The old dowager's allocation was undoubtedly a huge bombshell for the Li Family's descendants, leaving everyone present stunned with fear. When she commanded everyone to leave, no one listened. Like roots beneath their feet, they all stood rooted to their spot.
In the dowager's possession were over twenty shops, a fortune gradually accumulated since her days in the Northern Lands, and startlingly, she gave away ten at once. Adding the betrothal gifts given to Lin Ziyin a few months ago, she had practically dispersed most of her wealth.
Traditionally, big estates always bequeathed their family property to the eldest son or eldest grandson. Even those of the second or third branch families only received a small slice of the inheritance. Never before, like the dowager, had the bulk been gifted to the grandchildren and grand-daughter-in-laws on the maternal side.
