Su Muan didn't bother to waste time and got straight to the point: "We are from the Bo Mansion. Xiran... is your child. We are here today because of the incident where the two families took the wrong child away."

"First, we're here to bring Qingya back home. This was already explained in the letter. I'm sure you all understand that Qingya is our bloodline and cannot be left alone."

"Secondly, regarding Xiran, she was raised by the Bo's Mansion. They are willing to support her together in the future. As parents, you two should consider your children. I think you should know that the Bo's Mansion can provide her with better conditions than the Fang family."

Fang Jin nodded. "I fully understand what Master Su said, but... I also have two sons, and they prefer the younger sister. The three of them have a very good relationship. Honestly, after raising her for so many years, I can't bear to part with Qingya. Xiran is also my own daughter, and we are willing to raise her."

When Su Xiran heard this, she was immediately disgusted and disgusted, as if she had eaten maggots. Making her live in this small, shabby courtyard was no different from torture.

Hearing this, he didn't even look at him.

Su Muan had a polite and indifferent smile on his face, but he was unhappy in his heart.

He had already investigated what kind of life Fang Qingya had lived in Fang Jin's house over the years. Fang Jin's words sounded nice, but didn't he just want more benefits?

Fang Jin calls himself a scholar, but he is not as good as Fang Tong, a peasant who is poor but has dignity.

This is because their family does not use power to oppress others. Otherwise, even if he took the person away without paying a penny, the Fang family would have nowhere to complain.

Not wanting to argue with it, he waved his hand and the servant immediately brought the box and placed it directly on the table.

The whole family's eyes were focused on the box. The box was pitch black and looked like it was made of good wood.

Su Muan's lips were still smiling as always, with a hint of determination in them: "Parents love their children and have long-term plans for them. I hope you will bear the pain and let them go."

Old Mrs. Fang, who had been silent the whole time, curiously leaned over to open it.

The first layer of the box is a stack of banknotes!

Oh my god, so many banknotes? She flipped through them with trembling hands, and was dazzled the next second.

The second layer is full of dazzling gold, silver and jewelry. They are really golden and more dazzling than the twenty taels of silver that Wang Fujiao brought that day!

Old Mrs. Fang was so nervous and excited that she forgot to swallow her saliva. It happened that her saliva flowed out as she lowered her head. She quickly wiped it away with some embarrassment.

Seeing her so unpresentable, Su Xiran felt even more contempt for her.

They are just some vulgar things like gold and silver, is it necessary to be so embarrassed?

The whole family's breathing became a little unstable, as if they could already foresee a future of eating delicious food and wearing gold and silver jewelry.

Fang Jin remained calm, smiling as he looked at Su Muan, "We raised Qingya and put in a lot of effort, not for the money."

As soon as these words came out, the other members of the Fang family became a little anxious. If it wasn't for money, then what was it? It was just for money! However, Fang Jin had always been smart. He must have his reasons for saying this, so he kept it to himself for the time being.

Su Muan's eyes flashed with impatience, and he narrowed his eyes.

Fang Jin changed the subject: "Come to think of it, I still don't know how the two children were taken away by mistake. When the mother gave birth, she only hired one midwife, so there shouldn't have been any confusion... Could it be that woman?"

At this point, Su Muan's expression turned a little ugly. His smile disappeared, his eyes contained a warning, and he stared at him with full aura.

Fang Jin pretended not to know and waited for his next answer.

Su Muan also knew that Fang Jin was pretending to be stupid on purpose. Haha, if he didn't want gold and silver, then he wanted something bigger... He was a greedy person.

Although the whole capital knew that the wrong child had been taken away from the Bo Mansion, everyone's focus was on the deceased old lady and the old nanny.

No one had yet considered the Fang family, whose children were completely innocent and whose mothers were swapped. The Bo family certainly didn't want to remind them of this.

After thinking about it, Su Muan simply admitted: "Back then, it was indeed because the Bo Mansion did not control its subordinates strictly that the slave did such a thing. This matter was indeed wrong on the part of the Bo Mansion, so we are willing to compensate for it."

Having said this, he paused, with a hint of warning in his voice.

"I heard that your Fang family also has some skills and can start some small business. It just so happens that our uncle's family has a shop in Huai'an City. The location here is excellent. I will give it to you as an apology to Uncle Fang Jin."

As soon as he finished speaking, a servant came up and placed the title deed on the table.

He's eyes lit up, as bright as when she saw gold and silver just now!

Fang Tong's family made a lot of money from their business, and she had long been uncomfortable seeing this.

When He thought about how hard their family worked in business, they could only cooperate with restaurants at most and didn't have their own shop. Now they got one so easily, and they would definitely earn more than Fang Tong and the others!

Then their Fang family would soon become the richest in the village. Then, they would give Fang Tong a good slap in the face! When Fang Tong begged them to take him to do business, they would take the opportunity to humiliate him... He was already imagining it.

But Fang Jin didn't think so.

After all, he had been educated and seen the world, and his ambition was not to do business. So, Fang Jin closed the box containing gold and silver and sighed: "Master Su really misunderstood. You and I are both scholars. Money is just a material possession. I really didn't say this for money."

Hearing him say that they were both scholars, Su Muan's eyes flashed with sarcasm. It was really embarrassing that an old scholar without any achievements wanted to put him on the same level as himself.

Fang Jin continued, "Over the years, I've treated Qingya as my own daughter. I understand the Bo's family's desire to take Qingya back. After all, Qingya is your family's bloodline, and it's only natural for her to recognize her ancestral roots. But I also want my daughter to be in my father's arms."

As he spoke, he looked at Su Xiran with deep affection and kindness, and the meaning of his words was self-evident.

Su Xiran's face turned pale when she was looked at. She didn't want to be entangled by such a family!

The girl quickly looked at her brother, nervous and uneasy.

Seeing his sister nervous, Su Muan became even more displeased.

He was not stupid enough to believe everything Fang Jin said. If he was not after money, then he must have other goals, something bigger than money. Moreover, he mentioned scholars again when he was talking just now.

"I heard that Xiran's biological mother, He, has now become a concubine. Xiran has a great future. She can only be the legitimate daughter of a baron's family. She can't possibly be the daughter of a concubine in a peasant family."

"I'm sure Uncle Fang Jin can understand. I heard that you have devoted yourself to studying for the imperial examinations for many years. Coincidentally, the children of my uncle's family are also studying. I can recommend a famous teacher to you." There are so many meanings in these words.

Fang Jin realized that the reason why the Bo Mansion did not send Su Xiran back was probably because she had other opportunities that could bring benefits to the Bo Mansion.
