Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 220 Seeking Justice for the Second Girl

The son of the Zhao family is named Zhao Ying, and his mother-in-law is named Li.

 The mother and son, together with the matchmaker Mrs. Wang, waited in the Xiyuan meeting hall until the flowers withered. Finally, they saw someone coming from the palace, and several people stood up in unison.

Xu Wanning walked into the room first. She was wearing a rich mink velvet shawl with a bright red Sichuan brocade skirt underneath. She wore a purple gold phoenix hairpin on her head, with shining pearls on her temples. She looked graceful and wealthy all over.

Jing Shu followed him into the house. She was wearing a red scarlet cloak embroidered with sapphire blue gold silk and a large colorful jade hairpin on her head. Her figure was upright. Although she was young, she looked dignified and dignified. The mistress's demeanor is so stable that people don't dare to make mistakes easily when they see her.

Xu Wanning walked past the Zhao mother and son, glanced at them sideways, and let out a contemptuous snort from her nostrils.

Jingshu, on the other hand, walked into the room with calm steps and didn't look away. She sat down directly on the main seat without even looking at Zhao's mother and son. Her face was calm, making it difficult to guess her emotions, but her majestic aura was even more shocking.

Xu Wanning asked first: "My uncle has given us troubles time and time again. Why is this?"

Don't wait for Zhao Ying to answer, Wang's face and grabbing the Thunderbolt said: "What does the wife say this? How can our family embarrass your girl?"

"Hmph! Ever since you married into our family, you, my aunt, have been unable to serve your aunt and have no children. You are so unkind and unkind. In the final analysis, it is our husband who has been wronged."

Xu Wanning scolded her coldly: "Why is our girl not filial to her parents-in-law? You are just lying. She gave birth to two daughters for your Zhao family less than five years after she entered the house. How come she can't have children?"

Wang replied: "I can't tell you the details of the unfilial laws, but she has never given birth to a son for my Zhao family, so she has committed the 'seven outings'."

Xu Wanning said coldly: "You are really trying to inflict a crime. Our girl is only in her early twenties. How do you know that she will not be able to give birth to a boy for your family in the future?"

Wang said nonsense: "The fortune tellers have said that your aunt is guilty of the 'Nine Women's Fate' and has to give birth to nine girls in a row. If she can afford it, my Zhao family can't wait."

Seeing Wang's unreasonableness, Xu Wanning stood up angrily, pointed at her nose and cursed: "You are also an official wife after all. It is unreasonable to speak to our government with such ridiculous words." Here."

Jingshu could tell from just a few words of this Wang that she was a fool, and she pressed down on Xu Wanning who was so angry that she was about to jump.

He only asked Zhao Ying, who was sitting silently aside: "Uncle, what are your plans here? Everyone is here today. Let's make it clear."

This was the first time for Zhao Ying to meet the mistress of the palace. Facing such a fairy-like figure, he was so shaken that he did not dare to raise his head. He hesitated and said: "Husbands and wives still need to be in love to live together. My husband and I The second young lady has had a bad temper ever since she got married, so instead of being disgusted with each other, it would be better to break up as early as possible."

Xu Wanning was about to curse in anger again. Jingshu held her down and said only one word to Zhao Ying: "Okay."

Seeing that the mistress was so happy, the mother and son of the Zhao family agreed, and they were overjoyed. A smile appeared on the originally gloomy face of Mother Zhao and Wang: "Since the mistress has said something about this, But it’s just a matter of course, and I don’t want to go back on my word.”

Jingshu smiled disdainfully: "In terms of family status, the Duke's Mansion in our town is much more expensive than the Gaogui Mansion. Our girls are meant to be married off, so our girls are aggrieved by this marriage."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang's face drooped again, and Zhao Ying's face also became ugly.

Jing Shu glanced at the mother and son, and then said: "Since we want to reconcile, let's not delay. We have to notarize the dowry that our girl brought over and bring it back accurately." As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Zhao and her son couldn't sit still. Ms. Wang replied nonchalantly: "Since your aunt married into our family, she has always had the best food and food, and the two little girls she gave birth to." The films have all been selected and donated, so how can these accounts be settled after all these years?"

After hearing Wang's extremely shameless words, Xu Wanning cursed angrily: "I couldn't find such a shameless family like you even if I held a lantern. The two children born to our girl are the flesh and blood of your Zhao family. How can you still... I have the nerve to put the child’s food and clothing expenses on our girl’s head.”

Jingshu was completely impressed by Wang's shamelessness after hearing her remarks. However, the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, so such a shameless person cannot afford to compete with her, and even if they compete, it is incomprehensible.

Jingshu calmly replied: "You figure out the amount of food and clothing our girl will need, and we will break it into silver and give it to you. However, the farms, shops, and jewelry included in the dowry must be brought back as they are."

Jing Shu glanced at Zhao Ying: "This is not a small sum, and it can't be settled by just our two families and a matchmaker sitting here. We have to report it to the governor and find a way to find a way to calculate it carefully." The reckoning of the pen is clear.”

"There are also the expenses of those two children over the years. If the Zhao family wants to keep them in our family, the two children after the divorce will have to be raised by my Li family. We also have to write the paperwork. From now on, these two children will be raised by my family." This child has nothing to do with your family."

　　After hearing what Jing Shu said, Mrs. Wang was so depressed that she could no longer speak, and looked at her son aside with a dull look.

More than half of the second girl's dowry was swallowed up by the Zhao family. Zhao Ying planned his official career and spent a lot of money on food and drinks. Even the gifts for his concubines came from the second girl's dowry.

 Fat meat has been eaten into the stomach, how can it be vomited out?

Zhao Ying replied nonchalantly: "We are not afraid if the government is alerted. It's just that your Li family has a prominent family, so it's not impossible for you to bribe the governor, or the governor is afraid of the government's power and does something unfair." .”

Jingshu heard Zhao Ying's lack of confidence and sneered: "As the Second Young Master Zhao said, this is indeed possible."

She glanced at Zhao Ying: "Even if the government prefers to help my Li family, what can your Zhao family do?"

 Wang was choked up by one sentence and almost lost her breath. Zhao Ying was also so angry that she stared blankly.

Xu Wanning laughed loudly and said: "You dare to come to the gate of this town and be so rampant, aren't you just seeing that my Li family has been in trouble recently? But even a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, so People like you dare to add insult to injury and don't show any respect for your own virtues, you deserve it!"

Seeing that Xu Wanning was relieved, Jing Shu said: "I will order someone to go to your mansion to check the dowry of my girl. If there is anything missing, you are required to make it up within three days. If there is even a penny difference, then Let’s meet with the officials.”

Jingshu glanced at Zhao Ying who was wilting down, and then said: "I also heard that the Second Young Master Zhao is bringing in a concubine this spring?"

Zhao Ying lowered his head and remained silent.

Jing Shu didn't care whether he responded or not, she just said: "We have no control over which girl you, our girl and your successor marry, but if you promote that concubine to occupy our girl's original position, our Li family will The reason I am suing you is that you divorced my girl because you spoiled your concubine and destroyed your wife."

Da Qi attaches great importance to the distinction between superiority and inferiority. If this big hat is placed on his head, Zhao Ying's official career will be completely ruined.

 When he heard this, his face suddenly turned pale.
