Chapter 1003 Jealousy

Today, many people actually want to see the wedding headgear given by the Empress. The Empress did not keep the gift a secret from anyone, and everyone in the capital knew about it. It was precisely because of the headgear that many people were reluctant to see it, and only after the ceremony was over did people start to ask for it.

Prince Qi was very moved, "My mother didn't give it to the Crown Princess. My mother really likes Prince Ning and Miss Zhou."

The prince thought to himself, he wanted to give it to him at first, but he was too quick to do it. However, he did not regret it, as he was too lazy to pay attention to the instigating Prince Qi.

The King of Chu did not think much about it, and only thought that the Queen was thinking of the deceased Master Ning, "Master Zhou's appearance is not outstanding, I didn't expect it."

There is no need to explain this clearly, everyone knows what the King of Chu means.

The prince rolled his eyes in his heart. He could attack Zhou Shuren even when he was not around. He was more concerned about his younger brother's marriage. He also made a fortune today. His father and mother had secretly sent gifts to him.

Thinking of this, the prince felt sad for his father, the emperor and his mother, that their own son had to get married in secret. After the prince's greetings were completed, he did not stay any longer. He said goodbye to his grandfather and his third uncle and left early.

The prince left, and several princes also left one after another. No one wanted to continue watching the Ning family hold a wedding. Zhang Yang thought about it and decided not to stay. It was more suitable for him to keep a low profile recently.

Inside the bridal chamber, Xue Han was chatting with Yu. Song didn't come today, and it looked like she was about to give birth.

Yu was jealous, she had always been thinking about Zhou Xuehan's dowry. Although most of it was covered, the tiles and soil on top could be seen. As she spoke, she looked around the house. The wood in the house was all of the best quality, and the jewelry box in front of the dressing table was open. This was not the dowry, it was prepared by Rongchuan.

Yu looked at the mirror again. It was not cheap and it was such a big mirror. She felt jealous in her heart but she had to smile on her face. Her face was particularly stiff and distorted.

Xue Han tried her best not to look at Yu's face. Her mother was right, jealousy makes people ugly. She was also shocked when she came in. The house was so luxurious. Rongchuan kept saying that he would give her a surprise, and she was indeed surprised. Then she sighed that the Ninghou Mansion really had a lot of money.

Yu didn't want to stay any longer. She was afraid that she couldn't control herself. If Rongchuan wasn't there, they should have been in the same room.

Liuli waited for Yu to leave, "Miss, the maid from the Marquis's Mansion just brought some food, and Auntie asked you to take a cushion."

Xue Han heard it and said, "Okay."

The maid brought the food over. Xue Han saw that they were all her favorites, so she didn't eat too much.

Outside, Rongchuan drank a lot of wine. Even though there were people helping him to stop drinking, there were still people who tried to get him drunk with bad intentions today. It was only because Lord Ning couldn't stand it anymore that Rongchuan left.

Inside the palace, the prince imitated the wedding scene, and the emperor felt sad, especially when he knelt down to worship his parents. He waved his hand to signal the prince to go see the queen.

The Emperor waited for the Crown Prince to leave and wanted to be alone, so he signaled Eunuch Liu to go out as well.

Eunuch Liu carefully retreated and sat on a chair outside, rubbing his knees. He really felt sorry for the emperor, and then sighed. The emperor had been unhappy since he met the empress last time. He had watched the emperor and the empress get to where they are today, and in the end, he could only sigh.

The next morning, in Ninghou Mansion, Xue Han and Rong Chuan woke up very early. Lord Ning woke up even earlier than them and was waiting to be served tea.

Xue Han is still stable. Rong Chuan should not be her husband anymore. Her husband has told her many times how she bullied her father-in-law.

Ning Xu didn't know how to say anything to her daughter-in-law and went straight in to serve tea.

Xue Han knelt respectfully, "Dad, have some tea."

Ning Xu was very happy. She was finally married. If her son worked hard, he would be able to hold his grandson next year. When she thought of her grandson, Ning Xu smiled even more. "Okay, if Rong Chuan bullies you in the future, just tell Dad and I will help you vent your anger."

He was mentally prepared for his son's promise at Zhou's house yesterday.

Xue Han was still a little nervous because she was afraid that her father-in-law would be unhappy with Rong Chuan's promise. But after hearing what her father-in-law said, she felt relieved and said with a red face, "My husband is very good."

Ning Xu thought, how could it not be good? Thinking only of her father-in-law, she gave Xue Han the gift she had prepared for the meeting. "You have all the jewelry you need, and there are no women in your family. These are for you. Take them."

Xue Han looked at the box of banknotes on the tray. Very good. She liked it very much. She said sweetly, "Thank you, Dad."

The young couple toasted each other with tea, had breakfast together, and then returned to the yard.

When Xue Han got up in the morning, she met the servants in her own courtyard. Now after having dinner, she would take a rest for a while before meeting the servants of the entire Ninghou Mansion.

Xue Han was surprised, "It's only the first day and you let me be the housekeeper?"

Rongchuan, "We don't have any women in our family, so you're in charge now that you're here. Tell me how much money my father gave me."

I didn’t expect my dad to be so direct, but he likes it.

Xue Han was also thinking, "Then how about counting?"

"Count."

Xue Han took it out and counted it. After a while, she shook the banknotes. "Fifty thousand taels. People in the capital say that the Ninghou Mansion is wealthy. It's really true."

Rong Chuan didn't care about the affairs of the mansion, but he knew a lot. "My father made a lot of money before he regained his status. Later, he had to stay in the capital. There were many tributes and businesses under the mansion. I don't know how much money he made in a year, but the rumors in the capital are true."

Xue Han nodded. Some merchants came to seek protection and gave various gifts. "Look at yours. Dad also gave you a box."

Before Rongchuan returned to the mansion, he was a man who knew how to save money and family assets. After returning to the mansion, although he no longer saved money, the family assets still increased. He gave it to his wife last night and now pushed the box to his wife, "What Dad gave me is for you. Everything in our house is yours."

Xue Han was not polite either. It would be fake to be polite at this time. And there was nothing wrong with what she said. My mother was in charge of all the money in the house. But after opening the box, she asked, "Isn't this a bit too much?"

The boxes were filled with deeds, including deeds to houses and shops in the capital, as well as deeds to some estates near the capital and in the rice-rich Jiangnan region.

Rongchuan was also surprised. This fortune was too huge. "Dad, are you giving it to me in advance?"

Xue Han was surprised but then she put it away. The sudden wealth her mother had talked about should be today. She really experienced it. Then she pursed her lips. She deeply realized how busy she would be in the future. She looked at her husband's purse and said, "Now that we are married, you don't have to carry so much money."

Rong Chuan was quite quick. He opened his purse, kept two hundred-liang notes, and gave the rest to his wife. "Although I've married you, I still have to prepare for this little surprise. I've always been on the same page with Dad."

Xue Han curled her lips and agreed.

Ning Marquis' Mansion didn't even need Rong Chuan to accompany Xue Han or support her. Rong Chuan's hatred and reluctance to marry was seen by the Mansion, so Xue Han took over the Mansion very smoothly and was just waiting to officially manage it after returning home.

At the Zhou family, Zhulan was looking forward to the return of the daughter-in-law. Even though she knew that the daughter-in-law would live well in the Marquis' Mansion, she was still worried about her.

Mrs. Song came in with a letter, "A letter from the Second Master."
