Alas, as the ancients often said, "A scholar is useless in every way," but he is even worse than a scholar.

"Hearing you say that makes my heart sink. Are we going to go hungry from now on?"

"No, that won't happen. We haven't separated yet, and most of our expenses are covered by the common account. After we separate, most of the family property will belong to the eldest son's family, and it won't have anything to do with us."

Mu Yi'an knew the status of the eldest son and grandson in ancient times; it was extraordinary.

"Does that mean I'll become a kept man? In the original owner's memories, his wife had quite a dowry."

"Yes, I just finished sorting out the original owner's dowry. It includes land, shops, and a lot of silver that I had saved up. It can be considered a small fortune, and it's enough to hold on for now."

Mu Yi'an looked at Jiang Shuyun with a half-smile. It wasn't hard to guess from his words that this guy came from a good family, had never suffered, and lived a comfortable life, with a different living environment from hers.

"Hehe... I never thought that I, Jiang Shuyun, would be supported by a woman one day. It's true that fortunes change, and I've never seen anything like it in my lifetime."

"Take it easy. This kind of thing isn't unusual. Besides, while the original owner's dowry might seem decent in this village, it's nothing outside. Even the stewards of wealthy families usually have more than that in their private estates."

According to historical records, TV dramas, and novels, in ancient times, imperial power was supreme.

“We’ll study this slowly and eventually figure out a suitable path. We don’t need to be made a high-ranking official or become rich and powerful, but we can’t just let others do as they please.”

"Let's skip it today. I'm busy preparing food later. Let's talk about it tonight or tomorrow. There's no rush."

"Alright, I'll go out now. I've been here for a while. I'd better go to the study and think about what I can do."

The two reached an agreement and began to busy themselves with their own things. Jiang Shuyun went out, and Mu Yi'an first served the toothless child on the bed, as it was time to breastfeed!
