Chapter 20
Her expression was cold and stern, and behind her were five burly men, setting the tone. The Liang familyâs eldest and second were not young and relatively stable, but the ninth was a cheeky master. He had the thickest face and the thinnest mouth.
âI say, Uncle-In-Law, although we all know that you made a concubine after my auntâs death, weâre talking about auntâs dowry now. Isnât it a little inappropriate for you to keep talking about this Zhang-something here in place of the Grand Chancellor?â
...
Hearing this, Liu Shimei almost laughed out loud!
This Ninth Brother had won her heart!
Liu Fuyun had no choice but to speak up after being mocked for asking a woman to endorse him. âSo, all of you nephews are here to ask for my late wifeâs dowry?â
As expected of the head of the civil officials, he turned the situation around with one sentence!
⊠His daughter was married, and the dowry was given. After she was gone, the maidenâs family was now here to ask for the dowry? The dowry now belonged to the Liu family, so how could they allow the maiden family to interfere?
The scholarâs aloofness and pride emerged, and he started to look down on the generals.
As the eldest son of the Liang family, Liang Xun said with dignity, âThe Grand Chancellor is too serious. We are not here to ask for Auntâs dowry. However, we heard that our cousin, Emperor Mu Ze, has bestowed a marriage upon her. Now that Aunt has passed away, my mother is worried about cousin Shimei, so she sent us here. If we find anything wrong, my mother will personally come over and support cousin Shimei.â
âItâs not like the Grand Chancellorâs Residence doesnât have a Head Lady!â Liu Yanâer was indeed the one who could not keep her cool.
She had become the target of the cannon fire!
Liang Xun decided to ignore the young lady to avoid lowering his status.
Liang Yi, who was around the same age as Liang Xun, said, âYouâre Second Young Miss Liu, right? Before the Grand Chancellorâs wife died, your mother was only a concubine! Donât tell me, you want my Eldest Aunt â the first wife of the Liang family clan to come and talk to a concubine?â
Madam Ruyiâs maiden family was equal to Madam Ruyi herself. At that time, Madam Zhang was only a concubine. In front of the Liang family, she would always be a concubine!
If the Head Lady of the Liang family came over to the Grand Chancellorâs Residence, Madam Zhang would not even have the qualifications to serve her! Even if she managed to serve the Liang familyâs Head Lady, she would still be a lower class!
Madam Zhang had been a second wife for 11 or 12 years, and this point made her extremely angry. However, she could not refute this logic!
Oneâs birth determined oneâs fate!
âYouâŠâ Liu Yanâer looked at the group of good-looking men, but they were all tall and strong, and each of them had a murderous look on their faces. She did not dare to argue with them, and could only point the arrow at Liu Shimei. âBig Sister is so impressive. Youâve found so many helpers from your maternal grandfatherâs house to come home and make things difficult for Father!â
âThatâs interesting.â Liu Shimei thought that it would be a waste of her brothersâ time to talk to someone like Liu Liu Yanâer, so she naturally continued, âLiu Yanâer, do you remember how you drugged me that night? How you sent me to that alley, how you found a man to ruin my innocence⊠Shall we talk about all of it, so we can verify it?!â
That jade pendant was still in her hands!
The five brothersâ faces instantly turned cold as soon as she said this.
These people had grown up in military camps and had dealt with knives, guns, and sticks for a long time. Their bodies were more or less contaminated with a murderous aura. For their faces to all turn gloomy, it was especially terrifying!
âSister, are you serious?â Liang Yi stepped forward.
Liang Yi was a greasy-looking young man, and he usually liked to smile and goof around all day. However, when he was not smiling, that baleful aura was not any less intimidating than his big brother Liang Xunâs!
Liu Shimei did not say anything. Liu Yanâer was so scared that her face turned pale. She quietly took a step back and argued, âI already said that I didnât do it!â
