My Dear Wife, Please Be Gentle!-Chapter 1217 - 1223: Swallowing the Dowry

Cui Xindie lowered her voice and said, "My maternal grandfather lives in the Capital, and I visit him every year. One year, I saw her beat a maid to death simply because her earring was damaged."

Although a servitude contract had been signed, life and death were at the master’s discretion.

But how could a life compare to an earring?

The scene was too bloody, she would never forget it in her lifetime. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

She liked using products from Duo Meifang, and she had a good impression of the owner, not wanting to see her suffer any losses.

"Thank you, I’ll be cautious of her," Qiao Duo’er replied earnestly.

She had originally thought Yun Piaopiao was merely ambitious, but after knowing this, she could directly determine Yun Piaopiao was a malicious woman.

People like her had a dark psychology, it was best to stay far away.

Cui Xindie was satisfied, "As long as you are aware, that’s good. My mother is still waiting for me, I need to go back now."

After she finished speaking, she hurried away, warming Duo’er’s heart.

Cui Xindie was straightforward and kind-hearted, and her family was a branch of the Scholarly Cui Family of the Capital, known for their integrity. There might be an opportunity to forge ties with this Cui Family in the future.

Duo’er only went to negotiate business at the preserved fruits shop when it became cooler in the evening.

Huo Minglan had always intended to establish good relations with the Tan Family and readily agreed to the business opportunity that came knocking, cooperating very well.

In just the duration of burning one incense stick, they had settled the deal.

Finally, Huo Minglan and Qiao Duo’er signed their names on the contract, and the collaboration took effect.

"Here’s to a pleasant cooperation."

Qiao Duo’er nodded, "I’ve always felt that making money is a delightful thing."

Before Duo’er could finish, a commotion erupted outside.

"You little bitch, come out here! Don’t think I don’t know about the disgusting things you’ve done, you actually embezzled my property and hid here to indulge in luxuries!"

It was Niu Fuquan’s voice, and it was clear he was here to cause trouble.

Huo Minglan apologetically said, "This shop doesn’t have a back door, Duo’er, you should hide in the back room for now."

Niu Fuquan, crazy and reckless, might end up harming Duo’er and the child in her womb.

"Don’t worry about me," Qiao Duo’er was not accustomed to entering someone else’s bedroom.

After all, with her skills, Niu Fuquan could not get within three feet of her, so she was very safe.

Huo Minglan gave a wry smile, "Then I apologize for the embarrassment."

In fact, she knew that even if Duo’er went to the back room, she could still clearly understand what was happening outside.

She suggested Duo’er go there just to deceive herself.

The only comfort was that Duo’er was not a gossip, otherwise, she would become the talk of the town by tomorrow.

While they were talking, Niu Fuquan had entered the guest room, thinking about his own straitened circumstances while this woman indulged in luxury here, which inflamed his anger even more.

"You damned woman, by what right do you encroach on the Niu Family’s property?"

Niu Fuquan’s eyes nearly popped out of his head.

Huo Minglan scoffed lightly, "The Niu Family’s? My sister brought ten shops and two estates as her dowry. Excluding the outputs and silver jewelry over the years, I’ve only taken six shops and one estate now, and I still need to ask you where the rest have gone!"

Normal families never seize a woman’s dowry.

Even if the person passes away, the dowry should be inherited by her biological children.

But the Niu Family, managed by Niu Fuquan, had dabbed into shops and estates, and concubines had embezzled a lot of silver jewelry.

Probably the entire Ning Tian Mansion couldn’t find another so shameless!

As this was mentioned, Niu Fuquan grew even angrier, probably because the Niu Family’s business had been encountering various problems for the past two years.
