As soon as she stepped out of Du Sanniang's courtyard, Li Shiliu handed the box full of Du Sanniang's dowry items to Tong Wenjie beside her without hesitation.

"This is the private money your mother left for you. It would be better for you to keep it yourself." Li Shiliu advised kindly.

However, surprisingly, Tong Wenjie shook his head and refused.

“No, I can’t have it.

This is a gift specially given to you by your mother. It is also her deep affection for you. Please accept it with a smile.

Besides, my mother is right. With my current abilities, I simply cannot protect these properties.

I am so incompetent that I can't even guarantee my own safety in this mansion.

If these treasures fall into my hands, I'm afraid they will end up being taken advantage of by others.

It would be better to give it directly to you, the princess!"

It seems that the beating last night did play some role, at least it made Tong Wenjie have a relatively clear understanding of himself.

To put it bluntly, Tong Wenjie finally began to have some self-awareness and was no longer blindly confident. He mistakenly believed that he was really a majestic and admired figure at the slightest sign of trouble.

Li Shiliu didn't act pretentiously anymore, and handed the box to the maid Feicui beside her, and said to Tong Wenjie: "Since you said so, I will keep it for you temporarily.

I just took a close look at your mother's current appearance, and it seems that she is indeed in a critical condition and on the verge of death!

I can help you invite a royal doctor to come and see her, but you must not have too much hope for her condition to get better. You should be prepared to accept the worst possible outcome in advance."

Having said this, Tong Wenjie slowly lowered his head with a heavy heart.

In fact, Tong Wenjie knew very well in his heart about his mother Du Sanniang's current physical condition. He just didn't want to face such a cruel and ruthless truth.

Li Shiliu also did not say anything more, and the two of them walked back to the courtyard where they lived in silence.

After returning to the yard, Li Shiliu immediately ordered others to close the gate tightly, and then sat alone in the main hall, took a sip of tea gracefully, and rested for a while.

"Tong Wenjie!

Your father is getting older, and your brother has lost his manhood. Now the emperor hopes that you can shoulder the responsibility of continuing the Tong family's bloodline and expanding its branches.

After all, the future of the Yueguo Mansion depends on you! So, you must fulfill your obligations and responsibilities. "

"what?"

Tong Wenjie seemed to have just come back to her senses from her thoughts. She was still a little dazed for a moment and asked back blankly.

"I mean, I want you to devote yourself to reproducing offspring for the Yueguo Mansion. You don't have to worry about other things. I have arranged everything properly.

Since the mistress you keep outside has signed the contract to sell herself, she can stay by your side as a maid. In addition, I have specially selected ten concubines for you.

You can rest assured that they are all girls of good families with clean backgrounds and there is absolutely nothing wrong with them. From now on, I will live in the main courtyard, and you can live in the outer study.

As for your concubines and maids, they will be arranged to live in the west wing. As for the time they serve you, I will ask the doctor to make arrangements as soon as possible.

Three days for each person, all chosen during the time when women are most likely to conceive.

The ten concubines I prepared for you have all been delivered. Please see if they suit your taste."
