Chapter 569: Rectifying the Dugu Family
"You..." Dugu Cheng was instantly speechless.
"Ying'er..."
"If you want the weapons I made, that's fine. Just pay with gold coins. You should know that the weapons I made more than a decade ago were among the best in Mo City." Dugu Ying interrupted Dugu Jia.
"By the way, she is not allowed to use the Dugu family's money. After all, she is not qualified as a concubine's daughter." Dugu Ying continued.
"Why don't you let me use the Dugu family's money?" Dugu Cheng on the side went crazy when he heard that.
"Just because of that, I don't want you to use it." Dugu Ying looked at her coldly.
"Dad..." Dugu Cheng stomped his feet towards the head of the Dugu family.
"Dugu Ying, don't go too far. I am the head of the Dugu family." The head of the Dugu family became angry when he heard this.
"You don't have to be either." Dugu Ying said slowly.
"You..." The head of the Dugu family was so angry that his whole body was shaking.
"I remember the second elder is in charge of money?" Dugu Ying said and asked her butler to invite the second elder over.
"What do you want to do?" The head of the Dugu family looked at Dugu Ying.
"I see that the dress Dugu Cheng is wearing, as well as the one she wore yesterday, are treasures from the Mo Family Workshop. The price of each set is no less than 10,000 gold coins. And the jewelry on her head is no less than one million gold coins. It's unreasonable for a concubine's daughter to be treated like this." Dugu Ying glanced at Dugu Cheng and said.
"A concubine's daughter? Who said I am a concubine's daughter? I have been a legitimate daughter for a long time." Dugu Cheng roared angrily when he heard this.
"Legitimate daughter? Without my permission, you will never become a legitimate daughter in your life." Dugu Ying looked at her coldly.
Dugu Cheng was about to argue something when he was pulled back by the head of the Dugu family.
"By the way, Master Dugu, I have sent people to take back all the land and properties that you secretly bought for Dugu Cheng, as well as the shops opened in her name." Dugu Ying spoke slowly.
The reason she knew about this was because the elders came to her to complain.
After Dugu Ying learned about this, he immediately sent people to recover the properties.
"That's mine. It's the dowry my father prepared for me. Why do you take it away?" Dugu Cheng's eyes were red with anger.
"As for the dowry he prepared for you, let him use his own private treasury to buy it. He actually used the Dugu family's money. You should know that only the eldest lady can use the Dugu family's money to buy a dowry." The eldest elder, who had just come over with the second elder, said coldly.
"Do you still take me, the head of the family, seriously?" The head of the Dugu family felt that he had reached his limit.
The two elders looked indifferent.
In the end, the head of the Dugu family could only sigh in frustration.
Although Dugu Ying once had more power than himself in the Dugu family, he would never do things beyond his control.
Sometimes when I go to her to discuss things, she would say, Dad is the head of the family, you have the final say.
Even though she knew that she doted on Dugu Cheng, she never said anything.
It seems that this time, after I knew her whereabouts, I didn't save her and I completely broke her heart.
"Dad, what should I do? Without those properties, Young Master Wu Hu won't marry me." Dugu Cheng was anxious.
"If he marries you for the property, then it's not worth marrying him." The head of the Dugu family looked at her.
"No, Dad. If I don't have those properties, I won't be able to snatch them from Mo Shu." Dugu Cheng was completely anxious now.
Yan Li: ...
It seems that Dugu Cheng is a hopeless love-brained person.
"Shut up!" The head of the Dugu family yelled at her, unable to bear it any longer.
"Second elder, in the future, if the head of the Dugu family uses a large sum of gold coins, he must ask clearly what the gold coins are used for. If they are not used for the family, he will not give them to them. Dugu Cheng is not allowed to use any gold coins without permission." Dugu Ying instructed the second elder.
"Yes, Miss, I will strictly enforce it." The second elder answered very happily.
"By the way, how much is Dugu Cheng's monthly salary now?" Dugu Ying asked.
"There is no specific number. She just takes whatever she needs." The second elder has long been dissatisfied with the speed at which Dugu Cheng spends money.
"From now on, I will give you 100 gold coins a month, no more." Dugu Ying said.
"One hundred gold coins? You're giving away beggars." Dugu Cheng roared when he heard it.
"It seems that you live a very extravagant life. It costs a hundred gold coins to send away a beggar." Dugu Ying looked at her coldly when she heard that.
"Why do you cut my expenses so much?" Dugu Cheng asked.
"You just sit and eat and wait for death in the Dugu family without making any contribution." Dugu Ying's eyes were full of disdain.
"Second Elder, how much is the monthly salary for the young masters and young ladies from the second and third houses?" Dugu Ying continued to ask.
"Thirty gold coins for the young master and twenty gold coins for the young lady." After the second elder said this, he looked at Dugu Ying.
"Why is it so little? I remember the previous rule was that the legitimate descendants, regardless of gender, would receive 500 gold coins per month, and the illegitimate children would receive 300 gold coins per month." Dugu Ying frowned.
"Miss, these are all the rules set by the patriarch." The second elder pointed at the patriarch Dugu who was standing aside.
"You are really a bad head of the family. Your concubine's daughter lives such a luxurious life, but you are so harsh to your brothers' children." Dugu Ying glanced at the head of the Dugu family.
"Butler, go and invite my second uncle and third uncle over." Dugu Ying instructed the butler beside him.
The butler took the order and went down.
"Cheng'er is your biological sister." The head of the Dugu family looked at Dugu Ying.
"I don't have that kind of useless sister." Dugu Ying's eyes were full of disdain.
"The concubines of the second and third wives all get 300 gold coins per month, why do I only get 100?" Dugu Cheng asked unconvinced.
"You've lived too extravagantly in the past ten years. It's already good enough to give you a hundred gold coins." Dugu Ying glanced at her.
Just then, two men walked in.
"Second uncle, third uncle." Dugu Ying called to them.
"Ying'er, you're back. It's good that you're back." Master Dugu looked at her gently.
"How come you've been away for so many years? During the time you were away, your identity was taken away by someone else." Master Dugu Sanye felt sorry for her.
"The stolen things are not hers after all. Now that I'm back, the thief will definitely be exposed." Dugu Ying's lips curled up into a smile.
"Second uncle, third uncle, I heard that the second and third branches suffered injustice during the years I was away." Dugu Ying looked at them apologetically.
"Ying'er, you just came back, so don't worry about these things for now. Just have a good rest." Master Dugu looked at her with concern.
"That's right. As your uncles, how can we let you worry about us all the time?" Master Dugu San said with a smile.
Dugu Ying looked at the calluses on their hands and knew that they had had a very difficult life over the years.
"Don't worry, uncles. I will immediately restore the treatment of the second and third wives." Dugu Ying looked at them.
"Okay." The Second and Third Masters Dugu smiled when they heard this.
Ever since they learned that Dugu Ying had returned, they knew that their hard days were finally over.
"Second Uncle, Third Uncle, keep these pills." Dugu Ying took out two bottles of body-toning pills and handed them to them.
