Chapter 666 - 599, Confessed to_1
Listening to Madam Zhu, the fourth wife, recap the situation of their family, Madam Li glanced at Sun Family’s clearly interested demeanor and understood that her sister-in-law had her sights set on the other family’s dowry.
Thousands of books and paintings, well, even she was somewhat tempted.
What was the Yan Family lacking?
Heritage!
Good collections of books and paintings couldn’t simply be bought anywhere, they needed to be accumulated over generations within a family.
After some contemplation, Madam Li smiled and turned to Madam Zhu and the fourth wife, "Ningmen Prefecture is quite a distance from Xingzhou. You’ve come from afar, why not stay with us for a few more days? You could also take this opportunity to tour Ningmen Prefecture."
The fourth wife was naturally more than willing and quickly replied with a smile, "I’ve long heard about the beautiful scenery of Ningmen Prefecture. I didn’t get a chance to see much when I came over during the Dragon Boat Festival. Now I finally have the opportunity; I just hope it won’t impose on the elders and you, Madam."
Old Madam Yan felt the fourth wife was very eloquent and said with a smile, "Madam Zhu is being too courteous. We are delighted you could come; the very thought of imposition couldn’t be further from our minds."
