Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

Ying Hengzhi also fell silent. Although she was unwilling, just as the system said, she did not have the ability to keep those treasures all to herself.

The only way to be honest with the Second Prince is to earn his gratitude.

Thinking of this, Ying Hengzhi immediately stood up and looked at the expensive clothes and jewelry that Steward Tian had just delivered. She began to dress up and get ready to see the Second Prince.

She had a subtle feeling that the Second Prince's attitude towards her was not as good as before.

Although he didn't show it, her intuition told her that she sensed a subtle difference.

The next morning, the Marquis of Weiyuan's residence became lively.

The craftsmen who were repairing the courtyard transported precious materials such as variegated rock into the mansion, truckload after truckload.

Next came exotic flowers and rare herbs, which were also transported to the Marquis of Weiyuan's residence in cartloads.

That wasn't all; Huabaoge and Yurongfang followed suit, with carts arriving one after another.

Just look at those exquisite boxes; they're made of extremely precious ebony or chicken wing wood.

This commotion was no less than the commotion when Shangguan Tang moved out of her dowry.

Soon, a crowd of onlookers gathered outside the Marquis of Weiyuan's residence to watch the spectacle.

"Tsk tsk, the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion has such a profound heritage. These cartloads are all high-quality goods; at first glance, they must be worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver!"

"Yes, it starts at least at 500,000 taels. See those carts? They're all porphyry, which is a rare and precious natural stone."

Immediately, the onlookers began to discuss among themselves, expressing both envy and jealousy.

Hearing the commotion, Ying Nanyao casually asked a servant, "What's all the noise outside?"

The servant replied, "Reporting to Your Excellency, the items ordered by the First Madam have arrived, as have the craftsmen who will repair the courtyard."

Ying Nanyao frowned. "Then why is there such a commotion? Help me into my wheelchair, I'll go out and take a look."

Ying Nanyao was pushed out in a wheelchair by a servant when Old Lady Liu also came out after hearing the commotion.

Liu Xueyan helped Old Madam Liu with a smile on her face; both of them looked very happy.

"Oh dear, our house hasn't been this lively in a long time since that bitch Shangguan Tang caused all that trouble."

Old Mrs. Liu's eyes were full of smiles; as people get older, they just love lively atmospheres.

Liu Xueyan proudly boasted, "Mother, I've hired craftsmen, and they'll start repairing the courtyard today. Soon, our house will be back to its former glory, or even better."

Old Mrs. Liu said, "We can't compare it to before. Nowadays, our family should keep a low profile..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she saw Ying Nanyao approaching with a suspicious look on his face.

They watched together as the craftsmen carried things down.

Ying Nanyao had seen good things before.

Old Liu had also met him.

So when they saw the precious flowers and plants being carried down, they were somewhat stunned.

At this point, none of them realized the seriousness of the situation.

Soon, they saw the mottled rock.

Old Liu's eyes widened, and the smile on her face gradually froze.

Ying Nanyao's eyes widened in disbelief.

Liu Xueyan noticed their expressions and assumed they were just too happy.

She couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile slightly, saying, "Mother, second brother, I personally selected all these things yesterday after running around all day, and the craftsmen I hired were also the best."

Don't worry, my home will soon be even better than before!

She proudly straightened her back, determined to show Shangguan Tang that even without her, she could manage the household better than when she was there!

However, instead of the expected praise, Ying Nanyao roared, "Liu Xueyan, are you crazy?"

Liu Xueyan was completely stunned.

This was the first time in all these years that Ying Nanyao had yelled at her.

It was the first time he had ever looked at him with such disbelief.

Liu Xueyan stood there stunned, her face filled with confusion and grievance.

"Second brother, why are you yelling at me?"

Just as her tears were about to fall, Old Liu suddenly shook off her hand.

"Yan'er, didn't we tell you to handle this as you see fit? Is this how you handle it?"

Old Liu's voice trembled.

Liu Xueyan was even more puzzled.

Just then, Ying Chengting, who had just finished his morning exercise, also heard the commotion and came over.

As soon as he arrived, he heard his grandmother asking his mother's questions, and he heard the things being transported to their mansion.

Ying Chengting was stunned for a moment at first, but in the blink of an eye, his face turned pale.

He was still young after all, and he couldn't control his expression very well.

He looked at Liu Xueyan in disbelief, "Mother, did you arrange all of this?"

Even her son was looking at her like that, as if she had committed a terrible crime. Liu Xueyan felt even more aggrieved.

"What...what's with all those expressions? What did I do wrong?"

Ying Nanyao couldn't help but rub his forehead. He could faintly hear the grunting of wild boars in his ears, and his love for Liu Xueyan was suddenly replaced by disgust.

How could Liu Xueyan compare to Ruyan?

If Ruyan weren't such a boar who couldn't manage household affairs, he definitely wouldn't have entrusted her with that task.

At this point, he couldn't help but think of Shangguan Tang.

Subconsciously comparing, if it were Shangguan Tang, she would never do something so foolish and inconsiderate.

"mother!"

"Yan'er!"

Suddenly, Ying Chengting and Old Lady Liu's exclamations interrupted Ying Nanyao's thoughts, and he looked up sharply.

Liu Xueyan's face was deathly pale, streaked with tears, and she nearly fell over as she staggered.

She was starting to show her pregnancy, and now, stroking her belly, she looked at him sadly.

Ying Nanyao then realized that he had unconsciously blurted out the words "if it were Shangguan Tang".

"Waaaaah, what did I do wrong? I ran around the whole street yesterday just to get all this arranged."

Even if my mother and second brother think I did something wrong, they shouldn't compare me to Shangguan Tang.

Since my second brother thinks Shangguan Tang is good, then I, as his sister-in-law, will help you win Shangguan Tang back.

"mother!"

Ying Chengting glanced at the crowd of onlookers outside, many of whom were officials from the imperial court.

Ying Chengting's face turned even paler.

"Mother, don't cry. Grandmother and Father didn't mean to blame you, it's just that you..."

"Waaaah, leave me alone!"

Liu Xueyan pushed everyone away, sobbing as she ran off, completely ignoring Ying Chengting's words.

Old Liu, Ying Nanyao, and Ying Chengting remained silent and motionless.

"I thought she would understand," said Old Liu.

Unexpectedly, she didn't understand at all.

Why didn't I realize how stupid she was before?

If it were Shangguan Tang, with her sharp mind, how could she not see through the tricks of this? She would definitely make careful purchases and would never be so high-profile as to provoke hatred.

Their money was ill-gotten to begin with, and they were hoping no one would find out they were rich. But now, in less than a day, the whole capital would be talking about it.
