For the first time, Lord Xu felt that his daughter was extremely greedy.
She frowned, her face full of impatience: "I'm just a concubine anyway, why do I need a dowry?"
"Besides the thirty acres of fertile land we bought at the back, the rest belongs to your sister."
"That rebellious girl, relying on the Crown Prince's support, will take back everything with the dowry list in three days."
"How can Dad afford to buy all these things for you? Even if I give you 10,000 taels of silver, you still need to use the money to make up for the ones you spend. I'm afraid the mansion will have to save money and increase revenue in the future."
Lord Xu was also feeling the pain, as he had to give away most of his wealth all of a sudden.
I don’t know how much money is left in the mansion.
Unable to bear looking at his daughter any longer, Lord Xu returned and summoned the housekeeper to sort out those things.
The prince's character was such that he didn't dare to gamble. If things weren't ready in three days, he was afraid that something bad would happen.
After returning to her room, Xu Jiner smashed everything in the room to pieces.
Aunt Wang had no choice but to watch while wiping her tears with her handkerchief.
"Why?"
"Mom, why should Xu Jinyi be given all those things just because she is the legitimate daughter? You want to send me away for ten thousand taels of silver. What can ten thousand taels do?" Xu Jiner grabbed her hair like crazy and screamed hysterically.
"Why didn't she die? Why didn't you kill her earlier, mom? What's the point of letting her live!" Xu Jin'er jumped like crazy and yelled like a dog.
"Shh, shh, shh... walls have ears." Aunt Wang quickly covered her mouth with a handkerchief to silence her rebellious words.
"My dear daughter, the dowry lady will find a way, she will definitely find a way."
Aunt Wang only has this one daughter, so how could she not think about her?
Three days later.
Li Jinchen personally brought two maids to count the dowry.
More than a hundred loads of dowry filled the entire opera house, and the two maids counted them one by one.
After the items were counted, they were registered by Aunt Xu and then carried into the prepared warehouse.
Aunt Wang Xu Jin'er only knew that the dowry was large, but she didn't know how much it was or what was in it.
So today, they also came here.
Looking at the treasures all over the yard, and the box full of banknotes and land deeds in Xu Jinyi's hand, both of them breathed heavily.
His eyes were full of greed, and then when he thought that all these things belonged to Xu Jinyi, he became jealous to the point of madness.
Xu Jin'er held Aunt Wang's hand tightly, feeling unwilling in her heart.
"Mom, these things are worth hundreds of thousands of taels. Some things simply can't be bought with money. This is unfair."
"My value is not even a drop in the bucket here."
Aunt Wang sighed: "My daughter, don't compare. We are not as good as her now."
"Look, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is protecting her like a door god. Let's not do anything else, or we will lose our lives."
"Mom, I can't accept this. I can't accept this."
Fearing that Xu Jin'er might do something to anger the prince, Aunt Wang forcibly pulled her away.
The annoying person left, and Li Jinchen no longer had to care about other people's opinions. He sat next to Xu Jinyi and put his arm around her slender waist.
But Xu Jinyi had no time to pay attention to him, as her eyes were full of these treasures.
She was dazzled by the sight. Who said these treasures were vulgar? She was just vulgar like that.
"Do you like it that much?" Li Jinchen pinched her face.
"Money, how could I not like it?"
Seeing her revealing her preferences in front of him without reservation, Li Jinchen's heart softened, and he hugged Xu Jinyi in his arms without caring that the maids and Qiuhua were still there.
"Marry me, and the entire warehouse in the Prince's Mansion will be yours."
Suddenly, Xu Jinyi's peach blossom eyes lit up: "Give it all to me?"
Aunt Xu: This is shameless! Is it really okay for her daughter to be so obsessed with money in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
Qiuhua: The young lady is so powerful. She asked for all the wealth of His Highness with just a few words.
"It seems that you like these material possessions more than me, huh?" Li Jinchen narrowed his eyes slightly, and his low and hoarse voice revealed a hint of danger.
Xu Jinyi opened his eyes wide, with a look of disapproval: "How could that be? Of course I like you more."
"After all, what's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine. Now that I have you in my pocket, what else can I not get?"
Li Jinchen's hearty laughter came from his chest.
The secret guards in the dark felt relieved. During this period, their master acted more like a human being and smiled more often than before.
My smiles in the past were all fake, never a smile from the heart like the one I have now.
The Crown Prince has been appearing frequently in the Marquis's Mansion recently, and many people in the capital are trying to find out the news.
The third prince had been paying close attention to Li Jinchen's movements, so he got the news quickly.
When he learned that Li Jinchen might have taken a fancy to Xu Jinyi, Xu Jinyi's shocking face flashed through his mind, and he inexplicably felt a surge of anger in his heart.
The atmosphere in the capital became very subtle, and many people were undecided about their attitude towards the Marquis' Mansion.
Some people have already begun to curry favor with Lord Xu, while others are still taking a wait-and-see attitude.
When people in the capital saw the third prince coming, they became nervous.
What kind of ability does the Xu family's legitimate daughter have that she can be liked by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who doesn't like women, and even win the favor of the Third Prince.
Suddenly, more and more people came to curry favor with Lord Xu.
Lord Xu couldn't hide the surprise on his face when he saw the third prince coming with gifts.
Although she is no longer innocent, Xu Jiner still can't let go of the Third Prince.
When she heard that he was coming, she dressed up nicely.
Even if she couldn't marry him, Li Jin'er hoped to see him more often.
I glanced at the crowd, but didn't see the person I wanted to see.
The Third Prince finally spoke: "Isn't the eldest daughter of the Xu family at home today?"
Hearing that the Third Prince was looking for Xu Jinyi, Xu Jin'er's face turned pale.
It’s Xu Jinyi again!
It’s Xu Jinyi again!
Why is she everywhere!
Are you not satisfied until everything is taken away?
Xu Jin'er gritted her teeth, her fingertips turning white from pinching.
"Third Prince, are you looking for my sister? How about I lead the way for you?" Xu Jin'er looked at the Third Prince nervously, hoping for a chance to be alone.
Although he disliked Xu Jin'er, after all, she was a shameless woman, but in order to see the beautiful woman, the third prince nodded and followed Xu Jin'er.
On the way.
"The Third Prince is here to see your sister?" Xu Jin'er asked softly as she walked beside the Third Prince.
"Oh, I saw a glass peacock tassel hairpin on the road and thought it would suit her, so I came over."
Xu Jiner felt a pang of pain in her nose, and she felt mad with jealousy.
"The Third Prince is the beloved sister?"
The Third Prince smiled faintly and said, "Your sister's family background is a good match for me. It would be wonderful if I could win your sister's heart."
Xu Jin'er stopped and tears rolled down her face as she looked at the Third Prince with a pitiful look.
