The Evil Prince and his Precious Wife: The Sly Lady
CHAPTER 9 The Battle Against Grandma

"Shut up!" Murong Xue slapped Old Maid Qiu in the face, "You dare to accuse the Queen Mother when you made a mistake? Are you tired of living ?! ” 

Old Maid Qiu's face immediately formed the impression of five fingers, bright red and painful. A dark shadow formed in his eyes and he gritted his teeth in anger, saying, “Madam Young, I really am not lying. It was really the Queen Mother ... ” 

“ Still dare to argue ?! ”Murong Xue slapped him again until he fell to the ground, then he looked down on him. He would teach her harshly when a loud voice rang, “What is that commotion? What the hell is going on?"

He only had a few sentences and help had arrived. How quickly the maids in the Marquis' Mansion sent the message. However, the servants in front of the west wing were all the servants of the Queen Mother. The only one who did not serve him was Old Maid Qiu, and even he was a traitor. Of course the person will come so quickly. please read only the translator website www.novitranslation.com Mouth 

Murong Xue curled in mockery as she casually turned around. It was really Empress Dowager Du slowly walking with the support of a maid. His white hair was tied high pinned slightly by a dark green jade pin. A dark grey head wrap with bamboo embroidery had been decorated with a piece of emerald, complementing the jade pin, authoritative without losing its severity.

His mouth was tight and he glanced at Old Maid Qiu with his swollen cheeks, frowning tightly, "What happened?" 

Old Maid Qiu looked at him like he had found his spine. Bright eyes and tears like broken pearls dripping down, both knees kneeling on the ground and prostrating until heard, he said, “Old Lady, save me! Young Madam wants to sell me! ”Please read only the translator website www.novitransla

Murong Xue raised his eyebrows and casually said, “Maid Old Qiu opened the treasury without permission and had pushed the blame on Grandma. By teaching him a lesson, I helped the Palace discipline every bad practice. Otherwise, some people would think that since they were more experienced, they could bully the young masters and bosses around the Mansion. ”Please read the translator website www.novitranslation.com 

“ Really? ”The Queen Mother's cold sharp gaze passed Old Maid Qiu, whose forehead was red and swollen, then fell on Murong Xue. “But Old Maid Qiu does not lie. I was the one who asked him to open the treasury to take the jewels. You teach the wrong person a lesson. ”

For the sake of his precious granddaughter, he had ordered the servants to open the treasure of his daughter-in-law without permission - it would not sound good. But Du didn't come up with an excuse to push the blame and even admit it directly. It seemed like he really hated Murong Xue. 

If the real person had been standing here, he would definitely not have been able to lift his head from Du's loud remarks. But she came from a noble family of the 21st century and would definitely not submit to this old lady of piety. "Which law in Qingyan states that a mother-in-law can use her daughter-in-law's dowry?"

A dark shadow flashed across Du's eyes and he coldly looked at Murong Xue, “When your mother married the Marquis Household, she belonged to the Household. His dowry was naturally the asset of the Marquis Household. I manage the Internal Household and have the authority to touch anything related to the internal Household. My treasury does not have any suitable accessories, therefore it only makes sense to have Qingyan take a few pieces from here. ” 

“ Qingyan's law clearly states that when the first wife passes on, the dowry is handed over to her children. The things in this treasury were left behind by my mother for me and my brother and had nothing to do with anyone else in the Murong family. As long as my brother and I are alive for one day, you, step-grandmother, have not touched it. ”

After his parents died, Du left Murong Xue at Ruoxue Court and did not care about his survival. In the few times he saw her, if it was not to take something, then it was to reprimand her. If Du did not treat her like his granddaughter, then Murong Xue would not need to treat Du as her grandmother. 

“Now, without the permission of my brother or me, you have broken Qingyan's law by opening the treasury and taking from my mother's dowry.” 

“Really?” Du glanced towards Murong Xue, his eyes full of disdain. "Then, step-grandson, are you ready to sue your step-grandmother and send her to jail?"

“Jewelry is still here and not lost. Granny doesn't need to go to court. You just need to defeat the bully and his crafty slave with a hundred oars and sell them. "Murong Xue said lightly. 

"What are you waiting for? Do you not understand the meaning of Old Madam? Drag Old Maid Qiu down and hit him a hundred paddles without mercy, then sell him! '' Murong Xue rudely ordered. 

"Yes, ma'am!" Two old housemaids stepped forward and stuffed a piece of rough cloth into Maid Qiu's mouth and dragged him out so quickly that others could not respond in time.

The sound of paddles and the painful wailing of Maid Qiu sounded. The maids and housemaids looked at each other without a sound - the Young Madam had lost her patience and they did not want to get involved. 

The Empress Dowager's face was extremely dark as she stared at Murong Xue, a mist forming under her eyes. 

Murong Xue pretended not to look at it and secretly looked towards the ebony boxes that contained jewelry, "Close the boxes and take them back to the treasury." 

"Yes, yeah, yeah!" The servants answered. Carrying the boxes, they hurriedly ran back to the store, afraid that if they walked too slowly, Murong Xue would punish them and they would end up in a miserable situation similar to Old Maid Qiu.

Looking towards the empty courtyard, Song Qingyan paled and clenched her hands tightly under her sleeves - she almost got a sapphire pin and ruby earrings, all of which she loved. Now that it's all gone, how hated! 

"This isn't the first time Cousin Qingyan has taken jewelry from here, is it?" 

Hearing the cold voice, Song Qingyan froze and looked carefully at Murong Xue, "What do you mean?" 

Murong Xue laughed softly, "You shouldn't be confused. I'm not going to teach you a lesson but just ask you to return all the jewels you've taken. ”

Song Qingyan quietly sighed in relief. He scared her - if Murong Xue didn't think of teaching her a lesson rather than it was good. However, the jewels he took were all carefully selected and each one of them was precious. He liked it very much and could not bear to return it to Murong Xue. Besides, she had been wearing those jewels for so long, they should have been hers. “You are my cousin. Just treat that little piece of jewelry as a gift you gave me. Don't you think it's too trivial to ask them? ”

Murong Xue glanced at him and casually said, “Sepupu, you came to the Mansion at least three times a month. Each time you will take two or three pins of hair, earrings, necklaces, jade bracelets, finger sets and many other accessories. In these two years, you not only took a few pieces of jewelry but over a hundred pieces, enough to fill 3 stems! " 

Song Qingyan didn't care, "So what? Your mother had so many dowries. You just lack hundreds of jewels.

Murong Xue smirked. After depriving others of their jewelry, Song Qingyan could still be so right about it. How shameless! “When my aunt got married, she also brought ten miles of her dowry. She certainly has no shortage of jewelry. How about this - give me my mother's dowry back and give me 2 or 3 other fine jewelry sticks so I can also enjoy my aunt's generosity. " 

" My mother's jewelry is mine. How can I give it to you? "Song Qingyan exclaimed. Soon after, he realized that he had been fooled and would only explain further when Murong Xue said first, "My mother's jewelry was also left for me, too, how can it be in your hands? I want to see the jewelry before it gets dark. If not, we'll see in court! ”
