Chapter 185

Not long after, Su Mama knocked on the door of the small house.

Seeing that it was Su Mama, Ningshuang was surprised and happy, and hurriedly took Su Mama's hand and walked in.

Before entering the yard, she began to call, "Miss, look who's here!"

Qiao Nian heard Ningshuang's voice so happy, and was a little confused about who was coming, so she looked at the door.

She saw Su Mama wearing ordinary people's clothes, with the simplest bun, and a small bundle in her hand, and she immediately greeted her, "Why is Su Mama here?"

"I came to see the young lady." Su Mama smiled and said, "I want to bother the young lady for a few days, I hope the young lady doesn't mind."

Qiao Nian exclaimed repeatedly, "How could I mind! I'm so happy!"

As he said, Qiao Nian went to meet Su Mama in the house.

She poured a glass of water for Madam Su and asked, "Madam, are you going to retire and return home in this outfit?"

Madam Su took the water, took a sip, and said, "Yes, I wanted to leave a month ago, but later I thought it would not be too late to leave after the old lady's 57th funeral. I would not feel at ease if someone else did it."

Hearing this, Qiao Nian couldn't help showing some guilt on her face.

Since she buried her grandmother, she has never worshipped her grandmother again, which is really unfilial.

Su Mama saw what Qiao Nian was thinking, and sighed, "This person! Filial piety when alive is true filial piety, and those after death are just for the living to see! Don't worry, the old lady knows that the young lady is the most obedient and filial!"

Hearing this, Qiao Nian's mouth just raised a bitter smile, she nodded, and changed the subject, "Then, Mama, how long do you plan to stay?"

"Live until the young lady gets married." Su Mama answered readily, with a smile on her face, but in her slightly turbid eyes, there was a kind of kindness that Qiao Nian was most familiar with.

Exactly the same as the old lady.

I only heard Su Mama say, "I know that the young lady only has Ningshuang, a maid, so I thought of coming to help, and by the way, I also want to show the old lady how the young lady looks in her wedding dress!"

This was the old lady's biggest wish before her death.

Since the old lady didn't see it, then, she saw it for the old lady!

One sentence made Qiao Nian's eyes red.

The corners of her mouth that had been slightly raised were now completely flattened, "Mammy, I..."

The tears finally fell.

Mammy Su looked at her and also burst into tears. She hurriedly stood up and walked to Qiao Nian's side to wipe her tears, "Okay, okay, getting married is a happy thing, isn't it? By the way, I'll tell you one more thing to make you happy."

Qiao Nian sniffed and looked at Mammy Su, "What's the matter?"

"Before I came here, I told the Marquis and the Madam that the old lady had given all the dowry to the young lady. I saw that the Marquis and Madam Lin's faces were suddenly ugly, as if they were run over by the wheels of a carriage!"

Mammy Su's description really made Qiao Nian laugh.

Grandmother's dowry was so much, even if Mammy Su didn't say it, the Marquis's Mansion would sooner or later find out about her.

Now that I learned from Mammy Su, it saved a lot of trouble.

Seeing Qiao Nian laughing so heartlessly, Nanny Su was worried and couldn't help but warn, "Miss, those dowries are all left for you by the old lady. You must not give them to others, understand?"

Listening to Nanny Su's words, Qiao Nian seemed to realize something, "Mammy, are you worried that the Marquis' Mansion will come to ask for it back?"

Mammy Su nodded slightly, "The Marquis' Mansion can't come up with anything decent to support the second young lady!"

Although, Nanny Su didn't want to think of the Marquis' Mansion in such a bad way.

But it's better to warn Qiao Nian first.

Qiao Nian held Su Ma's hand and said solemnly, "Ma'am, don't worry. What my grandmother gave me is mine. No matter who asks for it, I won't give it to them."

After hearing this, Su Ma nodded with satisfaction, "Then, Ma'am will start to help you tomorrow and make sure you get married in style!"

Ning Shuang, who had been standing aside and had no say, spoke hurriedly, "I'll help too! I'm the young lady's dowry maid, so I have to help too!"

Su Ma couldn't help laughing, "Yes, yes, you are the most valuable dowry of your young lady!"

Hearing this, Ning Shuang blushed for a moment, but her face was full of pride.

But she secretly thought in her heart that it would be great if she could accompany her young lady like Su Ma accompanied the old lady!

That night, at the Marquis' Mansion.

Marquis Lin and Madam Lin sat around the table, looking at the account book of the Marquis' Mansion again and again.

Lord Lin was full of worry, "What should I do? There is only this little money left in the mansion, how can I buy a decent dowry?"

Mrs. Lin's words were full of complaints, "How could I know that mother would give all the dowry to Nian Nian? Although mother really loves her, there is a difference between relatives. Yuan'er is the legitimate daughter of our mansion. Even if she is old and confused, she can't give all the dowry to Nian Nian!"

Lord Lin was a little annoyed for a while, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

How can a child say that the elder is old and confused?

But Mrs. Lin didn't mean that at all, "I didn't really call mother old and confused! Why are you angry with me? Now there is only this little money in the mansion, and Yuan'er's wedding is approaching, what should you do?"

Marquis Lin also knew that he was a little impatient just now. He frowned and sighed, "What can I do? Not to mention it has been all these years. Even when my father was alive, my mother was the only one who supported the house. Come down! I didn’t expect that she could give all the dowry to an outsider while my own son is still alive!”

After saying this, Mr. Lin's eyes moved slightly. He couldn't help but look at Mrs. Lin and lowered his voice deliberately, "If not, why don't you go talk to Nian Nian?"

Mrs. Lin suddenly stood up from her chair as if facing a formidable enemy, "What can I say? Let her share some of the dowry and give it to Yuan'er? I can't do such a shameless thing!"

After thinking about it, she added, "There is still something valuable in my dowry, why not..."

"No!" Mr. Lin refused in a deep voice, "When Yuan'er gets married, Ye'er will also have to say goodbye. I can't think of not being able to get a decent betrothal gift by then, right?"

Wouldn't that be more embarrassing to the Hou Mansion?

Mrs. Lin also felt that what Marquis Lin said was reasonable, and she immediately said with a sad face, "Then what do you think we should do?"

Marquis Lin waved his hands a little irritably, "That's all, I'll figure it out myself. Just take good care of Yuan'er and don't let her know that the government can't get any money, lest she become worried and swollen her eyes from crying again. Wouldn’t it be ugly to get married then?”

Mrs. Lin nodded, but for some reason, "Yuan'er said that she wants to go to the street tomorrow to pick out some jewelry that can be used as a dowry."

Mr. Lin frowned and nodded helplessly, "Go ahead! Just use your discretion!"

"Hey!" Mrs. Lin responded, but her face was still extremely ugly.
