Chapter 233
"You silly child, what nonsense are you talking about? Those things are just external possessions," Yao said nonchalantly.
After all, compared to the things that were on the surface, the contents of these two boxes were far more substantial than the dowry.
There's no need to worry about certain things. As long as their family is alright and together, Yao feels that it's all worthwhile.
"But your daughter has given your and your father's sincere hearts to the imperial court." Thinking of this, Li Zhiwei sadly shed tears.
“You silly child, those things are gone, they’re gone. Your parents can just get you another set,” Yao said magnanimously.
"Mother, if you say that, you might incur hatred," Li Zhiwei said, her tears turning into a smile.
"So what? Your parents can afford it. What do we care what others think or say?" Yao said arrogantly.
"Alright, if your father sees you crying like this, he might think I've bullied you," Yao said quickly, seeing her daughter's dejected state.
"Mother would never bully her daughter. Mother is the best mother to me." Li Zhiwei nestled obediently in Yao's arms.
She greedily enjoyed her mother's tenderness.
Thinking back to everything she experienced in her past life, including the tragic deaths of her parents, she doesn't regret what she did in this life.
Those things aren't a big problem; they're just external possessions.
"Don't you see what your mother prepared for you? Do you like it?" Seeing that her daughter was not in a good mood, Yao teased.
"Mother, what have you prepared for your daughter?" Li Zhiwei quickly got up and asked with some curiosity.
"Why don't you see for yourself?" Yao said with a smile.
Li Zhiwei curiously opened the first box, which contained some hairpins and jade pendants.
"Keep these things," Yao said, thinking that a young girl like Li Zhiwei wouldn't like wearing such jewelry.
However, these things also have their own significance in remaining.
“Mother, you should keep these things for yourself first.” Li Zhiwei looked at the jewels in the box and still felt that Yao Shi should keep them.
"Keep it. These things will be given to you sooner or later anyway." Madam Yao had long since become indifferent to many things. After all, her mother had been gone for many years. If it weren't for what Shuheng did to Wei'er, her elder brother might not have been willing to give these things to her.
"Never mind those, take a look at what's in these two boxes." Madam Yao gestured for Li Zhiwei to look at the others.
Li Zhiwei opened the smaller box and found it filled with house deeds, land deeds, and some indentures.
Li Zhiwei's eyes widened. This whole box was full of things. Its value was probably much higher than those dowries.
"Mother, you gave me all these things from home?" Li Zhiwei asked in disbelief.
He wondered to himself, "Did all these things from my past life end up in the Lin family's pockets too?"
In their past lives, they forbade them to come into contact with these things. If their parents also had the intention of supplementing their dowry, these things would probably have benefited the wolves of the Lin family.
Thinking of this, Li Zhiwei felt a little uneasy.
Parents work hard all their lives, only to have their efforts benefit others in the end. No one would be happy to experience such a thing, right?
At this moment, Li Zhiwei became even more curious about what was in the other box.
After all, that box was the largest, and it didn't look like it would hold ordinary things.
Li Zhiwei opened the box and saw a stack of silver notes inside.
