At this moment, she was having a headache. If he didn't let her sleep, then he could just chat with her. She still respected her elders and loved her youth, but her commanding attitude and tone of voice made Lu JinNian feel extremely unhappy.

”Does the Miss Sun from the Great General's Estate represent the face of the Great General's Estate? It's not you who spread the rumours about my looks all these years, but it's a pity that I still have the face to say it, so I'm too embarrassed to listen. ”

”Besides, when did I say I was going to get married? I am not in a hurry at all. Even if I am, I am still under the control of my mother, the official wife of the great general.

Not only the servants of the General's Estate, even the madams of the aristocratic families outside had treated her as a proper matriarch of the General's Estate. Yet, Lu JinNian had called her 'Aunt', which made her feel very uncomfortable.

”Eldest Miss isn't young this year either. If Eldest Miss's mother is here, she would hope that Eldest Miss will marry a good family soon. After all, a woman must rely on a man for the rest of her life.”

Hope my ass! Relying on my ass!

Lu Jinsheng rubbed his forehead. He really wanted to blow it.

If her mother felt that a woman had to rely on a man for her entire life, she wouldn't run away from home for so many years without even taking a message.

She came from a world that advocated equality between men and women, and she felt that it was only natural for women to be strong while her mother was born and raised in this era.

In a place where a man had three wives and four concubines, it was very normal for him to abandon the family of the Great General so decisively. He had to have status, status, and money. His courage was worthy of her applause.

In short, Lu Jinsheng couldn't be bothered to continue chatting with Mrs Shen, and a trace of coldness flashed through the smile on his lips.

”Aunt Shen, the second daughter of Liang Jing City's rich merchant Jia Lie. I heard that three years ago, Aunt's mother wanted to compete for the Emperor's Shang and left it at that. The Imperial Shang clan ran for the position once every five years, and that was the best chance Aunt had of doing so. I wonder what will happen after two years.”

When Mrs Shen heard Lu JinNian mention her mother's house, she couldn't help but frown. ”The competition for the imperial merchants was already intense to begin with. If they didn't choose then they wouldn't be chosen. What's the big deal!”

”Hur hur, I was right when I said that my daughter got married and poured out some water.” Lu JinNian's beautiful fox eyes narrowed.

”I presume this aunt still doesn't know that from three years ago, your mother's business became even more difficult to manage. If this goes on, we won't even know if she'll be able to gain a foothold in Liang Jing City.”

”What happened!” Lady Shen was alarmed and had a bad premonition.

”Didn't Aunt embezzle quite a bit of the general's property all these years to help your mother's family?”

”Don't worry, the estate is very generous. Whether it's the actual accounts or the fake accounts of the aunt, I have a backup. Take a look. The general saw that these accounts removed auntie's authority very quickly, so he decided to marry me out.”

Mrs Shen stared at Lu JinNian, her face ashen. She wasn't sure if Lu JinNian was trying to scare her or if she really did have the account book in her hands, but she had spent a lot of money these years. If she suddenly didn't have the money, then … She didn't dare to gamble.
