Even if Xiao Zhiruo didn't want a betrothal gift, the prince probably wouldn't agree.
How could a princess get married without a betrothal gift? And the betrothal gift cannot be shabby, otherwise how can the prince put his face up?
Xiao Zhiruo said calmly: "The matter between Pei Yun and me is a private matter between the two of us and has nothing to do with the Pei family."
"If the Pei family really wants to make amends, why not ask Pei Yun first? If he is willing to recognize his ancestry, this princess will naturally not stop him, but if he is unwilling, the Pei family does not have to force him."
Pei Yanshu was a little anxious when he saw that Xiao Zhiruo refused to accept the betrothal gift. He originally thought of sending the betrothal gift to Xiao Zhiruo. Xiao Zhiruo and Pei Yun's relationship was just heating up, and she would definitely accept it when she heard that it was sent by her husband's family. In this way, even if Pei Yun was unwilling to recognize the Pei family, the princess had already accepted the betrothal gift, and he couldn't ask the princess to return it.
Isn't that a slap in the princess' face?
This tacitly acknowledged that Pei Yun was a member of the Pei family, but they didn't expect that Xiao Zhiruo saw through their intentions at a glance and refused to accept the betrothal gift, which made the situation a bit difficult.
Pei Feng at the side couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Princess, although Pei Yun didn't say it, he must still want to return to his ancestral home in his heart. After all, we are connected by blood, so how can he not want to go home?"
Xiao Zhiruo glanced at him and said coldly, "I don't know what Pei Yun is thinking, but I know exactly what you, the Pei family, are thinking. If you really want to do good for Pei Yun, you should first think about how to make up for the grievances he has suffered over the years, instead of rushing to curry favor with the palace."
Pei Feng's face turned red and he felt a little embarrassed and angry, but he didn't dare to get angry and could only keep his mouth shut.
Seeing this, Pei Yanshu could only say, "The princess is right. It is my Pei family that has not considered it carefully. In this case, the betrothal gifts will be left for the time being, and we will take our leave first."
Just as Xiao Zhiruo was about to ask the Pei family to take the things away, Pei Yun's voice came in.
"When did I, Pei Yun, need your Pei family to worry about the betrothal gifts for marrying the princess? Take your betrothal gifts and get out!"
