The old patriarch snorted from the side, "What's the use of being smart and clever? Which family's daughter-in-law doesn't let go of the family's financial power? But she's something else, keeping all the property in her own hands, even Zixuan doesn't know how much money the family has. What kind of situation is this?"
Zixuan's aunt glanced at her father before asking, "Mother, is what my father said true?"
The grandmother nodded, "Mmm, Zixuan said it himself that day, he said he doesn't even know how much income the family has in a year." The grandmother spoke the truth.
Zixuan's aunt's eyebrows shot up, "Isn't this too outrageous? What kind of woman does this? No wonder she's so generous—it turns out she holds the family's financial power. Using the Lin family's silver to curry favor seems quite magnanimous of her."
