Chapter 96: Receiving the Dowry (Part 2)

Yueyao returned to Lanxi Courtyard and opened the first Carved Red Phoenix and Peony Box. At the top was the dowry list. Yueyao saw that on the list were twenty hectares of fertile farmland, four shops, and two properties. However, the deeds contained within the box were for fifty hectares of fertile land, seven shops, and three properties.

Yueyao was astonished, and she summoned Nanny Deng, "What is going on here?" She knew her grandmother loved her but would never give her extra. Plus, the additional thirty hectares were located in Jiangnan, an area known for its fish and rice, and a prosperous land, with many prominent families from the Capital City owning property there. However, desirable land was hard to come by.
