C4 Mother Shaw's Concerns

"As for the dowry..." Mother Shaw frowned and thought for a while, "The estate has quite a lot of wealth. After the old master passed away, the wife took over the business, but there are still a lot of farmland. Before the wife passed away, she had already written down the list. The dowry for the two girls are the same. There are 80 acres of farmland in the south, 30 acres of land in the north, and there are some shops in the north and south. There isn't much silver left, so everyone left 100,000 taels of silver."

Jie Mei Liang Ge was flabbergasted. Although she had heard that their family was a wealthy merchant, she did not know that there were so many of them. Normally, Jie Mei Liang Ge's monthly salary was only two taels of silver.

"That farmland was originally a piece of land. Madam split it into two and gave it to the two girls. She said that Jie Mei Liang Ge could take care of it in the future." Mother Shaw said, but there was a hint of hesitation in her eyes.

Chu Xu Hua knew his mother very well, so he said straightforwardly, "Mother, just say what you want to say. There are only three of us here."

"In fact, the estate left behind by the old master and the wife is much more than this. At that time, the wife said that she would entrust the two sisters to the Marquis Mansion so that the Marquis Mansion could raise them. We can't just leave them here for nothing, so... there was another list that was written and given to the Marquis Mansion. It said that the world had changed, and they didn't know how the two sisters would turn out when they grew up. They wanted the old master and the old lady to take care of them."

"How much is it?" Chu Yue Hua slightly narrowed her eyes.

"In short … I am not sure, but, in short, it will not be less than the dowry of the two ladies."

Chu Yue Hua and Chu Xu Hua looked at each other, but they did not speak. In their hearts, they seemed to have thought of something.

Mother Shaw looked at the two of them and suddenly knelt on the ground.

"Mother, what are you doing?" Chu Xu Hua was shocked and quickly reached out to help her.

"Young lady, there are some words that have been held in my heart for so many years. It's really uncomfortable to not say them out."

"If you have something to say, just say it to me. Why do you need to do this? You are my mother, and your friendship is not ordinary. How can I live with you like this?"

"Young lady, be careful! The Marquis Mansion may seem to be bustling with flowers and silk, but after all these years, I may not see them! They …"

Outsiders say that the two young ladies are from the business world and look down on the young ladies, but why did the Lady marry the old master back then?

Outsiders say that the old master saved the Lady's life once, and the Duke of High Duke felt gratitude for the old master's kindness, so he simply married his beloved daughter to the old master.

However, do you know how much the betrothal gifts that the old master sent over were? It was a total of five hundred thousand taels of silver! Didn't they just accept it? Look at the young ladies in front of you. The eldest daughter is like a painting, but she is a concubine. However, she married into the Marquis Yong Ding's Mansion. The second daughter of the second wife is now the imperial concubine.

"These two young ladies are the fates of the High Duke. How could such a person casually marry his wife to a merchant who has no official position?"

Chu Xu Hua glanced at his sister, then said with a slight tremble, "Mother's meaning is … for money?"

"Other than this, what else could it be? Where is there any money in their family now? The reason why I said these words today is also because I'm really worried about the two young ladies. In the future … they might be schemed against! How can I … go and see the old master and his wife! "

Chu Xu Hua's expression turned cold, and then his voice suddenly became three times more serious, "Mother's words are too much. The Marquis Palace is my maternal grandfather's family, and that's a blood relationship. How can it be so shameless? In the future, it's best if you don't say such words again."

After saying that, he went straight into the room, leaving behind Mother Shaw, who was still kneeling on the ground with a stunned expression, and Chu Yue Hua, who was deep in thought.

"Second Miss, I …"

Chu Yue Hua came back to her senses and looked at the frightened Mother Shaw, revealing a gentle smile, "Why are you still kneeling? Hurry up and get up! The floor is cold, and it's not good for your joints. Yesterday, I saw the Phoenix Immortal Flower blooming in the corner of the wall, so I have to trouble you to pick some for us. Later, we can dye our nails. "

How could Mother Shaw refuse? She quickly walked out, and when she reached the door, she saw the second young lady walking towards the big young lady's room. Today, the second young lady seemed to have matured a lot …

When Chu Yue Hua walked into her sister's room, she saw her silently looking at the window. When she heard the sound, she quickly took out a handkerchief and pressed the corner of her eyes.

"Sister!" Chu Xu Hua walked over and called out gently.

"Yue Er!" Her eyes were still red, it could be seen that she had cried.

"Mother Shaw!"

"What do you think of what I just said?"

"Mom is talking nonsense, why are you following along? If it gets into Aunt's ears, we sisters …"

"Sister, you also believe it in your heart, right?" Chu Yue Hua looked into her eyes and interrupted her.

"I …"

"If you don't believe it, you will be punished by Mother Shaw at this time. She will make her remember to not talk anymore, but … Sister is crying. "

Chu Xu Hua looked at his sister and wanted to refute, but when he opened his mouth, he was unable to say anything. Suddenly, tears fell.

Chu Yue Hua frowned, "But what happened?"

Looking at his sister as if she was confirming it again and again, Chu Xu Hua slowly said, "A few days ago, you were lying in the room. Ru Yun and Heart Sister were playing in the parlor. At that time, Second Wife was also there, and Cousin Qian came in to pay respects to the Old Madam.

Then, he passed by and talked to us for a while. He said that the older I get, the quieter I become. He said that I don't like to joke around with him anymore. Originally, these words were not polite. Men and women are different at seven years old. Although we are cousins, I'm already thirteen years old, how can I still joke around with him?

In the end, Second Aunt actually smiled and said, "I'm already old now, I'm sorry. If you want to joke with me, you can go home in the future."

At that time, everyone was laughing and joking, but I didn't feel good in my heart. No matter what, Second Wife was also the young miss of the High Duke's Public House, how could she say such words? But I thought that it was just a careless remark, and it was just a remark in the past.

Hearing Mother Shaw's words today, my heart …"

"I'm afraid that Second Wife didn't say it carelessly that day! Such words are most afraid of being spread out. If it gets out, it will be difficult for her to marry someone else in the future! "

Chu Yue Hua said softly, but in her heart, she knew that in her previous life, it was done by the Deng Family. Later on, everyone said that Sister was together with Zhou Zhao Wei, and in the end, she had no choice but to marry him.

The Deng Family still looked like she had been wronged, saying that Chu Xu Hua was the daughter of a merchant. If it wasn't for the fact that she had been raised by the old lady all these years, she would never have agreed to it.

It was because of this that Sister was in a difficult position after marrying him, and she was gone in less than three years.
