Queen of flowers - Chapter 35

Aunt Xiao quickly said, “My madam said that only a few ancestral valuable gifts were to be returned, and the rest of the gifts and the silvers were the compensation for your family. You, a daughter of a sinner, did not succeed to climb by this wedding, now made such a farce, what do you want? “

Yong Ruo looked at her and smiled ironically. This Aunt Xiao could really speak!

Customs at that time: If the man wanted to cancel the marriage, the marriage gift must be left to the woman for compensation; if the woman wanted to remarry, not only was the marriage gift to be returned but also a sum of money had to be paid to the man as compensation.

Now, it was the Yang family who wanted to cancel it, so it was reasonable to say that those gifts must be left for her.

If they wished to “get a few valuable gifts back,” they couldn’t make up a reason. In addition, the gap between the two was even wider.

But the “precious gift” that the Yang family had to take back, had become “a precious gift of the ancestors.” If it became “ancestral,” naturally, it had to be taken back. Otherwise, it would become unfilial.

Although still unreasonable, it was extenuating!

She also used sensitive words such as “daughter of sinners” and “big fortune” to divert everyone’s attention, intentionally but vaguely confusing right from wrong. If she didn’t let go, did she want to slander the Yong family for “concealing the identity of the sinner to deceive the marriage then also trap the matchmaker Aunt Gu?’

After all, when Gu Aunt explained their situation, it wasn’t spoken in public. If Yang’s family denied and said that she had concealed such facts from them because they were greedy, she would have no choice.

She was indeed the housekeeper of a wealthy family! This deceptive way of turning things upside-down, turning black into white, was great!

If it wasn’t for the “waiting to get married to another person,” it was too shameless and untenable, wouldn’t Aunti Xiao still want to buckle the pot of “betraying her faith” on Yong’s head?

After listening to Aunt Xiao’s words, Aunt Qin mother exchanged glances with the others and did not speak.

The two nosy women were stunned and looked at Yong Ruo enviously and murmured, “Yeah! Who would want a sinner’s daughter?”

“With such a large sum Dowry, what kind of person can’t you marry in the future? It’s not good to be too greedy! “

Yong Ruo took a deep breath, and said forcefully, “Aunt Xiao is wrong! Now that you want to withdraw, you have to withdraw cleanly! No matter what the courteous gift or compensation is, I will not ask for money!”

Although it was a human custom for the withdrawn party to compensate the other one, if the other party was unwilling to accept the compensation, it was also their decision, and they cannot be blamed.

Aunt Qin and her daughter in law raised their eyebrows and looked at Yong Ruo in surprise.

The two women looked at Yong Ruo as if looking at a lunatic!

Yong Ruo realized that they did not want to defame the Yang’s family in public. Aunt Xiao quietly breathed a sigh of relief, pretending to persuade, “Girl, your family is in such a state. It is better to accept this compensation! Your mother is still sick! You always need money to ask the doctor to take medicine. The three of you, sister and brothers, also need to marry …”

Yong Ruo said faintly, “Since we got rid of the marriage, Madam Xiao shouldn’t bother about such things!”

She asked Yong Qiao to move all the gifts to the yard.

Gifts, cake, seafood, animals, fruits, linseed tea ceremony, and so on. The two sets of complex and gorgeous headwear. The grand and delicate red gold and silk cloth. A few pairs of dragon and phoenix bracelets, a dozen pairs of rings, simply blinded the eyes of Mopan Hutong’s dry and poor people!

The six hundred and twenty silver and twenty-three official ingots were neatly arranged in two large squares with velvet.

In the missing corner, there was some broken silver.

Yong Ruo read the offer list and bills in public, and gave them to Aunt Xiao, explaining why the official ingot was broken, what purpose it was used for, and finally wrote a list. On the receipt, she let Aunt Xiao add her handprint.

Aunt Xiao was also literate. When she read the paper, there was nothing to worry about, so she pressed her handprint and left with everything.

The daughter-in-law of the Qin family comforted Yong Ruo and returned to her home.

The two nosy women watched the silver and gold and silver jewelry carried out of Yong’s house without a drop, and said that Yong Ruo was stupid! So many silvers, so many golden jewels, she pushed it out! When they gossiped with each other, the word stayed around for a while!
