Xin Yuanwen came back soon. His face was not very good-looking when he went out, but now that he came back, his face was so dark that it seemed like he could drip ink.

He glared hard at Zhang Yunhui, looked at the old lady, and then at Xin Nianyan, but he didn't know what to say.

The old lady sneered and said, "How about asking?"

Xin Yuanwen nodded and said in a dull voice: "Well, I asked."

"What are the facts? Do you know?" the old lady asked again.

Xin Yuanwen continued to nod: "I understand, I wrongly blamed Yan'er."

It's just a sentence, but it doesn't mean anything.

Of course, it was impossible for the old lady to ask him to apologize to Xin Nianyan, his daughter. Instead, she glanced at Zhang Yunhui and asked, "Tell me, how should I deal with Madam Zhang when she spreads rumors and confuses right and wrong?"

After a pause, before Xin Yuanwen could speak, she said again: "You have to think clearly, this is in front of your ancestors. If they know that you married such a troublemaking woman, they will still be instigated by her."

If you lose your brain, I’m afraid you’ll get angry!”

Now Xin Yuanwen's idea of ​​saying a few words for Zhang Yunhui was directly suppressed.

Taking a deep breath, he said: "In that case, let's do something about it."

Zhang Yunhui's expression changed drastically: "Master!"

She glanced at the family law that was brought out by the housekeeper, and her face turned pale.

If this thing hits you, your skin will be torn apart!

After two whips, she might not be able to get out of bed for three months!

Much scarier than kneeling in the ancestral hall!

The old lady did not expect that Xin Yuanwen would touch the family law, but looking at the family law that had already been invited, she thought that if she had not come here today, the family law might have been touched on Xin Nianyan, she lost any pity.

Heart.

Not allowing Xin Yuanwen to go back on his words, she said coldly: "Then do it!"

The two women came forward and held Zhang Yunhui down, while the housekeeper held a special whip with sharp barbs, which made people's hair stand on end just by looking at it.

Zhang Yunhui screamed in horror and struggled hard, but she couldn't break free at all.

Xin Yuanwen couldn't bear to look away.

Therefore, the family method that was originally intended to be used on Xin Nianyan was used on Zhang Yunhui.

As soon as the whip was struck, Zhang Yunhui's screams resounded throughout the entire ancestral hall and spread outside, making the servants shiver violently.

After two whips were applied, Zhang Yunhui fainted, and the back of her buttocks was soaked with bright red blood.

The housekeeper wanted to fight again, but Xin Yuanwen finally relented and said: "That's enough."

This family law was set by him after he became a high official, following the example of those high-ranking officials in Beijing. The whip was also specially made by Chen Shiying.

But he didn't want to hit the one he loved the first time he resorted to family violence.

Xin Yuanwen took a deep breath and said to the old lady: "Mom, it's almost done. She didn't make any big mistakes."

The old lady also knew not to go too far, so she snorted coldly and agreed.

Xin Yuanwen immediately asked someone to carry Zhang Yunhui down for treatment, but Xin Nianyan suddenly made a sound.

"Wait a moment."

The two women made a move, and Xin Yuanwen looked at her dissatisfied: "What else do you want to do?"

The old lady was also puzzled.

Xin Nianyan took two steps forward, walked to Chen Shiying's memorial tablet, and said with a faint smile: "Father, grandmother, I am dissatisfied with you saying that Yan'er has something else to do today, and I want to ask father and grandmother to make the decision."

"Yan'er, what's the matter? Tell me." The old lady said softly.

Xin Yuanwen said nothing, but his face was full of impatience.

Xin Nianyan didn't care and started talking to himself: "Grandma, it's like this. Yan'er heard her grandmother say before that when her mother married into the Xin family, she brought a lot of dowry. Yan'er felt very sad because

Out of curiosity, she went to her mother's small warehouse two days ago to check, but found that the dowry was missing. Yan'er was worried that some servants had stolen it, so she wanted to ask her grandmother and father to conduct a thorough investigation.

"

She specifically mentioned Mrs. Chen, just to remind them that if this matter was not thoroughly investigated, she could not guarantee that she would not go to the Chen family to file a complaint.

Neither Mrs. Xin nor Xin Yuanwen expected that she would suddenly mention this matter, and they were both stunned.

The two looked at each other, and after a while, the old lady said: "Yan'er, I'm afraid even your father doesn't know about this. He doesn't care about the back house after all."

When Chen Shiying got married, she did bring a lot of dowry and walked almost three streets. At that time, Xin Yuanwen was only a fifth-rank official. Because of this matter, he was not less embarrassed in front of other dignitaries in the capital.

After Chen Shiying's death, everything about her slowly faded away in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Over the years, they rarely mentioned anything about Chen Shiying.

If Xin Nianyan hadn't mentioned it now, she wouldn't have even remembered that there was such a thing as a dowry.

But what Xin Nianyan said was that all the dowry was gone.

Thinking back to Zhang Yunhui who has been in charge of the family for more than ten years, what else can I do besides being raped by her?

The dowry of a greedy wife is something that outsiders look down upon. If word gets out, I don’t know how many people will laugh at Xin Yuanwen.

So whether Xin Yuanwen knew about it or not, the old lady's first reaction was to pick him off.

"Really?" Xin Nianyan looked at Xin Yuanwen, with a faint smile on his lips, and his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people.

After Xin Yuanwen was stunned for a while, he looked away with evasive eyes.

One thing suddenly occurred to him, that is, Zhang Yunhui had indeed mentioned to him that the money in the house was not enough, and asked if he could use some of Chen Shiying's dowry to make up for it.

He didn't care at the time, thinking that since everyone was dead anyway, the dowry didn't belong to his prime minister's house, so he nodded.

"Your mother has been dead for so many years, so the dowry has naturally been confiscated. Why are you still bringing this up?" Xin Yuanwen said displeased.

"Ah? So it wasn't stolen by a servant." Xin Nianyan pretended to be surprised, "But father, my daughter once heard her grandmother say that a woman's dowry is her private property, and no one can touch it except her children.

Unforgivable."

"Although mother is gone, Yan'er is her biological daughter. Her daughter is still here, so how can the dowry be confiscated? Grandma never told Yan'er about this rule."

Hearing her talking about her grandmother, Xin Yuanwen finally got angry: "Grandma, grandma, who are your parents? Don't forget that your surname is Xin. If you want to listen to the Chen family, you might as well go live with the Chen family!"

Xin Nianyan blinked, her eyes immediately turned red, and she said aggrievedly: "Father, I'm sorry, it's all the daughter's fault. The daughter shouldn't make her father angry. The daughter is also worried that if this matter spreads, it will affect her father's reputation. Since the father doesn't want to

Say, my daughter just won’t mention it.”
