Lin Yanniang had just put down the letter when she saw Nanny Zhong hurriedly come in through the stained glass window.

"Third Madam, the Second Madam is here again!"

Lin Yanniang raised her eyebrows and said, "Please ask her to come in."

The second and third He brothers were both born out of wedlock. Originally, even if the two families were not close enough, there was no need to separate them.

But Mrs. He Er relied on her eloquence and good social skills to please her mother-in-law, Old Madam He, and gained a small part of the housekeeper's power, and began to secretly make things difficult for the Third House.

Although it's not too excessive on a big scale, those little tricks and schemes are very disgusting.

In the past, Lin Yanniang's mind was not on this. In order to save trouble, she seldom considered these things seriously. If she could use her own dowry to supplement her children's expenses, she would do so herself.

It was only after getting help from her own mother that her most worrying problem was solved. With a strong backer, her two children both had bright futures, and her shop was making huge profits... Lin Yanniang now had someone to rely on, and was ready to get angry if she encountered something similar again. However, Mrs. He was also very smart and obedient. She didn't know when she stopped being annoyed by things like the materials sent to her having slight flaws, old colors, or medicinal materials of inferior quality.

Especially two days ago, he came to talk to her with a smile on his face, bringing a few small gifts. The implication of his words was that her sister's child was too honest and was persuaded to drop out of her family's private school after two years...

The second wife's words were vague, but Lin Yanniang, who already knew the situation of the three stupid children in the Zhu family, understood it immediately. She guessed that the so-called honesty was just pure stupidity.

After all, one's own private school is set up to teach one's own children.

If he can't stay still like this, he must be extremely stupid. If he continues to stay still, he will affect the other children.

The second wife meant that she heard that Old Madam Su was particularly capable in taking care of children, so she wanted to send her nephew over as well.

The second wife naturally knew that her relationship with the third brother's wife was not very good, and it was just a matter of face.

But isn’t this just a try? What if?

The first time she came, Lin Yanniang just evaded the question.

After all, Madam Su was living on the farm and was not looking after the students at the moment.

And we already have three. Whether to take more depends on what Madam Su thinks.

Now that Lin Yanniang had received the news, she felt relieved.

Her mother meant that as long as the child was not particularly mischievous and did not move around or shout when seeing a fairy shadow, disturbing others, she could stop it.

However, the Dharma is not easily passed on to outsiders, and the immortal shadows are not seen in vain.

For a student, just give him two thousand taels of silver as a token of your appreciation.

Of course, Aunt Su also said that half of the two thousand taels of silver would be donated to the charity in the city to thank the immortal for his gift.

However, it costs two thousand taels to enroll a student. Even though there are many rich people in the capital, it is not an easy thing to do.

So Aunt Su reminded Lin Yanniang in the letter that if someone came to her again to ask about it, she didn't need to act too easy...

After all, if something is obtained too easily, it is inevitable that the other party will be indifferent and difficult to deal with.

Today, the second sister-in-law came to mention it again. Although Lin Yanniang was polite, she still talked about irrelevant things and did not give a definite answer.

"Although my mother has received some blessings from the immortals, she is old and has limited energy. Mrs. Zhu was so kind that she couldn't refuse. Seeing that my mother and my brother had come to the capital without a proper place to stay, she gave them a house in East City..."

Mrs. He Er responded with a smile on her face, "Mrs. Zhu is indeed generous..."

But in his heart he was complaining: With this house, can't the third wife's two children both enter Dongcheng Academy?

When my third brother's wife mentioned the house, she couldn't be asking for a thank-you gift equivalent to the house before she would let her mother accept her nephew, right?

Although her dowry... although her dowry is more than that of my third brother's wife, whether she is asked to give the same thank-you gift as her brothers from her natal family... that is impossible.

You can't just give away half of your wealth for a kid, right?

It's not like I only have this one son!

Thinking of this, the second wife felt that this matter might not succeed.

There was no choice but to go back and listen to the sour words from my mother and my brother and sister-in-law.

They say that she is too strong-willed, only knows how to make a fuss, tries to please her stepmother-in-law every day, and takes care of the chores in the mansion. Does she think she can call the shots?

But in reality, the man is a loser, his son is mediocre, and he hasn't made much money. On the contrary, his relationship with his sisters-in-law, who he can rely on, is cold and bad. Isn't this just picking up sesame seeds but losing watermelons?

Not wanting to hear her third sister-in-law change the subject, "My mother wanted to thank Mrs. Zhu. She heard that the Zhu family had a young master who was not very good at studying, so she asked Su Xian for advice and got a method to help him become better. However, this method will take a long time to be effective."

"At that time, I was just returning a favor. Who could have imagined that among the boys sent by the Zhu family, there was also the Eighth Prince?"

When Lin Yanniang talked about this, her tone involuntarily became cheerful.

Although she had suspected the identity of the youngest boy in the Zhu family before, it was not until now that she finally made it clear.

And her mother also became famous in the capital.

The second wife really didn't want to hear Lin Yanniang say this.

It's obvious that she is the one showing off usually, and the third brother's wife can only listen!

Humph! Aren’t you still relying on your mother?

But what Lin Yanniang said was now spreading throughout the capital, and Old Madam Su was in the limelight. Even if she didn't want to hear it, she would inevitably mention it when she visited relatives and friends, so she could only smile and respond.

"That's right. In the capital, when people heard that the Eighth Prince was taught by the old lady, they all wished that their own children could get a taste of the fairy spirit!"

"Third sister-in-law, we have been sisters-in-law for many years, and you know that I am a person who talks without thinking. Over the years, it is inevitable that some of my words and some of my actions are not perfect. I am here to apologize to you, third sister-in-law."

"Second sister-in-law, please don't say that. We are all family, there is no need to be like this."

Lin Yanniang reached out to help the second wife up, and then she implicitly talked about her mother's standards for accepting students.

"My mother originally just wanted to do good deeds, so she took in the three boys from the Zhu family. I asked her in my spare time if she could take in children from other families."

The second wife's eyes lit up and she pricked up her ears to listen to Lin Yanniang's words.

"My mother also thought deeply about it and came up with an idea. She said that she would collect a maximum of 2,000 taels of silver, half of which would be donated to the charity hall in the capital, and the other half would be taken back to my hometown to worship Su Xian."

Seeing the obviously painful expression on Second Wife's face, Lin Yanniang pretended not to notice and continued talking with a smile.

"This amount of money is really not too high or too low. Mother doesn't care about the money, but if there is no threshold, you come today, he comes tomorrow, and a bunch of people come the day after tomorrow... Who will mother agree to and who will she not agree to?"
