Chapter 1181: Chapter 1181: Really? Is it true?

"We’ll keep these banknotes, and there’s also..."

She had another place where she handed over a seemingly inconspicuous box right in front of Lie Ming’s eyes.

"These are all the silver pieces you’ve given me over the years, along with some jewelry that Father gifted me casually when I had flattered him into a good mood, which were originally presents from others to him. Take them and hide everything away.

Right now, we are about to leave the Prefect’s residence, and in the days to come, we’ll be relying on this silver. When the time comes, we’ll discreetly open a shop in Yejun. As long as Mother doesn’t find out, we’re sure to live well on our own."

"You’re getting married tomorrow. Surely the Prefect will give you a shop, right?" Lie Ming said.

Feng Yurui: "..."

Brother Ming, could you possibly not think of everyone in such a positive light?

I’m being married off below my status, and with the incidents that have occurred before, I’ve already left the worst impression with Father. The fact that Father didn’t break my legs is only out of consideration for my brother.

If Mother whispers in Father’s ear, would he give me a shop?

At most, he would give me a few dozen acres of good farmland.

But that’s fine, too. Shops can have profits and losses, yet with farmland, no matter how bad things get, it’s still there. If it can yield grain, then we plant. Even if nothing grows, the fields won’t be damaged."

"Perhaps."

She glanced at Lie Ming and exhaled three reserved words.

Just as Feng Yurui had expected, after the Prefect’s wife’s pillow talk, the Prefect immediately decided to buy thirty acres of good farmland near Ya Village for Feng Yurui as her dowry and handed over the land deeds to her.

The maids to accompany her dowry were no longer the close maidservants from the Prefect’s wife but instead two new, clumsy maids that had only been bought recently.

Fortunately, Lie Ming was included in her dowry as well.

Due to the incident Feng Yurui had caused before, the Prefect deemed Lie Ming incompetent at protecting the young miss, stripped him of his bodyguard status, and demoted him to a servant assigned to do various odd jobs around Feng Yurui.

This time, the Prefect thought his daughter had always been coddled and wouldn’t be suited for farm work in the countryside, so he arranged for Lie Ming to be part of her dowry, ready to assist her with all the rough and dirty tasks.

The intention couldn’t have been clearer: to have Feng Yurui lead a peaceful life in Ya Village with Zhou Liang by her side.

Seeing this, Feng Yurui merely scoffed coldly, saying nothing.

...

Ya Village.

When Madam Zhou saw the people from the Prefect’s residence and heard what they said, her heart could hardly contain its excitement.

"Really? Really?"

Clutching the nanny from the Prefect’s wife’s side, she asked several "really?" in a foolish manner.

Seeing her act like a fool, the nanny kept a stern face and pushed aside Madam Zhou’s hand, then looked up at Elder Mr. Zhou.

"Elder Mr. Zhou, my master demands that you arrange the proceedings quickly. Although the Zhou family has fallen, he is not the type to care about social status. Let’s get this marriage settled as soon as possible."

"Very well, very well,"

Elder Mr. Zhou nodded repeatedly, uttering a few words of agreement.

"If Elder Mr. Zhou thinks it’s good, then it’s good," the nanny said, looking at him.

Honestly, when she first arrived here, she was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped. How could such a rundown place exist?

Is this really Elder Mr. Zhou, who now lives in such a place?
