Lumingyuan is where Gu Minglan lived during his lifetime.
Luo Yilian sat below Yining and responded softly, "Seventh sister has lived in Luming Courtyard since she was a child. She should be familiar with every tree and blade of grass. Luming Courtyard is also spacious. If we really have to choose a place to live, Luming Courtyard is the most suitable."
Yining raised her head only after hearing this.
Grandmother had just passed away, and these people couldn't help themselves. She shouldn't have continued living in the main hall, and Chen probably didn't want her to stay there, but moving to Luming Courtyard was out of the question. Although she was an adult at heart, she looked like a child. Living in such a large courtyard was spacious, but how could she manage so many maids and servants? After all, she was still young.
Chen simply didn't want to take care of her anymore and just gave her a place to live.
Her grandmother was gone, and now it was time for her to really cheer up.
"Yining can't go back to Lumingyuan!" Lin Hairu said immediately, "Of course I will raise Yining. I am her mother, and I will take care of her from now on." She walked over, took Yining's hand, and asked her to come to her side.
Chen looked at the silent Yining and asked with a smile, "Yining, would you like to live in a big house of your own? You could put a swing in it and play hide-and-seek with the little girls." Chen patiently coaxed her, "In the summer, the trees in Luming Hall will bear sweet oranges."
After hearing this, Lin Hairu said angrily, "Sister-in-law, are you trying to persuade Yining not to follow me?"
Chen just smiled. Yi Ning didn't like being bound by her nature, so she must like living alone. She said, "It all depends on what Yi Ning wants."
Yining held Lin Hairu's hand and said to Chen, "Aunt, Yining doesn't like oranges. She wants to live with mother." Her voice was soft, and she squeezed Lin Hairu's hand firmly, hinting to her, "Although aunt is Yining's aunt, Yining's affairs belong to the second house, and mother is the one who makes the decision."
Lin Hairu came back to her senses after being squeezed by her. She immediately smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, Yining is absolutely right! After all, the Second House's affairs are still decided by the Second House. But Sister-in-law is so anxious to have Yining move out of the main hall. I don't know what Sister-in-law is planning..."
Chen's eyebrows twitched in anger at Lin Hairu's words. What did she mean by this?
"Sister-in-law, the old lady's body is still warm, so please don't say anything hurtful." Chen covered the teacup with a cold voice.
Lin Hairu bowed to her and said, "Please forgive me, sister-in-law. I am a quick-witted person. Please don't take it to heart if I offend you."
Chen was still angry, but since Lin Hairu had said so much, interfering would only make her seem like she had ulterior motives. She might as well just let it go. After the old lady's death, the first and second wives were already estranged, and they would eventually have to separate.
What does it have to do with her who Luo Yining follows!
At this time, a maid came outside the door and reported that the third young master was coming with Mother Xu.
Luo Shenyuan brought Mother Xu in. He bowed to Lin Hairu and Chen, then sat down, looked at everyone, and said, "Grandmother left a last word for Mother Xu. I hope you will listen."
Madam Xu stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Please listen, everyone. Half a month before her death, the old lady privately told me that she was leaving all her things to Miss Seven. The things in the main hall were also left to Miss Seven. She said that many of the things there originally belonged to the former Second Madam, so it was only right that they should be left to Miss Seven. I've already sorted out the land and property deeds, but it will take some time to move the things in the main hall out."
Her tone was neither hurried nor slow, as if she was merely stating the matter of giving a small jade item to someone.
Just now, Chen didn't care whether Luo Yining stayed or left. After hearing what Mother Xu said, she became more and more surprised. She was so angry that she almost crushed the armrest!
Mrs. Luo is so partial to me!
She has so many grandchildren, and her family is the eldest, so she should have more things. But she left everything to Luo Yining!
Luo Yiyu couldn't help but sneer when she heard this: "I really do have a good grandmother!"
Even though he was dead, his heart was still with Luo Yining. Did he give her everything he had out of pity for her?
Luo Yilian lowered her head, expressionless and silent. Old Mrs. Luo's things wouldn't reach Luo Yining or her either, so she certainly wasn't as excited as Luo Yiyu.
Chen suppressed her inner anger and asked coldly, "Old lady, do you really say that? What evidence do you have?"
Luo Shenyuan spoke at this time. He said calmly: "Aunt, don't be excited. Your grandson naturally has the old lady's handwritten letter. It's just that the letter is temporarily with my father. If you want to read it, you can come with me. The letter is authentic and the stewards have read it. There is no problem."
Chen met Luo Shenyuan's gaze and found him surprisingly calm. A chill suddenly lingered in her heart. Before Old Lady Luo's death, she had always assumed Luo Shenyuan had gone to prepare for her funeral. But how could it take so long? The entire staff had read the letter; it was clear she was being kept in the dark. By the time she found out, it was too late to disagree.
Luo Shenyuan must have known at that time that Old Lady Luo had left her belongings to Luo Yining, so he left at night and secretly arranged everything for Luo Yining. It's likely that the transfer of Old Lady Luo's private property had already been completed, and she was completely unaware of it.
Good job, Luo Shenyuan! It turns out she really underestimated him.
He protected his sister without revealing his methods. Now that it was too late to save her, he brought Mother Xu to tell her the old lady's last words. But what's the point of saying it now? Mrs. Luo's private money couldn't be small. It must have been at least ten thousand taels!
Chen's hands hidden in her sleeves were clenched tightly.
Yining was stunned. Grandmother... left all her things to her?
Lin Hairu was a little excited. She squatted down and whispered in Yining's ear, "Meimei, I was wondering where your third brother was just now. It turns out he was busy with this matter... He must have arranged everything for you! You will have your own private fund in the future. Do you know how much silver it is?"
