Su Yunling was completely oblivious to the extremely ugly expressions of Su Zhaohong and his mother, Liu and others, and took the initiative to take Xu Zhang to Liu's yard.

Su Yueying, who had been left out, looked at the Taoist priest who had no say at all, and her teeth were almost broken.

Isn't the point to exorcise Su Yunling? Why did the focus shift to somewhere else?

In the inner courtyard, all the maids were busy cleaning up the red stamps that Su Yunling had left everywhere. It was so miserable!

Su Yunling had no guilt at all. Which of these people didn't flatter the powerful and bully the weak? They deserved it!

As the group of people were walking, Xu Zhang realized something was wrong, because the so-called Liu's courtyard was actually the main courtyard where Xu Wanhua once lived.

The difference is that the courtyard was originally planted with the green bamboo that Xu Wanhua loved most during her lifetime, but now it is planted with various colors of crabapples.

Xu Zhang immediately asked angrily: "Su Zhaohong, your concubine, lives in the main courtyard? And where are the green bamboos that my Huaer planted with his own hands?"

Su Zhaohong didn't know how to explain, so she heard Su Yunling say, "Madam, please don't blame me. I ordered people to cut down those bamboos because I was afraid that my father would miss him when he saw them. I asked me to move into the main courtyard because I didn't want such a large courtyard to be idle. I am used to being frugal and considerate. When we lived outside the mansion before, I rented a courtyard to live in so that it would be convenient for me to follow my father. She could serve my father wherever he went."

"shut up!"

Su Zhaohong and Liu shouted in unison, shocking Su Yunling.

Su Yunling felt a little aggrieved: "Father, little sister, I'm explaining to the old lady on your behalf! Why are you still angry?"

"You..." Su Zhaohong couldn't help but raise his hand to slap.

Su Yunling knelt down as if by reflex.

"Father, don't hit me! I know I was wrong. I will go to the ancestral hall and kneel down as a punishment. I will not eat for three days like before."

All of this was seen by Xu Zhang. "Good boy, get up quickly. Doesn't your father often beat you and not give you food?"

Su Yunling's timid eyes were full of fear. She stammered, "Not often... I'll go hungry for nine meals in three days at most, and get 30 slaps in a month at most, and suffer some physical pain... But my mom said that this is to make me tougher, and it's all for my own good."

As she spoke, she laughed happily again, as if she really believed what Liu said.

Xu Zhang was so angry that she was shaking. This was obviously the daughter of that prostitute, but she still felt distressed.

She glared at Su Zhaohong and Liu, who were as pale as paper, and said sarcastically, "You are really great. Since you gave birth to a child, you should have treated her well. You actually abused her. I wonder if you thought she was not your biological child..."

Su Zhaohong's figure swayed, sweat dripping down his forehead, "This girl has no rules, is naughty and vulgar, so..."

Xu Zhang had no intention of listening to his nonsense and pulled Su Yunling to continue walking into the yard. Su Yunling took her straight to Liu's bedroom.

As she walked she said, "My little mother would never embezzle the mistress's dowry. If she were that kind of person, my father would never keep her in the mansion." After saying that, she pointed to the boxes stacked on one side of the bedroom.

Xu Zhang ordered people to bring down the boxes one by one and then open them.

Liu tugged at Su Zhaohong's sleeve, still making her last struggle in secret.

Because no one knew better than them what was in her boxes.

Almost all of it was Xu Wanhua’s dowry!

But now that things have come to this, Su Zhaohong has no idea what to do.

Seeing that the box was about to be opened and Su Zhaohong remained indifferent, Liu held her forehead and cried out that she was dizzy, then pretended to faint.

I thought that this would stop them from opening the box, and I could take the opportunity to move as long as I delayed them for a while, but Su Yunling suddenly rushed over and pinched her philtrum, and shouted nervously:

"Girl, you can't faint! Your innocence will be proven soon..."

Liu was in so much pain that tears came to her eyes, but she didn't faint. She watched the box being opened in front of her eyes.

The first box was filled with furs. The one on top was the one given to Xu Wanhua by the eldest son of the Xu family, and the rest were mostly purchased by Xu Wanhua when she was alive.

As the boxes were opened one by one, Xu Zhang's face turned darker than the bottom of a pot.

When Xu Wanhua married Su Zhaohong, Su Zhaohong was still a small deputy director of the Warehouse Department of the Ministry of Revenue. In order to make their daughter's life easier, the Xu family gave her enough dowry.

Most of them were purchased by Xu Zhang herself, so she still remembers some of them.

But now these things actually appeared in the room of a lowly concubine, making her feel more disgusted than eating a fly.

I felt a lump in my stomach and couldn't swallow it.

"He is such a good son-in-law of my Xu family! He actually gave my daughter's dowry to this filthy whore who is not worthy of being shown in public to defile her! You..." Xu Zhang was so angry that she felt dizzy.

"Old lady..." Su Yunling hurriedly helped her sit down.

When Su Zhaohong remained silent, the old lady of the Su family finally rushed over. Before she saw him, she heard his voice first: "According to the laws of our Great Yin, if a wife dies but has children, all assets and slaves will be merged into the husband's family, and the wife's family cannot pursue them. So my son can give these things to whoever he wants. Your Xu family is too involved."

Although the old lady of the Su family did not like Liu, who had sung in a brothel, Liu was respectful to her mother-in-law and knew how to please her and be humble.

She is much more likable than Xu Wanhua, who always acts like a lady from a noble family. In addition, Xu Wanhua always controls her son and looks down on the Su family, so in comparison, the old lady likes Liu more.

The old lady of the Su family completely angered Xu Zhang when she said this. "Since your Su family is clearly going to bully us, then we can't let it go. You are telling me about the law, right? I hope the law can save your son's face!"

Xu Zhang took out her daughter's three favorite headgear and the fur coat from the box and came to Su Zhaohong.

"Master Su, you just heard it. These things are what my daughter specifically requested. If you are not afraid that my daughter will turn into a ghost and come after you to take your life, then leave them behind!"

Su Zhaohong was already feeling guilty, and after hearing Xu Zhang's harsh words, he became even more flustered. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Mother-in-law, I am sorry for embarrassing you. You can take me away."

"Why? These things belong to my Su family..." The old lady of the Su family yelled in dissatisfaction.

"Mother!" This was the first time Su Zhaohong got angry at her mother.

"Hmph!" Xu Zhang walked away with the things.

The Xu and Su families had maintained a superficial relationship through their children, but this time they had completely fallen out.

When Xu Zhang walked to the door, she suddenly thought of something. She turned around and took a deep look at Su Yunling, and said softly, "If you are wronged in this mansion in the future, come to the Xu Mansion to find me..."

"Don't worry about me, old lady. I'll be fine." Su Yunling stepped forward to comfort her, but scratched his neck from time to time.

"What's wrong with you?" Seeing her like this, Xu Zhang frowned worriedly.

"It's okay. I just can't touch the crabapple flowers. Otherwise, it will induce itching."

"Bala--" the headpiece in Xu Zhang's hand fell to the ground, her eyes full of shock.

Her daughter Wanhua was also not allowed to touch the crabapple flowers.

This is definitely not a coincidence...
