The inner voice was overheard, and the whole court was eating melons together

Ying Mingkang didn't believe such nonsense.

A man who monopolizes his deceased wife's dowry is not afraid of being laughed at if the news gets out.

Only Ying Xuejie could do such a shameful thing.

Ying Mingkang knelt down and said:

"Father, my sister and I have grown up and can manage the farm and shop by ourselves. We don't need you to worry about helping us manage our mother's dowry.

Please also ask father to return mother's dowry to my brother and me."

When Ying Mingkang knelt down, Ying Xuejie felt his eyelids twitching. It turned out that something bad was going to happen.

Several countries on this continent have explicit regulations that a wife's dowry is under the control of the wife herself and the husband is not allowed to interfere; after the wife's death, all her dowry will belong to her biological children. If she has no children, the dowry will be returned to her parents' home, and the husband has no right to deal with his wife's dowry.

A man with some family background and blood will never use his wife's dowry, lest it get out and be laughed at.

However, Ying Xuejie was a greedy and lustful man. He thought that as long as he kept his original wife's two children firmly under his control, he could put his deceased wife's dowry into his own pocket.

He never thought that his legitimate son would become so powerful that he would do such a thing in front of the nobleman today.

It seems that these dowries must be returned today.

Song Yaoyao saw that Ying Xuejie didn't speak for a long time, and said:

"As far as I know, the four countries have a clear rule that the dowry of a deceased wife belongs to the children. What does it mean that Master Ying took the dowry of his deceased wife? Is he openly defying the laws of the court?"

Ying Xuejie's face suddenly changed after hearing this, but he quickly explained:

"My Lords, you have misunderstood. The children were still young before, and I was only keeping them for them temporarily."

Song Yaoyao nodded:

"I see.

Now that Miss Ying and Mr. Ying have grown up, Mr. Ying should return their mother's dowry.

If anything is lost, it can be converted into silver and given to them.

By the way, Mr. Ying will also return the profits he made from the dowry that he has kept for so many years to them."

Song Yaoyao's words blocked all of Ying Xuejie's paths. In this way, he would gain nothing.

Ying Xuejie looked unhappy, but still replied:

"Don't worry, my lords. This is a matter of course."

Song Yaoyao nodded: "Then let's count now."

Song Yaoyao felt that now that they were here, even though Ying Xuejie had agreed, if he dragged his feet once they left, the return of the dowry would become a blank check.

Besides, after what happened today, Ying Huiyan and her brother have completely fallen out with Ying Xuejie. If they lose these dowries, their future life will probably be even more difficult.

After hearing what Song Yaoyao said, Ying Xuejie looked unhappy, but he still agreed.

A few hours later, Ying Mingkang and Ying Huiyan had received their mother's dowry.

The matter was resolved, and Song Yaoyao and the others left.

Song Yaoyao originally thought that the matter ended here.

But what was unexpected was that the next day, Ying Huiyan came to the door carrying a bundle.

When Song Yaoyao saw Ying Huiyan, she looked at her carrying a huge bag and asked:

"What happened? Were you kicked out? Where's your brother Ying Mingkang? How did he protect you?"

Song Yaoyao's questions confused Ying Huiyan.

Ying Huiyan reacted and quickly explained:

“Miss, you misunderstood, I was not kicked out.

I came out on my own, and I want to stay with you, young lady, and serve you."

Song Yaoyao looked at Ying Huiyan and said:

"You are a good daughter, but you insist on serving others. What are you thinking?"

Ying Huiyan lowered her head and said:

"Miss, I have no way to repay your kindness, I just want to..."

Song Yaoyao interrupted her and said:

"I don't lack maids here, so you should go back and be a good daughter of a rich family."

Ying Huiyan raised her head and looked at Song Yaoyao with tears in her eyes:

"Miss, do you despise me? Don't I even have the qualifications to be a maid by your side?..."

Song Yaoyao: “…”

What the hell is going on? Song Yaoyao definitely didn't mean what she said.

Song Yaoyao looked at the crying person and said:

"Think about it carefully. If you stay with me, there will be no room for regret."

Ying Huiyan wiped away her tears, burst into laughter, made a swearing gesture, and said:

"I, Ying Huiyan, am willing to stay by the young lady's side and take care of her for the rest of my life. I will never betray her! If I betray you, I will be struck by lightning!"

Ying Huiyan wanted to swear again, but Song Yaoyao interrupted her and said:

“Okay, I get it.

By the way, does your brother know that you are here? "

"know."

"Your brother agreed to let you be a maid?"

"Ah."

Why are these brother and sister so pessimistic?

Seeing that Song Yaoyao didn't say anything, Ying Huiyan opened her bag, took out a stack of banknotes, and said:

"Miss, don't worry, I have money, I don't need you to support me, I can support myself."

Song Yaoyao: “…”

Is that what she meant?

Song Yaoyao sighed and said:

"Do you know that wealth should not be shown to others? Put it away immediately!"

"Yes.

Miss, I only do this in front of you. I won’t tell others that I have money.”

"Thank you for your trust!

By the way, I will call you Huiyan from now on."

"it is good."

Song Yaoyao asked someone to take Ying Huiyan away.

Song Yaoyao touched her face and said:

[I enjoyed helping others, but I didn't expect that I would get myself a subordinate.

Hey!

My damn charm is so attractive!

I am still the most beautiful and attractive one! 】

Guagua looked speechlessly at the host who had become narcissistic again and said:

[Host, please calm down!]

By the way, we have been in Yucheng for a long time, should we go back? 】

Song Yaoyao: [Yes, it’s time to go back.

But before going back, I have to meet Ji Chengyuan again.

I saw him the day I brought Lin Xixi and Ji Zhengming back, and I haven't seen him since.

Lin Xiqian and Ji Zhengming have met each other several times. 】

Gua Gua could guess why Song Yaoyao wanted to see Ji Chengyuan.

The next day, Song Yaoyao heard from the servants that Ji Chengyuan had returned home, so Song Yaoyao went to Ji Chengyuan's yard.

When Ji Chengyuan saw Song Yaoyao, he was not surprised at all and said:

"Master Xiao Song is here?"

Lin Xixi had been in the General's Mansion for so long before she knew about the agreement between Song Yaoyao and her husband, and also knew about Song Yaoyao's identity...

They had been on the run for so long, and Lin Xiqian had always thought that Song Yaoyao was Ji Chengyuan's subordinate, but it turned out that she wasn't...

Song Yaoyao looked at Ji Chengyuan and said:

"Does Prince Ji know that I will come?"
