Jing Jing'er seemed to be shocked. She was stunned for a moment and then ran away crying.
Aunt Sun was unmoved, and continued to laugh and scold her for being rude, asking her sister-in-law Ying Nianrong to be more tolerant.
Ying Nianrong smiled sweetly in her heart. Since she got married, Ran had treated her normally, not making things difficult for her and not seeing her.
Aunt Sun was very sincere and placed herself above Jing Shengwen and Jing Jing'er, which made the two siblings often tease her that they were their biological children.
This was the warmth she had not felt in the Duke of Ying's Mansion. The old lady treated her more as a substitute for her daughter and always looked at others through her.
Her biological parents had taken the money from the Duke of Ying's Mansion and ran away long ago, so only Aunt Sun cared about her like a mother.
When Aunt Sun saw that the fish had been hooked, she burst into tears in embarrassment.
Tell Ying Nianrong that Marquis Jing'en has recently found a good job for Jing Shengwen, but there are many people eyeing that job and they need money to bribe them.
Ying Nianrong nodded. She knew about this. On the day of the tea ceremony, Ran said that the treasury did not have the money to pay back. But wasn't Aunt Sun trying to collect the money to pay it back now?
Aunt Sun wept in grievance and choked up:
"It's still a little short. Ran has something on me. If I don't pay her back in full, she won't give me any more money. With so many people watching over this mission, I'm afraid it will be delayed because of me."
"But the Marquis is in a difficult situation now. Can you lend me some of your dowry to make up for it and give it to the Ran family? Then, the Ran family will relent sooner and arrange some work for Sheng Wen."
"But don't worry, Auntie will never take your money for nothing. I'll write you an IOU. Sheng Wen will have a good job and inherit the Marquis' Mansion in the future. This huge fortune will all belong to your son."
Ying Nianrong was held by Aunt Sun and cried for a long time. She gave Aunt Sun the eight thousand taels of silver that the old lady had left for her.
At the same time, he also gave Aunt Sun the key to the dowry warehouse, allowing her to withdraw her dowry at will.
After Aunt Sun left, she felt something was wrong and felt a little regretful.
But Jing Shengwen came back and hugged her, confessing his love, and promised that she would be his only woman from now on, and he would work hard to earn her a good life.
I would bring her gifts from time to time, and there would be surprises every day.
The feeling of unease in Ying Nianrong's heart also dissipated.
She even met Danruo in the garden and intentionally or unintentionally showed off to her what Jing Shengwen brought her every day.
Jing Jing'er enviously cheered for Ying Nianrong.
Dan Ruo wanted to roll his eyes when he heard that.
Ying Nianrong finished her new statement and then covered her face with a handkerchief, pretending to be embarrassed:
"Sister-in-law, don't be angry with the prince. In fact, he treats you very well. It's good enough that he can come home once every three to five days. He didn't bring you a gift because he is too busy."
She had to make Danruo make trouble with the prince because she was jealous of her good relationship with Brother Shengwen. The prince would definitely be tired of this peasant girl.
Dan Ruo glanced at Ying Nianrong calmly, as if she were a fool:
"A man's favor is only temporary. What's most important is the dowry in your hand, a lifelong guarantee. The prince and mother gave me eighty-eight dowries, which was the best recognition of me. Can those illusory favors accompany you until old age?"
After Dan Ruo finished speaking, he left on his own.
She had to pick up Jing Ruchen after he got off work. They had agreed to go to the night market in Beijing which had become very popular recently.
Ying Nianrong fell into deep thought.
Yes.
Danruo's dowry was given by the prince and Ran, and because of the prince and Ran's attention, there were so many additional dowries.
And her dowry was taken away by Aunt Sun.
Aunt Sun also said that she loved me as her own daughter, but that was not right. She should have given me an extra dowry.
