“That’s hard to say.” Yang Wanning replied without hesitation.

Although she couldn’t say that she was completely clear about the Yang family’s financial situation, she still had some understanding. 70% of the Yang family’s expenses came from her mother’s dowry.

The Yang family had only been established for just a little over ten years, so their foundation was relatively thin.

Preparing a decent dowry without touching her mother’s dowry was impossible.

What would happen to her and her brother if they removed a significant share?

They would not fool her like they had in her previous life. Back then, they had spent her mother’s dowry and abused her child in various ways.

“You…” Mrs. Cui wanted to say something, but Yang s.h.i.+cheng interrupted her with a roar, “Enough; what are you all arguing about? You two sisters are both secondary consorts, so we will provide the same dowry.”

“I hope so.” Yang Wanning looked at them with distrust, then turned around and returned to her courtyard.

“Look at how her mother teaches her children. Is this how you should talk to your elders?” Madam Cui looked at her back and scolded loudly.

Yang Wanning ignored them and continued walking forward.

Yang s.h.i.+cheng was also angry, but he did not want to let the servants see him as a joke. Otherwise, how could he continue to serve the imperial court if word got out?

After that, he quickly said, “Alright, all of you go back and discuss the dowry on your own. 1 have to go change my clothes and head to the bailiff’s station.”

After saying that, he hurriedly returned to his room.

Mrs. Cui and her daughter looked at each other and did not say anything else. They went back with Madam Cui to discuss the dowry.

At the same time, Mrs. Cui had also made up her mind to get rid of Yang Wanning. Otherwise, if they were to offer two expensive dowries, their family’s good days would come to an end.

After Yang Wanning returned, she asked her personal maid, Chun Xi, “Chun Xi, have you found Granny Qian?”

“I found her at the hot spring manor. She’s now in charge of raising chickens there.”

“As long as she’s safe for now, it’s fine. By the way, have you developed the grapevine I asked you to?”

“Yes, basically every courtyard has one of us. It’s just that it’s not easy to arrange one at the Old Master’s side.”

“Let’s not worry about him for now, and let’s deal with Mrs. Chui first, especially since they emptied the Yang family’s coffers to subsidize the Cui family.”

“Understood. I’ll keep an eye on this matter.”

“Mmm, tell everyone to be careful, especially regarding food. Make sure to check before eating.” After Yang Wanning finished speaking, she paused and asked, “Is Eldest Young Master returning to the residence tomorrow?”

“Yes, he’ll be here the day after tomorrow and the day after.”

“Alright, help me prepare some fine rice and fine noodles tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, 1 have to make some snacks to bring him to meet my cousin and cousin-in-law.”

“Yes,” Chun Xi replied.

Finally, Zhou Ying glanced at the Zhou residence. As expected, Zhou Jiaqing was covered in rashes and couldn’t rush to the manor. She was obediently nestled in her room, copywriting a book as punishment.

After Zhou Ying looked around, she noticed Gu Chengrui had returned. She quickly got up and asked, “Have you seen the Emperor?”

“No, he said he was too tired and had to postpone it.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he glanced around the room and asked softly, “Is the Emperor’s fainting related to you?”

Zhou Ying shook her head. “I’m not too sure. Maybe it’s because I’m too far away, so I couldn’t feel anything.

“But that could be the case. The timing is too coincidental.”

Gu Chengrui did not overthink it after hearing that. Instead, he asked, “How was your harvest today?”

Zhou Ying told him everything she had heard about the families, especially regarding the First and Fourth Princes; she told him in detail what the Emperor thought of them..
