Chapter 649: The Sister Who Married in Place of Others 4
"Dad, I beg you, please think of a solution. I really don't want to get married." Guo Yueqing knelt on the ground and begged.
Li Rumei also helped to ask for marriage: "Master, just think of a solution. How can our precious daughter marry such a cancer?"
Guo Yan glared at Li Rumei and said, "Then go and think of a solution. Didn't you go to the General's Mansion a few days ago? Your elder brother may have a solution."
Li Rumei was extremely worried, but of course there was nothing she could do. If there was a way, she wouldn't have let her daughter cry and beg here.
Guo Yan angrily asked someone to take Guo Yueqing back to his yard and keep her under guard. He didn't want to care about it anymore. He thought, let's talk about the future later.
In the days that followed, no matter how Guo Yueqing made a fuss, it was of no avail. Guo Yan was determined to ignore her, and Li Rumei had no choice.
So he stopped visiting her and just gave her more dowry, hoping that his daughter would have a better life.
It was almost the seventh day, and Luo Chen was about to be buried. On the sixth night, Luo Chen went to the warehouse of the Bo Mansion and moved out all the things in the warehouse.
All the family fortune worth millions became Luo Chen's. As for the masters' private treasury and Li Rumei's dowry, she did not touch them. After all, she still had to live her life.
If everything has moved out and the family can't make ends meet, they will report it to the authorities and claim that their property and dowry have been stolen, making it impossible for them to get married. That would be terrible.
As for the rest, we have to wait until Guo Yueqing gets married successfully.
Just as she reached the gate of the yard and was about to lie down, she remembered Xi Que, the personal maid who killed the original owner's mother, Aunt Fang. Luo Chen felt that she had to take revenge.
Because Guo Yan disliked the fact that Aunt Fang died on his birthday and thought it was unlucky, he asked someone to get rid of Aunt Fang as soon as possible, so Li Rumei took the opportunity to suppress the matter.
Xi Que also escaped the disaster and was immediately released and became the second wife of the owner of one of Li Rumei's dowry shops.
Now the couple runs the shop together, and they have a daughter named Sun Danying, who is fourteen years old this year. She was sent to work as a maid for Li Rumei.
He also had three sons, born to the shopkeeper's ex-wife, but Xi Que was injured when giving birth to Sun Danying, so he only had this one daughter in his life.
He went straight to the eldest lady's yard and woke up Li Rumei. The moment she saw her, Li Rumei was about to call out, but was bewitched by Luo Chen.
Then he asked her to include Sun Danying as Guo Yueqing's dowry and send them to Qian's house together, and watched Li Rumei write Sun Danying's name on the dowry list.
Luo Chencai went to the servants' room, looked at the sleeping Sun Danying, and fed her a beauty pill, promising that she would become more and more beautiful in the future.
After doing all this, Luo Chen lay back down. Early the next morning, he was dragged out by servants and buried. From then on, there was no more Guo Luochen in Kyoto.
After she climbed out of the coffin, she returned to the capital disguised as a man and got an identity certificate.
Then he rented a courtyard with two entrances, hired a few maids and old women to serve him, and stayed in the capital.
The first thing was to disguise himself as a servant of the Earl's Mansion and drink with others.
He exaggerated and spread out every word that Guo Yueqing said to disparage the girls from the Guo family's side branches.
Finally, these words were heard by the side branches, and the tribesmen were immediately furious. They called them poor and their daughters would never be able to marry into a good family in the future.
Suddenly, Guo Yueqing's reputation was completely ruined among these people, and even these words reached the ears of the Qian family.
In an instant, Qian's mother was so angry that she went to the palace to complain to her daughter, saying that the daughter of the Guo family looked down on their Qian family. Concubine Lan was also so angry that she even felt a stomachache.
I just said that I would teach this bitch a lesson when I get home.
At this time, the Bo Mansion had been bombed and several warehouses had been emptied. Li Rumei was preparing a dowry for her daughter these days and had also notified several families who were going to receive the dowry.
Make good preparations. When Sun Danying found out that she was also a dowry maid, she immediately asked someone to tell her family to come and rescue her.
She didn't want to accompany the second young lady to marry into such a family. Her goal was to become the concubine of the eldest young master in the mansion.
When Xi Que received the letter, he and Shopkeeper Zhou immediately rushed into the mansion to plead with Li Rumei, but as soon as the couple entered, they found the mansion in chaos.
It turned out that this morning Li Rumei was preparing to take out the items on the list, but the moment she opened the warehouse.
There was nothing inside, it was completely empty. He was so shocked that he called someone over.
When Guo Yan heard the news, he hurried over. When he saw the empty warehouse, he immediately became furious and arrested the person guarding the warehouse and tortured him severely.
When questioned about the things in the storehouse, the two servants cried and said that they did not take them. Guo Yan then ordered a search of the entire mansion.
I also searched the homes of several servants, but found nothing.
Li Rumei hurried to check her warehouse. The things inside were still there. She breathed a sigh of relief and asked someone to keep a close eye on it to prevent the thief from stealing again.
Then the entire Earl's Mansion began to catch the thief in a big way, and even asked the yamen runners from the Kyoto government office to investigate, and finally everything was found out.
At this time, Manager Zhou did not dare to offend the eldest lady, for fear that he and his three sons would be implicated because of a daughter.
Xi Que only had this one daughter and was very worried, but there was nothing he could do because Manager Zhou locked her up and wouldn't let her go.
Concubine Lan and the Qian family were becoming increasingly dissatisfied with the Bo Mansion. They believed that such a big incident happened because Guo Yueqing was unwilling to marry.
Because the storehouse in the mansion had been emptied, her dowry had to be paid from Li Rumei's dowry, which also included several farms and shops that had been prepared for her.
But because the family has no money, these money-making things cannot be given away, and Li Rumei still has two sons.
So he only gave Guo Yueqing 10,000 taels as a dowry, because all the things he had prepared before were gone, so he had to make them again to make them look better.
It cost seven or eight thousand taels of silver to get the daily necessities, clothes, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc.
In the end, only a little over 1,000 taels of silver were left as a safe deposit for Guo Yueqing. Looking at her meager dowry, Guo Yueqing ran back crying.
On the wedding day, even though she was reluctant to get married, Guo Yueqing was sent to the bridal sedan and married into the Qian family. Originally, the dowry was prepared to be sixty-six people.
Now it can only be reduced to twenty-four. The boxes look big and full, but upon closer inspection, they are all ordinary things, totally unbecoming of a lady's status.
Qian's mother was very dissatisfied with the dowries and there was no smile on her face. That night, Qian Fugui was also dissatisfied because he had heard Guo Yueqing's words of disdain for him.
He was not in a good mood towards her and was very rude to her that night, causing Guo Yueqing to faint from the pain. She did not even wake up until dawn the next day.
He was called by Qian's mother and went to the main courtyard to set the rules.
