When Jing Miaoyi left the room, she asked Hua Rong and Hua Jing to wait on Shen Wan.

At the other end, Nanny Song, who was hosting the Zhen Guogong and his wife, also returned to the main courtyard.

Jing Miaoyi pulled Nanny Song into another room and asked, "Have everyone been sent away?"

Nanny Song said: "We are all gone, madam, do you want to see the betrothal gift from the Xie family?"

She took out three thick lists of betrothal gifts from under her loose sleeves and handed them to Jing Miaoyi with both hands.

When Jing Miaoyi received the three heavy lists of betrothal gifts, she knew what was going on.

The Jing family had already seen how rich the Xie family was. When Zhen Guogong took the initiative to terminate the engagement, he also compensated the Jing family with a lot of gifts.

Although, many things are dominated by people from the Jing family.

But it can't be beat, Zhen Guogong is too down-to-earth.

In this era, no matter what reason the man gives to terminate the engagement, the woman always suffers some losses. The Duke of Zhen Guo thought of this and tried his best to compensate in terms of money.

The large dowry she now holds in her hand is still the land, shops and many villages that the Duke of Zhen Guo compensated her for.

Now, when she received the betrothal gift from Nanny Song, Jing Miaoyi was not surprised at all, but she accepted it with peace of mind.

She opened the list of betrothal gifts and looked at it. The Zhou family was a merchant, and the whole family was doing business outside. She herself also managed her shop successfully.

Over the years, the government of Zhenguo has built up a solid foundation, and the betrothal gifts it has given out are of course priceless.

I am afraid that even the royal family's employment is not as good as a corner of the Zhenguo Palace. Of course, many valuable things are hidden in it, such as land deeds.

The betrothal gift that everyone sees on the surface must not exceed the prince's wedding.

Jing Miaoyi is very satisfied with this list of betrothal gifts.

Mother Song said: "It seems that the Xie family sincerely wants to marry the eldest lady."

"So what?" Jing Miaoyi took a rough look at the items in the betrothal gift list and said, "Isn't this what it should be? Is it so easy for the legitimate daughter of the Shen family to marry? What's more, his son is like that. This A little compensation is nothing.”

"Yes, yes." Nanny Song agreed, "How do you plan to distribute the eldest lady's dowry?"

When Jing Miaoyi heard this, she closed the list of betrothal gifts and frowned slightly. Thinking that the birthmark on Shen Lian's face was because she helped her avoid disaster, Jing Miaoyi felt a little guilty.

"Put all the jewelry, gold, silver and valuable antiques, calligraphy and paintings in the betrothal gift under the name of the second lady."

"In the name of the second young lady?" Mother Song was stunned. She didn't expect the madam to have this idea: "Madam, you want to add the betrothal gift sent by the Xie family to the second young lady's dowry and bring it into the East Palace in the future? "

"No, you are wrong." Jing Miaoyi looked up at her with a shrewd light in her eyes: "I have no intention of letting the eldest daughter marry into the Xie Mansion."

Mother Song's expression was shocked, her eyes widened and she looked down at the betrothal gift list in Jing Miaoyi's hand: "Madam, do you want the second young lady to marry into the Xie Mansion on behalf of the eldest lady?"

"That's right." Jing Miaoyi already had her own plan: "The eldest lady is knowledgeable and courteous, has outstanding appearance, is dignified and gentle. Such a woman is the best choice for the crown prince. The prince does not know the truth at the moment, so he made the mistake. I treat the young lady as a pearl and dote on her. After the second young lady marries into the Xie family, I will tell His Highness the Crown Prince about the birthmark on the second young lady’s face. After he sees it for himself, he will no longer want Lian’er to be his crown princess.”

"Mammy, you have to help me." Aunt Song was Jing Miaoyi's wet nurse. She was the one who secretly planned the matter for Jing Miaoyi, Zhen Guogong and Shen Zhengyi: "You also saw it. , since Lian'er returned home, accidents have happened frequently in the Shen family. The old lady in this house is still awake, the eldest son has been seriously injured, the second son has lost his legs, and the master is still in prison. Take a look at what Lian'er said today at the gate of Shen Mansion. Yixing, if she marries into the East Palace like this, it will only drag the entire Shen family into the abyss. I can't just watch my daughter destroy the Shen family, destroy my husband and son."

The more Jing Miaoyi talked, the sadder she became, sobbing in Nanny Song's arms.

Aunt Song gently stroked her back.

These days, she could see the pain in Jing Miaoyi's heart.

This is also a girl who was pampered by the Jing family. After marrying into the Shen family, the head of the family also doted on her.

She had never seen Jing Miaoyi in such a miserable state, but since Shen Lian returned to the Shen family, Mother Song watched Jing Miaoyi become increasingly haggard.

"This matter is always against the holy will. Madam cannot do it by herself. When the Xie family finds out that the bride has been replaced, madam, you can just pretend that you don't know about it. The rest of the matter will be taken care of by your servant. Remember to keep the big brother Miss, hide it."

Aunt Song took out her handkerchief and wiped the tears from Jing Miaoyi's face.

When Jing Miaoyi heard what Nanny Song said, she said in a panic: "Nanny Song, I have never thought of taking advantage of you. You must not..."

Nanny Song shook her head and smiled: "Madam, the eldest young lady and the second young lady are both married by the emperor. If this matter has anything to do with the madam, the emperor will definitely be furious, but if an evil slave secretly seduces the bride, then this matter will not matter. It’s the same, at least the emperor still has steps to go down.”

The worst case scenario is to execute this evil slave like her.

"Madam must be a person who doesn't know about this matter." Mother Song said in a serious tone.

Jing Miaoyi nodded obediently. As for how the emperor and empress would view the marriage exchange later, she had not yet decided. She would take it step by step and wait until the matter was settled.

"How do you plan to distribute the dowry?" asked Sister Song.

Jing Miaoyi reopened the list of betrothal gifts and said: "The second young lady didn't know how to settle accounts, so I compensated her more in gold and silver. The eldest lady was literate and knew how to run a business and run a shop, so she gave her the shop sent by the Xie family." , the land deeds were all assigned to the eldest lady’s name, and from my dowry, the silk brocade, jade bracelets, and the golden lotus hairpin left by my mother were also added to the second lady’s dowry box, Lian’er After all, she is my biological flesh and blood, so don’t treat her badly in this regard.”

Speaking of this, Jing Miaoyi gritted her teeth and simply added more than half of the gold and silver jewelry from her own dowry to Shen Lian's dowry.

Aunt Song took the betrothal gift list from Jing Miaoyi's hand and said, "I know this, but Madam still feels sorry for the second young lady."

Jing Miaoyi took a deep breath: "Go ahead and tell the second lady to ask her to send the few chambermaids and maids around her to the front yard to help."

Tomorrow is the wedding ceremony, and the mansion has to be decorated with red silks, lanterns, paper-cut flowers, etc. The servants in the mansion are very busy. Even if the servants and maids are sent away at this time, they dare not say anything.

Coincidentally, before Nanny Song opened the door to look for Shen Lian, Shen Lian came over first: "Mother, mother."

Nanny Song opened the door and called: "Second Miss, Madam is inside."

"Mother." Shen Lian quickly walked into the room, took Jing Miaoyi's hand and said, "Didn't you say that our family can't afford so much silver to compensate people outside? I saw the betrothal gift box from the Xie family. There is a lot of gold and silver in it, if you dig out some at random, it will be enough to compensate people outside, and you will not be accused of father's corruption, and it can save my face and build momentum for me, the future crown princess."

Jing Miaoyi's eyelids twitched fiercely.

Aunt Song came over from the side carrying a teapot, poured a cup of tea for Shen Lian, and handed it to her: "Second Miss, let's have a sip of tea first."

"Oh, thank you." Shen Lian took the tea from Nanny Song and drank it in one gulp.

With a "bang" sound, he fell down on the table and fainted.

Jing Miaoyi sighed, raised her hand and touched the left side of her face, peeled off the medicine film on her face, revealing a large and shocking black birthmark, and said: "Lian'er, our family can't afford to bother you. If you do good deeds, you will go to the Zhen Guo Gong's Mansion in the future. You can do whatever you want. With the attitude of the Xie family in proposing marriage, Zhen Guo Gong will always treat your daughter-in-law well because of the past relationship between my mother and him."
