Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 302
Chapter 302 Who Dares to Touch Me
Just as Mr. Shen finished speaking, the Shen Clan’s guards surrounded the people in unison, brandishing their sabers in their hands in an attempt to scare them away.
When the people saw the saber, they were scared. However, everyone was still looking at Mr. Shen with a faint look of apprehension on their faces.
Yun Xiao allowed Qing Mo to take care of Yun Yao. She went forward to pinch Yun Yao. Seeing this scene, the smile at the corner of her mouth became even more presumptuous.
At this moment, a crisp voice suddenly came from a high place and pierced into everyone’s hearts. “I didn’t expect that I came at the right time to watch such a lively scene. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a good show.”
Everyone looked in the direction where the voice came from. They saw a child wearing a light green robe sitting on the wall. He was playing with a shaw in his hand. His delicate face was pink and tender, but his eyebrows were full of ridicule.
Zhou Jingxu saw that everyone was looking at him, so he jumped down from the wall and walked over casually. He looked at the guards who were holding the saber hilt and commanded the civilians with a smile that was not a smile. “Lord Shen, don’t you let someone put down the saber?”
Seeing that it was the Ninth Prince, Mr. Shen’s expression became even more embarrassed. He did not expect the Ninth Prince to actually come here as well. He immediately bowed respectfully to the Ninth Prince and said, “Greetings to His Highness the Ninth Prince.”
However, Zhou Jingxu did not look at Mr. Shen this time. He only had a stern expression on his face, and his expression became even colder.
When Lord Shen saw this, he could only wave his hand and let the guards release the civilians.
The people didn’t expect to see the Ninth Prince. They all knelt down to Zhou Jingxu, their messy voices filled with apprehension. “The grass dwellers greeted His Highness the Ninth Prince.”
Zhou Jingxu stretched out his hand to get all those people up before he said, “People, the royal family will definitely not tolerate what happened today. Please rest assured. However, it is indeed inappropriate for you to rush into the Shen Clan like this. I hope you can quickly retreat.”
With the prince’s words, at this time, how could the people not dare to obey?
Therefore, after kowtowing to Zhou Jingxu, he walked out.
Zhou Jingxu looked at Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen after everyone left. Seeing Mrs. Shen crying non-stop, he frowned, “Mrs. Shen wants to cry, is it the wrong place to cry?”
Mrs. Shen’s face was slightly pale, and her crying stopped abruptly. She looked at Zhou Jingxu in confusion.
Zhou Jingxu’s lips curled into a faint evil smile. “Madam Shen, the eldest young master of the Shen Clan is gone. Shouldn’t you go visit him first? Besides, if you hadn’t been causing trouble here all this time, you would definitely be able to see the eldest young master of the Shen Clan for the last time. What a pity now!”
Madam Shen’s face instantly became extremely embarrassed. Her expression was slightly pale, and the corner of her mouth unconsciously trembled.
When Lord Shen saw this, he felt that the face of the Shen Clan had been completely lost by Madam Shen. He coldly snorted and instructed the maidservant to bring Madam Shen back to the courtyard. He said to Zhou Jingxu, “I wonder if His Highness the Ninth Prince has come, but what is the matter?”
“I just heard people say that the Shen Clan is very lively today, so I followed them out of curiosity. The Mr. Shen Clan is really lively today. However, I’m curious now, how does Mr. Shen want to solve this matter?” Zhou Jingxu spoke with ease, and his face was filled with a trace of a smile. The smile at the corner of his mouth became even more intense, and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly. “I heard that Mr. Shen handled things fairly. Since that’s the case, I have to properly learn from Mr. Shen today.”
Master Shen’s face turned green and white. The hands on both sides of the wide sleeve clenched tightly. Calm yourself down, He said coldly, “Since Yun Yao hasn’t written her divorce papers yet, That Yun Yao is still my Shen Clan’s daughter-in-law, “I have never seen Yun Yao’s dowry. However, since Yun Yao wants to marry her, our Shen Clan will buy her a dowry one by one according to her list. I wonder if the two Yun Clan girls and His Highness the Ninth Prince were ever satisfied with it.”
“No, I don’t agree with this!” Yun Yao, who had just woken up, happened to hear this and immediately expressed her attitude.
Yun Xiao slowly helped Yun Yao up and comforted her softly, “Third sister, if you have something to say, don’t hurt your body.”
Master Shen did not expect that he had already made such a concession. Yun Yao actually did not know what was good for her. She snorted coldly, “Then according to your wishes, what do you want to do?”
Speaking of which, it was also a joke. Their Shen Clan had married a daughter-in-law, but before they could even drink a mouthful of the tea that their daughter-in-law had made, they had already caused the Shen Clan to be in a state of turmoil.
If he knew that this would be the case, he would not have let Madam Shen decide to marry the daughter of the Yun Family and treat the dead horse as a living horse doctor to treat Shen Yingfan.
Yun Yao took a few deep breaths and sneered, “Mr. Shen, when I said I was going to write a divorce certificate, Shen Yingfan was still alive, so I didn’t have to widow him. As for my dowry, those are my things. You didn’t give them to me, so I naturally have the right to take my dowry away!” She had indeed made up her mind not to marry, but the meaning behind her unwillingness to remarry was not the same as being forced not to remarry. Therefore, Yun Yao would not bow her head.
Yun Xiao listened to Yun Yao’s words and agreed with her in her heart.
Hearing Yun Yao’s words, Mr. Shen felt that this woman was simply too shameless to say such words.
Back then, this woman had repeatedly said that she wanted to marry Shen Yingfan, and she had even asked Shen Yingfan to retreat from her marriage with Yun Xiao and marry Yun Yao as her main wife.
He felt that although the mother of the Yun Clan’s third young miss was a flat wife, her status was still a bit inferior, so he was only willing to give her a concubine. At that time, the Yun Clan had rushed up to give him a gift and asked Shen Yingfan to marry Yun Yao, but it had only been too long.
This woman actually started to change her mind, and she was even more unwilling to widow her son. Such a woman was simply wolf-hearted!
However, all he remembered was that the Shen Clan was rushing to beg him, so he decided that the people of the Yun Clan had to listen to him and not violate his decision. Therefore, seeing that the people of the Yun Clan wanted to draw a clear line with him at this time, he panicked and hated the Yun Clan even more.
Yun Xiao did not know this, she just looked coldly at everything in front of her.
Zhou Jingxu threw a grateful look at Zhou Jingxu. When Zhou Jingxu saw this, the smile in his eyes became even more intense. This kind of feeling was really good. At least this time, when Wood encountered a difficult problem, he would know to ask him for help. This was a good sign.
Yun Xiao saw Zhou Jingxu smiling like a blooming flower. He frowned slightly. He turned his gaze away. She said loudly, “Mr. Shen, my third sister is right. Besides, you asked the Shen Clan’s Young Master to marry my third sister to celebrate. You didn’t treat my third sister as your Shen Clan’s daughter-in-law at all. You actually coveted my third sister’s dowry. This marriage can be nullified. There is no need for my third sister to be widowed for Shen Yingfan.”
When Lord Shen saw the two of them speak in unison, his anger grew even more intense. He snorted coldly, “I said before, we didn’t touch Yun Yao’s dowry. Everything was a self-directed and self-performed play. No matter what, she will stay behind today to show her filial piety to my son!”
When Yun Yao saw this, she felt a little nervous. But in the blink of an eye, when she saw Yun Xiao encouraging her, Yun Yao also calmed down and snorted coldly, “I’ll see who dares to touch me!”
“Today, I won’t let you leave the manor. Let me see what you can do.” Mr. Shen’s expression was resolute. Right now, the Shen Clan must compensate Yunyao for her dowry. Otherwise, if the Shen Clan wanted to stand firm in the capital, it would be impossible. Rumors could swallow up the Shen Clan.
He was unwilling. He also had a younger son. His younger son was famous throughout the capital, and he would definitely rise to prominence in the future!
However, this time, he was really thinking too much.
Yun Yao first looked at the Yun Clan beside her and said loudly, “I can’t do anything. However, if you insist on forcing me to be filial to Shen Yingfan, I will die here today. I was forced to die by you. At that time, you will not be able to escape!”
Her daughter had been killed by Shen Yingfan, so she would definitely not show filial piety to the murderer who killed her daughter! Even if that person was the man he once liked.
However, now, Yun Yao’s heart’s desire had already been smoothed out by all irrelevant things.
Yun Xiao’s expression was cold, and the corners of her mouth were filled with countless ridicule. “It seems that Mr. Shen really wants to add another person’s life to the Shen Clan’s courtyard? However, in business, since this matter cannot be settled, let’s talk about another matter first.”
After she finished speaking, she took out a red flower note from her bosom and whispered, “It records all the dowry items that my third sister married into the Shen Clan. Since Mr. Shen has already said that these items are to be compensated to my third sister, then please compensate Mr. Shen.”
After she finished speaking, she took a few steps forward and handed the flower note in her hand to Mr. Shen. Mr. Shen originally didn’t want to take it, but he took it for a moment. When he saw the dowry, his face turned green, white, red, and black. His eyes changed back and forth, and he looked extremely beautiful.
“Impossible! How could there be so many?” Master Shen said angrily as he fiercely clenched the flower note into a ball.
Yun Xiao sneered, The smile at the corner of his mouth was like the brightest sunshine, “when my third sister ‘s dowry came out of the manor, But it was all read out one by one, Everyone in the capital knows that if Mr. Shen likes those treasures and is willing to keep them, we in Yun Clan are not willing to force others to do so. We have already calculated that we will convert these dowries into silver. The total amount is 50,000 taels of silver. Now, it depends on whether Mr. Shen is willing to pay or return the items. ”
Fifty thousand taels of silver was not a small sum. Originally, Mr. Shen only thought that Yun Yao’s dowry was only worth ten to twenty thousand taels of silver. They clenched their teeth and compensated. Who would have thought that there would be so much silver? He regretted it so much. He would not have said the words that he wanted to compensate.
“Impossible! How could a normal wife need so many dowries? Fourth Young Lady, don’t humiliate our Shen Clan!” Mr. Shen’s expression was cold, and the coldness at the corner of his mouth almost froze him.
However, Yun Xiao ignored him and only smiled lightly. “How is that impossible? Our Yun Clan only gave the Lan Clan a betrothal gift of 60,000 taels of silver today. Could it be that we can’t give Third Sister 50,000 taels of silver as dowry?”
But how could Mr. Shen admit it? If he admitted it, he would have to pay so much money, unless his brain was really stuck in the door.
Moreover, Mr. Shen thought about everything that had happened today before realizing that this was the trap that Yun Xiao had dug up early in the morning, waiting for their Shen Clan to jump inside!
“Fourth Young Lady, we don’t talk in secret. Tell me honestly, did you arrange things for today?”
Yun Xiao sneered. Her gaze was as cold as ice. The depths of Gu Jingwu’s eyes were filled with countless ridicule. “Master Shen really knows how to joke. I’m just an inner woman. How would I know about this? Master Shen only needs to say if I want to return the money? Or if we are allowed to bring Third Sister back. Don’t say anything else!”
“You!” Mr. Shen’s expression was cold, and he snorted coldly. “Today, unless I die, I won’t let you take Yunyao away!” He said sternly.
