Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“You’re talking nonsense!” Bai Zhi’s face changed in color, but very quickly eased up. She used her gaze full of hatred to stare at Bai Yan. “You were the one unwilling to wear those jewelry and in the end, you are falsely accusing my mother of not giving you any.”
The corner of Bai Yan’s lips curled into a smile as she swept a cold glance at Bai Zhi’s angry little face. “Since that is the case, then Maternal Grandfather, bring out the dowry list you prepared for Mother back then. According to the rules, if a mother passes away, her dowry is to be inherited by her biological sons and daughters. Now that I am of age, I am eligible to inherit her dowry.”
Men were allowed to marry three wives and four concubines, so things like loving the wife and killing concubines had also happened before.
In order not to allow the wives’ properties to fall into the hands of the sons and daughters of concubines, this was the rule that was put in place. Once the biological children of a wife was of age, the dowry needed to be passed on to the biological children to manage.
Hearing this, Bai Zhenxiang and Bai Zhi’s expressions changed greatly.
“Alright.” Old Master Lan harrumphed. “All those dowry were filed in the etiquette department. At that time, I will ask them back from the Bai family according to the financial statements on the list!”
Bai Zhenxiang was very angry. Did Bai Yan, this rebellious hindrance, really wanted to find fault with him?
The dowry had long been spent finished? Where on earth was he to bring them to her? 1
“Bai Yan.” Nangong Yi could not continue watching and his hateful gaze turned to Bai Yan. “Your father is the Bai family head. You had firstly attacked him and now you are still aggressively forcing him? Don’t you feel that you are being too much?”
The Bai Yan back then had the body of trash, but her character was kind. Now, she was actually so arrogant, hateful, and was even muddled in messy waters with Marquis Cang.
He was not bothered to take a second look at such a girl, no matter how beautiful!
“I am merely wanting back the dowry. How has it become aggressively forcing him? Could it be that Crown Prince does not acknowledge the rules our ancestors have put in place?” Bai Yan indifferently swept a glance at Nangong Yi, her tone cold.
Nangong Yi’s handsome face turned livid. How would he dare to admit that he did not acknowledge the rules? However, thinking of Bai Yan’s high and mighty attitude, he was extremely angered and reached a tipping point!
“Bai Yan, the Bai family head and Madam Bai have very trustworthy characters. Your mother’s dowry is in their hands. They would definitely not simply use it. On the contrary, if the dowry was passed on to you, wouldn’t it be just used by you to raise some other men?” he said with gritted teeth.
This sentence was also telling Di Cang how wicked of a character Bai Yan was!
Bai Yan laughed lightly. “A b*stard who relied on a woman to build his family and then falling out without acknowledging the person who helped after building his family-do you think his character is trustworthy?”
“Bai Yan, since when have you become so calculative?” Nangong Yi shook his head in disappointment. “Immediately kneel down and apologize to the Bai family head. Perhaps the Bai family head would forgive you for your faults!”
At this time…
A large hand suddenly stretched out from behind and ruthlessly scoped Bai Yan into his embrace. That man’s domineering, cold, and gloomy voice rang out in this quietened banquet hall.
There was a pin drop silence.
“I never knew that my woman would reach a point of having to apologize to a small little ant.”
Nangong Yi saw the man who was looking down at him and his expression instantly changed.
“Di Cang!” he gnashed his teeth as he said these two words angrily.
Di Cang raised his eyes to sweep a gaze at Nangong Yi.
With this gaze, suppression naturally formed. Nangong Yi’s face turned pale and he found it hard to breathe.
“Be obedient, don’t move.” Di Cang felt the restlessness of the woman in his arms. He gripped her hand tightly and said in a low voice which only the two of them could hear, “If your beautiful little hand was cut off, then it wouldn’t be perfect anymore…”
Bai Yan was a little angry. This man either wanted to cut off her leg or her hand. Especially with this tone he used, it was as if he was placating a small pet.
