The mother and daughter talked as they walked, and Lanqin led Bechuk toward the study.
Bechuk showed no displeasure at Lanqin's offer to prepare dowries for her three younger sisters. On the contrary, he was very grateful to Lanqin and said with emotion, "Mother, if my three younger sisters knew that you had such a kind heart, they would definitely be moved..."
Lanqin smiled gently and said softly, "I only did what I could. You will have to rely on yourselves for the rest of your lives..."
Thinking about her upcoming marriage to the Feng family, Biechuke suddenly felt a pang of worry and timidly asked, "I've never left my mother before, and now the thought of going to a strange place terrifies me. What if I don't make it?"
Lanqin covered Bechuk's mouth and said earnestly, "People are all made of flesh and blood. As long as you treat others sincerely, they will naturally not let you down..."
Bechuk nodded blankly and followed Lanqin into the study. Lanqin walked to the desk, opened the drawer, but reached to the top of the drawer, groped around for a bit, and took out a small box.
Lanqin opened the small box, took out a stack of silver notes, counted them, and handed them to Biechuke: "This is an extra 600,000 taels of silver that your mother has prepared for you to keep on your own. Keep it safe, it will come in handy when you go to your husband's family in the future..."
Holding the silver notes, Bechuk asked Lanqin curiously, "Why did you give my sister 500,000 taels, but I only received 600,000 taels?"
Lanqin put the box away and looked at Biechuk's innocent and naive appearance, and couldn't help but complain: "You're about to get married, how come you don't have any thoughts about yourself?"
Bechuk stuck out her tongue and said coquettishly, "But I have a mother..."
Lanqin had no choice but to explain carefully, "Your sister, Wuxiha, lives in her own princess's residence. She has no parents-in-law, no brothers or sisters-in-law, so she naturally lives a comfortable and carefree life. But you are different... After your wedding, you will go to the Feng residence with your husband. Once you leave, you will be far away from the capital. Even if your mother wanted to help you, there would be nothing she could do. Only by giving you more money can you feel at ease..."
Bechuk said "Oh," and then realized, "Mother is right..."
Lanqin sighed, "Besides, the Feng family you'll be living in will be a large clan. Your husband will have many brothers and sisters, and you'll also have to live with your parents-in-law. If you don't have some confidence, I'm worried you'll be bullied..." As she spoke, Lanqin seemed to feel a pang of sympathy and said to Bie Chuke with tenderness, "I objected at first because I was afraid you'd be wronged, but you've already made up your mind, so naturally I support you..."
Bechuk hurriedly comforted Lanqin, forcing a lighthearted smile, "Mother, don't be sad, I understand... My husband treats me very well, and besides, I am a dignified Princess of the Great Qing Dynasty, who dares to bully me? I'm the only one who bullies others..."
Lanqin smiled through her tears and said earnestly, "When you go to your husband's family in the future, you must change your willful and unruly personality. Your in-laws won't be as tolerant of you as your mother is. You can't let your mother and your father down..."
Bechuk nodded, nestled in Lanqin's arms, and Lanqin continued, "Also, you must be filial to your parents-in-law, kind to your brothers and sisters-in-law, and have the spirit of a princess. Don't be timid. Your mother knows you'll need to take care of more things than Wuxiha, which is why I'm giving you an extra 100,000 taels..."
Bechuk's nose tingled, she held back her tears, and nodded with a smile through her red eyes, "Yes, daughter understands... Mother, don't worry..."
