This is the whole thing. Mrs. Yuan was feeling uneasy, so she showed extreme humility when meeting Lan and Shen Li today.

She opened two more small boxes. One box contained ten golden ingots, and the other box contained ten large silver ingots.

"This is the funeral ceremony my family prepared for my late wife. I heard that your family plans to welcome her into the Shen family ancestral hall and relocate her grave. My late wife saved my son's life. Now that she has passed away, I cannot repay her life-saving grace. I can only devoutly add some bricks and tiles to her grave to show my sincere gratitude."

Zhao was suddenly startled.

How did Mrs. Yuan know about something that just happened last night? And how did she know it in such detail?

The others also had different expressions.

Mrs. Yuan did this, which was something Lan had not expected.

If she had some doubts about the Yuan family's sincerity just now, now that doubt has been eliminated by 50%.

The fact that he came to the Shen Mansion and brought up the matter of moving his sister's tomb into the ancestral hall showed that this matter had been cleared up in the Wei Mansion. If the Shen family regretted it, the Wei Mansion would personally inquire about it.

The Shen family members' faces turned blue, red and purple.

Madam Yuan lowered her eyes, put the things back into the box, and said calmly, "Early this morning, news spread in the capital that the Shen family was preparing to bury the late Madam with great ceremony. I'm sure the General's Mansion has heard about it too."

Lan nodded, "Yes, I heard it from the maid who went shopping early this morning."

"That's right," Madam Yuan said, "There's something you may not know yet. The master in the capital who was best at helping people resolve wronged souls has died. His disciples said that he was punished by heaven for revealing the secrets..."

"What?" Zhao was shocked and stood up suddenly from the chair.

Even the old lady and Mrs. Wan gasped in shock, staring at Mrs. Yuan.

"Why are you ladies looking at me like that? What I said is all true," Madam Yuan said. "The Buddhist Registrar's Office sent people over to inspect it early this morning. I even ran into them on the way here. I heard that all they have to do is wait for the Dali Temple to sign their verdict. Then they can cremate the master's body on fragrant wood, and finally collect the relics to make a golden statue."

The Shen family watched Mrs. Yuan's mouth opening and closing, their ears buzzing.

After a night of calming down from last night's strange events, they were filled with doubts and were just about to consider whether they were reliable, when they unexpectedly heard the news of the master's passing.

Thinking of the master's words before he left, that he would not live long...

It's so appalling.

Madam Yuan signaled the maid to close the box in front of her and went to the second box.

As soon as it was opened, everyone's eyes were dazzled.

There were two sets of headdresses neatly arranged in the box. One set was made of pure gold, with exquisite workmanship, and it was obvious that it was an extraordinary item.

One set is made of bright emerald green gemstones, which are extremely rare and there is no other set in the entire capital.

"This is a gift from me to my eldest daughter," Madam Yuan said. "I heard that when the general was fighting in the Western Regions, he obtained a healing ointment from a strange man. It's quite miraculous. I would like to ask the general's wife and Miss Shen to help my rebellious son get a portion of this ointment to heal my unruly child."

When she mentioned her son, her eyes became moist.

Her son was in pain day and night, and she, as a mother, felt as if her heart was being fried in oil.

I have heard that the General of Cavalry has a miracle medicine, but I have never found a chance to ask for it.

She simply came here to ask for help today. For the sake of her son, she was willing to put herself at the lowest level, give the best jewelry, and say the most humble words.

Under the two sets of headdresses was a box filled with pearls and agates, as well as two gold bracelets and two jade bracelets.

Madam Yuan showed Lan the gifts one by one, then closed the box and bowed deeply to her. "I beg the General's wife to help me. Please speak well of this to the General and the old master and mistress of the mansion. As long as it can appease everyone's anger and make up for the grievances that the young lady has suffered, not to mention giving me my fortune, even if I have to kneel down and kowtow, I will gladly do it."

After saying this, she lifted up her skirt and was about to kneel down.

This gave the Lan family a big scare.

When she came, she said that she was here to make sure no one bullied Li'er, but she never said anything like this would happen.

The Duke of Wei's Mansion suddenly showed goodwill, but she would not do that.

This means that whether Yuan Zhilin forgives her or not, and whether to give the ointment or not is not up to her to decide. Li'er has to agree to it herself.

The ladies of the Shen family had obviously thought of this as well. The old lady hurriedly said to Nanny Sun, "Quickly invite the eldest daughter out to meet the guests."

Shen Li was in the warm room next door, and could hear everything clearly through the thin wooden wall.

From what we have seen today, the Yuan family is indeed sincere.

Ever since I met my uncle, the resentment and anger I felt at my mother's funeral hall have gradually faded.

She felt that she couldn't just vent her anger and had to learn to act from her uncle's perspective.

For example, in the Duke of Wei's Mansion, if my uncle really wanted to turn against the Yuan family, he would have gone to the Yuan family's door long ago, and there would be no such thing as Madam Yuan coming to apologize.

Now that their uncle had agreed to let them apologize in person, money was secondary. The truth was that they had not reached the point of falling out with the Yuan family.

When she wrote the letter, she asked the Yuan family to talk to her uncle, because she knew that the Shen family could not seek justice for her and her mother, but her uncle could.

However, she didn't expect that her uncle would beat Duke Wei directly to vent her anger.

Then he forced the Yuan family to send so many things. This is not a way to vent his anger, it is clearly an opportunity to rob.

Shen Li was laughing so hard in her heart, but she had to suppress it on her face.

Lan asked her to bow to Madam Yuan, and she did so obediently. When she was asked to say whether she forgave him or not, she said yes.

Mrs. Yuan was visibly relieved.

He hurriedly asked for the plaster again.

Shen Li remained silent about this matter.

She has no control over whether her uncle can give it to her or not.

But she glanced at the two big boxes.

Since she was satisfied with the gift, she could give the antidote to her uncle and let her uncle cure Yuan Zhilin.

Everyone knows that the eldest son of the Yuan family has a strange illness. If his uncle saves him, the few punches he received from Duke Wei will be nothing. The Yuan family will be happy to beat him again.

From now on, the Yuan family not only owes their mother for saving their lives, but also owes their uncle for saving their lives.

If the Yuan family dares to do anything to hinder their uncle, they will be drowned by the spit of outsiders.

Ok, deal.

Shen Li lowered her head in thought, her eyebrows curved unintentionally, and she smiled with her lips pursed.

Mrs. Yuan secretly looked at Miss Shen. Rumor has it that she was a country girl who was not worthy of being in public, but she didn't expect that she was so stunning in person.

Yes, it's stunning.

She is not covered in dust, nor is she afraid to see people. She does not have flickering eyes staring at the ground. Instead, she is graceful and has a kind of grand and comfortable beauty.

Logically speaking, this kind of temperament should not appear in a teenage girl, but it appears and is fully displayed in Shen Li.

She also had those star-like, unfathomable eyes, a face like the bright moon, skin whiter than snow, and a graceful demeanor. She was as elegant as a newly blooming lotus. Everyone's attention was involuntarily drawn to her.

The contrast with what she had imagined was so great that Mrs. Yuan was really amazed by Shen Li.

Last night, when the Duke broke off the engagement, he scolded her for indulging her son and calling her a loving mother who had ruined her son. At that time, she was still feeling dissatisfied.

Seeing you today, I feel so regretful.

……

The two sides were finally able to sit down in peace.

The Shen family breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that there was no fight.

Mrs. Yuan also brought gifts for the other girls. Although they were not as expensive as Shen Li's, they were still not something that ordinary people could afford.

Shen Yan and Shen Lin were very happy and accepted the gift obediently.

Shen Yao was originally very happy, but when she saw the Duke's wife take off the bracelet on her wrist and give it to Fang Mingwan, her face darkened.

However, Mrs. Yuan made it clear that this was a visiting card to ask the general to give her ointment, and there would be a generous reward after the task was completed.

Shen Yao was secretly angry.

If Shen Li asked for the ointment and gave it to him in the name of the Shen family, this favor would belong to the Shen family and to his father.

By that time, the gifts sent by the Duke of Wei's Mansion will also belong to the Shen family, so can't they pick any one they want?

Shen Li is a traitor who eats the rice of the Shen family and spends the money of the Shen family. When good things happen to her, she doesn't think about the Shen family. I'll tell my father and kick her out.
