The little guy shook his head.

Seeing this, Lin Rui'an smiled and walked to Hua Xin's side, reaching out to hug Lin Wanwan.

His gaze was full of affection as he pinched the little tuft of hair on her head and whispered in her ear:

"Wanwan, be a good girl, how about your brother takes you to eat some watermelon later?"

"When my brother came out just now, he heard the servant say that Grandmother was going to rob something. How about I take you to see it later?"

"This chicken...can Brother Yuqi play with it for a while, okay?"

Lin Wanwan?

Does she seem like the kind of person who has no ambition?

This chicken is her favorite.

Am I really that pathetic?

"Hmm~"

She nodded her little head so hard it almost touched the ground, like a weeping willow.

Even being a favorite child isn't as important as your own happiness.

Lin Rui'an almost burst out laughing.

powerful?

She drank milk, wet the bed, and almost choked to death.

She has it all.

Can he be stronger than his brother?

Lin Wanwan shoved the chick into Lin Rui'an's large palm. The chick reluctantly chirped twice in Lin Rui'an's hand.

"Chirp chirp..."

Chick: Waaah, you heartless master.

Ye Yuqi looked at Lin Rui'an with admiration, but he couldn't touch the chicken no matter how hard he tried.

Did my cousin Rui'an say a few words and my sister immediately agree?

That's amazing.

"Cousin Rui'an, you're amazing."

He smiled as he took the chick from Lin Rui'an and ran out like it was a precious treasure.

The eldest sister-in-law, Xie, was very worried, fearing that he would play with the chicken and kill it, so she sent two maids with her.

The old general could tell from the appearance of the chicken that it was something special.

After everyone had dinner and exchanged a few pleasantries, Ye Lanyin took the children back to the Marquis's residence.

Lin Rui'an's heart was about to explode.

As the carriage traveled, Lin Wanwan kept repeating her thoughts the whole way.

We'll eat any melon, big or small.

Raw melons, ripe melons, and even half-ripe melons are all edible.

Off to visit the old lady!

Ye Lanyin was speechless. No wonder she was so obedient; she was going to go eat melon seeds.

How could someone so young know how to go to the theater?

Let's go.

Lin Chang'an: >_<||

Lin Rui'an looked at Ye Lanyin, his eyes filled with helplessness.

But he had promised his sister, and he couldn't go back on his word.

Just then, the maid in the courtyard saw Ye Lanyin return and hurriedly said:

"Madam, something terrible has happened! The young mistress and the old mistress are arguing in the courtyard."

Ye Lanyin narrowed his eyes.

"What happened? Explain yourself."

"Madam, not long after you left today, the master went out as well. After dinner, the old lady went to the young mistress's place to help her manage her dowry."

"The young mistress always disagreed, saying that the dowry was hers, but the old lady insisted on taking some of it away. The young mistress wouldn't let the old lady leave, and unexpectedly pushed the old lady down by mistake."

"The old lady took advantage of the situation and started throwing a tantrum on the ground."

After hearing this, Ye Lanyin clicked her tongue inwardly twice.

It's not surprising that someone would do something like that.

Wasn't it always like this? Now it's just that she's harder to control; the tables have turned, and the tables have turned on Liu Ruyan.

Go, go, go add some more firewood!

The little guy was in Lin Rui'an's arms and was so eager to break free and get down, but remembering that he couldn't walk yet, he clung tightly to his neck.

"Pot~"

Lin Rui'an's heart melted when he heard her call him in her childish voice.

He chuckled and playfully pinched her nose, "I can't do anything with you."

Then, his gaze turned to Ye Lanyin.

"Mother, why don't we go take a look?"

“Grandma is old, a fall would be a serious matter.”

Ye Lanyin's eyes were filled with laughter. "That's right. Let's go and take a look."

The group then arrived at Yifeng Residence.

Before we even got inside, we could hear the old lady wailing.

"This is outrageous! My daughter-in-law never made me suffer like this, but my granddaughter-in-law has turned on me."

Liu Ruyan was extremely anxious, but she didn't want to give up her dowry. She reached out to help the old lady on the ground.

To everyone's surprise, the old lady cried even louder.

"Oh my god, you want to hit me?"

"You...you...while Shixuan and Dehong are out, are you trying to beat this old woman to death?"

Liu Ruyan protested, "No, no, Grandmother, I didn't."

"Your granddaughter-in-law didn't mean it. She was just trying to help you up."

“Grandmother, if you hadn’t tried to take my dowry, I wouldn’t be in this situation. My dowry was given to me by my mother, how could I let you take it?”

"These have all been registered at the Justice Hall."

Last time, the old lady was taken advantage of by Ye Lanyin at the Justice Hall, which caused her to owe Ye Lanyin 335,000 taels of silver.

Now that Liu Ruyan has said the same thing, she will absolutely not let her call anyone from the Justice Hall this time.

Having lived for many years and started as a child bride, she was no match for Ye Lanyin now, but she still had some skill against a newlywed.

"Waaaaah, I don't want to live anymore."

"You really treat kindness like dirt."

“You’ve just married into the Marquis’s household, and you’re young and impetuous, so you don’t know how to manage the household. I’m not going to take your dowry.”

“It’s just that your mother is so devoted to her children and has even used up her own dowry to manage the household. I’m afraid you’ll follow her example and squander your dowry. I won’t be able to explain it to your parents, and the Marquis’s mansion will have to cover your losses.”

"If you disagree, just say so. Why bully an old woman like me?"
