FSC [QT] Chapter 102.1

“Xiao Wu, you don’t have to take to heart what the Old Madam and your Second Aunt said last night.”

It was already dark after dinner yesterday. Even as a father, Ling Yaodong couldn’t keep his daughter by his side to talk all night long.

The next day happened to be the day when Ling Yaodong took a day off. After learning that Ah Wu had woken up and had breakfast, he specially ordered his servants to invite the newly comer Seventh Young Lady of the Marquis’s Mansion to his study.

“Since it was given to your Sixth Sister, I won’t take them back. But, don’t worry. The things your parents leave for you will definitely not be less than that.”

It was true that Ling Zhuo received part of the late Marquis’ private property, but the real big share was still in the hands of Ling Yaodong, the eldest son, and Mrs. Fan, the eldest daughter-in-law.

How could they be stingy with money when it came to their own biological daughter, who they owed for eleven years?

Mrs. Fan had already thought about it. Except for some precious jewels that she often wore and had heirloom significance, which would be passed down to her daughter-in-law in the future, most of the rest would be left to Ah Wu as a dowry.

Her own dowry was no exception. Her son and biological daughter would take up the majority.

After all, Ling Zhuo was also her child who she had raised and loved for eleven years. She would still leave a small portion for her, not much, at least not on par with her biological daughter.

Most of the things of aristocratic families have inheritance significance. Mrs. Fan and Ling Yaodong would continue to love Ling Zhuo for the sake of their past eleven years of relationship, but they had to have some concerns about their blood family.

Ling Zhuo would still be the Sixth Young Lady of the Marquis of Changping Mansion, but Ling Zhuo would not be able to access some of the more core secrets of the Marquis’s Mansion in the future.

“Have you been doing well in these eleven years?”

Ling Yaodong rarely showed such a tender side.

There was a stepmother in the backyard who was eyeing him covetously, and there were all kinds of political enemies in the former government who were ready to bite him when he was weak.

Ling Yaodong’s nerves had always been tense, and he did not dare relax at any time.

When facing his two daughters, it was an exception. One was related to him by blood, but she was implicated by his father when she was born. It was hard not to feel pity for the weak and sick daughter.

Before, Ling Yaodong thought that Ling Zhuo was his daughter, so he doted on her and indulged her. Now he knew that everything was wrong. He made the child who was really owed suffer for eleven more years. His guilt naturally deepened.

“I don’t care about those things.”

Ah Wu shook her head. At present, except for a nominal sister who seemed to be hostile to her, other family members were very good to her. She might not be the most important in their hearts, but she definitely occupied a very important position.

In just one day, Ah Wu could not accept these feelings and could not integrate into a new family.

For her, sooner or later, she and her brother would leave here and return to their hometown.

“If you feel guilty, please help me find someone.”

Ah Wu said the real reason why she was willing to return to the Marquis’s Mansion.

Over the years, she had already gotten the whereabouts of Yu Yan from Li Xu and others. She couldn’t get to that place for the time being, but the Marquis’s Mansion could.

It shouldn’t be a difficult task for the Marquis of Changping’s Mansion to find a eunuch who entered the palace eight years ago, and it wouldn’t bring trouble to the Marquis’s Mansion.

But taking a young eunuch away from the imperial city without anyone noticing might be a disaster.

So, Ah Wu only planned to get help from the Marquis’s Mansion to find the person. After finding the person, she could think about the next plan.

“Looking for someone?”

Ling Yaodong frowned. He didn’t know who Ah Wu was looking for.

Because the villagers were afraid that they would vent their anger on Yu Yan, they concealed the fact that Mrs. Yu almost sold Yu Wu. This time, the villagers were highly unified.

Nanny Liu and others stayed in Xiaoxi Village for a while, but they didn’t find out anything about Yu Yan.

They only knew that Mrs. Yu had another son, but they didn’t see him at that time. They thought that Mrs. Yu and others died early and the child didn’t survive.

“Well, look for my brother.” Ah Wu nodded.

Ling Yaodong naturally knew that the brother she was talking about was not his son Ling Zihuai, but someone else.

“To me, he is very important.”

Ah Wu briefly told the story of Yu Yan selling himself to save her.

She told the story calmly, with her tone fluctuating only when she talked about her brother.

But this story sounded completely different to Ling Yaodong.

He knew that his daughter had suffered a lot after being taken away by mistake, especially since Yu Fucai and Mrs. Yu died early. If it weren’t for the kind neighbor who took the three-year-old Xiao Wu to her side to take care of her, she might not have lived until now.

But Ling Yaodong didn’t know that his daughter had almost been sold into slavery. Fortunately, Yu Fucai and Mrs. Yu died early, otherwise, where would he find his daughter?
