Ying Xixi's words made Lin Youran feel like a pie fell from the sky.
She was first in disbelief, then in ecstasy.
"Really? Mother?! You really don't object to your daughter dating Mr. Su?!"
"It's true. Mother doesn't object anymore. You'll be coming of age in two years. If Young Master Su is willing to marry you, you can use these two years to cultivate your relationship and spend some time together. When you reach the age of marriage, you can marry Young Master Su."
Ying Xixi spoke gently, with a smile on her lips, but the smile did not reach her eyes.
Be happy, seize the time to be happy now.
Soon these two ungrateful people were no longer happy!
"Mother! Thank you! Your daughter is so happy!"
Lin Youran's cheeks turned red with excitement.
Lin Huijin was also happy for his sister. Although he didn't like that damn Mr. Su very much, since his sister liked him, it wasn't impossible for him to pretend to like him.
He saw that Ying Xixi had agreed so easily about her sister's matter, and thought that if he asked for the money now, maybe Ying would give it to him.
So Lin Huijin cleared his throat and spoke tentatively.
"Mother, could you give your son two taels of silver?
The son had no money left and had to ask his mother for help."
A sneer flashed across Ying Xixi's eyes. "It's gone so quickly? Jin'er, did you take the money to the gambling house again?"
Lin Huijin twitched his lips, beginning to get impatient. "No, my son just went in to take a look, he didn't gamble."
"Well, mother believes in you. After all, our Jin'er is so smart and knows what she is doing.
Mother also wanted to give you some money, but the fire last night burned all of her banknotes.
Now all the money in the mansion is in the hands of the clan elders.
Mother had thought about it before. Sooner or later, the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion will belong to Jin'er. Your father's money should be in your hands, not in the hands of the clan elders. It is neither right nor reasonable!
But my mother was married into the family after all. If she asked the elders to return the money to her, the people in the clan would definitely not be happy.
But Jin'er, if you come forward, things will be different. You will be the Marquis of Wu'an in the future, and they will definitely relent for this reason!"
Ying Xixi said this while looking at Lin Huijin's undisguised excitement, and felt satisfied.
"Mother, what you said is true. I will give it a try. If the elder is willing to give my father's money, I will send the money to you for safekeeping."
Lin Huijin said this with his eyes lowered, but he didn't think so in his heart.
"No, if the elder gives you all the money, you can keep it, or you and your sister can keep it together.
Mother doesn't need much money. By the way, the housekeeper has a list of all the money your father owns.
Jin'er, remember to get the list before you go to the elder to ask for money.
Otherwise, mother is worried that the elders will think you are young and fool you."
"Yes, thank you for the reminder, mother! I will discuss this matter with the elders when I get home from school tonight."
Lin Huijin was ecstatic and wanted to ask the elder for money right away, but he had to go to the Imperial College for two hours and then try his luck at the gambling house, so he decided to go there in the evening.
The two ungrateful people got what they wanted, politely bowed to Ying Xixi and said goodbye before leaving happily.
Ying Xixi was also very happy because this was just the first step in praising and killing the two ungrateful people.
The first step was successful, so is the second step far behind?
Ying Xixi plans to go out today.
The people in the mansion are all other people's confidants. She won't feel at ease living there without her own people around. She has to find a way to replace the people in the mansion with her own people.
Ying Xixi got on the carriage and asked the driver to drive to the place where slaves were sold in the capital.
"System, can you find a way to get the people you've chosen to turn stone into gold to blend in with the slaves waiting to be sold?"
[Sure! ]
"Okay, I'll leave it to you then."
Under the operation of the system, the five maids and five servants pointed out by Ying Xixi were successfully mixed into the servants.
Ying Xixi naturally picked them out and bought them.
Ying Xixi brought the ten servants back to the mansion and arranged them. The five maids naturally had to stay in her yard and serve her.
After making the arrangements, she took a maid she named Qiulin and left the house again.
This time, Ying Xixi wanted to go shopping and buy some ready-made clothes.
Most of the original owner's clothes had been burned to ashes in the fire last night. Although she brought the jewelry with her, it would be better to buy some new ones.
The original owner married into the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion and became a widow when she reached the age of 15. For eight years, in order to take into account her identity as a widow and to avoid gossip from the outside world, the original owner, who was still very young, dressed very plainly.
She doesn't wear any jewelry, and just puts a wooden hairpin in her bun.
A flower that has not yet bloomed gradually withered over the years, and finally died in the fire, leaving no trace of its body.
Now that she is here, she will naturally not treat herself badly!
She took her maid to shop and bought a lot of brightly colored dresses and jewelry.
She did not pay the bill immediately, but asked the shopkeeper to send someone to the Wu'an Marquis Mansion to settle the bill with the Great Elder, because most of the power in charge of the Wu'an Marquis Mansion was in the hands of this Great Elder.
Ying Xixi deliberately raised her voice when she said this, and so these words also spread throughout the capital.
Ying Xixi continued to stroll on the street with light steps, and was very curious about the things on both sides of the street.
She looked around and suddenly felt a pair of eyes staring at her.
Ying Xixi suddenly turned around, but all she saw was the wide-open windowsill on the second floor of the teahouse, with no one there.
Maybe she was wrong.
Ying Xixi didn't think much about it. She took a bite of the candied haws and continued to walk forward with her maid.
And at the second-floor window where she was looking just now, a man wearing black brocade clothes, holding a folding fan, with an ordinary face but very sharp eyes appeared.
The man looked at Ying Xixi's receding figure with a half-smile on his face. The sharpness in his eyes faded away, and a hint of inquiry emerged.
"interesting."
A low, smiling voice sounded faintly.
After strolling around the streets for the whole morning and afternoon, Ying Xixi was quite tired and rested after returning home.
She slept until it was time for dinner, and she specifically asked her maid Qiulin if anything had happened after she fell asleep.
"Madam, the Great Elder came here in a rage. I told you you were resting, and he was so angry he almost barged in. But before he left, he told me to wait for you to wake up and come see him."
Ying Xixi sneered when she heard this, "It seems that the old man saw the shopkeeper who came to ask for money and knew that I spent a lot of money today."
