Chapter 214 Hongmen Banquet!
The banquet was very grand, with three or four tables of people seated. Of course, they were all relatives of the Sima family. After everyone was seated, Li Qingwan personally poured wine for her uncle.
"Uncle, how about you try this wine?"
Lord Li picked up the wine glass and motioned to Li Qingwan, "Pour a glass for your mother-in-law as well!"
"Yes!"
"No need for that, I'm taking medicine and can't drink!"
"Mother, you must drink this glass of wine today!"
Li Qingwan personally poured a glass of wine for the old lady, while Madam Sima was somewhat dissatisfied, but she did not dare to show it in front of Lord Li, for fear that Lord Li would know that they were criticizing Li Qingwan.
"OK then!"
"All the Sima family's relatives are here today. Li Qingwan would like to toast all the uncles and aunts with a glass of wine!"
Li Qingwan's sudden words also made everyone stop and prepare to pour wine to toast her, "Qingwan, you have worked hard, you are really a good daughter-in-law of the Sima family!"
"Yes, ma'am, you are so lucky to have such a capable daughter-in-law who has brought her business to the palace!"
The Sima family's relatives seemed to be congratulating each other when they spoke, but upon closer listening they were all filled with naked jealousy. They were all jealous of Sima Yue, who had been idle but had a good wife and had brought the Sima family from being heavily in debt to its current state.
"Haha, I also want to thank Lord Li for raising such a good niece!"
Lord Li sneered when he heard this, "You are too polite, old lady. As long as you treat Qingwan like your own daughter, I will be satisfied. Her parents died early, and I, her uncle, am her support. If anyone dares to bully her, they have to ask me, her family, whether I agree or not."
Suddenly, the atmosphere on the scene became a little tense, and Madam Sima did not expect that Lord Li would actually warn them in front of their relatives?
What does this mean? Could it be that Lord Li knows something?
"Uncle, I treat Qingwan very well. If you don't believe me, you can ask her. Qingwan, is that right?"
Sima Yue was still trying to fool Li Qingwan's uncle, but Li Qingwan just smiled and said, "Ayue is right, uncle, the Sima family has been very good to me and has almost squeezed out all the value that I can use."
what?
Suddenly, these words made Sima Yue's face darken suddenly, "Qingwan, what are you talking about?"
Madam Sima also looked at Li Qingwan coldly, "Qingwan, have you drunk too much? Don't talk nonsense!"
But Li Qingwan suddenly laughed, "I am so happy today, I am a little rude, please forgive me, dear relatives!"
"I told you, Qingwan is the mistress now, how can she be wronged?"
"Isn't it? She's so capable, who would dare to let her suffer?"
As expected, all the relatives of the Sima family spoke for the Sima family, and when the old lady Sima saw that the time had come and did not want to drag it on any longer, she signaled Sima Yue with her eyes, asking him to urge Li Qingwan to hand over the property!
"A Yue..."
"I know!"
Sima Yue immediately walked to Li Qingwan and whispered, "Qingwan, didn't you say that you would transfer all the property under your name to me in front of all the relatives? After today, you can stay at home and take care of your husband and children!"
Sima Yue, the scumbag, couldn't wait any longer, and Li Qingwan smiled evilly, raised her eyes and looked at him coldly, "A Yue, what are you panicking about?"
But Sima Yue couldn't wait any longer. In order to force Li Qingwan to hand over the property to him quickly, he suddenly walked onto the stage and said, "Everyone, today during the banquet, I would like to invite uncles and aunts to our house for a chat. In addition to reminiscing about the past, we also have to announce something. Qingwan is going to transfer the dowry under her name to me. In the future, I, Sima Yue, will be fully responsible for the affairs of the Sima family, and she..."
Sima Yue narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled, "She wants to retreat behind the scenes to take care of her husband and children, and give me a few more fat boys!"
"Qingwan is really enlightened. A woman should take care of her husband and children!"
"That's right, we should have done this a long time ago!"
In the crowd, everyone was whispering that Li Qingwan's decision was right, while Li Qingwan, as the person involved, stood motionless beside the table. Sima Yue stood on the stage, looking somewhat like Xiu'er.
"Qingwan, we can start now!"
"Qingwan, do you want to transfer your property to Sima Yue?"
Lord Li naturally disagreed after hearing this. How could she do such a stupid thing? What if the Sima family had second thoughts about her in the future? Would she have no bargaining chips at all?
But after hearing what her uncle said, Li Qingwan smiled and said, "Uncle, don't worry. Ah Yue is my husband. What's mine is his, isn't it?"
"you……"
"Don't worry, my dear relatives. Ah Yue will treat Qing Wan well. Qing Wan is a woman. After all, she should stay in the deep house to serve her parents-in-law. Showing up in public is not a long-term solution. Besides, as the elders, we should not get involved in their affairs. What do you think?"
Madam Sima's words made Lord Li very unhappy, but he did not show it. He just looked at Li Qingwan with a complicated expression, "Qingwan, have you thought it through?"
"Don't worry, uncle. Qingwan has been thinking about this for a long time. Today will be the day for the conclusion."
What, finished?
"Qingwan, why don't you come up?"
Sima Yue was waiting for her to go up and personally hand over the shops and properties under her name to her, and Li Qingwan did not disappoint him and immediately asked Ah Qing to prepare a box.
"Ah Qing, bring it here!"
"Ma'am, the house deed and the land deed are inside."
Look, everyone's eyes are on the box that Li Qingwan is holding. The box is made of rosewood and is very delicate, just like a treasure chest.
Li Qingwan held the box and walked towards Sima Yue step by step. Seeing this scene, old lady Sima was even more delighted. She was about to succeed.
She has endured enough these days!
"Madam, what's in there..."
"That's a treasure chest!"
She knew that Li Qingwan's parents had brought a lot of good things, but that woman suddenly stopped giving them the money. Even Run'er's medical expenses were paid by her. So this time, she wanted Li Qingwan to return everything. As long as she saw her hand over the property to her son with her own eyes, she would feel relieved.
"Qingwan, come up quickly!"
Go up, go up quickly!
Xiuzhu on the side was also very excited. She was also looking forward to today's grand event. That was great. As long as A Yue took all her properties, those properties would belong to her and her son sooner or later!
When Xiuzhu thought of this, she felt very happy. Li Qingwan also walked slowly to the stage under the watchful eyes of everyone. Then, she announced in front of everyone, "From today on, I, Li Qingwan, will stop cooking. Everything in the Sima family will depend on Sima Yue in the future."
Her words sounded like she was going to give up, which made Sima Yue unhappy. He hurriedly wanted to reach out to take the box in her hand, because that was all the property!
"Qing Wan, you can't say that. Even if you are the one who takes care of your husband and children, you still have to help your husband. After all, there are many things I don't understand."
Li Qingwan held the box high up and motioned for him to take it. "Ayue, all the shops and gold and silver under my name are in here. Come and take it!"
Sima Yue's eyes were filled with greed. Just as he was about to reach out to take it, Li Qingwan suddenly threw the box heavily to the ground. Instantly, the box broke into pieces, and the white paper inside flew everywhere...
"Sima Yue, you don't deserve it!"
