After being reborn, he was doted on by his scumbag brother.

Fang Yueru didn't know that the Yu family didn't like their betrothal gift at all, but if they didn't even do enough on the surface, then they would become the laughing stock of the whole capital.

She has been strong for the rest of her life, and she has to maintain this little bit of face no matter what.

However, Lin Qingrou's words reminded her, and Fang Yueru suddenly said excitedly: "Rou'er, you said this, I thought of a good idea. Your third sister-in-law's dowry has now been put into our third room's warehouse. There are so many good things, you said Can we get some to fill the gap?”

Lin Qingrou was a little speechless when she heard her mother's words, "Mom, you just said you were afraid that the third sister-in-law would look down on you, so you started to care about her dowry so soon? If you do this and the third sister-in-law finds out, you will be really embarrassed. , do you still expect others to be of the same mind as us?"

Fang Yueru said helplessly: "We're not robbing her face to face. Can't we just do it in a subtle way so that she doesn't find out? She has so much dowry, and it's hard to find a few missing items. Besides, we don't necessarily have to take away some things. You can trade it for a good one, so you can quietly exchange it for a good one.”

Lin Qingrou still felt that this was too risky. Once discovered, they would be really humiliated, and they would also become enemies with the third sister-in-law, and the gain would not be worth the loss.

Lin Qingrou could only persuade her patiently: "Mom, I don't think it's right. Let's think of other ways. Besides, we don't have money to spend. We should save some time during this period. There will be monthly schedules every month, plus With grandpa’s help, things will get better gradually from now on.”

Fang Yueru disagreed, "This time I didn't get any benefits from the second bedroom of the first house. Your grandfather and uncle gave double gifts to your third brother. It's impossible to subsidize us in the near future. Besides, I don't think so either. It’s not just for daily expenses, you’re about to get your haircut, so it’s time to prepare the dowry again.”

Hearing this, Lin Qingrou said nonchalantly: "Mom, you don't have to worry about your daughter's dowry. The fourth prince is not short of this. Besides, with how obsessed he is with his daughter, he doesn't care about this at all, as long as it makes sense."

Fang Yueru became a little anxious after hearing what she said, "How can that be done? Just because the fourth prince does not lack these things does not mean we are not prepared. When the time comes, Lin Qingyao will also marry the fourth prince. Are you willing to be compared to her?"

Lin Qingrou gritted her teeth as soon as she heard Lin Qingyao. She didn't want to be compared to Lin Qingyao.

"Of course I don't want to, but what can I do? She was the main concubine in the beginning, and I was just a side concubine at most. I can't get past her no matter what. However, we can ask Lin Qingyao for what we lack. As long as I want it Yes, she will definitely give it to you.”

Fang Yueru shook her head, "We can't blame Lin Qingyao entirely. Although she is easy to cheat, Li Linglan is shrewd. This time, we didn't take advantage of your third brother's betrothal gift at all."

Seeing her daughter's thoughtful look, Fang Yueru continued: "After much thought, in order to fill our shortfall and for your dowry, your third sister-in-law's dowry is the best choice. We have worked hard to provide for your third brother All of Minato's betrothal gift went to their Yu family, so it's only right that we get some back from her, Rou'er, don't worry so much."

Lin Qingrou thought for a moment, and was finally persuaded by Fang Yueru.

Lin Qingrou sighed softly: "What you said makes sense, but don't worry, the third sister-in-law has just been married, and we have to establish a good relationship with her first. When the relationship is good, she might even give us something. "

Fang Yueru nodded after hearing this, "Rou'er, you are right. We will have to count on her for many things in the future. We really need to show her kindness first. She just got married. Let her get used to it first. In a few days, you can Come with me to find her, let's get close first."

Lin Qingrou nodded happily when she saw that her mother was not so anxious this time and had finally made some progress.

Lin Qingrou and her daughter were busy discussing countermeasures, completely unaware that Xiaolan had heard most of their conversation.

Yaotai Pavilion

Lin Qingyao was leaning on the couch to rest after returning from Xinyuan Hall. She just squinted for a while when she heard the sound of footsteps.

Lin Qingyao slowly opened her eyes, it was Qiu Han.

Lin Qingyao supported her head with her hands and said casually: "What's the matter?"

"Miss Qizhen, just now Xiaohe came to see this slave and said that he had something to report to you."

When Lin Qingyao heard that it was Xiao He, her sleepiness disappeared a lot, "Oh? It seems that there is a new situation with Lin Qingrou, let her come in."

"Yes, ma'am."

Qiu Han was about to turn around when he was stopped by Lin Qingyao.

"Qiuhan, wait a moment."

Qiu Han said respectfully: "Miss, do you have any other instructions?"

"Go and call Ruyan over and let her listen."

Qiu Han didn't ask any more questions and just said, "Yes, Miss."

If the information Xiaohe brought was useful, then Ruyan would have to handle it. Lin Qingyao simply asked Ruyan to listen to it, which would save her the trouble of telling her the story again.

Not long after, Qiu Han brought Xiao He in, followed closely by Ru Yan.

Ruyan had already learned the lady's instructions from Qiu Han and went straight to stand behind Lin Qingyao.

Xiaohe saluted Lin Qingyao, "I have seen the young lady."

Lin Qingyao waved her hand, "No courtesy, get up and answer."

"Thank you, Miss."

Before Xiao He could speak, Lin Qingyao asked: "What, is there something new happening with Lin Qingrou?"

Xiaohe nodded when he heard this, "Young lady is very knowledgeable about things. Just now Xiaolan came to the servant and said that she heard the conversation between the third lady and the third young lady. Xiaolan did not dare to stay too long and only vaguely heard them mention the dowry of the third young lady. , to make up for the shortfall, there is also the third young lady’s dowry, and he also said that he would have a good relationship with the third young lady.”

"Oh, by the way, Xiaolan also said that the lady's name was mentioned in it, but I didn't hear what it was for."

Lin Qingyao chuckled after hearing this. Although Xiaolan didn't hear much, she could already guess what the mother and daughter were thinking just from these few keywords.

Lin Qingyao didn't say much to Xiao He, but nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, I understand. You did a good job, go down and receive the reward, and report it to me if something like this happens again."

Xiao He knew what to ask and what not to ask. Her task had been completed. She just had to accept the reward obediently and there was no need to say anything else.

So he said respectfully: "Yes, Miss, thank you very much for the reward."

Lin Qingyao nodded, and Xiaohe went down to receive the reward.

"Ruyan, you heard what Xiaohe said just now. I'll give you a chance. What do you think Lin Qingrou and her daughter are plotting?"

Ruyan knew that the young lady was testing her and said with a smile: "Miss, this is not a problem for me. The third lady has put in a lot of effort for the third young master's betrothal gift this time. It is estimated that all three houses have been empty. I saw you yesterday. When the third young lady brought so much dowry, I'm afraid she might be a little jealous and want to keep it for herself."
