Chapter 295 Have you seen this good thing?
"Lin Qingjun, do you think you're proud of marrying Ji Chenchuan? Let me tell you, yesterday my father promised me a dowry of 10,000 yuan and 500 acres of fertile land."
"Oh, by the way, not only did my father give me these things, but the Qi family also gave me a dowry of eight thousand taels and two fine shops."
"Do you think you can suppress me just because you become the Crown Prince's Consort? I tell you, that's absolutely impossible. I will keep you under my feet for the rest of your life. I will never let you get ahead. You, Lin Qingjun, were born for me. If I tell you to live, you live. If I tell you to die, you die."
Lin Yingxue was wearing a pink palace dress, with thick powder on her face to cover up the bruises from yesterday's beating. She looked so crazy that she didn't look like a daughter of an official family at all.
"Yingxue, why are you still here? Hurry up and cover your head with the veil. People from the Prince's Mansion will be here soon."
Madam Qi came over in a pretentious manner, twisting her waist and taking brisk steps.
"Oh, Qingjun, you're here too. Why don't we go over and take a look? Let's see how your eldest sister's dowry looks like?"
"But it's useless even if you go. You don't understand those devices. Let me tell you, your stepmother is really something. Even though she's a concubine's daughter, she should at least teach her a lesson. Don't make a fool of yourself by mistaking fish eyes for pearls. It's okay in the Lin Mansion and no one dares to say anything. But you are going to the Wu'an Marquis Mansion. If you make a fool of yourself, your entire Lin Mansion will be embarrassed."
Madam Qi was full of sarcasm.
Xieyang Xiaotao was angry, she was clearly here to make the young lady uncomfortable.
Lin Qingjun wasn't angry. She smiled and said, "Madam Qi, this is my Lin Mansion's business. It shouldn't be your turn as an outsider to interfere, right? You said that a concubine's daughter like me has no good judgment. Do you think the concubines in your courtyard have good judgment?"
Madam Qi's face darkened. "Lin Qingjun, we are talking about your business now. Why are you bringing this up with the Qi Mansion?"
Lin Qingjun's smile deepened. "Madam Qi, you and my mother have always been superficially on good terms. Now that my sister has become the Crown Prince's concubine, you should be very happy and proud to see her make a fool of herself. And that old Madam Qi wasn't very kind to my mother. You could say she hated her for dying. But now, not only has someone from your Qi Mansion come, but they've also sent such a generous dowry?"
She raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Then why don't you let me guess why you're doing this? Has something happened to your Qi Mansion? A big one, that needs to be resolved with the help of the Crown Prince? Did the Princess say something? Or is the Queen Mother also showing signs of suppressing your Qi Mansion?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, that's true. If I were the eldest princess and the others, I would also suppress you. Old Madam Qi only gave a few sips of milk, but you made the eldest princess and the queen mother endure such grievances for so many years, and let your Qi family use this as an excuse to be so arrogant for so many years?"
"Madam Qi, if I were you, I would definitely not come here right now, and I would rather be as far away from the Lin Mansion as possible. Do you think you can rely on the Crown Prince's influence? But don't forget how Lin Yingxue got this Fengyi. Do you think the Crown Prince would lend this influence to the grandfather's family of a woman who climbed into his bed? And why are you so sure that the Crown Prince would offend his own aunt and grandmother because of a mere Fengyi?"
Lin Qingjun laughed, "Oh, I really don't know what you are thinking. How could you be so foolish as to think so? Wasn't your old Madam Qi very smart? She was able to marry her stepbrother as a stepdaughter, force her stepsister-in-law to death, and torture her remaining children. So why hasn't she thought about this now? Isn't the royal family the Qi family, and isn't the empress dowager the Madam Qi of the past?"
this?
When Madam Qi heard this, she gasped.
She looked in disbelief at the cold and beautiful woman in front of her, who was half a head taller than her, and was horrified.
How could she know? No one had ever told anyone about the Qi Mansion. Although they knew that the Princess and the Queen Mother were taking action against them, they wanted to save the Qi Mansion. However, the more they tried to save the Qi Mansion, the faster it fell. They originally had 2,000 acres of fertile land, but now only 1,000 acres were left. They originally had 20 shops, but now only 5 were left. And the men in the Qi Mansion who served in the court were also suppressed by the upper front one by one to the point of being almost breathless.
When Mrs. Qi heard this, her eyes rolled back and she fainted. When she finally woke up, she heard the news that Lin Yingxue had become the Prince's attendant. She summoned several senior masters to discuss the matter, and they all felt that this was an opportunity. They really wanted to use the Prince to ease the relationship with the eldest princess and wanted to restore the glory of the Qi family.
For this, they gritted their teeth and gave Lin Yingxue a dowry of 5,000 taels. As the saying goes, you can't catch a wolf without risking your child, right?
Madam Qi shook her head. "What do you, a concubine's daughter, know? Yingxue is the Crown Prince's concubine, and we are her family. Besides, my Qi family has been prosperous for so many years, so we must have some wealth. Even a rotten boat still has three thousand nails. The Crown Prince will definitely speak up for our Qi family for the sake of the eldest princess, right?"
"Oh, Lin Qingjun, are you jealous of Yingxue? I tell you, even if you become the Crown Prince's Consort, you can't surpass her. Also, my Qi Mansion won't pay a penny for your wedding. Who allowed you to humiliate Yingxue like this?"
She pulled Lin Qingjun directly to the dowries.
There were sixty-six boxes packed full.
"Fifty-six pieces of cloth, including ten pieces of the finest brocade and twenty pieces of silk."
"Those three boxes are all tea. Ten cans of Biluochun, twenty cans of white tea, and five boxes of Taihu Longjing."
"Look at this now. Four sets of head ornaments and ten sets of bracelets made of gold, jade, and silver. They are all made by famous artists."
"Lin Qingjun, have you ever seen such a good thing?"
Not to mention her, even she was moved when she saw all these. She really didn't expect that Qi and Old Lady Qi would spend a huge amount of money for this Fengyi.
"Among these things, especially the hairpins, each one is worth no less than ten taels."
Ten taels! I’m afraid she has never seen ten taels of silver in her life?
Every time Madam Qi said something, she would mock her.
Lin Yingxue also smiled complacently, "Aunt, why are you talking to a concubine's daughter about this? There are so many things she hasn't seen. Lin Qingjun, you see, this is something you, a concubine's daughter, can't even envy. So, what can you use to fight me? Even if you become the Crown Prince's Consort, what can you use to maintain your position?"
"Madam Qi, Miss, someone from Marquis Wu'an has sent something over, saying it's for our young lady."
At this moment, the servant came over with a joyful look on his face to report.
Madam Qi was even happier. "Haha, it really is God's help, Yingxue, look, the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion has come to add to your beauties. Quick, let them in. I want to see what good things the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion has sent."
