Ningyuan Hou thought about it for a day and a night, and finally decided to give half of the previously divided property to Bai's descendants, stating that the descendants must be male to inherit the property.

As she counted the shops, land and houses that the Marquis's Mansion had given out, Bai was overjoyed.

Although the value of these properties could not fully cover the silver she wanted to pay, not even half of it, for someone like her who came from a merchant family, these properties were beyond her reach even if she had the money.

One million taels of silver in exchange for the contract, plus the betrothal gift given by the Marquis' Mansion, the Bai family gave a total of 400,000 taels of silver to the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion.

The outer courtyard manager brought by Bai took the property deed with trembling hands, and his admiration for Bai increased even more.

The young lady of the Bai family can get these ancestral properties of the marquisate, and Master Bai will also be looked up to by others because of these, and his business will only be more successful in the future.

The fourth and fifth rooms still refuse to move out of the mansion, but Mrs. Bai will not let them do as they please.

Someone was asked to spread the word that even if the Marquis' Mansion returned the silver, it would not calm the emperor's anger, and the day the silver was sent to the Ministry of Revenue would be the day the Marquis' Mansion would be liquidated.

When the fourth and fifth rooms heard the news, they moved out of the mansion that very night. The more Marquis Ningyuan tried to keep them, the faster they ran away.

They were the ones who spread the stories of the Bai family's past misfortunes, and they had suffered a lot at their hands. The Bai family wanted to settle down first and then find an opportunity to deal with these people.

On the third day of the return visit, the Marquis's residence prepared a generous return gift and sent the Marquis's close associates to escort the gift to the Bai family in the south. This had never happened in the previous life; the Bai family had prepared the gift themselves and had it sent back to the Bai family by the escort agency.

Gu Yankai's attitude towards Bai Shi was even colder than in her previous life, but Bai Shi didn't care. In her previous life, she knew that no matter what she did, she would never be able to enter Gu Yankai's heart. If she hadn't died in childbirth, she would have definitely lived a simple life with Gu Yankai, just like in this life.

Bai Shi was in no rush to have children. Before she got married, she had specially invited a royal physician from the imperial palace to treat her. The physician advised her that if she wanted to avoid a difficult birth, it would be best to wait a few years until her body had grown longer before conceiving.

Bai Shi, who had lived a new life, also began to do some superficial work. She got up early in the morning to pay her respects to the Marquis. After paying her respects, she went to see Gu Tingyu without stopping. She always showed her careful care and carefully instructed the wet nurse and servants to serve Yu'er well.

Gu Tingyu, who was already a little over one year old, still looked like a baby of a few months old. He had no flesh on his body and was wrapped in a quilt. He looked like he had died young.

But Bai knew that the Marquis' Mansion had plenty of ways to keep him alive. In her previous life, until her death, Gu Tingyu was living well. Although he had to take medicine every day, he was not seriously injured.

"Greetings to Madam." The person who was left behind by Qin to annoy Bai before her death came.

Bai, who was sitting in the main seat, did not ask her to stand up. This maid of Qin became a concubine after Qin's death, and later gave birth to Gu Yankai's eldest daughter Gu Tingyan.

This concubine Xia is no simple person. Whenever Gu Yankai misses Qin, she always appears at the right time. However, after giving birth to a daughter, she is suddenly ignored by Gu Yankai.

After looking at the person in front of her for a while, Bai said softly, "Serve tea."

Aunt Xia took the tea brought by the maid with a humble look, handed it to Bai carefully, and said in a soft voice, "Madam, please have some tea."

After taking the teacup and touching it with her lips, Bai Shi put it down and took out a jade bracelet from the tray and said, "Since you are the late Madam's bride, please don't bring shame upon her. Remember to follow the rules."

After bowing her head, Aunt Xia replied tremblingly, "Yes, I will keep it in mind."
