Shao Xun looked at Lin Yulan and was so moved that he didn't know what to say.

"Madam, that's fifty thousand taels of silver!"

"As for money, I can earn it later. Besides, didn't the Marquis give me a shop as a gift? I have made a lot of money this year."

Shao Xun: “…”

Although this amount of silver is not much for the 100,000 Northern Army, it is a huge sum for an individual.

Many powerful families could not come up with so much cash at once.

She said she didn't want it, so she didn't want it?

She has nothing to do with the An family. Shao Xun doesn't think Lin Yulan did this for any reason other than herself.

She really, really cares too much about herself.

Shao Xun was somewhat moved.

He secretly made up his mind to repay her in the future.

If there comes that day.

If not, try your best to meet her wishes and arrange everything for her.

After all, her natal family is not reliable at all, and her brother-in-law who returned to the Duke's Mansion cannot be her backer either.

"My master thanks Madam on behalf of the An family and the Northern Border Army." Shao Xun saluted her with his fists clasped.

Lin Yulan quickly dodged to the side and smiled a little guilty: "My Lord, you are too polite."

To be honest, she actually felt bad about giving away so much money at once.

But then I thought, if I could gain some favor from the An family, it would be worth it, so I didn't feel so sad anymore.

So although she did a good thing, her motives were not pure and she really did not deserve his sincere gratitude.

The way he looked at her made her feel so guilty.

The Marquis is truly a loyal man, and the Fu family and others are really good at smearing him.

The invitation for the family recognition banquet held by the Duke of Rong’s Mansion was quickly delivered to the mansion.

Lin Yulan and Shao Xun would definitely go, and Fu also wanted to watch the fun. Besides, the two daughters who were getting married really needed to show up more at various banquets.

When the invitation was delivered, Shao Xun had not returned from his duty yet, so Old Madam Shao called Lin Yulan to Yanshou Hall and took the opportunity to give her a good lecture.

It was nothing but the same clichés. In her previous life, Lin Yulan was already tired of listening to the nagging of the wife of Duke Rong and had long been desensitized to it. Now, listening to Madam Shao's nagging, she looked respectful but her heart was not moved at all.

Mrs. Fu had a gloomy look on her face. When she saw Lin Yulan, she couldn't help but think of the huge sum of money that was thrown away, but she couldn't get a share of it. She was so upset that she couldn't eat or sleep well for the past two days. Even in her dreams, she felt that she had lost a huge sum of money.

Then he thought about how he had originally decided to cut off Lin Yulan's chances of going out for social activities and to trap her in the back house, but this time and again, he simply couldn't keep her there.

From then on, everyone in the circle of power and nobility knew about Lady Wuwei Marquis. How could she not be invited to various banquets and gatherings?

There is no reason for me to stop it anymore.

Fu was even more troubled.

Shao Xun naturally had to attend such a major event as his brother-in-law being adopted into the Duke's Mansion, so he took a day off to accompany Lin Yulan.

The atmosphere in the mansion of Duke Rong has been quite strange and weird recently, as if a layer of low pressure has shrouded the mansion, making every servant speak and act with trepidation, fearing that they might say or do something wrong and be caught by the master and be severely punished.

In the Rongguo Mansion, except Lin Yuwei and Meng Mingchi, no one was genuinely happy.

The second wife of the Duke's Mansion hated the two people even more: Since they had been missing for so many years, why did they come back? Why didn't they come back earlier or later, but at this time?

It was Lin Yuwei who took the initiative to find the wife of Duke Rong because she accidentally learned something, which made Meng Mingchi successfully recognize his ancestry. The second house of the Duke's Mansion hated Lin Yuwei very much. Not only did they tell her to "wait and see", they also made it difficult for her to have an easy life.

During this period, she had been set up many times to trip her up and make many mistakes. Not only did she lose face in front of the servants, but she also angered the Duke's wife.

Madam Meng II even added fuel to the fire and made sarcastic remarks, and Lady Rong was even more disgusted with Lin Yuwei.

Naturally, he didn't have a good impression of Meng Mingchi.

A bastard's son, and one who grew up outside, who is good for nothing and has nothing, how could she be interested in him?

Moreover, everyone in the mansion knew very well that this bastard would eventually replace everything of their biological son!

Regarding Meng Mingchi's return home, the Duke's wife strictly guarded against it and issued a strict order, not even daring to let her own son know.

When she thought of the appearance of her own son, the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau who shook his head and sighed, and the director's words, "The oil is running out, it's time to prepare!", Lady Rongguogong was even more heartbroken, and she took out her anger on Lin Yuwei and Meng Mingchi.

As for the Crown Prince's wife, Xiao Yu, she hated Lin Yuwei even more.

Her child had a miscarriage caused by Lin Yuwei, and it turned out that Lin Yuwei was her brother's wife. The couple came back to take away everything they had.

Xiao Yu even stubbornly believed that Lin Yuwei must have deliberately caused her to have a miscarriage and that it was definitely not an accident.

She was sure that Lin Yuwei wanted to kill her unborn baby so that she and her husband would inherit everything!

It is conceivable how miserable and aggrieved Lin Yuwei must have been in such an environment.

She cried countless times behind his back.

This was not what she expected, completely different.

She was wronged and wanted to seek comfort from Brother Meng, but her Brother Meng now lived in the front yard and was not with her at all. Lady Rongguo gave him two beautiful concubines, Lumei and Xiangxue. He was dazzled by all the wealth and luxury, and with a beautiful woman in his arms, he was so proud that he didn't even remember Lin Yuwei.

The eldest branch of the Rongguo Mansion was in urgent need of a grandchild, so it was normal for the Duke's wife to reward Meng Mingchi with a maid, and no one could say anything about it.

It's not that the Duke's wife doesn't dislike Meng Mingchi, but she needs Meng Mingchi to bear a child for the eldest house, so she has no choice but to hold her nose and endure it for the time being.

Moreover, she was a shrewd person and she quickly realized that Meng Mingchi was a man with no brains, no abilities, but a narrow mind and a soft ear.

It's best to handle such people.

She felt somewhat relieved.

At least this idiot is not like Lin Yuwei, whose ambition is clearly written in his eyes.

No one told Lin Yuwei that Meng Mingchi had taken in a concubine. She was completely devastated when she found out by accident. She cried and made a fuss out of grief, and was slapped in the face by Meng Mingchi, who was so angry that the servants had to watch a good joke.

Meng Mingchi got so angry that he yelled at her and left.

The Duke's wife sent someone to punish Lin Yuwei by bringing the family rules and making her kneel in the ancestral hall to copy the family rules and reflect on her sins. She was too lazy to even show up in person.

Lin Yuwei was filled with anger and despair, and cried like a tearful person.

She finally understood what "things are different now than they were in the past" meant.

The "now is different from the past" that she had been thinking about was completely different from the current situation.

Now that it had come, she had to swallow it all.
