[Li Chunlan's father is one of the four major salt merchants in Yangzhou. Before Yangzhou suffered a flood disaster, the price of salt was sky-high. Other salt merchants raised the price, but the Li family did not follow the crowd. They even opened their warehouses to provide disaster relief and jointly controlled the price of salt with local officials, thus avoiding a huge public resentment. The Li family had a very good reputation, and the Yangzhou prefect also asked the court for merit for them, and granted them a yellow jacket and a fourth-rank official position.] The system immediately opened eight.

When Li Chunlan heard the system praising her father, her chest instantly straightened up.

But Xu Wanying quickly poured cold water on her: [Hey, the eldest sister-in-law is a merchant? I remember that in ancient times, merchants were the lowest class. I'm afraid that the family status of the Loyalty Marquis Mansion is not something that Li Chunlan can climb up to, right? Is there any hidden story behind this? ]

[The host is really discerning. Even if Li Chunlan's father was a fourth-rank official, he was just a figurehead, and it was impossible for him to marry into the Zhongyi Marquisate. But at that time, the Zhongyi Marquisate was in a great change and was in urgent need of a large amount of silver for turnover, and the head of the Li family happened to be in Beijing to report on his work. One was a marquisate that was short of money, and the other was a salt merchant who was rich and wanted to curry favor with the family. The two families hit it off and got married. ]

[Li Chunlan's dowry was so large that it filled up the backyard of the mansion. She gave away half of the one million taels of silver she brought with her that night. It can be said that this marriage was bought with silver.]

Xu Wanying exclaimed on the spot: "Oh my god, one million taels to buy a marriage, how arrogant. No wonder my sister-in-law always acts like a jewelry rack, wishing to hang all her jewelry on her body when she goes out. It turns out that the jewelry box can't hold all the jewelry, so she can only hang it on her body."

You have to know that even for a wealthy family marrying off their daughter, a dowry of 100,000 yuan is already a generous amount, and Li Chunlan's dowry is enough for the wealthy family to marry off ten legitimate daughters, not to mention her other dowry.

[It was because of Li Chunlai's dowry that helped the Loyalty Marquis's Mansion to overcome difficulties that Li Chunlan was so tough. Previously, Cen wanted to educate Jiang Pan, thinking that Li Chunlan was a merchant's daughter and could not raise a good child. However, Li Chunlan made a big fuss and alarmed the Li family in Yangzhou, making both sides embarrassed. Cen no longer interfered in the affairs of the first house. ]

Xu Wanying clicked her tongue: [I thought so. My mother-in-law seems to be a smart person. How could she allow the eldest grandson of the Marquis's mansion to be raised like this? It turns out that she is too soft-hearted to open her mouth. ]

[However, it is not entirely Li Chunlan's fault that Fatty was raised like this. If a son is not well educated, it is the fault of the father. Fatty's biological father should bear most of the responsibility.]

[Ah, I understand! Could it be that my uncle did it on purpose? He is a son of a noble family, but he married a merchant girl. His wife is so vulgar and has no demeanor of a lady from a noble family. He has long been dissatisfied. He even thinks that Li Chunlan is taking advantage of the situation and often threatens the family. Even Cen, the mother-in-law, has to stay away from her. Therefore, he wants to spoil the little fat boy.]

[In the future, when the little fat boy gets into trouble, gets into fights, steals, and lives a shitty life. Li Chunlan is always worried about her eldest son, and becomes ill from worry. She dies at a young age, leaving the position of the Crown Prince's Consort vacant. At this time, Jiang Chengzhong can marry another beautiful woman, give birth to a son and raise him well, without delaying the revitalization of the Loyalty Marquis Mansion. The Li family has no place to complain, after all, it was not him who forced Li Chunlan to death, but his grandson. ]

[This is a very good hand of card playing. As expected of a noble family. The means used are so dirty! ]

Xu Wanying looked at Jiang Chengzhong with a look of disgust on her face.

This guy looks big and strong, and looks honest and sincere, but I didn't expect that he has such dirty thoughts!

Li Chunlan, who was hugging her son and yelling happily, suddenly lost her cry in her throat when she heard this theory, as if someone was strangling her neck.

The little fat boy didn't dare to struggle anymore. He stared at his father with wide eyes, his face full of disbelief.

The mother and son had the same expression, as if they were questioning Jiang Chengzhong.

You are such a sinister man!

"I didn't--" Jiang Chengzhong subconsciously opened his mouth to explain.

He had just started talking when Li Chunlan on the opposite side rushed over and started fighting.

"Jiang Chengzhong, tell me, are you just looking forward to divorcing me? You have such a cruel heart. Not only do you want to kill Pan Ge'er, you also want to kill me. This will make room for you, right?"

"You are such a heartless person. My Li family helped you so much in the past. Wuwuwu..."

Li Chunlan was really shocked and scared, her crying was so loud that even her complaints could not be heard, she was really sad.

"Nonsense, I beat Pan Ge'er for a serious matter. If he is not good, how can he inherit this mansion? Don't make blind guesses."

"If I really have any ill will towards you, then let the thunderbolt strike me to death. In my next life, I will be reborn as an animal and be bullied forever!"

Jiang Chengzhong wanted to explain, but he was not good at speaking. In desperation, he could only swear a poisonous oath.

Li Chunlan stopped crying and instead anxiously asked him to spit.

"Pah, pah, pah, that doesn't count. It's OK if you have this intention, but you can't say such curse words."

Xu Wanying was full of sarcasm: [Men's words are deceitful. How many men put down their lofty words, saying that they would not marry anyone but you, and then turned around and married someone else for profit. ]

The couple, who had originally reconciled, became hostile again after hearing these words.

Fortunately, the system popped up at this time: [Host, I didn't find any signs that Jiang Chengzhong had abandoned her after having sex with her. ]

[That's only temporary. Who can tell what will happen in the future? Look at me, my mother-in-law. I was fooled by my sweetheart before and almost ruined my reputation.] Xu Wanying said, adding fuel to the fire.

Jiang Chengzhong was sweating all over and had a bitter smile on his face.

He wanted to open his mouth and tell his third sister-in-law to shut up. He didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to have this magical system.

What the system says is all true, but the third brother's wife's thoughts are not entirely correct. They are mixed with a lot of her personal emotions, which can easily go wrong.

For example, at this moment, Li Chunlan kept pinching him, fearing that he would do something ridiculous in the future.

Moreover, as the younger generation, they heard the secrets about the Cen family, and they didn't even dare to look at their mother.

"What's going on so early in the morning? What on earth is going on?"

At this moment, the long-awaited Marquis Zhongyi finally showed up.

He did not come alone, he was followed by a young and beautiful woman. The woman had a rosy complexion and shy eyes, and looked even happier than the new bride Xu Wanying.

Everyone's attention was diverted. Xu Wanying looked at the old and young couple and her eyes lit up instantly.

[Who is the woman behind my father-in-law? ] She asked excitedly.

System answer: [He took in a new concubine last night. She was originally given to him by someone else. He felt that he was getting old and had never wanted one. But these days, maybe the old tree is in love and wants to bloom again, so he took her in. ]

[Tsk tsk, a tree of pear blossoms overshadows a crabapple tree, what an old fool!] Xu Wanying's comment was quite venomous.
