Lin Yulan is not as greedy for money as Fu, but she also loves money.

The price of silk gauze has skyrocketed now, and she has indeed made a lot of money, but she still has to give a portion to the Marquis, and she doesn't have much left.

These are the guarantee for her future life, how can I give them away casually?

Besides, when she bought and hoarded silk in large quantities, the Fu family laughed at her and said a lot of sarcastic words to her. Now she wants to get something for nothing, how can it be so easy?

She could give 20% of the profit to An Xiaoqi and didn't want to give a penny to Fu's.

I can’t say for sure. I’ll discuss this with the Marquis later.

Lin Yulan said in embarrassment: "Second Aunt, I'm so sorry, this silk gauze is not actually mine, it belongs to the Marquis."

"What? How is this possible!"

It’s no wonder that the Fu family was surprised. After all, Shao Xun has never done any business in all these years.

"It's true," Lin Yulan said, "Otherwise, Second Aunt, think about it, why would I do such a thing?"

Fu choked.

This - seems to make sense.

Lin Yulan was a new bride, and if it wasn't for Shao Xun's idea, she wouldn't have dared to do this. With her family background, where would she get so much money?

Although Fu didn't keep a close eye on it, she also learned a little bit. Lin Yulan had stockpiled a lot of goods. Even if the price of silk gauze was not so outrageous at that time, it would definitely cost a huge amount of money.

Therefore, Fu secretly laughed at Lin Yulan with the maids around her, making fun of her for being a spendthrift and waiting to see her lose everything.

Lin Yulan observed his expression and knew that this greedy and narrow-minded second aunt believed it, so she said, "The Marquis also told me that he would send someone to send the money he earned this time to the An family! He said that when cousin An and cousin An were in the capital, they had an accident, and he felt very upset, so, so he wanted to compensate them..."

Fu: “…”

Fu was completely speechless.

Because this is indeed what Shao Xun would do.

Shao Xun has always been very good to the An family, his maternal grandparents, and the An brothers and sisters almost got into trouble in the capital.

Shao Zhixin was a little sour, and smiled and said: "Big brother is really good to the An family cousins, much better than me, his cousin."

Lin Yulan smiled but said nothing.

There's nothing to explain.

Mrs. Fu was not willing to accept it. "So much money, did you give it all to the An family? My niece-in-law, you have worked hard on this matter. You are the biggest contributor. I should give you half of it. By the way, how much did you make from this batch of silk?"

There was a gleam of gossip in Fu's eyes. Shao Zhixin also stopped listening and looked at Lin Yulan eagerly.

How much did you earn?

The net profit was more than 40,000 taels, and there was still a batch of goods left to be sold. Once all were sold, it should be no problem to make 50,000 or 60,000 taels.

Of course I can’t tell you. If I tell you, the Fu family will be jealous to death.

So much silver would drive Fu crazy.

Then make a desperate move.

Lin Yulan shook her head. "These things were all arranged by the Marquis. I don't know, and it's not easy to ask. If Second Aunt wants to know, it's better to ask the Marquis."

Mrs. Fu sneered, "Madam Hou, you act like a puppet! Don't you know anything about Ah Xun's affairs? You are his wife, not his servant. Why don't you care about him? No wonder the old lady always scolds you."

Lin Yulan lowered her eyes and said, "Second Aunt, you misunderstood. I also take care of the Marquis's food, clothing and daily life. It's just that the matter of money is too sensitive. How can I ask? People who don't know would think that I am greedy and always thinking about the Marquis's money. I am afraid that people will misunderstand and laugh at me. Besides, the money is to be given to the An family, why should I ask more?"

"you!"

Fu felt that she was being implied again, and said coldly: "You are very virtuous, no wonder Ah Xun, who is so reckless and lawless, didn't find any fault with you."

Lin Yulan: “…”

Although it was of no use, she still wanted to clear the Marquis's name after hearing it. She couldn't let people talk about him like this all the time.

"Second aunt, the Marquis is actually quite good-natured. I don't think he is unruly or lawless."

"Why? Do you mean to say that I have wronged him?"

"Perhaps there was some misunderstanding in the past. The Marquis actually has a very good personality."

Fu was so upset. Well, well, she came here and didn't get a penny, but instead she heard that Lin came to clear Shao Xun's name, right?

"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? That's because you don't have enough experience!" Fu sneered and stood up. "Don't worry, just wait and you will understand how terrible he is when he gets angry."

Lin Yulan stood up and said, "Second Aunt, I will remember what you said."

"Humph!"

The Fu mother and daughter left angrily.

Shao Zhixin looked at Lin Yulan deeply, then suddenly leaned close to her and smiled: "Sister-in-law, you protect your brother like this and think about him everywhere, but he spends his money on wine and women outside, and is reluctant to share his money with you, but spends it all on having fun outside. Is it worth it, sister-in-law? I feel so wronged for you."

Lin Yulan: “…”

Judging from Shao Xun's past reputation, what he said was absolutely right, and the effect of instigation would not be too good.

If it were someone else, even if they knew that Shao Zhixin did it on purpose, they would not be able to help but have wild thoughts and even become suspicious of Shao Xun.

Unfortunately, Shao Zhixin found the wrong person.

After Shao Xun came back, Lin Yulan told him about the visit of Fu's mother and daughter, what they said, and how she responded, in order to reconcile her testimony to avoid being exposed.

Shao Xun laughed when he heard this, feeling gloating over the other's misfortune.

"Second Aunt loves money like her life. She was waiting to see the joke before, but now she is jealous and wants to get a piece of the pie. When she is confused by your tricks, she will realize that she didn't get anything good after returning. I'm afraid she will be so angry that she won't be able to eat or sleep well for several days."

Lin Yulan was also a little amused, "If she wants to do this, there's nothing I can do!"

After all, it's impossible to give her the money.

It's not easy to make money, she still needs to save for her retirement.

Shao Xun smiled and said, "She has always been like this, Madam, you don't have to pay attention to it. I know about this matter. If she really comes to me, I know what to say."

Lin Yulan was relieved now: "That's good, my Lord, please don't forget it. By the way, from the money you earn this time, deduct my 5,000 taels of capital and give me another 5,000 taels of profit. My Lord, take the rest and buy winter clothes for my cousin and the others."

Shao Xun was stunned and frowned, "How can this be possible? After all, at the beginning-"

"My Lord, this is just a token of my appreciation!"

"But--"

"I sincerely want to help my cousin An and the others. I hope you will grant my wish, Lord Marquis."
