Chapter 128

Yilanyuan quickly received the dowry list from Mrs. Yu.

Dou's relationship with Xie Xingchen has not eased in the past few days, and she is not in a good mood.

After getting the order, he glanced at it with a frown.

I thought that Mr. Yu wouldn't come up with anything good, so I already frowned, but when I saw the first few things, I couldn't help but widen my eyes.

Coral and bright jade standing lamps, rainbow treasure trees, phlogopite colored enamel vases...

These are all treasures in the warehouse!

Mrs. Yu was actually willing to take out these things to make a dowry for Xingchen?

Dou's face was complicated and unpredictable, and she suddenly understood: "Yes, yes, even if she doesn't like Xingchen, there is also an uncle in front of her. How can the uncle ask Xingchen to marry him unjustly?"

It must be Xie Wei who asked Yu to prepare well.

Even if the jealous woman is unwilling, she still has to take out the good things and make a dowry for her star!
Mrs. Dou immediately felt a little better. She took the dowry list and went to the door of Xie Xingchen's room, signaling her grandma to knock the door.

"Xingchen, come out and take a look. They have sent a dowry list over there. They are all good things." Mrs. Dou called softly.

There was some rustling noise in the room.

After a while, Xie Xingchen opened the door.

Her brows furrowed slightly, and the events that happened one after another made her furious.

Now she was watching herself getting worse little by little, but she was unable to solve it.

I have been feeling quite exhausted these past few days.

"Look." Mrs. Dou handed over the order, her tone was soft, and there was even a bit of flattery on her face, "Don't be angry with mother."

"After looking at the things given over there, we, mother, will take a closer look and see if there is anything missing, mother will make up for it for you."

Xie Xingchen said indifferently: "Why, if the big room prepares enough for me, do you plan to do nothing?"

"Of course not!" Mrs. Dou quickly explained: "Mother has already prepared it for you... What I mean is that after you have seen the big room, there is something prepared by mother. If there is anything you like, mother will make up for it."

Xie Xingchen said nothing, turned around and went into the room, sitting at the table and reading.

Mrs. Dou also came in and sat with her, "Mom took a quick look and found that they are treasures that have been in the warehouse for a long time. I took them from her before, but she still kept holding them and was reluctant to let go."

Mrs. Dou smiled proudly when she said this, "Now that she sees that my son is going to marry into Prince Liang's palace, she dares to show off even if she dares to neglect him."

Xie Xingchen frowned: "These are all big items. They all look extremely expensive, but they are not useful."

"What?" Mrs. Dou was stunned for a moment, "How can these be of no use? You put them in your own yard, they will be so magnificent that no one dares to look down upon them."

Xie Xingchen had a stern look on his face, "What's the use of all the splendid displays? Don't I live in Prince Liang's Mansion? Can I survive with just these things?"

Mrs. Dou was stunned again and snatched the order from Xie Xingchen's hand. After taking a closer look, his face gradually became gloomy.

She had only read the previous page, and thought that since Mr. Yu was not willing to prepare large items, she must also be indispensable for the dowry, clothes, silks and satins.

Who would have known that this list is just a decoration from beginning to end.

What conch, flower pot, pine cabinet.

There are a lot of miscellaneous things, but as Xie Xingchen said, none of them are useful, they are really just for good looks!

Snapped!
Mrs. Dou immediately slapped the table and stood up, "That's unreasonable. Mom, go find her to argue!"

Xie Xingchen said nothing and watched Dou leave angrily.

... In Chunhe Building, Xie Zhaozhao had just left.

She went to practice making bronze figures again.

Mrs. Yu herself was sitting in the room, doing some unskilled needlework.

Now that she has a granddaughter, the baby looks really cute and amiable, and she wants to do something for her with her own hands.

Even if it doesn't look good, Xie Jiajia definitely won't dislike it.

"Sister-in-law!" Mrs. Dou rushed in from the outside like a gust of wind, and naturally her mother could not stop her.

As soon as she entered the house, she said solemnly: "What on earth do you mean?"

"What do you mean?" Mrs. Yu said lazily, "Aren't you the most well-behaved person? What's going on now? You rushed in on your own without waiting for anyone to tell you, and then led you in?"

How could Mrs. Dou have time to discuss the rules with her?
She threw the dowry list on the table in front of Yu Shi, "You prepared these ostentatious things for Xingchen. Did you do it on purpose, right?"

"How come these things are not useful?" Mrs. Yu said expressionlessly: "These ornaments are placed in the courtyard, don't they look comfortable? These are precious objects saved at home!"

"I took it out for the sake of the master, and endured the heartache. If you don't want it, just prepare it yourself!"

Mrs. Dou sneered: "Xingchen is from the Xie family. You, the mistress of the Xie family, don't prepare a dowry for Xingchen. I don't know how many people outside are poking at your spine, saying that you treat the widowed second wife harshly."

Yu became angry all of a sudden.

Haven't you indulged them enough over the years?

Now it is natural for them to suck the blood of the big house!
Although the items on the dowry list were not real gold and silver, they were indeed rare gold and precious items.

Yu was heartbroken to take it out like this.

Mrs. Dou actually came over and shouted dissatisfied.

Mrs. Yu stood up with a snap, her eyebrows raised, "You—"

"lady!"

The nanny beside her quickly supported Yu, "Don't be angry, don't be angry."

When Mrs. Yu was shouted out like this, she remembered what Xie Zhaozhao said at that time and swallowed her anger hard.

Mrs. Dou was so shocked that she subconsciously took half a step back, but now she saw that Mr. Yu suddenly lost her temper, but she felt confident in her heart.

Yu Miaoyan's attitude must have been explained by Xie Wei.

Mrs. Dou sneered and said, "Which girl marries her husband's family with only a bunch of ornaments? She can't live her life just looking at these ornaments."

"It's hard for you to say." Yu said with a cold face, "What else do you need to live your life?"

"Of course it's the dowry, clothes, silks, gold and silver." Mrs. Dou had already thought about it on the way here. "The dowry must not be empty, and the jewelry must not be missing, so that you can dress up brightly when you go to the palace."

"When the time comes, if His Highness Prince Liang likes me, it will be a good thing for our Xie family."

"As for clothing, there are generally at least ten sets of clothing for all seasons. From the inside to the outside, new satins need to be prepared. Occasionally, there are fashionable styles in Beijing. Don't we cut new clothes?"

"There is also silver. In addition to large ingots, you must also prepare some scattered silver and small banknotes."

"The palace is no better than the Xie family, and you won't be able to reward people after you leave?"

Mrs. Dou said coldly: "My sister-in-law is also married to a daughter. Wasn't she well prepared at that time? She even prepared groups of servants for Jiajia."

"Why do you pretend not to understand when it's time for Xingchen to get married?"
