Chapter 272:

Tang Lihua was surprised, "It seems that your son hasn't told you yet, so the mother-in-law should ask about this first, so as not to discuss the matter with you and waste my time."
Old Mrs. Xie's brows were tightly furrowed, and her heart pounded just as she heard the Tang mentioning the dowry.
I was even more upset about why I had to go this way, what kind of illness did the Tang come back, and how did he mention the dowry for no reason.
Those who arrived early in Mrs. Xie's own private library, except for the spending of these years, the rest is for grandson.
Since the old lady Xie took Tang Lihua's dowry excuse into her hands, she had never thought of returning it.
So at this time Tang Lihua mentioned the dowry, she was so guilty.
"Hmph, I don't know what you are talking about. Once you have come back, you must keep your duty and keep your own self. If our Xie family can't afford to have an unruly daughter-in-law like you." Old lady Xie was stern and moved quickly. The topic, even the words that I wanted to reprimand before have forgotten.
Now Mrs. Xie didn't want to stay here for a moment. For fear that Tang Lihua would continue to ask about the dowry, she hurriedly dropped a sentence and turned away.
Tang Lihua didn't stop her, she just smiled and watched her leave her back, with a meaningful expression on her face.
Old lady Xie was flustered and walked fast along the way, until Xie Yirou didn't even ask.
When she returned to her yard, Mrs. Xie calmed down.
She waved back all the servants in the house, only the wife was left.
Mrs. Xie was a little impatient, and her face was not very pretty.
Madam Yu looked at the old lady's expression and kept silent.
She has been with the old lady for so long, of course she knows about her dowry.
You must know that when the wife married in, the dowry opened her eyes.
The old lady was also moved, but at that time there were more scruples. After the lady gave birth to children, the master completely coldly treated the lady.
The old lady was too busy to take care of the children through his wife. For this far-fetched reason, she just carried her dowry to her private treasury.
At the beginning, the old lady was a little jealous, after all, there was the Tang family behind her, and Father Tang was still a scholar.
However, after the wife went back to her natal house a few times, there was no movement. The old lady knew the wife's temperament and used her dowry without fear.
Now that the dowry is mentioned suddenly, it is no wonder the old lady is panicking.
Madam Yu lowered her head to hide all the expressions on her face.
The room fell into unspeakable silence for a while. After a long time, Mrs. Xie suddenly knocked on the ground with a cane.
"What does Tang mean? He wants to threaten me without success? What dowry was mentioned to me at this time? This is a trip back to my natal family, and I have become more capable?!"
Madam Yu did not dare to say that she was just taking her own things back. She could only be relieved, "The old lady calmed down, and the old slave heard that the lady mentioned the master. Could it be that she had said something to the master? If the old lady asked the master, she was kind A bit count?"
Mrs. Xie snorted coldly, "Don't ask more, what is her dowry to do with me? I want to see if Tang has the courage, come to me for it!"
Madam Yu felt that the old lady still hadn't seen the current situation clearly. The lady had just such an attitude, and she also brought these people from Tang Mansion.
I am afraid that after she has been there, the Tang family already knows something.
Otherwise, why let the wife take these people back to Xie's house, there must be something wrong with it.
Madam Yu could see it clearly. Although she thought so in her heart, she didn't say anything in the end. It is better to do more than to do less. This is all between the master and what to do with her.
Zuo But the old lady Xie has made up her mind now, she just refuses to admit the dowry. She is an elder, so what can the Tang family do to her.
It's just that Mrs. Xie's idea of ​​having dinner with her son at night was shattered.
At night, Mrs. Xie rarely received a letter from the front yard, saying that Xie Yuan was coming to accompany her for dinner.
With more energy in my heart, I asked the kitchen to prepare more good dishes, and didn't even think about calling Tang Lihua.
Mother, son and son are sitting on both sides, and eat.
Mrs. Xie has no rule of not being silent, she just happens to have a lot of things to ask her son.
"Have you ever questioned the people Tang family brought back today?"
Xie Yuan heard the words, the chopsticks holding the dishes paused for a moment, and then if nothing had happened, "How can my mother care about this?"
When the old lady Xie talked about Tang Lihua, her heart became angry, "This is the Xie Mansion. The servants she brought will all use silver in the future. How can I not care."
When Xie Yuan heard his mother mention the silver, he simply put down his chopsticks and said what he came for today, "Mother, you keep the dowry of Tang's?"
Mrs. Xie was shocked. She didn't understand why her son mentioned this suddenly, but she always had a bad feeling.
She dodges her gaze subconsciously, and frantically pulls out a reason, "Tang's dowry is not in her own hands, you ask me what I am doing."
It's just that Mrs. Xie's reason is too untenable. Although Xie Yuan doesn't care about the backyard, he still knows it.
When his mother took away Tang Lihua's dowry, someone in charge came to tell Xie Yuan, but Xie Yuan didn't take it seriously.
"Mother should sort out the Tang family's dowry as soon as possible." Xie Yuan frowned slightly, Tang Lihua said, and only gave him two days to return the dowry, or go directly to the Tang family.
Regarding the rumors in Jingzhong, she will not care about it anymore, and will even just leave.
In Xie Yuan's view, Tang's dowry is no better than his own reputation, so he was a little dissatisfied with his mother's refusal.
Mrs. Xie slapped the chopsticks in her hand on the table ‘pop’, she lost her thoughts of pretending and glared at her son.
"What do you say, where is the dowry in my hand, the food used up and down in the mansion these years, as well as the management of your officialdom, An'er's studies, and the communication between classmates, all of which use money. , Now you ask me for a dowry, and it depends on whether I can get it."
Xie Yuan's eyes were dark, "My salary has been handed over to my mother, so where can the flowers in the house be used for so much silver?"
The old lady Xie was about to sneer, and she said, "You are just a little salary, and the salary in January is worth the clothes on your body. Take it from Tang’s dowry. The dowry shop she came to dowry has a lot of money every year."
"If you return the dowry, you will not be able to withstand the expenses of this mansion alone. You said it was easy, but you have thought about the consequences."
What the old lady Xie said was the truth. This is also why she would rather give up her old face than admit that she had taken the Tang family dowry.
Xie Yuan really didn't know this. He actually used Tang's dowry for his daily meals. When Tang Shi talked about the dowry, he didn't care, but now he heard what his mother said. He felt that things were in trouble.
Since Tang Lihua had brought so many people back, she definitely didn't want to let go, but her mother's words also made sense. For a while, Xie Yuan became a little embarrassed.
After the fire broke out, Mrs. Xie's tone softened as she looked at her son's embarrassment, "It's all a family, and the dowry is no different in my hands. Why do you listen to Tang's words."
Xie Yuan didn't want to listen, but the clarification of rumors in Beijing still had to rely on the Tang family, and he was helpless.
No, I had to tell Tang's request to his mother. Not surprisingly, Mrs. Xie was so angry that she ascended to heaven again.
She didn't expect the Tang family to become so unreasonable, "It's really the opposite, she dare?!"
Now what is the use of saying these? Xie Yuan has gone through these few things and is absolutely sure that Tang Lihua really dares.
And Xie Yuan has a hunch that if the two-day period arrives, Tang Lihua will leave on the spot if she hasn't got her dowry.
Then a letter and leave book will be sent.
At that time, he will really become what the rumors say, and he and the Xie family will also become a joke in Beijing.
Xie Yuan's expression turned gloomy when he thought of the consequences.
After thinking for a while, Xie Yuan still made a decision, "Mother, put all the remaining dowry and shop together."
Mrs. Xie looked at her son in disbelief, wondering why he was threatened by the Tang Clan so simply.
Now if I want Mrs. Xie to spit out the fat that I have swallowed in her belly, it is simply gouging her heart.
"No, I will never take it out,"
Xie Yuan stared at Mrs. Xie, thinking that she was really an ignorant woman, and couldn't tell the pros and cons.
He also stood up and said with a cold face, "If my mother wants me to be discredited and can't go out to see people anymore, please do what you want."
After that, he left directly, leaving only the old lady Xie standing in place and jumping.
Mrs. Yu stepped forward to comfort her again.
This was a hard meal, and it was so unhappy.
After this quarrel, Mrs. Xie's headaches and her spirits are much worse.
This night, Mrs. Xie didn't sleep well, she was suffering in her heart, always thinking about Xie Yuan's words last night, struggling in her heart.
On one side is the silver, on the other is the reputation of the son and Xie's house, both of which are extremely important.
How could she choose.
At dawn the next day, Mrs. Xie got up, and Mrs. Yu raised the curtains. She was shocked when she saw the old lady's sluggishness.
"The old lady didn't sleep well last night, so she didn't call her old slaves, and my mother gave you soothing soup early."
Old lady Xie waved her hand, her headache was terrible.
Mrs. Yu asked the maid to ask the doctor, and she was busy doing everything herself.
After the doctor saw it, he urged him not to get angry anymore.
After a busy meal in the yard, Mrs. Yu used soup to serve the old lady.
"What do you say to me?" Mrs. Xie, who was half leaning on the bed, suddenly said.
Madam Yu was shocked, and she quickly realized what the old lady was talking about, but she didn't know what to do when asked about it.
Thinking about it in her heart, Mrs. Yu wanted to break her head, and she really made her come up with a tricky way.
"From the perspective of the old slave, this matter has to let the lady soften first. The lady is not kind to you and the master, why don't you let the son talk about it?"
Mrs. Yu just said casually, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Xie immediately lifted her spirits up after hearing it, and her eyes lit up.
Mrs. Xie clapped her palms, "Yes, I didn't expect this."
"Ms. Yu, go and invite the eldest son over, and said that I have something to discuss with him." Mrs. Xie ordered immediately.
Madam Yu was silent for a moment, how could she feel that she had said something wrong.
