Reply: Thank you for providing the latest chapter.

Lin Yannan returned to Moyuan Pavilion, where Jingyuan was leading a group of people in bricklaying.

"Jingyuan, what's going on?"

"Sis, didn't we agree to do it ourselves? Yesterday, I talked to Aunt San and said I wanted to build a small kitchen in Moyuan Pavilion. Today, Aunt San had Jingcheng bring the carpenters and masons."

Lin Yannan: "...I actually forgot about this matter, luckily you remembered, I have to thank Aunt San for this later."

Before she didn't have much interaction with Aunt San, just greeting her as a junior when they met. Because Aunt San seemed difficult to talk to, she got closer to Aunt Er, who was gentle and friendly. Unexpectedly, the seemingly gentle Aunt Er had ulterior motives, while the less sociable Aunt San turned out to be warm-hearted.

It just goes to show, you can't judge a book by its cover.

"Sis, what's the situation with the canceled wedding? Jincheng said Auntie Er went to the Duke's residence yesterday."

"The Duke's residence has returned the marriage certificates, and I have returned them as well. The engagement is now broken."

"That's great, sis. When you go back, you'll bring with you a marriage certificate, and what you'll receive in return is a lifetime of happiness." Lin Jingyuan is not trying to console his sister, he genuinely feels this way. Zhu Ziyu is unreliable, and if his sister really marries him, that would be the beginning of an unfortunate situation.

Lin Yannan smiled: "I also think so."

Jing Yuan, this younger brother, is someone she is growing fonder of. Others only care about whether you are doing well or not, only those who truly care about you will care about whether you are living a good life or not.

Lin Jingyuan saw Jin Xin holding a box: "What is that?"

"Compensation from the Duke's Mansion."

Lin Jingyuan chuckled: "Well, take it, don't reject it for no reason. We're in need of money now."

"Don't worry about money, I estimate that Auntie Er will contact you later. No matter what kind of property Auntie Er gives us, you should gladly accept it."

"The affirmation from Ershen is the worst we can get."

"Damn it, the dowry was arranged by several uncles together, and our grandmother personally oversaw it. How could their judgment be so poor?"

"Indeed." "

You keep watching here, I'll go back to the room first." "

Lin Jingyuan looked at his sister's clumsy figure, feeling an increasingly urgent desire to become stronger. He must become strong, even if he couldn't become a mountain, he at least wanted to become a big tree that could shelter his sister from the wind and rain. Even if his sister remained like this for her whole life, she wouldn't be wronged."

Upon returning to her room, Lin Yannan asked Jin Xin, "Miss, how should we deal with these jewelry in the box?"

"Take them to Rongbaoxuan and sell them in batches."

"Ah? Sell them at Rongbaoxuan? Won't it be bad if the Duke's Mansion finds out?" Jin Xin hesitated. She had just glanced at them briefly, but they were all valuable items. People from households like the Duke's Mansion often had their jewelry custom-made, making them easily recognizable.

Lin Yannan disagrees: "So what? I won't wear it anyway, it's a waste to keep it. I'd rather exchange it for silver!"

She is determined to take it and let everyone in the Duke's mansion know that the life of this young lady from the Marquis's mansion is not easy, and she has to rely on selling jewelry to get by. The one who will be embarrassed by this is the mistress of the Duke's mansion, not her.

Slapping someone in the face should not end after just one time, it must be done persistently, giving a slap every now and then. She has suffered for three years, and the Yao family must pay for it.

"Alright then!" Since the miss insists, take it and sell it.

Not long after, Tan Yun came back, sweating as he hurried along the road.

"Miss, I've retrieved the items. Master Miao Yin said to first take the black pill. The black pill should be boiled in Ganzhan water until it cools down, and then taken. After taking it, there will be diarrhea. Tomorrow, the white pill should be taken. The white pill must be taken with white water. After taking it, you may feel drowsy, but after a nap, everything will be fine..." After reciting it again in her mind to confirm she hadn't misquoted, Tan Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

须臾又紧张起来：“完了，奴婢忘了问什么是甘澜水，什么是白饮水。”

林晏晏笑道：“所谓甘澜之水，亦称活水，流动之水，用木勺扬起水珠千万颗，取之既为活水。白饮水就是米汤。”

Jin Xin worriedly asked, "Will this medicine cause diarrhea? Miss, did you consult with a doctor before taking it?"

Early in the morning, the young lady sent Tan Yun to Jing Ci An to fetch something. She didn't expect it to be medicine. Does that Master Miao Yin really know how to treat illnesses? The young lady has seen so many doctors but none could cure her. Even if a nun in the temple knows medical skills, can she compare to those famous doctors? I hope it's not some pills made of incense ash used to deceive people for money.

Lin Yanyan smiled and said, "My mother once said that Master Miaoyin's medical skills are extraordinary. When I went to pay homage, she could immediately see that I was ill."

Jin Xin and Tan Yun exchanged glances, anyone could tell just by looking at Miss's appearance that she was unwell!

"Then she felt my pulse and said I didn't have an illness, I was poisoned."

"Poisoned..." The two little girls were shocked.

"Is... is this true?" Jinxin's tongue was tied in fear.

"Is it true that if we take this pill, we will find out?"

"But... how can we easily try it? Jinxin always feels that Master Miaoyin is unreliable."

"Don't hesitate, Tanyun, prepare some water." Translation: "

In the Mingxiang Courtyard, Liu Mama is reporting to Yao Clan.

"Early this morning, Madam San asked the third young master to take the carpenter and bricklayer to Moyuan Pavilion, saying that the fourth young master wants to build a small kitchen there."

"She really takes it seriously, finally finding an opportunity to curry favor." Yao sneered.

"But it's useless to curry favor, the dominant position is no longer what it used to be." Liu Mama said.

"Anything else?"

Early in the morning, Yu An and Tan Yun left the government office and now they have returned with a cart full of things, like pots and pans, miscellaneous items. They even bought lunch from De Yi Lou. Miss thought that chasing away all the people we arranged would solve everything, but she didn't expect that Yu An was already on our side. Every move of Moyuan Pavilion is still under the control of Madam.

“余安这颗钉子不能轻易动用。”

“夫人，现在墨渊阁防的这么严，不好下手了。”刘妈愁道，她怕药下的太猛会被钟大夫看出来，所以每次都下一点点，再有两三次才能下完。

"Whether I give it to them or not, it doesn't matter. After all, the engagement has already been called off and she is on her deathbed. It won't hurt to let her live a few more days. What I'm worried about is which part of the business to give to them." Yao Shi felt heartbroken at the thought of losing a large sum of wealth. The old lady suggested giving a few insignificant businesses to Moyuan Ge, but the problem was that there was no insignificant part of the industries managed by the Shen family. She couldn't bear giving away any of them. The old lady had really given her a difficult problem to solve.

Because of the national mourning before, the business in the shop has decreased by at least 50%, and the rented shops have also had to reduce the rent. In short, the income has decreased a lot. So she gave the money to her younger brother to invest in printing money, and it can only be returned next year. Now she has to take out so much money again, and she doesn't know how to make up for this deficit.

"Then we can only choose the shortest among the elder sons. Madam Liu is also amazing, with just a casual remark, she handed over the entire family business to Moyuan Ge." It's true that one is unaware of the value of firewood, rice, oil, and salt until one becomes the master of the house," Liu's mother complained.

"Be careful what you say." Yao reprimanded, "How dare you also scheme against the old lady? You have quite the audacity."

Liu Ma awkwardly suggested, "Why don't we delay?"

Yao gave her a glare, "Can we afford to delay? They will demand it before the Peach Blossom Banquet, and if we don't give it, who knows what tricks she will pull then."

Yao sincerely believes that Zhu Ziyu made a bad move. He originally wanted Lin Yannan to embarrass herself at the Peach Blossom Banquet, but unexpectedly, that post became Lin Yanan's killer move for counterattack.
