Family Has a Concubine

"Mother, don't worry, with us here, my aunt can still be bullied." A hearty laughter sounded from outside, but it was a cousin of Ye Tangcai.

Ye Tangcai and Qiuju burst out laughing.

"By the way, why are you looking for your mother's dowry list again?" Da Wen said.

"Ye Chengde took my mother's things to fill the outer room! I hate that my mother's dowry list was lost many years ago, and he can't be cured." Ye Tangcai sneered.

"What?" Da Wen's exclaimed. "Is there such a thing?"

"The last time we went to their pickling place, Miss saw my wife's things on the shelf." Qiuju said bitterly.

"That bastard, if you keep the outside room, let's keep the outside room, and use my sister's stuff to fill that bitch!" He slammed the car wall as he said, "Stop! Stop! I'm going back and beat him again Don, chopped off his hand."

"Mother, it's too late for us to go back now! We had a big scene just now, and Ye Chengde was naturally called home by his two younger brothers. He was not there, and there was only that woman left in the house. A large group of us will come to the door again." Go make trouble with that woman, and others will think we are bullying." The hearty voice outside the carriage continued.

Da Wen's face was sullen, and he snorted coldly: "Since we can't beat him, we will see his father-in-law soon, and we will take the dowry list to punish him! Let's see how he justifies such a shameless thing."

"It's too cheap for him." Ye Tangcai's eyes flashed coldly, and her red lips curled up: "Let's take the dowry list and go directly to the officials."

Da Wen's eyes lit up: "Yes! Sue the officials! Sue the officials!"

The dowry is the private property of the woman's family. Even the husband cannot take it arbitrarily. If it is compared carefully, it can be punished. But generally this kind of thing is considered a family matter, and no one else will make a fuss.

The man outside clicked his tongue twice, this cousin is really ruthless!

Qiu Ju said: "Uh... By the way, did the auntie bring back the dowry list?"

The letter was sent out ten days ago, when Da Wen's family had already left Dingcheng to go to Beijing.

Da Wen said: "It happened to be brought back. At that time, I found the dowry list, and I was afraid that I would lose it when I sent it back. I also thought that your mother also had the list, so I didn't think it would be of much use, so I never sent it. This time I went to Beijing. I have been preparing for more than half a month, and I am busy preparing the accompanying things every day, for fear of missing something, but I remembered this list, so I brought it back together."

Qiuju and Ye Tangcai breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mother, let's go back to uncle's house to get the bill now." The hearty voice outside said. They originally planned to go to the Jing'an Hou Mansion to seek justice for the Wen family.

"Exactly." Da Wen said loudly in the carriage.

The carriage turned a corner and headed towards West Street. After walking for a quarter of an hour, it entered the east corner gate of Wen's house and stopped.

Qiuju hurriedly jumped out of the car and put down the scorpion.

Ye Tangcai and Da Wen got out of the car one after another, looked up, and saw a group of handsome young men standing there, saw her looking over in unison, and then stared at her and smiled.

"It was too confusing just now, so I didn't have time to introduce it." Da Wen smiled, "This is your second cousin Qiu Jing, third cousin Qiu Lang, fourth cousin Qiu Huan, and fifth cousin Qiu Juan. Your eldest cousin and sister-in-law He was in charge of the family business in Dingcheng, so he didn't come to Beijing."

"Hello cousin!" The four saluted in unison.

Ye Tangcai's face flushed, she grew up so big, she had seen a lot of men's amazed eyes, but suddenly surrounded by so many people, this situation was enough for her to be embarrassed.

Turning her eyes, she saw that the four of them were all handsome, and the youngest two were exactly the same, they were twins. Hastily gave a blessing: "Hello, cousins."

Qiu Ju giggled: "Auntie, are they all cousins? Are there no cousins?"

Da Wen said: "The youngest, third and fourth, are two months older than Sister Tang."

"Auntie, let's go!" Ye Tangcai said.

"Okay." Da Wen agreed, wanting to grab Ye Tangcai, but her sons held her tight.

Ye Tangcai was startled, so she had no choice but to walk in front with Qiuju. From behind came the voices of Da Wen's talking to his cousins——

"Mother, there is such a beautiful cousin at home, why don't you tell us?"

Da Wen said: "Why didn't I say that, you just laughed silly."

One said with a smile: "Such a beautiful cousin, why didn't mother ever think of marrying her home?"

Ye Tangcai staggered in front, her face burning hot.

Da Wen scolded with a smile: "Why didn't I think about it. But I am married far away, and I know the pain of being separated from my own flesh and blood. How can I let my little sister and sister Tang suffer this kind of pain."

The four brothers sighed together.

"Okay, let's go! Sister Tang is blushing." Da Wen stepped forward with a smile, holding Ye Tangcai's hand: "Let's go!"

A few people hurriedly went straight to Mrs. Wen's yard, and when they stepped into the house, they heard someone talking inside.

"Your elder sister heard that Ye Chengde was raising the outer room outside, so angry she took a big stick and rushed out, even if she couldn't stop it." A helpless voice sounded from inside.

There was silence inside for a while, and then I heard a voice saying: "Eldest sister is still the same as before, she has a bad temper." It was Wen's voice.

"Mother." Ye Tangcai and Da Wen walked in hastily.

I saw four people chatting in Mrs. Wen's bedroom.

Mrs. Wen was lying on the recliner, beside Wen and Ye Tangcai's aunt, Chen, and Wen Lanya was also there.

"Sister Tang... Eldest, Eldest Sister!" Wen's eyes fell from Ye Tangcai to Da Wen's, and the circles of his eyes turned red, and he stood up: "Eldest Sister!"

"Little sister." Da Wen walked over, and the two sisters hugged each other and wept.

"As soon as I received a letter from my mother's family saying that you had entered Beijing, I immediately came to look for you. I didn't want you...so I went out." Wen said while crying.

When Da Wen mentioned Ye Chengde, his eyes were so angry that bloodshot eyes were about to pop out: "Let's all be well... well, don't cry. I have something important to do right now, so you stay here .I’ll be back later, you, stay here for a while too, we sisters have a good time together.”

"Okay." Wen's hastily agreed.

"Hey, big sister, where are you going? Is it Ye..." Chen asked anxiously.

Unexpectedly, Da Wen gave her a sideways glance. Chen was startled, and stopped talking.

Da Wen's said: "It's about my family's business, I need to count the fruit wine that was offered as a tribute."

Qiu's family is a well-known wealthy merchant in Dingcheng. They are in the liquor business, and they are an old-fashioned imperial merchant. But ten years ago, other wine merchants rose up and produced better wine than the Qiu family, so the qualification of the imperial merchant was taken away by other wine merchants.

A few years ago, the eldest son of the Dawen family officially took over the family business, improved wine-making technology, introduced new ones, and finally regained his imperial merchant qualification this year.

Da Wen and his sons came to Beijing to bring wine from the tribute court to Beijing and visit relatives by the way.

"Oh, then go quickly, business is important." Wen's was very reluctant, but he still knew which was more important.

"Shiro, Goro, you are here to talk with grandma and aunt." Da Wen said.

"Yes, mother." The youngest pair of twins responded quickly, smiling very cutely.

"Mother, my aunt and I went to have a look at their family's fruit wine. If it tastes good, I'll spoon two jugs for you." Ye Tangcai pulled Da Wen's and ran out.

"Hey... Sister Tang..."

Wen's voice sounded behind him, but Ye Tangcai dragged Da Wen away in a hurry.

After leaving the house, Ye Tangcai asked, "Where does Auntie live?"

Da Wen pulled Ye Tangcai out of the yard and said, "It's next to Xinxue Garden. I originally wanted to live in your grandmother's yard, but there are too many things there, and several rooms are occupied, and I want to pick you up." My mother came to get together, so I decided to live in the nearby yard. There are all the boxes and cages piled up there! I plan to celebrate the New Year here this year, and I will return to Dingcheng next year after no night."

The two had already walked to the nearby Xinxue Garden, where maids and mother-in-law were packing their luggage. It was the servant brought by Da Wen's.

"Turn out that dowry list quickly!" Da Wen said.

A well-dressed woman quickly agreed, and after a while, a long black wooden box was dug out from a box. Da Wen's opened it, only to see a yellowed booklet lying inside, this is Wen's dowry list.

Ye Tangcai quickly picked up the list and flipped through it.

"Let's go!" Da Wen sneered coldly, and took Ye Tangcai and her two sons out.

A few people went out of the Chuihua Gate and got into the carriage, Da Wen said to the outside world: "Tell the groom, let's go to the yamen!"

"Okay!" Qiu Lang agreed with a grin.

The carriage drove out quickly and headed towards the yamen.

After about two quarters of an hour, they finally stopped at the Yamen. In broad daylight, the gate of the yamen is open, and there are two yamen guards outside, and the one on the right is beeping the grievance drum.

Ye Tangcai was about to step forward, but Da Wen's gave her a hand and snatched the dowry list from her hand: "Let me come, don't go."

"It's up to me." Ye Tangcai frowned.

"You are stupid! You are the daughter of the Ye family, Ye Chengde's own daughter. If you sue the officials, you will still be sued by Ye Chengde. Let alone sue your parents, you will have to be punished first. Even if you sue, others will also accuse you Unfilial, anyway, no matter how reasonable you are, Ye Chengde can use the word filial piety to suppress you! Spit stars will drown you." Da Wen said.

"My mother is right." Qiu Lang said: "In this world, there is no one more suitable than my mother. My aunt is not only your mother, but also my mother's biological sister."

Da Wen's had already rushed out, picked up the drum stick and hit it with a "bang".

The office manager next to him quickly ran over covering his ears: "Don't knock, don't knock, the master is here! If you have any grievances, just go in."

For any case, you have to go through the master first to see what the case is.

Several people entered the yamen together, the entrance is the public hall, with a large trial desk horizontally, behind the desk is written a blue sky plaque, turning left is the entrance of the back hall, and walking in is the place where the master works.

"What's your business?" The master was a man in his forties with a goatee.

"We want to sue someone for theft." Da Wen stepped forward with a sneer, "My sister's dowry was stolen, and the thief lives in a small courtyard in Songhua Lane. We have a dowry list here, please follow me quickly Go get someone."

Master Mao raised his head, and saw that the woman in front of him was very beautiful, she was a lady, and beside the lady stood a magnificent and charming girl. The master's eyes lit up involuntarily, and his gaze was fixed on Ye Tangcai.

Qiu Lang was furious, and stepped forward to take the case: "What are you looking at, ah?"

Master Mao's old face froze, he quickly moved his eyes away, and smiled embarrassingly: "Oh, it turned out to be a theft case, okay, let's go search for the dirt, if it's true, we'll take someone."

Master Mao just wrote a piece of paper, and then went out with twenty yamen servants himself.

A group of people went to Songhua Lane, and the gate of Yongcunju was tightly closed, but Qiu Lang kicked the gate open. The Yamen sent fish to rush in.

"What are you doing? Ah?" Chen Ma and the two servant girls screamed in fright when they saw a group of servants rushing in.

Yin Tingniang also came out of the house. Seeing that Da Wen's family had come back again, and was still with Ye Tangcai, together with the servants, she was stunned: "You, what do you want to do?"

"Things are in the antique shelves in the house!" Qiuju called, and brought the yamen into the house, and after a while, the yamen took out a bunch of things, "These are dirty things! They belong to my wife, but It was stolen by this thief."

"I didn't!" Yin Tingniang's expression changed when she saw these things, and she exclaimed, "I didn't steal anything, I didn't."

Master Mao said in a cold voice, "We'll talk about whether you've gone to the Yamen for interrogation."

"You can't arrest me! I'm from Prince Jing'an, and this house is the house of Prince Jing'an. How can we steal things from the dignified residence of Prince Jing'an?" Yin Tingniang said with a pale face.

Master Mao frowned when he heard the name Jing'an Hou Mansion. This is a dignitary, not an ordinary wealthy household. For the rich and powerful, if you can't offend them, you won't offend them.

Master Mao couldn't help looking at Da Wen's, only to see Da Wen's sneer: "Are you from Jing'an Hou's Mansion? Who is it, why don't I know?"

Yin Tingniang's face froze, and she just cried: "Master, we are really the residence of the Marquis of Jing'an. This is really the house of the prince. If you don't believe me, you can ask the prince and invite him here."

Master Mao's heart shuddered, and he felt that this was true.

Yin Tingniang looked at Ye Tangcai again: "Sister Tang, how could you do this... This is your father, you can't be unfilial! You don't like me, hate me, you can't wrong him like this. You can't ask the government to arrest him either! "

Master Mao's eyelids twitched, this is a family!

Da Wen's sneered coldly: "Don't talk nonsense, I called the person, and it's none of Sister Tang's business. Don't confuse the audience!" Then he looked at Master Mao, "This is the dirt, anyway, it's theft. Master, please bring this person back to the Yamen for investigation."

Yin Tingniang cried and said: "Master Cha, these things belong to the Jing'an Hou Mansion. This is the house of Jing'an Hou Shizi. He just put his own things here."

Master Mao was startled: "This..."

"Hey, I don't know, when did my mother's dowry become Ye Chengde's personal property? It was actually posted to your concubine." Ye Tang sneered with red lips, and cast his sharp eyes on Master Mao: " A woman’s dowry is private property, and even her husband and her family cannot touch it. Otherwise, it is theft!”

Master Mao didn't know what to do for a while, he didn't want to offend the powerful, but all the dirty things were found, Ye Tangcai and Da Wen's bite them again, so he said: "Take it back first."

The Yacha stepped forward and pressed Yin Tingniang.

Yin Tingniang was dragged away, screaming, "I didn't! You wronged me! I didn't! Son, call him back quickly."

"Madam! Madam!" Chen Ma and other maids shouted anxiously when they saw Yin Tingniang being dragged away.

Da Wen stepped forward, gouged out Chen Ma and the others, and sneered: "Madam? Well, well, well, well, ma'am!"

Chen Ma waited for the servant girl's expression to change, her face turned livid, she was too frightened to make a sound.

"Let's go!" Da Wen's shouted coldly,

The Yacha had already dragged Yin Tingniang out, put her on a small carriage, and then rushed towards the Yamen.

Master Mao and others pressed Yin Tingniang back to the Yamen.

Master Mao understood the ins and outs of the matter clearly.

Almost everyone knows that Jing'an Hou Shizi raised his concubine. Unexpectedly, he actually used his original wife's dowry to post in the outer room, and now the original wife's natal family came to sue the officials, accusing him of stealing his wife's dowry.

Mr. Mao felt that his head was too big. Who would sue the officials for this kind of housework?

Master Mao didn't dare to make up his own mind, so he went to Cheng Fu Yin and let Cheng Fu Yin decide.

Chengfu Yin is an upright official, he is unambiguous about his major affairs, but this kind of housework... To be able to stay in the position of Fu Yin for so long is also a person who knows the rules, and it is inevitable to give convenience to the powerful.

Cheng Fuyin thought for a while, and then went to the Jing'an Hou Mansion to report the letter with the servant.

Ye Chengde was beaten half to death because of Da Wen's incident in Songhua Lane. Brother Ye Chengxin came out to start a fight, and invited Da Wen's to visit, hoping to appease Da Wen's.

In Anning Hall——

Ye Hewen and Miao were sitting on the couch, Ye Chengde, Ye Yun, the second room and the third room, and Ye Lingjiao were all sitting on the armchairs below, waiting for Da Wen's visit.

Ye Hewen's face was heavy: "Why don't you come? Didn't you say they got into the carriage after leaving the street? It's been a long time!"

Ye Chengxin sneered: "Who knows."

Ye Chenggang said: "I saw them getting into the car. And when we pulled people away, she also said that she would come to my sister-in-law...to seek justice...it is impossible not to come!"

"Don't dare to come, admit it." Sun said hehe. Seeing Ye Chengde being beaten up by his sister-in-law, Mrs. Sun almost died of laughter. This big room is really... making troubles again and again, tsk tsk, this scene is really good.

"Where's Wen's?" Ye Hewen frowned, "Why don't you come over?"

"Brother's servant came to report that a quarter of an hour before elder brother was beaten, sister-in-law happily went out, saying that her elder sister had returned and was going back to her mother's house." Ye Lingjiao glanced at Ye Chengde, her eyes full of happiness. Misfortune.

The eldest sister-in-law will never see her eldest sister when she returns to her natal home, because her eldest sister is beating people in Songhua Lane!

With such a big brother, Ye Lingjiao already felt that someone should give him a good beating. But Wen's can't beat him, otherwise he will bear the reputation of a vicious woman who beats her husband. If she really beats her, others will even say that her husband deserves to have a concubine. She couldn't beat her, because that was her elder brother, and if she beat her father, she would blame her for trouble. Sister Tang couldn't beat her, because that was her father, no matter how scumbag or shameless she was, she couldn't do it, otherwise a dutiful son would crush someone to death.

Only the family members of the natal family can fight that way, which is justified and taken for granted.
