After being married off, she was favored by the powerful official

When Su married into the Yongchang Marquis's Mansion, her dowry was as grand as ten miles. If it were not for the fact that the dowry could not exceed the regulations, it would have been even more.

When marrying off their daughters, some families in Beijing would give a dowry of a hundred loads in order to look good, but sometimes each load only contained a quilt.

But what was in Su's box was real gold, silver, silk and jewelry. It could be said that Su could not squander all these things in her lifetime. The Su family even prepared a rosewood coffin for Su, which meant that although the daughter of our Su family married into a wealthy family, we will not occupy a single penny of your Yongchang Marquis Mansion.

Su grew up in a wealthy family and had no concept of money. When she was a child, she even played with glass beads to play with birds. So every time the Su family sent her something, she would pick out the ones she liked and throw the rest into the storage without paying any attention to them.

Everyone in the mansion was used to going to the big warehouse to get things, and Xie Qing was also used to it, but he didn't expect to be rejected this time.

Madam Xu sneered, "It seems that some people can no longer pretend. For so many years, she has been pretending to be kind and generous, but now that Xie Ran's wings have grown stronger, her true colors are revealed."

Xie Qing frowned. He didn't want Su's things in the first place, but he didn't expect that his aunt would witness this embarrassing scene. Naturally, he felt more resentful towards Su.

"I don't even bother to touch the things of merchants. Aunt and cousin go back first. I happen to have some fabric suitable for cousin in my private warehouse. I will send it to you later."

Mrs. Xu didn't want to do such a thing as begging for food, but the Qixi Palace Banquet was of great significance to the Xu family. She could lose face but her daughter couldn't.

"Qing'er, you are a good child. When Shuyu gets married in the future, I will need your care."

Xie Qing understood what Mrs. Xu meant. He and the Xu family were one, and it would be a help to him if Xu Shuyu could marry into a wealthy family.

"Don't worry, aunt. Qing'er understands."

After seeing off Madam Xu, Xie Qing returned to Qingliu Courtyard and personally selected some silk, satin, and jewelry from the storeroom. When Gu Rou returned to the courtyard, she frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"

"In reply to the young madam, the eldest master asked us to deliver these things to the Xu Mansion." The servant did not think too much and answered truthfully.

"what!"

Gu Rou's face changed, and she swung her sleeves and strode to look for Xie Qing.

Xie Qing was leisurely drinking tea in the house. Gu Rou glared at him angrily, "Xie Qing, why do you give my things away?"

"Your things?" Xie Qing's tone was slightly raised, with an indescribable indifference, "These things all belong to the Marquis' Mansion. Which one is yours? Your dowry is all neatly piled there, and I haven't touched a cent."

Gu Rou felt that Xie Qing was being unreasonable, "I am the mistress of this courtyard, how come those things are not mine?

Besides, even if you want to give it to someone, couldn't you let me know in advance?"

Xie Qing put down the teacup heavily, the light in his eyes became colder, "You still know your identity!

Shuyu is going to attend the Qixi Palace Banquet but she doesn't even have a decent dress. You are busy all day trying to plot against Gu Jin, and I have to worry about such a small matter. I really don't know what's the point of marrying you!"

Gu Rou was so angry that she was shaking all over, and blurted out: "If I had known this would happen, I would not have married you!

Look, Xie Ran gave Gu Jin an entire Jinyu Pavilion, and what she usually wears is Fuguang Brocade, which is a top-quality fabric.

You are not like me, you are giving away your wife's things. No wonder Gu Jin doesn't even look at you now. If I were you, I would just be glad that I didn't marry you!"

With a "slap", Xie Qing angrily slapped Gu Rou, "If you think Xie Ran is good, go find him. If he is willing to exchange you for Gu Jin, I would love it!"

Xie Qing walked away in anger, and Gu Rou was so angry that she smashed all the porcelain in the room.

She covered her burning cheeks with her hands and her eyes were grim and terrifying. She thought that all the grievances and pain from this slap should be borne by Gu Jin. It was Gu Jin who took away her wealth and glory.

She is not willing to accept this, she will never accept this!

……

The other masters in the Marquis' Mansion soon discovered the problem.

When Mrs. Bai, the third wife of Xie San, ordered the kitchen to cook bird's nests, she was told that this month's allotment had been used up. She was stunned for a moment, and felt that the word "allotment" sounded very unfamiliar.

After asking around, she found out that Su had moved all the supplements in the warehouse back to her own yard. Her share of bird's nests had been eaten up, so she had to either wait for next month's share or pay for it out of her own pocket.

How could Bai bear this? She immediately ran to Songhe Hall to complain to Huo, but she didn't expect that someone had gotten there before her.

"Grandma, what does Great Aunt mean by this? Why did she seal the storehouse and not allow us to take anything?"

Xie Miaorong originally wanted to find a suitable piece of cloth to make a new dress today, but she was rejected just like Xie Qing.

In the past, when she wanted to use something, she would just ask the manager to record it in the account. She had never encountered such a situation before.

Bai also said, "Yes, mother, I haven't been feeling well lately so I wanted to ask the kitchen to make some bird's nests, but I didn't expect that all the supplements were taken away by my sister-in-law.

Even if she had some conflicts with her second sister-in-law, she shouldn't have involved others."

It was only right that Ma should be retaliated against for framing Su, but she had no involvement in it and could only watch from the sidelines.

Xie Miaorong glared at Bai. They were now talking about Su's affairs, why did she have to involve her mother with this?

"Grandmother, my aunt is clearly targeting me on purpose. I will be attending the Qixi Palace Banquet soon. If I don't have new clothes to wear, people will laugh at our mansion."

Bai followed up and said, "Yes, mother. If the elder sister-in-law can reject me and Miaorong today, she will stop paying tribute to you tomorrow. You should warn her as soon as possible."

The two of them complained bitterly about all the faults of Su, but Huo just lowered her eyes and twirled the Buddhist beads in her hand. She slowly opened her eyes after they had vented their dissatisfaction.

"Su did make a mistake."

The two of them were delighted and just waited for Huo to call Su over and give her a good scolding.

Mrs. Huo looked at them coldly and said faintly, "She was wrong in that she shouldn't have indulged you for so many years."

"Grandma..." Xie Miaorong's smile faded and she looked at Mrs. Huo in disbelief.

"It's true that a pinch of rice brings gratitude, but a pinch of rice brings hatred.

Those things originally belonged to the Su family. After you enjoyed them for so many years, do you think they are the Su family's right?

Now she is just taking back her things, why did she make you so angry? "

Bai pursed her lips and whispered, "Mother, my sister-in-law has already married into the Marquis's Mansion. A daughter-in-law and her husband's family share honor and disgrace. There is no need to distinguish them so clearly..."

Mrs. Huo squinted at her and said indifferently, "Then why haven't I seen you put your mother's things in the palace in these years?"

Bai's face turned red, she clutched her handkerchief and stopped talking, but she was still not convinced in her heart.

The Bai family had long been in decline, otherwise why would she marry a bastard? If she were as rich as Su, she wouldn't be so petty.

"Over the years, I have always told you to treat the Su family well, but which of you listened to me?

It is true that the Su family is a business family, but they have never taken advantage of the Marquis' Mansion. On the contrary, who in the mansion has not enjoyed the favor of the Su family?

You are eating and cursing at the Su family, only the Su family is kind enough not to bother with you, if it were me I would have made you spit out everything you ate!"

Mrs. Huo's words were merciless and made Mrs. Bai and Xie Miaorong feel ashamed.

Mrs. Huo originally turned a blind eye to the affairs in the mansion, but recently there were always people making trouble in the mansion and she had to step out and deal with them.

"Any mansion in the capital that wants to maintain some dignity will not touch a woman's dowry or gifts from her parents. From now on, each family should live their own life and stop staring at what's in other people's bowls.

If they are willing to give, it is because they are kind. If they don’t want to give, there is no reason to ask for it. They are all decent people. Go back and think about it! "

The two failed to sue the Su family and instead made themselves embarrassed.

Xie Miaorong was almost angry to death. If her mother was still at home, she would never let her suffer this injustice.

Seeing Xie Miaorong's livid face, Mrs. Bai turned her eyes and stepped forward, sighing, "After all, this family is still managed by your mother. Look how soon the Su family has been in charge and it has become such a mess."

"What's the point of saying this? Can you still ask grandma to take back her decision?"

Xie Miaorong is the eldest daughter in the family. She has always been proud and arrogant and does not take her aunt Bai seriously at all.

Bai secretly cursed Xie Miaorong for not distinguishing good from bad, but for the sake of long-term interests, she still spoke up: “Although Su is in charge now, the people in the mansion are all the confidants of the second sister-in-law.

Now Miaorong, you are old enough to get married, it is time for you to learn how to manage the household."

Xie Miaorong narrowed her eyes thoughtfully.

Bai stopped there and left leisurely after saying this.

Bai had never participated in the fights between the first and second wives before, but now that the fire had burned on her, she naturally could not remain indifferent.

Since Su Shi made her unhappy, she naturally couldn't let Su Shi have an easy time!
