Chapter 128 Worthless Dowry
Chapter 128 Worthless Dowry
"Mi, after all, I am your grandmother..."
"Don't forget, we are no longer related. You have already driven me, my mother and my sisters out of the Mi family. We broke off all ties fourteen years ago. We are still alive thanks to the protection of God. What does it have to do with you? If you keep jumping around in front of me, be careful that you will never be able to get out of bed again. The same goes for you, Chu Qianqian. Don't pretend here and don't force me to take action." Mi Yao looked at Old Lady Mi and Chu Qianqian and smiled sinisterly.
"You...you bastard!" Old Mrs. Mi's mouth trembled with anger.
"see a visitor out."
At Mi Yao's command, Chunhua Qiushi immediately took the broom in the yard.
"Please leave!"
"Two bitches..." Chu Qianqian had never been so humiliated and asked the people in her yard to beat up these two girls.
"Tear these two bitches apart for me!"
Several old women rushed over, but in a moment, they were seen flying out of the yard.
"Thump thump thump"
"what……"
With the sound of plop, Old Lady Mi and Chu Qianqian trembled with fear, and looked at Chunhua Qiushi with their eyes wide open. These two bitches actually know martial arts?
Old Mrs. Mi no longer needed anyone to support her and she slipped away in the blink of an eye.
Chu Qianqian followed closely behind. A wise man would not suffer a loss in front of him, so he left first and waited for the master to come back before figuring out how to marry Mi Yao to the Lin'an Marquis Mansion as soon as possible.
Mi Jianshu was very busy today and did not return home until dark.
"Master, you're back!" Chu Qianqian hugged Mi Jianshu's arm and started crying.
The Western Expedition Army returned to Beijing three days later. As an official of the Ministry of Rites, he was busy with reception affairs, celebration banquets, etc., and he had to arrange everything in detail. After running around all day, Mi Jianshu was so tired that his legs were weak.
"What's wrong with you? As the mistress of the family, how can you cry like this?" There was a hint of impatience on Mi Jianshu's face.
"She is still your good daughter..." Chu Qianqian told the story again with exaggeration.
No matter what Chu Qianqian said or what Mi Jianshu understood, Mi Yao was disrespectful to his elders, rebellious against them, and overbearing.
"Master, please marry her off quickly." Chu Qianqian said with tears in her eyes.
"Rebellious girl!" Mi Jianshu went to the courtyard of the Mi Yao sisters without even taking off his official robe.
In the yard, three sisters were sitting there talking and laughing, while Chunhua, Qiushi and Dongxue were busy in the small kitchen, and the fragrance was already wafting out.
"Sister, were these three girls really bought from the dental clinic?" Mi You asked quietly.
"She is so clever that she will naturally hide it from others." Mi Yao would naturally not hide it from her sister.
She had asked Ren Xiaoyao to arrange several women in the pawnshop just in case of emergency. As for exposing her identity, Mi Mo did not hide it from Ren Xiaoyao.
Milan is weak and the baby in her belly needs nutrition, so you have to ask the three girls to make more nutritious food.
"Sister, we are so lucky to have you." Milan leaned on Mi Yao's shoulder.
"You're almost a mother, but you're still so clingy. Go stick to Da Niu." Mi Yao touched Milan's hair lovingly. She vaguely remembered that when the original owner was a child, she often snatched food from Milan and asked Milan to do all the work. She would beat her if she was not satisfied, but Milan never complained.
Now that I have taken over, I will take care of this younger sister.
Daniu was smiling naively at the side. Now in Shizhong Mansion, he didn't have to do anything. He just stayed there all day long. Daniu was about to get sick from staying there all day.
"Rebellious girl, come out here." Mi Jianshu's voice arrived before he did.
Mi Yao leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and looked at the gate of the courtyard.
Mi Jianshu came in a hurry. He first smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen, and saw the three unfilial daughters sitting firmly on their chairs even though they saw him coming. Then he saw the fruit plate on the small table. The red ones, the green ones, and the bunches of them seemed to him like he had seen them at a palace banquet. He heard that they were fruits tributed from foreign countries.
"If you have anything to say, just tell me!" Mi Yao smiled faintly.
"Is this how you, a daughter, treat your father?" Mi Jianshu was so angry when he saw Mi Yao like this.
"There's no way. I grew up in the countryside. I had a father who gave birth to me but didn't raise me. My mother was sick and bedridden all year round. It was not easy for me to be alive. I can't compare with the young ladies in Beijing who don't have to worry about every meal or not having thick coats to wear when the weather is cold. As for upbringing, I really don't have it." Mi Yao said, spreading her hands.
"You..." Mi Jianshu punched the cotton.
"Are you going to spend the monthly salary that was paid to you like this?" Mi Jianshu pointed at the cakes and fruits on the table.
"Once you give me the money, it's mine. How I spend it is my business." Mi Yao picked up a grape, took a bite, and it was so sweet.
"You, you are not a child anymore. I have found a family for you and you can marry him in a few days." Mi Jianshu also realized that Milan and Mi You were completely rooting for Mi Mo.
"Okay, I have no objection. I don't know how much dowry Lord Mi will give me, but at the very least I am now the eldest daughter of Shizhong Mansion and the daughter of a fifth-rank official in the court. The dowry can't be too bad, right?" Mi Yao said with a smile.
Milan's face darkened. She wondered if her elder sister was really going to get married.
Mi You was not worried. It was impossible for her elder sister to marry someone else, especially someone arranged by her scumbag father. It was obvious that her elder sister was teasing her scumbag father.
"Of course." Mi Jianshu responded in order to appease Mi Yao and let her get married smoothly.
"Then bring it to me today. I'll marry you if I'm satisfied." Mi Yao acted as if everything was negotiable as long as the money was in place.
Mi Jianshu didn't say whether it was okay or not, he just flicked his sleeves and turned away.
Mi Yao laughed. This Lord Mi’s fighting ability was simply not good enough. He became so angry just by a few words.
The next day, Mi Jianshu asked Chu Qianqian to deliver eight boxes, which contained some ornaments, porcelain, fake paintings by masters, two hundred taels of silver, a few head ornaments made of ordinary materials, some small accessories, a dozen pieces of cloth with outdated colors and patterns, and a few dresses that were either red or green.
Mi Yao smiled, but didn't say anything. If it's free, why not throw it away? He would take it back to the villagers of Liujia Village tomorrow. They would surely like it very much. At worst, he could donate it to beggars.
Seeing Mi Yao's excitement, Chu Qianqian felt contempt in her heart and secretly laughed at the country bumpkin, calling him a bastard who had never seen good things.
At night, someone came to Jingfeng Yaju on West Street.
"Master, Doctor Huang from Dexin Medical Clinic has sent a letter." Zhang Bing took out a letter.
"Doctor Mi, I am Huang De, the eldest son of Mr. Huang, and the owner of De Dexin Medical Clinic. A few days ago, a patient came to the clinic..." Huang De told Mi Yao the patient's detailed condition and pulse history, and then wanted Mi Yao to see the patient. The consultation fee was five thousand taels.
After looking at Huang De's detailed pulse history, the patient's condition, and the course of the disease, Mi Yao had some guesses in his mind.
"Reply tomorrow and tell them I will go to the clinic at 8 o'clock tomorrow night." As for why at night, it was because the day after tomorrow was the day Mi Yao was going to get married, and she had to stay to perform in a play. Without her as the leading actress, the play could not be performed.
"Yes." Zhang Bing left.
