"You shameless little whore, how dare you secretly send the Jade Guanyin out of the house without our knowledge? Tell me! Where is the item? Where did you send it to? To which lover of yours?"

The old lady in the green robe was as thin as a monkey. Although she was short in stature, she had great strength. She pushed the woman standing in the yard to the ground with force and kicked her twice with her legs.

"That was the dowry brought by my Qian family. It has been sent to my sister and not given to anyone else!" The woman, whose eyes turned black after being kicked twice, tried to defend herself.

"Sister? Where did your sister come from? Is there anyone else in your Qian family? Which sister is it? The sister who sells her body in a brothel?" The old lady stretched out her dry claws and slapped the woman.

The bright red marks marred that beautiful face, and the old lady felt relieved when she saw it.

"Mother! You can't say that!" The woman didn't cry even when she was kicked and trembling, but now she was moved to tears by these words.

The old lady seemed to have finally found a breakthrough. She put her hands on her hips and laughed, "Don't you want to say that? I have to say that your Qian family is finished. You are the richest man in Qingzhou, but in the end, your family will be confiscated and exiled. All the women will be sent to brothels to become prostitutes and slaves!

When she first married into our family, it was such a grand occasion, and we thought she was some kind of treasure pot. But it turned out to be a shit pot. It didn't even last two days before it started to rot and stink!"

The woman couldn't stand the stimulation and wanted to get up and argue. The women in her Qian family were the most stubborn. After their family was searched, all the unmarried women who went to dirty places lost their lives for the sake of their innocence, even the wives were no exception.

Many of these poor people in the capital were bodies that she had secretly collected. She did not dare to disturb the newly married Marquis' wife, and only hoped that the youngest sister in the family could be happy and healthy.

"My daughter-in-law is hitting someone! Come quickly, son! This little whore is trying to hit me!" The old lady jumped up and shouted before the woman got up.

Soon, a well-dressed man came out of the room with a ruler in his hand and angrily beat the woman.

The man's hand was heavy, and the woman was shaking with pain all over. She rolled on the ground, and blood flowed out from her sleeves, leaving small patches of deep red on her thin clothes.

"I told you to be unfilial, I told you to bully my mother, I told you to give away everything in the house..."

"Yes, beat her! Let her know who is in charge of this family. That is the Jade Guanyin. If you give this to Old Madam Wen on her birthday, the Wen family will definitely look at you with respect, and your future career will surely be successful." The old lady felt more and more distressed as she spoke.

He turned around and said to the servants, "Go, go to her room and collect all the remaining dowry for me. Don't leave her any of it. Return the dowry to the Qian family. It is clearly the property of my Liu family."

"No! Those are all mine, you can't touch my dowry...Ah!!" The woman was hit on the head with a ruler, she spit out blood and collapsed.

"I'm telling you, there's no one left in your Qian family. We're just trying to keep you here. Otherwise, we would have divorced you long ago, considering you're a hen that doesn't lay eggs. Do you think you still have a place to live?

You're about to sleep on the street! But you don't know how to be grateful, and you even dare to hide the dowry. You deserve to die!" The old lady was not moved by the blood at all.

It was as if she was not a woman and had never been someone else's wife. It seemed that from the moment she became a mother-in-law, she was naturally upgraded to a pseudo-man and stood on the side of men.

For the benefit of these men, she tried her best and had no sympathy for her daughter-in-law, who was also a woman. She even lost her ability to empathize as a human being.

She became the most powerful pioneer of men's interests and she carried the banner for men.

"Oh no, oh no, madam, sir! Someone is breaking in outside!" The servant who had lost his shoes ran over in a hurry to report the news.

Theirs is just the residence of a sixth-rank official. If it weren't for the financial support from the Qian family, they wouldn't even have the money to buy a house in the capital. This place doesn't even have three courtyards, and you can tell the difference from the outside to the inside at a glance.

Qian Qiansui listened to the servant's report in such an awkward manner. By the time the report was made, she had already walked in.

But she didn't know if the people here liked to threaten people like this, she had heard the phrase "there is no one in her mother's family" more than once.

Is it true that for these so-called in-laws, marrying a daughter-in-law is not about bringing harmony between the two families, but about thinking about making the whole family rich?

You flatter your parents when they are around, but change your attitude when they are gone?

If the natal family is so important, why should a woman marry? Isn't it a lifelong harbor in her natal family? The risk of marrying here is too great.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the residence of an official appointed by the imperial court?" The old woman in front of her seemed to be very proud of her position as a sixth-rank official.

She probably didn't understand that in the capital, there were more sixth-rank officials than night watchmen outside.

The man seemed a little panicked. He had a very good reputation among his colleagues. He was gentle, hardworking and had a good temper. Everyone knew that he loved his wife, took care of his family, and could handle his work with ease.

Now that the side of him that was hidden in the gutter has been exposed to the public, he can no longer hide himself as a human being.

"All of you...all of you get out!"

"Big sister, are you okay?" Qian Qiansui didn't even bother to look at the two of them. A greedy old woman who was after property, and a domestic violence man with a beastly heart, were all her sore spots.

The woman on the ground was speechless for a long time. She must have just been hit on the head and was not yet conscious.

Qian Qiansui sighed, and asked the woman's personal maid and Yin Zhu to help her up, and the accompanying doctor also went into the house.

Someone nearby tried to stop him, but the guards brought by the family immediately went over and slapped him away.

Qian Qiansui was actually not familiar with this woman. It should be said that the original owner himself was not familiar with her. The Qian family made their fortune in Qingzhou, and their wealth grew along the way, even opening up the market in the capital.

The Qian family is a large family, and Qingzhou is their hometown. The original owner's father had no choice but to bring this branch to the capital for business. The original owner had always been with his father and brothers, and seldom knew people from his hometown.

This woman is the daughter of the eldest wife of Qingzhou, that is, the eldest daughter of the original owner's uncle, named Qian Qianhui.

Her husband was just a scholar at first. Probably because of his good appearance and his ability to pretend in public, he somehow caught the eye of her uncle. Not only did he sponsor him for the imperial examination, but he also married his daughter to him.

Therefore, marriages between officials and businessmen are risky because of the imbalance of power.

When the Qian family was rich, the eldest sister lived a good life, at least she had a dowry in her hands. But after the Qian family fell into poverty and the whole family was in trouble, one can imagine what happened to these girls who married out.

"Come on, I don't want to hear anything. Family portrait, tie this thing to a pillar and whip it to death. I want to hear the sound!"
