Chapter 494
Soon, many curious people followed behind them.
Fortunately, the Jingzhao Yin Mansion was not far from the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, and Li Yuyan and his party entered the Yamen not long after.
Driven by curiosity, the common people were kept quiet outside the gate.
When Mr. Zhao of Jingzhao Yin Mansion saw Ye Yiheng, Li Yuye and Ye Jiu, he quickly got up and got down from behind Sanchi Gongan.
"We have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Ninth Princess." Mr. Zhao bowed respectfully to them, "I have met Prince Li."
Ye Yiheng put his hand on Song Guo's arm and said softly: "No courtesy."
Mr. Zhao quickly ordered the government officials: "Look at your seat, look at your seat quickly!"
The yamen servants moved three chairs and invited Ye Yiheng, Ye Jiu and Li Yuye to take their seats.
Mrs. Li and Mrs. Feng stood aside and looked at each other when they saw the person coming.
"Is it possible that Mr. Zhao wants to show some mercy to Li Yuyan because of the arrival of His Highness the Crown Prince?" Mrs. Li began to question.
After Mr. Zhao sat back to sit down for the case, he slapped the alarm: "The old lady of Ningyuan Houfu and his wife have reported that Princess Beilan has embezzled the property of the Houfu. I hope the princess will return it in full!"
Li Yuyan adjusted her sleeves: "May I ask, sir, what property of the Hou Mansion have I misappropriated?"
Master Zhao looked at Feng's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law: "Which one of you can tell?"
Mrs. Feng thought that if she could get Mrs. Zhang's dowry back, she would be able to use it to hire a miracle doctor, so she said, "Sir, let me tell you."
Mr. Zhao nodded: "Madam, please tell me!"
Feng turned her head and saw that there were more and more people at the yamen gate, and sneered in her heart, Li Yuyan's reputation would be ruined today.
Even if Zhang's dowry was not returned, the fact that Li Yuyan was the child of her mother's accomplice would be known to the general public.
She turned back and said loudly: "Li Yuyan's biological mother, Mrs. Zhang, is the first wife of our Marquis. When a woman marries, she obeys her husband. Since Mrs. Zhang originally married our Marquis, the dowry she brought should naturally belong to her."
All owned by the Hou Mansion. You can go
When she was young, Li Yuyan was offered marriage to His Highness the Crown Prince for the first time. She relied on her backing to take back Zhang's dowry. Today, my mother-in-law and I reported on Li Yuyan and asked you to make the decision and let her take Zhang's dowry back.
Return your dowry!"
As soon as these words came out, some people at the door said, "Yes, after the dowry arrives at the husband's house, it is usually put into the palace and used together."
There is also a saying: "Anyway, as a family, we naturally use it together."
Li Yuyan smiled, she thought it was something.
"Sir, our Tiansheng law stipulates that the dowry brought by a woman when she gets married belongs to the woman herself. If she wants to support her husband's family, she can use it to supplement her husband's family, but the final decision rests with the woman herself."
Her words immediately caused the people to become confused and start talking.
"Is that really true?"
"We don't understand the law. We only know that a family's money belongs to that family."
Mr. Zhao looked at Ye Yiheng: "Your Highness, what do you think of this?"
There was no emotion on Ye Yiheng's face: "Master Zhao, just handle it truthfully and in accordance with Tiansheng's laws."
When people heard this, they exclaimed: "Look, His Royal Highness is fair and impartial and has not protected Princess Beilan!"
Mr. Zhao patted the gavel and said in a deep voice: "According to Tiansheng law, a woman's dowry naturally belongs to the woman. The husband's family, including the woman's husband, has no right to handle the woman's dowry."
Outside the gate, a woman pulled her husband's ear and said, "Listen, my money is still my money, it depends on whether I am willing to give it to you or not!"
Li Yuyan continued: "My mother once said that her dowry belonged to me and my brother Li Yi. Later, my brother Li Yi unfortunately died on the battlefield, and my mother said that her dowry belonged to me alone."
Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Li looked embarrassed. They made a mistake and ignored the legal matters.
At this time, Mrs. Li said: "Li Yuyan grew up in the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion until she was ten years old. In the past ten years, our Marquis' Mansion has provided her with food and clothing, spending a lot of money. Based on this alone, we want Zhang's dowry. It is not without reason.
That makes sense, right?" z.br
Feng quickly agreed: "Li Yuyan is the biological daughter of the King of Zhenbei, not the daughter of our Marquis. The Marquis has raised her as a legitimate daughter, so the expense is naturally much higher.
Don’t let anyone be unfair because of Li Yuyan’s current status!”
Mr. Zhao hissed and thought to himself, this matter is difficult to handle!
"It's true that I got back part of my mother's dowry last year, but it's also true that part of it was swallowed by the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion and has never been spit out." Li Yuyan said calmly, "Today, I want to get back the rest of my mother's dowry. Please make your decision."
!」
"Of course, they said it cost money to raise me for ten years, so how much money did I spend in ten years? And how much of it came from my mother's dowry. And then count the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the Hou family who swallowed me up.
How much dowry is my mother’s? After the two are offset, how much will the Hou Mansion have to pay back to me?”
Mr. Zhao nodded: "That's it!"
Li Yuyan smiled lightly: "Ningyuan Marquis's monthly salary is six taels, and the concubine's wife is six taels. The seasons change every year, and there are three new sets of clothes. These accounts can still be calculated clearly."
As she spoke, she grimaced: "And my mother's land deeds for the shop were swallowed up by her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Just one shop can offset ten years of expenses. Do I still need to explain these accounts one by one?"
Feng frowned and said: "After all, you are not the daughter of my Marquis, but Zhang's child. This alone is Zhang's indiscretion. How can a disorderly woman have the right to keep her dowry?"
To my daughter?"
"My mother-in-law, I don't allow you to comment!" Ye Yiheng said coldly, "Besides, no matter what happens to a woman, we cannot deprive her of her right to handle her dowry!"
Mr. Zhao said: "This is what the law stipulates!"
Feng was not convinced, and turned to the common people and said loudly: "Everyone knows that this Princess Beilan was born from a stolen person by the Zhang family, and the person who stole it is the King of Zhenbei!"
Even if she couldn't get the money, she still wanted to offend Li Yuyan!
Li Yuye snorted and scolded: "My son's father and the late Madam of the Hou Mansion were framed by someone. The stepmother of the Hou Mansion said so. This prince has reason to believe that when you were still your aunt, you wanted to frame your mistress and embezzle the mistress."
Mother’s dowry, is this a trick?”
Li Yuyan couldn't help but nod: "Brother is right. Feng's thoughts were not right when she was still an aunt!"
Ms. Feng was furious when she heard this. She hurried to the door railing and said to the people: "Come on, everyone!"
To the surprise of Mrs. Li and Mr. Feng, the people shook their heads.
"We ordinary people are neither deaf nor blind. We have already known what Mrs. Houfu said. Last year, wasn't there a big fuss about the princess's life experience?"
"The princess' biological mother is gone long ago. She is the deceased, so we cannot comment on her character. But King Zhenbei is our God of War in Tiansheng. As long as he is here, the northern countries will not dare to invade. He is a good man!"
"Yes, King Zhenbei has only one woman, the princess, by his side. How many men are better than this alone? If King Zhenbei is a man who covets beauty, how can he only have the princess alone?"
