Chapters 16 - 16

When Ji Zhen finished speaking, everyone looked at Old Liu with a look of disbelief, among them Senior Marquis, who had shared a bed with her for many years. Although he knew that the Old Liu had treated her second wife harshly, she never thought that she would actually dare to touch her daughter-in-law's dowry.

But right now, Ji Wen's face was gloomy, the more he listened, the darker his face became, almost to the point of dripping water.

Ji Zhen pointed to the black jade pendant on Old Liu's waist, "That was left to me by my mother, but I saw that she had already worn it since a long time ago. I thought that stepgrandmother only thought that it would look good on her for a few more days, but I never thought that it would be like this for two years, could it be that stepgrandmother thinks that my mother's things belong to this Ji Mansion as well? Or does stepgrandmother feel that as long as it is something from the Ji Mansion, there is nothing that you cannot use? "

"Kneel!" Ji Wen said coldly as he smashed the teacup beside him to the ground.

"Did you not marry her?" Ji Wen looked at Old Liu, who was crying so hard that her face turned white, and felt a wave of disgust in her heart.

Old Liu nodded her head as she cried, but she did not expect Ji Wen to be angrier, so she slapped her lightly, "Since you have a wife, why did you go and touch her dowry! Could our Ji Mansion have mistreated you?! "

Old Liu panicked, "My niece did not use Lin's disease's dowry."

Ji Wen glanced at the black jade pendant on Old Liu's waist, but did not expect the Old Liu to cry and say, "My niece only saw that jade pendant well, and thought of it, what's wrong with others saying that jade nurtures people, that a person nurtures jade, and that my daughter-in-law raised the jade before giving it to Zhen Er?"

No one would have thought that the Old Liu would be so pathetic, to say nothing of Ji Wen who rarely came into contact with the backyard, they were all stunned.

"So you took it?" Ji Zhen stood at the side and asked Old Liu in return without even raising her head.

Old Liu's face was slightly red, she was unable to say a word, but she immediately became anxious.

Seeing Li Da who was walking in from the entrance, Ji Zhen felt relieved in her heart. If she let Old Liu escape today, it would be difficult to hold onto her again, "Since this is the case, then Zhen Er can forget about it. It's just that Zhen Er does not understand, why would my mother's shop be sold out? With the account book in stepgrandmother's hands, no one would dare to make such a decision without the stepgrandmother's permission, right? "

Old Liu was immediately stupefied by Ji Zhen, her eyes continued to look away, she did not understand why Ji Zhen did not leave the house, how did she know about this, but looking at the situation, she could only pretend that she did not know.

"The previous Zhen Er sent someone to see the state of my mother's shop, but she never thought that the shop on Pearl Jade Street would actually be sold!" Ji Zhen handed the list over to Ji Wen. After Ji Wen finished reading it, he slammed the table in anger and handed it over to Ji Quan: "Look at the dirty things happening in your backyard!"

This time, Old Liu was truly troubled and uneasy. Especially the way Ji Wen and Senior Marquis looked at her, it was as if they were looking at a dead person.

Ji Wen sneered, "If it weren't for the fact that you have children for all of them, I would have ordered someone to bathe you in a pig cage today!"

"Master, master, you can't listen to Ji Zhen's one-sided story. Lin's disease's dowry has always been carefully taken care of, how could she possibly sell it!" The Old Liu raised her head and looked at Ji Quan unhappily, as though she was unconvinced of her decision.

Ji Zhen sneered, "Does stepgrandmother think that Zhen Er is joking? As for Li Da, tell the matter to the stepgrandmother. "

"Yes, Miss." Li Da first bowed to Ji Zhen, then turned and bowed to Ji Quan and the others, "This little Li Da greets marquis."

"Who are you? "How would you know that the eldest wife married and sold, tell me in detail." Ji Quan glanced at Old Liu who was kneeling on the ground, upon seeing Li Da bringing the people behind into the room, her complexion immediately turned pale white, causing Ji Quan to inwardly sigh. It really was the backyard's case, the water was extremely deep.

"This one is in charge of purchasing the courtyard of the Great Miss. The previous Miss had ordered this one to investigate the shop on Pearl Jade Street, but unexpectedly found out that the shop was about to open, so this one hurriedly brought this one to report to the Miss." After Li Da finished speaking, he turned around and revealed the person behind him, "I am also bringing the shopkeeper over."

"You can explain in detail what happened to the shop." Ji Quan looked at the shopkeeper below the hall and kept on feeling that he was familiar with the place.

"This old servant Lin Bei, under the orders of the patriarch, was responsible for the management of the wedding shop in First Lady. Before First Lady left, he gave all the marriages to Miss Zhen Er, and after that the marquis sent people to take over all the shops, this old servant only took care of this shop. marquis, on account of First Lady's face, please do not ill-treat Miss. " Lin Bei's words made Ji Quan's face flush red.

Although Lin Bei was considered to be the Lin's disease's servant, the indenture contract was in the Lin Mansion's hands. If Lin Bei were to report this matter to the Lin Mansion, the Lin Mansion would not let this matter rest. Thinking to this point, Ji Quan looked at the kneeling Old Liu, and snorted coldly.

"What do you mean by that, Shopkeeper Lin? Zhen Er is the Great Miss of our Pingbei Mansion, so why would we treat her so harshly? We will handle this matter well, but we don't need our family's humiliation to be made public, so please do not inform marquis Lin about this matter." Ji Wen was too young and he had never bowed and bent his knees to a servant before. However, if the Lin Mansion were to find out about this now, it would probably cause the entire city to know about it.

"In the future, old master will return to the manor. If this matter is not resolved by then, not to mention this old servant, old master will know as well. marquis Ji naturally knows my master's temper." Lin Bei bowed and stood behind Ji Zhen.

"Hurry up and take out the account book! My Hou Mansion's face has been completely thrown away by you today! "

Hearing Ji Quan's words, Old Liu's entire body went limp on the ground, looked at Wang mama at the side, and said, "Go and get the account book."

She hadn't thought that the item she had held in her hand for almost ten years would one day be handed over. Fortunately, he had been very careful during that time. He had lived a peaceful life for too long and had forgotten that the change in the backyard was originally a day's work.

Old Liu was half-propping herself up on the ground, her eyes were filled with tears, as she looked at Ji Zhen with a wronged expression, "Zhen Er, Grandmother truly treats you well, why don't you trust Grandmother?"

When Ji Zhen saw Wang mama take out the account book, a glint flashed across her eyes. There's something wrong with the account book! As expected of the person who could control the backyard for dozens of years. His thoughts were indeed incomparable to those of ordinary people.

"marquis, I was wrongly accused. I did not know why the shop was sold, all of these years, I have been carefully managing the dowry that the Lin's disease left behind, and I never thought that I would hand it over to Zhen Er one day."

Before he finished speaking, Old Liu began crying.
