The proportion was not enough to see the anti-theft badge,

It would return to normal after 24 hours,

It could be seen ~

Mother Lin was there.

She had just met Mother Lin not long ago. How could she be so stupid as to forget her future boss?

Fortunately, after mother Lin got into the carriage,

She did not show the slightest displeasure at her actions today.

The specifications of the carriage were strictly regulated,

The carriage used by an unmarried concubine's daughter like Jia Su was very simple and narrow, even though she deliberately gave the most comfortable seat to mother Lin,

She also tried her best to reduce the space it occupied,

She still could not avoid physical contact between the two of them.

Jia Su was fine,

But mother Lin had never sat in such a small carriage with anyone,

She felt uncomfortable all over.

After a while, mother Lin got used to it,

Then she smiled at Jia Su. "Third Miss, are you here to look for my son today?"

Jia Su looked calm on the surface,

But in her heart, she was crazily shouting, "I'm here, I'm here."

She nodded,

She held her breath, and her face quickly turned red. "Because I heard that eldest sister and second sister opened a cosmetics shop,

So I wanted to go and take a look.

I happened to pass by the Lin family,

So I wanted to greet young master Lin. "

But she didn't expect that Lin Ruhai wasn't at home.

After saying that, her eyes were filled with disappointment.

Mother Lin was not unhappy because Jia Su cared about Lin Ruhai "without hiding her concern for Lin Ruhai,"

On the contrary, she was very happy.

However, she quickly frowned. As a mother,

Discovering that her future daughter-in-law had deep feelings for her son was naturally worth being happy.

But her son made his own daughter-in-law sad,

Mother Lin couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

After all, she had also been through this kind of time,

She could especially understand Jia Su's feelings.

She simply pulled Jia Su's hand and patted it. "Third Miss, don't blame me. When Ruhai comes back, I will definitely teach him. He is about to be engaged, so he can't run around all day."

Jia Su lowered her head and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito, "Okay."

Mother Lin only thought that she was shy, so she patted her hand to comfort her.

When she learned that the marriage candidate had been changed to a concubine's daughter, mother Lin was naturally unwilling at first. Even when she learned that her son was very satisfied with his fiancée, she couldn't help but worry.

He wasn't worried about the upbringing of a concubine's daughter.

She was still alive. She could teach the stewards and directors. She believed that she could teach them better than Madam Jia.

But she was worried about Jia Su's temperament.

As the daughter of the first wife, how could she not know the temperament of her concubine-born sisters?

Most of them weren't very likable.

Before she got married, she had learned from her mother that most of those concubines were raised by the matriarchs in order to make it easier to control their concubine daughters after they got married.

The Lin family didn't have many children, so Mother Lin didn't have the opportunity to practice. However, she had seen many concubine-born daughters of large families when she went out to socialize over the years. She only felt that they weren't much different from her concubine-born sisters and couldn't bear the heavy responsibility of being the head of the family.

Therefore, when she heard the gatekeeper announce that a Miss Jia had arrived, she disregarded etiquette and even rode in the same carriage as the Third Miss Jia.

The results of the test were pretty good. He didn't know anything else, but the Third Miss of the Jia family was at least natural and unrestrained. She wasn't a coward.

Jia Su also had her son's favor, so Mother Lin naturally became more and more satisfied with her.

Only then did she remember Jia Su's words. She couldn't help but ask, "Your eldest sister and second sister opened a cosmetics shop?

Do they have any unique recipes? "

Jia Su was stunned. She looked at Mother Lin, "Auntie, don't you think that this merchant business …"

Without waiting for Jia Su to finish, Mother Lin smiled and waved her hand, "What's wrong with that?

In the future, when you get married, you'll know. Although the Lin family is a scholarly family, Gusu's hometown has bought a lot of land and shops. Although the Lin family's business isn't as big as those merchants', it's still one of the top businesses in Gusu City. "

She seemed to be worried that Jia Su would look down on the merchants, so she earnestly taught, "Although this merchant business has been criticized by scholars, if you look carefully, don't those scholars have any business at all?

If that's the case, how can their little salary support a large family? "

"They just put the shops under the names of the servants of Fang Liang, or let the clansmen of the five servers help them manage the business to prevent the censors from impeaching them."

Jia Su's expression immediately showed that she had learned something.

Mother Lin felt that Jia Su was smart. She understood with just a hint, so she was even more satisfied with her.

Only then did Jia Su talk about the cosmetics shop, "This cosmetics shop was opened by me, Eldest Sister, and Second Sister with money. There are also many secret recipes."

"Oh?" Mother Lin became spirited.

Because Jia Su wanted to get closer, the two talked and laughed along the way, and their relationship improved a lot.

However, when the carriage arrived at the street where the cosmetics shop was located, the carriage suddenly stopped.

"What's going on?" Mother Lin looked out of the carriage window and saw that the street was blocked by carriages and people.

The people were still fine, as they could always find a way to leave.

However, the carriage was huge, so after the road was blocked, they couldn't go any further.

Jia Su hurriedly sent Cui Yan to inquire about the situation.

After a while, Cui Yan came back, looking absent-minded.

Chi Xia looked at her and slapped her head, "Cui Yan, Old Madam and Young Miss are still waiting for your reply!"

Cui Yan quickly came back to her senses, "Reporting to Old Madam and Young Miss, this servant just went to the front to inquire and found out that most of these carriages belong to the madams and young misses of the capital.

They are all here to support the cosmetics shop. "

Jia Su blinked, "The cosmetics shop?" Wasn't her shop called the cosmetics shop?

Cui Yan quickly nodded, "Because other than the madams and young misses who came personally, there were also many customers who only sent their servant girls and manservants to buy rouge and face powder. The assistants of the cosmetics shop are too busy. The rouge and face powder have been sold out twice, so we need to get more from the warehouse. That's why there are so many carriages and people on the street."

Even though Jia Su had always been confident about the sales of the cosmetics shop, she was still a little confused at this time. Wasn't this business too good?

Mother Lin looked at Jia Su with a different kind of light in her eyes.

Just a cosmetics shop could make so much money. Even if the young couple had several children in the future, they wouldn't have to worry about not having enough property to share.

Jia Su turned around and happened to meet Mother Lin's eyes. Her heart trembled, "Auntie?"

However, the Young Miss would never let unimportant things disturb her sleep. If she didn't sleep now, then something important must be happening in a while.

Sure enough, after about an hour, the servant girl who delivered the message ran in, "Third Young Miss, Concubine Hu sent someone to invite you over. She said she missed you."

Jia Su got up and patted the residue off her hands, "Let's go."

Concubine Hu was a beauty who was over thirty years old but maintained herself like a young lady in her early twenties. It couldn't be said that she was still charming because this was the most attractive time of her life.

She was mature and seductive, but also had a coldness that could see through the world. It made people unable to move their eyes away from her.

If this was the modern era, with her age and appearance, she would definitely attract a lot of wild bees and rotten butterflies.

However, in ancient times, Concubine Hu hadn't slept with Jia Daishan since she turned twenty-five years old.

This was because in the eyes of the ancient people, Concubine Hu was already old and had passed the best age to have children.

"Concubine." Jia Su walked over to Concubine Hu and sat down.

Chi Xia stood next to them and was surprised to find that not only did the mother and daughter look alike, but even their temperaments were shockingly similar.

Concubine Hu glanced at Jia Su and turned the string of beads in her hand, "Your father came to see me this afternoon."

Jia Su nodded, "I guessed it."

"You also know why he came to see me?" Concubine Hu looked at Jia Su with a complicated expression.

Jia Su didn't notice, or perhaps she did notice but didn't care, "Because they finally found out that their daughter has other uses other than marriage.

But at the same time, they also found out that I have no feelings for Rongguo Province and am unwilling to work for Rongguo Province. "

Therefore, Concubine Hu became the breakthrough point that Duke Rongguo had chosen.

After all, in Jia Min's memory, Jia Su quickly took Concubine Hu out of Rongguo Province after she gained a firm foothold in Dingnan Houfu.

This showed that she at least cared about Concubine Hu.

Jia Su really did care about her.

Whether it was as a bystander when she watched A Dream of the Red Chamber or as a person who experienced it personally, Jia Su didn't have a good impression of Rongguo Province.

As the former, she didn't like the attitude of the people in Rongguo Province. As the latter, because of the identity of the original owner, she was naturally hostile to the mistress of Rongguo Province. Therefore, she was restricted in all aspects and didn't live as freely as she wanted.

Even if she liked to stay at home, there was a big difference between being forced to stay at home and taking the initiative to stay at home.

But because of Concubine Hu, she never thought of using some special method to leave Rongguo Province early. Instead, she thought that in the future, she could openly take Concubine Hu out to enjoy life, which could also be considered as repaying the original owner.

If Concubine Hu really sided with Rongguo Province, even if she didn't want to, she would still help them.

Concubine Hu giggled, her eyes full of joy: "My son really has the ability to make that old man Jia Daishan think highly of you."

Jia Su's eyes flashed with a trace of astonishment. The original owner's biological mother's mental state wasn't right.

"Jia Su, if you still want to recognize me as your concubine, then firmly remember my words in the bottom of your heart." Her eyes flashed with a trace of madness: "Even if I'm used by that old man to threaten you, you can't help Rongguo Province. If you disobey, I'll immediately die in front of you!"

Chi Xia and Cui Yan both shivered at the same time. They looked at each other, their eyes full of distress and worry for Jia Su.

However, Jia Su had seen many crazy people in her previous life, so she didn't show the slightest bit of discomfort: "I'll follow mother's instructions."

As soon as the word 'mother' came out, Jia Su sensitively felt Concubine Hu's whole body tremble.

She sighed, thought for a moment, and asked: "Can this daughter know why mother is so … hostile to Rongguo Province?"

Concubine Hu's face was full of resistance: "You don't have to …"

"If one day father uses this as an excuse to fabricate facts to deceive me, then what should I do?" Jia Su asked softly.

Jia Min had a name when she was born, but the three concubine daughters' names were only given to them on the eve of their eldest sister's engagement.

Jia Su even suspected that if Jia Min hadn't been named after Jia Xie's brothers, the other concubine daughters would probably only have a pet name until they got married.

Moreover, since the original owner was born, the number of times she had seen Jia Daishan could be counted with one hand. Did she expect that Jia Daishan would have feelings for a daughter that he had never cared about?

If he really had to use her, who could guarantee that Jia Daishan wouldn't do this?

Concubine Hu's face was full of confusion. After a long time, she finally thought it through and said: "I'll tell you."

"You originally had a younger brother." As soon as she opened her mouth, Concubine Hu dropped a bomb.

"I was originally a concubine of that old ignorant man Jia Daishan's colleague. But because I danced at the banquet, that old ignorant man took a few more glances at me, so I was given to him by my original master."

This was the first level of hatred.

Even if she was a concubine that could be bought and sold, Concubine Hu didn't want to be "a woman serving two husbands", which would be criticized by others.

"At first, I didn't want to be his concubine, but Jia Shi couldn't bear to see that old ignorant man thinking about me every day, so she ordered people to drug me. The old ignorant man saw that something was wrong, but he didn't care and still had sex with me."

This was the second level of hatred.

"I was stupid at that time. I only remembered to hate Jia Shi. Every day, I caused trouble. Because Jia Shi targeted me, I still gave birth to you. I became more and more arrogant. I almost stepped on Jia Shi's face under my feet with the old ignorant man's power. After three or four years, the old ignorant man finally got tired and grounded me.

I didn't expect that when I was grounded, I found out that I was pregnant again. But it was too late. The people that Jia Shi placed around me intercepted the news I sent out and secretly murdered my child. "

This was the third level of hatred that almost defeated her.

Concubine Hu sneered: "I'm afraid that old ignorant man still doesn't know how many of his sons died in the hands of his virtuous wife."

Jia Su frowned and said calmly: "Mother, do you hate Jia Shi?

Do you need your daughter to avenge you? "

"In the beginning, I naturally hated Lady Jia Shi, but …" Concubine Hu turned her head and looked at Jia Shu with a smile that was not a smile. "Seeing that I gave birth to you after carrying you for ten months, concubine mother will take this opportunity to advise you. Don't put your true heart on a man. The conflicts and disputes in the inner court all start from men."

Did she hate Jia Shi?

Of course, she hated her!

But she hated Jia Daishan even more!

After all these years, she had already thought it through. As a concubine, she naturally stood on the opposite side of Jia Shi. Jia Shi did anything to her as a matter of course.

What's more, with her arrogant attitude at that time, she couldn't guarantee that if she gave birth to her son, she wouldn't completely confront Jia Shi for her son.

She hated Jia Shi, but she could understand Jia Shi.

But she couldn't forgive Jia Daishan who brought her to Rongguo Province and couldn't even protect his own son.

Jia Su calmly lowered her head: "Your daughter will remember."

Concubine Hu's lips wriggled as if she had something to say. But in the end, she only spat out one sentence: "If there's nothing else, leave my courtyard. I should rest."

Jia Su got the information she wanted to know and left without hesitation.

But when she reached the door, she stood still and said seriously: "Mother, wait for me to take you out of Rongguo Province."

After that, she left Concubine Hu's courtyard without looking back.

Until Jia Su couldn't be seen, Concubine Hu looked down at the string of beads in her hand. She hesitated for a while, but in the end, she didn't crush the fake beads that hid the poison and medicine.

Back in the house, Cui Yan couldn't wait to ask: "Miss, why did Concubine Hu …"

Jia Su turned back with a complicated look: "She just didn't know how to express it."

Concubine Hu's hatred for Rongguo Province was real. But if she really didn't care about the original owner of the body, she could turn Rongguo Province upside down with that hatred.

After all, the barefooted were not afraid of those with shoes.

She chose to live in seclusion and stay away from the original owner because she wanted the original owner to marry into a good family when she grew up.

It was hard for Jia Shu to imagine what kind of crazy things Concubine Hu would do after she learned of her daughter's death and lost her last worry.

"But Miss, Concubine Hu actually advised you not to give your heart to the future son-in-law …"

Chi Xia was anxious. How could she do that?

If Miss really did that, how could she be a loving couple with the future son-in-law?

Jia Su said faintly: "I never planned to give my heart to a man." Now, she was just more determined.

The person she was going to marry in the future was Lin Ruhai.

The Lin family didn't have many children, so Jia Min only gave birth to Daiyu and a son when she was in her thirties. Later on, they didn't have any children. In her previous life, it wasn't as if she hadn't found someone to take care of her physical needs. After so many years, there were always times when she didn't take proper protective measures.

Jia Su didn't think she could get pregnant and have children so early.

In the original work, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min were a loving couple. Because they didn't have children, they also took in several concubines. If she couldn't get pregnant early, she believed that Lin Ruhai would have done the same.

She couldn't understand the ancient people's obsession with having children.

However, Jia Su was able to recognize reality, so she didn't plan on liking Lin Ruhai.

This way, when Lin Ruhai took in concubines in the future because he didn't have children, she wouldn't lose control and divorce him or kick him out of anger.

Cui Yan and Chi Xia were stunned.

If not for this, she couldn't think of why Jia Su suddenly wanted to do business and even wanted them to help.

Jia Su also knew that it would be difficult for her to get the approval of her two stepsisters, but …

"Sisters, don't tell me you don't have a single shop in your dowry?"

No one was a fool. Who didn't know about making money by doing business?

Even if they didn't dare to act recklessly because of rumors, would these people at the top of society easily give up the benefits that were at their fingertips?

Jia Gu was stunned. Of course, she had more than one shop.

However, before Jia Su pointed it out, she never thought that these shops were actually a kind of business and might be despised by others. "But, isn't everyone doing this?"

Which noble girl in the capital didn't bring a few shops as dowry when she got married?

"Isn't running a dowry shop a business?"

Jia Su looked at her two stepsisters seriously. "Moreover, the shops in your hands can't always be the same as the ones in your dowry, right?

After all these years, haven't you bought a few more to earn some private savings? "

They didn't need to answer. Jia Su knew the answer herself.

Jia Zhi was more decisive. She immediately said, "Third Sister, what kind of business are you planning to do?" As she spoke, her gaze fell on the boy beside her. Her eyes were obscure.

Jia Su narrowed her eyes and raised her hand to signal to Chi Xia.

Chi Xia understood tacitly. She immediately called a few maidservants to take the four children to the courtyard to play.

After they left, Jia Su said, "Rouge and face powder."

Jia Zhi lowered his eyes, his expression indifferent: "In the entire capital, there are at least seven or eight businesses in the rouge and face powder business. Each of them has their own unique formula and has long since established a firm foothold in the capital.

If Third Sister also plans to open a rouge and face powder shop, I advise you to give up. "

Rongguo Province had only been established for two or three generations. The matriarchs who married into the family were of similar background. They didn't have many secret formulas, let alone unimportant things like rouge and face powder.

Even the rouge and face powder used by Madam Jashi were specially bought from the shops.

Without the "secret formula" to distinguish their rouge and face powder from other shops, even if they were backed by Rongguo Province, they could only wait to close down. They didn't need to be suppressed by their peers.

At first, Jia Su paid attention to Jia Gu. But after she said this, she realized that among the two concubine sisters, this second sister, who didn't show off, was the one who really made the decision.

Thinking of this, her attitude towards Jia Zhi was much more serious. "I have a few unique formulas."

In this era, rouge and face powder were cosmetics. Although they were safer and more harmless than modern cosmetics, there were fewer patterns!

Even if she had lived on the frontline of war in her previous life, she was still a woman. Not to mention other things, at least she knew about the various colors of lipstick.

After transmigrating, it was inevitable for her to dislike rouge that was monochromatic and could only be colored by shades and gradients.

Fortunately, although Cui Yan was jumpy, she had the ability to make rouge. As long as Jia Su asked for a color, she could make the corresponding product.

After so many years, she had saved up more than a few formulas.

It seemed that her third sister wasn't doing this on a whim and had already prepared to open a rouge shop.

But …

"Sister, why did you choose the two of us?"

Jia Zhi didn't want to belittle herself, but she was an unfavored concubine of the Marquis's Mansion. She didn't have much power and didn't have much affection for her third sister. How could such a good thing, which was almost equivalent to giving away money, fall on her head?

Wouldn't it be better to cooperate with her fourth sister?

Jia Su sighed. "I'm preparing to sell a few shops that I've taken a fancy to, but I don't have enough money at the moment.

And I need someone to oversee the shop for me in the early stages. "

Jia Zhi looked at the banknotes in her and Jia Gu's hands. "These aren't enough?"

"I can't do anything before I get married."

Jia Zhi pondered for a moment and immediately nodded. "I agree."

Jia Gu was stunned. She looked at Jia Su and then at Jia Zhi. She still couldn't make up her mind. She could only say, "I'll give my third sister an answer in a few days."

Jia Su nodded. She wasn't displeased.

Jia Su had always thought that most of the men in ancient times were only good at being officials. They would be at a loss when it came to other professions.

But women were different. Not only did they have basic skills like zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, women's work, and housekeeping, they also had to be proficient in financial and human affairs.

Their own dowry was fine, but part of it was just land, gold, silver, jewelry, and ornaments. There weren't many areas that needed to be managed.

But the husband's family's property was needed to support the whole family. Not to mention increasing income and reducing expenditure, but they couldn't let these properties suffer a deficit in their hands, right?

The matriarchs of the ancient families were all top management talents.

Jia Su had suddenly had the idea of pulling her two concubine-sisters into the business. She hadn't prepared to persuade them. Now that one of them agreed and the other considered, she had already profited.

As for the possibility of changing the original life trajectory of her two concubine-sisters?

That would be an additional gain.

After the three of them finished discussing business, they let Chi Xia bring the four children back into the room.

But when they came in, the three of them were astonished to find that the oldest boy among the four children had bruises on his face.

Jia Su was startled: "Chi Xia, what's going on?"

Chi Xia's gaze moved back and forth between the four children. She couldn't help but look at the eldest and second young misses who had brought them here. Then, under Jia Su's urging gaze, she pointed at the oldest child and said: "Young Master Hu wanted to play with the three young masters and young misses. Because of his improper actions, he pushed Young Miss Liu down. Then the two young masters Liu and Young Master Hu started fighting."

Although Young Master Hu was the oldest, the four children were still young. At most, they were only one or two years older than the others.

One against two, wouldn't they be beaten up?

But what made Jia Su feel strange was that Young Master Hu didn't cry. After entering the room, he looked at his second sister with bright eyes full of scrutiny.

This was too strange. It didn't seem like the eyes of a child at this age.

Jia Zhi wasn't surprised at all. Her gaze fell on Young Master Hu's face, and a trace of ridicule flashed through her eyes. She intended to let go of her hand and completely ignore it.

"Third Young Miss, you can rest assured." For some reason, the page boy secretly broke out in a cold sweat for his young master.

Jia Su narrowed her eyes with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Young Master Lin, your page boy has a glib tongue."

Not only did he deny her problem, but he also praised Lin Ruhai. At the same time, he also pointed out to her future mother-in-law's opinion on Lin Ruhai's relationship with men.

What a talent!

Jia Su dug out the page boy's advantages, and the idea of poaching him was stirring in her heart.

Lin Ruhai didn't feel it.

He lowered his head, and the redness on his face hadn't faded. He stuttered a little: "Ah, yes, yes, mother also said that I, I, I have a glib tongue, and I can take responsibility."

Jia Su's fingers moved. She really wanted to reach out and pinch Lin Ruhai's face to see if he would blush again.

But after thinking about it, she gave up this idea.

After all, it was the first time they met. It wouldn't be good if she scared him like this.

Lin Ruhai: "…" I was already scared, okay?

She turned around and took a scented sachet with rough stitches from the tray in the hands of the Cui Yan: "This is the work I learned embroidery for the first time. I hope you don't dislike it."

The first time, no matter how small it was, was special enough.

After transmigrating into the body of the original owner, she worked hard to learn embroidery in order to not expose herself in the future.

This scented sachet was indeed the work she embroidered for the first time.

At that time, she thought it was too ugly to look at, but because it had a special meaning, she kept it.

Sure enough, after Lin Ruhai took the scented sachet, his cheeks began to blush: "The first, first embroidery work, you're really giving it to me?"

He looked at Jia Su with eyes that were strangely bright.

Because he was so surprised, he forgot to use a modest title for Jia Su.

Jia Su couldn't help but want to tease him: "Yes, I left this scented sachet for my future husband."

Lin Ruhai's face was hot: "I, I, I will treat you well in the future."

Jia Su smiled: "Okay, I'm looking forward to it."

Although she felt that a man's promise wasn't trustworthy, when it was said by a handsome and pure youth, it still made her happy.

-

After all, they were engaged. If the two of them spent too much time together, it would be easy for others to gossip.

The two of them said a few more words and then separated.

Lin Ruhai took the page boy back to the front courtyard to attend the wedding ceremony, and Jia Su leisurely returned to her courtyard.

For Lin Ruhai, there was nothing to see at the wedding ceremony, especially when one of the hosts was his original fiancée.

After the groom took the bride, Lin Ruhai said goodbye to Jia Daishan and left first.

The Lin Family originally had three generations of Marquises, but because of the current Emperor's great benevolence, he surpassed the previous generation, and the additional benevolence allowed Lin Ruhai's father to inherit another generation.

But when it came to Lin Ruhai's generation, he could only inherit the title of First Count.

But at the same time, because of His Holiness and Great Virtue, there were so many nobles in the capital that the title of Count couldn't intimidate others.

The Lin family also didn't have any clan members to help. After Father Lin died early, Lin Ruhai gradually found it difficult to support himself alone. No one could plan for his future.

Fortunately, Father Lin had the foresight to have Lin Ruhai study the Four Books and Five Classics from a young age to prepare for the imperial examinations. That was how he obtained the glory of being the third in the imperial examinations at the age of seventeen.

Now that it was a time of peace, there was a trend in the imperial court to value the civil and despise the military. Lin Ruhai was backed by nobles and had a proper background in the imperial examinations. Naturally, his future was promising.

But the lack of people in the Lin family was still a shortcoming for him when he entered the imperial court.

If he didn't have anyone to help him after becoming an official, his official career would be much more difficult. That was why Mother Lin arranged for him to marry into Rongguo Province, the head of the Four Great Clans.

Originally, he chose the legitimate daughter of Rongguo Province to match his status, but now it was changed to a concubine's daughter whose status was lower than his.

"Ruhai, have you seen the concubine's daughter of Rongguo Province today?" Mother Lin sat at the head of the table with an anxious expression.

The upbringing of a concubine's daughter was completely different from that of a legitimate daughter. The Lin family had fewer people, and the clan's relatives were all from the Five Great Clans. There was no need for the future daughter-in-law to preside over the clan's sacrifices. Otherwise, based on the identity of the concubine's daughter, it would be impossible for her to agree.

But who told the Lin family to have fewer people?

That Duke Rongguo's relationship with His Holiness wasn't normal. Now that his power was at its peak, if he could marry into the Duke, Ruhai's future would be much easier.

If she went, he would have a capable father-in-law to help him, and he wouldn't have to waste his official career because of his wife's death.

But the marriage was too rushed, and she hadn't seen the concubine's daughter of Rongguo Province before. She was very worried that Ruhai wouldn't like her.

If that was the case, she would have to arrange a few concubines for Ruhai that he liked.

This was also the condition that she had agreed on in advance when she was discussing the marriage with the Duke Rongguo's wife.

Of course, if it was the original legitimate daughter, she naturally wouldn't have this condition. They had even agreed that she could only take concubines if she didn't have a child for seven years.

Lin Ruhai nodded: "The Duke Rongguo was considerate and arranged for me to meet with the Third Miss."

"What's your impression of the Third Miss?" Mother Lin asked anxiously.

Thinking back to his meeting with Jia Su today, his face flushed red again: "She, she's very good."

After thinking for a while, he took out the sachet that Jia Su had given him: "The Third Miss cherishes old friendships. She has also preserved the work of her first embroidery lesson."

Mother Lin was surprised: "Oh?

The work of her first embroidery lesson?

She gave it to you? "

Out of curiosity, she reached out to take the sachet for a closer look.

But she didn't expect that when she was about to take the sachet, Lin Ruhai's hand would suddenly close, not letting her touch the sachet at all.

Mother Lin: "… Ruhai, what are you doing?"

Lin Ruhai lowered his head in embarrassment: "The Third Miss said, said that this sachet was a gift for her future husband. It wouldn't be good for others to touch it."

Mother Lin: "…"

They had only met once, and her son had already fallen for the Third Miss of Rongguo Province!

Mother Lin's expression was complicated. She didn't know whether to sigh at her son's stupidity or that concubine's daughter's ability.

But no matter what, it was a good thing that her son liked his fiancée.
