"The dowry is ready." The Prime Minister's wife interrupted him, a hint of guilt in her eyes, but a slight smile on her lips.
“I have always believed that Qianyue will return, so I have been adding to her dowry every year. Now I just need to take stock and see if I can add more based on the betrothal gifts.”
Qin Yi continued, "I started preparing the betrothal gifts two years ago, so it won't take too long to get things done now."
