I was pampered like a treasure after being married off to the young marshal, but my father and broth

Why does this fourth young lady of the merchant's family look so timid and unpresentable?

Her eyes darted around, her body trembled, and she had none of the composure expected of a well-bred lady.

Compared to her third sister, she was worlds apart.

Shang Sheyu whispered a reminder from the side: "Fourth Sister, your mother-in-law is talking to you."

Shang Pengyue seemed to wake from a dream, clenching her fists tightly to force herself to calm down, and tremblingly curtsied: "Greetings...Greetings, Madam."

The voice was as faint as a mosquito's buzz, and it even had a tremolo.

Si Nan's dislike was even more pronounced.

petty and narrow-minded.

"Come inside and have a cup of hot tea."

This was just a polite remark.

But to Shang Pengyue, it sounded like an invitation to go in and die.

Should we go inside?

Enter that cannibalistic den of demons?

She never wanted to set foot in the Quan Mansion again in her entire life.

"No...no need!"

Shang Pengyue waved her hands frantically, her steps unconsciously taking a step back.

"I only have a few words to say to my third sister, then I'll leave. No need to trouble the old lady."

After saying that, she looked at Shang Sheyu anxiously, her eyes full of pleading and urging.

Pay up!

I'll leave right away after you give me the money!

Seeing her impatient look, Shang Sheyu sneered inwardly.

She feigned ignorance: "Fourth Sister, what is so important that you don't even have time for a cup of tea?"

Shang Pengyue was so anxious that she stomped her feet and desperately tried to wink at Shang Sheyu.

(Please remember the website 20 ...

How could she dare to ask for money in front of this old woman?

What if this old woman refuses to give it to me?

"Third sister, you..."

Shang Pengyue gritted her teeth: "You understand."

Shang Sheyu blinked, looking completely innocent.

"I don't understand."

"Fourth Sister, just speak your mind. What can't we sisters say to each other?"

Shang Pengyue was so angry she almost vomited blood.

That bitch definitely did it on purpose.

Seeing Shang Sheyu's feigned ignorance, Shang Pengyue steeled her resolve.

As long as I get the money, I don't care about losing face.

"money."

Shang Pengyue lowered her voice and squeezed out a single word through clenched teeth.

Shang Sheyu still looked bewildered: "What?"

"Dowry money!"

Shang Pengyue couldn't hold back any longer, her voice suddenly rising: "Third Sister, you promised me yesterday to give me my dowry in case of emergency!"

This shout stunned the surrounding guards and the servants who had just come out.

A series of surprised gazes were cast at Shang Pengyue.

Is this Miss Shang here to ask for money?

The eldest daughter-in-law of the prestigious Chi family, having only been back at her parents' home for one day, has already come to her sister's husband's house to ask for her dowry money.

The piercing gaze made Shang Pengyue's face burn, as if she had been slapped hard several times.

Shame, embarrassment.

But for the sake of money, she had no choice but to endure it.

"Ah~"

Shang Sheyu seemed to suddenly realize something, and her voice rang out clearly.

"So, Fourth Sister came here to ask for money?"

Her voice was louder and clearer than Shang Pengyue's voice just now.

"Fourth Sister, you should have said so earlier! I thought something terrible had happened."

Shang Pengyue: "..."

That bitch!

She's just faking it!

Si Nan stood on the steps, taking in everything, her eyes narrowing slightly.

When she went to the merchant to propose marriage, she overheard the servants gossiping that the merchant's second wife mistreated his first wife's daughter and treated Shang Sheyu like dirt.

In retrospect, the rumor was true.

This family is truly rotten.

They marry their daughter off, but then they still chase after her to her husband's family to leech off her.

What do you take Sheyu for?

To be a money tree?

Or should it be treated as dough that's been kneaded haphazardly?

A surge of anger rose within Si Nan.

Once she entered the Quan family's door, she became a member of the Quan family.

Who dares to bully the Quan family's daughter-in-law?

Seeing that the time was right, Shang Sheyu stopped teasing Shang Pengyue. She sighed, looking helpless with her younger sister, and said, "Since Fourth Sister needs money urgently, I'll go get it for you right now."

As she spoke, she turned to walk inside.

"Wait a minute."

A hand adorned with a jade ring was placed in front of Shang Sheyu.

Si Nan called out to her.

Shang Sheyu stopped and turned to look at Si Nan: "Mother-in-law?"

Si Nan didn't look at her, but stared coldly at Shang Pengyue below the steps.

That gaze, sharp as a tangible sword, made Shang Pengyue's body stiffen.

"Miss Shang Si".

Si Nan spoke slowly, her voice cold and hard: "I remember the Chi family is considered a wealthy family in the Northern Territory, with considerable assets. Since you are already the eldest daughter-in-law of the Chi family, you should be living a life of luxury. How could you be short of money? If the Chi family finds out about this, they'll probably lose face, won't they?"

Shang Pengyue was speechless when asked the question.

Cold sweat streamed down his forehead.

At the opportune moment, Granny Yan leaned close to Si Nan's ear and whispered, "Madam, this Miss Shang... it seems she hasn't officially entered the Chi family yet."

Si Nan raised an eyebrow: "Oh?"

Although Granny Yan's voice was soft, everyone present could hear it.

"I heard that she was kicked out of the Chi family on the day of her wedding, but no one knows why."

These words caused an uproar.

The servants whispered among themselves.

She turned out to be a woman who had been kicked out of her husband's home.

Shang Pengyue felt dizzy and ashamed, as if she wanted to die.

That damned old hag!

He actually exposed her shortcomings in public.

"Madam," Shang Pengyue gritted her teeth, tears welling in her eyes, but she still tried to maintain her composure, "I'm just temporarily short of money, I've come to borrow some."

"Third sister, I'm borrowing your money, I'll pay it back, it's not like I'm taking it for free."

As long as I can get into the Chi family.

She could use her memories from her previous life to help the Chi family escape those calamities and seize those opportunities to make a fortune.

From now on, all the wealth of the North will belong to her.

What's a little money?

Looking at her frenzied and greedy appearance, Shang Sheyu found it amusing: "Since Fourth Sister says so, then as the older sister, I naturally have to lend a hand."

"We're sisters, talking about not paying it back makes us seem distant."

As she spoke, she turned to turn around again.

"Wait a minute."

Si Nan spoke again.

She looked at Shang Sheyu and shook her head in disappointment.

This child is too soft-hearted.

Despite being bullied by her own family like this, she still cherishes the bond between sisters.

Even between brothers, accounts should be settled clearly.

Si Nan said coldly, "Since Miss Shang said it's a loan, then we have to follow the rules of a loan."

"Words are no proof; let's have a written agreement."

Shang Pengyue was taken aback.

A written agreement?

Has this old hag gone mad?

She even needs to sign a written agreement to borrow money from her own sister?

"Madam, this..."

Shang Pengyue forced a smile: "My third sister and I are blood sisters, this much trust..."

"So what if they're sisters?"

Si Nan interrupted her: "The Quan family's money doesn't come from thin air. If you want to borrow it, you have to write a contract, put your fingerprint on it, and specify the repayment date and interest. If you refuse to write one, then you can forget about taking the money."

Shang Pengyue was so angry that she trembled all over.

She cursed Si Nan's ancestors for eighteen generations in her mind.

mean.

mean.

But circumstances are beyond our control.

Anyway, the agreement was written to Shang Sheyu.

Shang Sheyu is such a pushover. Even if we have a written agreement, would we dare to ask her for money later?

If she defaults on her debt, what can Shang Sheyu do to her?

Thinking of this, Shang Pengyue took a deep breath and gritted her teeth, saying, "Fine, I'll stand up."

Shang Sheyu lowered his eyes, concealing the cunning glint that flashed in them.

The fish has taken the bait.

"Xi'er".

Shang Sheyu instructed, "Go and fetch paper and pen."
