"Your father is doing this for you. From now on, you should not go out. Just stay in Tingxue Pavilion and wait for your marriage! I will have someone send your betrothal gifts and dowry to you later." Madam Liu winked at the two maids behind her and said, "You two, stay at the door of Tingxue Pavilion. If you delay the wedding tomorrow, I will hold you accountable."
Two maids stood in front of the gate of Tingxue Pavilion, one on the left and one on the right. "Madam, please rest assured that we will guard the gate of Tingxue Pavilion."
"Okay, you guys can guard it if you want! I'm going to rest now."
With a bang, Liu Shuning closed the door of Tingxue Pavilion.
Now that her affair has been completed, she can just stay in prison. After the wedding tomorrow, she will be free.
Early the next morning, Liu's mansion was decorated with lights and became lively.
Today, the three daughters of the Liu family are getting married together, and all the important people in Shanghai have been invited.
In Furong Garden, Liu Shuyun was getting angry about his dowry.
"How could this vicious woman Wu be so cruel as to give me such a small amount of scrap copper and iron as a dowry? How can I hold my head up high in the Lin family in the future?"
"Yun'er, shut up. There are so many people talking, so be careful." The fifth concubine waved her hand and asked all the servants in the room to leave.
After there were no outsiders in the room, she pulled Liu Shuyun to sit on the bed.
"Yun'er, do you know why I want you to endure it? Wu and your mother-in-law are close friends. If you offend Wu, you won't be afraid that she will trip you up. Listen to me, just endure it. When you get married and stand firm, your mother-in-law won't dare to bully you."
"Aunt, you must help me vent my anger. Mrs. Wu is so cruel. She only bought such a small dowry for me. Wouldn't this make the Lin family laugh at me?" Liu Shuyun felt so aggrieved that tears rolled down her cheeks like beads from a broken string. Her voice became a little hoarse because of crying.
"Don't worry, I will talk to your father about the dowry tonight. Your father loves you so much, he will definitely give you more when the time comes. I will clean up the storeroom now and bring some things over to add to your dowry. I will try my best to make your dowry look better."
The Fifth Aunt also got a lot of things from Liu Zhixiong, and she originally planned to keep them for her old age. But now her daughter's dowry is really not good enough, so she can only take out the things to save face for her daughter.
"Thank you, auntie. I know you are the best to me."
Different from the bustling Furong Courtyard, there was no wedding celebration at all in the neighboring Jinhe Courtyard.
Liu Shufeng, who has little presence, lives in Jinheyuan.
"Miss San, do you really want to marry into the Chen family? The master is so cruel. He knows that the young master of the Chen family is a homosexual, but he still wants to marry you off."
"Xiao Cui, you should leave the Liu family after I get married. The Liu family is in crisis, so it's not a big deal for you to stay." Liu Shufeng didn't know whether he was talking to Xiao Cui or comforting himself.
"But what if you are alone in the Chen family and encounter danger?"
"After I got married, I was the eldest lady of the Chen family. They didn't dare to do anything to me." Liu Shufeng's eyes dimmed. Wasn't her fate already decided?
"But Miss Third......"
"Stop it, Xiao Cui, stop talking. Hurry up and see if your aunt is coming." Seeing that Xiao Cui was about to continue talking, Liu Shufeng quickly interrupted her.
"Fifth Aunt has stayed in Furong Courtyard and hasn't come out. How about we go look for her?" Xiao Cui slapped her own mouth. It was all her fault for talking too much. This was just rubbing salt into the Third Miss's wound!
"Forget it. She has never liked me. What's the point of asking her to come?"
Liu Shufeng smiled bitterly. She had never been liked by her aunt since she was a child.
