Chapter 551: Can’t Embarrass the Xiao Family

"Miss, you are truly the best lady in the world." Luo Kui hugged Xiao Jiuyue's arm and looked up at her with eyes full of gratitude. She said a little embarrassedly, "Miss, then, I can eat anything?"

"Of course, as long as your stomach can hold it." Xiao Jiuyue's gaze fell on her flat belly. This girl is a big eater on weekdays. I don't know how she can stay so thin with so much food in her stomach?

"Then my stomach might be full, and I'll be able to eat my fill then." Luo Kui grinned happily, hugged Xiao Jiuyue and wanted to kiss her, saying, "Miss, your reward is really what I want!"

Fengchunlou, eat ten meals!

It's enough to cover her monthly salary. Miss, you are so kind-hearted. Those who talk nonsense really deserve a beating.

Well, Fengchunlou, she is here, she wants to eat ten hot pot meals, especially meat rolls and tripe, her favorite!

"You're drooling." Xiao Jiuyue reminded with a smile.

Luo Kui quickly reached out to wipe her mouth, only to find it was clean. Suddenly, Luo Kui's eyes widened: "Miss, you lied to me, how could I drool?"

“Hahaha~”

Xiao Jiuyue and Lianxin beside her were both overjoyed. The rumors had almost no effect on Xiao Jiuyue. She went to see her grandmother and Su Su on purpose, fearing that her grandmother and mother would be sad and upset after hearing these rumors.

As soon as I arrived at my grandmother's yard, I heard laughter from the house. Someone said, "The dowry list is a little thin. We should add a few more things."

"She likes to play the piano. A few days ago, the eldest brother bought her another piano and included it in the dowry list." Old Madam Xiao added, "We'll also get a matching piano table. Then she can play wherever she wants."

Shang Lan also chimed in, saying, "Mother, sister-in-law, it's just right. My brother specially brought over a batch of new brocade. This time, they've added a few new colors. It's just perfect. We'll add 66 bolts of each color."

"Yue'er is getting married. As her aunts, we have to prepare a complete dowry, otherwise, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the Xiao family?"

Aunt Xiao San, Mrs. Nian, also smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, winter is coming, which is just right. I asked someone to find some high-quality leather materials and some jewelry."

Aunt Xiao San was talking, and she also echoed, saying: "There are also farms and real estates. We need to buy more for Yue'er."

"Yes, I have a few shops here. I'll let Yue'er take them over when the time comes." Shang Lan said impatiently, fearing that Xiao Jiuyue would be wronged.

She was very grateful to Xiao Jiuyue. Not only did she allow Xiao Jiachen to go to school like Xiao Jiayuan, she also hired a good teacher like Jiang Tanhua for Xiao Jiachen. Xiao Jiachen's future will definitely be bright!

Moreover, her ability to become the second wife of the Xiao family was closely related to Xiao Jiuyue. Therefore, she and the second master had agreed that this time the wedding must be held in a grand manner with plenty of dowry, so that Xiao Jiuyue would have more confidence in her husband's family in the future.

"Second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, I want to thank you on behalf of Yue'er. You two aunts have given her so much." Su Su knew very well that if nothing had happened to the Xiao family, the dowry and other things given by Fan from the second house and Nian from the third house would definitely not be so much!

Shang Lan and Nian looked at each other, their goal was clear, thank Xiao Jiuyue.

Old Madam Xiao sat in the main seat, her eyes narrowed with smiles. The greatest hope of an old person is to see the younger generations getting along harmoniously, and to see everyone working together to make Yue'er's marriage a grand occasion. She was in a particularly good mood.

In other families, people are afraid to spend money, but when it comes to the Xiao family, everyone is rushing to give more gifts.

Not only was Old Madam Xiao happy, but even Cui Yao, who was standing beside her, felt an unprecedented happiness. During these days of marrying into the Xiao family, Cui Yao often felt that she was too happy, and her happiness was not at all secure!

Her parents-in-law never bullied her, and her mother-in-law even treated her like her own daughter. She felt a favor and motherly love from her mother-in-law that she had never felt before.

Although her grandmother didn't care about things, she was very tolerant of her and often praised her.

There is no need to say more about her husband, Brother Xiao. Except for the matters in the boudoir that make her a little tired, Brother Xiao always goes along with her in everything else. Sometimes, Brother Xiao will remember a small thing she mentions.

very nice.

Cui Yao looked at the scene in front of her and remembered it deeply in her heart. She silently reminded herself that in the future, she must be a good wife of Brother Xiao and must not bring shame to Brother Xiao or the Xiao family.

"Grandma, mother, second aunt, third aunt." Xiao Jiuyue walked into the house with a smile. She was worried about rumors before, but now she felt that her worries were unnecessary. They were busy with her marriage and probably didn't have the time to pay attention to the rumors outside.

Okay.

Xiao Jiuyue thought about her crying mother. If she knew that people outside were slandering her like this, she would probably cry countless times.

"Yuer, you came at the right time. Take a look, is there anything missing from the dowry list?" Su Su handed over the dowry list while talking about the things Shang Lan and Nian wanted to add.

Xiao Jiuyue looked at the gold, silver, jade, silks, and various jewelry. The long list of things made the dowry list seem particularly long. She said, "Grandma, Mother, there are already more than enough things on here. When the time comes, will a hundred bags be enough to carry it all?"

Xiao Jiuyue expressed her doubts. She didn't know how much more things were added to this dowry compared to the one hundred loads she saw at the beginning.

"It's okay, just pack it full when the time comes." Nian said, "Yuer, you will be Princess Ling from now on. You will need money to deal with all the social interactions and bribes you have to make."

"Yes, those scattered gold leaves, silver peanuts and the like are all prepared for you." Shang Lan agreed.

Su Su nodded in agreement and said, "The palace is not like the Xiao family. Although there are fewer masters, the maids, servants and guards under them all need money to be employed. How can we get by without these things?"

"Yu'er, listen to your mother and the others on this matter." As soon as Old Madam Xiao opened her mouth, Xiao Jiuyue knew that these things could not be changed, so she said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

When talking about marriage, everyone was discussing it enthusiastically. Su Su was afraid that Cui Yao would be unhappy and make comparisons, so she praised Cui Yao several times.

Xiao Jiuyue listened to it and thought silently, apart from the fact that her mother was a crybaby, she was really good at taking care of household chores. She treated Cui Yao as her own daughter with sincerity, and Cui Yao treated her well too. So she wouldn't have to worry about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the future.
