"Speaking of marrying her..." Xiao mama frowned and thought for a while, "The estate does have a lot of property, but after Master became seriously ill, Madam managed to take back the business matters. However, there is still a lot of land left. Before the Madam passed away, she had already written down the list. The dowry for the two of them were the same, the south side having eighty paddy fields, the northwest side having thirty paddy fields, and then, there were also some shops on the north and south side. The other people did not have much money, and each person had saved one hundred thousand silver taels.

The two sisters were flabbergasted. Although they had heard others say that their family was rich, they did not know that there were actually so many. Normally, the monthly allowance of the two sisters here was less than two taels of silver.

"That field originally belonged to the same place. Madame divided it into two and gave it to the two ladies. She said that it would be easier for the two sisters to look after it in the future." As Mama Xiao spoke, there was hesitation in her eyes.

Since Chu Xuanghua understood his wet nurse, he bluntly said, "Mom, if you have something to say, just say it, there's only the three of us here."

"Actually, the property left behind by the lord and mistress is far more than this. At that time, the madam's meaning was that the two ladies should be entrusted to the house of the Marquis and that the two ladies should not be left to fend for themselves. So …" Another part was a separate list. I gave it to the house of the Marquis and said that the world had changed greatly. I wonder what will happen when the two ladies grow up.

"In short... "I'm not too sure either, but it won't be any less than the two ladies' dowry."

Chu Yuehua and Chu Xuohua looked at each other, neither of them saying anything, but they seemed to have thought of something in their hearts.

Mama Xiao glanced at the two of them before suddenly dropping to her knees.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Chu Xuohua was shocked, hurriedly reaching out to help her.

"Miss, there are some words that have been held in this old servant's heart. It's been so many years since I last spoke, and it's really been difficult for me to speak them out loud."

"If you have something to say, then just say it to me. Why do you need to say it like that? "You are my wet nurse, so our friendship is naturally extraordinary. If you are like this, how can I be at ease?"

"Girl, have some snacks! The people outside the house may look like flowers blooming in the morning, but in all these years, I've never seen such a sight! The Cheng family said that the two ladies were born into a merchant family and looked down on the girls. However, why did the madam marry the lord in the past?

It was said that the old master had once saved his wife's life. The duke of Guo was grateful for the old master's kindness, so he simply married his beloved daughter to the old master.

But, do you know how many bridal gifts the old master sent over in the past? A total of five hundred thousand silver taels! Isn't this place an easy place to buy? Looking at the ladies in front of him, the one in the main room, Miss Painted, was born from a concubine but had married into the House of Marquis Yongding. The second lady in the second room was now the concubine of the palace.

"These two young misses are part of the Duke of Guo's plans. How could such a family marry their young lady to a merchant without any achievements?"

Chu Xuanghua glanced at his sister, then shivered a little. "Mother means … Is it for money? "

"Other than this, what else could it be? What money did his family have now? The reason why he said those words today was because he was truly worried about the two ladies. In the future … Who knows? He might be tricked! Call me. Why are you meeting the old master and his wife! "

Chu Xuohua's expression turned cold, but then his voice suddenly darkened, "Mom, your words are too much. The Hou Mansion is my maternal grandfather's family, and that is the blood of a direct relative. "It's best for mom not to say these words in the future."

After saying that, he directly entered the room, leaving behind the stunned Xiao Ma who was still kneeling on the floor, and the thoughtful Chu Yuehua.

"Second Miss, I …"

Chu Yuehua came back to her senses, looked at the panic-stricken Xiao Ma, and revealed a gentle smile, "Why is mother still kneeling, hurry up and get up! Yesterday, I saw that the Immortal Phoenix Flowers in the corner were blooming extremely well, so I had to trouble mom to gather some for us two. Later, give us two dyed nails. "

How could mother Xiao not understand what was going on? She quickly left the room and when she reached the door, she saw the second girl heading into the girl's room. The second girl seemed to have matured a lot today …

When Chu Yuehua walked into her elder sister's room, she saw her silently facing the window by herself. Hearing the sound, she hurriedly took out a handkerchief and pressed it to the corner of her eyes.

"Elder sister!" Chu Xuanhua walked over and said softly.

"Yue Er!" Her eyes were still red. It was obvious that she had been crying.

"What did elder sister think of what mother Xiao said just now?"

"Mom is blabbering nonsense, why are you still blabbering like this? If Aunt and the rest hear of it, the two of us …"

"Elder sister, do you believe me now?" Chu Yuehua looked into her eyes and interrupted her.

"I …"

"If elder sister does not believe me, then I will punish Mother Xiao at this time. I will let her remember this better and stop spouting nonsense, but … But big sister cried. "

Chu Xuanhua looked at his sister and wanted to refute, but when he opened his mouth, he was unable to say anything. Suddenly, tears flowed down his face.

Chu Yuehua frowned, "But what happened?"

Looking at his sister as if he had confirmed it over and over again, Chu Xuanghua finally said slowly, "You were just lying in the house a few days ago. I was playing in the parlour with Ru Yun and elder sister Xin. At that time, second wife was also there, so elder cousin Wei came in to pay his respects to the old lady.

After that, he passed by and chatted with us for a while, then he said that the older I was, the quieter I became. He said that he didn't like joking with him anymore, and that what he said originally wasn't polite at all.

In the end, his second aunt actually laughed and said, "I'm old now, so I'm sorry. If you want to joke with me, when we get back home, you won't be able to escape, right?"

Everyone was laughing and joking at the time, but I didn't feel the same way. After all, the second wife was also the eldest daughter of the palace, so how could she say something like that? But I thought that it was just a moment of carelessness.

Today, after hearing what Mother Xiao said, my heart … "

"I'm afraid Mrs. Two didn't say it by accident!" If that's the case, I am afraid of saying something stupid. If the word were to spread out, it would be difficult for me to marry anyone else in the future! "

In her previous life, it was the Deng Family who had done this. Later on, everyone mixed up their older sister with that Zhou Zhaowei, and in the end, they had no choice but to marry him.

Madam Deng was still outside saying that Chu Xuanhua was the daughter of a merchant. If it weren't for the fact that she had been raised in front of an old lady all these years, she would never have agreed.

It was precisely because of this that after elder sister got married, she was in a difficult situation. In less than three years, she would be gone.
