"Thank you grandma."

Liu Tian'ai carefully put away the banknote, her eyes filled with emotion.

Although she was a concubine who was carried in through the side door, she also brought with her twenty-four loads of dowry, and those dowries were all good things specially prepared for her by Tian.

Among these dowries, Liu Tian'ai also had two very profitable shops. To be honest, she was not short of money.

At first, Liu Tianshu set up a small kitchen for her and gave her five taels of silver per day for living expenses, but she didn't feel much about it.

Even when she heard that Gu Jinyun had decided to close down her small kitchen, she was just sad about Gu Jinyun's betrayal and didn't really care about the daily expense of five taels of silver.

Now that Tian came over and gave her five thousand taels of silver notes, she didn't even care about that little bit of money and her mood improved a lot.

"Girl, you've suffered this time, take this."

As she spoke, Aunt Tian also gave her a silver note for five hundred taels of silver.

Compared with Tian's five thousand taels of silver, Tian Yi Niang's five hundred taels was really not enough. However, Tian Yi Niang's status was there, and it was rare for her to come up with five hundred taels of silver.

After receiving the silver note, Liu Tian'ai opened her arms and hugged the two of them tightly.

"Grandma, mother, I am much better now because of your love. Please don't worry about me."

"This is what a good daughter of a mother should be."

Aunt Tian lovingly pushed a strand of Liu Tian'ai's hair, which was wet with sweat, behind her ear.

"As long as you are well, your grandmother and I will be relieved. The old lady and the eldest lady of the Marquis' Mansion are still waiting outside. We can't talk for too long, so we will leave now."

"Ok!"

Liu Tian'ai responded softly, her eyes full of reluctance, and held Tian's and Aunt Tian's hands tightly.

No matter how reluctant she was, Tian just patted Liu Tian'er's hand, then stood up and walked out the door.

Seeing Tian leave, Aunt Tian didn't want to stay any longer, so she patted Liu Tian'er's hand vigorously, took two quick steps, and helped Tian walk out the door.

Liu Tian'ai didn't dare to move. She watched the two people walk out of the room and let out a breath.

He took out the silver bills he had just put away, and there was no trace of reluctance in his eyes, only full of calculations.

Although Aunt Tian was not a qualified mother, she said one thing right, that is, she was Liu Tianshu's concubine and also a noble concubine, who could be promoted to the main wife after the mistress of the house passed away.

Now her status is not high enough, and she has no children. In addition, Liu Tianshu is still young and also has no children. She is in trouble now, and she is the most suspicious, so we can't act rashly for the time being.

Liu Tianshu had no idea that someone was thinking about her, and she was chatting with Hou in the pavilion.

Seeing Tian and Aunt Tian coming out, the two of them stood up immediately.

"Grandma, Aunt Tian, ​​why didn't you spend more time with Aunt Liu?"

"Miss, although Sister Yi is married to the Marquis's mansion as a concubine, she is still your biological sister. How can you always call her Aunt Liu?"

Aunt Tian hated the title of aunt for half her life. She never expected that her daughter would become someone else's concubine.

Being in the Marquis' Mansion, it was not wrong to call her Liu Tianshu like that, but it sounded particularly harsh to Aunt Tian's ears.

Facing Aunt Tian's unhappy look, Liu Tianshu smiled and said, "Aunt Tian, ​​this is the Marquis's Mansion. The only Third Young Lady here is Sister Qing from the Mansion."

Hou had been standing aside watching Aunt Tian embarrass Liu Tianshu, and only after hearing her words did she realize something was wrong.

"Sister Shu is right. Since you have entered the Marquis' Mansion, you must abide by the rules of the Marquis' Mansion. Aunt Tian, ​​I don't know how you do it in the Liu family. Aunt Liu entered the Marquis' Mansion, and she is just an aunt."

Hou spoke, and Aunt Tian opened her mouth to refute, but Tian glared at her.

"My mother-in-law is right. As the saying goes, there is no order without rules. Since I am married into the Marquis's mansion, I must abide by the rules of the mansion."

After saying that, Tian turned to Liu Tianshu and said, "Shujie, Aijie is your biological sister. I hope you will take good care of her in the Marquis' Mansion in the future."

"Don't worry, grandma. I will take good care of Aunt Liu."

Liu Tianshu agreed with a smile.

Aunt Tian wanted to say something, but was stopped by a look from Tian.

"It's getting late, we should go back."

After saying that, Tian led Aunt Tian and the servants of the Liu family out the door.

After Tian left, Liu Tianshu naturally wanted to accompany her. She sent them out of the second gate, watched them get on the carriage, and then slowly returned to the inner courtyard.

"Miss, I just took a look and found that the old lady and Aunt Tian brought a lot of things to Aunt Liu, but left nothing for you. The old lady is really biased."

"There's no need to feel bad about those worthless trinkets."

Liu Tianshu chuckled.

Tian had always been generous to Liu Tian'ai. If she was still sad because of such a small matter, she would have been angry to death countless times.

Liu Lanqi is the Minister of Personnel. In addition to the monthly salary he receives, he also has a lot of gray income.

Most of the money went into Lin's pocket, and the remaining small portion was kept by Aunt Tian and Tian.

Liu Tian'ai already had her own dowry, and Liu Tianshu didn't care how much money Tian gave her, but she had to be on guard against her.

"Qingshan, find someone to get in touch with Biyu and Bihe. They don't need to do anything, just build a good relationship with them."

"Yes!"

Hearing Liu Tianshu's instructions, Qingshan bowed respectfully.

She knew that Hou had bribed two spies among the maids and old women in Liu Garden, but the only person Hou wanted to deal with was the piece of meat in Liu Tian'ai's belly.

Now that the child is gone, Hou will no longer keep an eye on the situation in Liuyuan.

It was naturally easy to bribe the maids and old women who had just been bought into Liu Tian'ai's courtyard, but those people could not get any useful information about Liu Tian'ai at all.

The only ones who knew what was really useful were Biyu and Bihe, who married with Liu Tian'ai.

After Qingshan left, Liu Tianshu did not rush back to Wutongju, but came to the garden.

With the arrival of summer, the flowers in the garden are in full bloom, and the scenery is breathtaking.

Now there are several servants setting up a rack in the garden, which is used for covering the veil.

Liu Tianshu did not approach the side of the scaffolding, but turned a corner and walked towards a sea of ​​flowers not far away.

"Miss, be careful..."

Liu Tianshu was admiring the beautiful scenery around her when Guan Xue suddenly pulled her hard.

As Guan Xue exerted more force, Liu Tianshu lowered her gaze to her feet.

Only then did I discover that among this cluster of flowers, there were two small clusters of flowers growing in the middle of the road.

Liu Tianshu frowned and walked forward. She found that the flowers and plants here were becoming increasingly sparse. The scenery looked okay from a distance, but when she got closer, she discovered that there were many dead branches and leaves on the flowers and plants here.

The Marquis' Mansion will hold a banquet in more than a month, and Liu Tianshu doesn't want such a mistake to happen in her own home.

"Someone, bring Fang's mother to me..."
