Qian Sheng had always known of Long Bo's existence, but no one knew his background. All they knew was that he was highly skilled, and even the Emperor would show him deference. It was probably because of such a person guarding the Zhan Wang Mansion that the mansion hadn't suffered any major problems despite the huge incident.
Why……
His thoughts returned to reality, and when he looked up, he found that his eldest daughter had already walked far away. He then ordered his servants to carry him to his own courtyard.
After Qian Youxue entered the gate, she saw her grandmother sitting in a chair, looking extremely pale and lost in thought. The hall was filled with boxes, completely filling the space.
"Youxue greets Grandmother!" Qian Youxue bowed slightly, bringing her absent-minded grandmother back to her senses.
The old lady glanced at the items before her and said wearily, "These were all sent from the Prince of Zhan's residence. Take a look for yourself."
"Yes!" Qian Youxue nodded, walked over and randomly opened a box. The box was filled with silks and satins. She opened another box, which contained jewelry, antiques, and paintings. Unable to suppress her curiosity, she simply opened all the boxes in the hall.
"Wow...so many beautiful pieces of jewelry!" Qian Yuexue exclaimed in surprise as she arrived at the door.
Besides Qian Yuexue, several other concubines also came. They all stared at the things in the box with longing eyes.
Aunt Liu swallowed hard, telling herself that when the Crown Prince presented the betrothal gifts, they would definitely be plentiful here. She turned and tugged at the absent-minded Qian Muxue beside her.
Qian Muxue took a deep breath, looked up and followed her into the hall. She tugged at Qian Yuexue, who was lost in thought, and the two of them stepped forward to greet the old lady.
"Don't just stand there, find a place to sit down!" the old lady said weakly, clearly indicating that she had not yet fully recovered.
With the old lady's words, Aunt Liu led the others to find a place to sit down. However, everyone's eyes remained on the jewels and silks.
Qian Yuexue pouted cleverly and stepped forward in a cute manner, saying, "Big sister, Prince Zhan is really rich, sending so many betrothal gifts. I haven't seen any of these before. This one is so beautiful, it will definitely look good on you with your good skin."
Seeing Qian Yuexue drawing strokes on her head with a jade hairpin, Qian Youxue knew exactly what she meant. She loved money, but she wasn't stingy. However, when it came to a fool like Qian Yuexue who had once bullied the female lead, she was determined to be a tightwad.
With a slight smile, she stepped forward, snatched the hairpin from Qian Yuexue's hair, and stuck it into her own. Yunhe, understanding perfectly, handed her a mirror. She looked at herself in the mirror again and again, then said with a joyful smile, "I never imagined the War King had such good taste! This hairpin is truly beautiful. Grandmother, don't you think?"
"Yes, yes, yes! Our Youxue looks beautiful in anything." The old lady naturally sided with Youxue. She remembered that Yuexue used to bully Youxue a lot when she was with Yingxue. Did she still want to bring up the betrothal gifts?
Qian Yuexue cursed her grandmother several times in her heart. She looked like a ghost and it was a waste of such a good thing. Only a blind person would say such a thing.
"Alright, the steward from the Prince of Zhan's mansion just arrived. They've already set the wedding date for three days from now." The old lady said with a sad expression, revealing what she didn't want to say, her gaze falling on Qian Youxue.
"Three days later!" These four words were pronounced in unison, and the expressions of the people present all changed.
