Chapter 349 The Young Lady's Dowry Has Arrived

Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Wu broke free from Wu Qin and He's grasp, her face darkening as she rushed forward and roared at the Liu family, "Have you said enough? You..."

Before Wu could finish speaking, she was pulled back from behind. Just as she was about to break free, she heard Min Yuexi's calm and composed voice coming from behind her.

"Mother, stop making a fuss."

With red eyes, Wu slowly turned around, her eyes filled with pain.

Min Yuexi patted Wu's hand and handed the person over to Wu Qin and He, then bowed to the Liu family and said, "Are you all trying to embarrass me or to slap the Third Prince in the face by causing trouble?"

Although the Liu family disliked Min Yuexi, they would only say a few sarcastic things behind her back and cause her some trouble, which was the limit.

They wouldn't be foolish enough to say anything in front of Min Yuexi.

Upon seeing Min Yuexi, the Liu family members all abandoned their contemptuous and teasing attitude. The eldest aunt of the Liu family even said in a gentle tone, "Oh dear, why did you come here in person? This is not proper. Besides, everyone here is an outsider, there's no need for you to personally entertain us. You should go back now."

Mrs. Liu pursed her lips and forced a smile, agreeing, "Yes, you should hurry back to your room."

"I have nothing better to do anyway, so I'll show you all my dowry."

Min Yuexi said bluntly, "Oh, by the way, weren't you all just commenting on my dowry?"

As she spoke, Min Yuexi walked to the box that Liu San's wife had touched earlier, rummaged through it, and then said to Liu San's wife, "My Xuanping Marquis's mansion is very poor and cannot fill my dowry box properly."

"Since Madam Liu feels this is not good, how about you make up for the missing satin in this dowry?"

Before Madam Liu could speak, Min Yuexi pointed to the brocade that the eldest aunt of the Liu family had previously complained about for its outdated pattern and said, "Madam Duan said that the patterns of these satins are outdated, which probably means that she thinks that these satins would embarrass the Third Prince if used as dowry."

"How about I ask Madam Duan to provide me with a few bolts of the latest floral satin as part of my dowry?"

"In this way, we can show Madam Duan's affection for the Third Prince, and the Third Prince won't lose face. I'll also benefit. Isn't that killing three birds with one stone?"

These words left everyone present speechless.

That eldest daughter of the Min family is so shameless!

People complained that her dowry was too poor, and she not only didn't feel ashamed, but she even used this as an excuse to ask people to provide her with more dowry.

Good heavens, I've never seen anyone with such thick skin!

Even Wu Shi, Wu Qin, and He Shi couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Min Yue Rui and Su Rong Rong, who came with Min Yue Xi, watched everything with smiles on their faces.

Seeing that the Liu family remained silent, Min Yuexi knew she had no intention of letting them go.

If she backs down today, what will happen when she marries the Third Prince? Won't these members of the Liu family take advantage of their seniority to humiliate her to death?

"Oh dear, why are you all so quiet? Don't you have the money to buy a few bolts of fine satin? Or are you just reluctant to spend such a small amount of money?"

A few bolts of satin are indeed not worth much; the cheapest ones are only twenty or thirty taels. Even the best ones are only a hundred or two taels at most.

However, the Liu family members are not fools. Why should they pay this money just because of a few words from Min Yuexi?

Besides, is this a matter of money?

They said a few unpleasant things and were forced to take out money to apologize.

If word gets out, won't they lose all face?

No matter what, they are the Third Prince's elders. If they pay this money today, how will they be able to act like elders in front of Min Yuexi in the future?

"Miss Min, we were indeed in the wrong in this matter. But I advise you not to go too far!"

The eldest aunt of the Liu family frowned and said in an unfriendly tone, "No matter what, we are your elders. What good will your aggressive approach do for you or the Third Prince?"

"Don't forget, you and the Third Prince aren't married yet!"

Madam Liu, standing nearby, immediately brightened up. "Exactly! They're already so disrespectful to their elders before they're even married. What will happen when they actually marry the Third Prince and become his consort?"

"In my opinion, we should hurry back and ask the Third Prince to reconsider this marriage!"

If the marriage could be called off, her daughter might still have a chance.

Faced with their threats, Min Yuexi sneered and said disdainfully, "Then you can go back and ask the Third Prince to cancel the wedding."

"Anyway, I've already broken off two engagements, so I don't mind breaking off a third."

Upon hearing this, the Liu family members' faces immediately darkened.

One of the reasons they disliked Min Yuexi was that she had broken off her engagement twice.

They couldn't understand why the Third Prince had to fall for a woman like Min Yuexi!

Before they could figure it out, Min Yuexi sneered arrogantly, "Heh, I just don't know if the Third Prince will do as you wish."

The Liu family's faces darkened even more.

If the Third Prince could be persuaded by them, how could things have come to this?

There are only two days left until the wedding! To say we're canceling it now is just ridiculous!

Just as Min Yuexi was putting the Liu family in an awkward position, a maid suddenly ran in from outside the door to deliver a message.

The maidservant called out with a beaming smile, "Miss, Miss, the dowry that the old lady prepared for you has arrived!"

"What!?" Min Yuexi exclaimed in surprise, "What did you say?"

Madam Wu was overjoyed. "The old lady has prepared a dowry for the eldest daughter?"

The young maid nodded with a beaming smile, "The old lady has prepared a lot of dowry for the eldest young lady! Steward Yang is leading people to move the dowry into the mansion right now."

As they were talking, the steward of the manor politely led Yang An toward the flower hall.

Behind the two were people carrying the dowry chests.

Upon arriving at the flower hall, the steward of the Marquis's residence directed the servants to arrange the dowry. Yang An stepped forward with a smile and handed a thick booklet to Min Yuexi.

"Young Miss, this is the dowry list that the old lady prepared for you. Because of the short notice, the dowry has been delivered a little late. Please forgive us."

Min Yuexi took the dowry list but did not open it to look at it.

At this moment, her eyes were filled with tears, and her heart was filled with emotion.

Her grandmother eventually softened.

The way she treated her in her past life... After being reborn, her grandmother repeatedly emphasized that she would no longer care about her.

But when the time came, her grandmother still thought of her.

Wu, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but snatch the list from Min Yuexi's hand and eagerly opened it to take a look.

Upon opening the document and seeing the sheet, which was longer than her outstretched arms, Wu trembled with excitement.

"Thank God, thank you for still remembering my Xier! Thank you, Grandma!"

"Xier, look, this is all the dowry your grandmother prepared for you! So much! So generous!"

"Great! Great! Let's see who dares to complain about your dowry now!"

Wu muttered incoherently, then took the list and ran off to help the steward of the Marquis's mansion arrange the dowry that was being carried in.

"Put this here, put that there..."

The once empty flower hall was soon filled with one large box after another.
