It was precisely because the younger cousin of the Prince of Jianchang, like Lady Jianchang, had also set her eyes on the dowry brought by Wen Xiaoman, that she silently took the blame for the dirty water thrown at her by Lady Jianchang after she said those words with extremely obvious implications.
However, she was willing to marry into the Earl's Mansion at the cost of sacrificing her own reputation, and was willing to take a step back in public and be inferior to Wen Xiaoman. But Wen Xiaoman was still unwilling to endure this disgust.
She still had the same expression as before, but the words she said made the faces of the Jianchang Earl and his wife and the Jianchang Earl's son's little cousin change instantly.
She said, "Since your prince and his cousin have a deep bond, and it's already been settled, I won't get involved and act like the villain who breaks up the couple."
This time, she did not stop because of the dissuasion of the wife of the Earl of Jianchang. She took her brother's hand and ordered the servants who came with the dowry, "Go and have someone carry out my dowry."
A small part of her dowry had been carried into the backyard of the Earl's Mansion. At this moment, Wen Xiaoman didn't know that the courtyard prepared for her by the Lady of Jianchang was not the one where the Crown Prince's wife should live, but another one separated from that one by a corridor and two flower gardens.
Her aunt and her cousin who were in charge of escorting her to the wedding had already noticed something was wrong and were now grabbing the servants from the uncle's house to ask what was going on.
The servant who was stopped by them was trying to make excuses with his head down, not knowing that the maid who came with the dowry and was sent by Wen Xiaoman to deliver the message had already rushed over aggressively.
When they told her the whole story, Wen Xiaoman's aunt was furious.
Like Wen Xiaoman, she was also raised in the care of the current head of the Wen family. The only difference between the two before they got married was that she did not have the business talent that Wen Xiaoman had.
The Jianchang Marquis' Mansion allowed the Jianchang Marquis' son's cousin to come in at the same time as Wen Xiaoman did. This was clearly an intentional bullying of the Wen family.
If they endured this kind of neck-pinching, Wen Xiaoman's aunt believed that every girl in the Wen family would be bullied like a cabbage in the coldest days of winter at her husband's house.
Can she tolerate this?
Aunt Wen, who was burning with anger, simply waved her hand and ordered people to carry out all the dowries brought by the Wen family in the same way.
The servants in the Bo Mansion who were trying to fool the Wen family were all stunned when they saw what happened.
They were not the heirs of Jianchang Marquis who were kept secret by his wife. As the lower class people in the Marquis's mansion, they were the first to feel the tightening of the mansion's expenses when the financial situation was not good.
Now that the God of Wealth is finally coming to the Bo Mansion, they don’t want him to fly away again.
Everyone rushed over to stop the Wen family, but Wen Xiaoman's aunt was very aggressive. Without saying a word, she asked the maid to push aside the servants from the Bo's Mansion who had just been trying to evade them.
Those old women were big and strong, all of them were her trusted confidants brought from her parents' home to her husband's home as dowry. They always beat them wherever Aunt Wen pointed.
Not to mention pushing the servants of the Jianchang Marquis's mansion, if necessary, they would even dare to push the Jianchang Marquis and his wife.
The women of the Wen family who were accompanying the bride rushed out of the inner courtyard in a rage and met up with Wen Xiaoman and the men of the Wen family who were waiting for them in the outer courtyard. They ignored the obstruction of everyone in the mansion and forced their way out of the Jianchang Marquis' Mansion.
This time, the guests invited to the wedding banquet were truly eye-opening.
For the first time, they saw a young man from a noble family marrying two wives at the same time, and one of them was completely unaware.
It was also the first time that they saw a bride regretting her engagement on the spot, and her uncle, who held a sixth-rank honorary title, actually took the marriage certificate and went straight to the yamen to accuse the man of marriage fraud.
Although this honorary sixth-rank title was obtained through financial ability, with this real sixth-rank official rank, the Wen family at least do not have to be beaten with sticks for suing officials.
Of course, the Jianchang Marquis' Mansion was unwilling to see the God of Wealth that they had finally brought in just turn around and fly away. Although the Jianchang Marquis and his wife did not dare to force them to stay in front of the guests, they kept persuading and stopping Wen Xiaoman and others during their departure.
The wife of the Earl of Jianchang even offered Wen Xiaoman the condition that she should marry the younger cousin of the Earl of Jianchang's son far away, so that she would never be able to interfere with Wen Xiaoman and the Earl of Jianchang's son in her life.
However, no matter what she said, Wen Xiaoman insisted on breaking off the engagement with the Jianchang Marquis's Mansion.
It's not that she is unreasonable, but she knows very well that when it comes to childhood sweethearts and cousins, there will always be a second one, and if there are two, there will always be a third one.
The most important thing is that even if those people with bad hearts finally act normal due to the situation, they will immediately go back to the wrong path when the situation becomes slightly more favorable to them.
Wen Xiaoman didn't want to be caught up in the wolves' trap, so she decisively chose to give up the marriage.
The reason why she did not return to the Wen family but lived in a nunnery was because the Jianchang Earl's Mansion had never given up.
The duck that was about to be caught actually grew new feathers and flew away just before it entered their mouths. This was too unrealistic for Earl Jianchang and his wife.
Lady Jianchang was upset that she had misjudged the Wen family's temperament, and she wanted to send the little cousin of the Prince of Jianchang back to her own home as soon as possible.
However, the Prince of Jianchang disagreed. The crying cousin softened his heart. He insisted on marrying his cousin, saying that if he sent his cousin back, not only would her reputation be ruined, but the Earl's Mansion would also become a laughing stock.
Upon hearing the news, Jianchang Bo's sister and brother-in-law rushed over, but they also refused to take their daughter back home, and they had very good reasons.
"If you hadn't said that, sister-in-law, I could have married my daughter off to someone else. But now my daughter's reputation has been ruined. If you still don't let her marry my nephew, then I can only send her to be a nun."
Jianchang Bo's sister wiped her tears as she spoke, and her husband kept sighing beside her, which made it difficult for Jianchang Bo and his wife to ask them to take the person back.
However, the wife of the Earl of Jianchang did not agree to let her little cousin get married with the Prince of Jianchang. She used the reason that the guests had left and the auspicious time had passed, and she vaguely passed the idea of the Prince of Jianchang getting married.
As for my little cousin's family, they, like the wife of the Earl of Jianchang, all hoped that Wen Xiaoman would change her mind, so naturally they would not insist on taking the title at this time.
The two families reached a tacit understanding, and the wife of the Earl of Jianchang began to adopt a conciliatory policy towards the Wen family, especially Wen Xiaoman. The Wen family was troubled by this, and Wen Xiaoman even hid directly in the nunnery.
The Wen family had no way to deal with her dog-skin plaster, and they were afraid that if they refused too many times, the Jianchang Earl's Mansion would secretly resort to trickery, so they started to make preparations and use connections.
