Chapter 723
Zhong Jie squeezed Huo Zhao's hand tightly: "Zhao Zhao, your mother doesn't want you to wrong yourself at any time. Now that you like Prince Shen, we'll marry him. But if he dares to wrong you in the future, your mother will bring people and break down the gates of the Marquis's mansion to bring you home. So—"
Before she could finish speaking, Huo Zhao threw himself into her arms.
Huo Zhao's body trembled slightly; he was clearly crying.
Zhong Jie put her arm around her and patted her back with one hand: "So, may you be happy forever."
"Mother......"
Zhong Jie's eyes were also glistening with tears.
But she didn't let Huo Zhao notice anything amiss, and patiently coaxed him.
Once Huo Zhao calmed down, Zhong Jie had also composed herself: "Let's go write a letter to your parents and tell them to come back soon!"
After Chen Zongwen and his wife left, they kept in touch through letters. Not long ago, Zhong Jie said that Huo Zhao's wedding dress was almost ready and the wedding date was approaching. The Chen family wrote to say that they should let them know when the wedding dress was ready.
Now is the time.
The mother and daughter had only taken a few steps when a servant rushed in to report that Chen Zongwen and his wife had returned.
The mother and daughter exchanged a glance, then turned and walked away together.
As soon as I reached the door, I saw Chen Zongwen and his wife busily unloading their luggage.
They called it luggage, but it was actually several large suitcases that looked quite old.
This couple has always traveled simply, so it's rare to see them with such a large entourage.
"Be careful, everyone!"
Chen Zongwen was worried and followed the box all the way.
Huo Zhao asked curiously, "Mother, what is that?"
"This is your dowry," Madam Chen said with a smile. "In terms of value, it certainly can't compare to the Prince's mansion. We'll send it over in advance."
"My dowry?" Huo Zhao's eyes widened. "Mother, when did you save up this? I had no idea before."
"You little brat, what could you possibly know when you were so young?"
The group walked into the mansion.
Madam Chen said, "We've been saving for you since you were little, hoping to save enough for your wedding so you could have a grand occasion. But now that we're in Luoyang, that's probably not going to happen."
These large boxes might not seem like much in Luoyang, but in Qingshui Village, they would definitely belong to a wealthy family who could do whatever they wanted in the village!
Speaking of which, Mrs. Chen sighed a bit.
Huo Zhao took her arm: "You've been saving this up for so long? What is it?"
"nothing."
Madam Chen said, "It's just the rare books your father collected over the years, as well as the antiques and paintings he collected before."
Hearing Madam Chen's words, Huo Zhao couldn't help but secretly click his tongue in amazement.
Her father's identity is not simple. What kind of rare treasures must be the ones that her father has noticed and carefully collected?
Those several boxes full of stuff, did you give them all to her now?
No wonder Chen Zongwen was so worried just now, and he went in with the box.
This is the culmination of Chen Zongwen's life's work!
Zhong Jie was also secretly surprised.
She had long known that the Chen family treated Huo Zhao as their own daughter, but she never expected that the Chen family would go to such lengths for her even though they knew Huo Zhao was not their biological daughter!
