Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress-Chapter 27 - Cai Wei’s Conditions (2)_1

Are you in the second room blaming me for favoritism?

While I indeed gave the land and house to your eldest uncle, the expenses spent on your father were certainly not less.

I even pawned my dowry silver bracelet to finance your father’s schooling, the only piece of jewelry I had…”

By the end of her outcry, Lady Bai’s voice had become increasingly mournful.

It seemed she was verging on a torrent of sobbing.

She absolutely could not agree to this girl’s conditions.

Because their second son had defied his parents’ arrangements in his own marriage, he’s always felt guilty about it.

Thus, although on the surface they only gave them 200 copper monthly retirement money, in fact, she and her husband received more than four to five hundred copper from Mu Zhongqing each month.

Whenever they complained about headaches or backaches, they would demand money from Zhongqing.

Moreover, as a government scholar, all the grain Zhongqing received each month went into their hands.

Therefore, Lady Bai could never accept a treatment of only receiving 200 copper each month.

“Oh, my boy, how did you give birth to such an ungrateful and vicious girl?

She’s trying to break the bond between us…”

The grandmother wailed pitifully, alternating between blowing her nose and slapping her thigh.

“Enough!”

Cai Wei sternly reprimanded, “Venomous heart?

Mother-son bond?”

“Back then, Grandma intended to marry my father to the notorious Miss Huang from Neighbor village Huang for the sake of two acres of good fields.

With her bad reputation, despite the land, you were willing to ruin your son’s lifelong happiness, doesn’t this qualify as having a venomous heart?”

“And as for the mother-son bond—”

An ironic smile crept onto Cai Wei’s face: “A mother who is willing to sell her son for just two acres of land, what worth has this mother-son bond?

Nothing, it’s better if it didn’t exist!”

“You, you…”

Mu Bai was at a loss for words.

She didn’t know whether to cry or make a scene.

She just sat there tremulously pointing at Cai Wei, unable to utter a word.

Lady Du also looked surprised.

Her gentle Wei’er had become so sharp and eloquent, even capable of rendering her brash mother-in-law utterly speechless?

Cai Wei ignored Lady Bai’s emotional reaction and slowly extended a second finger to the members of the main household.

“Second: No one from the main household is allowed to set foot in my house again, nor find any reason or excuse to have any dealings with us.”

“Hehe, well done!

Getting so big for your boots that you don’t even acknowledge your ancestors, true to our Mu Family’s name!”

Mu Liankui sneered, his face a whirlwind of anger, bitterness, hate, and humiliation; turning from pale to red, then from red to purple, and finally to black—it was quite a spectacle.

“And the third?”

“Third: Grandparents, please write a marriage certificate for my parents to make them officially husband and wife.”

According to the laws of the Great Jin Kingdom, for a man and woman to become husband and wife, besides the official marriage certificate for government records, they also need a marriage document signed off by the parents of both parties.

Because the Mu Liankui couple always despised Lady Du, they refused to sign the marriage certificate.

Up to now, Lady Du’s status was still in limbo, which had always been a source of worry for her.

Without a marriage certificate, her status would be equivalent to a concubine.

The in-laws had once tried to engaged her to a butcher in her husband’s absence.

Although nothing came of it eventually, it had left a lasting shadow over Lady Du’s heart and had been a constant worry for her.

So when Cai Wei made this request, Lady Du felt her heart rise to her throat, nervously watching her in-laws, fearing that they would say ‘no’.
