Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy
Chapter 74 No Need for Such a Great Ceremony
Jing'an Marquis Mansion, Songhe Hall.
Mrs. Xie's words were cold and heartless, and Xie Qingrou felt a surge of anger in her heart.
Xie Jingyuan seemed to be really afraid that Wan'er would affect the feng shui of the Xie family's ancestral tomb, or even his own fortune, so he remained silent.
After a pause, Mrs. Xie's voice could be heard faintly: "Finding a cemetery in the suburbs of Beijing to bury Wan'er and not letting her end up in a mass grave is the most righteous act our Xie family has done!"
"Also, Tong'er and her daughter have only been home for two days and so many things have happened. It has caused chaos in the mansion. It's better to send them back as soon as possible!"
Hearing this, Xie Qingrou's heart tightened. Even if they sacrificed Wan'er, they still couldn't stay in the Marquis' Mansion? No, they needed to think of a solution quickly. They couldn't be driven away like this! She quickly walked out of the yard and ran towards the Bixian Pavilion.
Inside the house, Xie Jingyuan finally stopped obeying and took a step forward, pleading, "Mother, please grant your son's wish..."
Xie Jingyuan smelled of alcohol. Old Madam Xie couldn't help but frown and said coldly, "With so many things going on at home, you still have the time to drink?" She sneered, "You don't know yet, do you? Early this morning, the Jiang family sent someone to take Jiang away..."
Xie Jingyuan was shocked when he heard this. His anger soared and he said angrily: "This bitch, the Jiang family came to pick her up and she followed them? Does she still have me as her husband in her heart?" After saying this, he stormed out of Songhe Hall.
Ever since she fainted, Old Madam Xie often had headaches. She rubbed her swollen head and couldn't help but curl her lips. These useless descendants, this family still needs her to take charge!
Xie Jingyuan didn't believe Jiang Muxue would just leave so easily, so he hurried towards Yingxueju. He was still drunk, and he stumbled as he walked, frightening the servant who kept urging him to slow down.
After walking around Yingxue Residence, he really couldn't find Jiang Muxue. Xie Jingyuan's rage flared up, and he kicked over a few chairs and stools in anger. Then he walked quickly towards the gate of the mansion, and told the servant to prepare the car as he walked. He wanted to go to Jiang's house and bring Jiang Muxue back!
When I arrived at the mansion gate, I happened to see several carriages stopped. A man in dark blue clothes and with an upright posture was waiting beside a carriage with his back to the mansion gate.
Xie Qingli and Jiang Muxue got off the carriage one after another, chatting and laughing with the man.
Xie Jingyuan's chest was filled with anger. He shouted, "Jiang, you are so bold! How dare you seduce a man in broad daylight!"
Jiang Muxue's expression froze upon hearing this. She sneered, "My Lord, you really are judging others by your own standards. You're being affectionate with someone in front of the mansion gate, and you think everyone in the world is as shameless as you?"
Xie Jingyuan was so angry that he was shaking all over. How dare this bitch humiliate him in public?! He said angrily: "Today I will teach you a lesson..." As he spoke, he rushed towards Jiang Muxue.
Xie Qingli's face darkened and a small stone popped out of her hand.
The stone hit Xie Jingyuan's knee accurately. Xie Jingyuan felt his knee go soft and his body immediately fell forward, sliding several meters along the steps of the marquis' mansion before stopping.
The sting of his forehead scraping against the ground sobered him up. He opened his eyes slightly, only to see a pair of men's cloth shoes. He slowly looked up, but could only see the man's dark blue clothes and his sharp chin.
The man lowered his head slightly and said in a cold voice: "My lord, there is no need to show such courtesy. I cannot bear it!" After that, he took two steps back.
Xie Jingyuan finally saw clearly that the man was Cheng Shan, the housekeeper of the Jiang Mansion!
With the help of the servant, Xie Jingyuan slowly stood up. He looked up and saw that the place was full of people watching the fun. He was secretly angry. He had lost face today!
Xie Jingyuan nodded slightly to Butler Cheng as a greeting, then limped off after Jiang Muxue. He whispered, "Xue, why didn't you call me when you went back to visit your parents today? Is your mother-in-law okay?"
Jiang Muxue ignored Xie Jingyuan and took Xie Qingli's hand and walked towards the mansion. Behind them, Butler Cheng had arranged for the accompanying servants to unload the boxes of gifts from the cart and carry them towards Yingxue Residence.
The commotion at the gate of the mansion had already alarmed everyone inside.
Xie Qingyao stood at the inner gate of the mansion, twisting the handkerchief in her hand vigorously, her heart pounding with jealousy. These gifts should have been hers. Xie Qingli was just a village girl, so why should she get them?!
An's mother and daughter were also jealous. When the last box passed by An, she could no longer hold back and shouted, "Sister-in-law, don't these things need to be put into the public account? After all, after all..." An really couldn't think of a suitable reason for a moment.
Jiang Muxue glanced at An coldly and said impatiently, "What do you want to say, sister-in-law?"
Seeing An Shi being so useless, Xie Qingyao secretly felt anxious and could only speak softly: "Mother, the gifts and favors given to the Marquis' Mansion are all paid from the public account. Logically, the gifts given to the Marquis' Mansion by other families should also be put into the public account!"
An's eyes lit up and she said repeatedly, "Yes, yes, that's what I mean!"
Xie Jingyuan, who was about to leave, also stopped. If the money could be deposited into the public account, it would of course be great!
Jiang Muxue sneered inwardly. In the past, Xie Qingyao loved to pretend to be out of touch with the world. She would just quietly hint and wait for others to hand good things to her. Now, times have changed, and she has been reduced to personally snatching things!
Jiang Muxue's beautiful eyes sparkled as she pointed at the boxes and chuckled, "To be honest, these are gifts from the Jiang family's relatives to Li'er. Li'er has been living away from home for over a decade, and they want to compensate her for all the hardships she's endured!"
She changed the subject and snorted coldly, "According to your logic, these gifts should be confiscated. The old lady holds birthday banquets every year, and the jade ruyi and glass Buddhist beads she receives, the Duan stone cloud pattern inkstone and the paintings of Master Zeng from the previous dynasty that the Marquis's subordinates gave him as a gift..."
She turned to look at Mrs. An and said, "The red wooden chaise longue with cloud pattern that the An family gave to my second brother and his wife last year, and the red jadeite headpiece that they gave to Qi'er, are all going to be confiscated?"
An was suddenly speechless and silently pulled Xie Qingqi back a step.
Jiang Muxue looked at Xie Qingyao again: "And you, over the years, the gifts the Jiang family gave you every year were extremely valuable. Logically, they should be confiscated. If you can't remember, I can provide a list of the gifts from previous years."
"According to your logic, these gifts should have been confiscated immediately, but you secretly kept them in your own possession for so many years. So, in addition to handing over the gifts, shouldn't you also be charged interest? Does that satisfy you?"
The people present all turned pale. Asking them to hand over their treasures and pay interest? Dream on!
Xie Jingyuan looked at Xie Qingyao coldly, secretly cursing her as a troublemaker. He said in a cold voice, "Yao'er, stop talking nonsense and don't create trouble!" After that, he turned away.
An also glared at Xie Qingyao, as if she was afraid that Jiang Muxue would force her to take out the treasure, and pulled Xie Qingqi away quickly.
Jiang Muxue looked at the stiff-set Xie Qingyao and sneered, "The feeling of losing more than you gain must be quite exhilarating!" She pulled Xie Qingli with her and walked briskly back to Yingxueju.
……
Li'an Garden.
Xie Qingli and Chunya were busy tidying up her small storehouse. When her mother was preparing Li'an Garden, she had given her a lot of good things to her small storehouse. Now, with the gifts given by everyone in the Jiang Mansion, the small storehouse was instantly full. She couldn't help but smile, and now she was already a small rich woman!
She was frowning as she looked at the warehouse list. More than a month ago, her master Zou Ping had already brought Han Jue back to Shengjing City to settle down. If she wanted to succeed in her revenge, she would need her own manpower and intelligence network, all of which required money. She was struggling to decide which items to pawn in exchange for the money.
Suddenly, Jiang Muxue's maid Dong Ning led a woman into the yard. The woman had a stern face and light steps. She was obviously a martial artist. I don't know who she is...
