The Chronicle of the Rebirth of the First Daughter

Chapter 81 Generous Dowry
"old lady……"

As soon as Liu Mei heard that she wanted to take the family law, she immediately rushed to the old lady, hugged the old lady's leg and cried: "Old lady, help me, the master is going to kill me, old lady, if you don't ask for anything else, I just beg you Since we come from the same family and are connected by the same root, please forgive me, oh, if I want to embarrass Yuechan on purpose, it is naturally very light and there are many methods, there is no chance for her to survive, old lady, I really do Not intentional……"

"old lady……"

Yue'e and Yueting also knelt down and cried bitterly: "The old lady and the master want to beat us, just beat us two. My mother is the mistress of the Meng family. If she gets beaten, how can she have the face to do housework or go out?" .”

The mother and daughter cried bitterly, crying and yelling, it was very miserable, Meng Zhiwen softened his heart, thinking that it was not easy for Liu Mei to follow him all these years, if she really hit her, she would lose face in the future If you go out to meet those noble ladies, the social life of the Meng family will be cut off.

He glanced at the old lady, and wanted to say a few words, but saw that the old lady's face was livid, probably she had already made up her mind to beat Liu Mei.

Meng Zhiwen didn't dare to say more, stomped his feet, and said loudly: "Where are people going to die, hurry up and get the family law."

Yuechan and Haoyu saw that Liu Mei was going to be beaten, they felt a little embarrassed here, they wanted to go up to persuade her, a little unwilling, but they seemed ignorant if they had to go and say a few words.

Haoyu was sweating anxiously, and didn't know what to do, Yuechan still had a way, supported Haoyu's hand with one hand, and put the other hand on his forehead: "Brother, I'm very dizzy, help me quickly ..."

"What's the matter?" Haoyu was in a hurry, holding Yuechan's hand, and pulled her out: "It's a mess here, brother can help you out for a while and you'll be fine."

Although the old lady looked angry, she was also looking around. She had seen Yuechan and Haoyu's actions a long time ago, so she didn't point it out at the moment, but said loudly: "Wen'er, Liu Mei must be severely punished today. Let her know the pain, so she won't act recklessly, otherwise, our Meng family's century-old reputation will be ruined."

Meng Zhiwen nodded solemnly. At this moment, a few strong and healthy women had already brought the board.

Meng Zhiwen pointed at Liu Mei and said loudly, "Tie me up and beat me hard."

Those women responded blankly with blank faces. Two people had already stepped forward and pushed Liu Mei to the ground, and another tied her hands and feet with a rope, and covered her mouth with a cloth. Stop it, a tall, strong woman with a strange complexion and a blue shirt raised a board and hit Liu Mei.

"what……"

As soon as she got down on the board, Liu Mei cried out in pain, feeling ashamed and hated in her heart, the shame was that the old lady didn't show affection, and people beat her in front of the juniors, and the hate was that the master didn't care about the relationship between husband and wife, and only listened to the old lady. As for the wife, she hit her as soon as she said it, and let the most powerful and ruthless mother-in-law of the Meng family beat her.

He even hated Yuechan brother and sister for sneaking out early.

Liu Mei let out a cry of pain, feeling the burning pain on her body, Yue E and Yue Ting were already scared to death, when they saw the board go down, Liu Mei saw blood on her body, the clothes she was wearing today were plain, blood stains Seeing through the clothes is really frightening.

"Mother..." Yue'e rushed over and shouted loudly: "Old lady, please forgive me, if you want to beat me, hit Yue'e, don't hit mother."

Yue'e did have some genuine affection for Liu Mei, and when she saw Liu Mei being beaten, she felt distressed and anxious, so she rushed over and yelled to give Liu Mei a spanking.

This girl, Yue Ting, is not as affectionate as her elder sister. Although she also begged for love, she shrank aside and dared not go over in order not to be beaten. She only looked at the blood stains on Liu Mei and Yue E's body and got angry. She made up her mind that she would not Let Yuechan go.

"Pa, pa..." There were a few slaps from the board, and the sound of hitting the person was crisp and clear, but the sound was so hard that the people who heard it were terrified. Even the two big girls, Jing Jing and Fei Cui, were so frightened that they turned pale and huddled in a corner. Dare not speak out.

The old lady has seen the big world, from sitting up as a grandson and daughter-in-law, to the current position, how can she not have blood on her hands, she climbed up by stepping on other people's corpses, such a small scene is not surprising In a panic, he sat firmly on the spot and watched coldly.

Meng Zhiwen stood aside with his hands shrunk. Although he felt sorry for Liu Mei, he didn't dare to refute the old lady's order, so he was anxious on the sidelines.

At this moment, Liu Mei was beaten so painfully that she lost consciousness, she just shouted desperately: "Madam, please forgive me, master, please forgive me..."

One, two, three, four... I don't know how many slaps were made, but just before Liu Mei was about to faint, the old lady finally said: "Okay, just a few slaps will be enough, how can you be so cruel, if you really want to hit it It's a long and two short, it makes people feel so distressed!"

Listening to such sneering words, Liu Mei hated her so much that she wished to tear the old lady's mouth directly, and swore desperately in her heart that one day, sooner or later, she would definitely come back.

With a word from the old lady, those wives who played board quickly retreated. Yue'e and Yueting rushed forward and called Liu Mei's name. The old lady looked coldly at Liu Mei who was crawling on the ground, and said loudly: "Today is I will teach you some lessons so that you can also remember the family rules and etiquette of our Meng family. You must never be rude again in the future. Also, no matter what method you use, Su's dowry must be returned to Yuechan. Did you hear that? "

After suffering such a big loss, Liu Mei dared to say nothing, she only whispered: "Go back to the old lady, I heard."

The old lady smiled: "That's it. Even if you are injured and it is inconvenient to manage the housework, let Yuechan and Aunt Liu take care of it together. Also, Yue'e is a filial person, so let her help too. .”

The old lady didn't beat Liu Mei to death with a single shot. She wanted to give her some way of life. She was afraid that if all the power was handed over to Yuechan, and if Yuechan refused to accept her, she would have nothing to do. After all, the old lady valued Yuechan's intelligence, but she was also afraid that Yuechan was too intelligent.

Liu Mei gritted her teeth, and responded, Yue'e watched beside her, although she was worried about Liu Mei, but she didn't know why, when she heard that the old lady let her get in touch with the affairs of the house, she was secretly happy, she reluctantly took this She was happy in her heart, but when she turned her head, she didn't see the jealousy in Yue Ting's eyes.

In the main room, Liu Mei was carried back to the house by a few little girls. At Tinglan Pavilion, Yuechan and Haoyu were discussing today's affairs while drinking tea. Will easily return the dowry.

On the contrary, Haoyu had a certain idea in his heart, and smiled at Yuechan: "Sister, I'm afraid you don't know yet, but the three aunts before you entered the palace were found, and they sneered and sarcastic, so that the old lady was not angry. When the illness came, the aunts asked the old lady to return the mother's dowry. I'm afraid they would have threatened them all. In addition, you have got the favor of today. Let the Su family know, who knows what will happen to grandma."

Yuechan nodded and smiled softly: "Brother is talking about, you know, grandfather is very important today, and the three uncles are all powerful ministers in the court, although the Meng family has a deep background, but now In the emperor's heart, I am afraid that they are not as good as the Su family."

While talking, Yuechan thought, the old lady is indeed a judge of the situation, her eyelids are a little more lively, and she will immediately change where it is beneficial.

At first she saw Liu Mei getting close to her, and decided to set Liu Mei upright, but now she saw that Liu Mei was dishonest, and her side was useful, so she started to suppress Liu Mei.

Or when the three of Liu Mei, mother and daughter turned over, they would be more useful to the old lady than they were to themselves, and they might abandon themselves mercilessly.

But be vigilant, don't take it lightly, Liu Mei's fate today may be her fate tomorrow.

Yuechan warned herself secretly, and took another look at Haoyu, seeing Haoyu nodding slightly, she knew that he had the same thoughts as herself, she lowered her head and smiled slightly, covering the sadness in her eyes with her smile.

Liu Mei was beaten and carried back to recuperate. The atmosphere in the house suddenly became quiet. Those servants were careful in what they said and did, for fear of being picked on by some master. The ridicule also dissipated, but it contributed to the tranquility of the Meng Mansion.

A few days later, the old lady sent someone to send a list, and there were many things for Yuechan.

Yuechan looked at the stuff in the Tinglan Pavilion, and suddenly felt a little dizzy, this... this is too much.

Rao Yuechan knew that Su's dowry was rich, but she didn't expect it to be so rich. Looking at the box full of gold, silver, jewellery, silk, satin, and playthings in front of her, she thought about the time when she married into the Fu family in her previous life. The dowry of several thousand taels of silver is really incomparable.

Yuechan lowered her head and sneered, feeling more and more that she was stupid enough in her previous life to be so grateful for Liu Mei's dowry of thousands of silver, she didn't realize how much she coveted her mother.

After being dazed, Yuechan began to take Thrush and Huang Ying to check the items on the list, and also wanted to see what kind of rare things Su's wedding brought.

After walking a few steps forward, Yuechan saw a large mahogany box in front of her. The height of the box was almost up to her waist. It was half as long and locked with a big brass lock. Yuechan stretched out her hand, and Huang Ying offered the key. She squatted in front of the box and unlocked it, and opened the lid forcefully. Suddenly, the contents of the box almost dazzled people's eyes.

The box is divided into compartments, the upper layer is full of small gold and silver lockets, reflecting the sunlight, bright and stimulating people's vision.

Yuechan carefully took off the gold and silver box, put it on the cloth bag at the side, let Thrush count them one by one, took off the compartment, and saw several red or black boxes underneath.

First, I took a red box and opened it. These are some fragmentary jewels, including large south beads, and some small pink beads, plus a few east bead bracelets, and several small beads of various colors. hairpin.

He took another black carved and inlaid gold box and carefully opened it. There were some precious stones inside, large blue crystals, bright rubies, and jade products of extremely high purity. What made Yuechan most happy was that inside At the corners, there are also several large diamonds.

Among so many jewels, Yuechan likes diamonds very much. She likes the clarity and hardness of diamonds. Unfortunately, Dazhao does not produce diamonds, and she does not have decent diamond jewelry. Now that she sees these loose diamonds, she is overjoyed and starts to fantasize Seeing to hold what beautiful jewellery.
