The Return of the Marquis's Daughter
Chapter 18 Min's Dowry
"Madam said that the Marquis' Mansion supported me, how could I not know that? I remember that I started working in the manor when I was four years old.
Feeding pigs, making fire, sweeping the floor, doing everything. Even the sheep was beaten and scolded by Wang Po from time to time. After it was six years old, it went directly to the mountains to chop firewood.
I was still chopping wood when your mansion sent someone to pick me up! Is this what Madam meant by the mansion supporting me?
And you, Qin Huai, this is what you think the life of a vulgar person coming out of a manor is like.
Who wouldn't want to be a learned scholar? Mastering the art of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting? Who wouldn't want to be a noble lady that everyone admires?
While you were living a life of luxury in the mansion, I was still searching for dry firewood in the deep mountains and forests!
While you were enjoying the best of food in the mansion, I was in the mountains gnawing on black steamed buns that were as cold as stone. While you were wearing silk and satin, I was still naked!
While you were reciting poems and painting outside, I was washing clothes and vegetables in the icy river water. While you were sleeping in the spacious and bright rooms in the mansion, I could only live in the storage room.
And she has been living there for more than ten years. I am also the eldest daughter of a marquis's mansion, but my life is worse than that of a maid. Wang Zhaodi lives a more refined and comfortable life than I, the eldest daughter of a marquis's mansion.
Is this what Madam said about the Marquisate supporting me? If this is really the kind of support, then forget it!
Whoever wants it, take it! As the saying goes: Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs! Do I look like someone who has family, a father?
Now I just want to get back what belongs to me, why are you making things so difficult for me?
Since Madam doesn't want me to marry Gu Chang'an, then I won't marry him. I'm just a bastard from a manor, so it doesn't matter to me. " Qin Wenlan's words made the Qin family feel ashamed.
The same thing happened to Qin Zhaoshi, who almost wanted to hide her head under the seat.
Qin Huai was a heartless person to begin with. He hadn't changed at all. He still sat there with a sneer on his face, indifferent. He was a cold-blooded and emotionless person. How could he be made to change?
How could Yu agree to let her not marry Gu Chang'an? However, she was still very distressed about all of Min's dowry. She was so heartbroken that she wanted to vomit three liters of blood.
"When did I say I don't want to get married? It's just the dowry..." Yu hesitated.
"Oh, does Madam still think that it was the Marquis's Mansion that supported me, so the Min family's dowry was offset?
Are you confused? I'm not asking you for anything, but the dowry should have belonged to me." Qin Wenlan stood up from his chair and stared at Yu with a sharp look.
When Yu met her gaze, her expression tensed and a flash of horror crossed her heart. Did the little bitch know her plan?
Then, she denied it in her heart. No, even Shu'er didn't know about her plans. Besides, she had been keeping Min's dowry all along.
Thinking of this, the panic in Yu's heart immediately dissipated. Yu's eyes immediately turned colder and she said to Qin Wenlan, "The Marquis' Mansion has other plans for those dowries."
"Haha, is that so? Madam, does the Marquis' Mansion have other plans? Or does Madam have other plans?" Qin Wenlan sneered, pulled the corners of his mouth, and looked at Yu fixedly.
The panic in Yu's heart had originally dissipated, but at this moment, Qin Wenlan's gaze made her heart begin to feel uneasy again.
No, no, that little bitch Qin Wenlan shouldn't know all my plans...
Although Yu kept comforting herself in her heart, she still felt a little guilty deep down in her heart.
She no longer dared to meet Qin Wenlan's gaze, but instead looked away.
"Miss, what did you say? Could I possibly lie?"
Qin Wenlan's eyes were still fixed on Yu, and his expression did not change at all because of her words.
"You have a good plan. If you want me to marry Gu Changan, you must return all the dowry my mother gave you.
I just want all of my mother's dowry. Everything. It's not your mansion's stuff anyway, is it that difficult? "Qin Wenlan's words made Yu's heart twitch violently.
The dowry was worth a fortune! Some of the rare treasures inside were so valuable that even money couldn't buy them.
As soon as Qin Wenlan opened her mouth, she asked for all the dowry. It must be said that her appetite was indeed too big.
But if I don't give it to her, Shu'er's marriage...
Thinking of this, Yu still felt sorry for the dowry, so she scolded him directly: "You're dreaming! I told you, those dowries will be of great use in the mansion, don't covet them anymore!"
Qin Wenlan spread his hands and said, "I'm sorry, but I can't accept the marriage you arranged for me!"
"But, then again, no matter how valuable the dowry is, it can't be compared to the entire Marquis's Mansion, right? If Gu Changan's marriage falls through, it will take more than just a little dowry to settle it!
By then, even if I had a larger dowry, it wouldn't be enough to save the situation. What's the point then? Madam, you say you're smart and capable, but it turns out you're just like that!"
The last few words were spoken to Qin Jiawang and Qin Zhaoshi, and the tone was full of profound meaning.
After saying this, Qin Wenlan didn't plan to stay here any longer. He stood up and said, "Father, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave. There's no need to rush this matter. You can discuss it slowly and consider it slowly."
After saying that, she turned around and strode out.
As soon as Qin Wenlan left, the people in the hall fell silent!
Yu was still feeling sorry for the dowry she had painstakingly planned, and she was really upset.
If all that dowry is gone, what's the point of all her painstaking planning? Just for a false reputation? No, no, you little bitch won't let you succeed~~~
However, Qin Jiawang did not think the same as her. He just wanted the entire Marquisate to be protected from being implicated. If no one married Gu Changan, then his reign as Marquis would be over.
Thinking of this, he grabbed Yu's hand and said, "What she just said is right. Although the dowry is valuable, it is not as important as the entire Marquis' Mansion.
I have decided to agree to her request. If I lose my dowry, I can get another one. But if I lose the entire mansion, I will be left with nothing."
As soon as Qin Jiawang finished speaking, Yu's face froze. She had carefully planned those dowries, was she really going to get them for free?
When Yu thought that what he had planned with great difficulty would fall into Qin Wenlan's hands, he felt so angry that he couldn't calm down!
"How about we wait a little longer, maybe things will turn around..."
Yu was still unwilling to let the dowry fall into Qin Wenlan's hands, so she made false suggestions to the Qin family.
Qin Jiawang shook his head and said, "I have made up my mind. Madam, please stop trying to persuade me. Just give her the dowry. It won't be difficult to deal with it later. Money is just a thing outside of the body..."
