He was used to being straightforward and didn't plan to play any tricks with Yan Qingyun.

He directly told Yan Qingyun the purpose of his visit.

"Father-in-law, you must be joking. Why would I have any objections? I have the same intention even if you didn't say it. Since you've asked today, I promise that I'll hand those things to Mianmian after I clean them up."

Yan Qingyun agreed. Those things originally belonged to Yan Mian.

It was reasonable to return it to its rightful owner. Moreover, it was General Qi who came forward. Yan Qingyun did not dare to play tricks.

It was already not easy to resolve this matter peacefully. It was definitely not the right thing to play tricks at this time and anger General Qi.

Yan Qingyun wouldn't do that, so he agreed solemnly.

"It would be best if you could agree."

General Qi looked at Yan Qingyun and his expression softened.

Yan Qingyun smiled and said, "Father-in-law, don't worry. I'll send it to Mianmian in a few days. When the time comes, I'll invite my nephew or Xingzhi and Xingfeng to be a witness."

Father Qi smiled and said, "I'm fine with it. I'm happy to help."

These things came from the Qi family and were given by General Qi. Back then, he sent these as Qi Xinyu's dowry because General Qi only had one daughter, Qi Xinyu.

It was so heavy because he hoped that Qi Xinyu could live happily and manage it well. Then, she would pass it on to her children. Qi Xinyu was only left with one child, Yan Mian. Hence, these things should belong to Yan Mian.

There were so many things back then. It would probably be a little difficult for the Yan family to pass 80% of it to Yan Mian now. However, this was not something they had to worry about. How to take it out and show it to the Qi family was Yan Qingyun's matter. As for them, they just had to widen their eyes and be stubborn.

Qi Xingzhi also revealed his white teeth and smiled. "No problem. I'm the best at counting. I'm more than happy to help."

Qi Xingfeng held back the words that were about to come out of his mouth. In the end, he only said two words, "Yes."

Qi Xingfeng's attendants held back their laughter and quickly took out their notebooks to record Qi Xingfeng's words.

"Yes, you're an open and honest person. I've always believed that my judgment back then wasn't wrong. While I can still walk, don't hesitate. Let's do it in five days. Five days later, I'll come again. You're now a minister, so I don't have to worry about anything."

General Qi's praise was actually to let Yan Qingyun know that he would only give him five days. After five days, everything that should be given back to them had to be in place. Moreover, he shouldn't try to fool him when doing things. If he couldn't even do such a small thing, he wouldn't be able to bear the responsibility of being a second-rank official.

At that time, it would only be normal for him to report him.

"Father-in-law, don't worry. I understand."

Yan Qingyun looked at the strict General Qi and understood that he was the only one who could put an end to everything that Qi Xinyue had done. General Qi would not bring up the past in the future.

These things should have been inherited by Yan Mian.

"Alright, we've said what needs to be said. Let's go back."

General Qi called his grandchildren along.

Yan Qingyun was about to ask General Qi to stay for dinner. General Qi was also a general. It was beneficial to be close to him.

However, before Yan Qingyun could speak, General Qi waved his hand and said, "No thank you."

General Qi could let Yan Qingyun off like this because Madam Zhao was unwilling to pursue the matter. However, not pursuing the matter did not mean that she did not blame him.

Father Qi and Mother Qi nodded gently at Yan Qingyun to show their respect.

"You don't have to send us off, Uncle."

Father Qi smiled and said. His etiquette was in place. He turned around and stopped smiling.

Qi Xingfeng blushed and didn't say anything in the end.

Qi Xingzhi grinned and dragged Qi Xingfeng home.

When they saw Yan Zhiyuan and his wife on the way out, Yan Zhiyuan lowered his head and bowed. His wife, Madam Lu, also bowed, but General Qi did not even look at her.

Father Qi, Mother Qi, Qi Xingzhi, and Qi Xingfeng walked out without looking at them.

After they left, Yan Zhiyuan clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. "This is too much!"

Madam Lu's eyes darkened. She lowered her eyes and said, "Dear, let's go to Father's side first."

Yan Zhiyuan looked displeased. He left without saying anything, but it was obvious from his face that he had a lot of complaints about Yan Qingyun.

When they arrived at the main room, Yan Zhiyuan looked at Yan Qingyun who was comparing the gift book. Yan Zhiyuan calmed himself down and said, "Father, why are you looking for us?"

He had been managing Qi Xinyue's funeral for the past few days and was a little tired. Although it could not be done properly, as a son, he could not skip the etiquette that it should have.

Yan Zhenzhen was tired and sick, but their father acted as if nothing had happened and was not worried at all.

Thinking of this, he could barely suppress the complaints in his heart.

Yan Zhiyuan lowered his eyes and did not look at Yan Qingyun.

Madam Lu bowed and stood respectfully beside Yan Zhiyuan. She lowered her eyes and did not say anything.

Yan Qingyun glanced at the two of them and said directly, "The Qi family came just now. You know about it, right?"

"The dowry that Qi Xinyu brought over back then. After she passed away, your mother married over and I handed these things to her to manage. Why are so many shops closed now? Is there only one shop still around?"

Yan Qingyun looked at Yan Zhiyuan and asked him. He never cared about these things. As soon as General Qi's family left, he immediately went to look at the gift book and the ledger. After comparing them, his expression became serious.

Of the ten shops, only one was left. There were also many expensive ornaments scattered everywhere. How could he gather 80%?

Hearing the question, Yan Zhiyuan suppressed his dissatisfaction and replied in a low voice, "For so many years, my father has never asked about business matters. Over the past few decades, some shops have closed because they could not run anymore. What we have now is all run by my mother later on and has nothing to do with Qi Xinyu."

His mother had risked her life to leave these things for them. No matter what, he had to protect them.

If an official had no money, how could he be proficient? Besides, he also had a child. Without these things that brought him money, what would happen to his child in the future?

"Bang."

Yan Qingyun threw the ledger in front of Yan Zhiyuan and roared, "Ridiculous! It's still believable that other shops can't be run, but why would the cloth shop close down? Her cloth shop has closed down, but why hasn't your mother's cloth shop closed down for decades? Why isn't it difficult to run?"

Yan Qingyun was furious. Qi Xinyue was really good. She had secretly replaced everything that belonged to Qi Xinyu with her own.

Yan Qingyun immediately felt a headache coming on. This matter was not as easy to resolve as he had imagined.
