My sister must marry someone else? Why are you crying when I marry the King of War?

Shao Xun originally thought that Lin Yulan was just speaking casually on a whim, but he didn't expect that within two days, she actually asked Xiao Qu to pass a message to Shao Ke, asking him for help.

The capital invested was quite a lot, a full three thousand taels.

Shao Xun did not check her dowry, but in his opinion, given the Lin family's financial situation, these three thousand taels were probably all the money his wife could come up with.

This was indeed the case. This was all the money Lin Yulan could come up with. She didn't dare to sell the other items. The things coming in and out of the mansion couldn't be concealed. If the news of the newly married marquis secretly selling her dowry got out, she and the mansion would be in trouble.

Shao Xun couldn't help but say a few more words of advice to Lin Yulan. If she invested so much at once, wouldn't it be a heavy loss if she lost money?

Lin Yulan knew that it was a sure win, so she naturally didn't want to miss such a good opportunity.

Speak in a gentle tone, thank you politely, and you will definitely not change your mind.

Not only did she not dare to do so, she also tried to get Shao Xun to join her.

The Marquis was very kind to her, and she felt that she should return the favor, but if the Marquis was unwilling, then she would have to give up.

Shao Xun was almost so angry that he laughed.

His newlywed wife looks gentle and kind, but she can be very stubborn when she gets angry!

For some reason he got so excited that he actually invested money in her, taking 10,000 taels to join.

"You don't have to worry about this matter. I'll ask Shao Ke to do it."

"Then I'll trouble you, my Lord. Please remember to use plain silk, dark-patterned silk, various pine-patterned silk, etc. The newer the pattern, the better. These materials are light and thin, and the colors and patterns are beautiful. They are the best for making clothes in summer. Don't use anything else."

"Fine!"

Shao Xun didn't know what he was feeling, probably just lost his mind.

The two of them handled the matter very low-key, but they didn't expect that Madam Shao and Mrs. Fu still found out about it.

When Lin Yulan went to pay her respects to the old lady, Mrs. Fu happened to be there too, so she asked a few questions with a smile.

Lin Yulan had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Fu smiled and joked, "My niece-in-law is really good at managing the household. She just got married and already knows how to earn money. But there are so many silk and cloth shops in the capital. It may not be a good idea for my niece-in-law to jump into them all."

Lin Yulan smiled good-temperedly: "I'm just trying it out, I don't know if I can make any money."

"I wonder how much capital my niece-in-law invested? In this business, if you invest too little, you won't make much money, but if you invest too much, you'll be easily trapped and lose everything!"

Lin Yulan was cautious and didn't tell her the truth. She just smiled and said, "I took a few hundred taels, and the Marquis also took a few hundred taels. Let's make do with it and see."

"How many hundreds are there?"

Fu smiled.

Lin Yulan paused and said vaguely: "Well, only a few hundred."

This second aunt really didn't take her seriously at all, otherwise why would she ask that question?

She refused to elaborate, and Mrs. Fu was not very happy. She chuckled and said, "What's wrong with saying this? Are you afraid that if your niece-in-law makes money, I, as her aunt, will rob you?"

Lin Yulan smiled and said, "Second Aunt, you are joking. It's just too little. I am embarrassed to say it."

Fu liked to hear this and laughed, "Then you have to blame Ah Xun. He has a lot of money, so he can't bear to give more to his niece-in-law?"

The Wuwei Marquisate started out as a result of military merit. This title was earned by their ancestors and fathers through fighting on the battlefield. They obtained a lot of spoils of war in the past, and accumulated a lot of wealth.

After Shao Xun's biological grandmother passed away, his grandfather originally did not plan to remarry. Now that this old lady Shao had married into the Marquis's mansion, he had used some tricks to succeed. This was not a glorious thing, and the Marquis's mansion had to cover it up. Very few people knew about it, and after so many years, it was almost forgotten.

But the old man was also angry. When he was alive, the old lady had no access to the huge wealth in the mansion.

Later, before the old man passed away, a large amount of property was directly given to the eldest son and his wife. Mrs. Shao tried several times to take advantage of the situation but failed, which made her very angry.

Now all those properties are in Shao Xun's hands. Given Shao Xun's personality, neither Madam Shao nor Mrs. Fu can do anything about them.

They had no idea how much property Shao Xun had.

When Fu said this, she couldn't help but feel jealous, and it was also a test.

How could Lin Yulan know these secrets? But it was enough for her to know that Fu Shi had bad intentions.

"I am just trying it out. How dare I ask for more money from you? I will feel bad if I lose money."

Mrs. Fu smiled and said, "My niece-in-law is too cautious. Ah Xun spends his money drinking, cockfighting and running around all day long. It's just a waste. Wouldn't it be better to let my niece-in-law try it? What if she makes money?"

Madam Shao frowned, "Let's not talk about whether he can make money or not. Ah Xun is indeed too naughty outside. Why is he still the same as before? He rarely comes home. Lin, you have to take care of him and urge him to make progress! Otherwise, it's hard to say whether he can keep this title. He has brought disgrace to the reputation of his ancestors. How can the emperor like him? As his wife, you can't just do nothing!"

"Yes, old lady, granddaughter-in-law will remember it."

"It's no use remembering it, you have to do it."

"Yes, my granddaughter-in-law will definitely do her best."

"Well," Mrs. Shao nodded in satisfaction. "Then you have to pay attention to what he does and where he goes every day. You have to ask what you should ask and take care of what you should take care of. If he doesn't listen, you tell me and I will tell him. You don't have to tell him these things, otherwise he will get angry and make trouble again."

"Yes, old lady."

Lin Yulan could see that Madam Shao wanted her to monitor Shao Xun, and she said it in such a high-sounding way.

It's true that those who are not biological children are different. For example, Old Madam Shao, Shao Xun also calls her grandmother. Who dares not respect her in this mansion? But she still wants the title to be passed on to her own bloodline, and doesn't regard Shao Xun as a junior at all.

Madam Shao and Mrs. Fu were both very satisfied with Lin Yulan's attitude, and they were in great joy for a while.

Mrs. Fu suddenly smiled again and said, "Oh, by the way, I was so busy that I almost forgot. My niece-in-law has gone back to pick out her clothes and jewelry. Come with me to the Rongguo Mansion for the banquet tomorrow."

"Ah?" Lin Yulan's heart skipped a beat and her expression changed when she suddenly heard the name of Duke Rong's Mansion.

Seeing that Madam Shao and Mrs. Fu were looking at her in surprise, Lin Yulan could only smile bitterly: "Second Aunt, I have never attended such a banquet. I am a little nervous. I am sorry to make you laugh."

Thinking of her background, Fu understood and looked down on her. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, you are now the wife of Marquis Wuwei. Your status and position are different. Who dares to look down on you? Just follow me when the time comes."

"Thank you, Second Aunt. By the way, Second Aunt, I wonder why the Rongguo Mansion is holding this banquet..."

Not telling her anything shows how much Fu wants to trick her and make her look bad.

"It's nothing important, just a flower viewing party. Just a gathering for everyone to have some fun."
