MTL - Transmigrated As Cannon Fodder To Marry-Chapter 21
"It turns out that Jiang Jinyue's mother really moved the dowry of her deceased wife. I thought it was just for fun."
"Who dares to talk about this kind of thing for fun. Besides, if it's fake, I wouldn't dare to make such a big fuss. I heard that there have been many troubles."
"Seeing that there was no movement behind, I thought I had paid it back, but I didn't expect...Jiang Jinyue's mother is not thin-skinned."
"Emotional Jiang Jinyue usually wears what she steals from other people's dowries. I just said that she is all dressed in Jiangnan style."
"Like a mother, there must be a daughter. How could Jiang Jinyue not know about her mother stealing the dowry? She can wear it with peace of mind, so Jiang Jinyue is a thief just like her mother."
Jiang Jinyue looked around stiffly, everyone was discussing her, everyone was pointing fingers at her, those ugly words kept coming into her ears, Jiang Jinyue covered her head fiercely, "No, no, I'm not a thief, I'm not a thief, and I don't have the dowry of No Jiang Lin's mother."
"It's not me, I didn't do anything, it's all Jiang Lin, everything is Jiang Lin's trick," Jiang Jinyue said louder and louder as if seeking comfort, and at the same time saw Jiang Lin standing in the crowd.
Jiang Jinyue pointed at Jiang Lin sharply, "It's you, Jiang Lin, why did you want to kill me?"
More and more carriages arrived, but no one wanted to go in after the show started.
Jiang Lin was named, and he also fulfilled Jiang Jinyue's wish, walking straight in front of her. Jiang Jinyue's eyes were red, and she affirmed: "It really is you, Jiang Lin, why did I offend you? You have to spend so much time to harm Me, we are obviously brothers and sisters, aren't we?"
Jiang Lin smiled, like spring sprouting in his charming eyes, he asked softly, "Since we are real brothers and sisters, why don't we call them big brother now?"
"I remember the day you sent me to the bridal sedan chair, the big brother's cry was so sweet. My brother wants to hear it again, or my sister will call out twice."
The expression on Jiang Jinyue's face gradually changed from anger to panic and vigilance, "Jiang Lin, what else do you want to do?"
Jiang Lin moved closer to Jiang Jinyue's ear and whispered, "Guess?"
And behind Jiang Lin, facing Jiang Jinyue, there was a wooden board turned upside down, with a line of small characters written on it: I wish the eldest lady of Anyang Houfu a lonely life.
Others may not be able to see it, but Jiang Jinyue's position is clearly visible.
Jiang Jinyue's eyes widened suddenly, and then she took a few steps back, "Crazy, crazy, Jiang Lin, you crazy, you dare to curse me, you will die badly, my parents will never let you go!"
Jiang Lin also took a few steps back, spread his hands innocently, and raised his voice: "Sister, I admit that I hired these people, but you don't need to react so much, I'm just asking for a debt, how can you become a lunatic gone."
"Also, you keep saying that you are harming you, and there are many people here, so please everyone present be a witness. Let me ask you, did your mother steal my mother's dowry?"
Jiang Jinyue remained silent, while other spectators booed that they were willing to help the witnesses.
Jiang Lin: "If you don't say anything, I will take it as your acquiescence. Well, let me ask you again, did I go to the Hou's mansion to ask for it before, and gave your mother seven days to prepare for the return of the money?"
Jiang Jinyue still shook her head, "No, I don't know, I don't know anything."
Jiang Lin didn't agree with this, "Hey, the prince knows about this, how could you not know, you were there at the time."
Jiang Jinyue's eyes were red, as if she had suffered all the grievances in this world, she was weak and helpless, and Jiang Lin was a villain who bullied the poor little one.
"But your mother doesn't seem to take my words seriously. I haven't received the dowry she stole. I know Zhao's family is poor, and I can understand your mother's desire to subsidize her family. Is it okay to use other people's dowry to subsidize her family?" too suitable?"
"And it's not very good to hear about it. Your grandfather is a second-rank official in the imperial court after all. He relies on his daughter's soft food to support his family. His colleagues will laugh at him."
Jiang Lin said sincerely: "Give me back the dowry, it is my mother's relic after all."
Hearing the word relic, the ladies standing at the gate of the county palace began to discuss again, and some even yelled at Jiang Jinyue directly: "Hey, Jiang Jinyue, can you show some face to your mother? You all want to occupy, you are still not human."
Jiang Jinyue's pitiful image could hardly be maintained, "I didn't! I didn't touch any dowry and I didn't touch any relics, Jiang Lin, you can't slander me like this just because you hate me..."
Before she finished speaking, Jiang Lin suddenly reached out and pulled a hairpin from Jiang Jinyue's head. He held the hairpin in his hand and looked at it carefully, "It looks familiar, it's exactly the same as the hairpin in my mother's dowry Like, sister, which store did you buy this in Shengjing, why don't you take us to have a look?"
"Okay, okay, we also want to buy jewelry, Jiang Jinyue, please take us to see it," the lively little girl immediately booed, trotting to Jiang Jinyue's side to hold her arm.
Jiang Jinyue wanted to break free from the hand holding her arm, but the girl seemed to have expected Jiang Jinyue's thoughts, and tightly held her hand, determined not to let go.
The eyes of the others were also fixed on her, Jiang Jinyue couldn't get off the tiger, and said falteringly: "No, this hairpin is my mother... she asked someone to make it for me, not bought it in a shop."
"Oh? If I ask where and when it was made to order, will you say that it's been too long and you don't remember?"
"Jiang Jinyue, do you dare to swear to God that this hairpin was not taken from my mother's dowry? You don't have to be too harsh, just say that you will never be able to marry the person you love in this life."
"Fat, send, hurry up, you don't have a sweetheart anyway, who knows what kind of cat or dog you will marry in the future with the order of your parents and the words of a matchmaker. Just take an oath to prove your innocence, so as to preserve your reputation, how much Good thing." The little girl holding Jiang Jinyue's arm kept encouraging her.
Jiang Jinyue raised her eyes to meet Jiang Lin's gaze, and saw a smile in his eyes. Jiang Jinyue had a feeling of being seen through, as if Jiang Lin knew everything.
Jiang Jinyue didn't dare to swear, she shook her head and shed tears, "Big Brother, I'm your sister, why are you being so aggressive, do you really hate me that much?"
The pear blossoms were raining, crying so much that it made people feel distressed.
Jiang Lin snorted coldly, "Do you think you and your mother can deny the fact that you and your mother stole dowry by talking so much nonsense? Jiang Jinyue, if you ask me why I am aggressive, then I will ask you, why do you still have the face to cry? You do Wrong thing, I thought it would be fine if I cried twice, or did I want to cry for some passing man to act as a messenger of justice and accuse me of bullying girls?"
"Then you can cry as much as you want, cry louder, I want to see which stupid man will stand up for you Miss Jiang!"
Jiang Lin turned his head, glanced at the group of princes and young masters who arrived later, they stood behind to watch the fun, among them there were quite a few who didn't agree with Jiang Lin's attitude towards Jiang Jinyue, and wanted to speak for her, but because of Jiang Lin's stupid words Man, successfully stopped their footsteps.
I even felt that the way Jiang Lin looked at them was filled with the meaning that I think each of you is an idiot, so no one dared to make such a move...
There was a moment of silence at the scene, and because of this, Jiang Jinyue's crying sound was particularly obvious. While crying, she couldn't forget to argue for herself, "It's not me...I'm right...Why did big brother kill me..."
"What is this doing?"
Just as Jiang Jinyue was performing alone, a voice with aura suddenly came to mind.
Jiang Jinyue, who was crying and sad, raised her head in the midst of her busy schedule, and her grievances magnified infinitely after seeing the person, and she called out delicately, "His Royal Highness."
Wanting to refuse but still welcoming, wanting to say nothing, successfully made the wife frowned, with deep dissatisfaction, "Jiang Lin, what are you doing!"
And seeing the figure of the prince walking straight towards Jiang Jinyue, the same thought involuntarily flashed through the minds of those present, that the idiot man appeared.
Maybe this thought was too strong, and the way they looked at the prince was a little subtle.
But the prince didn't notice, he was staring at Jiang Lin, asking him to give an explanation.
What can Jiang Lin do? Naturally, he is satisfied. After saluting to the prince, he greeted Chang An, "Replay what happened just now to His Royal Highness. Remember, you must have enough momentum."
"No," Jiang Jinyue subconsciously stopped, not even bothering to cry.
Those words must not be heard by His Highness the Crown Prince, otherwise... Jiang Jinyue's face was pale, and she couldn't imagine what His Highness the Crown Prince would think of her and the Hou's House afterwards.
But would Jiang Lin be someone who would listen to her? Obviously, Jiang Jinyue didn't have that face, so the cymbals rang, and the slogan was shouted again, louder and more imposing than before.
Those boys and buddies who came later were all stunned, but they wanted to slap their hands and say hello. Fortunately, their rationality stopped their hands, but they were a little uncomfortable...
However, the person involved, Jiang Jinyue, was provoked no matter how embarrassing she was in front of her sweetheart, and she was already on the verge of collapsing.
The prince's complexion was not very good either, obviously such an antecedent was beyond his expectation.
Jiang Linquan pretended not to see the reaction of the two, and said to the crown prince: "Your highness, last time you refused to help the Hou Fu to return my dowry as a witness. Jiang Jinyue's mother is really shameless, and she hasn't returned it until now. I really have nowhere to go." That’s why I made this decision.”
The girl holding Jiang Jinyue's arm withdrew her arm at some point, but she was still standing next to Jiang Jinyue. After Jiang Lin finished speaking, she supported Jiang Lin, "His Royal Highness, you can't blame Young Master Jiang for this matter, but Jiang Jinyue She and her mother have a little remorse and shame, and today they will not wear the hairpin from someone's dowry to the banquet, it is the relic of Young Master Jiang's mother."
Although I don't know why this girl helped him, an enemy's enemy is a friend. Jiang Lin smiled at her, and then asked the prince carefully, "Your Highness, I just want to return my mother's belongings. Is there something wrong with that?"
But if the prince goes out with his brain today, it is impossible for him to say yes.
