Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

After the doctor took Ding's pulse and prescribed medicine, Old Lady Lin sent her back to rest.

When only Old Lady Lin and Aunt Cheng, mother and daughter, were left, Old Lady Lin vented her anger without any concealment.

"Did you see that? She was determined to keep the two children in the mansion!

I've made my point so clearly, but she still insists on being so picky.

It's as if the two children have no hope in life if they don't live in the mansion!"

Aunt Cheng sat beside Old Lady Lin and rubbed her back. "Mother, my cousin's wife has suffered too much. She feels uneasy and scared. So she thinks that as long as Gou Wa and Tian Ya stay in Marquis Zhaoping's mansion, she won't have to worry about anything in the future. She is completely relieved."

"If Gou Wa and Tian Ya don't stay in the mansion, you don't have to worry about it in the future!" Old Mrs. Lin glared, "I've already told you to buy all the things the two children need. They can come to the mansion anytime they want. What's there to worry about?!"

Aunt Cheng smiled gently: "Maybe it's not because she's worried, but because she wants the two children to have a better future."

Old Mrs. Lin turned her head to look at Aunt Cheng.

Aunt Cheng stopped helping Old Lady Lin with her back, pursed her lips, and stated the truth that everyone understood:

"Not to mention that the living conditions of the two children living outside are not as good as those in the mansion, what my cousin's wife cares about most is that the two children living outside the mansion will reduce their "value" a lot.

After living in the mansion for a long time, the two children were regarded by outsiders as half masters of the Zhaoping Marquis Mansion, rather than just distant relatives of the mansion.

This way, the two children will have a wider range of choices when they get married in the future."

Aunt Cheng held Mrs. Lin's hand and said, "Mom, my cousin's wife is also doing this for the two children."

Old Mrs. Lin snorted and said unhappily, "If I didn't know she was doing this for the two children, would I have said so much to her? I would have sent her away long ago!"

As she spoke, Old Lady Lin suddenly stood up and walked out: "I'm going to find Ah Wan and ask Ah Wan to tell me what I just thought of. How about it?!"

Aunt Cheng: "......"

Why does this sound so much like going to the parents to complain?

"Mom! Awan is preparing for the exam! Don't disturb her with such trivial matters!" Aunt Cheng hurriedly caught up with Grandma Lin.

Mrs. Lin waved her hand:

"I was calculating the time. When I got to Ah Wan's courtyard, she would be resting.

Besides, this is not a small matter. Awan will have to make the final decision on how to arrange the two children.

Don't follow me, there are too many people going there, it will disturb Ah Wan's rest."

Aunt Cheng: "......" What do you mean by acting like you can make all the decisions? Also, if you get old, won't you disturb Ah Wan's rest?

......

In Chunhua Garden where Cheng Wan lived, the maid guarding the garden saw Old Lady Lin coming in and hurriedly saluted to her: "Old Lady..."

"Hush!" Old Lady Lin quickly stopped the maid from greeting her, and then asked in a low voice, "Is the Marquis still reading?"

"In reply to the old lady, the Marquis did not summon you, and we dare not disturb you, so we don't know if you are reading."

Old Mrs. Lin looked hesitant.

What if the eldest granddaughter is still reading? It would be not worth disturbing her for such a small matter.

Old Mrs. Lin turned and left. She decided to find another opportunity to briefly mention the matter of Lin Gou Wa and Lin Tian Ya to Cheng Wan.

"Milk."

Cheng Wan appeared at the door of the attic and shouted at Old Lady Lin's back.

Old Mrs. Lin's eyes lit up and she turned around immediately: "Ah Wan! Ah Wan, are you taking a rest now? Grandma has something to tell you."

Cheng Wan rubbed his sore wrist, raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "I'm just about to take a break, come in and tell me if you have anything to say."

Jin Jin had already reminded Old Lady Lin that she was walking this way, and she thought the old lady would come in directly.

Old Mrs. Lin suddenly smiled and walked quickly towards Cheng Wan.

Cheng Wan led Mrs. Lin to her study. As soon as they entered, Mrs. Lin had an idea.

Her eldest granddaughter worked hard...

"I have to read so many books? And write so many words?!"

This was the first time that Old Lady Lin came to Cheng Wan's study. She knew that Cheng Wan was working hard to prepare for the exam, but she didn't know that Cheng Wan had to read and write so many things.

"Some of the books in the study are leisure books and have little to do with the imperial examinations."

As he spoke, Cheng Wan walked to the raised corner, removed the waste paper covering it, and then pulled out Gu Yu, who was sitting there folding waste paper for fun.

Mrs. Lin: "......She's also quite playful."

Gu Yu grinned at Old Lady Lin. His smile was soft and his voice was even softer: "Grandma."

"Oh, my dear, come and let grandma hug you."

Gu Yu ran towards Old Lady Lin on his short legs. Old Lady Lin quickly caught Gu Yu and held him in her arms.

The old and the young were so close to each other, as if they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

Cheng Wan twitched the corner of his lips, poured a cup of tea for Old Lady Lin, and poured another cup for himself: "Is what grandma going to say related to my cousin?"

Mrs. Lin was stunned: "How do you know?"

"If it's not about the Lin family, I'm probably a servant here to pass on a message."

Old Mrs. Lin glanced at Cheng Wan's head.

This cleverness is like her.

"Ah night..."

Old Mrs. Lin recounted the story of how Mrs. Ding came to see her today, becoming more and more excited as she spoke:

"You said, isn't it right for grandma to be thinking about it?

Isn't the idea you gave me good? "

Cheng Wan nodded: "Yes, okay."

“It’s true that I am the two children’s aunt, and I sincerely hope that they will be well, but to be honest, I cannot treat the two children and Sanping and his family equally.

If the two children are only staying for a while, we must treat them well and give them first the good things.

But if nothing unexpected happens, these two children will have to rely on the Cheng family for their livelihood in the future, and it will not be just a month or so, let alone a few days or three.

The two children staying in the mansion have already taken up a part of Sanping and his friends' resources. How is it possible that whatever Sanping and his friends have, the two children also have?

If that really happens, Sanping and the others might not accept it.

Their surname is Lin, not Cheng! I can't ask them to change their surname to Cheng!"

Cheng Wan continued to nod. What the old lady said was from the heart.

"Gou Wa is about the same age as your second brother, and Tian Ya and Xiao Yu are only two years apart!

They are so close in age, how can there not be conflicts over time?!

Even if the two children are honest and well behaved, after a long time, when they regard Zhaoping Marquis Mansion as their own home, won’t they have other thoughts in their hearts? "

"Yeah, grandma's right." Cheng Wan nodded, and her face showed no sign of what she was thinking.

Old Mrs. Lin glared: "Are you just trying to please me?"

Cheng Wan was suddenly happy and gave Mrs. Lin a thumbs up: "Grandma, you know a lot of words now."

"Be serious, I'm getting so annoyed and you're still laughing!"

Old Mrs. Lin rolled her eyes.

Cheng Wan lowered his eyes, played with the cup in his hand, and smiled: "I've already made the choice, why are you still worried?"

"Of course, I am annoyed that your aunt still insists on keeping the two children in the mansion."

"Okay, I have no objection." Cheng Wan raised his eyes, his brows relaxed: "Grandma, there is no need to worry too much about things that haven't happened yet. After all, I have your back."
