Grandma Feng looked at Niu Mingjie, thinking that her grandson would also be the child of a high-ranking official in the future...

In the end, Old Mrs. Feng decided to give a dowry, and not only give one, but give more than she could.

Niu Mingjie: "..." I feel like I've been used again.

Zhou An also felt that it was appropriate to give it.

Finally, Old Mrs. Feng decided that Feng Yuanfu would marry into the Yun family, taking half of the family fortune with him. Old Mrs. Feng's reasoning was quite sound: 80% of the Feng family's wealth was earned by Feng Yuanfu.

If Feng Yuanfu hadn't insisted on marrying into the Yun family, she would have been able to inherit at least 70% of the family fortune. Feng Yuanfu was the eldest son.

Feng Lao Er is alright.

Feng Lao Er's wife was almost driven to her death with anger.

As Feng Yuanfu got older, his second wife felt more and more that the Feng family's assets would eventually belong to her son. Unexpectedly, Feng Yuanfu was suddenly getting married.

But no matter how angry she was, it was no use; she had no say in the matter.

That's how it was settled.

Niu Mingjie was a little frustrated. He thought he had seen through Sisi, but Sisi's actions showed him that he had only seen the tip of the iceberg.

Qi Zhi felt that even if they had figured out Sisi's background back then, they might not have been able to defeat her.

After dividing the family property and writing the necessary documents, Sisi and her party set off.

Feng Yuanfu wished he could fly to Yun Qingying's side.

Meanwhile, Madam Niu also received Niu Mingjie's letter. Niu Mingjie told Madam Niu about how he had schemed against Sisi but ended up being robbed by her, and about General Niu's desire for him to get engaged to Sisi.

After reading it, Madam Niu thought for a moment and then began to write letters to General Niu and Niu Mingjie.

When Sisi and her group returned, Thirteen was already able to roll over. Sisi waited two days, making sure all the traces she had brought back from the journey had dissipated, before going to see Thirteen.

When Sisi arrived, Shisan was entertaining himself, while Fengchan was making clothes for Sisi.

Thirteen blinked in confusion upon seeing Sisi. Who is this? She seemed to recognize her, yet also seemed not. "Ahhh..."

Feng Chan put down what she was doing, picked up Thirteen, and placed her in Sisi's arms. "This is your sister. She has the same mother and the same father as you."

Thirteen didn't understand. However, the bond of blood made Thirteen feel a deep connection with Sisi. "Ahhh... Ahhh..."

Sisi kissed Thirteen's chubby cheek. "Twelfth Brother told Sister that you can roll over now, can you roll over for Sister?"

"Ahhh..."

"Okay? Then I'll put you on the kang (heated brick bed)."

"Ahhh..."

After Sisi put Thirteen on the kang (a heated brick bed), Thirteen didn't even try to turn over. "Mom, why isn't he turning over?"

"Put something next to him to tease him. If he wants it, he'll reach for it; if he can't reach it, he'll roll over."

Sisi picked up a toy to tease Shisan, and Shisan indeed flipped it over, quite skillfully at that. Sisi patted Shisan's little head. "My little brother is so amazing."

Thirteen also wanted to touch Sisi's head, but couldn't reach it. "Ahhh..."

Sisi lowered her head to let Thirteen touch her.

Feng Chan quickly grasped Thirteen's little paws. "Don't let him touch you. He grabs everything he sees now. He just pulled out several strands of my hair the day before yesterday."

Oh, is that so? Then forget it.

While playing with Shisan, Sisi asked, "Has anything happened at home these past few months?"

"No. Five people came. Among them, some knew how to gather herbs, some knew how to make medicine, and some knew how to treat minor illnesses. After they arrived, your great-grandfather had everyone in the family learn from them, including Twelve. You know all this, right?"

"Um."

"That's all. By the way, during the spring planting season, General Niu gave your father and the others a two-week leave. When your father came back and couldn't find you, he asked me where you had gone?"

I told him you went on a long trip.

"He said he'd beat you up, saying you went on a long trip without telling him. Go see him when you have time."

Sisi smiled. "Isn't he starting to look more and more like a soldier?"

"Hmm. I never imagined he could turn out like this. By the way, both your fifth aunt's and seventh aunt's families wrote to urge your fifth aunt's brother and seventh aunt's brother to return. They said they'd wait for you to come back before leaving. Did they tell you?"

"I already said so. We're shipping a batch of goods to the capital in a few days, and we'll have them go back with us then."

Speaking of business, Fengchan remembered something. "Isn't your family also in business? Are you planning to join forces with them or not?"

"Incompatible".

Feng Chan was relieved. "Mother doesn't want you to join them either. All of that will be your dowry. If you can manage things here at home, then work with them. If you can't, just give them some advice."

"Yes. Those things are the foundation upon which the three of us, mother and son, live and make a living."

"And there's Old Black, Old White, and Pockmarked."

"Hmm. Would you like to learn how to collect and process medicinal herbs?"

"I'll learn it when your younger brother is a bit older. It's always good to have more skills. Did your trip go smoothly?"

"It went quite smoothly." Sisi recounted the whole story to Fengchan.

When Feng Chan heard Si Si say that she wanted Niu Mingjie to be her servant, she laughed and said, "Aren't you afraid that he will complain to General Niu?"

"It's alright to sue. General Niu isn't petty."

“Indeed, if he were stingy, he wouldn’t have let you call him godfather.”

"Hmm. Mother, why do I smell something foul?"

"Your mother smelled it too; your little brother has secretly pooped again."

"Sneaking it out?"

While wiping Thirteen's bottom, Feng Chan said, "Babies usually make a sound before they poop, but your brother doesn't. He only makes a sound after he's finished."

"Is my brother's habit good or bad?"

"There's nothing wrong with it. It just means the adults will have to wash the diapers more often."

Sisi tapped Thirteen's little nose. "You little rascal."

Thirteen grabbed Sisi's finger and put it in her mouth, biting it. "Ahhh..."

Over here, the mother and daughter chatted and teased Thirteen.

On the other side, Yun Yuqi saw that Niu Mingjie had come to patrol the camp with General Niu again, and knew that Sisi had returned.

After finding out, he wondered when his daughter would remember to come to the military camp to see him.

When General Niu and Niu Mingjie returned from their patrol, Zhao Ruliang told them that the servant who had gone back to deliver a message to Madam Niu had returned.

Upon hearing this, Niu Mingjie immediately asked, "Did my mother reply to my letter?"

"I've replied." Zhao Ruliang took out two letters. "This one is yours, and this one is the general's."

Niu Mingjie opened the letter immediately after receiving it and quickly read it through.

After reading it, Niu Mingjie realized he had misread it.

So Niu Mingjie read it again.

But it's the same as what I just saw.

Niu Mingjie didn't believe it. "Father, what did Mother say to you?"

“Your mother said that as long as I think you and Sisi are a good match, she won’t object.”

"..." It's over! He'll never escape that little bandit's clutches for the rest of his life!

Niu Mingjie looked at the letter in his hand and decided to try one more time. "Father, I went with her to propose marriage to her aunt this time and learned something."

"What's up?"

"I can't beat her."
