A whirlwind marriage: The real heiress marries a warlord.

When Lan Muhe returned, she first had a fight with Du Jia.

She returned to her own courtyard.

Her trusted maid was the wife of the steward, Sun Hui, and the couple were loyal to Lan Muhe.

"Miss, you shouldn't have argued with Madam," Sun Hui's wife advised her. "There are still many things left undone."

"I'm furious," Lan Muhe said.

Her trip was fraught with misfortune: first, her grandmother disappeared on the cruise ship, which terrified her. When she learned that her grandmother had disembarked, she knew it was her two sisters-in-law who were behind it all.

Lan Muhe dislikes them.

Once you enter the Lan family, being a wife is never easy. You have to be humble, obedient, and submissive.

Unfortunately, her mother was incompetent.

Lan Muhe wanted to teach them manners, and she still had her grandmother to rely on.

Why should the Lan family share their wealth with outsiders?

Her mother never cared, and Lan Muhe grew increasingly angry with her.

The port city was quite fun. Her father gave her money, and she stayed in excellent hotels and bought all sorts of trendy things.

The Su family's relatives even took the initiative to befriend her and took her out to play.

Tired of playing, Lan Muhe decided to return home. She sent a telegram to her grandmother, asking the family to send someone to pick her up.

She waited and waited, but no one answered; she then sent a telegram to her mother, but still received no response.

She went out and lost her grandmother. She came back alone, feeling humiliated and disrespected!

Moreover, when she went to the port city, her mother didn't give her a single penny, nor did she give her the pigeon blood gemstone earrings.

All these things piled up, and Lan Muhe's anger towards her reached its peak. Fortunately, when she returned, the second concubine of Governor Cheng sent someone to pick her up and even gave her some advice.

She knew that Du Rongfei had gotten into trouble.

But what does it have to do with her? As long as it doesn't harm her mother's wealth, it won't affect her.

"You don't need to argue with your wife; she has money," Sun Hui's wife added.

Lan Muhe: "You don't understand."

After each argument, her mother would feel guilty and give her even more things. The fiercer the argument, the more she would receive.

She was her mother's only daughter, and her mother was most afraid of her saying "You don't love me," a phrase that seemed like a curse.

The mother was determined to prove that she loved and cherished Lan Muhe, so she desperately pulled out the best things.

She hadn't performed well recently, and had repeated many of the same things over and over again over the years, so her mother didn't care much anymore. Therefore, the first thing she did after returning this time was to argue with her.

She also found a new direction.

"...I wasn't wrong. Whether it's Father or my brothers, they'll definitely side with me," Lan Muhe said. "Mother's biggest fear is being abandoned by everyone. What does she lack? She lacks people; her family line has ended."

Sun Hui's family quickly covered her mouth.

"Miss, you can't say that! Madam will be angry!"

"That's the truth," Lan Muhe said. "I brought gifts for my brothers, father, and grandmother this time."

She rolled over in bed, intending to rest for a while, change her clothes, and then go to her grandmother's side.

finally home.

It's nice outside, but it's not as comfortable as home.

"Miss, does the Second Madam want you to marry the Third Young Marshal?" Sun Hui's wife asked again.

"Of course she wanted to. A large portion of my mother's wealth will be given to me as my dowry; my father's position is secure, and my brothers are all successful. Cheng Tianyu and his mother are secretly delighted that he can marry me," Lan Muhe said.

"Then why did the second concubine seek out Miss Cousin again?"

"My uncle has gone missing. It was Du Zhuojun who asked Second Madam for help. She's desperate and grasping at straws right now," Lan Muhe said dismissively.

How much of the Du family's money will Du Zhuojun get?

If Du Rongfei dies, Du Zhuojun, as his daughter, will not be entitled to inherit the family business. According to the law and clan rules, Du Zhuojun's thirteen-year-old brother is the heir, and her half-brothers will also receive a large share.

Of course, the property would be entrusted to the Du clan for safekeeping before the eldest son came of age.

Once you join a clan, they'll find all sorts of ways to drain you dry; how can you ever pay them back?

Maybe Du Jia can take this opportunity to get some over there.

"Those assets all belong to my maternal grandfather. What does it have to do with Du Zhuojun? You're just a leech," Lan Muhe said.

Sun Hui's wife repeatedly reminded her to be careful.

Don't fall for the second concubine's tricks; you also need to appease the madam.

"You are indeed the biological daughter, but the other young mistresses are all shrewd and will try every trick in the book to please the madam. In the end, they might just squeeze you out."

"The eldest young mistress is back. She gave birth to a daughter, and the old lady is overjoyed. These past few days, she's been asking the eldest young master and mistress to bring the baby to have dinner with her," said Sun Hui's wife.

Lan Muhe suddenly sat up.

"Such a big thing, why didn't you tell me first?" she said angrily.

She couldn't wait any longer; she had to get to her grandmother's place right away.

When she arrived, her brother, sister-in-law, and others were all gathered around the old lady, trying to amuse her.

When she entered, the old lady was teasing Lan Zheng's daughter, her eyes narrowed into slits with laughter.

"My granddaughter is wonderful, so sweet and adorable. Of course, I still want a grandson," the old lady said with a smile, looking at Lan Zheng's wife, "Take good care of yourself, and we'll have another one next year."

Lan Zheng's wife, Qi Yan, responded softly.

She was very good at pleasing the old lady. There had been some conflicts in the past because she refused to have children, but now that she had children, she had regained the old lady's favor.

When Lan Muhe entered, everyone reacted indifferently.

It seems no one remembers that she was returning from a trip.

"Grandmother." Lan Muhe smiled, deliberately raising her voice.

The old lady looked up and saw her, and was very happy: "Muhe, come and see your eldest brother's daughter. You're an aunt again."

They didn't ask when she came back, nor did they care about her recent situation; they just told her to go see the children as soon as possible.

Lan Muhe's smile was a little stiff.

"Grandmother, I'm back from Hong Kong. Honestly, why didn't you tell me you got off halfway? You almost scared me to death," Lan Muhe said angrily.

The old lady felt a little bad.

Third Young Mistress Su Yuzhao replied with a smile, "Muhe, why are you blaming your grandmother as soon as you get back? Your grandmother was just having a good time, you're such a spoilsport."

Before Lan Muhe could refute, she added, "Grandmother gets seasick. Luckily, she didn't go with you, or she would have suffered."

She added, "I've sent you so many telegrams, Grandma misses you terribly, but you won't come back. You've finally decided to come back after playing until you're tired and bored. And as soon as you come back, you blame Grandma, saying you're too spoiled, Muhe."

As the old lady listened, she sensed something was amiss.

She also asked Lan Muhe, "Why did it take you so long to get back?"

Lan Muhe was greatly alarmed.

She had never been separated from the old lady since she was a child, and yet, in just a few months, she was so easily swayed.

"Third Brother, look at your young mistress!" Lan Muhe shouted angrily at the crowd.

Third Brother Lanxiu is not here.

Only my eldest and second eldest brothers are here.

Su Yuzhao still smiled: "Muhe, you didn't answer me, nor did you answer your grandmother. Your grandmother asked why you only just returned."

Lan Muhe was startled and immediately squeezed down next to the old lady to sit down: "Grandmother, I went to see a Western doctor for nursing care. If you feel unwell in the future, I can take care of you."

The old lady's expression softened, and her smile returned: "You're so thoughtful. Of all this family, you're the only one who always thinks of me."

He added, "You've been away for so long, you must have suffered, right?"

"Studying is inherently difficult, Grandmother. But for you, all the hardship is worth it," Lan Muhe said.

The old lady hugged her, showing her great pity.

She gained the old lady's favor effortlessly.

Everyone in this family loves her.

She then looked at her eldest and second eldest brothers: "I also brought gifts for you, and for Father as well."

"Thank you, Muhe, you're so kind," Lan Zheng replied.

Lan Jun didn't know what to say, so he opened his mouth and then closed it again.

"We are family," Lan Muhe said.

She thought to herself that her sisters-in-law were all outsiders.

"Muhe, who are you related to?" Su Yuzhao suddenly asked her.

Everyone's expression changed.

The old woman instantly flew into a rage: "What did you say?"

"Grandmother, I'm just asking Muhe. Who exactly is her relative in the Lan family?" Su Yuzhao said with a smile, "Please don't be angry."

"What did you hear?" the old woman said angrily.

"Who knows where the rumors started, she just took them seriously," Lan Muhe said. "If you think the Lan family is bad, you can leave."

Since Lanxiu isn't here right now, it doesn't matter what we say.

Lan Zheng's smile faded.

"My third sister-in-law is the legitimate wife of the Lan family. Mu He's words are excessive," Lan Zheng said.

The old lady said, "It was Yuzhao who said the offensive things first."

"Grandmother, my third sister-in-law is just asking. I also want to ask Muhe, who are you related to?" Lan Zheng said sternly.

The old lady looked at her grandson, her hand trembling slightly.
