The Buddhist lady travels through ancient times to live a leisurely life

A few years ago, he married Xie Qing. Not long after the wedding, he returned to the border. He did not have the time to talk about these things with Xie Qing, so he had no idea about her reaction.

When he came back, Xie Qing had passed away, and the people she brought from the Xie family were sent away by her mother to take care of Xie Qing's dowry. The Mu family didn't keep any of them, nor did they let them serve Mu Jinyan.

Later, when his mother talked to him about this, she just said that letting the Xie family take care of Xie Qing's dowry would make the Xie family feel at ease. Moreover, she had also agreed with the Xie family that the Mu family would not touch a penny of Xie Qing's dowry, and that the people in charge of the management would all be from the Xie family, and the accounts would be handed over to the Xie family to look at, and all these things would be left to Mu Jinyan in the future. Of course, she would also keep a copy of the account book in her hand to avoid disputes and confusion in the future.

However, Mu Jinyan is the child of the Mu family, and his discipline must be the sole responsibility of the Mu family. The servants left by Xie Qing should not interfere. She will personally select the people who will serve the child, and she will definitely be able to take good care of the child.

He was a little surprised at the time. Why did his mother handle things this way? It seemed a little inhumane.

However, he understood his mother and knew that she must have her reasons for doing so. It must be that the servants left behind by Xie Qing did something to anger his mother.

He asked politely, "The Xie family actually agreed?"

Under normal circumstances, shouldn't you value the child more? Would you rather ignore the dowry and take care of the child? The best approach should be to take care of both the child and the dowry while adhering to the boundaries.

The mother answered tactfully, "The reason why we don't let them stay to take care of the children is because we're afraid they'll say nonsense in front of the children. You'll always have to remarry in the future, and if they stir things up in front of the children, Ah Yan will become estranged from you, and will turn against her stepmother, and will not get along with her future brothers and sisters. This will become the source of chaos in the family. Let the Xie family take care of the financial matters, so that they can rest assured, but it's more reassuring for us to discipline the Mu family's children ourselves."

He understood at that time that the servants left by Xie Qing must have been talking nonsense in front of the child. Fortunately, the child was still young, and these provocations had no effect, but it would be hard to say what would happen if things went on for a long time.

His mother also told him, "Lord Xie and Xie Lang are two sensible people. They know our family and trust you. They know that we will definitely not treat Ah Yan badly. They also know that the reason I sent everyone away must be that these people are not trustworthy in their work. It is the servants' problem, not ours. They said it frankly, saying that the child is ours, and since the dowry has entered the Mu family, it will belong to Ah Yan in the future, so they should not look at the accounts anymore. They said that our two families have been friends for so long, is it possible that we don't even have this little trust?"

These two people want to take care of both the child and the dowry at the same time, but they won't go overboard.

"But the Marquis's wife didn't think so. She agreed without hesitation. She also asked me to understand that she was doing it for the good of her grandson."

For the Marquis’ wife, taking good care of her dowry might be more important than taking good care of her children.

"Xie Qing's personality is a bit similar to that of the Marquis's wife. Both of them attach great importance to these things. She took over the household duties as soon as she came into the family. She mentioned to me several times, openly and secretly, why the Mu family's assets are so small. I didn't tell her about our family's assistance to the wounded soldiers because I was afraid she wouldn't be able to accept it."

"She was pregnant at the time, and her pregnancy was not looking good, so I asked her if she wanted to put the household affairs aside and I would take care of them for her first, and then hand them over to her after the baby was born. She disagreed, probably because she didn't trust me and was afraid that I would be greedy for power and was unwilling to let go. So I had no choice but to give up."

Fortunately, the Mu family's property was divided into two parts, and the accounts of the inner house and the outer house were also separated. Xie Qing only took care of the inner house. If she knew that so much money was spent on "irrelevant" people, she would definitely be more depressed, and it would be hard to say whether Mu Jinyan could be born safely.
