Chapter 103: A girl's family has confidence only when she has money
After having a frank conversation with the Meng family, Su Wanyan was surrounded by her grandmother Yu and her two aunts, chatting and laughing with each other, while Prince Xiao was invited to the study by Old Man Meng and his two uncles.
Su Wanyan's heart couldn't help but skip a beat when she saw the look Ji Xiaohan gave her before he left.
"Wanyan, we hadn't received the news when you were getting married, so we didn't have time to buy you some makeup. Here, take these. They're our wedding gifts to you."
Yu took a large mahogany box from her eldest daughter-in-law and stuffed it into Su Wanyan's hands without saying a word.
"..." Su Wanyan was stunned and was about to decline, "Grandma, this is not possible. We have been on this journey..."
"Here! These are the deeds to the houses and land that your grandparents bought for you after your mother passed away. They're all shops in several wealthy towns in the Great Zhou Kingdom. They're well-located, and the people who look after the shops are all our own. Now, these deeds to the houses and land are in your hands. From now on, we'll send you the banknotes earned by those shops during the New Year."
Su Wanyan heard this and for some reason, she felt a surge of warmth in her eyes. She was moved by the selfless love and care shown by the Meng family. "Grandma, aunt, you are so kind to me!"
Su Wanyan held the mahogany box in her arms, her eyes slightly red. She was moved by the original owner and also lamented her own good luck.
She had come from a book, thinking she would live alone again, but who could have imagined that she would be forced to marry, and Ji Xiaohan treated her with gentleness and courtesy. He came to meet her grandfather's family on behalf of the original owner, and they showed such a protective family love.
"Silly child, you are also a child of our Meng family. If we don't treat you well, who else can we treat well? You have suffered so much staying alone in the Su family. If you hadn't married King Xiao now, there are some things we can't help you with. We would like to take you back home." The aunt was a straightforward woman. She took Su Wanyan's hand, patted the back of her hand, and said with a smile.
Second Aunt looked at Su Wanyan with a look of heartache. "Yes, the daughters of our Meng family are precious no matter where they are! These deeds to the house and the land, as well as the banknotes in the box, you should keep them safe. A daughter has confidence only when she has money in her hands. If it's not enough, write back and ask for it."
Mrs. Yu looked at her two daughters-in-law with relief. "Yes, your two aunts are right. When you are away from home, money is your foundation. Now you have married into the Xiao Palace. Although the Xiao Prince is now in decline, but from the look in his eyes just now, I am sure he will not let you suffer. Since you are married to the Xiao Prince, he is the son-in-law of our Meng family. If there is any difficulty, as long as our Meng family can help, we will definitely..."
Upon hearing this, Su Wanyan interrupted Yu and said, "Grandma, I married Ji Xiaohan without any interests involved. The Meng family is what it was before, and it will be what it will be in the future. Don't do anything you don't want to do for me. I know that since my mother passed away, you don't like to deal with the powerful, so don't force it. Ji Xiaohan and I get along well now."
Tears welled up in Yu's eyes as she caressed Su Wanyan's hair lovingly. "Silly child! Since we've said so, how could you not want to? Don't worry, your grandfather and your two uncles have already discussed this. We won't make it difficult for you."
The aunt looked around and whispered to Su Wanyan, "Aunt, let me tell you the truth. This matter..."
