In Duke An's view, putting a lot of property in Ye Xinyi's hands will only incite her desire to spend it in inappropriate places, thus causing more trouble.
For his muddled son, for Ye Yuan and the future of Duke An's Mansion, and for Ye Xinyi herself, he must not let her hold onto excess wealth.
Duke An's decisiveness is unquestionable. Once he has an idea, he acts on it immediately. Soon he finds a low-ranking Imperial Censor at the Censorate, named Sun Qiushi.
Sun Qiushi is in his thirties, and his wife passed away due to difficult childbirth a year ago. He has a mother at home, as well as a concubine, and two children left by his first wife.
The reason Duke An favors Sun Qiushi is his mother, who is known for her strict family conduct.
According to research, Sun's mother treats her daughter-in-law reasonably, but is also strict in supervision. Even if the daughter-in-law feels free, it must be under Mother Sun's watchful eye.
