Time Travel: The Noble Family-Chapter 1341 - 550: Pleading

Yuehuan thought of Yueyao’s words and called for Tingyuan. She asked Tingyuan to transfer all the properties under her name to Chenghong.

Tingyuan was very surprised: "Sister, how do you have so many assets?" A thousand acres of fertile land, two shops, a house, these assets together are worth tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Yuehuan did not hide from Tingyuan and said: "Even before the Qian Family incident, I had a premonition that something would happen, so I saved some money with Second Sister and Third Sister, and also bought some things privately. After I left, Second Sister and Third Sister returned all the money to me. Sister used this money to acquire these properties." Acquiring property in the Capital City is no easy task. The farmlands were purchased thanks to Xiang Wei’s help, and as for the two shops, their locations are average. But no matter what, with these properties, as long as Chenghong doesn’t squander them in the future, he will not worry about food and clothing for life.

Tingyuan did not quite agree with Yuehuan’s decision: "Sister, keep half as a dowry!" Putting everything under Chenghong’s name without leaving any dowry would make others look down on her.

Yuehuan shook her head and said: "No need." What should be bought will be bought, but she did not plan to include these properties in the dowry. Thinking back, when she got married, the dowry was not small, and what happened? It was all confiscated by the government.

When Xiang Wei came to visit Yuehuan, she was very surprised: "You don’t want the shop shares anymore? Actually, you didn’t have to do that; even if you’re not in the Capital City, we won’t short you on this money."

Yuehuan shook her head and said: "I’m embarrassed to take dividends every year without doing anything. Xiang Wei, actually I have an idea. When he and I go to the appointment, I plan to open a Wei Ji Dessert Shop as well. What do you think?" Zeng Dazhuang, though merely a fourth-rank military general in the Capital City, would have a different status once on assignment. By then, opening a dessert shop, no one would dare cause trouble.

Xiang Wei saw that Yuehuan already had a plan and didn’t say much: "Since you have a plan, I won’t insist, but I need to discuss this with Madam. Don’t say you’re giving the shares to Madam; you know her character—she wouldn’t take advantage of you." With someone like Yueyao, she wouldn’t mind others taking advantage of her, but she’d feel uncomfortable if it were the other way around, as if she had done something wrong.

Yuehuan understood Yueyao’s character and nodded: "Okay." Speaking of which, she had always been taken care of by Yueyao and owed her a lot.

Yueyao knew Yuehuan didn’t want any shares in the dessert shop and wasn’t surprised. Zeng Dazhuang’s hometown was in the Northwest, and although there was no certainty about his external post, he would definitely return to the Northwest to settle when old: "Have the accounting room calculate how much the thirty percent share is worth in silver and send the silver to her."

Upon hearing Yueyao’s analysis, Xiang Wei smiled and said: "How do you know they’ll definitely go to the Northwest in the future? Maybe they’ll settle in the Capital City when they’re older." For the sake of their children’s future, they might end up staying in the Capital City.

Yueyao laughed and then said: "That’s not impossible, but that’s something two or three decades down the line. Give her the silver; how Yuehuan handles it is her business." For their children’s sake, they might indeed settle in the Capital City. But such decisions are up to Zeng Dazhuang.

Yueyao was busy and didn’t have time to help. However, Zhou Yue and Madam Shao managed everything smoothly, and even Yuebing came to visit Yuehuan several times.

Xin Yu, after seeing Yuebing off, looked at the satin Yuebing left behind and said: "Master, Second Great Aunt never comes empty-handed. Why has Second Great Aunt become so generous?"

Yuehuan smiled and said: "Just put it away." She had a rough idea why Yuebing came. She accepted the gifts, but as for other matters, she’d deal with them later.

After a while, a maid came in saying that Maternal Aunt Su had come.

Yuehuan stood up and said: "Invite Auntie in!" When she left the Capital City with Zeng Dazhuang, she would no longer have to face the Lian family or Maternal Aunt Su.

Maternal Aunt Su was unwilling to agree to this marriage, but she had no say in it. Now that things were settled, she came over to see Yuehuan. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Yuehuan really had nothing to say to Maternal Aunt Su. Since her imprisonment, she had seen through many things. Other than Tingyuan, her feelings towards the Lian family were indifferent, including towards Maternal Aunt Su.

Maternal Aunt Su, with reddened eyes, handed the box that the maid was holding to Yuehuan: "This is Mother’s token of goodwill; keep it. A woman still needs some things to rely on."
