The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Chen Qingsheng wanted to ask but was too embarrassed to do so. He Ye saw what he was thinking and said, "Do you want to know?"

Chen Qingsheng nodded. He couldn't wait to go home and listen to his sister-in-law Yuhua's story.

He Ye talked about other people's family affairs as if she was telling them, and recounted what happened today in one breath.

Chen Qingsheng comforted He Ye, "Don't be sad that your mother was beaten. She is a domineering person. It's not without benefit to teach her a lesson."

He Ye gritted her teeth and said, "Don't even mention teaching her a lesson or slapping her dozens of times. Even if I beat her to death, I won't be sad. I've already broken her heart."

After this lesson, Liu Dalan stayed quiet for several days until her face was 50% healed and she came out again.

She put on her old face in front of Madam Wan and no longer called her grandson a bastard.

Madam Wan would not get angry with such a person. It was her grandson who beat the man, and she was the one who treated the illness. The herbs she used were all the best. She did not favor the monk but the Buddha. Since she let the man live in her house, Madam Wan would naturally not neglect her and would take good care of her food, clothing and expenses.

But human greed is insatiable. No matter how much Madam Wan gave her, it could not satisfy Liu Dalan's endless greed.

She would only sit in Madam Wan's wife's room for an incense stick of time before she started thinking about asking for things. Madam Wan could satisfy her seven times out of ten, so it was destined that she would ask for more and more things each time.

She said to Madam Wan, "Aunt, my daughter Hebao is now of marriageable age. We could have prepared a dowry for her, but all our money was taken away by the Yatuo people along the way."

When Madam Wan heard that this meant she was asked to buy some wedding clothes for He Bao, she knew that the dowry would all fall on her. If this person was engaged, promised to be in-laws, and had chosen a wedding date, she would add to her dowry. However, adding dowry depended entirely on one's own ideas, and she had never seen anyone ask for it in advance.

Madam Wan hadn't heard for so many days that He Bao was betrothed to you, so she wanted to know who He Bao was betrothed to. "Who is your daughter betrothed to?"

Liu Dalan grinned, her only front tooth remaining looking a bit funny. "How dare I marry someone when my dowry isn't ready yet?"

Madam Wan glanced at He Bao who was sitting next to Liu Dalan. Her clothes were bought by Shang Xi, and the styles and colors were the most popular in Fengqi at the time. The pearl hairpin on her head was also bought by Shang Xi. Although it was not a high-quality and expensive item, it was more than enough for someone of He Bao's status.

The strange thing is that He Bao is small but not petite, so she wears better clothes than the maids, but she is not as pleasing to the eye as the maids. Madam Wan just can't like her at all.

Mrs. Wan was absolutely generous with what she could give, but the lion asked for too much, and she refused to accept her offer. "Da Lan! He Bao is only fifteen, there's no rush. Besides, doesn't she have an older sister, He Ye? According to the order of eldest to youngest, He Ye is still unmarried, so it's not He Bao's turn to get married, right?"

When mentioning He Ye, Liu Dalan frowned and said, "He Ye doesn't recognize me, and I'm not close to her. She can marry or not. I plan to enjoy the blessings of He Bao in the future."

This was also what a mother would say. Madam Wan shook her head in disgust. A man who sold his daughter still wanted to enjoy the happiness of having two wives. How greedy and shameless! "Then you should hurry up and find a husband for He Bao. It won't be too late to think about the dowry after you find one."

Seeing that she couldn't get a dowry, Liu Dalan changed her strategy and said, "Aunt, is there any rich young man you can introduce to me to marry Hebao? Our Hebao can manage the household and be filial to his parents-in-law."

Madam Wan used her decades of wisdom to look at He Bao again. She didn't have the ability to manage the household or be filial to her parents-in-law. She might be the second Liu Dalan. Madam Wan smiled and shook her head. She pointed at Han Muran beside her with her chin, "Her in-laws haven't been settled yet. Where can I find a husband for He Bao? I'm an old woman who never leaves the house. How can I meet a young man from an aristocratic family?"

Liu Dalan glanced at Han Muran with jealousy. She was the eldest granddaughter of Han Zhigao, the younger brother of Madam Wan. She was only seventeen years old, in the prime of her life. She was dressed in brocade and silk clothes, with jingling rings and ornaments on her head. She was a rare beauty, with lively eyebrows and eyes, fair face, red lips, fair skin and a tall figure. If you look closely, you can see that there is a lot of charm between her eyebrows and eyes.

This person was raised in luxury, how can a lotus bud compare to him!

There is a world of difference between these two people.

He Bao was also jealous in her heart. Her mother Liu Dalan praised her to the heavens and earth every day, and said that no one could compare to her. But the woman in front of her was better looking than her, dressed better than her, and her life experience was even more incomparable to hers.

Look at her hands, long and slender, while her hands are short. Look at the same blue silk dress, a piece of cloth on her body could replace fifty of hers. Look at her jewelry surrounded by pearls and jade, each piece is priceless, and then look at her, all silver jewelry, not a single valuable piece.

He Bao was completely outshined by this man. Such a man was seventeen years old and still hadn't found a husband. Wouldn't she have to wait a little longer? Thinking that she wouldn't be able to get married for a while, the disheartened He Bao felt discouraged.

He Bao had no idea who the girl in front of her was going to marry. The other person's ambition was much higher than hers. Since Han Muran came to Prince Pang's mansion, there have been no less than twenty matchmakers who came to the door, and all of them were rejected by the Han family. The girl's father was Han Yuanqiao, the eldest son of the Han family. Both father and daughter were ambitious people. The father Han Yuanqiao wanted to be an official in the court, and the daughter Han Muran wanted to enter the palace as a concubine. They had been planning for a long time and were just waiting for Madam Wan to come forward to fight for the opportunity for them.

So in order to get close to the emperor, the Han family surrounded Madam Wan every day, trying to make her happy and please her.

Liu Dalan and her daughter returned empty-handed and were very disappointed when they left Mrs. Wan's room because they didn't get anything.

He Bao said to Liu Dalan in frustration, "Mother, look at what Han Muran is wearing, and then look at what I'm wearing. He's covered in jewelry, but I only have these few shabby silver ornaments. You always say clothes make the man, and gold makes the Buddha. She's worried about getting married, and how can I get married well when I'm dressed like this?"

Compared to Han Muran, He Bao was indeed a bit shabby. Liu Dalan thought for a moment and said, "That idiot Shang Xi has a lot of good things, but she doesn't give them away. Madam Wan also knows how to limit what she gives. Hey, I see He Ye has quite a few jewels. You're so sweet, you should go ask her for them."

He Bao pouted upon hearing this. Influenced by her mother, she was very dissatisfied with He Ye. "My sister goes out early and comes back late every day. She is obviously avoiding us. If I go there, will she give me good things?"
