"When my daughter-in-law got married, to show her filial piety, she specially entrusted part of her dowry to you for management, as well as the key to the mansion's storeroom."

"If Mother agrees to return it to my wife, and also give her the storeroom key, then my wife can ask my brother for help," Ye Lanyin said confidently.

The old lady's face fell.

I almost choked to death.

"Yes, Mother is mighty! Mother is so amazing!"

[This scumbag father usually gives all his salary to his mistress.]

Now that Mom has real power, that scumbag dad is doomed.

"Lanyin, this...you work so hard raising these children, and this storeroom..."

"If Mother doesn't agree, then forget it. He's just an outsider anyway, and I don't want to see my brother any more."

"So that my brother won't ask me about managing the household, and I won't know how to respond."

Ye Lanyin picked up Lin Wanwan, stood up, and walked away.

The old lady's face changed drastically, and she was so anxious that she could barely hold her cane.

Those dowries were no small sum.

If her son hadn't been unable to find anyone to rescue Shuang'er, why would she have begged her?

If she fails to rescue Shuang'er today, Shuang'er's reputation will be ruined.

After Shuang'er married into the household, not only did the Marquis's mansion become the subject of gossip, but the children also suffered from a bad reputation.

And his two grandsons and granddaughter will bring glory to the family in the future.

"Lanyin, wait a moment."

Ye Lanyin turned around: "Is there anything else, Mother?"

"Lanyin, we're all family, let's talk this out. I didn't say I wouldn't give it to you. This dowry and storeroom should be your responsibility to manage."

"I'm tired of managing so many things over the years."

"Now that you've brought it up, I'll give it to you as well."

Ye Lanyin smiled gently:

"Of course, Mother. I knew you loved your wife the most. I'll take good care of this storeroom, don't worry."

Looking at Ye Lanyin with a smile on her face, the old lady couldn't manage a smile at all.

"Then... about your cousin?"

“Mother, once you give the dowry and keys to your daughter-in-law, and she has verified the dowry amount, then my cousin’s matter will naturally be her responsibility. I will send a message to my brother immediately.”

The old lady's lips twitched.

That bitch, how come she's become so shrewd these days? I can't fool her anymore.

[Wow, my mom's gotten smarter!]

Ye Lanyin looked down at her daughter with a smile in her eyes.

He reached out and took Lin Wanwan's little fist out of her mouth.

About two hours after leaving the courtyard, Granny Mei, who served the old lady, arrived.

"Madam, the old lady said that your dowry is in the storeroom. Here is the storeroom key."

With a smile, Granny Mei handed the key to Ye Lanyin.

Ye Lanyin reached out and accepted it without hesitation, saying, "Granny Mei, you're so kind. You've worked so hard following Mother all these years."

Granny Mei rubbed her hands together, waiting for Ye Lanyin to give her a reward.

"What is it, Granny Mei? Is there anything else Mother needs?"

"Ahem...no, madam, this old servant will take his leave now."

Granny Mei's smile froze. She hadn't expected Ye Lanyin to not give a reward this time. She awkwardly bowed and fled in panic.

Ye Lanyin stopped smiling.

"Hua Mei, find two trustworthy people to come with me to the warehouse."

"Yes, madam."

Soon, Ye Lanyin led three or five burly servants to the storeroom.

The group began moving things in a grand manner.

Only when Ye Lanyin saw the dowry filling her private treasury did she feel at ease.

at night.

"Madam, Madam."

Ye Lanyin heard the sound at the door, and a look of disgust flashed across her face.

"Madam, I heard from the servants that you rescued Shuang'er today." The voice of the Marquis of Zhenbei came from the outer courtyard before he even arrived.

Ye Lanyin had Hua Xin take her daughter away, and then sat in the main seat.

When the Marquis of Zhenbei entered, he was slightly taken aback by her dignified demeanor.

"Madam, thank you for considering the reputation of the Marquis's mansion and for rescuing Wanqing's mother."

"You have no idea, she has been crying every day for the past few days, calling for her mother. As her uncle, I really don't know what to do."

"Thank goodness you're here." The Marquis of Zhenbei had a comfortable smile on his face.

Ye Lanyin raised an eyebrow: "Luckily you're here?"

"Yes, I've asked many colleagues these past two days, and they all say that unless Madam Sheng says herself that she won't pursue the matter, they will handle it impartially!"

[That cheap, scumbag dad is such a bad person.]

[Mommy's going to get brainwashed again.]

[Tsk tsk, my poor mother.]

A fleeting hint of indifference crossed Ye Lanyin's eyes.

She took a sip of tea. "Please sit down, Lord Marquis."

Seeing her attitude, the Marquis of Zhenbei felt that something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

He casually found a lower seat and sat down.

"My lord, over the years I have devoted 90% of my energy to educating my children, if not 100%."

Marquis Zhenbei nodded; he had to admit it.

Daughters raised in large families are different; the influence of words and deeds is so important.

Shixuan has been well educated by Ye Lanyin over the years, and he is also doing well in his studies.

"The Marquis returns home rather late every day after court. Lan Yin knows that his duties are important, but the Marquis should also do his best to take care of the child."

Ye Lanyin's gentle appearance startled the Marquis of Zhenbei.

He hadn't seen such a look, such tenderness, in his eyes for many years.

"Madam, you are right. It was my oversight. I will fulfill my responsibilities as a father in the future."

“My lord, the Marquis’s mansion is not like other great families. With a solid foundation, we are not afraid of gossip. Now, the Marquis of Zhenbei’s mansion is the last title for you. You have just been promoted, so you should cherish it.”
