The wicked wife is pregnant again and again, and she takes her whole family flying with her spatial

"Is it something important?"

Seeing that he didn't believe her, Yu Lian emphasized, "It's really important."

"Tell me, your mysterious behavior is making me feel uneasy."

Reflecting on her usual actions, Yu Lian felt that she was very wise as the head of the family.

"Have I ever used any coercive tactics at home? I just said a few words, and you're already so scared. It's really just about the kids' schooling. An'an has decided to go to school in Yuncheng, but I don't want the three younger kids to come with us, so..."

Before he could finish speaking, He Lin understood immediately. No wonder he hesitated for so long before finally saying it; he wanted to play the good cop.

"You're so inconsistent. Just two days ago you were telling me to get along well with the kids, and now you're making me the bad guy? Aren't you afraid that when I get old, the kids won't care about me, won't be close to me, and will call me a stinky old man?"

Yu Lian hesitated, "Although these two things are related, we need to learn to prioritize. You know they're all my brother's little shadows. Although they had a falling out a while ago, they're fine now. Manman asked me about it the other day, and I just brushed her off."

He Lin seized on the key point: "Isn't what you're doing just showing favoritism? Even if you think you can control the situation, aren't you afraid that when the children grow up and look back, they'll say you're biased? They may be young, but they know who's in charge in our family. Let's see what you do when they remember."

Yu Lian hadn't thought about this problem, but she assured the child wouldn't blame her.

"I made this decision after considering both sides. An'an has self-control, is smart and studies well, and can achieve something wherever he is. But the three younger ones are different. They are young, and you can tell that they don't like studying at all. My requirements are not high, I just want them to learn to read and write well at school and get a diploma. But if they come here with their older brother, they will not only not study well, but they will also not play well, and they will start clamoring to go back after a short time."

"Okay, I'll do as you say. But you have to be prepared for the three of them to throw a huge tantrum."

Yu Lian had barely managed to brush it off when she told her daughter that she would have to go to school separately from her brother, and that she would definitely throw a tantrum as He Lin had predicted. But for their future, she decided to be ruthless this time—though He Lin would play the ruthless role.

Back at the hotel, Yu Lian saw Xue Ci in person and, before he even noticed her, pulled He Lin around, asking, "Why didn't you tell me Xue Ci was here too?"

"Is he important?"

"Of course it's important. I spoke a few words with Jasmine, and she immediately went to make a phone call, telling Xue Ci to do the same as you. Will he accept that?"

"Oh, you mean the tubal ligation thing?"

"I have nothing else to fear besides this. Even if Xue Ci agrees, her family might not. If they find out that the root of the problem lies with me, I'll be the one to blame."

He Lin comforted him, "To be honest, based on my understanding of Uncle Xue's family, in some ways, our He family and theirs are the same. We both want a son to carry on the family line, otherwise we wouldn't be pressuring them to have a child. My sister doesn't have one simply because our family is close to the Xue family, Auntie treats Xinglan like a daughter, and Xinglan has promised to give birth in two years. Xue Ci, as the eldest brother, has an extra layer of protection. But the child hasn't been born yet, and we don't know if it's a boy or a girl. Plus, the Xue family is a century-old family in Xiangshi, so if it's not a boy, they'll have some objections. If Xue Ci has the abortion, you understand..."

He didn't mention the consequences, but Yu Lian already understood. So now Xue Ci had to lie no matter what—either to his wife or to his family.

Why did you two run away as soon as you saw me?

No sooner had she finished speaking than Xue Ci's voice came from not far behind her. Their eyes met, and they returned to normal a second later.

"No, we're going out to write a couple of postcards to a friend and send them out. Are you coming?"

Xue Ci clearly had no interest in these things: "If you're not going, then I'll go first."

After seeing Xue Ci off, the couple exchanged a knowing glance.

Since He Lin arrived, work efficiency has doubled, and the basic situation was stabilized in just two days. In the blink of an eye, the day for notarization arrived.

Just like last time, there were no changes in personnel or positions. It's just that the other side was more aggressive and disregarded everyone, including Yu Lian, whom they had been somewhat wary of last time.

"They probably feel emboldened because they finalized the laws regarding inheritance in the country these past three days. Stand behind me for a moment; I'm afraid they'll do anything for money."

Yu Lian stood to He Lin's side, where He Lin could protect her at any time.

"Everyone, please don't get too agitated. If you violate the rules of the manor, I have the right to expel you."

Hank stepped forward: "Miss Yu is now the de facto head of the manor and the hotel. The owner transferred the hotel to Miss Yu before his death, and it's all clearly written down in black and white. If there are any questions, Mr. Walter is here too, so everyone can ask him."

An elderly man with graying hair slowly emerged from the crowd. He was Samuel's most trusted confidant and the most famous and authoritative lawyer in the entire western continent. Upon seeing him, many people felt a sense of apprehension and unconsciously stepped back. This seemingly kind-faced but actually ruthless old man was someone no one dared to offend. Even the most distinguished people in the country would be wary of this veteran.

"Hank is right. This was a donation made by my client, Ms. Samuel, before her death. Anyone with objections can come to me."

No one dared to voice an objection, not even a groan. The council chamber fell silent in an instant.

After waiting for a while, Yu Lian stepped forward and said, "Gentlemen and ladies from the notary office, please sit in the middle."

She invited them to prominent positions. All eyes were now fixed on these individuals.

In front of everyone, Yu Lian stood up and walked to the group. She had only intended to give some brief instructions on the procedures, but she was falsely accused of bribery by others.

Yu Lian calmly said, "Alright, then I won't say anything more. And I'll walk to the place furthest away from you gentlemen and ladies."

After saying that, she left the center without looking back and walked to the edge, but a place where she could observe the whole thing.

"What do you think their expressions will be when they find out about this?"

Yu Lian glared at the man beside her: "Shut up, don't speak without my permission."

The couple's personalities were clearly discernible at this moment. Yu Lian was cautious and prudent in important matters; He Lin, having stood at a high position for so long, cared little for many things and spoke without restraint. Perhaps in this lifetime, he would only show caution and timidity in front of Yu Lian.

"Mmm..."

After waiting for a while, the notary office staff had a brief conversation.

"Gentlemen, please keep quiet. At your request, we have completed the liquidation of Ms. Samuel's estate. Mr. Walter, please take a seat. The distribution of Ms. Samuel's estate to the family is in accordance with the law. Do you have any objections?"

Although he was a notary public and belonged to the state, he could not escape Walter's influence.

"Of course, we will act in accordance with the law and regulations."

After receiving the old man's permission, the lady sitting in the middle stood up and announced loudly and clearly to the crowd: "Mrs. Samuel's estate—a collection of silk fabrics, a carriage, a small cabin by the lake..."

Listening further, there wasn't a single thing they found appealing.
