ABA Chapter 8

Happy Welcoming (3)

Qin Yu was once married to Lu Yining, but he had no interest in it at that time, so everything was prepared by the clan, and he only participated in the wedding banquet. He just showed his face.


But this time, he couldn't be careless. After all, this was his wedding, and it would definitely be the only wedding in his life.


Asking Mama Zhao to sort the goods in Duan Wangfu's warehouse, Qin Yu looked at the long list and underlined many items: "This is after being sorted and packed. When the people from the Zongren House come tomorrow, let them add them to the betrothal gifts that should be sent home, Duke Lu."


Mama Zhao glanced at it and was shocked. Duan wang donated half of his family's wealth!


"Send it off with great fanfare. There is no way Mr. Lu would be greedy for my things." Qin Yu noticed the housekeeper's expression, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "It is important for him to prepare more dowry to accompany this betrothal gift." Because of what happened before, Qin Yu changed his mind about Duke Lu, but he still hated Princess Rongyang. In his life, this person had always been very close to Qin Yao and Xiao Guifei.


Even though he married her eldest daughter to him, the eldest princess Rongyang did so to cause trouble for him. In the following years, she relied on his mother-in-law status to repeatedly cause trouble for him... Of course, he did not stay silent. He showed no mercy to her son. When he gained power, he sent Princess Rongyang's eldest son to Jiangnan, a place where there were frequent rebellions, to be a minor official. He also removed Duke Lu Gu's official position. Since then, the family has behaved well.


Mama Zhao saw Qin Yu's expectations and the flash of disgust in his eyes, and she was suddenly unsure of his attitude toward Duke Lu.


Qin Yu notices this and taps his finger twice on the wheelchair: "Mama Zhao, Princess Rongyang keeps giving me trouble. I'm so bored with her, but she is my elder after all, and we can't be rude."


"Yes, Your Majesty." Mama Zhao immediately said.


"As for Princess Anhui, no matter where she was born or whether she is mentally handicapped, from the moment she married me, she is my wife. You should treat her as a wanfei and respect her without neglect." Qin Yu said again. He had said this in his previous life. At that time, he didn't bother to embarrass the mentally retarded woman, but now, he didn't want her to be wronged.


"Yes, Your Highness." Mama Zhao immediately understood, and Shou Xi behind Qin Yu heard it too.


A few days later, the betrothal gifts from Duan Wangfu were brought and delivered grandly to Duke Lu's Palace.


The people who brought betrothal gifts were all brought by the clan. At first, they brought a few people, so they couldn't bring all the gifts, so in the end, they had to add a lot of people.


In a restaurant on the side of the road, several young scholars were sitting on the second-floor drinking. They had a view of the entire team carrying the betrothal gifts. They were shocked: "There are rules for the betrothal gifts prepared by the Zongren Palace. This time, the ones brought from Duan Wangfu are very... I'm afraid Duan wang himself gave half of the betrothal gifts."


"Why does Duan wang care so much about this marriage?" Other scholars were equally shocked.


"Duan wang behaves like this, he is a role model for our generation!" A scholar suddenly shouted: "I and other men should not embarrass stupid women like that."…


  Rui wang Qin Yao left the palace early today.


He wanted to see how the people outside made fun of Qin Yu, but he did not want to hear what these scholars had to say, and his face turned ugly.


Qin Yu married a fool, yet someone praised it?


"Milord, please don't be angry. At most, Duan wang can only gain a good reputation. Apart from that, what else can he gain?" said a counselor next to Qin Yao.


Qin Yao thought about it and realized that was indeed the case. Although Qin Yu has gained a good reputation now, he has gained nothing else... Princess Rongyang is on their side. Qin Yu had no hope of getting favors from Duke Lu, and he could no longer rely on marrying a wife to find someone who could support him. Having a stupid wife also makes Qin Yu move further away from the highest position.


"Qin Yu shows that he cares deeply for this fool, but who knows what he is thinking in his heart? This prince will wait for the time to talk to him about Princess Anhui more after he gets married. His face will definitely look very good by then ." someone else said.


When the time came, Qin Yao thought of Qin Yu's face, and his mood immediately improved. When the servant came in to refill the water, he motioned to the people around him to give him a small grain of silver.


"Xiaoer, what do you think about Duan wang's marriage?" Qin Yao asked with a smile when Xiaoer thanked him.


The servant is also a good boy, so naturally, he will not comment casually: "Master, I'm just a servant in the shop. What can I think? I just think it's nice to be a relative of the emperor. Look, there is so much gold and silver. Even if you do nothing for the rest of your life, you will have enough to eat and wear."


Qin Yao burst out laughing after hearing this.


Qin Yao's mood had improved, but on the other side, Princess Rongyang changed her face: "You want to give the Zhuangzi outside the city to that fool as a betrothal gift? This is absolutely not allowed!"


The person who spoke to Princess Rongyang was her husband, Duke Lu. Duke Lu was quite handsome, but in recent years, his face always looked tired: "Then what do you think about ?" 


"She has been granted the title of Princess of Anhui, and the clan house will prepare a dowry for her. Why do you still need to add more dowry?" When the words 'Princess Anhui' were mentioned, Princess Rongyang's expression was a little ugly. After giving birth to her eldest daughter, she gave birth to two more sons and one daughter, and her little daughter was the child She loved most. Daughter, her darling, might not be called a princess in this life, but Lu Yining, who was stupid, had become one. How could this not make her depressed?


"Duan wang sent so many betrothal gifts, but we can't return any of them?" Duke Lu frowned tightly.


"So what?" Princess Rongyang asked.


Duke Lu's face became more and more tired. He stared at Princess Rongyang for a long time and finally said: "Princess, why did you have to get involved in the fight between Duan wang and Rui wang?"


  "I'm doing this for our family." Princess Rongyang said Duan wang had no chance of ascending the throne. Helping Rui wang now will definitely benefit their family in the future.


She was Emperor Yongcheng's sister, and she had status in front of Emperor Yongcheng. But in the future, when the new emperor ascends the throne… If she still wants the status she has now, couldn't she show her support for the new emperor earlier?


Princess Rongyang's face was full of stubbornness. Seeing her like this, Duke Lu became more and more tired and finally said: "Princess, since you don't want to give your daughter a dowry, let the Lu family prepare a dowry for her, and I will add a little more."


"How dare you!" Princess Rongyang said angrily.


"Princess, our Lu family must not offend Duan wang!" Duke Lu finally became angry and flung his sleeves.


Princess Rongyang looked at Duke Lu's back but couldn't help but scold him for being cowardly. Duan wang is just a loser, so what is there to be afraid of?


However, even though she was angry, Duke Lu still persisted, so she couldn't stop him. Moreover, she couldn't humiliate Duan wang directly. After all, Duan wang still helped Emperor Yongcheng handle government affairs...


"What happened to that fool?" Old Princess Rongyang suddenly looked at the nanny beside her.


"hse was locked up and there was never any problem again." The nanny beside Princess Rongyang said immediately, thinking of that girl, she felt a little depressed. When the eldest girl was just born, the princess loved her very much, but unfortunately then...


"As long as she doesn't cause trouble, just lock her up tightly and give her a bowl of porridge every day. Don't let her have the strength to cause trouble again!" Princess Rongyang became angry when she thought of that fool. She used to hate her eldest daughter, but now she hates her so much.


If it weren't for this daughter, how could she lose so much face? Even her son's marriage was ruined...


After all, Duke Lu prepared quite a large dowry for his eldest daughter.


If Duan wang was not interested in the wedding, he might not have prepared so many things for his stupid eldest daughter, but Duan wang had sent so many betrothal gifts so that he couldn't help but react at all.


It was August 28th. The autumn air was cool, the wind was light, and the sun was shining beautifully.


Princess Anhui married from duke lu's Mansion with ten miles of red makeup and was welcomed into Duan wang's Mansion.
