However, Han Luoxue never expected that she would be so shocked by the scene outside the shop.
The neat rows of bright red chests and boxes were so numerous that they couldn't fit in the entire storefront.

This is... a dowry?
Although Han Luoxue didn't have a dowry when she got married, they just had a simple meal together. But you can tell from the color that there are at least eighty of these. She roughly counted them, and there were at least eighty of them.
