If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

"Sui Sui, come here quickly, I have something to tell you." When Jiang saw Shen Sui'an appear, she waved with a smile.

Shen Sui'an bowed and sat down next to the bed. "Is Madam feeling better?"

"It's much better now. Doctor Zhou is indeed a miracle doctor. I don't feel any pain in my lower abdomen today." Jiang smiled and said, "I can arrange your marriage in two days."

"Second Aunt is on her way back. Grandmother said that she can ask for help." Shen Sui'an said, "It is important for Madam to take care of herself."

"How can I feel at ease? The Lu family clearly wants to intimidate you. Humph, just wait and then I will use the dowry to embarrass them." Jiang snorted.

Shen Sui'an was amused.

"By the way, there is one more thing." Jiang said.

"Last time you mentioned Fangshan tea, I had someone buy a lot of it while it was cheap. Recently, word has spread everywhere that Imperial Concubine Yao likes Fangshan tea, and Aunt Cheng has heard about it. She sent someone to inquire about it early this morning, and she also wants to calculate the cash in the store."

"It seems that he intends to use all his money to buy tea."

Shen Sui'an smiled and said, "Madam can take this opportunity to make a fortune."

"The yield of Fangshan tea is not good this year, and the best quality tea is even harder to come by. Imperial Concubine Yao's preference is a fashion, and this fashion will spread throughout the capital, and of course to other places as well."

"I know what you want to say. I have already purchased another batch of snow buds. I will definitely be able to earn some dowry for you then." Jiang said with a smile.

Shen Sui'an's cheeks blushed slightly, "Madam, I didn't mean that."

"Madam, young lady, the master is back. Please go to the study." The maid reported from outside.

"Your father will definitely coax you into giving the shop to Aunt Cheng. You must not be fooled." Jiang whispered.

Shen Sui'an smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go and listen to what my father has to say."

She had been coaxed once and really thought that a few shops could win her father's true love.

I later learned that in my father's mind, only Shen Siyi and Shen Mingyao were the most important.

Who is she?

"Sui Sui, you've come at the right time. Your father has something to tell you." Shen Jianglin rarely showed a kind and amiable smile to Shen Sui'an.

Shen Sui'an heard words that were exactly the same as those in his previous life.

"I managed five stores for you before. They were originally your dowry, but the revenue has been lacking in recent years." Shen Jianglin glanced at his daughter.

"I'll pick out three more shops to add to your dowry. What do you think?"

Shen Sui'an said obediently: "Father, even if these five shops are not profitable, after all, they are the memories left to me by my mother, so I still want to keep them."

Shen Jianglin frowned and said in an unhappy tone, "Your mother is also the legal mother of Yao Ge'er and Yi Jie'er. Leaving those five shops to them can be regarded as fulfilling their mother-son relationship."

"You are my father. If you want to give the dowry my mother left for me to Aunt Cheng, just tell her directly. How could I disobey you?" Shen Suian laughed at himself.

"How dare you! How dare you speak to me like that? Where have you learned all these years of etiquette and rules?" Shen Jianglin cursed.

"Father, the etiquette and rules I learned did not teach me to use my biological mother's dowry to please a concubine, nor did it teach me to give the things my biological mother left me to the children born to the concubine."

"You are my father, I dare not disobey you. If you insist that I give five shops to Aunt Cheng, then I can only ask my grandmother and uncle first. After all...the deeds are still with them."

In fact, her uncle had someone send the house deed to her half a year ago, but Shen Sui'an didn't tell anyone.

Shen Jianglin was so angry that he raised his hand to slap him.

Shen Sui'an raised his face without fear.

"They are just five shops. What's wrong with you giving them to Aunt Cheng as a gift to show your filial piety? She is also your stepmother who watched you grow up." Shen Jianglin said.

"Since my mother passed away, it was my grandmother who took care of me and later it was my madam who protected me when I was growing up. As for Aunt Cheng, she has indulged Shen Siyi in snatching so many things from me over the years. Father, do I need to tell you one by one?" A mocking smile appeared on Shen Sui'an's lips.

Shen Jianglin glared at her, "You are the eldest sister, so what if you give way to your younger sisters and brothers? Jiang's family has raised you to be so fussy all these years!"

"Please ask my father to hand over the account books and keys of the five shops to me within three days at most. Even if there is a loss, I will not give up anything that my mother left me." Shen Suian said and bowed.

"I still have to serve my grandmother. I'll take my leave."

Shen Jianglin was so angry that he wanted to yell, but he was a man who cared about his reputation, so he could only swallow his anger.

He came to the Moon Cinema with a lot of anger in his heart.

"Master, who made you angry?" When Aunt Cheng saw his dark face, she hurried forward to comfort him.

Shen Jianglin scolded Shen Suian.

"I'll build you another shop, and you can return the other five to her. Let her manage it herself and see when the losses are gone." Shen Jianglin snorted.

Aunt Cheng rolled her eyes and said, "Okay, then I'll ask the shopkeeper to sort out the account books and return them to her."

"You are still very reasonable." Shen Jianglin held Aunt Cheng's hand with relief.

"Don't worry, our daughter's dowry will not be much worse than Sister Sui's in the future."

That's still bad.

Shen Sui'an had the dowry left for her by the Xiao family, but she didn't have a family like the Xiao family behind her, so how could she compare with Shen Sui'an.

She could only hold on to Shen Jianglin tightly and let Shen Jianglin fight for more benefits for their children.

"Master, I have invested a lot of money in the store over the years. Doesn't that mean it's all lost?" Aunt Cheng said aggrievedly.

"How about I give you two thousand taels?" Shen Jianglin pinched her chest. "Are you satisfied?"

Aunt Cheng leaned delicately in Shen Jianglin's arms, "Master, how is Madam's health? It's all my fault. Brother Yao did the wrong thing because he felt sorry for me."

"It's okay. Yao'er and Yi'er have been punished enough. Release them in two days. I will go and plead with the old lady." Shen Jianglin said.

"Who will arrange the eldest girl's marriage? Madam should not worry too much now. If there is any need for me, I will share your worries." Aunt Cheng said softly.

"I also want to apologize on behalf of Brother Yao and Sister Yi so that Madam can have more time to rest."

Shen Jianglin smiled and said, "You are thoughtful. Sister Sui treats you so well, and you are still willing to work hard for her."

Aunt Cheng: "I watched the eldest girl grow up, so naturally I hope she will be well. But I feel sorry for her. Why did she marry a bastard?"

She was so happy that she ate an extra bowl of rice every day.

Shen Sui'an was a famous lady in the capital. Everyone said that she was elegant, graceful, intelligent and smart.

What is the result?

She was supposed to marry the legitimate son of the Duke's family, but ended up marrying a bastard's son.

It really makes me feel relieved.
