Chapter 180 We Don’t Want It

"How is it? Have you found out where it is?" Mo Yuyang looked at the man in black and said with satisfaction.

The man in black had his face covered, so it was hard to tell who he was, but his voice was very familiar: "He has already given it to Miss Xia San."

"Xia Yanxiang?" Mo Yuyang was a little surprised. "It seems that my second brother is still a romantic man. He dares to give such an important thing to a woman!"

"Find a way to get it!"

Mo Yuyang's expression suddenly changed, and he looked a little scary in the shadow.

The man in black hesitated for a moment, nodded, turned and left.

This chilly February has finally passed, and we have another March 3rd Festival, but the situation is quite different from last year.

Last year's key figure was missing from the outing party, and the peony flowers looked withered and colorless.

After Tu Ling dealt with the divorce issue, he began to watch over Xia Yanxiang every day to help her recover. With great effort, he finally made Xia Yanxiang a little whiter and plumper.

Thinking that Xia Liu should have prepared all the dowry, Tu Ling began to plan a date for her and Shen to go to Xia's house again to get all the dowry back.

This time, Xia Yanxiang asked to go with them, and Tu Ling did not object.

Tu Song was busy and couldn't spare the time, so he asked Tu Xiao to go with them to prevent Xia Liu from doing anything wrong.

When we arrived at the Xia Mansion, this time it wasn't just the housekeeper who came to pick us up, but there was also Xia Jianxiang.

Tu Ling and Shen got off the carriage first, and Yu Kui supported Xia Yanxiang from behind.

As soon as Xia Jianxiang saw Tu Ling, her face became sour and puckered. When she saw Xia Yanxiang, it became even uglier.

"Oh, third sister is back? Third sister is really good at making plans! She hasn't even gotten married yet, but she's already instigated her mother to divorce and divide the family property. Is she afraid that the Xia family won't prepare a dowry for you in the future or something?" Xia Jianxiang completely forgot what Yang Jin told her to be patient.

Xia Yanxiang was feeling very proud of herself, how could Xia Jianxiang possibly endure this?

Xia Yanxiang curled her lips slightly, glanced back at the neighbors who came to watch the fun, and replied slowly: "Fifth sister, what do you mean? Why should I worry about whether the Xia family will prepare a dowry for me? Even if my mother does not divorce, I am still the legitimate daughter of the Xia family. Even if they deducted the dowry of others, how could they deduct my dowry?"

"Fifth sister is so anxious. Are you worried that my mother's dowry will be taken away and there will be no one to give you a dowry?"

Who doesn’t know how to talk about yin and yang?

Xia Yanxiang used to disdain to fight and felt that fighting was meaningless, but it wasn't that she couldn't fight for it!

"Xia Yanxiang!" Xia Jianxiang was guessed right by Xia Yanxiang and immediately shouted.

Xia Yanxiang still looked calm and composed, which made Xia Jianxiang extremely angry.

"Fifth sister, don't be angry! The neighbors are all watching! Fifth sister, you must pay attention to your reputation. In the future, the Xia family will only have you as a daughter, and she is the real legitimate daughter!"

Every word Xia Yanxiang said pierced Xia Jianxiang's heart.

Doesn’t Xia Jianxiang know what will happen to the Xia Mansion once Tu Ling’s dowry is taken away?

Even if Yang Jin was promoted to the position of wife in the future, Xia Jianxiang would be the only legitimate daughter of the Minister of Rites waiting to get married, and she would be as precious as Xia Yanxiang at that time!

But Yang Jin knew in his heart, and Xia Jianxiang also knew in her heart, that once Tu Ling's dowry was gone, the Xia Mansion would be half an empty shell, and it was unknown how long it could last.

It is not even certain how much Xia Jianxiang's dowry can be.

Xia Jianxiang's blushing face already showed her lack of confidence.

Tsk, how boring! Xia Jianxiang's rank is far inferior to Xia Pinxiang.

It’s more interesting to argue with Xia Pinxiang.

"Yan'er, say less." Seeing that Xia Jianxiang had already been defeated, Tu Ling couldn't help but remind Xia Yanxiang softly.

"Don't get angry with her, it's not worth it."

Tu Ling's light words were even more powerful than the ones Xia Yanxiang and Xia Jianxiang had just joked with, and Xia Jianxiang was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

Xia Jianxiang snorted and turned to enter the Xia Mansion.

Shen's temper has always been uncontrollable. This time, she didn't say anything. Instead, she was very happy to see Xia Yanxiang bullying Xia Jianxiang like this.

"Ah Ling, Yan'er is just giving a few words of advice to her sister as a big sister. In the future, Miss Five will not have a big sister anymore!"

Xia Jianxiang had already walked in, but she still heard what Shen said and became even angrier.

Tu Xiao kept watching them from behind, praying in his heart.

It turns out that Sister Yanxiang is so good at talking! It seems that helping Sister Yanxiang was the right choice.

Since it was the Jingzhao Yin who came to resolve the divorce issue last time, he also sent someone this time.

Xia Yanxiang didn't know about the fight between them last time, and thought that Jingzhao Yin just didn't want to continue to get involved in this mess.

After entering the Xia Mansion, Xia Liu and Yang Jin were waiting for them in the main hall.

Xia Yanxiang no longer considered Xia Liu her father. The smile she had on the way here was gone, and her face was filled with an unfathomable coldness.

Xia Liu didn't say anything when she saw Tu Ling and Shen coming, but she felt very unhappy when she saw Xia Yanxiang's expression: "What's that face of yours?! You look so lifeless after seeing your biological father!"

Before Xia Yanxiang could reply, Tu Ling spoke up: "Yan'er will be with me in the future. It's better to have no father like you. Why should I treat you well?"

"Tu Ling! Even if you take her away, it can't change the fact that she is my daughter!" This is the only bargaining chip Xia Liu can use to show off in front of Xia Yanxiang.

Tu Ling snorted coldly: "Why? Lord Shangshu, do you hope that Yan'er is not your daughter? Lord Shangshu, do you want to be cuckolded?"

"Tu Ling!" Xia Liu became more and more irritated by Tu Ling, his face flushed red. If he hadn't been concerned about the presence of Tu Xiao and Jingzhao Yin's men, he would have probably hit someone.

Tu Ling is no longer the timid Tu Ling of the past. Now he feels very upset when he sees Xia Liu getting angry.

"Your Excellency Shangshu, we are here to settle the dowry. Are you planning to embezzle our Tu family's dowry and delay time here?" Shen snorted and started to talk about business with disdain.

Xia Liu also snorted and waved to Yang Jin: "The things have been prepared a long time ago. We in the Xia family are not without wealth. We don't want the things from your Tu family!"

Yang Jin sat in the upper seat, side by side with Xia Liu, acting like a principal wife, and signaled the servants to bring the things up with a slight smile.

"These are the account books of the Tu family's land and shops. They are all here. As for the items, they have all been packed, sealed and recorded. You can just carry them back."

"As for the slaves that Tu Ling brought as a dowry, their indentures are all here. As for the silver, haha, Madam has been living in the Xia Mansion for so many years. If you leave them untouched, I'm afraid there will be no money left."
