Chapter 145： The perfect jade returns to Zhao

Chapter 145 Returning the complete jade to Zhao

The two of them each took a portion and were speechless for a while.

When Mrs. Jiao saw this, she quickly stood up from the ground and said loudly, "Mrs. Cui, our temple is small and cannot afford a big Buddha like yours. You should leave quickly!"

Mrs. Cui shook the He Li Shu in her hand, but smiled proudly.

"Don't worry, I will definitely leave, but I will take away the things that belong to me. For example, my dowry!"

Dingbei Hou's expression changed at that time, and suddenly he felt that he had fallen into a trap!

"What dowry?" Marquis Dingbei said coldly, "It has been nearly twenty years since you got married, and the dowry has been scattered long ago. Even if there is any left, it will be thrown in the north this time when the capital is moved."

"Master Hou is really good at joking. When I married you, Shili Hongzhuang brought most of the Cui family's wealth. Even the 20,000 taels of silver in the box were used by you to curry favor with your boss and show your face. But those antiques and jades, the farm shop It's always there." Mrs. Cui calmly poured herself another cup of tea.

Mr. Jiao thought of the locked rooms next to the study in the front yard and had some guesses.

Although the Marquis usually refused to let her take charge of it, it was always something belonging to the Marquis's house, so naturally he didn't want it to be taken away, so he helped her out.

"Sister, this is your fault. The Marquis reconciled with you to save your face, but you still care about the dowry from how many years ago? After all these years, you, the mistress, have married in the Marquis' mansion. To contribute, you should contribute something and money, right?”

"It's really ridiculous. I have never heard of a man taking a concubine or marrying a concubine or a concubine, and the wife still needs to pay for it? Why don't you go out and find someone to comment on, and let everyone listen to how Dingbei Hou took advantage of it? Fan, how did you survive for so many years relying on your wife’s dowry? In the end, you abandoned your wife. This is the most ungrateful white-eyed wolf in Tianwu!”

Mrs. Cui was not merciful, and she also made peace with others. She just cursed her heartily.

At this time, Mr. Liu took out an old book.

"Back then, before Master Cui got married, he specially invited the three of us to his home. We inspected the dowry with our own eyes and signed the dowry list just to prepare for this day. I originally thought it was unnecessary, but unexpectedly, A bachelor is the best at understanding people."

He put the booklet on the table and sneered, "Just like Jinrou said, the dowry and silver can be spent, but the gold, silver, jade, and farm shop must be returned!"

Mrs. Cui added, "Most of the gold, silver and jade in my dowry were brought to the Cui family by my mother, and they are all marked. Mr. Hou, don't even think about hiding them, otherwise I can sue him if I see one outside in the future. I am guilty of theft. There are also those shops and farms here in Weizhou. The profits over the years have been given to the Hou Mansion. I didn't ask for these, but only fifty or sixty thousand. ”

 Dingbei Hou clenched his fist so hard that it could wipe two ounces of frost off his face. He stared at the dowry list, without any possibility of quibbles.

He also knew that the Cui family’s dowry was precious. For so many years, even if he needed to give a gift, he would try to buy it outside and rarely use it. He didn’t expect that now it would be returned to Zhao intact!

This is simply asking him to vomit out the fat he has eaten!

 But it’s not possible without vomiting. There have been rumors in the court in the past few days that the emperor is going to use Mr. Liu, a veteran official, and if he doesn’t release the dowry today, he will become an enemy of the Liu family in the future.

“Okay, I’ll pay you back the dowry, but from now on we will never see each other again.”

Mrs. Cui didn't even give him a spare glance, she just looked at Liu Zhiheng.

Liu Zhiheng immediately took the dowry list and said with a smile, "Please, Mr. Marquis, finish counting it early and we will leave early."

Dingbei Hou strode out. Mrs. Cui was worried and followed him.

For so many years, her dowry has been locked in the warehouse of the Marquis Mansion. She was already prepared that the silk, silk, gold and silver would definitely be gone.

But I didn’t expect that her jewelry, gold, silver, jade, ancient books and woodware were all there.

Not even a single bit was lost or damaged due to the sudden move south!

She really didn't know whether to cry or to be happy. She was happy that she could get back most of the dowry, but she was heartbroken that her husband would rather take these dead things with him than take her with him.

But Mr. Jiao, who was chasing after her, was extremely distressed. So many good things were actually being given away! Not only that, Liu Zhiheng was still questioning Dingbei Hou.

"Master Marquis, there is a pair of emerald Ruyi missing from the list. Has Master Marquis put it in the study? Take it out quickly. This pair of Ruyi was chosen by my mother from Jinrou's dowry when she got married. , it’s still marked. If Mr. Hou sells it, please let me know and I’ll redeem it.”

Dingbeihou's face turned red, and he held back his anger and ordered Jiao, "Take the jadeite pair in the betrothal gift as you wish and return it to them!"

Jiao didn't expect that he could be turned over to her, so she immediately shouted, "Master Marquis, those Ruyi children are my betrothal gift, you can't take them out!"

Liu Zhiheng laughed and mocked, "Oh, it's not easy for Mr. Hou. He took the dowry from his first wife, stopped his wife and then married a new wife. If this spreads out, it will be very lively."

The Marquis of Dingbei was so angry that he shouted, "Go and get it back quickly, I will find better supplies for you in the future!"

Jiao didn't dare to disobey, so she could only bear the pain and take the jade Ruyi.

Liu Zhiheng closed the dowry book with satisfaction, bumped the box containing the deed of the farm and shop in his hand, and said with a smile.

"Master Hou, the production of Jinrou's farm shop for so many years has been given to the Hou Mansion. The Hou Mansion isn't too stingy now, right? You can bring back the manpower, but don't take anything with you from the shop or the food from the farm. Let’s go. After all, it caused too much noise, and the outsiders kept guessing, and the Marquis’ face didn’t look good.”

After saying that, he didn't understand what Beihou said, so he ordered the men he brought to start moving things out.

One cart after another, pulling more than 20 carts!

Mr. Liu and others also waited until the last car left the gate of the Hou Mansion before standing up to say goodbye.

Both Dingbeihou and Jiao's faces looked as if they had eaten shit, which was very ugly.

Seeing Mrs. Cui walking away gracefully, taking with her a large amount of belongings and her favorite jade Ruyi, Mrs. Jiao was really angry, so she shouted loudly.

"Sister Cui, you are no longer a member of the Hou Mansion. From now on, live an honest life and don't go out and show off in the name of the Hou Mansion. After all, your innocence has been lost and you are already a waste. You are shameless, we still want it. !”

Mrs. Cui originally didn't want to argue with her. Men are unreliable, but if you have money, your life will not be bad in the future.

Unexpectedly, Ms. Jiao was unwilling to give up. Naturally, she couldn't bear this tone before leaving.

So, she turned her head and looked Jiao up and down, and asked with a smile.

"My mother only gave birth to me, so where did you come from as a younger sister? Our Cui family comes from a scholarly family, and my father is a great scholar of the current dynasty. Even if he devotes 100% of his time to educating his daughter, he still can't teach her enough. Idiots like you! Stop having random relationships in the future, lest others think you dislike the Jiao family and want to find a new father for you!"

“You’re talking nonsense!” Mrs. Jiao was furious and wanted to yell back, but Mrs. Jiao didn’t give her this chance.

As soon as she designated Beihou, she smiled and said, "Oh, I forgot, you have found a father for yourself! When you are walking around, you'd better stay far away, otherwise, if you don't know, you will think that it is your father who takes care of you." My daughter is out!"

At this time, even Dingbeihou was so angry that he vomited blood, "You are so presumptuous!"
