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

Lin Yulan was totally unaware and nodded in agreement. She had heard from her cousin An that the northern border was bitterly cold, and she was quite impressed and sympathetic. She wanted to do her part and make sure things were done properly.

Xiaolian came in to report that someone from the Madam's family had come to inform her, asking her to find time to go back in the next two days, the sooner the better.

Lord Shao, who was in a bad mood, sneered, "I think it's probably because of Meng Mingchi and the others' return to the Duke of Rong's Mansion. We won't get involved in this mess. I will accompany Madam to her parents' home. If mother-in-law forces Madam to do something, Madam can just use me as a shield and tell her to talk to me in person if she has the guts."

Lin Yulan smiled and said, "If the Marquis is here, that would be great. It's better to go now than to choose a day. How about going now?"

Shao Xun laughed: "Great minds think alike!"

He was feeling irritated and wanted to find something to do.

The two of them did what they said. Although it was not convenient for them to say bad things about their elders openly, everyone knew the truth in their hearts. Anyway, as long as it looked okay on the surface, it was fine.

After packing up briefly, he left in a carriage.

Not long after the two of them left, Fu and Shao Zhixin happened to come looking for Lin Yulan. Upon hearing that the Marquis had gone out with his wife, and no one knew where they had gone, the mother and daughter had to go back in disappointment.

Shao Zhixin was puzzled and sour: "Even if my sister-in-law has some looks, she is not the best. In terms of knowledge, I think she may not be better than me. She is also a concubine's daughter. What does my brother like about her?"

Go out with her every now and then?

Mrs. Fu was even more sarcastic, "Maybe she was virtuous enough after she got married, and she always followed your cousin's lead. Your cousin became more and more lawless, but no one cared about him or said anything. How could she not be happy?"

Lin Yulan and Shao Xun went to the Lin family. Lin Daohui was very surprised. Gu was also surprised, but she was also proud. She sneered and said, "I sent someone to tell them, but I didn't expect them to come so soon. Our Wei'er has made it. She is different after all."

Lin Daohui didn't like this and frowned slightly: "Lan girl is also our daughter."

The identities of biological daughter and son-in-law are different now. Gu is more confident and doesn't take Lin Daohui's words seriously. "Lan girl didn't help us sisters before. She made us suffer humiliation and injustice at the summer banquet. She didn't help me at all after becoming the Marquis' wife. I treat her as my daughter. I'm afraid she will climb up the ladder when she grows up. She will feel that she doesn't need us in the future and may not regard us as her parents. I'd better not think too much about it!"

"Nonsense, Lan girl is not that kind of person."

Gu sneered.

"Father, mother."

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law."

Gu's smile was fake, but Lin Daohui was quite happy and greeted the two of them with a smile.

After a brief greeting, Lin Daohui invited his eldest son-in-law to the study to talk.

Shao Xun saw that his father-in-law looked quite pleased. He thought it was probably because his sister-in-law and her husband had returned to the Rongguo Mansion.

As a father, he should be proud - a minor official of the fourth rank, but his two daughters both married such well. Many powerful families could not compare to him.

Unfortunately, neither of them is that good.

Of course, with him in Wuwei Marquis' Mansion, he will protect his wife, and no one can easily hurt his wife.

As for the Duke Rong’s Mansion, it’s hard to say.

He had to remind his father-in-law not to be so proud of himself, because the Rongguo Mansion was not so easy to deal with, and he should not dream of being killed by others.

He's not nosy, he just doesn't want any trouble in the future.

Lin Yulan faced Gu alone.

Gu was very proud. She glanced at her and said with a smile, "I really didn't expect that Wei'er would be so lucky. This is destined. Don't be too proud and frivolous. If you are too careful, you will end up making a fool of yourself. You are a marquis' wife after all. There is no need to be jealous of Wei'er."

Lin Yulan smiled softly: "Mother, what are you talking about? My sister's blessing belongs to her, so how can I be jealous?"

Lin Yuwei should just enjoy this blessing.

It seems that everyone has determined that the prince of the Duke's Mansion will not live long, and everyone believes that the identity of the heir to the Duke's Mansion will definitely fall to Meng Mingchi.

This is indeed the case, but how do the wives of the Duke of Rong and the current Duke's son feel? Who will they vent their resentment and anger on?

"You'd better not!" Gu sneered, and then said, "Your sister sent someone to say that the Duke of Rong's Mansion will hold a family reunion banquet for her and Ming Chi in a few days, and we have to go. I think we are your sister's family, so we naturally have to give her face. If she is respectable, we will also be proud."

Lin Yulan: "That's what mother said."

When Gu heard her only say this, she glanced at her with dissatisfaction.

Unfortunately, Lin Yulan lowered her eyes and did not receive her gaze.

Madam Qing beside Gu smiled and said, "Miss, sisters in this family rise and fall together, so the gifts for the recognition banquet must be of some weight. You are the wife of a marquis, and if you are too shabby, it will inevitably make people laugh, don't you think? The gold hairpin and step-shaking ornaments you wore when you returned home were very nice. I heard that the Queen Mother, Concubine Yan and others gave you a lot of things at the summer banquet. Why don't you pick a few as gifts?"

Gu: "You have a lot of brocade, right? Prepare some with fresh patterns and colors, such as kesi, Shu brocade, and Song brocade. If you have them, prepare some. If not, find a way to get some. A dignified Marquis's Mansion can't be without even a little bit of knowledge."

"It's not enough to just have these. We need to pick a few fine jade carvings, porcelain vases and other valuable ornaments. The Marquis of Wuwei's mansion is so big that it can't be without these."

"The other thing is money. Your sister just returned to the Duke of Rong's Mansion. She needs to have money to reward people. Otherwise, she will be laughed at. Prepare another 5,000 taels of silver for her."

"I'm doing this for your own good. Your sister has established a firm foothold in the Duke's Mansion, which is good for you too. You can support each other and it will be good for both of you. If you help her now, she will naturally repay you in the future. You must have learned from the second wife of the Marquis of Wuwei Mansion and the old lady that they are not easy to mess with. Without the help of your relatives, your life in the future will probably be difficult! What kind of married woman doesn't rely on her natal family and siblings? Don't you think so?"

Madam Qing praised immediately: "Madam is absolutely right! Miss, Madam is doing this for your own good. Don't think that Madam is taking advantage of you. If Madam really wanted to harm you, you wouldn't have such a good marriage now! Besides, you and the second young lady are both grown up and married now, so even if there was any unhappiness in your childhood, it's all in the past."

"We have to weigh the pros and cons and look forward, don't you think?"

"If you keep haggling over the past, whether you have one more piece of clothing or one less piece of food, that would be foolish!"
