Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1320

"You can't lower yourself to become an embroiderer?" Tang Chujun said softly, "Do you know how it feels for a woman to earn money with her own ability and then support herself? I tell you, it's just two words: tough."

Shi Wanzhen raised her eyes and asked, "Have you ever made money?"

"Of course." Tang Chujun did not tell the other party that he was Mr. Chu Sheng and that he made money by writing articles.

Although the money was far less than what she earned from her property, she was happy.

She shared with Shi Wanzhen sincerely, "When I first earned money through my own efforts, I bought a lot of things for my son and daughter-in-law, and my daughter and son-in-law. I was so happy at that time. That kind of happiness, oh, I can't describe it in words."

Shi Wanzhen could not feel that kind of happiness, but she saw a light in Tang Chujun's eyes. That light was something she had never seen in her once lifeless sister-in-law.

As the two sisters-in-law were talking, the doorman came to report that Song Shiguang, the son of the Duke of Changshan, wanted to see her. It was said that he had come with his children and gifts to personally take Shi Wanzhen home.

This time, we gave him enough face.

Shi Wanzhen grabbed Tang Chujun's sleeve and said, "Sister-in-law, he's coming, he's coming, what should I do?"

Tang Chujun used his fingers to pry her hands apart and said calmly, "I have said everything I should say. It is up to you whether to reply or not. I heard that your dowry is gone, and you sold or pawned it yourself. How can you be so foolish!"

Shi Wanzhen clenched her fists and said, "It would be great if Xia'er was here."

Tang Chujun shook his head. "Even if Xia'er is here, she won't make decisions for you. But she told you before that the Marquis' Mansion will be your backer and will protect you from the wind and rain. However, we will never support bad people or lazy people."

Shi Wanzhen was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and said, "I know what to do." Then she ran out in panic.

In a flash, she ran back, said nothing, knelt down in front of Tang Chujun and kowtowed, then ran back to the yard where she lived.

When she came out of the yard again, Song Shiguang and others had been waiting in the main hall for a long time.

Song Shiguang was impatient and wanted to hit someone. But when he saw Shi Wanzhen running in breathlessly, his anger subsided a little, but he still had a stern face, "What, are you really not going to go home?"

He acted like the head of the family and felt it would be beneath him to come and pick her up in person.

Shi Wanzhen was scared to death, but when she thought of Tang Chujun's words and what Xia'er had said to her earlier, she boldly handed a piece of paper to Song Shiguang and said, "If you want to take me back, you have to return my dowry first."

"What?" Song Shiguang felt as if his ears were broken, otherwise how could he hear such ridiculous words.

This is really bold!

He glared at Shi Wanzhen, "Say it again!"

Shi Wanzhen's heart trembled, "You return my dowry to me first! This is my dowry list. If you don't return it to me, I won't..."

Song Shiguang slapped Shi Wanzhen on the face, and blood immediately flowed out of her nose and dripped onto her brocade clothes.

It was also at this time that a group of people came in from outside the door.

The leader was none other than Shi Yunqi, the prince of the Marquis of Jian'an, with his mother Tang Chujun at his side and a group of palace guards following behind him.

Shi Yunqi is a scholar and is not likely to hit anyone.

But once he makes a move, his force is as powerful as thunder and lightning.

He slapped Prince Song in the face, and his hand turned red and painful.

With a cold face, he said word by word, "Song Shiguang, who the hell are you! How dare you beat up someone from the Marquis of Jian'an Mansion on my territory!"
