Chapter 159 The Prince Stays at Aunt Ling's Place

Even if taking a concubine, it usually depends on the list of betrothal gifts given by the man.

The Du family directly took out the dowry list.

"Aruo's brothers took out their wife's money this time. They gave Aruo two shops, a farm, and two hundred acres of land as dowry."

"There is also a betrothal gift. The Du family said that they don't want the Marquis' Mansion to pay a penny."

Madam Wang stuffed the dowry list into Lu Lingyun's hand.

From ancient times to the present, there has never been a woman who does not ask for a betrothal gift from the man's family, and instead brings along a generous dowry to become someone's concubine.

The Du family was so worried and embarrassed about Du Ruo.

I just hope that Lu Lingyun will treat Du Ruo well in the future because of the Du family's sincerity.

Lu Lingyun looked at the dowry list and couldn't help but say, "Aruo does have a good family."

"Who said it wasn't true?" After Wang Xianzi finished her story, she started to complain, "That damn girl Du Ruo is really heartless and brainless! Her brothers are so good to her, and her aunt loves her so much, and she chose a good marriage for her to be the main wife, but she can act so arrogantly!"

"He acts like a monkey, doing whatever he wants all day long! He has no rules at all! He looks down on everyone."

"She doesn't even know who she deserves! Yu Shiwei doesn't know about this yet. If he knew, he would never want her! She has a great marriage, but she doesn't want to be the wife. Now, she rushes to be someone's concubine! Do you know? A few days ago, after the Du family asked Cheng Shizi to be their concubine, they turned around and told Du Ruo that you have no choice but to be a concubine. Do you know what Du Ruo said?"

Lu Lingyun: "...How do you say that?"

"Du Ruo said that she is willing to marry Master, even as a concubine!" Madam Wang imitated Du Ruo's tone, with a look of disgust on her face, "She is so happy! She is not reluctant at all. Last time we introduced her to be the principal wife, she strongly rejected it. Now she is rushing to be a concubine! She will regret it in the future! Let her be tortured by the mistress!"

Lu Lingyun: "......"

After she said the last sentence, she remembered that Lu Lingyun would be Du Ruo's mistress from now on. She hurriedly tried to make up for it, "Sister Lu, I'm not saying anything bad about you. You are a rare kind-hearted person, and you are definitely not the mistress who is annoying. But concubines these days are not as good as the main wife! How good can being a concubine be! How can she rush to be a concubine!"

"I know." Lu Lingjun smiled faintly.

"Alas! I don't care about that damn girl anymore. If she wants to be a concubine, then let her be a concubine! She brought this upon herself anyway! She will have to live through the hard days in the future on her own! No one will take care of her anymore!" Madam Wang was very disappointed.

Three days later.

Auspicious day.

Lu Lingyun sent a betrothal gift for her concubine to the Du family. The Du family said they didn't want it, but they still had to give it.

Du Ruo entered the mansion as a concubine. The betrothal gifts, dowry and herself were all brought in through a side door in the evening on a small sedan chair.

The Du family felt ashamed and did not even hold a banquet to welcome the concubine, let alone a grand farewell party for her.

He sent the person to the Marquis' Mansion in a low-key and contemptuous manner.

There is no ceremony for taking a concubine, but there is still tea offering.

Cheng Yunshuo and Lu Lingyun sat in the main seats and drank a cup of formal concubine tea together.

Looking at Du Ruo wearing the pink wedding dress, she was considered to be accepted into the family.

"Auntie Du, once you enter the Marquis' Mansion, you will have to follow the rules of the Mansion, serve the Prince well, and have children for the Mansion."

Du Ruo, who was wearing a pink wedding veil, responded, "Yes, Master's Wife."

Lu Lingyun's face turned cold, "Auntie Du, from now on, you have to call me Young Madam."

Du Ruo paused and offered tea again, "Yes, Madam."

Lu Lingyun took the tea, gave Shuanghong a look, and gave Du Ruo a red envelope.

Du Ruo took the red envelope and immediately offered tea to Cheng Yunshuo.

Cheng Yunshuo didn't know what to say. He just felt awkward. After thinking for a while, he said, "Aruo, you have to be more sensible in the future."

"Yes, Master...Prince."

He was originally going to call him Master, but just as the words came out, the man under the happy cover changed the ending of his tone and, since he still had some memory, he called him Prince.

Cheng Yunshuo also took the tea from her concubine.

Two red envelopes were distributed to the aunt, and the ceremony was over after drinking tea. Du Ruo was taken away.

They still lived in the same small lotus courtyard as before, but this time it was much easier and it directly became the concubine's courtyard.

After Du Ruo left, Cheng Yunshuo did not move for a long time.

Lu Lingyun glanced at him and said, "The prince is very happy today, why not go to Auntie's place?"

Cheng Yunshuo blushed, "Lingyun, stop making fun of me."

Cheng Yunshuo doesn't like Du Ruo.

In other words, he liked Du Ruo like a younger sister. Even during the time when he was misunderstood by Xing Dairong, he never changed his mind and had no other thoughts about Du Ruo.

This time, the situation was purely urgent. The Du family had lost its leader, so he took Du Ruona into the mansion to give her a chance to survive.

He never had that kind of thought towards Du Ruo from the beginning to the end.

He didn't know how to face the fact that Du Ruo suddenly became his concubine.

Lu Lingyun looked at Cheng Yunshuo's embarrassed face and snorted, "On the wedding night, Prince, don't stay at my place, or I'll get scolded!"

During this period, Cheng Yunshuo often slept in Lu Lingyun's yard. He did not sleep with her, but just talked to her and helped her take care of the children.

It's always more peaceful with Lu Lingyun.

He didn't want to go back alone.

When Cheng Yunshuo heard this, he struggled for a moment, then walked away.

That night.

Small lotus courtyard.

Du Ruo sat quietly on the wedding bed alone. It was rare for her to be so peaceful and quiet. She sat obediently on the edge of the bed.

Under the pink wedding veil, her pretty face was flushed red.

For her, the experience turned out to be a good thing.

She could actually marry Cheng Yunshuo!

The moment she knew she was going to marry Cheng Yunshuo, all the humiliation and blow disappeared, and she even felt that this was a gift from God.

Her aunt and brothers told her seriously that she had no choice and could only be a concubine in the future, but they had no idea.

In her eyes, being a concubine to Cheng Yunshuo is much better than being the legal wife to Yu Shiwei!

So what if I am a concubine!

She was delighted!

Du Ruo was feeling an indescribable sense of joy and anticipation when she heard the door being pushed open.

"Master..." Du Ruo changed her usual tone and said coquettishly, "You are finally here. Do you know how long I have been waiting for this day? I am willing to marry you, even if I am your concubine."

Xiaoqin pushed the door open: "Auntie Du, it's me."

Du Ruo: “…”

Amid the awkwardness, Xiaoqin continued, "Auntie Du, please take off your veil yourself. The prince has returned to the Yanguang Pavilion and is staying at Auntie Ling's place."

Du Ruo: “!!!”

On the wedding night, Cheng Yunshuo returned to his own Yaoguang Pavilion and stayed together with Linglong.
