After the rebirth of the wronged soft girl, the devil's crematorium

After receiving the order, the servant hurried to find Su Wan.

At this moment, Su Wan was still in Youchun Hall, accepting the complaints from her mother-in-law.

Seeing that Wen Shi was still upset about her father leaving the valley, Su Wan explained, "Mother-in-law, you misunderstood. Father was afraid of the long journey, so he went against his principles and left the valley. Judging from his temperament, it's clear that he values ​​the Zheng family very much. Mother-in-law, please don't blame me."

Wen sneered, "How dare I? I'll just move around more often from now on."

What talent for governing the world? Just brag! And that military talisman, maybe he spread it on purpose just to make Erlang marry this unpresentable girl!

"My father once taught me to be a lady from a noble family like my mother-in-law. Unfortunately, I can't learn it." Su Wan lowered her head and felt a little inferior.

Wen's expression softened slightly. She came from a distinguished family, a model of aristocratic family in her youth, and was known for her pride and arrogance. She despised Su Wan's character and was determined to find a way to punish her.

"My Wen family is a century-old family, and it's also a family of scholars. All the ladies from aristocratic families that I've met are now capable of supporting their families."

Su Wan smiled and replied, "Mother-in-law, you are absolutely right. I've heard your reputation for a long time. You come from a prominent family and are extremely pampered. When you married into the Zheng Mansion, your dowry was so vast that it stretched for ten miles along the long street. I'm filled with envy when I hear that."

There was a hint of smile in Wen's eyes. Su Wan finally said something pleasing today.

"However, what I admire most is your ability, mother-in-law. You have managed the Zheng Mansion in perfect order and everything in it runs smoothly with your own efforts. You are especially loving towards the younger generation and have never used their dowries to supplement public expenses. Wan'er respects you, mother-in-law."

"Wan'er thought about the uproar that had been going on in the Song family in recent days. Wasn't it because the head of the family used his daughter-in-law's dowry that caused all the trouble?"

Wen scoffed and said disdainfully, "This is what a mistress should do. Using a dowry? Ridiculous!"

His face was as happy as a flower blooming in spring, but Qin's face, which was below him, looked as pale as the bottom of a pot.

Wen Shi didn't notice and continued to say proudly, "Our family has a century-old foundation. How can ordinary families compare? Only incompetent people would use their daughter-in-law's meager dowry."

Su Wan raised an eyebrow and glanced at Qin. "Speaking of the dowry, when I went to put those items away today, I found that the screen ornaments my brother gave me a few days ago were missing. I asked the steward in the courtyard and found out that my sister-in-law took them away."

Su Wan ignored Qin's embarrassment and continued, "We're all family, how can Wan'er be so stingy? I don't mind what my sister-in-law took. It's just that the ornament is a little different, can you please return it to me?"

Su Wan finished her words with a smile, as if she was just stating a very ordinary matter. However, Wen's expression changed drastically. She glared at Qin and asked, "What's going on?!"

Qin shuddered, and when she looked at her mother-in-law, she seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.

"I'm asking you a question!"

Qin laughed dryly, "I just thought it was a nice item, so I took it to enjoy it for a few days."

This was originally intended to please the eldest princess, so as to reduce costs when doing business with her people. Fortunately, it has not been sent out yet.

But what happened to Su Wan today? She never cared about these things in the past.

When Wen saw Qin's guilty look and heard what Su Wan said, she knew that she had taken more than just this one.

Good, Su Wan is waiting for me here!

Wen felt as if a heavy rain was falling on her head, making her cold from head to toe. Her smile that was as bright as a spring flower had been replaced by a gloomy haze.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Put everything back!"

Qin replied softly, "Yes."

Su Wan smiled faintly, noticing the tense atmosphere. "Then I'll have to trouble you, sister-in-law. When I went to check the storeroom today, I found that my dowry took up quite a bit of space. I feel really bad about this. Tingyuxuan's private storeroom has been tidied up, and I want to put my dowry there so it's more convenient to take care of."

This sentence is beautifully said, but every word is sarcastic.

Wen replied with a stiff face: "It's up to you, take care of your own things!"

Su Wan smiled gently, "My daughter-in-law doesn't have much to do on weekdays, unlike my sister-in-law who has to look at the account books every day, so I can still take care of the dowry."

Wen said with a half-smile, "You really know how to enjoy life! You've been married for so long, and you can't even read an account book. When has our Zheng family ever kept an idler? Go check the account book for your sister-in-law tomorrow!"

Su Wan's expression changed, like a child who had his candy taken away, feeling extremely aggrieved. "Then after I have settled all the dowry, I will go help my sister-in-law with the account books."

Qin's teeth nearly broke as she looked at Su Wan. Unlike Wen, although she came from an aristocratic family, she was a concubine's daughter and was only able to marry into the Duke's mansion because she was adopted by the main wife.

But her husband was not ambitious, and she was a strong-willed woman, so she always wanted to do something to make her stepmother look up to her.

Family business inevitably requires socializing and giving gifts, but how can one afford to give away their meager dowry? Su Wan's biological mother came from a merchant family. Although her status was humble, her dowry was indeed generous. In addition, the Su family loved her so much that when Su Wan married into the family, her dowry was comparable to that of the Wen family.

In the past, Qin Shi had become even more presumptuous when she saw Su Wan was indifferent. But after Su Wan returned to Yizhou, she changed. Could it be that Su Yanci had reminded her of something?

Qin was puzzled by Su Wan's change, but Wen felt extremely humiliated by Qin's actions.

This is the first time I feel so aggrieved in front of this little bitch. I am speechless!

Looking at Su Wan's sweet smile, she was very happy! She pinched the teacup and wanted to explode, but she had no reason.

Just at this moment, a servant came breathlessly to report that the head of the family had something urgent to discuss with Su Wan, so Wen reluctantly let the servant go.

When Su Wan followed the servant to the study, both the father and son had gloomy faces, which made her a little uneasy.

"Father."

Zheng Weilan nodded lightly.

Zheng Yanchen, standing aside, looked at Su Wan, his heart filled with confusion. He didn't know why his father would suspect Su Wan. He was certain that even if Su Wan had ten times the courage, she wouldn't have the guts to report the incident.

Father Zheng glanced at Zheng Yanchen and then turned to Su Wan and said, "We have something to tell you."

Su Wanyi listened with an innocent look on her face.

"Something happened in Peach Blossom Valley. Your father is missing."

"What?" Su Wan's heart was shocked when these words came out, just like throwing a huge rock into a calm lake, causing thousands of waves.

Su Wan's eyes widened as she asked, "Gone? When did it happen?"

Zheng Weilan was obviously surprised by Su Wan's reaction.

"It's the day we return to Beijing. Don't worry, think carefully about what your father said before he left."

Su Wan's chest was heaving, and the scene of meeting her father kept flashing through her mind.

Her father only told her not to worry, that he would take care of everything. So, was this part of his plan? Even if she trusted her father again, the memories of her past life made her feel uneasy.

"When I met my father, you and your husband were present. I didn't think he was anything strange. What happened?"

At this time, Zheng Yanchen said, "Calm down first. There was a sudden explosion in Peach Blossom Valley. But everyone inside is gone. It seems they noticed it in advance. The next step is to find my father-in-law and ensure his safety."

When Su Wan heard that there were no casualties, she felt relieved. It seemed that her father had already made arrangements.

But she still looked bewildered. Su Wan's body was shaking, tears welled up in her eyes, and her voice trembled as she spoke, "What should I do? I still need help from my father and husband."

Zheng Yanchen felt annoyed when he saw Su Wan's cowardly look.

Really useless! Where did that arrogance go? Now when things got bad, she acted like a coward. This was exactly what Zheng Yanchen disliked about Su Wan.

When he thought of the humiliation he suffered that day, Zheng Yanchen wanted to take this opportunity to teach Su Wan a lesson.
