Chapter 183 Disowning six relatives
Chapter 183 Disowning six relatives
"Okay, no more nonsense." Rong Enqing sat back in his chair, picked up the teacup and took a sip of the cold tea, and said coldly: "Forget about letting Yunhai adopt the Rong family's child, and Yunying's marriage. I will never agree to it!
"You owe the Yun family 22,000 taels of silver, remember to pay it back on time! Don't even think about paying less!
"Also, as for Rong Yuan's funeral, if you don't make trouble, I will let her be buried in a grand manner as the fourth wife of the Yun family. If you dare to act rashly and intend to harm Yun Hai and the Yun family, I don't mind writing a letter of divorce to a dead person! By the way, I will carry Rong Yuan and her coffin to your Rong family!"
"Rong Enqing! Are you still a human being?" Old Madam Rong was furious. "Yuan'er is dead, and you still want to divorce her? You are deliberately trying to make her die with regrets!"
"Tsk tsk, look at what you said! I've made it very clear, as long as you don't make trouble, Rong Yuan can be buried in peace. But from what I hear from the old lady, it seems like she's planning to make trouble!"
Rong Enqing concluded sarcastically, "So, the ones who really don't want Rong Yuan to live in peace should be you, right?"
"Little sister, why are you so aggressive?" Rong Minglang frowned, and the gentle expression on his face could no longer be maintained.
"Alright, Minister Rong, right now, you must have wanted to cut me into pieces. Why do you still have to pretend to be a brother to me?"
Rong Enqing smiled and said, "So, you should just call me Madam. This way everyone will feel more comfortable."
Rong Minglang was startled, then asked seriously, "Are you going to draw a line between you and us, and the Rong family?"
"You're right!" Rong Enqing cast an admiring look at Rong Minglang, "To be honest, I feel annoyed when I see you guys now! I wish I could stay away from you guys! What do you think of me? I'm probably not much better!
"So, let's stay away from each other. Otherwise, we will get tired of each other!"
Seeing that Rong Minglang wanted to say something, Rong Enqing didn't even give him a chance and quickly added, "If Minister Rong is still thinking of getting along with me and then looking for opportunities to gain benefits from me, I advise you to give it up as soon as possible.
"As for me, I am no longer the original Rong Enqing! I am now a heartless, selfish, and heartless person! If anyone wants to scheme against me or the people around me, I will risk my life to destroy their family and make their life worse than death!
"Even if that person is my biological elder brother, or even my biological mother, I will not acknowledge him at all!"
After these words came out, Rong Minglang also completely lost his temper. He looked at Rong Enqing with sinister eyes and said in a threatening tone: "You said such things, aren't you afraid that it will be spread to the ears of the Queen Mother and the Emperor?
"From what I know, the Shun'an Marquisate is not having a good time either. If His Majesty and the Queen Mother knew that the wife of the Shun'an Marquisate was so unfilial and rebellious, do you think the Shun'an Marquisate would have a good life in the future?"
Rong Enqing snorted disdainfully and shouted to the outside of the door: "Xiu Zhang."
Xiu Zhang walked in quickly and bowed respectfully, "Madam."
Rong Enqing pointed at Xiu Zhang and said to Rong Minglang, "Look, this is a lady-in-waiting in the palace, someone of His Majesty. He sent her to monitor me. My every move, every word, and every deed cannot escape His Majesty's surveillance."
Rong Enqing smiled and looked at Rong Minglang playfully, "Do you think what we just said will reach His Majesty's ears?
"You are the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, a third-rank official of the imperial court, yet you shamelessly plotted to take your son-in-law's property! How do you think the emperor would look at you if he knew?
"Do you think your future is still bright? Do you want to guess how long it will take for you to be banished from the capital?"
"Are you scaring me?" Rong Minglang's face turned pale. He glanced at Xiu Zhang with a scrutinizing look, and finally looked at Rong Enqing with an unfriendly look.
"Whether it's a scare or not, you can try it."
Rong Enqing looked so confident of winning that Rong Minglang was a little unsure whether what Rong Enqing said was true or not.
Seeing that Rong Minglang and Old Lady Rong were silent, Rong Enqing made the final decision: "There is nothing to say. You two can go home or stay to see Rong Yuan more. Please feel free to do so. My mother and I still have to arrange Rong Yuan's funeral affairs, so we will not accompany you."
As he said that, Rong Enqing winked at Xiu Zhang.
Xiu Zhang understood and stepped forward and said respectfully, "Madam Rong, Minister Rong, please come in."
The mother and son looked at each other, both with dejected expressions on their faces.
As the two of them walked out together, Rong Enqing ordered again, "Xiu Zhang, send someone to call Steward Lin."
"Yes."
Soon, Butler Lin arrived.
Rong Enqing personally ordered housekeeper Li to send people to each household to report the death. If anyone asked about the cause of Xiao Rong's death, they were to reply that it was an accident because the roads were slippery due to the snow.
After Butler Li left, he asked someone to call a few maids to embalm Xiao Rong's body and carry it to the prepared mourning hall.
After giving all the instructions, Rong Enqing had Yunhai and Yunying taken to change into mourning clothes.
When someone comes to pay their respects later, both the father and daughter will return the greetings in front of the coffin.
Just when Rong Enqing was busy arranging Xiao Rong's funeral, Rong Minglang helped Old Lady Rong back to Xiao Rong's side.
As soon as the two entered the house, Zhang came up to them quickly and asked hopefully, "How is it going? You don't have to pay back the money, right? Has Xu Ming's adoption been finalized? And have Yun Ying and Xu An's marriages, Yun Ye and Hui Er's marriages, all been finalized?"
When Rong Minglang heard this, he was immediately furious. He shook off Zhang's hand and said angrily, "Not a single one has been accomplished!"
Zhang's face was full of disbelief. "What do you mean? What do you mean nothing was accomplished?"
Rong Minglang let go of Old Lady Rong with a gloomy face and walked over to the side and sat down.
Zhang turned to look at Old Madam Rong, "Mother, what does my husband mean?"
Old Madam Rong's face was also extremely ugly. She glared at Zhang angrily, "That unfilial daughter didn't agree to anything! The money must be returned, and the adoption is off the table. Don't count on Yunying and Xu'an's marriage! Yunye and Hui'er... forget it! That unfilial daughter didn't even agree to Yunying and Xu'an's marriage, so how could she agree to let you marry Hui'er to her eldest grandson? Ha, that eldest grandson is the real Shun'an Marquis!"
"This, this..." Zhang said angrily, "Did my Yuan'er die in vain? If the Yun family hadn't wanted to divorce her, would Yuan'er have committed suicide? They won't give us an explanation?"
At this moment, Rong Minglang shouted impatiently: "Alright, stop talking! I have my own opinion on this matter."
This matter is definitely not over!
However, before that, he had to find out what the maidservant next to Rong Enqing was like. He also had to investigate the matter of Shun'an Marquis's Mansion.
You have to have bargaining chips before you can negotiate with others, right?
