Chapter 2: Marrying on Behalf



Shang Yufu had been engaged to the prince of Dingguo Palace since she was a child. She thought she would marry 놛 in the future. However, after 놛 returned from the battle, everyone discovered that He Jingheng was sitting in a wheelchair all day.

Later, it was learned that the most valiant and warlike prince of the Ding Palace in the Tianshun Dynasty was disabled.

After Shang Yufu found out, she was willing to get married.

Shangnian went to the palace to ask for mercy, allowing the Shang family to select a new marriageable woman and get married on the same day.

Apart from Shang Yufu, the only eligible woman in the Shang family was her, the second daughter born out of wedlock who was forgotten by the entire Xiangfu.

"Who said I won't marry your daughter off?" Shang Ruoyi sneered.

"How dare you!" Shangnian shouted angrily, "I want you to marry me! You must marry me!"

Shang Ruoyi nodded, and she heard her slowly say, "What about the dowry?"

"Dowry?"

"Yes, a dignified prime minister's mansion, is it possible that there is no dowry at all?" She curled her lips and shook her head, saying, "How much dowry do I need? Just give me the dowry that mother brought here. It was originally something that mother left for me."

What?

Her mother’s dowry?

How is this possible?

When her mother married into the prime minister's residence, it was a grand affair with a wedding gown that stretched ten miles in length. Who would have said that the prime minister was so blessed?

To take all of these away now is tantamount to emptying our residence!

"I have found your mother's dowry list. How do you settle it? You are being unreasonable!" Shangnian said in a deep voice, "You cannot disobey your parents' orders. Your father ordered you to dress up immediately. You have missed the auspicious time. Your marriage was decided by the emperor. Disobeying the imperial decree is a capital crime."

Shang Ruoyi waved her hands and said calmly, "Don't worry, Prime Minister. You don't have the dowry list, but I do." She pulled out a booklet from under the pillow, shook it and said, "You recognize this, right?"

When Madam Shangnian saw this thing, she was immediately shocked.

How did this book end up in her hands?

That’s right, other people’s dowries can be written down on a piece of thin paper, but her mother’s dowry was a booklet, which shows how grand the wedding was.

"Evil daughter, will you give this book to your father?"

Shang Ruoyi sneered, "It will be useless even if the Prime Minister takes this booklet away from me. I'm afraid the whole imperial city knows how glorious my mother was when she married into the Prime Minister's Mansion. Now that her daughter is getting married, she even took her dowry away. Are you afraid of being ridiculed by the world? When your precious daughter marries into the Crown Prince's Mansion, people will point fingers at her and say that her parents withheld her aunt's dowry to add to her dowry. With such a character, she still wants to be the mother of the country? Dream on!"

Shang Ruoyi knew the weakness of her scumbag father and the eldest lady.

They dreamed of making Shang Yufu the queen all day long.

We are willing and dare to do things that may damage our reputation.

"What do you want?" The eldest lady walked forward and asked in a cold voice.

"Give me back my mother's dowry in its original packaging." She turned to the dowry land and shops at the back and said, "I like these. I also know that the expenses of the prime minister's mansion all come from my mother's shops. Therefore, please convert these land and shops into cash for me!"

This, this, this, how much silver does this cost?

Shangnian was about to refuse, but then he heard the lady say in a deep voice, "Okay!"

"lady······"

The eldest lady secretly winked at Wang, and Shangnian stopped talking.

She took out the key to the storeroom and said, "I didn't touch your mother's things. They were locked in the storeroom. As for the land and shops, eleven shops, 100 acres of land, and two farms, I would like to exchange them for 10,000 taels of silver. How about that?"

Shang Ruoyi raised her eyebrows slightly. This lady was so generous, she must have some bad intentions.

"good!"

"Master and Madam, the auspicious time has arrived."

The eldest lady looked at Shang Ruoyi and said coldly, "Can you put on your makeup now?"

She was dragged into the room by the servants and put on the wedding dress that was originally made for Shang Yufu.

She shook her head and said, "I didn't expect Shang Yufu to be so fat. It's too big for me."

The little maid who was dressing her couldn't help laughing out loud.

Seeing the Second Young Lady looking at her in the bronze mirror, she quickly put away the smile on her face and bent down to fix her hair.

"What's your name?" Shang Ruoyi asked.

"Replying to Second Miss, this servant is Shaoyao."

"Which yard?"

"This servant has been helping the mothers-in-law in the kitchen."

This lady actually asked the maid in the kitchen to do her makeup. She was determined to make herself look bad.

But she didn't expect that her cooking skills would be very good.

Shang Ruoyi looked at the bun she had done for her, and asked in confusion, "Your cooking skills are not good, so why are you serving in the madam's room? Why did you go to the kitchen to help as a maid?"

"Replying to Second Miss, I was originally serving in Aunt Zhang's room, but the Prime Minister told Aunt Zhang that my hands were delicate and white, and Aunt Zhang got angry and drove me to the kitchen."

I see.

Just as I finished dressing, the servants came to urge me to go out.

She touched the jade pendant around her neck.

She had worn it in her previous life, and she didn't expect to wear it after she traveled through time.

Thinking of the miserable way she died in her previous life, Shang Ruoyi couldn't help but feel a little angry.

A top spy either dies in war or sacrifices his life for his country, or dies at the hands of his most trusted teammates.

If people who can trust each other with their lives can betray each other, who else in this world can be trusted with true heart?

At this time, the eldest lady came into the room and took out a 10,000 tael silver note and handed it to her: "Your mother's dowry boxes have been carried outside. Why are you still hurrying out? You have delayed the auspicious time. If the emperor blames you, can you afford it with your life?"

"Madam, if you keep talking, today, even if it means offending the Emperor, I will drag the Xiangfu into this and sacrifice hundreds of lives." Shang Ruoyi crossed her legs and looked at her coldly, "There is really no one in this Xiangfu that I care about. If you care, we can give it a try."

The eldest lady looked at her grimly, but kept her mouth shut as she wished.

Shang Ruoyi sneered, put the banknotes in her arms, walked out of the room, and saw the dowry boxes that had been piled far outside the yard. She couldn't help but be shocked. She didn't expect that her mother was so rich.

The most sad thing is that he was so rich, but died so miserably.

Today, the Tianshun Dynasty still adheres to the principle of male superiority and female inferiority. Although the status of women is not that low, it is still far from that of men.

But how could Shang Ruoyi be the kind of girl who could sit quietly in the backyard, be jealous all day long, and compete with concubines for her husband?

Even in this ancient time, she could stand on her own and live a wonderful life.

She is a man's accessory!

The eldest lady looked at her leaving and whispered, "What do you think of taking these dowries? You have the life to take them, but you also have the life to spend them."
