Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

It was unexpected that Master Zhou wouldn't let Zhou San Niang return. She had thought that since Master Zhou and Madam Zhou loved their daughter, they would let her remarry once they saw Zhou San Niang write home. If that happened, she would have to find a way to make Zhou San Niang suffer so that she could get revenge on what she had done to the original owner of this body.

As it turned out, Master Zhou and Madam Zhou disagreed with Zhou Sanniang's return, which saved her from all that trouble.

After thinking about it carefully, Linlang understood why Master Zhou and Madam Zhou did not want Zhou Sanniang to come back and remarry.

Master Zhou and Madam Zhou were not people who did not love their daughter. If they did not love her, they would not have let her leave the Second Aunt's house in the first place.

However, as they stayed in the capital for longer and longer, they gradually adopted the mannerisms of some families in the capital and began to consider face and dignity.

They felt that it was better for their daughter to be at the Prince of Jin's ancestral temple than to bring her back and remarry her.

As long as their daughter remains in the ancestral temple of the Prince of Jin's mansion, she will still be a concubine of the Prince of Jin's mansion. No matter where the new Prince of Jin sends their daughter, at least on the surface, their daughter is a concubine of the Prince of Jin's mansion, and they will still have some connection with the Prince of Jin's mansion. In any case, the person who killed the former prince was not their daughter, and the new Prince of Jin will not blame them. He will also maintain contact with their family because of Zhou San Niang's status as a concubine.

Having a princely family like the Prince of Jin's Mansion as a relative is naturally a good thing.

This is why they don't want Zhou Sanniang to come back and remarry.

Given Zhou Sanniang's age and the fact that she's been with two different men, what kind of man could she possibly marry if she returned? It wouldn't be the other man who could help the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion; on the contrary, the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion would likely have to provide them with financial assistance. Just like Zhou Erniang, because she married down, her husband's family couldn't offer any help to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion; instead, the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion had to help them. Just looking at Zhou Erniang's situation, Master Zhou and his wife felt it was better not to let Zhou Sanniang return. Because of her situation, Zhou Sanniang might marry someone even worse than Zhou Erniang, and wouldn't be able to offer the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion any help. Naturally, it would be better for the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion to stay in the Jin Prince's Mansion.

In this way, they would be relatives of both the Prince of Ying's Mansion and the Prince of Jin's Mansion. Having such two prestigious families as relatives would be wonderful.

You see, they had just arrived in the capital, and their other children's marriage prospects were average, except for these two prestigious families, so they naturally didn't want to lose them.

Don't think that Zhou San Niang is just a concubine of Prince Jin's mansion and not a relative. In the shallow eyes of Master Zhou and Madam Zhou, they are relatives of Prince Jin's mansion. That's why they don't want Zhou San Niang to come back.

Because Master Zhou and Madam Zhou disagreed with Zhou San Niang's return to remarry, Zhou San Niang could only continue to stay in the ancestral temple of the Prince of Jin's mansion to pray for blessings. Unless there were special reasons, she probably wouldn't be able to cause any trouble in the future. This could be considered revenge for the original owner of the body. After all, the austere life in the ancestral temple was obviously not something Zhou San Niang could endure. That's enough.

With the situation on Zhou Sanniang's side resolved, in the Prince Ying's mansion, after Li Erlang divorced Cao Shi, he remarried. This time, Li Erlang chose the wife himself and then told Li Erye and Zhao Shi. After Li Erye and Zhao Shi looked at her and found no problems, they arranged for her to marry him.

Li Erlang chose it himself, so naturally it must be something that would be helpful to him.

Looking at the others in the mansion, he also chose a merchant's daughter. After all, a merchant's daughter had a large dowry, and who wouldn't want to marry her? Scholarly families considered marrying a merchant's daughter beneath them, but he was a member of the imperial family, born into nobility, so he wasn't afraid.

Li Erlang had suffered too much and didn't want to live a life of hardship anymore, so he chose a merchant's daughter, specifically one with a large dowry and average looks—after all, if someone is good-looking, who would bring a large dowry? You can marry well just by looking good. It's only if someone is average-looking and wants to marry into a family with a powerful background that they have to bring an even larger dowry.

Li Erlang didn't care if his wife was of average appearance; as long as he had a beautiful concubine, that was enough. The key was that she had a large dowry.

He certainly wouldn't covet the other woman's dowry, but if his wife has a large dowry, she'll definitely be willing to spend it on their son when he's born, so his son can live a good life in the future, and that's enough.

Of course, it would be best if the woman were willing to take some of her dowry for him to spend.

Needless to say, most women know what the husband values ​​in a family with high social status but little money, and they will often provide money for their husband's family to spend.

This new wife of Li Er was like that. Knowing that she was of average appearance, she was able to marry into the royal family because of her large dowry. So when she came in and heard that Li Erlang said he had no money, she was very willing to spend money on him. This made Li Erlang feel that he had made the right choice in marrying her. For a while, the two got along quite well.

However, because Consort Zhang favored Li Yu, Li Erlang was just as unhappy as Li Sanlang. Therefore, Li Er's wife followed her husband's wishes and her relationship with Linlang was also very ordinary.

As long as the Cao family doesn't cause trouble for Linlang like they did before, Linlang doesn't care if they have a cold relationship with her, since she doesn't need to get particularly close to anyone.

Besides, the Prince of Ying's mansion has several branches, and there are plenty of people willing to get close to Linlang. After all, Linlang's maternal family is the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. Regardless of Linlang's background, the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion holds a first-class position in the capital, and its background is powerful. Therefore, while the Second and Third Madams of the Li family are unwilling to associate with Linlang, there are others who have no conflict of interest with her and are willing to associate with her. After all, why not befriend someone with such a powerful background? So Linlang is not short of friends and does not feel any regret that the Second and Third Madams of the Li family ignore her.

In fact, the relationship between Granny Li Er and Granny Li San was not very good. The reason was simple: after Granny Li Er learned that Zhao would give money to Li Sanlang, she naturally did not have any good feelings towards Granny Li San and her husband. After all, for Granny Li Er, both Linlang's family and Granny Li San's family had someone to support them, but her family did not. Not only did they not have any, but she also had to guard against Aunt Cao asking her for money. This psychological gap made it impossible for her to have a good relationship with Granny Li San.

So now the relationship between the two families is so cold; the three families ignore each other and live their own lives.

Leaving aside the fact that Li Erlang married another wife, let's just say that on this day, Sister-in-law Linlang came to the mansion to visit her and also to see her birth mother, Chen.

Mr. Li, who was paralyzed before, has long since passed away. After all, being paralyzed for so long without modern medical technology, he would easily have died.

Madam Zhou was naturally happy about the passing of Master Li, after all, her father was a scoundrel who, for the sake of a title, had demoted her mother to a concubine, causing her own title to be lowered as she became an illegitimate child. No wonder she couldn't be happy. (End of Chapter)
