There was nothing. Liu Yueru raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, then looked at the same place again.

Seeing her like this, Xie Jingrui looked in the direction Liu Yueru was looking with some confusion.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual there, he asked, "What's wrong?"

Liu Yueru retracted her gaze and shook her head gently: "Maybe I saw it wrong."

"Someone? Or?" Xie Jingrui frowned slightly.

"I don't know if it's because I was too tired that I saw a figure flash by there." Liu Yueru raised her hand and pointed in the direction where the person was just now.

Xie Jingrui's brows furrowed even more tightly.

He told Liu Yueru, "You go back first, I'll go take a look."

The words fell.

Xie Jingrui's figure quickly disappeared from sight.

Liu Yueru also turned around and went back to her room.

Princess Anlan also had an ignominious affair with Song Nanzhi, so the Queen even advocated a simple wedding.

At this time, Princess Anlan was beaming with joy as she said to her maid Ah Xiu: "My mother and father love me so much that they will definitely prepare a lot of dowry for me. Even if I go to the Marquis' Mansion in the future, the prince can use my dowry to restore the former glory of the Marquis' Mansion."

Ah Xiu had a worried look on her face and did not dare to agree with Princess An Lan. She knew very well that Song Nanzhi was not someone worthy of trust.

After she pondered for a moment, she tactfully said, "Princess, those dowries were originally your own things. Although you are deeply in love with your husband and have married your sweetheart as you wish, you should still be careful of those rumors about your husband favoring his concubines and destroying his wife."

Princess Anlan was deeply attracted by Song Nanzhi's sweet talk. She smiled and waved her hands, saying, "I have known Nanzhi for a long time and I know his character better than you do. What's wrong with a man having three wives and four concubines? When I marry him in the future, I will give all of you as concubines. With your support, he will be devoted to the Marquis' Mansion. How could he cause such a scandal? In the end, it was Liu Yueru who was too narrow-minded and jealous. That's why her husband left her heart and ended up in divorce."

Ah Xiuting's face became increasingly heavy. Looking at the princess who was talking to him incessantly and was full of longing for the future, Ah Xiu wanted to speak her true feelings, but felt a little reluctant.

It's just that she didn't agree with Princess Anlan giving all her dowry to Song Nanzhi.

The so-called love is only temporary. Whether two people can live together for a long time depends on each other's character.

If the man does not care about the other person at all, and after getting what he wants and using her, he is not far from being abandoned.

After all, once a woman gets married and has children, if she wants to escape from her original life, she has to gamble half her life and bear a bad reputation.

And what does it matter to men? They just need time to let everyone forget the ugly things they have done.

In the end, it is women who have to bear the bad stigma.

"Princess..." Ah Xiu looked at Princess An Lan and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

An Lan smiled and waved at Ah Xiu, saying, "Don't worry, although the Marquis' Mansion is in a bad state now, it will definitely get better in the future. In addition, Nan Zhi is also a motivated person, and I have great confidence in him."

Seeing this, Ah Xiu didn't say anything more.

Not long after.

The palace maid brought the Queen's dowry to Princess Anlan's palace.

Xie Anlan showed a happy smile on his face and took Ah Xiu to the front hall.

The nanny politely bowed to Xie Anlan, smiling faintly, and said, "Princess Anlan, this is the list of dowry. Please count it."

Xie Anlan glanced at the people around him.

Ah Xiu immediately understood and stepped forward to take the dowry list from the nanny's hand and began to carefully count it.

But as the boxes and items of dowry gifts piled up, Ah Xiu's face became worse and worse.

She looked up at Princess Anlan's delighted face, then turned to look at the nanny who came with the princess's dowry, and began to ask in a low voice: "Mammy, is this all the princess's dowry?"

The nanny glanced at Ah Xiu, who was always clever, and her face darkened. She said in a calm voice with a hint of smile, "This old servant is also doing things according to the master's orders. The princess's dowry has been written on the dowry list. If Miss Ah Xiu has checked it and the quantity is correct, then it is those."

Ah Xiu nodded slightly to the nanny, then took the dowry list and handed it to Princess Anlan.

At this moment, Xie Anlan didn't know what the dowry that the Queen gave her was. Seeing more than a dozen boxes of things placed on the ground, she thought they were all good things, so she gave A Xiu a look with joy.

Ah Xiu understood and took out a small purse from her waist and handed it to the nanny: "The weather is hot and you have worked hard, take this and have some wine."

The nanny left Princess Anlan's palace happily.

After the figure of the nanny left, Xie Anlan could not wait to pull Ah Xiu and ask: "What dowry did mother give me?"

Ah Xiu asked the servants to reopen all the boxes.

Among the fifteen boxes, five or six boxes were ordinary cloths, three boxes were beddings, two boxes were clothes, and two boxes were daily necessities, all of which were made of ordinary materials. The best ones were silver products. One box was thread, and one box was simple ornaments. The most expensive one was a complete set of gold-thread head ornaments. There were also two pieces of land and two shops that were not very profitable.

Xie Anlan looked at all the dowry given to her by the Queen.

His face turned pale instantly and his body swayed slightly.

Ah Xiu immediately stepped forward to support her: "Princess."

Princess Anlan turned to look at Ah Xiu in disbelief and asked, "My mother must have made a mistake. My mother and my father love me the most. When Liu Yueru divorced, my father gave her several shops with good income. How come my dowry is not as good as Liu Yueru's?"

Xie Anlan was about to walk out unwillingly, his expression becoming increasingly ugly.

Ah Xiu was also afraid that Xie Anlan would displease the emperor at this time, so she knelt in front of Xie Anlan and begged, "Princess, you can't go now. Nanny is the head nanny beside the queen. The queen is in charge of the six palaces, so I think she won't make a mistake. The emperor is also busy with the affairs of the northern border and is worried. In addition to the affairs of the Liu family, the emperor has no more thoughts now. Princess, you should calm down first. The wedding is still some time away. When you go to pay your respects to the queen another day, you can ask indirectly."

"But, the dowry is far from what my mother promised me. It's just a small amount and not worth much money. If I marry into the Marquis's Mansion, how will Nan Zhi look at me?" Xie Anlan's eyes were red with grievance, and she complained in a low voice.

Upon seeing this, Ah Xiu hurriedly sent away those unimportant servants.

Xie Anlan also helped Ah Xiu up from the ground.

Ah Xiu also knew why the Queen Mother only gave Princess Anlan such a small dowry. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was now in the process of fighting for the throne, so naturally he would need a lot of money.
