My bad father married a princess, my mother divorced me, and I became the group's favorite

As soon as the door opened, I saw Chunxi looking anxious.

"Miss, Miss, the old lady took people directly to the warehouse. Madam Xu had a conflict with them, and the little maid was afraid that Madam Xu would suffer a loss, so she ran back secretly."

Liu Yunniang frowned, she had guessed it right, the mother and son were so greedy.

"Go and call the servants and guards in the front yard and come with me to the storeroom. I want to see how she dares to snatch my dowry."

Chunxi listened to her mistress's instructions and quickly went to the front yard to call for help.

Liu Yunniang came to the warehouse with a group of servants.

I saw Mother Xu and Old Madam Ye facing each other face to face. Behind Old Madam Ye were ten people dressed as guards. It was obvious that they were not from their house. I really guessed it right.

It turned out that these ten people were really the ones Ye Wenbo left behind to help his mother sort out the family property and go to Beijing together.

Ye Wenbo's current mansion in the capital is a temporary rental house. In this era, the mansions of court officials in the capital are basically their own properties. Of course, there are also individual officials who are highly valued by the emperor and will be granted mansions.

As a newly appointed official of the fifth rank, he naturally did not have the nerve to ask His Majesty to grant him a mansion.

So his current residence is a small courtyard that he temporarily rented when he came to Beijing.

Now that he was going to marry Princess Pingle, he naturally couldn't continue living in that shabby courtyard.

However, the Ye family had no savings, and when he went to Beijing, the banknotes Liu Yunyang gave him had been almost spent.

He was now anxious to purchase a mansion as soon as possible, and he had his eyes on Liu Yunniang's dowry.

Old Madam Ye had long coveted Liu Yunniang's dowry, but as a mother-in-law, she definitely could not get involved.

Now that I have fallen out with Liu Yunniang, there is no need to hide what my son has told me.

So he brought people with him and prepared to rob him.

Mother Xu naturally refused to agree, so the two sides just confronted each other.

When Liu Yunniang and Ye Xiaoxiao arrived, they saw the tense situation.

He shouted angrily, "Madam, what are you doing? How dare you rob my dowry in broad daylight? Is there any law?"

Madam Ye snorted coldly: "Liu, don't be ungrateful. Everything in the Ye family belongs to my son, and your dowry naturally belongs to me too."

Liu Yunniang sneered and said, "Mother-in-law, you are so shameless. These dowries were brought by my Liu family. What does it have to do with your Ye family?"

Madam Ye’s face darkened: “You have no say today, come, move it!”

Liu Yunniang said loudly: "Let's see who dares to move! These people I brought with me are not vegetarians either."

For a while, the two sides were in a stalemate and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Liu Yunniang smiled coldly and looked at Old Madam Liu with disdain.

"It's a pity that mother-in-law still boasts that the Ye family is a family of scholars. Don't you know that according to the laws of our dynasty, the ownership of a woman's dowry belongs entirely to the woman herself. Even after marriage, the husband's family has no right to occupy or dispose of it at will."

Old Madam Ye was stunned when she heard this. She knew this of course.

"If a woman encounters misfortune in her marriage, such as divorce or being abandoned, her dowry must be returned intact to the woman. If the husband's family attempts to seize it, they can go to the government to sue. It seems that the mother-in-law wants her daughter-in-law to go to the government to sue, so she dares to rob directly. Chunxi, go and open the door of the mansion. I want all the neighbors to come and see how the old lady of the Ye family robbed the daughter-in-law of her dowry. When we go to the government, we can have more witnesses."

When Chunxi heard this, he hurried to the front yard, asked the servant at the door to open the door, and deliberately shouted loudly: "Come and see, Madam Ye is stealing her daughter-in-law's dowry! Come and see..."

This shout attracted many people to gather around and look at the scene, pointing and talking.

Old Madam Ye was so angry that her face turned blue. She glared at Liu and said viciously, "Liu, quickly call in your shameless maid! If outsiders see us like this, how can we save the face of our Ye family?"

Liu Yunniang did not expect that Chunxi, the little maid, would be so bold and actually started shouting in front of the door.

At this moment, many people had gathered at the door looking in, full of curiosity about the Ye family's affairs.

"Didn't I hear that the son of the Ye family went to Beijing to take the imperial examination and became a high-ranking official?"

"Who knows? I saw a carriage parked outside his house a few days ago. Who knows if he is from the capital?"

“Hey, you said that this old lady Ye always pretended to be kind, but it turns out she is this kind of person.”

"Humph, I can tell from the looks of it that you are not married. How can a mother-in-law control her own daughter-in-law and let outsiders see it?"

"That daughter-in-law is rich, so she was naturally treated with respect before. But now that her son is an official, she can't help but bully him."

"oh ......"

It has to be said that the eyes of the spectators are the sharpest.

Everyone talked at once and guessed the truth of the matter.

In an instant, the good reputation that Old Madam Ye had maintained for many years was shattered.

Ye Xiaoxiao was watching the show with great interest. Gossip in ancient times spread very quickly.

Seeing more and more people gathering in front of the door, Old Madam Ye could no longer hold back her pride and ordered the guards around her to close the door.

Liu Yunniang would not do as she wished, and spoke lightly,

"Are you sure you want to help him take my dowry? If he does, I will definitely report you to the authorities. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for you to follow Madam Ye in? Wouldn't your master be embarrassed too?"

Everyone looked at each other, and she was right.

When his princess came, she specifically instructed him to help the old lady move to the capital, and not to spread any other information. After all, the princess and Lord Ye were not married yet. If people knew that Lord Ye already had a wife and daughter at home, it would be bad for the princess's reputation.

However, they couldn't understand what was so good about Lord Ye. He was a talented man, but his name was not on the list. Even his fifth-rank official position was arranged by the princess.

I really don't know what the princess sees in him.

After hearing what the old lady said, everyone just stood there with no intention of taking action.

Ye Xiaoxiao watched as her mother actually frightened the group of people with just a few words. She blinked her big eyes at her.

"Mother is great. Grandmother bullies mother. Grandmother is a bad person."

Seeing that these people didn't listen to her, Old Lady Ye gasped for breath and looked very angry.

After hearing what Ye Xiaoxiao said, he was so angry that he trembled all over. He pointed at her nose and cursed: "You cheap girl, you ungrateful bastard, do you know that your last name is Ye and you are from the Ye family? I was thinking of bringing you to Beijing in a few years so that you won't be dragged down by your mother. But you just follow your mother and do whatever you want. Sooner or later, you will suffer the consequences."

Ye Xiaoxiao stared back at her without showing any weakness, and loudly retorted: "Mother has money, lots of money, Xiaoxiao can buy any fruit. But grandma, if you don't have mother's money in the future, you won't be able to buy good fruit to eat!"

When these words were spoken, not only did Liu Yunniang find it funny, but even Mother Xu and the maids around her couldn't help laughing.

Mother Xu smiled and said to Ye Xiaoxiao: "Miss, don't worry, from now on Mother Xu will buy you good fruits, lots of them, and won't give any that you can't finish to that evil-hearted person."

The maid next to her also echoed: "That's right, that's right, I will make you lots of cakes in the future."

"You even want to take away my daughter-in-law's dowry. How can we expect you to treat our young lady well?"

"So stingy and vicious."

......

For a moment, everyone was talking at once, and there was a sense of solidarity towards the enemy.
