Chương 171: Chapter 171: Return to Maternal Home

As dawn broke, Lady Lin rose and began to pack.

She collected her own clothes and packed two sets for Jinguan; finally, she retrieved a small purse hidden against the wall by the cupboard.

Inside the purse were a pair of silver bracelets passed down to the eldest household by the auntie, who was also the matriarch, before her dying breath. The bracelets were said to have been a Wang Family heirloom for the daughter-in-law, but since her own mother-in-law had never won the auntie's favor, the auntie secretly kept them for her instead.

No one knew about these bracelets except for the auntie and Lady Lin.

It was said that at one point, her father-in-law had asked about them, but the auntie lied that the family was in dire straits and had pawned them, though in truth, she had stashed them away.

The pair of bracelets weighed a full two ounces, and Lady Lin had kept them hidden behind the cupboard ever since she got them, not even telling Wang Yongfu.
