Chapter 142 Don’t Think of Leaving Here Today
Thinking of this, Aunt Lan felt a chill in her heart and shuddered. But she quickly restrained her thoughts and pretended to be stunned, with her mouth slightly open and her eyes full of disbelief.
"The young lady has changed so much that I didn't recognize her for a moment. I wonder why she came here today?"
Shen Yunyu on the side said straight to the point: "Aunt Lan, we are here today to discuss the handover of mother's dowry."
Aunt Lan immediately pretended to be pitiful, gesturing with trembling hands. "Master, I have worked hard for the Shen family over the years. I have served the master and managed the affairs of the family. Even if I have no credit, I have worked hard. Now you come to ask for a dowry. Aren't you asking for my life?"
Shen Yiran snorted coldly, staring at Aunt Lan with a sharp gaze. "Aunt Lan, stop pretending. You have been bullying the Madam and her old friends in the mansion for years. Do you think we don't know? Mother's dowry originally belonged to us. You have no reason to occupy it."
Aunt Lan opened her mouth but no words came out and her eyes flickered.
She continued to cry unwillingly: "Miss, you can't wrongly accuse me. I never thought of occupying the lady's dowry. It's just that the expenses in the mansion are high, and I have no choice but to use the lady's dowry. Besides, the lady's dowry is not much..."
Shen Yiran took a step forward and waved the dowry book in front of Aunt Lan, with a slight smile on her face. "Aunt Lan, look at what this is? We already have mother's dowry book, and the details are clearly listed. If you know what's best for you, hand over the dowry quickly, otherwise we will tell my father and let him seek justice."
Aunt Lan's face suddenly darkened, and she thought to herself that something was wrong. "She had searched the house from top to bottom before but couldn't find the booklet. How could it be on this little bitch?"
She forced herself to remain calm and said slowly, "Then how can you be sure that the dowry book in your hand is not a forgery?"
Shen Yiran sneered in her heart, "This woman is really good at handling things!" She raised her chin slightly, her eyes revealing determination and confidence.
"Aunt Lan, do you think that a random question can change the facts? This dowry book is stamped with the government seal. Do you want us to go to the government office together to check it?" Shen Yiran deliberately prolonged the last syllable and looked at her provocatively.
Shen Yunyu also glared at Aunt Lan, "Aunt Lan, please stop making trouble. Today, for the sake of father, as long as you hand over mother's dowry in full, we will not pursue the matter. Otherwise..."
Aunt Lan's face became uglier and uglier, and she was in a panic. Suddenly, she grabbed Shen Yunyu's hand and said in a trembling voice: "Yunyu, since the death of the lady, you have been raised by Aunt. How can you force Aunt like this?"
Shen Yunyu pulled his hand back with all his strength and said coldly: "From the moment you hired someone to kill me, there is no longer any affection between you and me."
Seeing the resolute attitude of the brother and sister, Aunt Lan knew in her heart that it was useless to play the victim in front of them.
So, she immediately put away her pitiful look, her face darkened, and she said in a cold tone: "Today, I will give you the deeds of the shops and farms. As for the jewelry, some of them have already been used. I will give them to you after I have cleaned them up."
The brother and sister looked at each other, Shen Yiran raised her chin slightly, and said slowly: "Auntie Lan, you'd better ask Sister Yunqiao to copy a copy of the dowry book, in case you can't remember it by then, that would be bad."
Auntie Lan gave Shen Yiran a fierce look. Although she was extremely reluctant, she knew that she could no longer refuse, so she ordered the servants, "Go and call the young lady over."
After saying this, Aunt Lan stood up and walked towards the house with slightly unsteady steps. Her back seemed to carry endless reluctance and helplessness.
Soon, Shen Yunqiao came to the reception room. She first glanced around the room, and when she saw Shen Yunyu and Shen Yiran there, her eyes were instantly attracted to Shen Yiran.
A hint of shock flashed across Shen Yunqiao's eyes. She was really shocked by Shen Yiran's change.
In the past, Shen Yiran was recognized as an ugly monster by everyone, but no one would have thought that Shen Yiran now not only has a slender figure like a willow, but also has delicate facial features that seem to be carefully carved by God, and she exudes charming charm in every frown and smile.
Shen Yunqiao suddenly felt an indescribable discomfort in her heart, and the flame of jealousy burned in her heart. She hated, hated the injustice of fate, why Shen Yiran, as a legitimate daughter, could have such an outstanding appearance and noble status, while she was just a concubine, inferior in every way.
Thinking of this, Shen Yunqiao's eyes became even colder. A mocking arc appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said sarcastically, "Sister, why didn't the prince accompany you today? I've said long ago that the prince would get tired of you one day. Look, it's only been a short time since you got married, and you've been driven back?"
Shen Yiran's heart tightened slightly after hearing what Shen Yunqiao said, but her face remained calm. She looked at Shen Yunqiao coldly and said, "Stop talking nonsense. Aunt Lan asked you to copy a copy of my mother's dowry book to prevent you from defaulting on the debt."
Shen Yunqiao was so angry that she was shaking all over. She bit her lips tightly, her eyes full of anger. She was unwilling to obey Shen Yiran's orders, but she didn't dare to disobey her mother's orders.
Finally, she suppressed her anger and picked up a pen to copy the dowry book. Her hands were shaking slightly, and every stroke seemed to carry endless resentment.
As Shen Yunqiao was copying, she complained, "Why would I need to bring so much as a dowry? How long will it take to finish copying?"
Shen Yiran sipped her tea leisurely, "Sister, copy slowly, be careful not to make mistakes."
After Shen Yunqiao heard what Shen Yiran said, she felt even more resentful and held the pen tighter in her hand. She glared at Shen Yiran fiercely, but she didn't dare to get angry, so she could only continue copying.
As time went by, Shen Yunqiao became more and more irritated. She would stop writing from time to time, rubbing her aching wrist, and mumbling to herself.
Shen Yiran was still sipping tea leisurely, occasionally glancing at Shen Yunqiao with a hint of pride in his eyes.
Finally, Shen Yunqiao couldn't bear it any longer, she threw down her pen and stood up. "I won't copy anymore! How long will I finish copying!" she said loudly.
Shen Yiran put down the teacup, raised his head slightly, looked at Shen Yunqiao, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Sister, this is not up to you. If you don't finish copying, don't even think about leaving here today."
Shen Yunqiao was so angry that her face turned red. She pointed at Shen Yiran and said, "Don't go too far!"
Shen Yiran was not moved at all, "Too much? Sister, when you and your mother occupied my mother's dowry, did you ever think that it was too much? Now that I ask you to copy the dowry book, are you so reluctant?"
