Physician Wen realized she had misunderstood and quickly explained:

"No, no! I don't want to call off the engagement!"

"That's right, the wedding is in two days, and I plan to let my daughter take all the betrothal gifts that have been sent."

“There’s not enough room at home right now, so I was thinking of sending these betrothal gifts to the mansion in advance. Then the bride can just get into the sedan chair and leave, which will save a lot of trouble!”

The more Physician Wen explained, the more he felt that this method was feasible.

He stared intently at the matchmaker.

The matchmaker was furious. What kind of person was this?

So you think you're right just because you're ugly? Ugly people are always causing trouble.

He's a government official, after all!

This is outrageous! It seems like not a single dowry will be provided.

Even if you don't bring a dowry and only accept the betrothal gifts, you still have to wait until the wedding day to carry the bride around the street to show that you value her and give her some dignity!

This is completely disregarding the bride's feelings; it's bizarre.

The matchmaker's gaze towards Physician Wen changed; she could barely maintain her composure, her smile stiff and unnatural.

However, once Physician Wen opened his mind, he suddenly had a lot of ideas.

"Imperial Physician Wen, I can't make the decision on whether to send it back or not. Should I send someone back to ask Prince An for his opinion?"

"It's alright. Since it's been delivered, I'll make the decision. Just carry it along the path leading to the wedding, make a circle around it, and then carry it to the bridal chamber."

"Will this... work?" the matchmaker asked, somewhat reluctantly.

"Oh, right! When you go back, please tell His Highness Prince An that the banquet was held at his residence that day. I'll bring all my relatives and friends from here over. As you can see, my place is small and there's no one home. We can all go over there and have some fun! That should be fine, right?"

Physician Wen thought this method was brilliant!

Since we were out of money and had no one to manage things, we decided to go to Prince An's mansion, where we could have food and drink.

You can still receive the gift money.

The matchmaker's face darkened. It was one thing for her to not provide any dowry for her daughter's marriage, but now the groom's family was even expected to pay for the drinks?

commit a sin!

He whispered to him to think about it.

Despite the insistence of Imperial Physician Wen, she had no choice but to reluctantly direct the procession carrying the betrothal gifts, accompanied by music and fanfare, towards the Prince An's residence.

Before being granted the title of prince, Prince An lived in the palace. This time, with the hasty conferment of the title, no special palace was built for him.

The current Prince's Mansion is a temporary conversion of Consort Liu's private residence, with only the plaque changed.

The interior is still being decorated, as time is short.

The betrothal gifts at that time were still sent from the palace.

The journey attracted a large crowd of onlookers.

So on that day, the people of the imperial city watched as the lavish betrothal procession stretched out before the betrothal ceremony.

People are still sighing

"This is truly love! The betrothal gifts are incredibly lavish!"

"I know that Wen Nuan is indeed a kind-hearted girl."

"envious!"

"Envy +1"

…

Soon after, the same luxurious procession, carrying bright red gift boxes, returned along the same route.

"Um?"

? ? ?

Everyone followed the procession and watched as this luxurious entourage arrived at the Prince An's Mansion.

The crowd erupted in uproar again.

"Huh? What happened? Why did we come back?"

"Isn't this the Prince An's residence? What's going on?"

"Yeah, what happened?"

"The betrothal gifts were just taken out, why are they being brought back already? Does this mean the bride is not getting married? Wasn't this a marriage decreed by imperial decree? This shouldn't be happening."

"Yes! Let's go, let's go and take a look!"

"Let's go, let's go see!"

…

The Prince An's residence was also completely bewildered; the betrothal gifts were brought over and covered a large area of ​​the courtyard.

As soon as something happens here, someone immediately informs Prince An.

The matchmaker was in an uproar. As soon as she saw Prince An approaching from afar, she knelt down with a thud.

"Your Highness, I personally delivered the betrothal gifts this morning as you instructed, with music and fanfare all the way. However, Imperial Physician Wen came out to greet me and said that my home was too small to hold all these things. So…"

She glanced cautiously at Prince An in front of her, thankfully still having the strength to listen, and continued speaking.

"So Physician Wen suggested that since these betrothal gifts have already been sent, he should handle them. They will all be given to the Princess Consort to take with her. They should be delivered today in advance and placed in the bridal chamber. The bride will arrive in two days..."

Chu Tianyang didn't know what to say, and the butler and servants around him also fell silent.

Now that it's been delivered, we can't just carry it back.

well!

It's all too rushed and lacks thorough consideration. Otherwise, we should have thought of this earlier. If we had prepared a mansion for the Wen Nuan family in advance, this wouldn't have happened.

Chu Tianyang sighed softly, there was no other way now: "Someone, take these things to the new house, and we'll hand them over to the princess to manage after she enters the palace!"

Seeing that the person was about to leave, the matchmaker gritted her teeth and spoke again.

"Your Highness Prince An, please wait a moment, I haven't finished speaking yet!"

Chu Tianyang frowned: "Is there anything else?"

"Lord Wen said that the wedding banquet will not be held on the day of the wedding, and he wants to combine it with the An Prince's Mansion so that there will be more people and it will be more lively!"

The matchmaker lay prostrate on the ground, not daring to lift her head.

What a bad day! Why did I have to be the one to do this unlucky thing of passing on messages?

The housekeeper sighed with relief, "Luckily, I closed the door earlier so no one outside heard anything, otherwise who knows how the news would spread!"

He silently wiped the sweat from his brow.

Chu Tianyang patiently thought about it for a moment, then decided, "Fine, it's just a matter of having an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks, I'll put up with it!"

"I understand. Butler, please make the arrangements when you go down to assign seats, and prepare extra food for the day. You may go now."

After saying that, he left, his steps becoming heavier.

The matchmaker knelt on the ground and only stood up after the person had walked away.

I narrowly escaped death!

The steward quickly stepped forward and stuffed a red envelope into her hand: "Thank you for your hard work. His Highness Prince An has to take care of something and will be leaving now. This is just a small token of my appreciation. Please don't say anything bad about it after you leave!"

The matchmaker had been hoping to survive, and now that she was getting paid, she readily agreed.

Anyway, if I don't say it, people will understand when the wedding is in two days, so it won't bother me.

She readily took the money and left immediately.

A crowd had gathered outside the Prince An's mansion, waiting to get a piece of the story.

As soon as they saw the matchmaker come out, they quickly gathered around and started discussing it.

"Hey, what exactly happened to the Wen family?"

"Yeah, why did you bring all that stuff over here?"

"Tell me quickly!"

The matchmaker had so much to say, but having just received hush money, she was itching to speak but couldn't. She was so frustrated.

"Oh dear! Stop talking! No comment! Don't crowd here, Prince An is getting married in two days, don't spread rumors!"

The matchmaker shouted a couple of times, covered her mouth, pushed through the crowd, and ran away.

Leaving a bunch of people there guessing blindly.

Regardless of outside speculation, time marched on, and soon the wedding day arrived.
