Tragic death and rebirth, the daughter of a general poisoned the government and the country

"Miss, the Ruchang Marquis's Mansion sent more than a dozen boxes of betrothal gifts."

Every morning Shi Lan would report to Lin Yushu about all the major and minor events in Bixiao Courtyard.

With Shi Lan's help in taking care of the yard, Lin Yushu can do what she wants without any worries.

At this moment, after Shi Lan finished talking about the trivial matters in the yard, she did not leave.

Instead, she told Lin Yushu what Cuizhu had found out and looked at her with a worried look on her face.

Sending a betrothal gift was a very important matter, indicating that the two families had already finalized the marriage. It had only been over a month, and the Second Lady was acting too quickly!

Lin Yushu sneered in her heart, how could she not be happy? The Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet on August 15th was approaching.

The old lady did not react on the day she received the imperial edict. But so many days have passed, no matter how dumb she is, she should have reacted.

At the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, Lin Yushu, who was commended by the Emperor and had a royal jade token, would definitely be a hot commodity. Those noble ladies who wanted to marry her would certainly be fond of her.

By then, if Lin Yushu's marriage is still not settled, perhaps the Queen or even the Emperor will intervene!

The old lady will never allow such a thing to happen!

So she ordered the second wife to marry into the Ruchang Marquis's Mansion as quickly as possible, and to make sure the marriage was arranged before the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet.

"This marriage will not be mine, let alone a mere dozen boxes of betrothal gifts."

Lin Yushu answered with great confidence. She was waiting for the palace banquet to let the old lady and the second lady know what it meant to shoot oneself in the foot.

They want to marry into the Ruchang Marquis's Mansion? Then Lin Yushu will make them enemies!

-

Inside Ci'an Hospital.

"Is everything ready?"

The weather was still hot, but the old lady was wearing a headband on her head. She never took off the headband that smelled of medicinal herbs.

"The Ruchang Marquis's Mansion sent a total of 18 boxes of betrothal gifts, which is enough to show their sincerity."

The second wife smiled so hard that her teeth were showing.

If Lin Yushu had not won the top spot in Lingjiu Hall and had not been rewarded by Emperor Ming for her contribution in curing the epidemic, the Ruchang Marquis's Mansion would never have offered such a large betrothal gift for her being just a wild girl raised on a farm.

The second wife secretly looked at it and found that each of the eighteen boxes of betrothal gifts was filled to the brim with all the best stuff!

Now it’s developed!

When the time comes, the Second Madam will keep these good things, exchange them for cheap ones, and then carry them back to the Ruchang Marquis Mansion as a dowry for Lin Yushu. The good things left behind will all belong to her and Lin Qingrou.

The old lady looked down upon the second lady's petty attitude and frowned in disgust.

"There are a lot of things going on in the mansion recently. We have to take care of the marriages of Mei'er, Hui'er and Lin Yushu. I have transferred Nanny Li to the manor to help. Nanny Xu will help you handle the affairs in the mansion now."

An old woman with a hunched back, gray hair and wrinkled face walked out from behind the old lady.

It turned out to be the old woman who had previously reported that Nanny Li and Lin Yushu were having a close relationship.

"Madame Li went to the farm? But what happened there?"

"We have more than ten farms in our mansion, but the harvests are not good. The shops have been losing money recently. We can't let the farms be in such a state of half-death."

Although this was the old lady's excuse for driving Nanny Li away, it was also what she really thought.

There have been three weddings in the mansion recently, and more and more places need money, but the shops are losing money, and the mansion is starting to run out of money.

Before, Nanny Xu told the old lady that Lin Yushu had sent a letter to Nanny Li.

The old lady didn't believe it at first, but under pressure from Nanny Li, she admitted that Lin Yushu had helped her grandson find a private school.

The old lady was completely disappointed. She had never expected that Nanny Li was such an ungrateful person who would hook up with Lin Yushu for some petty gains.

After this incident, the old lady simply sent Nanny Li to the farm so that she wouldn't be bothered by her.

Nanny Li's family all work in the general's mansion, and the old lady is not afraid that Nanny Li will really turn against her.

But she could not tolerate Li Ma's two-faced behavior, so she punished her severely and sent her to reflect on her mistakes on the farm.

And Nanny Xu replaced Nanny Li and served the old lady personally.

When talking about the shop, the second wife felt guilty and stammered, unable to speak.

When the old lady saw her like this, she became worried again.

"Why, the store is losing money again this month?"

"Yes...I lost a little..."

"How much did we lose?"

the old lady asked sharply, her eyebrows raised.

"I lost nine thousand taels this month..."

In fact, the total loss was more than 10,000 taels, but 10,000 and 9,000 sound very different. The second wife could only say this, for fear of angering the old lady to death.

"What! Nine thousand!! Cough cough cough..."

Are they going to lose all the profits they have made over the years?!

The old lady couldn't catch her breath and started coughing violently, her face turning red.

The second wife hurried forward to pat the old lady on the back to calm her down, and blurted out the words she had prepared before.

"Madam, the ones that are losing money are still those 20 shops. I thought it would be better to use these 20 shops as Lin Yushu's dowry. After all, they were originally her mother's dowry."

"In this way, these twenty hot potatoes will all be handled by Lin Yushu."

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

If Lin Yushu were to take over these twenty shops, I'm afraid that within a few months, all her dowry would be lost.

By then, she would have to rely on the General's Mansion, after all, it was her mother's home!

Moreover, when Lin Yushu got married, she was supposed to bring her mother's dowry as a dowry.

Although all the gold and silver jewelry in her mother's dowry had been used up, there were still many good things left.

Those would not be left to Lin Yushu. In order to avoid gossip, it was just right to leave these twenty shops to Lin Yushu.

Not only can it shut other people's mouths and leave a good reputation for the General's Mansion, but it can also make Lin Yushu lose all her dowry.

Kill two birds with one stone.

The old lady nodded and said, "Yes, that's a good idea. Go and call Lin Yushu over and give the shop to her as soon as possible."

The old lady doesn't want to stay in these shops for even a day longer. Every day she stays will mean she loses more money!

It hurts just thinking about it!

After a while, Lin Yushu was called to Ci'an Hospital.

The Second Madam smiled falsely, took Lin Yushu's hand and said, "Shu'er is not young anymore. Your grandmother and I think you will get married soon. We have to give you the things your mother left behind."

"Among the things your mother left behind, the most valuable are these twenty shops. I have been taking the trouble to run them for you. Now that they are in your hands, you must cherish them."

Lin Yushu had a surprised expression on her face and was laughing secretly in her heart.

"How can this be done? After all, I am not married yet and have no experience in managing a shop. Let's leave it to Second Aunt to manage it. The profit will belong to the Lord of the Mansion. Shu'er has no objection at all!"

Oh, you can’t hold on after only two months of losses?

The Second Madam's smile froze. "We are one family and we don't talk behind each other's backs. This is what your grandmother meant. It will be good for you to learn how to manage household chores as early as possible, as it will be helpful for you to be the mistress of the house in the future."

"That's right, Shu'er, just keep it with confidence. If you have any questions, just come and ask your Second Aunt."

The old lady continued to advise.

Unable to refuse in any way, Lin Yushu finally "reluctantly" accepted the deeds and account books of twenty shops.

After leaving Ci'an Hospital, Lin Yushu could no longer suppress the smile on her face.

She can finally make her own money!
