Return

"A sandalwood carved canopy bed, a pair of mandarin duck porcelain pillows, eighteen rubies and emeralds..."

Master Su had the booklets brought in and invited the former Stewardess to come and help.

Old Madam Lin listened with her eyes closed.

The expressions on Lin Huabin and his wife's faces grew increasingly grim.

Lin Yunjiao's lips turned pale and trembled slightly... The more she listened, the more familiar it sounded!

There were also many other things, which were utensils used by her mother and her in the Courtyard where they lived.

She thought it belonged to her father's family, how could it be from the Su Shi!

"The Su Family is truly incredibly wealthy; no wonder they were once the richest businessmen in Jiangqian..."

Lin Yunwan spoke in a low voice.

Xiruo was also taken aback; the Su Family was so wealthy that they gave such a generous dowry to their daughter.

"Poor Miss Lin..."

They lived such a miserable life.

The Su Shi's dowry was so large back then; if we keep reading like this, I don't know how long it will take.

Old Madam Lin couldn't listen anymore.

"Alright, Uncle has told them to stop reading."

Master Su dismissed the Stewardess.

Old Madam Lin quietly instructed the head maid beside her to randomly select a few booklets.

"The paper is yellowed, and the ink is from many years ago."

"Although it's well-preserved, it's clear that the ink in this booklet is genuine from years ago, not a forgery."

Nanny Fan looked down at the booklet and spoke to the Old Madam in her ear.

Old Madam Lin nodded, closed the booklet, and said, "Uncle, there's no need for that. We'll accept whatever the Su Family brings."

The Su Family wouldn't dare to forge anything.

"The Old Madam is very understanding and righteous."

Master Su stood up and bowed.

Master Su also said, "My sister married into our family and passed away not long after giving birth to Yun Wan. Considering she was just a woman, she wouldn't have needed much in those two or three years."

He casually tore off a piece of paper from the cash register and said, "Then please add the rest of these to Yun Wan's dowry, brother-in-law."

Lin Huabin's expression remained relatively calm, but he was drenched in sweat.

He stood up, looking embarrassed, and said, "... Okay, okay. That's only right, I know that too."

I was incredibly panicked.

Where in his mansion would he find so much stuff? How could it possibly have been added to Yun Wan's dowry?

However, if they don't agree to give it to Yun Wan, then it will have to be returned to the Su Family.

He could still discuss things privately with Yun Wan, but there was no room for negotiation with the Su Family; things could easily escalate to the point of going to court.

The Lin Residence would be utterly humiliated!

"Brother-in-law, our Lin Residence also kept three copies of these booklets. Don't worry, I will definitely add them all to Yun Wan's dowry."

Lin Huabin smiled and didn't dare to look at Yun Wan.

He certainly wouldn't give any of that dowry to Yun Wan; in the eyes of this adopted daughter, he probably already looked like a hypocrite!

There's nothing we can do about it; it's better than giving the Su Family so much money for nothing.

Let's just bite the bullet and agree first, and get rid of this plague from the Su Family.

"I can't have it."

After Lin Yunwan suddenly spoke.

Lin Huabin was stunned for a moment, staring straight at her.

Even Zheng Shi was dumbfounded. So much dowry, and she just wanted it back?

She couldn't help but stand up and plead, "Silly child! What nonsense are you talking about? This is your dowry, how can you refuse it?"

Lin Yunwan ignored Zheng Shi.

She looked at Lin Huabin and said, "Sir, I can't accept it."

He knew perfectly well that she was a fake "Yun" Wan, so how could she possibly accept the Su Family's dowry?

It's perfectly reasonable for her to refuse.

Lin Huabin panicked, rushing over in two strides, stammering incoherently, "You... you child! This is what your mother left you..."

Still trying to pretend?

"Master."

Lin Yunwan stood up and curtsied. "I have also studied the laws of the Imperial Court. If my birth mother has a legitimate Legitimate Son and I have a legitimate brother, then it is fine if my brother inherits. As a daughter who has married out, how can I possibly ask for such a large dowry?"

"It's unreasonable and illogical."

"Yun Wan hasn't been able to fulfill her filial duties to her maternal grandfather and maternal uncles and maternal uncle's wife for many years. If she takes this dowry..."

She sighed, "How am I supposed to face people after this, Master? I don't care about myself, but I'm afraid I'll implicate the Prince."

Prince Huan Consort was not someone to be criticized behind her back.

Lin Yunwan said to Master Su, "Maternal uncle, Yun Wan really can't accept this dowry."

She didn't say that the Su Family should take it back; how to handle it was up to the Su Family and the Lin Residence to discuss.

Lin Yunwan retreated, as if it were none of her business.

"This..."

Master Su looked at Old Madam Lin, then at Lin Huabin.

Lin Huabin is now in a difficult situation.

He couldn't afford to give it all to the Su Family, and even if he could, he wouldn't want to sacrifice his own flesh. He dared not accept the fake daughter! The Lin Residence had neither the face nor the right to keep it.

Everyone knows that the best course of action now is to act in accordance with the law.

But how could the Lin Residence family possibly agree!

The room was quiet.

Clutching a string of Buddhist prayer beads, Old Madam Lin said in a deep voice, "Let's each take half."

"Mother!"

Lin Huabin didn't know what to do, but he couldn't help but shout out, a shout filled with dissatisfaction.

Old Madam Lin didn't even glance at her second son.

She made a decision on her own and said to Master Su, "We'll return half of the second son's wife's dowry to the Su Family. The other half will be kept for Yun Wan as her dowry. What do you think, Uncle?"

Master Su stood up and said with a smile, "I'll leave it to the Old Madam to decide."

Lin Yunwan, however, was unwilling.

She and Master Su hadn't discussed it this way before.

"Maternal uncle, Old Madam..."

Lin Yunwan also stood up.

She didn't want a single cent.

"Yun Wan, you should listen to your elders in this matter."

Old Madam Lin already had a well-thought-out plan in mind.

"Old Madam."

Lin Yunwan frowned.

Old Madam Lin said earnestly, "Yun Wan, you are going to marry into the Prince's Mansion. This dowry is more suitable for you than anyone else. Money is, in essence, just an external thing. Remember, this money must be 'taken from the people and used for the people' in the future."

Lin Yunwan was stunned.

Judging from the Old Madam's words, does she really intend to give her the dowry?

Master Su walked over and said with a smile, "Yun Wan, your maternal uncle thinks the same way as your Old Madam. It was originally your mother's dowry, so just take it. If you keep making excuses, your maternal uncle will be unhappy."

Old Madam Lin did not give Lin Yunwan a chance to refuse.

She smiled and instructed Lin Huabin, "Quickly, take your uncle to the Front Courtyard for a drink! Our in-laws have come from afar, so you must treat them well."

She even told Master Su, "On the day Yun Wan gets married, your uncle's whole family will be there!"

"Definitely, definitely."

Master Su and his entire family bowed to the Old Madam and took their leave.

Lin Huabin's face was dark and gloomy. How could he possibly produce so many things?

Fearing the Su Family might notice something amiss, he forced himself to lead the way, saying, "Elder Brother-in-Law, please." He also said to Zheng Shi, "Hurry up and take Yun Wan's maternal uncle's wife to have dinner."

After regaining her composure, Zheng Shi forced a smile and led her people over.

My heart was pounding, and I felt a little dazed.

Are you really going to return so many things to the Su Family?

What should we do now?!

The sky is about to fall.
