That Princess, But With a Temper?

Su Wenying transmigrated, only to find herself marrying a supposedly insane prince who was supposedly blind and physically weak.

Rumors claimed this prince had slaughtered over a dozen co...

Chapter 7 Money or Freedom

From the backyard to the front hall, Su Wenyuan was dazzled by the sight of box after box of dowry.

Open any box, and you'll find it filled with fabric. The fabric is laid out flat in the box, shimmering and sparkling, as if coated with moonlight, clear and translucent.

Su Yuan's eyes were brimming with heartache; he was already regretting it! He wanted to take the box back.

But with that jinx Sheng Jingyu sitting here, there's no way he can move back.

Su Wenyuan opened another box, which contained a series of small boxes. One of the boxes was filled with black beads, all of which were round and similar in size.

"What is this?" Su Wenyuan didn't recognize it and turned to ask Yuexiu.

Yuexiu shook her head as well. The two of them looked so unsophisticated that Su Yuan gritted his teeth in frustration.

How did such a good thing end up in her hands?

Fearing that Su Wenyuan might misuse them, Su Yuan quickly explained, "These are black pearls, extremely rare in the world. It took decades to gather these, and they have been passed down from generation to generation. Even if you searched the entire Anchuan Kingdom now, you might not be able to find this many."

Su Wenyuan was amazed; this small box of black pearls was enough for her to earn for several lifetimes.

Besides, there are so many boxes of rare treasures here! Isn't this a windfall?

Sheng Jingyu reminded her, "Prime Minister Su also brought a dowry list; Your Highness can take a look."

Ignoring her leg injury, Su Wenyuan snatched the form and examined it carefully.

Sheng Jingyu continued, “Your mother was the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Anle’s family, so her marriage was naturally grand. Later, the Marquis of Anle betrayed the country, but the Emperor did not hold a grudge against your mother, so the dowry was left behind. Now, Prime Minister Su should hand over the dowry to you.”

Su Yuan nodded reluctantly and said, "Yes."

Su Wenyuan's mouth was practically stretched to the back of her head in a wide grin. Had she become so rich so suddenly?

But what she didn't expect was that Sheng Jingyu would throw a bucket of cold water on her.

"Now that the Princess has seen them, I have ordered them to be put away. Meng Qi, prepare one hundred taels of silver!" Sheng Jingyu said with regret, as if he were lamenting the departure of the Princess.
