FSC [QT] Chapter 99.4

The eldest grandson was brought up by the late Marquis himself, so all the paintings and calligraphy in the treasury were left to Ling Zihuai.

At that time, the second grandson Ling Zijian was not born yet. The other illegitimate grandsons and illegitimate sons also did not get anything.

As the eldest daughter-in-law and future Madam of the Marquis of Changping, Mrs. Fan inherited six-tenths of all the jewelry, while the second and third branches’ daughters-in-law inherited two-tenths and one-tenths respectively.

Ling Zhuo, his legitimate granddaughter, was the child that the late Marquis felt most indebted to during his lifetime, so he made an exception and left her a share when dividing the private property, which was a treatment that other granddaughters had never had.

As for Old Mrs. Wu, according to the late Marquis, after his death, she became a widow and did not need to dress up too much. In addition, Old Mrs. Wu did not like these things before, so she was not left a share when the private property was divided this time so that she would not be divided again after a hundred years.

Old Mrs. Wu was so angry that she almost vomited blood when she saw the jewelry that was about to be in her hands flying away.

However, in front of the late Marquis who was on his deathbed, she had to force herself to express her approval of this distribution method.

After the distribution was over, the first branch became the biggest winner.

Although the second branch also got enough wealth for them to squander for two or three generations, they still did not feel satisfied.

In particular, although the late Marquis said that it was distributed in proportion, the land was good or bad, and the jewelry also had high and low prices.

Out of the selfishness of the late Marquis, the jewelry he gave to Ling Zhuo was of excellent quality. Although the quantity was one-tenth, the real value was far above the things that the second and third branches got.

At that time, Ling Zhuo was only seven years old. A seven-year-old child had wealth that Old Mrs. Wu had never had in her life. How could she be willing?

Even Mrs. Xiao Wu, who got two-tenths of the jewelry, but her two daughters got nothing, was unwilling to accept it.

“It’s really a strange combination of circumstances. You know, the reason why the late Marquis left those things to the Sixth Girl was because he thought that she was his own granddaughter, but now…”

Old Mrs. Wu paused, looked at Ah Wu with a little pity, then turned to look at Mrs. Fan and Ling Yaodong.

“Now, should the Sixth Girl return the things that the late Marquis left her to the original owner… at the very least… return some of them.”

Didn’t the first branch want to whitewash the situation?

Didn’t they want to treat the adopted daughter and the biological daughter equally?

She wanted to see if Mrs. Fan would get those things back from her adopted daughter who she had treasured for eleven years.

If Mrs. Fan did that, Ling Zhuo would definitely resent her, but if Mrs. Fan didn’t do that, what would the Seventh Girl who had just returned home think?

That was not ten taels or twenty taels. Any piece of jewelry might be enough for Yu Wu to have enough food and drink for a lifetime before she returned to her ancestral home.

Was she really willing to hand over such a fortune to Ling Zhuo, who had occupied her affluent life for eleven years?

Old Mrs. Wu felt that there couldn’t be a person with such a great temperament in this world.

And based on the sharp words just now, Old Mrs. Wu felt that the eleven-year-old girl in front of her was not simple. She easily avoided several attacks from Mrs. Xiao Wu and was even able to retort. It could be seen that she was also somewhat scheming.

This girl didn’t look like someone who lived in the countryside and was raised in a rough way. Was the power of blood really that strong?

Just because she is the daughter of Mrs. Fan and Ling Yaodong, is she naturally more mature and intelligent than ordinary children?

This thought flashed through Old Mrs. Wu’s mind, and then she focused on her plan.

It would be fun to see a smart little girl fighting with Ling Zhuo, the spoiled idiot. She didn’t know which one Ling Yaodong and Mrs. Fan would feel sorry for.

Old Mrs. Wu’s plan was not without its viciousness. No matter what Mrs. Fan and Ling Yaodong did, it would always leave a thorn in the heart of one of the children.

They hoped that their beloved adopted daughter and their owed biological daughter could live in peace, but it was obvious that as long as Old Mrs. Wu and the second branch existed, they did not want to see this happen.

“The one who cares about Grandpa is the Sixth Young Lady, and the one who wears mourning for Grandpa is also the Sixth Young Lady. Those things are not mine.”

Ah Wu really had no interest in jewelry. In her heart, those things were far less valuable than the three coins in the small cloth bag hanging on her chest.

As long as Ling Zhuo didn’t target her and didn’t take her brother away from her, it didn’t matter if those things were given away.

Old Mrs. Wu didn’t take Ah Wu’s words seriously. She just thought that this country girl didn’t know the value of those things at all, so she would let her know.
