The Anchang Earl's Mansion had not planned a grand celebration. In just over ten days, they had to arrange matters such as the Najib ceremony. Not only was the time tight, but a grand celebration would also cost a lot of money.
If she had a large fortune, she wouldn't need to have her youngest son scheme for a girl's marriage.
Moreover, she was an ugly, plain-looking country girl.
If this were when the late emperor was still alive, and her Anchang Marquis family was wealthy, this damned Lu Changping wouldn't even be worthy of carrying her shoes.
Not to mention entering the gates of her Anchang Marquis's mansion.
The thought that her son was as handsome as Pan An made Lady Anchang feel extremely cheated!
It seems she wants to find a concubine for her youngest son as soon as possible, so he can have a handsome, chubby boy.
Otherwise, if Zikun were to face Lu Changping's face all day, he would definitely cause trouble for her.
Lady Anchang returned empty-handed, accompanied by the matchmaker.
There were still a few people watching the play at the Marquis of Lin'an's residence who hadn't left yet.
This included three passersby who had deliberately followed along.
One of the passersby called out, "They've come out empty-handed. Looks like the marriage is settled!"
Just then, someone shouted, "An ugly, wanton woman and a lover who lingers in a brothel, they are indeed a perfect match!"
These words immediately drew malicious laughter from the crowd.
At that time, Madam Chen was unaware of the rumors circulating outside.
She took the betrothal gift list from Ding Wanyue and glanced at it briefly.

Even a child's half-year-old celebration would receive more gifts than this!
Upon hearing this, Old Madam Chen glanced at her indifferently and then said, "It's too late to get angry now!"
Those who fail to manage their people deserve this humiliation!
Immediately, Ding Wanyue stood rooted to the spot, not daring to move. She was in her own courtyard, and now that this had happened, she was bound to be suspected of dereliction of duty.
After a moment of silence in the hall, Madam Chen said, "You can prepare the dowry as you see fit."
As for the dowry, there's a rouge shop and a clothing shop in the East Market; the profits from those shops can be given to her.
She's not good at running a business, so you'll just help look after the shop, take care of the workers, keep 10%, and give her the rest.
Although Ding Wanyue felt sorry for those two shops, they had made a lot of profit in a year!
However, she did not refute it, after all, the shop was still in her hands, and how much profit it made was not up to her to decide!
