Chapter 176 The Aggressive Rong Enqing
Rong Enqing looked at them sarcastically, "You guys are really calculating! You hurt my granddaughter, touched my family's property, and now you want to take Yunying's dowry?"
"Haha, tomorrow, are you going to marry another daughter to Yun Ye to seize the position of Marquis's wife?"
It was obviously a sarcastic remark, but when Zhang heard it, it made her eyes light up.
My sister-in-law married into the Marquis's mansion to be the Marquis's wife. My daughter can't become the Marquis's wife now, but my granddaughter can still be one! Think about it, Yun Ye is 8 years old now, and there is a little girl in their family who is a few years old. The age is just right, should we arrange a baby marriage first?
Apparently, Zhang was not the only one who thought this way. Xiao Rong also showed some interest on her face.
Only Mrs. Rong could hear the disgust in Rong Enqing's words. Just as she was about to say something to soften him, she heard Rong Enqing continue, "Are you guys really planning to take advantage of Yun Ye? Haha, you guys really make me sick!"
"How can you talk like that?" Zhang glared at Rong Enqing unhappily. "You have a grandson, and I have a granddaughter. We are of similar ages, so what's wrong with being close relatives? Why are we disgusting?"
Rong Enqing glanced at them coldly and said in a chilling tone, "You dare to plot against the Marquis' Mansion so blatantly and don't take me seriously at all. Are you relying on my good temper? Are you easy to bully? Or is it because my last name is Rong, so you want to use filial piety to control me?"
At the end of his words, Rong Enqing's gaze fell on Old Lady Rong.
Zhang and Xiao Rong are just fleas, annoying but not to be feared.
The only person Rong Enqing really cared about was Old Lady Rong. After all, she was the original body's biological mother, so he had to show some respect to her.
Of course, that has to be within her bottom line, otherwise, she will teach her what it means to be heartless.
Mrs. Rong frowned and looked at Rong Enqing gloomily, "What do you want to do?"
"Didn't I just say that?" Rong Enqing looked at Zhang coldly, "I want my sister-in-law to compensate Yunying for her ears!"
"This is impossible!" Old Mrs. Rong stood up from her chair.
Mrs. Rong had pretended to be unwell before, hoping to use filial piety to force Rong Enqing to give in. Mrs. Rong also spoke up at the right time to change the subject.
I thought the matter was over.
Unexpectedly, the topic came back around again.
After all, as long as Rong Enqing doesn't let go, this topic can never be avoided.
So, seeing Rong Enqing's firm attitude, Mrs. Rong stopped pretending and directly expressed her attitude.
"Is mother determined to side with my eldest sister-in-law?"
Rong Enqing also stood up and faced old lady Rong's fiery gaze, his momentum not weakened at all.
"So what?" Mrs. Rong said in a strong tone.
"Haha, in this case, I can only be unfilial."
Rong Enqing turned around and told Xiu Zhang who was standing beside him, "Go, call a few maids in."
"Yes." Xiu Zhang responded and came out. Not long after, he brought in four servants.
The four old women were all very strong and sturdy. It was obvious that they worked all year round and were very powerful.
"Go, catch him for me!"
Rong Enqing pointed at Zhang and gave instructions to several maids.
Seeing this, Zhang's face finally changed drastically. She asked in a trembling voice, "Rong Enqing, what do you want to do? Do you want to die? How dare you murder an official's family in broad daylight?"
Zhang was bluffing while hiding behind Old Lady Rong.
The maids were afraid of hurting Old Madam Rong, so they did not dare to step forward to catch anyone.
But Rong Enqing didn't say anything to stop them, so the maids, Zhang, Old Lady Rong and others were in a stalemate.
At this moment, Mrs. Rong finally looked at Rong Enqing with a sullen face and asked sternly, "What do you want to do?"
"You know very well that you can't possibly hurt your sister-in-law in front of me! What exactly do you want to do by deliberately acting like this? Tell me your purpose!"
At this moment, Zhang and Xiao Rong were both surprised, looking at Mrs. Rong and Rong Enqing in disbelief. They couldn't figure it out, how could all this be an act? Rong Enqing's murderous look didn't seem to be fake.
But at this moment, Rong Enqing smiled.
"Why would I need to act if my mother had shown this attitude earlier?"
Rong Enqing sat back in his chair with a straight back.
Old Mrs. Rong also sighed dejectedly and sat back.
Zhang and Xiao Rong breathed a sigh of relief, and after hesitating for a moment, they also retreated back to their original positions behind Old Lady Rong.
Several old women also stepped aside.
The tense atmosphere instantly dissipated.
"If you have any requests, you can tell me now." Old Mrs. Rong looked cold and her tone became distant.
Rong Enqing didn't care about it at all, instead he breathed a sigh of relief.
She was more used to dealing with an old lady who could weigh the pros and cons and knew how to give up her own interests. In this way, at least everyone was on an equal footing.
She would be embarrassed if Mrs. Rong really showed her a loving mother-daughter drama.
"First, within ten days, return the 22,000 taels of silver that Zhang took from the fourth room! I wonder where this silver came from? What did Zhang do with it? Mother should know it very clearly."
Old Mrs. Rong’s eyes darkened.
Of course she knew! The money was collected by Xiao Rong from selling the properties of the four wives and adding the cash of the four wives. As for where it went, it was naturally used to buy the big house where they were living now.
When the Rong family decided to move to Beijing as a group, they considered the issue of housing.
But they also knew about the housing prices in Beijing.
Although the Rong family had some assets, if they really had to spend tens of thousands of taels to buy a house, it would be a huge expense.
Therefore, when it came to choosing who should go to Beijing in advance to buy a house, Zhang took the initiative to come, and no one in the family objected.
Because, although Zhang was confused and had a bad temper, she had one advantage, which was that she was loyal to the Rong family and would get money from them.
Therefore, no matter whether it was from Rong Enqing, the sister-in-law, or from Rong's daughter, everyone believed that Zhang would be able to get the big house that Rong's family needed with the least amount of money.
The fact was just as everyone expected. Zhang used the three thousand taels of silver given by the Rong family to buy a mansion worth twenty-five thousand taels of silver.
If Rong Enqing didn't say anything, everyone could pretend that they didn't know anything and cover up the matter of buying the house.
But now, Rong Enqing brought up this matter!
Mrs. Rong looked unhappy, and Zhang was even more furious. She stood up and pointed at Rong Enqing and cursed, "What does this have to do with you? If you don't use the money to buy a house to honor your parents, can you stop my daughter from honoring her elders?"
Rong Enqing winked at Xiu Zhang.
Xiu Zhang nodded and waved to the two maids. The two maids understood and followed Xiu Zhang.
Xiu Zhang walked up to Zhang, bowed, and said respectfully, "Mrs. Zhang, I'm sorry."
