Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

What?

Check the bills, take stock of the dowry, and take back everything they've given them over the years?

How can this be allowed?

Liu Xueyan and her daughter were the first to change their expressions.

A fierce glint flashed in the old lady's eyes: "Shangguan Tang, how dare you!"

"Heavens! Grandmother, you're not going to openly seize Mother's dowry, are you?"

You come from a distinguished family of the previous dynasty, and your ancestors included famous and virtuous officials. You often speak of propriety, righteousness, integrity, and a sense of shame; surely you don't just pay lip service to these principles?

Seeing the old lady's face grow increasingly grim, a hint of a smile flashed in Ying Yufu's eyes.

"Grandmother, you will definitely realize your mistake and correct it, and you will never make the same mistake again by forcibly taking my mother's dowry, right?"

Ying Yufu said loudly.

"Return the dowry immediately!"

"Give it back! Give it back!"

The crowd started making a fuss again.

Throughout history, whether in rural villages or aristocratic families, people have always been fond of gossip.

As the old lady listened to the clamor of the crowd, her vision blurred, and finally, she lost her balance in anger and fell backward.

"grandmother!"

Ying Hengzhi helped the old lady up.

She looked up at Ying Yufu with a reproachful expression: "Second sister, Grandmother has fainted. Stop making a scene and come quickly to take care of Grandmother."

You wouldn't want people to misunderstand you as unfilial, would you?

Ying Yufu said in surprise, "How could that be? I think we should call the royal physician first. If I go there, at most I'll kneel and wipe away my tears. What if people misunderstand and think I'm wailing at a funeral? That would be so unlucky!"

Ying Hengzhi: ?!

She looked at Ying Yufu in disbelief.

Is this sharp-tongued person really still the easy-going second sister?

She didn't care; she was determined to make Ying Yufu behave today.

She then said, "Second sister, do you really value gold and silver more than your grandmother's life?"

"Elder sister, what you're saying is wrong. How can Grandmother's life be compared to money?"

I think my grandmother's life is priceless. What, do you think my grandmother's life should be measured in money?

I really didn't expect that you, my dear sister, would be this kind of person. It's a shame that Grandma always doted on you so much...

As Ying Yufu spoke, she looked at Ying Hengzhi with a disappointed expression.

Ying Hengzhi's eyes widened. "No, that's not what I meant, Second Sister! How could you twist my words?"

"Alright, I understand, big sister. There's nothing wrong with loving money."

After all, aren't all the finest silks, satins, jewelry, and headdresses you wear the best of everything?

The golden butterfly hairpin you're wearing right now costs five hundred taels of silver.

Your entire outfit must have cost at least two thousand taels of silver.

This is just the cost of your current outfit. If you include all the expenses for clothes, jewelry, food, and drinks throughout the year, it would easily cost at least 20,000 taels a year.

With such exorbitant expenses, it's no wonder you value money more than your grandmother's life.

Ying Hengzhi trembled with anger.

How could she lie through her teeth?

Is that what she meant?

Liu Xueyan's expression also changed, and she looked at Ying Yufu with a more wary gaze.

But at the same time, Ying Yufu's words also reminded her.

If it weren't for Shangguan Tang's dowry, the Hou family would have been in dire straits long ago.

Not to mention they are able to live the life they have now.

We absolutely cannot let Shangguan Tang and Ying Yufu take back their dowry.

Over the years, they have become accustomed to a life of luxury. If they really go back, what will they spend?

All of Shangguan Tang's dowry belonged to her.

Shangguan Tang is a person who is about to die, what right does she have to take all her things?

Those all belong to Liu Xueyan!

But Ying Yufu seemed to have anticipated their little scheme and had already given the Flying Tiger Army a meaningful look.

At this moment, the Flying Tiger Army had entered the Marquis's residence and, under the guidance of Shihua Shishu, as well as Granny Zeng and Granny Huang, began to count and verify Shangguan Tang's dowry.

When Shangguan Tang married into the Marquis's mansion, the procession was incredibly grand, with her dowry chest stretching from the west to the east of the city. Half a day passed, and the dowry chests were still nowhere to be seen.

Finally, it took from morning till night to carry them all.

The Duke of Zhenguo's mansion doted on this only daughter. As the head of the Mu family and the richest family in Jiangnan, the old lady gave most of her assets to Shangguan Tang.

Not to mention the real gold and silver, there were several boxes of silver notes and gold notes alone.

This doesn't even include farmland, shops, land deeds, mines, etc.

In addition, there are countless antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and rare and precious treasures.

It wouldn't be easy to count and move a thousand Flying Tigers soldiers in a single day.

So they went to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion and summoned three or four hundred servants, guards, accountants, stewards, and the like.

In the blink of an eye, the Marquis of Weiyuan's residence was completely controlled by the Flying Tiger Army.

After they checked and counted each item, they carried it out one by one.

Many people still vividly remember the magnificent scene when Shangguan Tang got married, and are filled with envy.

Now, they once again witnessed firsthand the magnificence of Shangguan Tang's dowry.

Shangguan Tang said directly, "These dowries were originally given to me by my parents out of love and care, as a means for me to establish myself."

But she was unexpectedly tricked and forcibly taken by her husband's family.

"In that case, I wish to offer Your Majesty two million taels of silver and two hundred thousand taels of gold."

Upon hearing this, the onlookers immediately cheered, praising Shangguan Tang for her righteousness and deserving of the title of a heroine's daughter.

However, Liu Xueyan and her daughter's expressions changed drastically.

That bitch Shangguan Tang, how dare she!

Those all belong to them!

Shangguan Tang glanced at their unpleasant expressions, sneered, and said, "Besides that, I also have a five-hundred-year-old wild ginseng that I wish to offer to Your Majesty."

Liu Xueyan's face turned pale instantly.

Just then, Yu Li, her face as cold as ice, walked over carrying a white jade box.

"Sister, this is the five-hundred-year-old wild ginseng, but two of its roots have been cut off."

"What?"

Shangguan Tang's expression suddenly changed.

"Where was the item found?" Shangguan Tang asked.

Yu Li said, "It was found in a courtyard called Cuiwei Garden."

With a frosty expression, Shangguan Tang walked up to Liu Xueyan, raised his arm, and slapped her hard across the face.

A red, swollen five-finger mark immediately appeared on Liu Xueyan's cheek.

Liu Xueyan felt a buzzing in her ears.

"You touched my things without my permission! Those were meant to be presented to His Majesty, and you actually ate them! Sister-in-law, don't you even know if you're worthy?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she slapped him again.

This time, the blow landed on Liu Xueyan's other cheek.

Liu Xueyan's face instantly became symmetrical.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully proven someone wrong! System reward: 30 points!]

Ying Yufu was shocked.

[Little Dian, what's going on? Why are you awarding points? Is Liu Xueyan's face that valuable?]

【Host, the fight you had with your mother today is a long-awaited turnaround.】

This means you are no longer under the control of your scumbag father and his family, which is a very meaningful action.

Ying Yufu understood, and her heart leaped with joy. It turned out that as long as she participated, even if it was her own family members slapping her enemies in the face, she could still get points.

At the same time, Liu Xueyan's head was buzzing; she was completely stunned by the beating.

She had never been hit like this before in all these years.

Moreover, Shangguan Tang had always treated her with the utmost respect and always yielded to her. She never imagined that Shangguan Tang would dare to hit her!

"mother!"

Upon seeing this, Ying Hengzhi disregarded the unconscious old lady and hurriedly went towards Liu Xueyan.

Ying Nanyao strode forward, shielding Liu Xueyan behind him, his eyes filled with a dark and angry rage, "Shangguan Tang, you've gone too far! You even dare to hit your elder sister-in-law!"

Shangguan Tang sneered, "So what if I hit him?"

Ying Hengzhi also took the opportunity to criticize, "Second Aunt, so what if my mother touched that wild ginseng?"

She's pregnant and had a miscarriage scare; she only ate two ginseng roots. Is it really that big of a deal for you?"

Snapped!

clap clap!

Shangguan Tang showed no mercy, slapping her three times in quick succession with both hands.

Ying Hengzhi's delicate and petite face immediately swelled up.

"Ying Hengzhi, you eat my food and wear my clothes, yet you still treat me disrespectfully. Today, your second aunt will teach you a lesson in gratitude!"
