As our families are related through marriage, how could we fall short?" He casually recounted who had sent how many mu of good land, who had given how large a house, how much gold and silver, and added, "Moreover, you're really wronging Miss Wan. This was all discussed with the family's housekeeper, it has nothing to do with her!"
