Chapter 104: The Poor Dowry Infuriates the Crown Princess and Her Family
Even the fact that her daughter is not a virgin is brought up for discussion?
Mrs. Chen, the Prime Minister, was so exhausted that she almost fell to the ground.
But this is the fact, the matter is already settled, and the girl’s family is bound to suffer a loss!
But Mrs. Chen, the Prime Minister, couldn't swallow this humiliation!
She was about to scold the betrothaler again when the maid came to announce, "Madam, Madam Guan Yi is here."
Madam Guan Yi?
Madam Chen had been at odds with Madam Guan Yi since she was a young girl. Now she is the mother-in-law of the current crown prince, while Madam Guan Yi's daughter married the third prince and became Princess Duan.
Now he has become a political enemy...
The two of them became even more confrontational!
How could Mrs. Chen, the Prime Minister, be willing to let Mrs. Guan Yi laugh at her own mistakes?
She hurriedly waved her hands impatiently at the housekeeper of the second house who came to propose marriage, "Come on, come on, put down the betrothal gifts and get out!"
This is what I agreed to.
The housekeeper of the second room nodded and bowed and left.
Here, the housekeeper of Prime Minister Chen's family quickly directed the servants to hide the shabby six-load dowry in the nearby wing.
As soon as they hid, Madam Guan Yi and her entourage marched into the courtyard of the upper house in a mighty manner.
How dangerous! Mrs. Chen, the Prime Minister, pressed her chest with a handkerchief, took a deep breath, and then walked to the yard to greet him:
"Oh, what brings Madam Guan Yi to our house? She is such a rare guest."
He is a rare guest, who only comes once a year.
Madam Guan Yi didn't beat around the bush. She raised her chin and smiled, "I heard that your future son-in-law has come to propose marriage, so I came to see what good things he has given me."
Mrs. Chen, the Prime Minister: …
I knew she had bad intentions!
Fortunately, I hid the meager betrothal gift in advance, otherwise I would have been so embarrassed!
Now that the real thing is gone, can't we just leave it to the Prime Minister, Mrs. Chen, to make up stories?
Mrs. Chen just made up a story: "If you want to marry my daughter, how can you give less good things? There are five thousand-year-old ginsengs alone! Not to mention the gold and silver jewelry and Shu brocade, which are worth thousands of gold. They were carried one after another, and almost dazzled my eyes..."
Tsk tsk tsk, when it comes to lying, it’s really... just talking nonsense with your eyes closed!
Madam Guan Yi was also visibly startled.
She had heard that the second branch of the Marquis of Jingyang's Mansion was very poor, so how could they offer so many good things as a betrothal gift?
Just at this time, Chen Daiyu heard that the marriage proposal was coming, and she ran to the upper room curiously to see what good things were there. After listening to her mother's nonsense, she believed it to be true.
"Mom, do you really have so many gold and silver jewelry?" Chen Daiyu loves beauty and cares most about jewelry. She took Mrs. Chen's arm and asked coquettishly.
Mrs. Chen was unwilling to lose face in front of Mrs. Guan Yi, so she immediately gave her affirmation:
"A lot, of course a lot, red gold phoenix hairpins, red gold earrings and bracelets, and red coral head ornaments, everything you can think of."
Now Chen Daiyu was happy!
I thought to myself that my ridicule of Fu Jingxuan that day was not in vain, as he really cared more about me now!
So willing to offer a marriage proposal!
Her face is so shiny!
So much face!
"Mom, where is the betrothal gift? I'll go take a look right now!" Chen Daiyu asked proudly.
Mrs. Chen:…
Her heart choked and she really didn't want to answer this question, but with Madam Guan Yi around, if she hesitated for even a moment, it would be obvious that she had something to hide.
She could only force herself to say, "Housekeeper, take the young lady to have a look."
After all, Chen Daiyu is her own daughter. Even if she finds out that the betrothal gift is wrong, she won't sabotage it in front of her mortal enemy, Madam Guan Yi, right?
After her daughter left, Mrs. Chen invited Mrs. Guan Yi to come into the main hall and sit down.
Unexpectedly, before I could even sit down, I saw Chen Daiyu running over angrily, yelling:
"Mom, how could you team up with Fu Jingxuan to deceive me?"
"What a bunch of gold and silver jewelry, what a bunch of thousand-year-old ginseng, what a bunch of Shu brocade! I didn't even see their shadows! There were only six loads of worthless pots, pans, and stools..."
"Mom, Fu Jingxuan bullies me, but you also bully me?"
Mrs. Chen:…
Seeing this useless and outspoken little daughter, I just want to slap her to death!
Madam Guan Yi just burst out laughing, and that smug laughter couldn't be covered even with a handkerchief.
While laughing, he did not forget to look at Mrs. Chen, admiring the wonderful expression on her face.
At this time, Chen Daiyu didn't know how to read her mother's face at all and kept making a fuss!
Mrs. Chen, the Prime Minister, who has always been very proud and has been competing with Mrs. Guan Yi all her life, was not pissed off to death by the shabby betrothal gift before, but now she is being angered to death by her little daughter who is trying to sabotage her... She fainted!
Fell straight back in the armchair!
With a "bang", the back of her head hit the solid wooden chair back, making a loud noise!
In an instant, the maids and servants were in chaos. Some rushed forward and pinched the Ren Zhong, some shouted for doctor, and the whole place was in chaos.
Chen Daiyu was still immersed in her unsatisfactory betrothal gift. She was so angry that her face turned red and she stomped her feet fiercely.
Seeing Chen Daiyu's unfilial look, Madam Guan Yi laughed sarcastically: "The Prime Minister's family education is really eye-opening... The upper beam is crooked and the lower beam is crooked!"
After saying this, Madam Guan Yi twisted her waist, turned around and walked out of the Prime Minister Chen's house with a smug look on her face.
It was as if she had just watched one of the most heart-stirring operas in history. Mrs. Guan Yi laughed exaggeratedly and couldn't stop giggling.
The mocking laughter spread all the way.
~
Within two days, the news that the Prime Minister's wife, Chen, fell ill because of the meager betrothal gift spread to the Marquis of Jingyang's mansion.
Second wife Qiao was a little flustered. When she heard that her son had returned from duty, she hurried to his room and discussed with him, "Jingxuan, how about... paying back the expensive betrothal gifts?"
There is nothing valuable here, they are all just fillers, which is really unacceptable.
Unexpectedly, Fu Jingxuan took the can of snow cream given by the Chen family from Duobao Pavilion, and rubbed it on the scar on his neck, saying disdainfully:
"What are you going to make up for?"
"Mrs. Chen fainted from anger. It was Mrs. Guan Yi who did it. What does it have to do with us?"
"Mom, if you have that spare money to make up for the betrothal gift, you might as well buy a few more pounds of beef and grill beef skewers for your son again!"
Speaking of the extremely delicious beef skewers, Fu Jingxuan couldn't help but lick the corner of his mouth with the tip of his tongue, his eyes full of nostalgia.
Seeing the nostalgic look in her son's eyes, Second Mrs. Qiao felt distressed all of a sudden. Her son was right. If she had the spare money to support the Chen family, she might as well buy her son two more servings of beef.
From then on, the issue of additional betrothal gifts was never mentioned again.
Anyway, Chen Daiyu’s body has already been given to her son, and the cooked duck can’t fly away!
Then just pick an auspicious day and marry her!
What else is there to supplement?
~
The quarrel between the Prime Minister's Chen family and the second branch was widely publicized by Madam Guan Yi, and the whole capital knew about it. Naturally, Fu Yuzheng also knew about it.
This evening, when Fu Yuzheng was taking a bath in the tub, she suddenly heard from Nong Yue that "the second wife would never give up the betrothal gift, no matter how hard she tried." She burst out laughing:
"If you ask me, Chen Daiyu and Fu Jingxuan are really...a perfect match!"
"One is stupid and bold, the other is petty and stingy!"
"Tsk tsk, after the marriage, won't there be chaos all day long? Will it tear the roof off the second room?"
Nong Yue took a towel and gave the young lady a bath, and said with a smile: "Young lady is right, in a few months, the second house will have a lot of trouble."
The master and servant chatted and laughed while quickly finishing their bath.
After Nong Yue helped the young lady put on her bellyband, she brought her a gauze smock and put it on, which was very cool in the sultry early summer.
Fu Yuzheng stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself carefully. She saw that the light green gauze dress was translucent, and the light green bellyband inside was clearly visible.
This outfit...
It was so familiar that Gao Ni's figure flashed through her mind. That night, he was drugged by Princess Yuehua and came to hold her down and make love with her for half the night.
That was the first time they slept in the same bed. She refused to let him touch her breasts, so he bit her green bellyband with his teeth, and the bellyband was damaged...
Recalling the past, Fu Yuzheng couldn't help feeling ashamed. Seeing her cheeks turning red in the mirror, she dared not look in the mirror again. She walked out of the bathroom and returned to the bedroom.
As a result, as soon as she stepped into the inner room and looked at the bed where she had slept together, she missed Gao Ni even more.
"I don't know what Brother Ni is doing in the southwest. He hasn't returned to Beijing in half a month."
Her brother Fu Linghao was also stranded in the southwest and did not return.
While she was missing her, she received an invitation from the Crown Princess, saying that the red lotus in the East Palace was in full bloom, and invited her and her sister Fu Yushuo to the palace to appreciate the lotus.
Oh, one person was missed. The fourth girl from the second house, Fu Yuxuan, was also invited.
This lotus viewing banquet was something that had never happened in my previous life.
The young eunuch who delivered the invitation smiled and said, "The Crown Princess has invited many noble ladies this time... Cui Jiaojiao from General Weiyuan's family is also going..."
When Fu Yuzheng heard that Cui Jiaojiao (the heroic girl whose ruby was stolen by Liu Qing'er, who was forced to marry by Gao Yan's mother, and who finally kicked Gao Yan and Fu Yuyao off the stone arch bridge and into the lake) was also going, Fu Yuzheng's eyes lit up.
She hasn't seen her good friend Cui Jiaojiao for a while and misses her very much.
Two days later in the morning, the Fu Yuzheng sister and the fourth girl Fu Yuxuan, the three of them rode in a carriage into the palace for a banquet.
~
East Palace, bedroom.
When she woke up this morning, Crown Princess Chen Daiqiong's eyes were full of pride. She had finally found a fault with Su Liangdi yesterday and put her under house arrest for nearly half a month!
Not only did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not blame her, he even stayed in her room last night.
Thanks to her diligent service, the prince had sex with her... twice last night. Who knows, maybe she will get pregnant this time.
Caressing her belly, Crown Princess Chen Daiqiong's eyes and brows were filled with joy.
At this time, her sister Chen Daiyu came with a pout.
It is said that the Prime Minister Chen has many daughters, but the other three are concubines. Only Chen Daiyu is a biological sister from the same mother, so the Crown Princess Chen Daiqiong loves her very much.
Seeing her pouting, Crown Princess Chen Daiqiong held her hand and asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Which villain has made my precious sister unhappy again?"
Chen Daiyu snorted heavily: "Who else could it be? It's Fu Yuzheng's family! Six loads of worthless rotten things dare to come to our house to propose marriage, and make mother so angry that she is still bedridden!"
When Crown Princess Chen Daiqiong heard this, the smile between her brows disappeared instantly.
Of course she knew about the betrothal proposal. It was Su Liangdi who deliberately revealed it in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and her words were full of ridicule for bringing shame upon her family.
To be honest, what the Marquis of Jingyang Mansion did was really shabby and shameful!
At this time, Chen Daiyu muttered again:
"Fu Yuzheng's family is really worthless. They knew that the second wife had no money, but they didn't even help her!"
"Fu Yuzheng's mother is the daughter of the richest man in our Great Zhou Kingdom. Even if she has a little money leaking out from between her fingernails, it's enough for her to come to our house and propose marriage in a grand manner!"
Speaking of this, Crown Princess Chen Daiqiong was also quite annoyed. If Tao Ying was willing to lend a hand, even if she gave a little to the Second House, why would she embarrass herself in front of the Crown Prince and Su Liangdi?
"Sister, when Fu Yuzheng comes to the East Palace later, you have to teach that stingy guy a lesson!"
Chen Daiyu is stupid and bold, and loves to stir up trouble. "Now she has been divorced by Gao Ni, and no one is protecting her!"
The Crown Princess is afraid of the powerful Gao Ni, but it is different when facing the Jingyang Marquis' Mansion. The Crown Princess is the monarch and the people of Jingyang Marquis' Mansion are the subjects.
There is a clear distinction between the ruler and his subjects.
She can clean up whatever she wants secretly. If she can't even do this, what's the point of being the Crown Princess of the Royal Family!
Just get divorced and go home to sell sweet potatoes!
As the two sisters were whispering, a palace maid came in and reported, "Reporting to the Crown Princess, the ladies of all families have arrived and are all gathered by the lotus pond."
"Oh, Sister Fu Yuzheng is here too?" asked Princess Chen Daiqiong.
"Replying to the Crown Princess, they have arrived for quarter of an hour," replied the palace maid.
Well, Crown Princess Chen Daiqiong stood up from the armchair. Four palace maids came over to help her tidy up her long skirt. Then she wore a bright yellow palace dress embroidered with gold phoenixes, walked out of the bedroom proudly and headed for the lotus pond.
