Princess Ancheng sneered:
"The beating of Shen Wanqi was not at my instigation. I am also curious about how he provoked the emperor! To make the emperor so angry... Why does it seem that Mrs. Shen has already concluded that it was me who did it? "
She took two steps forward, forcing Mrs. Shen to retreat continuously: "That day, the emperor's brother came to the Marquis Mansion, and without saying a word, he wanted to drag Shen Wanqi out and chop him down.
"If it weren't for the fact that he is my consort, he would have been dead by now! Is Mrs. Shen here to find fault with me?"
Mrs. Shen was trembling with anger: "You, you... you are sophistry!"
Chu Yanxi sneered: "Hitting him is already a light punishment! Why do you think it's too serious after listening to the old lady's intention? Then do you want me to report back to my brother, Lord Shen, that I am not satisfied with the previous punishment?"
Princess Ancheng said coldly: "There is also the matter of the dowry. I notified the old lady and the Marquis a few months ago. If the old lady wants to find trouble for me, I'd better use another reason."
Shen Wanqi's eyebrows twitched fiercely, and the words "Destroy the Three Clans" instantly appeared in his mind. He hurriedly stepped forward to support Mrs. Shen, and said to Princess Ancheng: "Don't be angry, Yanxi, don't be angry... Let’s talk if we have something to say…”
Mrs. Shen threw away Shen Wanqi's support and said, "Why are you so polite with her? She was the one who insisted on marrying into our Shen family! Why are you so cowardly!"
After hearing this, Princess Ancheng's eyes became even colder. She thought to herself that if she hadn't been blind, how could she have married into a place like this!
"Go ahead and move all of this out."
Mrs. Shen was anxious: "Don't move! Don't move!"
Princess Ancheng sneered: "Why can't I move my dowry?"
Mrs. Shen gritted her teeth: "If you marry into our Shen family, then you are a member of our Shen family. You are our Shen family, so naturally those things also belong to the Shen family!"
When Princess Ancheng heard this, the coldness on her face suddenly dissipated, and she burst out laughing unexpectedly.
"I don't know about Ancheng, but Mrs. Shen actually has objections to the laws set by Emperor Taizu when he founded the country?"
Mrs. Shen was stunned and her face turned pale: "When did I say that!"
Princess Ancheng: "The laws of this dynasty stipulate that when a woman gets married, her dowry belongs to her privately, and her husband's family cannot use it for private purposes..."
Princess Ancheng snorted softly: "Didn't the old lady say that all my dowry belongs to the Hou Mansion? Then do you need me to invite the emperor to come and listen to the old lady talk about her objections to the law?"
"Or invite the Third Division to come and decide in court?"
Shen Wanqi had just been pushed aside by Mrs. Shen and almost fell down. When he heard this, he was as big as two heads. The words "Destroy the Three Clans" echoed in his ears again.
He hurriedly stepped forward: "Yanxi, Yanxi, we have something to talk about. We invite the emperor and the three ministers to do whatever we want. We are a family, so just sit down and talk."
Mrs. Shen was slapped with the big hat of Princess Ancheng, and she knew that she had said something outrageous, so she immediately shut her mouth, but she was still unconvinced in her heart, so what if it was stipulated by the law!
Which family still keeps separate things between husband and wife?
Which wealthy family's wife out there doesn't take the initiative to supplement the family income with her dowry and put it all into the family's property? Who can do what she does? They actually want to divide the dowry!
It’s not embarrassing enough!
If this is done, the Shen family will not be laughed to death!
Mrs. Shen was holding back her anger, but she couldn't curse directly, so she could only hold back and said:
"Wan Qi is right, we are a family, how can we invite outsiders to decide this matter! If you have something to say, please say it. It was my grandmother who was so angry just now that she said something indiscriminately. Don't take it to heart."
Shen Wanqi wiped his sweat and said: "Ancheng, you see grandma has apologized to you. Stop being angry and talk to grandma properly."
Princess Ancheng said expressionlessly: "Why?"
Shen Wanqi was confused: "Why for what?"
"Why should I not be angry after she apologized to me? Isn't it natural for her to apologize if she made a mistake?"
Shen Wanqi: "...Yan Xi, we are all a family, don't be so harsh."
Mrs. Shen gritted her teeth and tried her best not to curse: "Ancheng, what grandma actually means is that you and Wan Qi are husband and wife, so why should you be one.
What's the point of separating things? I heard that you also ordered your servants to divide all the food tax and shop profit money from the Shen family? How can this be done? "
The more Mrs. Shen spoke, the angrier she became, and she could no longer hold it back: "You are doing this to divide the families. What is being divided is yours and Wanqi's family. How can you, as husband and wife, make such a decision!"
Princess Ancheng clicked her tongue: "The food tax and the shop are my dowry, why can't they be separated?
"I also plan to check the account books and take all the past income away from the treasury."
Mrs. Shen's eyes widened immediately, as if she felt that Princess Ancheng's words were too shameless. She turned to look at Shen Wanqi: "Listen, do you think what she said is still human?"
Mrs. Shen gritted her teeth: "You are trying to break up the Shen family!"
Princess Ancheng retorted: "Old madam, how could Ancheng be so capable of disrupting the residence of the dignified Marquis Pingyuan?
I just took the things I brought back to my place for safekeeping. Is it possible that because of this, the Shen family will be separated? Didn’t the Shen family order anything of their own? "
"What's more, when I got married, all the expenses were paid by the emperor's brother. I didn't ask for a single copper from the Hou's Mansion. Even because I lived in the Hou's Mansion, the Emperor's Brother even specially funded the renovation of the house for the Hou's Mansion. , given to servants and maids.”
Mrs. Shen's eyes were filled with anger, but she could not refute Princess Ancheng's words because she was telling the truth!
Princess Ancheng: "Now that I just want to take back my private property, the old lady is so angry. This is really an eye-opener for me. If I had known about today's conversation five years ago, I would definitely not have decided to marry Hou. Come to the government!"
Princess Ancheng's words made Shen Wanqi's heart skip a beat. What did she mean? Didn't she marry herself because she loved herself deeply? How could you say what you said today?
Just because her grandmother wouldn't let her share the dowry, she said she didn't want to marry her...
Shen Wanqi's heart suddenly jumped up and down. Although it could be seen from Chu Yanxi's behavior during this period that she didn't seem to be so obsessed with him, she must still love him!
If she really has no feelings for him at all...
Shen Wanqi didn't dare to think that he relied on Chu Yanxi's love for him to deceive her. If she didn't love him anymore, what would he do in the future? ?
