Chapter 51: Be Obedient, Don’t Move II
"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?
"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!
