Chan Yi shook her head, but there was a vague shadow of a woman in her mind, and the faint floral scent on her body, but she couldn't remember it at all.

"I don't remember anything. I only know that since I can remember, I have lived with my sisters in a small alley in Luyang City. There was a person named Madam Chun, and we all called her mother. She was very cruel to us and would often not let us eat." Chan Yi clenched the corner of her clothes in her hands. She felt suffocated and scared just thinking about it.

Pei Jin ruffled her hair, hugged her tightly, and gently comforted her, "Chan Yi, it's all over. I will never let you suffer again. Be good and go to sleep. You are tired too."

Seeing Chan Yi closing her eyes obediently, Pei Jin lost all desire to sleep. His little girl was really pitiful. She didn't even know who her biological parents were and had suffered so much. In this life, he must treat her well.

After Pei Jin came back, the originally lifeless mansion immediately changed. Madam Wang was in a good mood. She waved her hand and gave money to all the servants. Everyone was smiling, knowing that Madam Wang was their God of Wealth.

In Haitang Courtyard, Liu Wan'er hadn't gotten up for two or three days. She leaned against the back of the bed and cried.

"Aunt, would you like to eat something?" Hong'er asked cautiously, holding a bowl of minced meat and bird's nest porridge.

"Where is the Marquis? Why doesn't he come to see me?" Liu Wan'er asked sobbingly.

"The Marquis..." Hong'er hesitated, glanced at Liu Wan'er and said through gritted teeth, "He went to the main courtyard early in the morning."

"My son, my son, you have been set up by someone... Who told you that you can't compare to him because he is the legitimate son... It must be those two vixens in the main courtyard who have seduced the Marquis' soul away... I knew it... The Marquis dislikes me for being old..." Upon hearing this, Liu Wan'er started crying loudly again.

"Aunt, please don't cry. If the Marquis hears..." Hong'er stood at the head of the bed, at a loss, and said with a bitter face.

"Get lost, you don't like me either!" Liu Wan'er picked up a pillow and threw it at Hong'er's face. The porcelain pillow hit her head hard, and Hong'er cried out in pain.

"How long are you going to make trouble day after day?" Pei Yunshan pushed open the door with a stern face and shouted, "Xun'er is like this because of your indulgence! He has all kinds of women, but he still fell in love with big brother's concubine! It's really shameful."

"My Lord, My Lord." Liu Wan'er saw Pei Yunshan as if she had found a life-saving straw. She immediately stood up and rushed over to hug him. "This is all a conspiracy, My Lord, don't believe it. This is the Madam and that bitch whore teaming up to punish our Xun'er."

"What are you talking about? Don't you know that your good son confessed everything in the palace, saying that he had his eyes on that girl for a long time. It's really embarrassing. Do you know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said? He said that in our Pei family, there is no distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children, and the social order is in chaos!" Pei Yunshan said as he pushed Liu Wan'er away. She staggered and fell to the ground, with broken porcelain piercing her legs. This time, she really cried loudly.

In the main courtyard, Mrs. Wang was looking at the account book leisurely. When she heard Mother Zhang talking about the things in Haitang Courtyard, she just smiled faintly.

"Madam, you are so kind-hearted." Mother Zhang said sincerely, "That concubine Liu really doesn't know how to appreciate the blessings she has. If she had a little bit of gratitude, she wouldn't have done these things. And the second young master, he looks gentle and elegant, but it turns out that..."

"Let her be. If she continues to do this, she will have a good life in the future. As for the second son, he has also suffered retribution. These eyes... If Shenzhi hadn't suppressed this matter for the reputation of the mansion, the second son would never be able to hold his head up in his life." Madam Wang put down the account book and waved to Shaoyao and Jasmine, "Come here and press them for me. You two are really good at it."

Mrs. Wang pursed her lips and smiled. Not to mention Pei Yunshan, even she herself could not leave these two soft and beautiful skinny horses. It was also because her son had good self-control.

After the massage, Mrs. Wang felt refreshed. She said to Mother Zhang, "Have you sent out the invitations to the Lotus Banquet? Have you arranged everything for tomorrow?"

"Ma'am, don't worry. We have taken care of everything." Mother Zhang said with a smile, "After the engagement is arranged, our young master should marry in a grand ceremony."

"Since he came back, things have been happening one after another. They have just stopped." Madam Wang laughed softly, "The more people there are, the more problems there are. There is nothing we can do about it. In the future, Shenzhi will marry a virtuous wife, and I will hand over all the household expenses in the mansion to him, and I will also enjoy my life for a few days."

"Madam, you can't always think about giving up. Think about it, even if the Crown Prince's wife comes into the family, the young couple still have a lot of things to do. If you hand over all the household affairs to her at once, what if the Crown Prince's wife gets pregnant, will you still be willing to let her worry about the affairs of the mansion?" Mother Zhang said happily, fanning Madam Wang with a fan in her hand.

"That's true." Mrs. Wang smiled and suddenly thought of An'er with big eyes. She felt anxious. What if she could never see him again?

"I miss An'er. Why hasn't Chanyi brought him here these two days?" Mrs. Wang sat up straight and looked outside.

"Madam, have you forgotten that the prince did not allow her to leave the garden, fearing that she would run into..." Madam Zhang whispered, "fearing that she would run into Aunt Liu and the others."

"Humph! Why should I be afraid of her? I'll arrange four strong maids for her from now on at Chanyi's place. Let's see who dares to mess with her." Madam Wang snorted coldly. "She can't take care of her children, but she's looking for someone weak to pick on. I'll let her go crazy for a few more days. When the Marquis gets tired of her, we'll see what she'll do!"

"Madam, don't worry about this matter. The prince has people on his side. He just doesn't want Chan Yi to leave the garden." Mother Zhang said softly.

"That's strange. Is it possible that even this is not allowed here?" Mrs. Wang waved her hand and said.

"Think about it, you have the most people here. If the Second Master doesn't come, there's still the Third Master who comes to pay his respects every day!" Mother Zhang said in a low voice, "The Prince is afraid and is thinking of hiding a beautiful girl in his golden house."

Mother Zhang said it lightly, but she saw that the lady's face became even gloomier.

"Ma'am, what are you doing?" she asked cautiously.

"It's okay." Madam Wang sighed softly, feeling a little uncomfortable. Seeing her son loving Chan Yi and her son like pearls and treasures, if in the future...

She didn't want to think about it anymore. She had to find a suitable wife for her son first. She took the banquet roster and started to look at it.

But it only took a short while to pick out a few suitable candidates.

Among them, the eldest daughter of Marquis Wuyang was the one she liked best. She had seen this girl several times. Although she was not extremely beautiful, she was pretty, gentle and quiet, very well-behaved, and proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. The most important thing was that she had been helping her mother manage the household affairs for a long time and was an expert in accounting. The huge family business in her mansion also needed such a daughter-in-law to manage it, otherwise there would be many people coveting this family business.

What's even more rare is that the wife of Marquis Wuyang is also interested in marrying me. If the two children fall in love with each other, the marriage will go through very quickly.

"Madam, what do you mean? The Marquis said this morning that he wanted the Crown Prince to marry Princess Qingyuan. I think this princess is a really good person. Our Crown Prince and she are a perfect match, very compatible." Mother Zhang said quietly.
