Lu Haoran was very angry and said all kinds of unpleasant things, because he lost more than just the large dowry.
Xu Jinyi's appearance is particularly outstanding. He wonders how many of his classmates and friends envy him for being able to get engaged to her.
It is a man’s blessing to be able to keep such a beauty in the backyard.
After Lu Xinran figured it out, she angrily complained to her mother: "Mom, you are too stupid. If there is anything, can't you wait until after the wedding night and close the door to talk about it?"
"Will she dare to ask for a divorce when she becomes my brother's wife, dragging her broken and withered body?"
Just as Lu Xinran finished speaking, it was Lu Haoran's turn: "Mom, you look down on daughters-in-law who are worse off than your family. Xu Jinyi's family is high-class, and you are worried that you, as a mother-in-law, can't control her."
"I did this just to intimidate her. Now you don't have to worry about it. She's gone."
Mother Lu was furious with the brother and sister: "Okay, okay, it's all my fault. You're not wrong. It's all my fault, okay?"
After the two elders left, the brother and sister were left staring at each other: "Brother, what should we do now? We must not let Xu Jinyi leave here with the dowry."
"Doesn't she like you very much? Can you chase her and coax her back now?"
"If she refuses, then at least she has to take back every penny of the betrothal gifts we gave her," Lu Xinran instructed.
"They shouldn't have gone far yet. Maybe because there were so many people around, she couldn't let go of her pride. I'll go and coax her now." After saying that, Lu Haoran took off his wedding dress and walked out.
Yijing Garden is located in a wealthy area outside the town, where there are many farms connected.
As soon as Xu Jinyi and his group left the city gate, they were stopped by Lu Haoran.
"Xiao Jin, I regret this. The position of the Crown Prince is not as important as you, and neither is the future of the Marquisate. You are the only one I want. Please come back with me."
Xu Jinyi did not get out of the sedan chair, but lifted the curtain, revealing her stunning face.
"Please respect yourself, Prince Lu. From the moment you wrote that divorce letter, we no longer have any relationship. Please call me Xu."
"I know myself well and know that I am not worthy of a family like Master Lu. Master, please go back."
Lu Haoran explained: "Xiao Jin, don't say angry words. I was wrong. Those were my parents' thoughts. I love you."
"What concubine? How can a concubine be worthy of you? Come back with me. You are my only wife. My parents have no say in the matter."
"Watching you leave, I felt a pain like a knife. Only then did I realize how important you are to me. Xiaojin, come back with me. Let's be a loving couple."
Xu Jinyi's expression was indifferent: "Sir, please don't bother me anymore. How could I have put you in such an unjust position, caused you to be deserted by everyone, and even angered your grandmother to death?"
Lu Haoran stared at her in disbelief. Noticing the seriousness in her tone, he could no longer maintain the expression on his face.
"I have already agreed to be your legal wife. Why don't you want to go back with me? Didn't you ever want to marry me?"
"Or have you known about the news about the General's Mansion for a long time, and are using the wedding as an excuse to transfer your family's assets and deliberately play a trick on me?"
The more he spoke, the more Lu Haoran felt that he had guessed the truth: "This must be the case, right? You guys are making such a fuss to protect the general's property, right?"
Xu Jinyi looked at him as if he were a heartless man. "Lu Haoran! Do you have any conscience? I married you and swore to heaven and earth. But your family betrayed me and wants to demote me to a concubine. Do you want me to choose between divorce and being a concubine?"
"I didn't say anything. I agreed to all your requests. What else do you want?"
Lu Haoran was speechless: "Don't you love me? Why are you unwilling to make some sacrifices for me? I have already agreed to let you be my legal wife, why are you still not happy?"
Xu Jinyi laughed at herself, "Agree? Ridiculous. Lu Haoran, don't forget that it was your family who came to propose marriage eagerly. Giving me the position of legal wife sounds like alms. I despise it."
"A good horse never turns back. Now that I've left, there's absolutely no reason for me to go back."
"Let's just assume we are not destined to be together in this life. I hope we won't recognize each other when we meet in the future."
Before Lu Haoran could say anything, Lu Xinran rushed out impatiently.
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry. I was ignorant and spoke rudely just now. My brother has already taught me a lesson. Please forgive him."
"I heard that you, Xinran, are engaged to the son of the Minister of Revenue. You must change your character in the future, otherwise your in-laws will not be happy."
The preaching look made Lu Xinran feel disgusted, but she couldn't get angry, so she could only smile and agree.
Then, Xu Jinyi said a lot of things to her, and Lu Xinran's face froze as she smiled.
It wasn't until Xu Jinyi said goodbye that she reacted and almost lost her composure.
"What did you say? You're not going back?! Why are you saying so much if you're not going back?"
Xu Jinyi looked at her in confusion: "I didn't say I wanted to go back. I only told you this because we've known each other for many years."
"Who cares!" Lu Xinran was furious. She thought about how she had just nodded in agreement, and it seemed that others were treating her like a fool.
"Okay, you don't have to go back. Just leave my betrothal gifts to me. You're dreaming of cheating me out of so much betrothal gifts just by coming to my house."
Xu Jinyi showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, and then looked at the brother and sister with a smile.
"So it's for the betrothal gifts. Just wait." Then he took the betrothal gift list that they had given to Tong's mother.
"Liuli, check the last two boxes of the dowry and return them to them."
There were quite a few people coming and going through the city gate, and they all looked over at them.
Lu Haoran didn't expect that the betrothal gift given by his family was so small. Among the hundreds of loads of dowry, only two boxes were the betrothal gifts they gave out.
Liuli didn't know whether she did it on purpose or really didn't know, but she started opening the last few boxes of the dowry.
Several boxes opened in succession were wrong, but they also made them jealous. The last few boxes in the dowry were such expensive treasures, so what were the values of those at the front?
As the two boxes of shabby betrothal gifts were opened, the crowd began to laugh.
The brother and sister felt hot on their faces and were very embarrassed.
If these things were in ordinary families, they would be considered good things, but compared with the boxes that Liuli had just opened by mistake, they were far from impressive.
"The actions of the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion are too shameful. They are still chasing after such a small betrothal gift. Aren't they ashamed?"
"It makes me feel embarrassed. Just now, the daughter of the Marquis of Pingyang was cursing at the young lady, saying that she wanted to swallow her family's betrothal gifts. How could she be interested in so many good things?"
"Okay, who asked you to read it, you slut? Get out." Lu Xinran stepped forward and was about to snatch the betrothal gift list.
How could Liuli let her succeed? "Prince, Miss Lu, it's better to be clear about the return of the betrothal gifts. Anything more or less will not be good."
