For the next two days, the He Mansion was very lively. A wedding was going to be held in the mansion, and the servants decorated the mansion very festively, with wedding characters pasted everywhere. Chen Lerong invited the best embroiderer in the capital to the mansion to sew wedding dresses for He Shuzhen and He Shulan.

The Prince's Mansion had already sent over the red cloth for the wedding dress. This cloth was extremely precious and would emit colorful light under the sun. This made He Shuzhen, who was being measured, jealous: "He Shulan, give me the red cloth sent by the Prince's Mansion to make my wedding dress."

He Shulan raised her eyelids and said, "You dare to touch the things sent by the Prince's Mansion."

"Hmph." He Shuzhen really didn't dare to touch the things in the Prince's Mansion. The reborn He Shuzhen knew what she would face if she married into the Prince's Mansion. She couldn't stand He Shulan's smug look: "I want to see how long you can be so proud. When that happens, don't come back crying."

He Shulan replied meaningfully: "I will definitely not come back crying, but you will definitely come back crying after you marry me."

"No way." He Shuzhen raised her head proudly. She knew what happened in her previous life. Liu Chen would be promoted to the Ministry of Personnel, and she was waiting to become an official's wife: "You should keep these pieces of cloth to make your wedding dress!" After saying that, she ignored He Shulan and continued to let the embroiderer measure the size.

After finishing the work, it was completely dark and my uncle and aunt came to the house.

Aunt Bai Fei looked at He Shulan with tears in her eyes: "Although the marriage with the Prince's Mansion was arranged by your late mother, your aunt thinks that the Prince is too dissolute. Before, he often lingered in brothels. Now he has not yet married, but he has got a concubine. Not only is she a concubine, but he even gave her the power to run the household. It is simply unbelievable. Your aunt and uncle will make the decision for you and cancel the marriage."

He Shulan hugged Bai Fei and said, "Who among the children of aristocratic families is not unrestrained? To put it bluntly, your concubine is also a concubine. When I marry into the Prince's Mansion, no matter how favored you are, you will have to serve me tea, and the power to manage the family will fall into my hands. You and uncle don't have to worry."

"How can I not be worried? The Prince's love for his concubine is widely known in the capital. I'm afraid you will be wronged if you marry into the Prince's mansion."

He Shulan felt warm in her heart. She was the only one in the He Mansion, but she had her uncle, aunt and grandfather behind her. In her previous life, she was notorious because of her stepmother, and it was her grandfather's family who supported her. "Don't forget, the old lady in the Prince's Mansion is still here. With her around, I won't suffer any loss."

Bai Fei breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that He Shulan had made up her mind, she stopped trying to persuade him and handed the red wooden box to He Shulan. "Your mother's dowry contained a lot of jewelry. Your grandfather and I have discussed it over and over again and decided to buy you ten shops as your dowry. You can use the rent from the shops as your daily expenses without having to worry about the Prince's Mansion." As she spoke, she asked the three people standing at the door to come in. "We are afraid that you will not have enough servants when you marry into the Prince's Mansion, so we specially sent you a head nanny and two personal maids. These three are family children in the mansion and are trustworthy and reliable."

When He Shulan saw Qiu Dong standing there, she couldn't help but tears up in her eyes. In her previous life, in order to destroy her reputation, her stepmother arranged for several big men to stop her carriage on the road on the day of her mother's death while she was out at the temple to pray, and tried to kidnap her.

In order to save her, Qiu Dong stopped the big man who wanted to kidnap her, but was beaten to death. She felt guilty for the rest of her life. She stepped forward and held Qiu Dong's hand.

The warmth of his palm made her tears fall uncontrollably.

This frightened Qiu Dong, who had just arrived at the He Mansion, so much that she knelt on the ground: "Miss, if I did something wrong, you can tell me, don't cry."

He Shulan wiped away the tears from her eyes and helped Qiu Dong, who was kneeling on the ground, up: "I was so happy to see my uncle and aunt that I cried with excitement."

Bai Fei looked at He Shulan in astonishment. They had been here for so long, why was she so excited that she was crying now? He waited for He Shulan to calm down and said, "It's getting late. Your uncle and I will go back first. If you are not happy with your marriage to the Prince's Mansion, come to your aunt and she will help you."

"Ok!"

He Shulan saw her uncle and aunt off and met Chen Lerong on the way back to the yard. It seemed like she was waiting for her on purpose, but she ignored her and continued walking towards the yard.

Chen Lerong hurried forward to stop He Shulan: "Did your uncle and aunt come to your house to add some jewelry to your house? I saw that they only brought a small wooden box, which can't hold many pieces of jewelry. They usually pamper you so much, but they just pretend in front of us."

He Shulan sneered. As soon as her uncle and aunt entered the house, they were spotted by Chen Lerong. If she wanted to find out about the dowry her aunt gave her, she would forget it. "It's not much, but the gift is small but the sentiment is great." After that, she ignored Chen Lerong.

Chen Lerong looked at He Shulan's back as she left, her face flushed with anger. Her plan to cheat the dowry from He Shulan failed again.

The wedding day soon arrived, and the Prince's Mansion sent 64 boxes of betrothal gifts, filling He Shulan's yard.

The gate of He Shulan's courtyard was crowded with servants of the He family. Everyone gathered together and had different opinions. She was marrying into the Prince's Mansion, and the He family not only did not dare to covet her betrothal gifts, but also added thirty boxes.

Soon this news reached the ears of Chen Lerong and He Shuzhen, who were both very angry. He Shuzhen looked at the thirty-two boxes of betrothal gifts scattered around the yard, which were barely put together, and her face turned ugly.

After all, Liu Chen's family background was there, so it was impossible for her to give so much dowry. She was so proud that she could only add some betrothal gifts herself so that her marriage would not be so embarrassing in the eyes of others.

In order to vent her anger for her daughter, Chen Lerong found He's father and said, "When Shulan marries into the Prince's Mansion, she must have her own people around her, so that it will be convenient to do things. She doesn't have many servants around her, so why don't we give her a few maids and nannies as a dowry."

Father He felt that what Chen Lerong said made sense and should not be looked down upon by the people in the Prince's Mansion: "You go and arrange this matter, and help Shuzhen select a few personal maids."

"Okay." Chen Lerong excitedly found Madam Liu, and then randomly selected a few maids in the backyard and came to He Shulan's yard.

She found He Shulan who was putting on makeup and said, "Shulan, these are the dowry maid and maidservant your father gave you."

He Shulan turned her head and saw several maids standing there. They were dressed simply and were the humble servants in the mansion. Madam Liu standing next to them made her wary. Madam Liu not only had a background but also had some tricks. She was Chen Lerong's confidant. If she kept Madam Liu by her side, she would be asking for trouble. "No need. My aunt has prepared a madam and maids for me as a dowry."

Chen Lerong stepped forward and wanted to continue persuading her, but was stopped by Chun Xia: "Madam, today is the eldest lady's big day, you should not make things difficult for her here. The eldest lady said that she already has a dowry maid and a maid, and she doesn't need you to prepare any more for her. She appreciates your kindness, please leave now."

This made Chen Lerong angry: "Who are you to dare to talk to me like that?", and then she stepped forward and pushed Chunxia away.
