Chapter 129 This is none of your business.
Ye Qingwu lowered her eyes, feeling that there were some details she had overlooked. Why would the man in black write down both her and Ye Qingzhu's names through the prayer beads? There were too many illogical things about it.
Or is it that neither Ye Qingzhu's rebirth nor her transmigration into the book was accidental, but a conspiracy set up by someone?
Thinking of this, Ye Qingwu felt a little heavy-hearted. If that were the case, the plot of the book would be disrupted, and she wouldn't even know who was in charge of it all. She would have no choice but to continue digging deeper.
And then there's her space; with each upgrade, something different appears. Are there other secrets hidden behind those unexplored aspects?
Only by clarifying all these matters can we delve into the full truth.
And the other side.
As soon as Jiang Wenjin returned to the mansion, a maid rushed up to him, looking anxious, and said, "Young Master, please go to the storeroom quickly. Madam and Old Madam are arguing."
Hearing this, Jiang Wen sighed helplessly, "They're always like this, they'll be fine in a bit."
Seeing that Jiang Wenjin did not intend to leave immediately, the maid became even more anxious. "Young master, this time is different. I heard from the madam that the old madam seems to have touched some of her dowry, and there is even a tendency for her to take action."
"Dowry?" Jiang Wenjin's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad feeling. He had been wondering why his mother had given him money these past two days. Could it be that the money came from Ye Qingzhu's dowry?
Realizing this, Jiang Wenjin immediately felt something was wrong. Based on his understanding of Ye Qingzhu, this woman would never let it go.
Outside the warehouse.
Ye Qingzhu blocked Wang's way out, glaring at her fiercely, "You old hag, let me tell you, if you don't give me an explanation today, you're not leaving!"
Wang was initially somewhat guilty about the dowry, but upon hearing Ye Qingzhu's words, her anger flared up.
"Ye Qingzhu, you're still my mother-in-law. So what if she used a little of your money? Don't go too far!"
"What mother-in-law?" Ye Qingzhu sneered. "If it weren't for Jiang Wenjin's sake, I would have already sent someone to report you to the authorities. You would be in jail by now."
"Either return the lost dowry today, or you are at my mercy!"
Seeing Ye Qingzhu approaching step by step, Madam Wang was a little scared and shouted angrily at the maids she had brought, "What are you all standing there for? Stop her right now!"
"Don't forget, I am the matriarch of this household!"
Ye Qingzhu glanced at the maids, completely unconcerned. "Try touching them if you dare. What old lady? This house was all paid for with my money."
"Don't even mention you, even Jiang Wenjin would have to obey me."
Ye Qingzhu's tone became increasingly arrogant, completely unaware of Jiang Wenjin's approach.
"You all had better figure out who's in charge here. If you displease me, I can sell you out anytime!"
Upon hearing Ye Qingzhu's words, the maid trembled with fear and immediately knelt on the ground.
"Madam, please spare us! We were confused and helped you open the storeroom door. Please don't sell us off."
The maids knelt on the ground, begging Ye Qingzhu for mercy.
Chun'er, who was standing next to Ye Qingzhu, vaguely heard someone approaching. She subconsciously looked back and saw Jiang Wenjin standing there at some point.
Chun'er's face paled. Did that mean that the young master had heard everything the second young lady had just said?
Thinking of this, Chun'er disregarded everything else and came to Ye Qingzhu's side, whispering, "Second Miss, the young master is back."
"So what if he comes back?"
Ye Qingzhu didn't even bother to turn around, and spoke indifferently after Chun'er's words.
Feeling guilty and frightened, Wang looked around. When she saw Jiang Wenjin, she seemed to grasp at a straw and shouted at him, "Wenjin, what are you still standing there for? If you don't come over here, I'm really going to be driven to my death by this wife you married."
Jiang Wen hesitated for a moment, but when he heard Wang's call, he quickly stepped forward.
He stood in front of Wang Shi and said to Ye Qingzhu, "Wife, have you made enough of a scene? This is my mother, you shouldn't treat her like this."
"Me, making a scene?" Ye Qingzhu was quite angry at Jiang Wenjin's words.
"Jiang Wenjin, you'd better get this straight. It's your mother who's gone into this storeroom and stolen my dowry. I've already been very lenient by not reporting it to the authorities."
Jiang Wenjin stopped abruptly, then looked at Wang Shi behind him, "Mother, you really took it..."
Before Jiang Wenjin could finish speaking, Wang quickly gave him a wink and lowered her voice, saying, "Wenjin, I'll explain this to you later. The important thing is that you are my wife..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wenjin felt a chill run down his spine, realizing that the dowry issue was indeed related to his mother.
only……
Jiang Wenjin was undecided for a moment. All he could do now was to ask Ye Qingzhu to let the matter rest. Otherwise, if things got out of hand or the Duke's Mansion found out, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"My lady, could we put the dowry matter aside for now? I don't think Mother meant it that way. Once I pass the imperial examinations, I will repay you double for any shortfall."
Jiang Wenjin took another step closer to Ye Qingzhu, and in speaking, he could be said to have lowered his stance.
Upon seeing this, Ye Qingzhu snorted coldly, feeling somewhat relieved.
"It's not impossible for me to pretend this never happened, but you have to send your mother away."
If it weren't for her mother's sake, she would never have let Wang Shi live in this house.
She eats her food and uses her things every day, yet she still dares to act like a mother-in-law. Over time, she loses all sense of her own worth.
“My wife, aren’t you asking too much of me? My mother raised me from childhood to the present day with great difficulty. Now that you have married me, why can’t you be more understanding?”
"Jiang Wenjin, get this straight. It's your mother who stole my dowry. I just asked you to send her away and pretend nothing happened. And here you are telling me it's not easy?"
"Your mother only raised you, so you should take care of her. What does this have to do with me?"
Ye Qingzhu became more and more agitated as she spoke, and she raised her hand and slapped Jiang Wenjin across the face.
"you……"
Jiang Wen clenched his fists and looked at her with a gloomy expression.
The slap stunned everyone, and even a number of maids gathered around the storeroom.
Seeing that things were escalating, Chun'er quickly said to Ye Qingzhu, "Second Miss, why don't we let this matter go? If it continues... we'll still have to live our lives eventually."
"Shut up!" Ye Qingzhu pushed Chun'er away.
"You have no right to speak here!"
After Ye Qingzhu finished reprimanding Chun'er, she saw Jiang Wenjin looking at her with a gloomy gaze, and her expression changed.
