Zhao Zheng's words brought Qiu Yan back to the original owner's memories.
"Then, you stole the eggs and sweet potatoes that your mother had painstakingly saved up and gave them to me."
Every time I go home, my mother chases after me and beats me.
Zhao Zheng, thank you for what happened before.
Her words of thanks were for the original owner of this body.
"You never need to be so polite with me." Zhao Zheng shook his head; he didn't want to hear Qiu Yan thank him.
Thinking back to the past, he felt a warm feeling in his heart, yet also a bitter one.
Even when he was beaten, he always fantasized about turning back time.
"It's a pity I couldn't marry you; it's my fault for being useless."
Qiu Yan: "It's not your fault. Blame fate for playing tricks on us."
She turned to look at Zhao Zheng.
Back then, she couldn't stand this man at all.
Looking at it closely now, if the original owner were still alive, she might have been able to marry Zhao Zheng.
Unfortunately, she wasn't the original owner of this body.
"No, it's my fault."
Zhao Zheng always felt that Xiao Yan's change of heart was because he hadn't been there in time when she was almost sold off by her stepmother.
He also blamed himself, saying he shouldn't have told her to send her younger siblings back.
Qiu Yan smiled and let it go.
What could she say? She wasn't the original owner of this body.
She quickened her pace.
Zhao Zheng walked slower and slower, and finally sat down on the cool grass, staring blankly at the sky.
When Qiu Yan returned home,
Inside the hall,
Qiu Dafu and Jiang Liu took out a box of jewelry that they had carefully prepared and placed it in front of Qiu Yan.
"Xiaoyan, some of these are part of my dowry, and some are things that your second uncle and I personally selected for you."
Jiang Liu felt that since Xiao Yan didn't have a biological mother, she had to take on the responsibility of being a mother in Xiao Yan's marriage.
Qiu Yan lowered her eyes to examine the jewelry.
Earrings, headdresses, hairpins, jade hairpins... a whole box full, quite a lot.
In her opinion, her second aunt had always had good taste.
These gold and silver jewelry pieces are exquisitely designed and novel in style; each piece is unique.
"Thank you, Uncle and Aunt, I like it very much."
Jiang Liu: "And..."
"besides?"
"Hmm, this isn't enough," Jiang Liu said, then took out another list and handed it to Qiu Yan.
"These were all discussed and prepared by your second uncle and me."
Qiu Yan took it, examined it carefully, and found that there were...
Bed,
screen,
Various porcelains
Hanging mirror, hanging screen...
Sewing box
Grooming tools
Albizia quilt,
Mandarin duck pillows
Dragon and Phoenix Scarf...
……etc,
...
etc……
Qiu Yan's eyes were blurry from looking at it.
She pondered in her mind, thinking of the dowry chest she had seen that morning.
And that's not all.
At this moment, Jiang Liu mysteriously pulled out several land deeds.
"Anything else?" Qiu Yan took it again.
She stared intently at it.
One of the land deeds has the four large characters "Lingxin Academy" written on it.
"This academy was established last year by me, Ling'er, Elder Mu, and Elder Meng. Now that you are getting married, your second uncle and I have decided to give it to you as your dowry," Jiang Liu said with a smile.
Qiu Yan stared at the land deed for a moment, her smile deepening slightly.
She had always wanted to open an academy.
Unexpectedly, after a year of hard work, her second aunt fulfilled this wish for her.
She had a simple idea and was unaware that her second uncle and aunt had secretly prepared such a large dowry for her.
"There are three shops here, which were also part of my dowry. Now, I'm giving them to you. I know you're wealthy, but this is also a token of my appreciation."
"Second Aunt, thank you."
Qiu Yan was truly grateful to her second uncle and aunt.
