♂?，，

  After strolling around for the whole afternoon, she returned to Ye's residence with a full load, had dinner, and then called Yinliu to lock the door. She spread out all her jewelry on the table, counting them repeatedly like a miser, feeling extremely happy. Alas, it has come to this... She used to think that she was born in a pile of money in her previous life and had become immune to wealth. At least, that's what she thought before coming to Ye's house. Perhaps it was the 3,000 taels of silver from Old Lady Ye that stimulated her desire for wealth again.

  The Qi family sent a set of gold and silver, Lin Lan didn't like the gold and silver very much, thinking it was tacky, so she didn't care about the style, just chose the heavy ones with more inlaid jewels. These would be her private property later, of course, the more expensive the better. Then she saw Li Mingyu's face getting darker and darker, and later he didn't even bother to look at her, directly walking away, letting her choose whatever she wanted. When it was time to pay, there were a few more things on his hand: a jade hairpin, a sheep fat white jade bangle, and several pearl flowers, including pomegranate stone, honey wax stone, and coral crystal. He asked the cashier to split them up for payment. The gold and silver jewelry was put on account, while the others were paid with silver tickets. Lin Lan's eyes widened at that moment, she didn't expect that the price of the sheep fat white jade bangle would exceed the total cost of all the gold and silver jewelry by a little bit. Li Mingyu was really generous, Lin Lan's good impression of him suddenly increased.

  Yinliu and Yurong used to serve Ye Lao Furen, they had seen all sorts of treasures, but the things Linlan spread out on the table were nothing compared to what was in Ye Lao Furen's room. Seeing Linlan's eyes shining brightly with excitement, Yinliu couldn't help but smile, thinking Linlan was quite amusing. But Yurong's heart sank, thinking that this Miss Lin must be from a humble background and had never seen the world. Although she hadn't been to the capital or met the mistress of the house, from the conversations between Ye Lao Furen and Zhou Ma, it wasn't hard to tell that the current mistress was a formidable figure. Could Linlang handle it? Yurong was very doubtful.

  "Miss, once you marry Master Mingyun, you'll have plenty of treasures." Yinyu saw that it was getting late and hugged a small trunk to help Linlan put things away.

  )

  "That's for sure, Old Lady Ye dotes on Third Miss the most. I heard that Old Lady Ye originally didn't agree to Third Miss marrying Master Li..." Silver Willow opened her mouth.

  "Silver Willow..." Yu Rong's face was stern, and she let out a low growl.

  Yinliu knew she had misspoken, and awkwardly smiled, asking Lin Lan: "Miss, I put the jade at the bottom, the gold in the middle, and the silver on top, is that alright?"

  Lin Lan uttered an "oh" and deliberately avoided looking at Yu Rong's gloomy face. Yin Liu was particularly close to her because of her sister's relationship, but Yu Rong wasn't. Yu Rong's attitude towards her was polite yet distant. Lin Lan wouldn't blame her for not being close to her, even if Yu Rong didn't like her, it was normal. People's relationships also depend on fate, as long as Yu Rong handled things seriously and didn't do anything to wrong her, that was enough.

  As for what good things Mingyun's mother left behind, Lin Lan wouldn't bother to think about it. She and Li Mingyun weren't really meant to be, so how could his mother's belongings possibly be given to her? She still had that much self-awareness.

  After serving Lin Lanxi, Yu Rong and Yin Liu returned to the Xiaotou House. Yu Rong solemnly warned Yin Liu: "Old Madam sent me to help Lin Gongzhu, it's not wrong to be close to Lin Gongzhu, but you should also have a number in your heart about what can be said and what cannot be said."

  Although they were both second-class maids, Yurong was two years older than Yinliu and had been born into the household, having stayed in the mansion longer than Yinliu. As a result, Yurong lectured Yinliu, who did not dare disobey.

  "Sister taught is, Yin Liu recorded."

  Yu Rong's expression eased, and she said: "Miss Lin should know what to do and what not to do. Young Master Ming Yu and the old lady have their own decisions. We just need to take good care of Miss Lin. It's better for us not to worry about things that are not our concern."

  Yin Liu nodded repeatedly.

  At this time, Ye Lao's wife's room was very lively.

  Qī shì brought Yè Kē ér and Yè Xīn ér to pay respects to Old Lady Yè, and saw that Lǐ Míng yǒu was also there. Qī shì smiled and asked: "Why didn't Lin Lan come?"

  Before Li Ming could respond, Ye Kui'er said sarcastically: "Exactly, didn't even come to pay respects to her grandmother, after all, she's just a rustic village woman who doesn't understand etiquette."

  Li Mingyun's eyes turned cold, his face showing displeasure, and he said lightly: "Lin Lan sprained her foot, I told her to take a good rest."

  Ye Xiner heard this and felt a sour taste in her heart. She looked at Li Mingyun's eyes, which couldn't help but contain a hint of resentment.

  "Qi's family scolded Ke'er: 'What kind of rural village woman are you? Lin Lan is your aunt, and if you continue to be so unruly, mother won't forgive you.'"

  Her mother, who had always doted on her and never uttered a harsh word to her, was now scolding her in front of so many people because of Lin Lan. Ye Ke'er found it hard to bear, her heart filled with resentment and injustice, but she didn't dare be presumptuous in front of her grandmother, so she pouted, looking pitiful and on the verge of tears.

  The whole Ye family, only Old Lady Ye, Zhou Ma and Old Master Ye knew what kind of relationship Lin Lan and Li Mingyu had. Others were inexplicably accepting this sudden reality, it was normal to have thoughts in their hearts. However, from this, many things that are not usually clear can also be seen.

  Mrs. Ye was on the one hand appreciative of Madame Qi's magnanimous temperament, and on the other hand deeply worried about Ye Ke'er's unbridled tongue. A daughter who grew up in a sheltered environment and was overly pampered would find it difficult to adapt to her husband's family after marriage, where one careless remark could stir up trouble and lead to calamity; it seemed that Ke'er needed to be taught a lesson.

  "What you said is right, no matter what Lin Lan's background is, since Brother has recognized her, she is his sister-in-law. Being disrespectful to elders is impolite, from now on, don't say such things again, and don't even think about it." Old Lady Ye's gaze was slightly cold, her tone stern.

  Ye Ke'er's mouth was even more bitter, and in her heart she resented Lin Lan even more. It was all because of this annoying woman that everyone had started to dislike her since she arrived. Every single person scolded her, Lin Lan was simply a jinx.

  Looking at Ye K'er's awkward appearance, Old Lady Ye secretly sighed and turned to Qi Shi: "Dabo has sent a letter saying that this year's tribute matter has already made progress. In the next few days, let Mingyun take all the idle money in the shop to see how much there is. If our Ye family's silk can be tributed, spending any amount of silver will be worth it."

  Qī shì máng yìngle.

  Ye Xiner was thinking that her brother would be returning to the capital soon, and she herself was not getting any younger. Her grandmother had recently been trying to arrange a marriage for her, but Ye Xiner's heart was full of reluctance. She also wanted to go to the capital, but there were some things on her mind that she couldn't discuss with others, only with her mother. Just as she was thinking about how to bring it up, she heard her grandmother call out her name.

  "Xin'er, your father has sent a letter and wants you to go to the capital with your cousin. Are you willing to go?" Although Old Lady Ye was asking Xin'er's opinion, she secretly hoped that Xin'er would say no. These two granddaughters were the apples of her eye, and she had already experienced one failed marriage arrangement. She wanted to find the best possible match for both of them. Although De Hua's letter described everything in detail, and the other family's background, character, talent, and appearance all seemed fine, she hadn't seen them with her own eyes, so her heart was still uneasy!

  Yexi's heart skipped a beat, feeling both happy and worried. She was happy to be able to go to the capital with her cousin, but worried because her father had suddenly brought up the idea of sending her to the capital, fearing that her lifelong major event had taken shape, and she felt conflicted.

  "Returning to grandmother, Xiaoyu also misses her mother." Ye Xiang'er replied tactfully.

  Mrs. Ye sighed slightly: "Let's prepare for a few days first!"

  Hearing that her cousin was leaving, Ye Kuo'er suddenly forgot about her previous grievances and hastily said: "Grandmother, I also want to go to the capital."

  "Stop being reckless," Qi's wife hastily whispered.

  Yue Ke'er's eyes were red: "My sister and I grew up together, we've never been apart before. Now she's going to the capital, who knows when we'll meet again? What's wrong with me going to the capital to accompany her for a while?"

  These words were spoken with true feelings, and the deep emotions of the sisters could be seen. Qi Shi was momentarily at a loss for how to refute them, thinking to herself: Having grown up this big, she has never left her mother's side, so how can her mother bear to part with her?

  Mrs. Ye said, "There will always be opportunities to go to Beijing, but this time it's not possible."

  After the crowd left, Old Lady Ye rubbed her aching legs and looked distressed.

  Zhou's mother said anxiously: "The medicinal herbs that Master Ying brought back today, should we have someone decoct them and try them out?"

  "Alright, it's late today, let's try again tomorrow! Just help me rub it for now."

  Zhou's mother suddenly remembered and said: "Young Master Mingyun said that Lin Niang will be able to learn a kind of specialized massage technique for treating paralysis, I'll go learn it tomorrow and try it out."

  Mrs. Ye laughed and said, "She's only been studying with Dr. Hu for a few years? The little skills she has were all taught by Dr. Hu. Dr. Hu didn't even mention it, looks like it's not very useful."

  "It's worth a try, it's better than what I'm doing now." said Zhou's mother with a smile.

  Mrs. Ye smiled and didn't object anymore, she lay down with her body tilted and closed her eyes to rest.
