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

Fu sneered, "Master, please stop talking. He has big ideas. He thinks he is superior to others because of his title. Let's wait and see. We don't know what will happen."

The two wives of the Deng family came to apologize on behalf of the Deng family. They refused to even drink a cup of tea. They came and left with cold faces. Just thinking about the situation that day made Mrs. Fu and Mr. Shao shudder with fear and they were extremely dissatisfied with Shao Xun and Lin Yulan.

Fu was even more upset that Lin Yulan had taken all the gifts brought by the two Mrs. Dengs. There were several gift boxes of different sizes. Could the Dengs have given them cheap gifts? She was not respectful to the old lady and her second aunt at all, which made her very unhappy.

No filial piety at all.

Shao Xun raised his eyebrows: "Why don't I understand what my second uncle and second aunt are talking about? Be careful? What do we need to be careful about? Do you think the Deng family will retaliate?"

"What nonsense!"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Mr. Shao and Mrs. Fu did the same thing.

Mr. Shao glared at him fiercely, furious: "You are not afraid of the disaster caused by your mouth, but I am afraid of it. Stop talking nonsense here! Just do it, do it as much as you can. You only have this little bit of bullying ability, and you only use it to deal with your family members, humph!"

Mr. Shao turned away.

Fu was unwilling to accept it, and said to Lin Yulan with a half-smile: "My niece, because of your matter, the old lady has been worried and frightened for a while, and even I, the second aunt, haven't slept well for a day. The most important thing for the younger generation is to be filial!"

As she spoke, she took Shao Yan and Shao Zhixin with her.

Lin Yulan thought about it again and again, but finally gave up. She looked at Shao Xun and asked in confusion, "What does Second Aunt mean by this? I don't understand."

She didn't understand, but Shao Xun did. He sneered, "Second Aunt wants benefits."

"Want--benefits?"

"Well, I guess she wants a piece of the action."

"A share of the pie?"

Lin Yulan was even more confused. Was there any soup to share?

Shao Xun was amused and stopped teasing her, "If my guess is correct, Second Aunt probably wants to share a portion of the compensation gift sent by the Deng family."

Lin Yulan: “…”

She was convinced.

"But I gave all those things to Xiaoqi."

There were a lot of things. They were not gifts from the emperor, so they could all be sold. Lin Yulan estimated that they were worth about 7,000 to 8,000 taels. These things would be more valuable if sold to the local tyrants at the border, so she simply gave them all to An Xiaoqi. She could take them back and sell them for some military pay and food.

Although it is just a drop in the bucket for an army of 100,000, it is still a token of my appreciation.

Shao Xun smiled and said, "If you didn't give it to Xiaoqi, would Madam give some to Second Aunt?"

Lin Yulan immediately showed her resistance, "This - no, I won't give it to you."

Who doesn't love money? She also cares about money. There is no reason to give Fu a share for no reason.

Shao Xun laughed, "Madam is wise! Let's go back."

Lin Yulan smiled and went back with him.

In a few days, Shao Xun will take Lin Yulan out of the city to a farm to recuperate for a while.

Madam Shao and Mrs. Fu were too lazy to care about the two of them. They could go wherever they wanted.

Shao Xun also took Aunt Zhang with him. Fu smiled sarcastically: Is she afraid that if she leaves the crazy woman in the mansion, she will harm her? Why would she harm the crazy woman if there is nothing wrong?

Fu ran to Old Madam Shao and started gossiping, "Our Marquis is really filial to that crazy woman. He even outshines Old Madam. I wonder what he's thinking!"

Mrs. Shao was very unhappy when she heard this and sneered.

Fu was secretly proud of seeing this, and took the opportunity to instigate her with many words.

Shao Xun took Lin Yulan and the wet nurse to a farm under his own name, and Lin Yulan took Xiaoqu and Xiaoxing with her.

If Xiao Xing was left in the mansion, if she teamed up with Nanny Qi to do something, Qian Rui might not be able to handle it when both she and the Marquis were not around. It would be better to take her away.

Lin Yulan said that she wanted to embroider two headbands for the old lady, and make two pairs of shoes for her second aunt and three sisters-in-law. She assigned all these tasks to Xiaoxing and asked her to finish them quickly.

Xiao Xing had no choice but to accept the offer.

When she arrived at the farm, she still did embroidery every day.

In late spring, the mountains were cool, and Shao Xun took Lin Yulan out every day to have fun for a few days. Lin Yulan thought that the days seemed to be a little beyond her expectations, and there were thrilling things happening every now and then, which was really frightening.

The title of the wife of Marquis Wuwei cannot be removed in a short time, so it is better to plan ahead and make more preparations.

She asked Shao Xun if he could teach her how to ride a horse.

In her previous life, she had always envied women who were good at riding horses, but it was a pity that she could never do that. Whether she was the wife of the Crown Prince or the Duke, she always presented a dignified image to the outside world. Besides, no one would teach her.

Lord Shao is not a person who follows a lot of rules and regulations, so she dared to raise the issue tentatively.

Unexpectedly, when she said that, Shao Xun smiled and said, "I originally wanted to ask Madam if she wanted to learn horse riding, but I thought Madam didn't like it, so I didn't ask. I didn't expect that Madam also wanted to learn horse riding. What a coincidence."

Lin Yulan was even happier, she smiled sweetly and confessed honestly: "Xiaoqi told me about some things in the northern border, I really envied her riding skills, so I also wanted to learn."

Shao Xun laughed after hearing this, "Xiao Qi? That girl showed off her riding skills to Madam? What kind of riding skills are her half-baked ones? She is just bragging in front of Madam! Learn from me, I will teach you, that is the real riding skills!"

Lin Yulan laughed, "I am stupid, if I can't learn well, please don't despise me, my lord."

"Of course not. Madam is smart and will definitely learn it well."

After thinking about it, he felt that this statement seemed to put too much pressure on his wife, so he said softly: "It doesn't matter if you can't learn it well. It's not a big deal. Madam, just treat it as a pastime to relieve boredom."

Lin Yulan felt relieved and said yes with a smile.

There are many fine horses on Shao Xun's farm. He specially picked a docile little mare for Lin Yulan. The horse had soft, shiny and smooth snow-white fur, a well-proportioned body and gentle eyes. Lin Yulan liked it at first sight and reached out to gently stroke its fur. The horse was not afraid and rubbed against her affectionately.

Shao Xun spread his palms in front of her, "It likes to eat pine nut candy. Madam, you can feed it some, and it will like you more. But don't feed it too much, eating too much candy is bad for its teeth."

Lin Yulan smiled with sparkling eyes and said yes, then took some pine nut candy and fed it to the horse. Sure enough, the horse became more affectionate to her.

“It really works!”

"Of course." Shao Xun was in a good mood when he saw that she was happy.

After they had established a close relationship, Shao Xun helped Lin Yulan ride on him. Lin Yulan was very nervous, her body was stiff and she was at a loss. She didn't know where to put her hands and feet, and she didn't dare to move.

Lin Yulan was afraid, but she looked calm. Shao Xun thought she was ready, so he patted the horse's back and urged it to move forward. But as soon as the horse moved, Lin Yulan leaned back, screamed "Ah!" and threw herself off the horse.

"Be careful!" Fortunately, Shao Xun was quick to catch her and hug her tightly, "How are you? Are you okay? It's okay, don't be afraid..."

Facing the pair of eyes that looked up at him pitifully nervously, Shao Xun changed his tone several times in one sentence, becoming more and more gentle.
