get are all her favorite. It's hateful that there is no such thing!"It's not the first time that cousin Qingyan takes jewelry here."

Cold voice ring in the ear, song Qingyan body a stiff, alert look at Murong snow: "what do you mean?"

Murong Xue gently smiles: "cousin, don't panic. I don't want to teach my cousin a lesson. I just want to ask my cousin to return the jewelry that she took from here."

Song Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief and frightened her. Murong Xue didn't want to teach her a lesson. However, the jewelry she took was carefully selected. Every piece of jewelry was precious. She loved it very much and couldn't give it back to murongxue. Besides, she had worn the jewelry for so long that it should have been her: "you are my cousin. Those jewelry should be my gift Well, don't you think you're too mean to ask me for it? "

Murong Xue squinted at her and said casually: "my cousin comes to Hou's house at least three times a month, and each time she takes two or three hairpins, earrings, collars, jade bracelets, armor and other jewelry. In the past two years, my cousin has taken not a few pieces of jewelry, but hundreds of pieces, which can be filled with two or three boxes of full jewelry!"

Song Qingyan didn't think so: "so what? Your mother has a lot of dowries, and you don't lack these hundred pieces of jewelry. "

Murong Xue sneered, forced to take other people's jewelry, but also so justifiably justified, really shameless: "aunt married with ten miles of red makeup, certainly there is no lack of jewelry, as well, you will my mother's dowry back, and then send me two or three boxes of exquisite jewelry, let me also enjoy the aunt's big money."

"My mother's jewelry is mine. How can I give it to you?" Song Qingyan screamed in surprise. She realized that she had been cheated and was preparing to explain in detail. Murong Xue said, "my mother's jewelry is also left for me. How can you get it into your hands? I want to see those jewels before dark, or we'll see you in court! "
