C11 (2/2)

In Little Zhou Country, only servants who sold their bodies could be allowed to be killed by the main house. Even if it was a thief, as long as it was a good citizen, they had no right to handle it in private.

”You, you …” No matter how foolish Madam Huang was, she could tell that something was amiss. This little bitch had clearly come prepared! Just tell me why she insisted on keeping her last night!

”All of you, get out!” Madam Huang couldn't help but ask.

maidservant exchanged a glance and retreated obediently.

Bai Zhiling's feet moved and knocked the man out.

Only two people remained awake in the room.

”Tell me, what do you want to do?” Madam Huang still couldn't figure out how her plan had been seen through by Bai Zhiling, that idiot.

Sitting here negotiating meant that they were completely falling out with each other, and there was no need to pretend.

”To get back what belongs to me.”

Madam Huang sneered disdainfully. What do you have in the Duke Mansion … ” However, she stopped midsentence and looked at Bai Zhiling with a ferocious expression.

It was true that Bai Zhiling did not have much on the Duke Mansion, but her mother, the Jiang family did.

Jiang Family was a family of the wealthiest in Jiangnan. Back then, when their daughter got married, the dowry made countless people envious.

Ever since the Jiang family passed away, her dowry was held in Madam Huang's hands. Even if Bai Zhiling were to marry, she had only taken out extremely rare items. The good items were either given to Bai Tinglan, or they were all kept in her own residence!

”You've thought of it?” Bai Zhiling was in no hurry.

Originally, she didn't plan to go this way. However, after thinking about what Madam Huang and her daughter had done all these years, if she really let them get away with it, then she would really let down her dead mother from before.

Therefore, it should be hers. She would definitely return with nothing left!

”I've already given you your mother's dowry.”

Bai Zhiling took out two sheets from her clothes at a leisurely pace.

”This is my mother's dowry list, and this is mine. I believe Mrs Duke Jingxi knows how much of the stuff is lacking.”

She still had a list!

Madam Huang widened her eyes in anger.

”Since you gave it to Bai Tinglan, I won't bother with it anymore. After all, she still has to burn incense in front of my mother's memorial tablet every new year. You know what to do with the rest.”

Madam Huang's heart was filled with hatred, but she didn't feel any pain even though her palm was bleeding from the pinching!

All those years ago, the dowry of the Jiang Clan was of the highest quality. She couldn't even bear to give Bai Tinglan more dowry. How could she throw up now?!

”Don't forget, who is in charge of Duke Jingxi Manor now!” As long as she dealt with all the distrustful people in the courtyard, no one would know! It wasn't impossible for him to blame Bai Zhiling at that time.

”Right now, it should be time for the assembly. Father will be back soon for breakfast, so mother should make up her mind earlier.” My skill is not that great, but it's not impossible for me to hold on until Father comes back. ” Madam Huang knew Bai Hexi better than anyone else that he would go back to his house to eat breakfast before going to work every day.

When Bai Hexi returned, there would be no one in the mansion, so he would definitely be suspicious.

”Wu …”

Before Madam Huang could finish her sentence, Bai Zhiling stepped forward and grabbed her throat.

It was so powerful that Madam Huang could barely breathe.

”You, you actually dare …”

”Don't test my patience!”

”Madam, Madam, the old master is back! The old master is back!”
