Dressed as a young lady, she became rich by relying on Pinxixi

Chapter 129 Pei's Counterattack

Xu Siyu was not in a good mood today. When she heard Lin Yiqing mention his elder brother, she couldn't help but said with disdain: "Besides, I can cooperate with Pei's. I find your elder brother dirty."

When Xu Siyu went to Linglong Cloth Shop to select cotton, she met her sister-in-law Pei.

Pei was sitting in the backyard, and when she saw Xu Siyu, she forced a smile, but her haggard look was obvious at a glance.

Unlike Xu Siyu who always showed up in public, Pei stayed in the backyard after marrying into the Lin family and never appeared in the cloth shop, even though that was her dowry.

But since when did this good daughter-in-law prefer to leave the house and stay in the shop rather than stay in the Lin family?

From the exchange of glances, Xu Siyu understood Pei's inner pain to a certain extent.

Originally, Xu Siyu had no intention of saying anything bad about his elder brother in front of Lin Yiqing, but he insisted on mentioning this person, so she got angry.

"I heard that my eldest brother was blessed with a son and stayed with me all day. Because I used last year's plum blossom fragrance in my room instead of this year's new one, I was accused of being narrow-minded and harsh on my eldest sister-in-law. I was punished by having her hand over the management of the Lin family's rear residence to my concubine. Lin Zhao, your Lin family's sage books are not well read in the North House, and the South House is almost the same..."

Lin Yiqing didn't agree with his father and brother taking concubines, but he didn't object either. His father's new concubine had already been given to another family because she was immature. As for his eldest brother...

Lin Yiqing said helplessly: "It's not convenient for me to take care of what's going on in Big Brother's backyard..."

Lin Yiqing's attitude has always been gentle. When he got angry, Xu Si also realized that he shouldn't lose his temper over other people's problems and erode the relationship between him and Lin Yiqing.

She nodded in agreement. "I know, so let's not mention him between you and me."

[It is easy to find priceless treasures, but it is hard to find a loving partner.]

Xu Siyu felt that she shouldn't always be so strong.

She put her arms around Lin Yiqing's waist and rubbed her head against the man's neck.

"Husband, I just got angry, which was wrong... I just... felt sorry for my sister-in-law."

Xu Siyu rarely behaves like a little woman, which scared Lin Yiqing so much that he was at a loss. He quickly thought about what he should say. What could he say?

He was confused and answered her tentatively: "Qingqing, I don't take concubines..."

"Yeah...I know." Xu Siyu looked into his eyes, and genuine affection flowed between their eyes. She was saying that she believed him.

No matter what the future holds, their current relationship is always precious.

Lin Yiqing's heart softened.

"Well, I'll send a letter to Long Wu to ask him to find out about the farm over there. What size farm do you think we should have, or how much cotton should we plant?"

Look, everyone gives in.

Lin Yiqing's refusal was a good decision.

Xu Siyu raised her head, changed her place and rubbed it again, and replied with a smile: "Head of the family, you decide!"

The couple in Cuihua Garden found a way to live in harmony, while at the Lin residence, the whole city was filled with excitement because of the end of a couple's love.

The Pei family brought people to the Lin family and made a big fuss.

Someone came hurriedly from the Lin residence to ask Lin Yiqing to go back.

Xu Siyu also went with him.

The entrance to the South Residence was filled with layer upon layer of people watching the excitement, and the usually spacious road was now packed with people without any space.

Fortunately, they had the Qinglong Guards leading the way, so the carriage was able to pass through the crowd and enter the house through the side door.

After getting off the car from the side door, there is still some walking distance to the front yard.

From a distance, Xu Siyu heard screams and groaning sounds of pain coming from the front yard.

The spacious courtyard was filled with kneeling servants, many of whom had fresh scars from beatings.

The worst thing happened when two maids fell at the door of the hall with their hands broken, and no one dared to save them.

When Xu Siyu stepped into the main hall, she saw the eldest brother of the Lin family kneeling in the middle of the hall with his head lowered and a pitiful woman in his arms, while Aunt Meng was kneeling in front of the eldest brother, looking as if she was begging for mercy.

Lin's father and mother and a couple of similar age sat at the left and right.

Sister-in-law Pei was sitting next to the old couple, and next to her was a young couple.

It is not difficult to guess that these are the eldest sister-in-law's parents, brothers and sisters-in-law.

Behind them stood a matchmaker whom Xu Siyu knew, but she seemed to be fine and was leaning against a pillar to rest.

"Yiqing, you're here." Father Lin called out earnestly.

After Xu Siyu and Lin Yiqing quickly greeted Lin's father, they heard someone calling them from behind.

"Tongzhilang, Ruren, see you!"

The couple turned around and saw that sitting behind them were the prosecutors and their entourage.

The two of them quickly returned the greeting.

"What's the big deal? That's why Lord Cui has to step in?" After returning the greeting, Lin Yiqing asked Cui to take a seat while speaking.

"Master Lin, the Sheng and Pei families are accusing the Lin family's concubine of stealing the mistress's dowry..."

! !

Theft in the backyard? Wow, Xu Siyu understood, it was a counterattack in the family fight.

It was my sister-in-law's family who took action, and judging by the current situation, there is evidence.

As an impartial third party, Cui Tui Guan recounted the previous process in a simplified manner.

Make sure Xu Siyu and Lin Yiqing are aware of their current environment.

It turned out that before they came, Lin's father had already admitted to the embezzlement, apologized to his daughter-in-law in person, and promised to make up the compensation. However, the Pei family laughed at him for using the profits from the Pei family's dowry shop to compensate, saying that it was just a good show.

The Pei family wants to settle the debt, but they must first settle the grievances suffered by the Pei family.

The Lin family was forced to impose heavy penalties on those involved in the theft, and they demanded that Du, who had stolen the largest amount of the mistress's dowry, be changed from a good concubine to a lowly concubine, and that her indenture be handed over to the Pei family for safekeeping.

Lin's father had already lost all his face, so he agreed. However, Lin Wangyou held Du hostage tightly and refused to let anyone sign with him.

"Yiqing, please persuade your elder brother. Our Lin family and Pei family have been relatives for many years, and we cannot let the relationship get damaged."

Xu Siyu rolled her eyes and realized that Lin's father's intention was not to persuade his eldest son, but to drag them into the trouble.

Lin Yiqing saw Xu Siyu rolling her eyes, and he understood that he couldn't be too nice to his elder brother. He stepped forward and kicked his elder brother's shoulder, and quickly gave an order to the servants of the Lin family, "Pull the eldest young master aside!" First, he opened the scene of Lin Wangyou protecting his concubine.

"Second brother!" Lin Wangyou probably didn't expect that Lin Yiqing stood on Pei's side without even saying a word.

"Brother, 'wife' is the one you will spend your life with. Her dowry was stolen, and you didn't comfort her or punish the thief..."

"I asked the warehouse to deliver it, how can it be called stealing?"

"If you move, it won't be a theft, right?"

"In the past, Jingniang also allowed me to use the things in her warehouse."

"Then it depends on what it's used for."

The eldest brother of the Pei family jumped up from his chair. "The brushes, inkstones, books, and ancient paintings in my little sister's dowry were prepared by our family for my brother-in-law. With your status, we won't say anything if you take them. But the heart-shaped pendant and the mandarin duck buckle... these are recorded in the marriage certificate, belongings of husband and wife, and you stole them and gave them to a concubine... What do you think of our Pei family?"
