Transmigration into a Book: My Lord, Your Wife Has Taken Another Concubine for You

Lin Yanran and Lin Jiangzhuo sat down in the inner room, and Lin Jiangzhuo immediately instructed the people around him to quickly serve Lin Yanran some snacks.

After Lin Jiangzhuo named three of her favorite snacks, Lin Yanran quickly stopped him, saying, "These are enough. Any more and your aunt will be too full to walk."

Lin Jiangzhuo was amused by Lin Yanran's suggestion and laughed, "Couldn't you just try a little bit of everything?"

Lin Yanran chimed in, "Even when delicious food is right in front of you, Auntie sometimes can't resist."

Lin Jiangzhuo smiled even more happily upon hearing this. This was why Lin Jiangzhuo enjoyed spending time with her aunt; they were comfortable and at ease with each other, and she didn't have to maintain the demeanor of a noble lady all the time.

Taking advantage of the pleasant atmosphere, Lin Yanran took a box from Wen Meihua, opened it, and placed it in front of Lin Jiangzhuo. "This is a dowry from your cousin Xuan. He can't come to the backyard, so your aunt is handing it over to him."

Lin Jiangzhuo happily put it away, "Auntie, please thank Cousin Xuan for me."

Lin Yanran smiled and nodded, then took the ancient book from Wenmei's hand and handed it over, saying, "This is a gift from your cousin Heng. However, your cousin Heng couldn't get leave today. He will come to support you when you get married."

"My cousin's studies are more important, and besides, I appreciate his sentiments." Lin Jiangzhuo smiled and waved the ancient book in his hand, genuinely happy.

No one dislikes receiving gifts, and Lin Jiangzhuo considers himself just an ordinary person.

When Lin Yanran handed over the last box, Lin Jiangzhuo and the servants around her all gasped.

Lin Jiangzhuo asked tremblingly, "Auntie, you...you wouldn't have revealed all your family's wealth to me, would you?"

After Lin Jiangzhuo finished speaking, he quickly closed the lid and put the box back in Lin Yanran's hand. "I can't accept this."

Lin Yanran smiled and placed the money in Lin Jiangzhuo's hand again. "You underestimate your aunt's wealth. It's just a few silver notes and a small shop. Your aunt is giving it to you, so just keep it."

Lin Jiangzhuo knew her aunt meant well, so she accepted the gift, stood up, and bowed to her aunt, saying, "Thank you, Aunt!"

Lin Jiangzhuo was so engrossed in holding the box that she didn't want to let go. Her aunt had given her 20,000 taels of silver notes, enough for a shop in Cangming City. At that moment, Lin Jiangzhuo only had two words in her mind: she was rich.

Lin Yanran laughed and teased, "You are the eldest daughter of the Prince, and your grandmother is a princess. Your performance is too exaggerated."

Lin Jiangzhuo explained with a smile, "Aunt, you have no idea how generous you are. Although I am the eldest daughter of the Prince and my grandmother is the eldest princess."

But my grandmother didn't only have my father as her son, and my father didn't only have me as his daughter.

My father and second uncle haven't separated their household yet, and everything in the mansion is governed by rules.

Of my most precious savings, my grandfather gave me 20,000, my grandmother gave me 20,000, my father gave me 10,000, and the rest was used to buy all sorts of things.

Lin Jiangzhuo was actually a little disappointed that her mother hadn't given her the money she needed for her dowry. It wasn't that Lin Jiangzhuo valued money; she just wanted to compete with her younger brothers for their mother's love.

But clearly, Han didn't lack anything from Lin Jiangzhuo on a daily basis, but she kept her money and shops for her son.

More importantly, in Han's mind, her daughter already had more wealth than many daughters of princes, thanks to the many good things her daughters had received.

There's no need for the daughter to compete with her brothers for the family fortune anymore.

Perhaps people of this era wouldn't understand what Lin Jiangzhuo was trying to express, but Lin Yanran understood immediately. She reached out and hugged Lin Jiangzhuo.

"After you get married, if you suffer any grievances that you can't tell your parents, send someone to find your aunt. Your aunt will support you."

Lin Jiangzhu nodded heavily in Lin Yanran's arms. She really wanted to be her aunt's daughter-in-law. She liked that her aunt only favored her.

Lin Jiangzhuo sighed inwardly, "Alas, it's all because my cousin Xuan was born too late."

Finally, Lin Yanran took out a set of jewelry and placed it in front of Lin Jiangzhuo. "This is the dowry your aunt is giving you on the surface. Keep the money and the shop safe. They will be your financial backing in the future."

Lin Yanran knew that women in this era also displayed their makeup in public to show how favored they were in their families, so she had made plans in advance.

Lin Jiangzhuo was about to cry. "Auntie..."

Seeing this, Lin Yanran quickly tried to lighten the mood, "Don't cry, or your grandmother and the others will think I'm bullying you! Auntie doesn't bully children."

Lin Jiangzhuo held Lin Yanran tightly, refusing to let go, "Auntie would never bully me!"

Afterwards, Lin Yanran and Lin Jiangzhuo chatted intimately for a while until Lin Yanran's sister-in-law, Han, arrived. Only then did Lin Yanran leave Lin Jiangzhuo's courtyard and go to Lin Fuma's front yard for some peace and quiet.

After all, all the guests today are women, so the Princess's quarters won't be quiet.

As soon as Han saw Lin Yanran off, she couldn't wait to ask Lin Jiangzhuo, "What did your aunt give you?"

Lin Jiangzhuo truthfully said that he also hoped that when his cousins ​​got married, his mother would give them a gift in return: "a set of jewelry, 20,000 taels of silver notes, and a shop in Cangming City."

Mrs. Han's mouth dropped open in surprise, and she chuckled, "Your aunt is really generous! She really dotes on you! I wish your aunt was this good to your two younger brothers! But it's a good thing your aunt doesn't have a daughter, otherwise your father and I wouldn't be able to repay her..."

The more Han spoke, the uglier Lin Jiangzhuo's expression became. Lin Jiangzhuo couldn't help but retort:

"If you treat your aunt's two cousins ​​well, your aunt will definitely treat her two younger brothers well too."

Han was slightly annoyed. "I'm not as wealthy as your aunt."

"Where are the silver notes and land deeds your aunt gave you? Take them out and give some to your younger brother. It's not easy for him to study and practice martial arts these days..."

Lin Jiangzhuo could hardly believe what she was hearing. Was this really the mother who had doted on her since she was a child?

Lin Jiangzhuo was a strong-willed girl. The sadder she was inside, the stronger she appeared on the outside. "Then I'll go ask my grandmother. If she tells me to give it to her, I will."

Upon hearing her daughter's words, Madam Han's expression immediately changed. "You child, you have to go to your grandmother for such a small matter. Your brother is always so good to you, what's wrong with spending some of your savings on him? You're so stingy..."

Lin Jiangzhuo suddenly stood up and was about to rush outside.

Han quickly grabbed Lin Jiangzhuo's arm, "I won't say anything more, okay?"

Lin Jiangzhuo sat down, looking so aggrieved she was almost in tears. If it weren't for the clansmen coming to help with the wedding preparations, she would have loved to cry her heart out under the covers.

Lin Jiangzhuo was very fortunate at this moment. In previous years, Han had treated her very well on the surface, and she had not discovered her mother's deep-seated favoritism over the years.

Now that she's realized she's getting married, she can finally enjoy the good life she's had for the past ten-odd years and avoid seeing the rest of her life.
