Chapter 93: Bride Gift



This ring can be used to command the subordinates of the owner at will. Of course, royal relatives, princes, princesses, etc. can be recognized wherever they go, so it doesn't matter whether they have a ring or not, so the decorative function of the ring is greater than its practical use.

Although that is what they say, I have never seen anyone give a ring that symbolizes the status of a prince, let alone a ring that represents the power of the regent.

This gift wasn't just a ring; it meant Rong Chengxuan was handing over all his power, including the authority to command his subordinates, to Yun Wanwan. With this ring, Yun Wanwan possessed the same power as Rong Chengxuan. From now on, others would look upon Yun Wanwan as they would upon Rong Chengxuan.

After Rong Chengxuan put the ring on Yun Wanwan's hand, he handed over his power to someone else, but the person he gave it to was a woman.

I've seen men who love their wives, but I've never seen one who loves his wife this much. The young girls around were extremely envious. Rong Chengxuan was already of noble status and generous. The betrothal gifts were enough to make them envious for a long time. But when he gave away this ring that represented status, position and power, it was more than just jealousy.

When they learned that Yun Wanwan, a girl from the countryside, was going to marry Rong Chengxuan, they didn't know how many nights they had cried. The only thing that could comfort them was that Rong Chengxuan was of noble status and such an outstanding person.

The terrifying cold face he always had on was not something worthy of attention or notice under his good looks. After all, most women are visual animals.

The fathers in the family scolded Rong Chengxuan every day. Sometimes, when the scolding was too harsh, they would argue for Rong Chengxuan, not for any reason, but just because of Rong Chengxuan's face.

It is because Rong Chengxuan is extremely handsome and a rare talent. Over the years, he has been surrounded by many beautiful women. When he first knew that Yun Wanwan was going to marry Rong Chengxuan, he could still comfort himself in his heart. Yun Wanwan was not a beauty by nature, and would definitely be rejected by Prince An soon. Then it would be Yun Wanwan who would be embarrassed.

Who knew that Rong Chengxuan would slap them in the face with facts today. This is probably the first time in the world that someone dotes on his wife so much.

Moreover, long before Yun Wanwan married Rong Chengxuan, they often heard their father mention it, such as how Rong Chengxuan defended Yun Wanwan in the court today, saying that Yun Wanwan was a beauty who brought disaster and confused Rong Chengxuan's mind.

When they heard it at first, they felt disdainful, thinking that it was the first time Rong Chengxuan had seen a woman like Yun Wanwan, and she was also his fiancée. Those ministers saying things about Yun Wanwan in front of him were just a slap in the face of Rong Chengxuan, so Rong Chengxuan defended Yun Wanwan in front of everyone.

But after meeting her today, they knew Rong Chengxuan truly loved Yun Wanwan. If he didn't care about her, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths to marry her, nor would he have given her the ring that symbolized his status.

How could a young lady like Yunfu, who was abandoned at a young age, have such a good life? I wonder what good fortune she had accumulated in her previous life.

After Rong Chengxuan put the ring on Yun Wanwan's hand, he raised his thin lips, leaned over slightly, and kissed the back of Yun Wanwan's hand.

The air exhaled from Rong Chengxuan's nose brushed against the back of Yun Wanwan's hand, and Yun Wanwan naturally guessed what the tingling sensation was. She couldn't help but blush as she mentally complained that Rong Chengxuan was still so frivolous on the wedding day. Fortunately, she was covered with a veil, so others couldn't see her embarrassment.

Rong Chengxuan stood up and put down Yun Wanwan's hand. Madam Su smiled and sang: "Bring in the betrothal gifts—bring in the dowry—"

The ninety-nine betrothal gifts that Rong Chengxuan presented just now were enough to amaze everyone for a long time, but the dowry that was carried out from Yun Wanwan's house was a bit shocking to everyone.

Everyone looked at the dowries being carried out one by one and started counting them as if they were betrothal gifts. When they counted to "twenty, twenty-one, twenty-two...", no one was too surprised.

It was already a skill of Yun Wanwan that she could come up with so much dowry without the Yun Mansion. But the more they counted, the more embarrassed the expressions on everyone's faces became, especially when they reached the number nine, and there was nothing but surprise on their faces.

"Ninety-five, ninety-six, ninety-seven, ninety-eight, ninety-nine, one hundred! One hundred! One hundred!" Someone in the crowd exclaimed.

Everyone felt like their jaws were about to drop in shock. It was okay that Rong Chengxuan offered a betrothal gift of ninety-nine units, after all, they all knew that Prince An's Mansion was rich.

But when Yun Wanwan not only took out a dowry that was almost the same as Rong Chengxuan's, but even gave them one more than Rong Chengxuan's betrothal gift, all they were left with was surprise.

Is Yun Wanwan considered a master who keeps her composure? Who would have thought she was so wealthy? When the young ladies heard Yun Wanwan's dowry was one hundred tai, they nearly fainted.

Just now they were still comforting themselves, saying that Yun Wanwan was a young girl who had just arrived in the capital and was only making money by opening a fortune-telling shop. It was already a compliment for her to be able to come up with twenty dowries. Unexpectedly, she came up with a hundred, which severely slapped them in the face.

Yun Wanwan was slightly surprised when she heard them say that her dowry was one hundred sets. Her wedding dress and dowry were all prepared by Rong Chengxuan.

Yun Wanwan thought that Rong Chengxuan was just making some casual preparations. After all, she had told Rong Chengxuan that what she cared about was not the wedding or those customs that had to be followed, but that she could live together with Rong Chengxuan for a long time in the future.

But when she knew that Rong Chengxuan had prepared so much for her without saying a word, she still felt touched in her heart. This turned out to be the feeling of being held at the top of someone's heart.

After carrying the dowry, the mother would personally feed the bride sesame dumplings. Since Yun Wanwan's parents were not around, Nanny Su took over this task.

The dumplings were small and mixed with peanuts, lotus seeds and sesame seeds, which meant having a son soon. Nanny Su scooped some with a small spoon. Yun Wanwan slightly lifted a corner of her veil and swallowed the glutinous rice dumpling that Nanny Su fed her.

After eating the dumplings, it's time to get into the bridal sedan chair. Originally, the bride's father or brother should be responsible for carrying the bride on the sedan chair, but Yun Wanwan has nothing to do with either of these two people. It's the same as not having a father, and she doesn't have a brother either.
