When she raised her eyes and saw Lord Shao smiling at her, Lin Yulan realized belatedly what she had done in the heat of the moment.

She actually stood up for him...

Lin Yulan suddenly felt embarrassed. To be honest, she was so angry at the time that she didn't think much about it and just spoke without thinking.

In fact...Based on her understanding of Lord Shao over this period of time, Lord Shao is not someone who needs her to vent her anger. She doesn't even dare to imagine how many schemes Lord Shao has in mind.

Sometimes she even secretly thought that the couple in the second room were still so noisy, and she didn't know what would happen to them in the future!

"I, I just couldn't bear to hear them go too far, so I couldn't help but say a few words. Lord, I didn't cause any trouble for you, did I?"

"No, I am flattered by your kindness, madam. I am so happy that there is no time for trouble."

Lin Yulan's face was slightly hot, "Ah, it's good that there is nothing..."

Shao Xun went back to Chunhui Garden with her and pushed the 100 taels of gold and the two Ruyi to Lin Yulan, "Here, Madam, keep them."

Lin Yulan was stunned.

Shao Xun smiled and said, "I gave it to my wife."

"this--"

"Madam, please accept it. This should have been given to you. It's not easy for you to make money. I can't let you pay out of your own pocket to give rewards to the servants."

Shao Xun laughed as he spoke.

Lin Yulan: “…”

"Since the Marquis has said so, I would be disrespectful to refuse!"

"Ah."

To be honest, after Lin Yulan made the big statement, she felt a little painful in her heart. She wanted to prove herself, so she blurted out the big statement just to see Fu's ugly face.

However, with so many people in the Marquis' Mansion, the reward money given out is a considerable sum.

Shao Xun gave her all the rewards at this moment, instantly filling the small aching void in her heart.

The dull pain turned into a soft and slightly sweet feeling. She wondered, how could Lord Shao be so considerate and generous?

Shao Xun looked at her and said, "It's just that next time, Madam, you don't have to argue with them. That old woman has a gloomy mind, and your second aunt and second uncle are even more vicious. No one knows what they will do. Just ignore what they say. Madam, there is no need to let them bear a grudge."

He was afraid that Lin Yulan would be unhappy, so he hurriedly said, "Madam, don't think too much. I don't mean to blame you. It's just unnecessary."

Lin Yulan didn't think much about it and felt even more sorry for him.

How much injustice has he suffered to become so indifferent, accustomed to it, and not care about it?

If the former Marquis and his wife knew about this, how aggrieved they would be! People are all made of flesh and blood, how could they be so cruel?

Lin Yulan nodded gently and smiled softly: "Okay, I understand. Lord, don't worry."

"That's good!" Shao Xun was relieved to see that she really didn't think too much, and smiled and said, "Originally, I wanted to take my wife out to Man Yue Tower for dinner so that we can celebrate together, but unfortunately the timing is not right now, so we can't be too ostentatious. How about I owe you this meal first? I'll take my wife out later."

Lin Yulan was delighted and nodded with a smile: "Okay, I would like to thank you first!"

"You're too polite, madam." Shao Xun laughed, "If by any chance I can't remember it for a moment, madam, please don't forget to remind me."

Lin Yulan also joked: "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely remember it and won't give you a chance to renege on your debt."

The two smiled at each other.

The marriage between the second son of the Meng family and Shao Zhixin was forced to be postponed as originally planned.

There was cheating in the imperial examination, and then there was trouble with the Deng family. The people in the capital were in a panic. The prince was rebuked by the emperor several times. The emperor was furious, and the court officials were terrified. Only a very brave person would dare to hold a wedding at this time.

However, this matter cannot be delayed.

The woman’s family can’t afford to delay.

What if the man refuses to admit it or is unwilling to do so?

Now that the dust has finally settled and everything is over, Fu couldn't wait to discuss with Old Madam Shao and bring up the matter again with the Rongguo Mansion to quickly let Shao Zhixin marry into the family.

Madam Shao said, "This is the Rongguo Mansion that has wronged our family. Our girl Xin had an accident in their house. If they dare not admit it, we will let our girl Xin die in front of their house and see if they have the shame to do so."

"But you are right. This matter really cannot be delayed any longer. It will not be good for our family if it is delayed any longer. It is always better to solve it as soon as possible."

"We are the women, and it is not worth it to rush. You should not go to the Duke Rong's Mansion. Ask Lin to go there tomorrow. Isn't her sister there? It is normal for the sisters to get together. Let Lin go and talk."

Old Madam Shao was in a very complicated mood. Now Shao Xun had been promoted again, and the emperor had rewarded him with a hundred taels of gold and a jade ruyi. The eunuch who came to convey the emperor's decree had smiles on his faces and spoke politely. The imperial edict was full of good words. One had to admit that Shao Xun really won the emperor's favor.

This kid is just lucky!

If it weren't for the golden signboard of Wuwei Marquis's Mansion, how could he have such luck? No wonder his son was so unwilling and resentful. If he inherited the title, and the emperor wanted to use Wuwei Marquis, he would be the one to be used.

Now he is the one who is in the limelight.

In the end, all the benefits went to that bastard Shao Xun. Who would be willing to accept this?

However, the Wuwei Marquis' Mansion is very popular now, and it would undoubtedly be more prestigious for Xin to get married.

Old Madam Shao couldn't help but sigh secretly again. She didn't know how many more years she could live. If she passed away in the future, the second house would no longer be so prosperous.

She could not let her own son fall into that state no matter what!

A hint of ruthlessness flashed across Old Madam Shao's eyes. She couldn't wait any longer like this. She had to ask the second son to go out and make some friends under the name of Wuwei Marquis's Mansion. They had to work hard to find an opportunity...

Mrs. Fu smiled and said, "It's still the old lady who has the idea. In that case, I will go and talk to Mrs. Lin. But, Mrs. Lin is obviously in cahoots with Shao Xun. Who knows if she will do something bad? I'm still worried. Why not let Aunt Tang, who is by the old lady's side, accompany Mrs. Lin?"

Madam Shao nodded: "Let's do it."

Fu was relieved and said with a smile: "Xin girl's dowry is still missing two valuable items, the imperial gift of Ruyi and gold..."

Madam Shao frowned and glanced coldly at Fu.

Mrs. Fu hurriedly said, "Madam, Xin's marriage is not very glorious to begin with. And it is the Duke's Mansion. If Xin doesn't have a treasure, I'm afraid the Duke's Mansion will look down on her."
