Marrying a playboy? She turned the tables and used a magical talisman to become famous throughout th

He wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.

The old woman stood with one hand on her hip, still bossing people around.

"Those guys carrying the round-cornered cabinet, are you clumsy and looking for a beating? Be careful, I'll tell Madam and give you a good beating, then you'll know what's what!"

Everything in our lady's room is of the finest quality; you couldn't buy anything this good even with a lot of money these days.

The servants tightened their skin and replied, "Yes."

Zhen's hands were clenched tightly, her reddened eyes following the furniture being carried out of the house.

The old woman was telling the truth; the wood used for the furniture was all old wood carefully collected by her father, which was as good as new over time and hard to find on the market.

The master craftsmen were hired at great expense, so their skills were undoubtedly superb.

Her dowry, let alone if placed in a phoenix perch, could make even a thatched hut look magnificent.

When Wang saw her dowry, her eyes lit up, and she kept it for more than ten years.

"Granny?"

Yin Liuli exchanged a glance with Granny Jin, already understanding that these were all her mother's dowry.

Yin Liuli coldly observed her mother's reaction.

The servants carried the chest of drawers over, and Madam Zhen leaned forward, her lips trembling uncontrollably.

Granny Jin urged her anxiously from the side.

"Madam, those are your things! Say something!"

Zhen's face turned pale, and she opened her mouth with difficulty, "I..."

Having endured Wang's oppression for over a decade, she felt as if something was stuck in her throat, preventing her from making a sound.

Granny Jin was both angry and heartbroken. She gasped for breath and said...

"If we don't stop them, they'll be carried out... Young lady, please say something!"

"My mother's things, let my mother decide for herself."

Yin Liuli coldly observed Zhen's reaction and said firmly, "If she doesn't overcome this hurdle herself, even if I get the things back for her, she won't be able to keep them in the future!"

She wants to protect her mother for the rest of her life.

Even if she were to be struck by lightning and reduced to ashes, she would still have a guardian spirit by her mother's side to ensure her safety for the rest of her life.

If Mother doesn't raise her own spirits, won't she live such a humble life in the future?

Zhen's body trembled violently, as if she had been enlightened.

"Liuli..."

A few bloodshot veins suddenly appeared in her tearful eyes, and she said in a trembling voice, "It's my fault, Mother...have I disappointed you?"

Yin Liuli gently grasped her hand, her clear eyes filled with a determined encouragement.

"No, Liuli knows that Mother suffered a lot in the past. From now on, Mother only needs to remember one thing: Liuli will always be Mother's support."

Two lines of clear tears rolled down Zhen's cheeks.

Yes, she has powerful backers now!

If she doesn't stand up for herself, wouldn't she be letting down her daughter who's been supporting her?

"Please move aside, madam, be careful not to bump into anything."

The servants carried the chest of drawers past Madam Zhen.

Granny Jin secretly took a breath, feeling extremely worried for her.

"stop."

Madam Zhen raised her head and said firmly, "Take these things back to me."

The servants looked at each other in bewilderment.

"What?"

"Madam, what does this mean?"

……

"I said, take my things back."

A radiance seemed to rise over Zhen's pale face, and her voice no longer trembled. "All the furniture in the Phoenix Perch Furniture set is part of my dowry. No one may touch it without my permission!"

Having been oppressed for so many years, this was the first time she had seen her mistress so resolute. Overjoyed, Granny Jin clasped her hands together and bowed to heaven and earth.

"Amitabha Buddha, Amitabha Buddha... This is wonderful!"

"Madam Zhen, this...this isn't appropriate, is it?"

A servant hurriedly stepped forward and said, "It was Madam Wang who ordered us to carry the things out. Now you say you want to take them back, which puts us in a difficult position."

Zhen's voice was clear and cold.

"You don't need to make things difficult for her. Just do as I say. If there's anything else, let her come and tell me."

The servants looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

"What, does Madam Zhen's word not carry weight?"

Standing beside Madam Zhen, Granny Jin reprimanded her righteously, "You all have no manners! You're afraid of the sticks that Madam Wang might give you, but you're not afraid of the sticks that our Madam might give you?"

"No, no, I know I was wrong. I'll take the things back right away."

The servants quickly agreed and reluctantly carried the chest of drawers back.

"Stop right there!"

Wang's sharp voice came from behind.

She helped the old woman out of the room, walked straight to Madam Zhen, and her face showed a hint of hostility.

"What do you mean by this, sister! You're not satisfied with forcing me to give you this courtyard, you won't even let me take my things?"

"Is my sister trying to drive me to my death?!"

Looking into her eyes, Zhen no longer avoided her previous vicious gaze, and said calmly,

"These things are my dowry, not yours."

"What a joke, your dowry? Why didn't you mention it before?"

Wang said disdainfully, "I've used these things in this house for over ten years, and now you say they're yours just because they're yours? What kind of logic is that!"

Zhen retorted coldly.

"If we're talking about logic, back then I only caught a cold, but you bribed the doctor to say I had the plague and forced me to move out, then seized my dowry for over a decade. What kind of logic is that?"

She used to swallow her pride and suffer in silence, but things are different now. She can no longer let anyone bully her!

"What do you mean by bribing the doctor? Do you have any evidence? If not, don't make false accusations against me!"

Wang glanced at her disdainfully and said in a sarcastic tone,

"Back then, when you moved out to recuperate, it was Master who made me move into this courtyard. Everything he gave me was promised to me personally. You dare ask Master for it?"

Madam Zhen pursed her lips. "The dowry is mine, why should he give it to you..."

Seeing that she was speechless, Wang became even more aggressive and shrill.

"Now that you've forced me out, you're even trying to take my things. Sister, aren't you going too far?"

"You want to force my daughter and me to our deaths so you can take over this manor all by yourself!"

Zhen was somewhat anxious, but for a moment she didn't know how to refute it, and her voice even carried a hint of a sob.

"I didn't bully you, this is clearly..."

She never argues with anyone.

Sometimes, the more urgently you talk to someone, the more your mind goes blank and you don't know what to say. Often, before you can even speak, tears start falling.

Even if you have a lot of rebuttals afterward, it won't help.

"According to the Da Chang Law, a woman's dowry and land after marriage do not go to her husband's family. They are the private property of the married woman, and the husband is not allowed to privately acquire his wife's property. The property acquired by the wife's family is also not subject to the limit."

Just then, Yin Liuli's clear voice slowly rang out from behind Zhen Shi, "Madam Wang is also a married woman, surely she knows this law?"

You've held onto this for over a decade, and now that my mother is asking for it back, you refuse. If my mother goes to the authorities to sue you for conspiring with Yin Jingtang to embezzle her dowry, I'm sure you'll win the case.

"Yes, yes, that's exactly what I said!"

Waaah had already whispered the law in her ear, telling her every word of it.

Wang's heart skipped a beat, but she forced herself to speak.

"What law... Even if it is, who knows if these pieces of furniture belong to your mother, and which ones were part of her dowry?"

Perhaps the master has seen how hard I've worked managing the household over the years, and ordered these items to be made for me one by one.
