Old slave?

The name has changed?

Could it be that the master of the Wen family has returned?

Xue Jinhua would naturally not refuse. She didn't like this shabby yard in the first place, and it was located in a remote place, so why would she make herself suffer?

As Mother Wang came to the painting pavilion, Yinghua looked at it carefully. Although it was not as gorgeous as the Zhao family's courtyard, it also had its own elegant charm.

"Why wouldn't you have just asked us to move here when we came? Why go through so much trouble?" Sakura muttered softly.

Xue Jinhua shook her head helplessly, "You are so unreasonable. No matter what, let's just stay here first."

In the Wen family's Buddhist temple, Master Wen stood straight in front of Madam Wen, "Mother, since we have brought the person back, we should treat him well. I know you are dissatisfied, but it is only a matter of a month or so."

"What do you mean? Are you still obsessed with that vixen? Are you pitying her bloodline?"

Master Wen frowned slightly, "Mother, the Lin family will come tomorrow to pay the betrothal gifts and discuss the wedding date. If people see that our Wen family's daughter lives in such a shabby house, how will the Lin family view us? Doing this is not to disrespect the Lin family, but if it gets out, the whole of Nanling will regard our Wen family as a laughing stock."

"I just want her to recognize her own identity. Since you said so, then let's do as you say. But I have to make this matter clear to you. If Jinyu knew about this, she would definitely be unhappy. After all, she was brought up in a pampered environment. You have to compensate her well."

"My son has already made preparations, mother, don't worry!"

After Mr. Wen settled the Wen family, he ran towards the painting pavilion like a gust of wind.

"Master Wen."

After Xue Jinhua sent the servants away, she bowed to the seemingly gentle man in front of her.

"Young lady, why are you so polite?" Master Wen looked ashamed. "There are so many trivial matters at home. I should have gone to greet you personally."

"It doesn't matter."

He never even thought of taking his own daughter back after she passed away, but now he is so fawning on her. Xue Jinhua really doesn't have the slightest fondness for this heartless man.

"The old lady went to pick me up personally, which is considered to be worthy of Miss Wen."

She had no interest in knowing about the affairs of the Wen family, nor did she want to understand them. However, through what happened today, she had to make things clear.

Master Wen was a perceptive person and quickly understood what she meant.

He smiled bitterly and said, "Don't worry, young lady. I didn't tell my mother about your visit to my house, so she is dissatisfied with you. I will go back and talk to her and ask her not to bother you again during this period of time."

For Mr. Wen, Xue Jinhua's origin was not simple. She was specially arranged by the Qian family.

People in Nanling are full of curiosity and speculation about the Qian family, but only Master Wen knows the truth: the Qian family is the Queen's maiden family!

When the young lady was sent to his house and engaged to the Lin family, Master Wen understood that they had become connected to the royal family.

He has worked hard in Nanling for many years, but is still just a minor official.

However, if he could use the young lady's power to build up a relationship with the royal family this time, perhaps he would be able to rise to a high position in the future.

Even if he could not achieve his goal of becoming rich and powerful, he could at least make huge profits from the Lin family's huge assets.

"Then I'll have to trouble Master Wen." Xue Jinhua knew very well that Master Wen must have his own plans in mind, but she did not point them out.

After all, everyone lives for their own interests, including herself now.

As long as she could ensure her own peace during this period, Xue Jinhua didn't intend to worry too much about other things.

Since receiving the warning from Mr. Wen, Madam Wen has indeed restrained herself a lot and has not caused her any trouble again.

That night, Xue Jinhua slept particularly soundly.

The next morning, sunlight poured into the room through the window, and Xue Jinhua slowly opened her eyes.

Just then, Sakura hurried into the house.

"Miss, you're awake! Someone from the Lin family is here to present the betrothal gift!"

Xue Jinhua was unable to have a good rest due to the exhaustion from all the traveling.

After learning that she was no longer in danger last night, she actually slept until now.

"It's just a betrothal gift, why are you so flustered?"

Xue Jinhua seemed quite calm. After she stood up, Mother Zhou and Qingyi helped her wash up.

"Miss, the one who came this time was not Master Qian himself, but his servants... I think that since we have reached the stage of proposing, Master should at least come in person to show his sincerity, right?"

However, at this moment, Xue Jinhua's mind was no longer on this matter.

She remembered that when they were in Kyoto before, Master Qian had said that he still had some things to deal with.

Hasn't he come back yet?

"Well, that's fine, but I think you still have to go and take a look, young lady. Those betrothal gifts look very valuable. You haven't seen the eyes of Madam Wen and the Second Miss. They almost want to move all these things into their own room." Yinghua said as she helped Xue Jinhua make the bed.

Yinghua knew that her young lady didn't like money, and she also knew that her young lady was rich, but when she saw the greedy grandparents and grandchildren, she didn't want to let them get away with it.

"She is an official's wife after all. She seems to have never seen the world. She takes other people's things so naturally. I think this is probably not the first time."

"Cherry blossoms."

Seeing that she was becoming more and more outspoken, Xue Jinhua scolded her, "Yinghua, this is the Wen family, have you forgotten your identity?"

"Miss, I know I was wrong. I just... feel it's not worth it for you." Sakura muttered, with a hint of grievance in her voice.

"The Wen family does have a confused old man, but Master Wen is a sensible man. He will not take things that do not belong to him, and he does not dare to take them." Xue Jinhua said lightly.

Sakura looked up doubtfully at her young lady.

The eyes of the Wen family's grandfather and grandson in the front yard turned red when they saw the betrothal gifts.

In addition to the usual items, there was a full 50,000 taels of silver in cash alone.

Not to mention the precious gold and silver jewelry, as well as the valuable medicinal materials and cloth...

Let alone marrying a young lady from the Wen family, even marrying a princess would be enough.

Wen Jinyu's eyes immediately turned red, tears welled up in her eyes: "Grandma, how can there be so much money?"

These should all be hers!

Old Madam Wen was born into a peasant family. How could she have ever seen such enormous wealth?

I was so shocked that I couldn't speak for a moment.

But she soon made a plan in her mind.

"I wonder if the eldest lady of the Wen family can come out?" Butler Qian picked up the teacup, took a sip, and took in the greedy looks of everyone in the Wen family.

"Is there anything I can do for Butler Qian?" Old Madam Wen asked calmly.

"Madam, it's like this. Before we came here, my second master told me that these betrothal gifts need to be reviewed by Miss Wen personally. If there is still something she is not satisfied with, our Qian family will go and purchase it." Butler Qian said with a smile.

Not satisfied with this?

So what does it mean to be satisfied?

Old Madam Wen looked at the mountains of things in front of her. Almost the entire hall of the Wen family was filled up.

She thought to herself that if Wen Jinhua still didn't want to, that would be too much.

When Wen Jinyu heard these words, she was so excited that she almost jumped up, her eyes full of jealousy and resentment.

"Also, the list of betrothal gifts this time needs to be handed over to Miss Wen." Butler Qian emphasized again.

When these words came out, the Wen family was stunned.

What did the Qian family mean by directly handing the gift list to Wen Jinhua, bypassing the elders? Did they think the Wen family would embezzle the betrothal gifts?

Madam Wen was so displeased by being looked down upon. "My granddaughter is so precious. She cannot be exposed to the wind or rain when she goes out on weekdays. Now she cannot stand the wind and cannot go out to meet people. Butler Qian, please give me the gift list and I will pass it to her later."

Once it is in your hands, it is yours and you can do whatever you want with it. It is your business.
