While Lan was calculating, she took a break from her busy schedule to ask, "What's wrong?"

The third master then complained: "Those old fellows used to rely on the old master's respect and acted arrogantly. I guess they have no good intentions and might even pass off inferior goods as good ones."

"As expected, I went to count and examine each item, and those old guys panicked. While they were trying to stop me from talking, they probably sent someone inside to exchange them! In the end, they even noticed that two items were wrong!"

"Those old bastards didn't admit it at first, and they turned the tables and said I was dazzled and saw it wrong. Bah, they didn't even know what they were doing when I was playing with this?"

"I'm not spoiling them either. I'm about to split up and leave the family. We've already fallen out. I don't even give face to the old man, so how can I give face to them?"

"I went to the old man right there and then! I asked him, if he didn't want to give us this stuff, why not just say so? Why bother making the account book look good when the goods don't match the description? Who are you trying to disgust?"

"Tsk tsk, you didn't see the old man's expression. It was terrifying. In the end, to silence me, he not only replenished the supplies, but also gave us two more shops."

As he spoke, he took out two property deeds from his pocket and placed them on the table, pushing them to Lan: "Yes, the location is not bad. We will accept it even if we don't do business with it. We can rent it out to others and earn hundreds of silver coins a year."

Lan stretched her neck, took a look, and couldn't help but feel sorry for the old marquis.

These two shops are both located on the bustling streets of the capital. To open them, you need not only thousands of silver coins, but also some power, otherwise you won't be able to get such a good location.

Is this how they get a three-bedroom apartment at a discount?

From this point of view, the third master Fu Heyin is actually quite useful.

At least he has his own unique way of dealing with the old marquis.

"You finally got it from the old man. Who are you planning to give it to?" Lan asked lightly.

When the third master heard this, he thought, this is a fatal question.

She immediately squeezed her buttocks and sat up straighter.

He cautiously asked, "How about you accept it, Yunniang?"

Lan scoffed, "My Lan family can't even manage our own dowry, who would care about this?"

The third master really wants to say, if you don’t care about me, then how can I care about you?

At first, the third master took a look at his son and daughter-in-law who were sitting next to him, looking at their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses, and then he understood!

"Then give it to Brother Yi—" He paused here, and seeing the glares from Lan and his son Fu Zhiyi, he didn't dare to test it anymore, and quickly finished his words: "—Wife, she has suffered a lot following us, so this is compensation for her."

After he finished speaking, the four murderous looks disappeared. The third master wiped his sweat off his forehead. It was a close call. He had saved his life again.

Lu Zhenzhen glanced at Lan and Fu Zhiyi, and seeing that they didn't say anything, she knew they agreed.

She took the two deeds without hesitation and gave the Third Master a rare smile: "Thank you, Master! When I receive the dividends at the end of the year, I will give Madam, Master, and the Fourth Master a big gift each."

A shop that can make money like this must not be left in the hands of the third master.

You know, men become bad when they have money, and the third master is the best example.

Now that he has no money, you can see how honest he has become and how he can handle things.

It can be seen that the third master cannot have money in his hands.

The third master pursed his lips, swallowed his grievances, and put on a smile: "Then I'll wait."

At least my daughter-in-law accepted the things, and I got a word of thanks and a big gift at the end of the year, so it wasn't a loss.

Otherwise, if I give it to my son, I'm afraid he won't even get a good look from me.

The third master quickly comforted himself.

Then we got down to business and discussed when would be the right time to move.

The third master asked someone to bring in an almanac. Everyone looked through it and found that five days later was an auspicious day for moving.

It would take another half a month to wait for such a good day.

Everyone felt that they couldn't wait that long. Who knows what kind of trouble might happen if they stayed in the Marquis' Mansion? Although it would be a bit rushed after five days, they didn't care.

The third master did mention it, "After we move to our new home, we need to find some reliable guards. Otherwise, if that bastard Ming Ge'er hires someone to do something bad behind our backs again, we won't be able to survive without a few reliable people."

Fu Zhiyi raised his eyes and glanced at the Third Master: "You seem very familiar with this routine?"

The third master said casually, "Hey, that was when we were hanging out with them before. They often did that, that, that, etc., but I didn't do anything! And you know, I've turned over a new leaf now. I stay at home every day and don't go anywhere! If you don't believe me, ask your wife."

Fu Zhiyi snorted: "After we move out, life will be completely different from what it was back home. You'd better change your bad habits as soon as possible! Otherwise, if something really happens, we won't be able to save you--"

The third master nodded quickly and said, "Don't worry, I will behave myself in the future and will never cause any trouble to you!" He was almost swearing.

Fu Zhiyi didn't say whether he believed it or not, he just stood up and walked out.

Lan asked, "Where are you going?"

Fu Zhiyi said, "Go find the old marquis and ask for him."

After saying this, he left and came back in the evening.

He handed Lu Zhenzhen a stack of indentures.

Lu Zhenzhen looked at Fu Zhiyi in confusion.

"This is?"

"This is the indenture for the guards and servants that I asked the old man for. You can keep it with confidence." Fu Zhiyi explained.

Given by the old marquis? Can I use it with confidence? Lu Zhenzhen honestly didn't trust the old marquis's credibility.

Fu Zhiyi smiled and ruffled Lu Zhenzhen's hair: "Don't worry, I only spoke to the old man, and I selected the people myself."

Since it was chosen by Fu Zhiyi, then there's nothing wrong with it.

Lu Zhenzhen carefully put away all the indentures.

Although it is advisable to move house in five days, some large luggage and furniture can be moved to the new house first.

After the Marquis' Mansion learned that the third branch was going to move into the house that Lan had brought as a dowry, the old Marquis was so angry that he could only curse the third master's son, saying that he had really ended up living off his wife?

It’s not like he didn’t give the third room a house. There are both second- and third-story houses, and the locations are good. Why can’t they live there?

Do you have to live with your wife's dowry? Isn't that embarrassing?

The Third Master stiffened his neck. "With his current position in the Third House, what choice does he have? It's good enough to be able to take him along?"

Believe it or not, as long as he said he didn't want to live in the Lan family's dowry house, he would be kicked out and live alone in the branch family's house?

Second wife Qin was also quite tempted when she heard this, and she also wanted to live near her parents' home.

It’s a pity that the second master is not as spineless as the third master, but he also chose a house not far from Lan’s dowry house and asked someone to clean it up.
