After hearing what Yuan's mother said, the villagers realized that the clothes the couple were wearing were indeed not ordinary people's clothes. Yuan's mother was also wearing some jewelry that looked not cheap.
Looking at the surprised expressions on their faces, Yuan's mother was very satisfied.
"Mother Yuan, are you guys getting rich out there?"
A villager asked with wide eyes.
"That's absolutely true!" Yuan's mother boasted, "Our Xiao'e is now the Third Young Master's Wife of the Ji Mansion in Fengzhu Mansion. How could we not be prosperous?"
"By the way, you know the Ji Mansion in Fengzhu Mansion, right?"
Seeing many people shaking their heads, Yuan's mother couldn't help but look at them with disdain, "How ignorant!"
"The Ji family of Fengzhu Mansion is the most wealthy family in our area!"
“They are also the most powerful family!”
"The Ji family has produced several high-ranking officials!"
"One of them is even in the imperial court of the capital! He is of a very high rank!"
As they listened to her talking about Ji Mansion, the expressions on the villagers' faces became more and more shocked!
Is this Ji Mansion so powerful?
Someone asked: "So, which one is more powerful, the Ji Mansion or the Prince's Mansion?"
The villagers had heard a little about Yuan Xiao'e's previous attempt to curry favor with the second son of the Prince's Mansion, so out of curiosity, someone asked about it.
Mother Yuan said, "Of course the Ji family is powerful! Is there any need to explain this?"
Someone said: "But, the Prince's Mansion is a royal family!"
Mother Yuan snorted and said, "I don't know how many generations of royal family members they are. Besides this title, what power do they have?"
After staying in the provincial capital for so long, she gradually became aware of the weight of the Prince's Mansion.
The Prince's Mansion is "in name only" and has nothing except some preferential treatment from the royal family.
He has neither power nor influence, but he is famous and relatively rich. What else does he have?
Of course, the local nobles, aristocrats, government officials, etc. still have to give them face.
However, a place of the Ji Mansion's level may give you face to the Prince's Mansion on the surface, but behind the scenes they don't take you seriously at all.
Mother Yuan kept talking about how powerful the Ji Mansion was and how incompetent the Prince's Mansion was. Her main purpose was to belittle the Prince's Mansion and elevate the status of the Ji Mansion so that everyone would envy it!
When the villagers heard this, they were all shocked!
In their eyes, the Prince’s Mansion was very powerful in the past!
After listening to what Yuan's mother said, they suddenly felt that the Prince's Mansion was not that powerful after all, it was just that the title of "royal relatives" was more intimidating.
Looking at the villagers' different reactions, Yuan's mother's vanity was satisfied.
The villagers were naturally extremely envious of Yuan Xiao'e for marrying into the Ji family and becoming the third young master's wife.
Some people also asked curiously how Yuan Xiao'e married into the Ji family?
Yuan's mother laughed and said, of course her daughter is good enough!
A few days after returning to Lufang Village.
Yuan's mother plans to go to Cai's house to show off.
Give Cai Liu a good slap in the face for looking down on her daughter!
By the way, Yuan Xiaoe’s mother didn’t know about the conflict between Cai Junze and Yuan Xiaoe at Fengzhu Mansion last time.
The main reason was that Yuan Xiaoe didn’t tell her.
She only knew that the Cai family had opened a bun shop in the provincial capital.
Despite this, she didn't take the Cai family seriously!
It’s just a bun shop, what’s the big deal?!
There are so many shops in the city, which one can compare with Ji Mansion?
Oh, by the way, many of the stores actually belong to the Ji family!
Yuan's mother came to Changhe Village and knocked on the Cai family's gate.
Liu Shulin was lying on a recliner at the moment, reading a book in her hand.
I enjoyed watching it very much.
In her spare time, Liu Shulin reads books.
It became a hobby for her.
Hearing the knock on the door, she slowly got up from the recliner and put the book aside.
I thought: Who could it be at this time?
He is definitely not a prodigal son.
The prodigal son is not at home.
Without thinking too much, she left the house and came to open the door.
When I opened the door, I saw a gorgeously dressed woman standing outside.
At first glance, she couldn't tell who it was.
At second glance, it seemed familiar.
Third glance, oh, isn’t this Yuan’s mother?
Why are you dressed like this?
However, when she thought about Yuan Xiao'e marrying into the Ji family, she understood.
Then, she knew what the purpose of Yuan's mother coming here was.
"Hey, Yuan's mother, long time no see."
"What's the matter with you coming here today?"
She remained polite and said with a smile.
Mother Yuan also had a bright smile on her face. She looked at Cai Liu and saw that she was dressed normally, just a little better than a country girl. She said, "Nothing much. I just haven't been home for a long time. It's a rare occasion for me to come back. I thought about how our two families almost became in-laws, so I came to check on you."
She deliberately mentioned how they almost became in-laws.
"Really?" Liu Shulin said with a smile, "A guest is a guest, Mother Yuan, please come in and have a seat."
Yuan's mother didn't hesitate and followed him into the yard.
As soon as he entered the yard, a pair of eyes glanced around, "Ms. Cai Liu, it's time to build a new house. It's been so many years, and your shop is very profitable. You can't be so poor that you don't even have money to build a new house, right?"
Liu Shulin smiled and said, "As for a house, as long as it's habitable, it's fine. This house has been with me for so many years and holds many memories. I can't bear to give it up."
Mother Yuan glanced at the furniture in the room and said, "It's time to replace your furniture. It looks a bit old."
