The villain who defeated the son of destiny was my father
Chapter 140 108 Dowry
"Grandmother, mother, I'm going to marry Li soon and become Princess Li, but my dowry..." Qu Xinzhu said here, looking at the two of them hesitantly.
The identity can be impersonated, but there must be no mistakes in the dowry.
On the day of her wedding, if she doesn't have a generous dowry, it would be embarrassing, but it might arouse Li's suspicion.
By then, she might be divorced before she even gets to enter the palace.
Therefore, she had to find a way to get the dowry, marry smoothly into the Prince Li's mansion, and get married.
As for what happened later, after everything was settled, she would sincerely apologize to Xiang Li and believe that he would understand her.
Qu Wenshi and Wen Suhua smiled knowingly.
The old woman smiled lovingly, "Silly girl, you are the only heir of our Qu family. How could grandma treat you badly? Don't worry, grandma has saved a lot of money over the years and has also prepared a generous dowry for you. I will definitely let you marry off in style!"
The Qu family had a prime minister, and there were countless people trying to curry favor with him. As the prime minister's mother, she received many generous gifts during festivals.
Not only her, but even the side branches of the Qu family and those who were slightly related to Qu Honglin became the objects of flattery.
Therefore, she was not short of money, but she came to Beijing in a hurry and under the pretext of going to live with her son, she did not bring much silver with her.
But it doesn't matter. She has already sent a message to her family, and someone will deliver the money and prepared dowry soon.
She must give Zhu'er, her only child, a grand wedding.
"Zhu'er, your grandmother has already prepared your dowry, and has ordered people to prepare it. It will be delivered from your family soon. When the time comes, we will send you off in style and will definitely not embarrass you, so you can rest assured." Wen Suhua had a smile on her face, but she felt sad in her heart.
My daughter is about to get married, but now she doesn't even have a formal status.
How long will that cruel man make her wait?
Hearing this, Qu Xinzhu became happy and asked hurriedly, "Grandma, how much dowry did you buy for your granddaughter? Tell her quickly."
When she read novels, she often saw the heroines getting married with a grand wedding, which made her very envious. Now that she had traveled through time, she wanted to experience it for herself.
"Exactly one hundred and eight. If Zhu'er thinks it's too few, your grandmother and your mother can go buy some more and add to the number." Qu Wenshi doted on her granddaughter so much that she would do her best to give her blood-related granddaughter whatever she wanted.
When Qu Xinzhu heard that there was so much dowry, she excitedly threw herself into Qu Wen's arms, "Grandma, you are so kind to your granddaughter."
One hundred and eight sets of dowry, she was really rich.
Such a large dowry would be the basis for her second half of life. Even without relying on Li, she could live the rest of her life in peace.
Of course, she is not so short-sighted and her goal is far from this.
After she becomes Princess Li, she will have to assist Li in his bid to become the ruler of the world, and she wants to be the most noble woman in the world.
Ambition grew rapidly in her heart, and greed appeared in her eyes.
"Silly child, you are the only heir of our Qu family. If grandma doesn't treat you well, who else can she treat well?" Qu Wen reached out and patted her back affectionately.
Qu Xinzhu raised her head, a little puzzled, "Grandma, what do you mean by this? Could it be that Qu Qingyan is not your granddaughter?"
"Zhu'er, of course she didn't..." Qu Wen was about to tell the truth.
Wen Suhua interrupted her and explained to the suspicious Qu Xinzhu: "Zhu'er, your grandmother has never liked the eldest daughter and is unwilling to recognize her as her granddaughter. Naturally, you have become her only granddaughter and the only heir of the Qu family."
After saying that, she looked at the old woman next to her and frowned, reminding her, "Mother, this is in the Prime Minister's residence, you must be careful with your words, otherwise if Lin Lang hears us, he will kick us out of the house again."
"Hmph! Who is Qu Qingyan? She is just relying on her father's favor. Apart from this, what else does she have? Today she actually dared to seduce Li. If I hadn't discovered it in advance, she might have resorted to some seductive tricks..." Qu Xinzhu no longer had any suspicions, and turned his spearhead towards the stunning woman, cursing.
Qu Wen looked at her daughter beside her and sighed, "Why are you doing this?"
The daughter couldn't let go of the unfilial son and was afraid that if she told the truth, it would implicate him.
But despite her compromise, the unfilial son never cared and didn't even look at her.
Wen Suhua lowered her head slightly, with a bitter smile on her lips.
In the corridor, a handsome man strode over, but he didn't see the stunning woman, and a look of disappointment flashed across his face.
He picked up the gift box on the ground and left quickly.
On the rockery in the distance, inside the pavilion, two figures stood side by side.
There was a man in black kneeling on the ground next to him, reporting something.
Having finished speaking, the handsome man waved his hand, and the man in black left like the wind.
"Dad, it seems that the Qu family has a lot of assets?" Qu Qingyan turned his head to look at the handsome man next to him.
In the previous life, the money that Qu Xinzhu used to do business came from an unknown source. Now that I think about it, it must have been the mother and daughter of the Qu Wen family who helped him behind the scenes.
In this case, the Nagqu Wen family has a valuable family business.
This is not good news.
Qu Honglin sneered, "Back then, the Qu family was just a merchant family, not even a third-rate family in the city. The little family business that was left was gradually swallowed up by uncles, leaving only two shops..."
If he had not used drastic measures to discipline the Qu family when he was young, the family would not even have enough food and clothing if they had only relied on Qu Wenshi, a woman who only knew how to live off her parents.
Afterwards, he passed the imperial examinations and made great achievements in officialdom. The Qu family also rose in status and became a large family.
"Dad, since the Qu family is what it is today thanks to you, it is only natural for you to take back something." After hearing his father's words, Qu Qingyan felt more confident.
Qu Honglin raised his eyebrows, "Yan'er wants the dowry?"
"My daughter doesn't like Qu Xinzhu, so I won't let her get married smoothly." Qu Qingyan responded straightforwardly.
She wanted to take revenge bit by bit and never let Qu Xinzhu have an easy time.
Qu Honglin smiled and said, "Okay, as long as Yan'er wants to do something, your father will support it. Your father will order someone to rob the dowry on the way."
"Money makes the devil work, but without money, even the devil won't open the door. In this case, please trouble my father to take back all the family property from Qu Wenshi." Qu Wenshi is Qu Xinzhu's supporter. In this case, she will destroy this supporter and leave Qu Xinzhu with no one to rely on.
Without the blessing of money, can Qu Xinzhu still be as generous as he was in his previous life?
Qu Honglin agreed without asking any more questions.
