815 Betrothal Gift (4)


    Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other’s eyes.


    Why did it seem like… Prince Rui really liked Shen Miao?


    How was that possible? Shen Miao had only seen Prince Rui a few times!


    Luo Ling’s eyes were dark. He lowered his head and looked at the ground, deep in thought.


    !!


    Everyone in the room had different expressions, but Shen Miao’s reaction was calm. She nodded and said to Tie Yi, “Thank you.”


    Tie Yi said that he would send the things over in a few days before leaving.


    After Tie Yi left, everyone looked at each other. Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan had already sensed something unusual. If Prince Rui’s goal was to sow discord between the Shen family and the Ming Qi royal family, or to make the Shen family useless to the Ming Qi royal family, when the imperial edict was issued, he had already achieved his goal.


    Since he had already achieved his goal, everything else was not important. Why did he have to put on such a big show? No matter how much money he had, he would not give it to the Shen family unless the treasury of the Daliang Dynasty was overflowing with gold.


    Shen Qiu said angrily, “Prince Rui is up to no good, right? Does he think the Shen family is greedy for wealth? We’re marrying Jiaojiao off, not selling her. If we take so much money, who knows what others will think of us?”


    Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan were silent.


    That was true. Even the royal family would be envious of these betrothal gifts, let alone ordinary people. What was even more shocking was that these were sent by Prince Rui. Even those who had designs on these betrothal gifts did not dare to snatch it.


    Luo Tan smiled and said, “No matter what, it’s better for Brother-inw to be generous than stingy. It’s only right for a man to be willing to spend money on a girl. He’s willing to spend so much for Little Cousin. I believe he will dote on Little Cousin after marriage.”


    Shen Xin covered his forehead. “But where are we supposed to store these things?”


    “That’s right.” Luo Xueyan also said worriedly, “There’s no way we can fit so many things in our house. We can’t even fit jewelry and antiques in the storeroom. Do we have to build another storeroom in the mansion to store things?”


    Shen Miao wanted tough when she heard that. She said, “Didn’t he buy all those houses? After I leave, those houses will belong to the Shen family. How about putting the things there? Or else, you can move into Prince Rui’s mansion.”


    Shen Xin shook his head. “Yanqing Alley is not a ce for us to live.” That was where the royal family lived. If Shen Xin and the others lived there, who knew what outsiders would think? He thought of what Tie Yi said previously, and a trace of pain shed across his eyes. “After the new year, he will leave for Daliang. Jiaojiao, you…”


    After the new year, Shen Miao would have to go to Daliang.


    Everyone in the room fell silent.


    Separation, especially separation between family, was never a happy thing.


    Seeing this, Shen Miao was afraid that they would be sad again, so she quickly changed the topic and said, “Prince Rui has given us so many betrothal gifts. What about the dowry?”


    Luo Tan was feeling a little thirsty. She picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. When she heard this, she spat out a mouthful of tea and sprayed it all over Luo Ling. However, at this moment, she was not in the mood to care if Luo Ling was angry. Instead, she said, “Dowry? Oh my god!”
