Space-time SWAT

Mrs. Huiningbo's face was ashen.

The valuable things placed in the hall where she is sitting now are all taken from Su Huilan's dowry, but Su Dongchen turned a blind eye to it, as if he didn't know what they were doing, but all the things he reported were that they had or The valuables sold or pawned or given away are worth more than tens of thousands of gold.

Su Dongchen smiled gracefully, and said with a little apology: "Although these things are very precious, our An Guo Gongfu is not a poor owner, but these things are not ordinary things, but have a history, commemorative significance Great. An Guogong's mansion has been passed down from generation to generation, and no one will take these precious objects as dowry. If you dare to prodigal like this, you will have no face to see your ancestors when you go underground. But now that it is sent out, it is naturally a mistake in our mansion , so I have to use silver taels to buy it back or exchange it with other items of equal value, in short, it will not make Huiningbo Mansion suffer."

Mrs. Huiningbo was flustered and speechless, thinking in her heart that Hu's family might not be able to escape this time.

Hu Sheng was sitting beside him, his face was pale, he kept wiping off his sweat, and he could only say: "Yes, yes." His whole body was as soft as noodles.

Su Dongchen sat firmly, sipping tea slowly.This tea is a tribute tea. Given the shabby settlement of Huining Bo Mansion, it is all given by Mrs. Hu. The palace often rewards Anguo Gong with good tea, and most of them are managed by Mrs. Hu, except for Mr. Anguo. What she can share with his children is basically for her own enjoyment, and the rest is sent to her natal family.

Su Dongchen drank his tea and smiled slightly, "Isn't this tea imported? Even the young masters and ladies in our Duke's mansion can't drink it. Uncle Ning's mansion is really rich."

Mrs. Hui Ningbo's forehead dripped with sweat, "This... this... is a gift from my uncle's friend. Usually we are reluctant to eat it, so today I specially took it out to treat my uncle."

"Oh, Mrs. Uncle is interested, thank you." Su Dongchen was quite polite.

In less than half an hour, the person counting the dowry came back, followed by Su Huilan.She saluted Mrs. Huining Bo, then Su Dongchen and Hu Sheng, and then sat aside, silent.

Li Quan stepped forward and said, "My lord, the third aunt's dowry has been checked, and more than half of it is missing. Everything I asked for on my list is gone."

Su Dongchen sat without moving, even the amiable expression on his face didn't seem to change, but everyone felt a chill and couldn't help shaking.

Su Dongchen turned his head to look at Hu Sheng, and said indifferently: "Brother-in-law, what's going on?"

Hu Sheng trembled, faltering, "That... I don't know... I didn't take it..." Su Dongchen's eyes were extremely deep, and just looking at him quietly made him sweat all over his body and his mind went blank. I was so scared that I didn't know what to do.

Su Dongchen glanced at him, then turned his head to look at Madam Huining, and asked coldly, "Is the Madam in the house hosting the ceremony? Excuse me, what's going on here? What about my sister's dowry?"

"This... this..." Mrs. Huining Bo was not a woman with a brain, and she knew that Su Dongchen was very difficult to deceive. At this time, her mind was confused, and she blurted out, "I don't know."

According to the laws of the Northern Jin Dynasty, it is also a crime for a husband’s family to occupy a daughter-in-law’s private property. If it is light, it will be sentenced to several years of hard labor. Now, who would dare to marry their daughter to someone who would snatch their daughter-in-law's dowry?

Apart from Hu Sheng, the eldest son of the eldest son, Hu Ningbo, there are seventeen sons in the three houses. Well, if Hu Sheng's reputation is ruined here, it will not be easy to coax people to marry him in the future.

The corners of Su Dongchen's lips twitched slightly, "Madam is a smart person, she didn't think of coaxing me. Everyone knows this matter well, the things are gone, it's useless to talk about it, let's talk now, how should we solve this matter?" .”

Mrs. Huiningbo nodded quickly as if she was being amnesty, "Yes, yes, you say."

Su Dongchen turned his head and glanced at Li Quan, "How much is the dowry that my aunt lost?"

Li Quan knew what was in his mind, and pretended to flip through the dowry booklet, checked the long list in his hand, took out a small abacus and fiddled with it for a while, and then reported, "There are many things in it that are priceless, and It is an antique with a history of thousands of years, so it is difficult to calculate it, so you have to hire an experienced pawnbroker to enshrine it. The villain roughly estimated that the value of the things lost by my aunt is no less than 15 taels of silver."

"Well, 15 taels." Su Dongchen pondered, "There is a saying in pawnshops, 'Old clothes are half price, and stolen goods are three cents. Ten thousand taels of silver is considered a windfall."

"Exactly." Li Quan bowed, "These things are very eye-catching, and they are definitely not for nothing. Just go to the pawn shops in the city and ask, and you will know what kind of people are going to pawn."

"No." Mrs. Hui Ningbo stopped her voice, then her face turned pale, and she looked at Su Dongchen in horror.

I heard that this person has a nickname in the south called "Su Yanwang", and he is indeed a cruel person.

Su Dongchen looked at Mrs. Huiningbo and smiled, "Since Madam is unwilling, let me not investigate. This matter is tacitly understood by everyone, so there is no need to tear your face. If you want me to let Huiningbo's mansion go, you must Do what I want."

Mrs. Huiningbo was taken aback, then nodded quickly, "Say it."

As soon as Su Dongchen waved his hand, Li Quan and Mother Xiao led a large number of servants out.Mrs. Hui Ningbo also waved her hands quickly, asking her confidant mother to take the maids out.

Only Su Dongchen, Mrs. Huining Bo, Hu Sheng and Su Huilan were left in the room. Su Dongchen calmly said: "Although my younger sister is a concubine, her biological mother and aunt are my mother's most important maid, so my mother likes her very much. She She is a noble daughter of the State Duke's mansion, with golden branches and jade leaves. She married into your Ningbo Mansion, and brought a large dowry. It stands to reason that you should pay her due to offering her as a bodhisattva, but now? Hmph, bullying our country Is there no one in the house?"

His gaze became sharp, and Mrs. Ningbo and Hu Sheng trembled when he saw it.Without waiting for them to argue, Su Dongchen went on to say: "I will give you two choices now, either reconciliation, or my sister will preside over the donation, and all the properties of the Bofu will be handed over to her and she will be in charge. Her dowry, you all Return it to me in a lot of money, and if you don’t have the real thing, you will accompany 15 taels of silver. If you can’t get it at this time, you will write an IOU. Third sister, what do you think?"

Su Huilan was very excited. Hearing his question at this moment, she said impulsively, "I want to make peace."

Hu Sheng turned pale with shock, and shouted, "No, I won't make peace."

Su Dongchen couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore, and kicked him hard, "You trash, you still have the face to say such things in front of me. With your greedy, lustful, filthy shabby hut, To be able to marry the young lady of our An Guogong's mansion is a blessing that has been cultivated for eight lifetimes. You still don't know how to cherish it, but you dare to abuse my sister, pull all the dirty and smelly things on the bed, steal the dowry from your daughter-in-law and go out to make powder, play Actor, you fucking really think that our Duke's mansion is rare for a pervert and idiot like you. Let me tell you, it's not up to you to decide whether to reconcile or not. Only my sister is qualified to make this decision. If she If you want to reconcile, you should immediately write the letter of reconciliation. If she doesn’t want to reconcile, you can take good care of her. All the public property in the mansion and your private property will be handed over to her. And those around you who don’t know the dignity and shame If you dare to touch another woman in the future, I will break one of your legs if you touch it once, two legs if you touch it twice, and three legs if you touch it three times. ,snort."

He spoke more and more harshly, Mrs. Hui Ningbo and Hu Sheng were so frightened that they cried, begging Su Huilan hysterically, and the most talked about were "One day, one hundred days of kindness", and "Think about the face of An Guogong's mansion, Your sister will marry in the future."

"Shut up, you don't need to worry about these things." Su Dongchen sneered, then looked at Su Huilan, his expression softened, "Sanmei, don't worry about other things, just decide according to your heart, everything is with the big brother. It's you If you get divorced, my brother can find you a good husband, which is a thousand times better than this bastard."

Although Su Huilan felt disgusted when she looked at Hu Sheng, no matter whether she reconciled or divorced or died, it was always the woman who was going to be talked about.Even if an unmarried girl divorces, she will bring down the girls in the whole family, let alone get married and divorce again.At present, there are still a few unmarried girls in the Duke Anguo's mansion, and Hu's own daughter is already engaged, but the impact is not big, only those concubine girls will be more difficult.She was a soft-hearted person, after thinking about it, she decided to endure it, and with her eldest brother under her control, the whole family of Huiningbo Manor would never dare to treat her like before.

She made up her mind, looked up at Su Dongchen, and said seriously: "Brother, I think... If they all change, you can take a look again. If it's not going well, I'll leave. I... don't have any capable people around me." My brother, please give me a few, so that I can help me with the housekeeping and dowry. The dowry maid, the mother in charge, and the accompanying room were all... I can't afford to use them, so I ask my brother to take them away. Right. My former maid, Jin Zhu, was forcibly allocated by them to an old concierge in this mansion. In the past two years, she has been beaten and humiliated, and suffered a lot. I want to make the two of them reconcile and leave, and Jin Zhu will come back to be me. The lady in charge around me..." He babbled a lot, they were all capable and loyal people, and it seemed that he really wanted to stay and take charge of the uncle's house.

"Okay." Su Dongchen agreed.As long as she can stand upright, she can live her life well, even a mangy dog ​​like Hu Sheng can be trained to look like a human being.
