Qian Dashan chimed in, saying, âOnce youâre back at the Marquis Mansion, you can leave the upkeep of the house to Uncleâs family. Weâll make sure itâs regularly maintained and cleaned, all at no cost to you. We wonât ever ask for a single penny.â
Su Ping retorted with a dismissive snort, âCertainly not necessary. We can manage our house on our own.â
In truth, they had no intention of returning to the Marquis Mansion.
Qian Dashanâs smile widened. âIâm no stranger here, what are you implying?â
In reality, his concern was that the Su Family might hand over the house to Qian Shanmin, potentially leading to the fields and yam plots in the mountains also falling under Qian Shanminâs control.
Qian Dashan and the others had their sights set on both the fields and the yam plots.
Before they could voice their thoughts, he preempted them, âItâs premature to discuss this now. We can delve into this matter when we relocate to the capital.â
Ms. Lin was taken aback. âWhat do you mean? Are you saying you wonât be heading to the capital?â
Qian Dashan shot her a stern look. âHow can they not go to the capital? One residence is akin to the heavens, while the other is mere earth.â
âFurthermore, why should the past grudges burden the current generation?â
Su Bin cast a cold glance at them. âEven if we do decide to move later on, weâll entrust the house to someone trustworthy. No need to inquire further, you wonât be considered.â
Flushed with embarrassment, Qian Dashan and his wife left with their mother, cautious not to provoke Su Bin.
Qin Zhenzhen chuckled inwardly â a problem that could be solved with a single sentence.
News of Su Lanâs familyâs connection to the Marquis Mansion quickly circulated among the nearby villages.
Upon hearing this news, Wang Yizhiâs family was utterly astonished â they had unwittingly let go of a significant opportunity!
Had Wang Yizhi not divorced Su Lan, the entire family could have relished a life in the capital! n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Regret gnawed at the whole family, prompting them to consider the possibility of rectifying the situation. Consequently, they dispatched their youngest son to fetch Wang Yizhi back home.
When the news reached Wang Yizhi, he was left dumbfounded.
What a ridiculous twist of fate!
Could his luck be any worse?
He had parted ways with Su Lan in pursuit of money, only to discover that she had ascended to the position of Lady at the Marquis Mansion â a transformation akin to a phoenix rising from the ashes.
In comparison, his wifeâs well-off family was nothing more than mosquitoes compared to the grandeur of the Marquis Mansion.
Wang Yizhiâs brother offered him a gentle reminder. âBrother, Mom and Dad want you to reconcile with Elder Sister-in-law.â
âFine. â
With gritted teeth, Wang Yizhi made his resolution. For the sake of wealth, influence, and his future prospects, he deemed it worthwhile to implore Su Lan for forgiveness.
He hadnât yet formalized his union with his well-fed wife, and she wasnât bearing his child either.
Rather than being drained by his robust wife, he might as well kneel before Su
Lan and plead. After all, he and Su Lan shared a daughter, and their ties were still intact. Perhaps, in consideration of their daughterâs father, Su Lan might
reconsider.
On the third morning following the Old Marquisâs arrival, Wang Yizhi, who had just returned from the prefecture, laden with numerous gifts, arrived in Qian Village accompanied by his parents.
Even on their journey, they were recognized by passersby.
âLook, isnât that Su Lanâs ex-husband? And are those her former in-laws?â âYes, why are they here?â
âIt appears theyâre seeking reconciliation. Given that theyâve learned about Su Lanâs position as a lady in the Marquis Mansion, theyâre probably aiming to implore her forgiveness and reunite.â âDo you reckon Su Lan would acquiesce?â
âI highly doubt it.â
âMe tooâ
