Chapter 74: Cannon Fodder Little Mistress 2 Marrying the Emperor Who Has No Heir 32

The imperial decree of divorce came down early the next morning.

Fei Zhen didn't even change his blood-stained and dirty clothes. His face was tired and his eyes were bloodshot. Even if he didn't want to, he could only kneel down and accept the order.

Xia Xizhi was injured and did not come, so Shen Qiao came to the Marquis' Mansion to help her divorce Fei Zhen.

"Mother, can you please let me see Xizhi again? It was indeed my fault, and I apologize. But there are some things I still want to explain to Xizhi in person. Perhaps, we shouldn't have come to this point..."

Fei Zhen leaned over, saluted Shen Qiao and spoke.

Shen Qiao snorted coldly and rolled his eyes.

"You shake off your snot when it runs into your mouth, you start to produce milk when your child dies, and you regret when your wife dies. But it's too late! Don't call me mother, I'm not your mother."

After saying that, she turned around and ignored Fei Zhen, glanced at the hairpin on Fei Shuixin's head, narrowed her eyes, and said loudly to the maid beside her,

"Xiaoyue, go get the dowry list. I'm going to check them one by one today!"

At this moment, Zhong Yourong, who had been in the house getting something, suddenly came out with an unhappy look on his face.

"Madam Shen, what do you mean? Once you marry into our mansion, you belong to our mansion, and the dowry will naturally belong to our mansion.

Even if my son didn't save her immediately at the banquet, he couldn't ask His Majesty for permission to divorce him in public. Where has she put the reputation of our Marquisate? She has ruined my son's reputation!

Xia Xizhi's people can leave, and they can divorce, but the dowry must be left behind!

We, the Marquis' Mansion, have already been merciful by not asking your Xia family to pay compensation. Yet you still want to take away the dowry? What wishful thinking! "

Fei Shuixin followed suit, "Yes, yes. Xia Xizhi's actions have damaged the reputation of our mansion. It might even affect my future marriage. Her dowry must be compensated to our mansion."

She had been longing for such a large dowry for a long time, and was waiting for Xia Xizhi to give her a few boxes when she got married. How could he suddenly take it away with him when he got divorced?

She couldn't let her family take her away so easily...

Shen Qiao scoffed twice, "You're not allowed to take me away? Are you sure?"

Zhong Yourong groaned, "Yes, you can't take it away."

She, Shen Qiao, was born into a lowly merchant family. So what if she was rich? Lowly was still lowly.

Even if he has General Xia's support, how could that general from a grassroots background dare to go against the Marquis' Mansion?

She wants to decide on the dowry today.

"Okay, okay, then let's let everyone judge today!" Shen Qiao said, turned around and climbed up the wall of the mansion in three or two steps, pinching his waist and crying.

"Hey everyone, come and take a look! I'm trying to get my daughter's dowry back, but the old lady in the mansion won't allow it. Is there any law?"

"I've never heard of anyone deducting the bride's dowry even after a divorce. This really opened my eyes!"

"Everyone, come and take a look!!!"

"Everyone says that we merchants are lowly, but we merchants wouldn't do such a thing. The century-old aristocratic family can do this. They are indeed cultured people. We can't afford to offend them!"

He cried and slapped his thigh, attracting a crowd of onlookers.

The eyelids of the people in the Marquis' Mansion twitched. Is this the general's wife or a shrew...

Especially Zhong Yourong was shaking with anger, he never thought Shen Qiao would dare to do this, pointing at Shen Qiao,

"You, you rude bitch! You are a lowly merchant, so rude! I told you long ago that I shouldn't marry someone as uneducated as you!"

Shen Qiao raised his voice even higher and shouted outside,

"Oh, you are noble? You are noble on the surface, but secretly you are plotting your daughter-in-law's dowry. What's wrong with us merchants? We don't steal or rob, so why are we eating your rice?"

"Everyone, come and judge for yourself!"

More and more people came outside the wall to see the fun, and the place suddenly became abuzz.

Zhong Yourong listened to the mocking voices outside, and his face turned blue with anger. "You..."

Before she could finish her words, Fei Zhen interrupted her with a scolding, "Mother! Be careful with your words!"

"The dowry originally belonged to Xizhi."

Fei Zhen looked up at Shen Qiao, her face full of apology. "I'm sorry, it's my mother's fault. You can take all of Xizhi's dowry. Madam Shen, please come down. I won't let anyone stop you."

He never thought his mother would do this, and he didn't react for a moment.

After Fei Zhen spoke, Zhong Yourong didn't dare to say anything else. He could only grit his teeth and glare at Shen Qiao.

Shen Qiao groaned, jumped down, and began to count the dowry.

When they checked in the end, they found that a lot of jewelry, vases, beads and clothes were missing. Shen Qiao crossed his legs and seemed to be refusing to leave until they took them out.

Zhong Yourong and Fei Shuixin took them out reluctantly with great reluctance.

When Shen Qiao was leaving, he turned around and taunted her.

"So my daughter married into your mansion, and not only did you not buy her anything, you even extorted money from her. You guys are so poor, right? Pah!"

Fei Zhen's face suddenly turned pale. Did Xizhi actually suffer so much injustice in the Marquis' Mansion?

"I'm sorry, I didn't know about it before. It's my fault. I will compensate Xizhi later." Fei Zhen apologized sincerely.

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Shen Qiao, "Please don't do that again. Don't bring trouble to my daughter again. My daughter is better off without you."

After saying that, she left with a group of people carrying the dowry.

Zhong Yourong and Fei Shuixin felt so sad when they saw the dowry being carried away. It was as if flesh was being cut from their bodies. Their faces looked terribly grim.

"Humph! She's already pregnant. Who would want her if she leaves the Marquis' Mansion? She's the only child in the Xia family. We don't even have a son. What's the point of having money? Can she keep it? Sooner or later, she'll be begging to come back to our Marquis' Mansion. By then, her dowry won't be just this little bit!"

Zhong Yourong's words made Fei Shuixin's eyes light up. Yes, the Xia family has no son, and she, a woman, cannot keep the Xia family's money. Sooner or later, she will have to come back to ask for protection from the Marquis' Mansion!

......

Fei Zhen was suddenly dismissed from his post, and the Ministry of Justice sent people to search his house, but they found nothing after a whole day.

Everyone in the Marquis' Mansion was suddenly in a panic. Although they finally found nothing and left, Fei Zhen's official position had not been restored for five days.

Zhong Yourong was anxious and angry, so she took Fei Shuixin to Yuanyin Temple to burn incense.

"Master chef, please take a look at what's going on with my son. He was fine before, why did this happen all of a sudden? Is it related to my ex-daughter-in-law? She is a jinx. Did she curse my son?"

The monk in front of Zhong Yourong counted on his fingers and spoke a few words slowly and unfathomably. Zhong Yourong looked confused.

"Master, what do you mean? I don't quite understand. Can you explain it to me..."

The monk gave a look to the person next to him, and the little monk next to him took out a bowl. The meaning was very clear: give silver.

Zhong Yourong gritted her teeth and put the gold hairpin on her head in.

The little monk said with a smile, "Master, what you mean is that your ex-daughter-in-law is the blessed person. All the blessings in your family were brought by her. Once she is gone, the blessings will naturally go away, hehe."

"What?! How is this possible!" Zhong Yourong couldn't believe it and raised his voice.

"How is it impossible? My master has never made a mistake in his calculations. Believe it or not, just leave now." The little monk chased the man away unhappily.

Zhong Yourong was kicked out with a very bad face, and told Fei Shuixin what the monk said.

"How is that possible? This monk is talking nonsense! Our mansion has always been blessed with good fortune. How could someone like Xia Xizhi possibly have such good fortune?"

Fei Shuixin's eyes rolled around.

"Mother, I think it might be true! Do you think her brother was dismissed from his post after the divorce? And Fei Yuan was also beaten for gambling. I think we should quickly go and take Xia Xizhi back to the Marquis' Mansion..."
