The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket!-Chapter 924 - 792, Getting Married
Chapter 924: Chapter 792, Getting Married
November 29th, the Yan Family began sending dowry to the Prince Residence.
Daohua Pavilion.
One by one, dowry cases were neatly placed in the courtyard, each tied with festive red silk.
"I wonder if our dowries will be half as grand as big sister’s when we get married?"
Witnessing the dazzling array of dowries in the courtyard, Yan Yile couldn’t help but grumble.
Hearing this, Han Xinran, Zhou Jingwan, and Su Shiyu exchanged a quick glance, then pretended they hadn’t heard a thing.
The eldest sister (Yiyi) was the Yan Family’s legitimate eldest daughter; her dowry consisted not only of contributions from her family but also gifts from the Li Family and additional items from the old Master. Most importantly, she herself had also contributed a portion.
For the fourth sister to compare herself to her was really unreasonable.
Yan Yishuang glanced at Yan Yile with a hint of disdain. Now even she didn’t dare to compete with the eldest sister; where on earth did Yan Yile—who was from a different branch of the family—get the confidence?
Beside them, Zhu Qiyun was so embarrassed she could hardly cope, looking at Yan Yile, who would blurt out anything regardless of the situation, with a headache. Before they had left the house, she had repeatedly instructed her to watch her mouth, but to no avail; it seemed she just hadn’t listened.
Zhu Qiyun pulled Yan Yihuan back and whispered, "These next couple of days, second sister, please take extra care to watch over the fourth sister. Don’t let her cause any trouble for the family."
Yan Yihuan nodded, "Sister-in-law, I’ll take good care of Yile."
Not long after, Yan Wenxiu arrived with others in the courtyard and began checking the dowry list, instructing the servants to carry out each case one by one.
In the room, Daohua watched as the courtyard emptied out bit by bit, her heart starting to feel empty as well.
In three more days, she would leave the first home she had known in this world and start a new Chapter in her life.
Outside the courtyard gate, the Madam of the Li Family listened to the well-wishes of friends and relatives with a smile that was somewhat forced and stiff.
The difference between marrying off a daughter and taking in a daughter-in-law was stark, indeed. Taking in a daughter-in-law was a joyous occasion, but marrying off a daughter... every time she thought of her daughter becoming part of another family, she just couldn’t bring herself to be happy.
Not just her—Yan Granny and Yan Zhigao were also forcing smiles.
One hundred and twenty dowry cases, carried by young fellows dressed uniformly in green robes with red belts, aligned in a column led by Yan Wenxiu, Wentao, and other brothers, were grandly brought to the Prince Residence. freēwēbnovel.com
...
At the Prince Residence.
Compared to the forced merriment of the Yan Family elders, the Prince’s smile was much more sincere.
The main gate of the Prince Residence was wide open, with Xiao Yeyang standing at the forefront, excitedly watching the approaching dowry procession.
After Yan Wenxiu and the brothers arrived, Xiao Yeyang graciously came forward to greet them, "It has been hard work for you, brothers-in-law."
Yan Wenkai snorted with a laugh, "Good you know that. Let me tell you, if you dare to mistreat my sister in the future, beware my fists won’t show mercy."
Wentao added, "Mine won’t either."
Xiao Yeyang smiled, "You won’t get the chance."
It was only then that Yan Wenxiu spoke up, "Yiyi will be in your care from now on, Yeyang."
Xiao Yeyang responded confidently, "Rest assured." As he spoke, he smiled and ushered everyone into the residence.
Subsequently, case after case of dowry was carried through the grand entrance of the Prince Residence.
The Princess Consort and Luo Qiong watched from the side.
Seeing the broadly grinning and jubilant Xiao Yeyang, the Princess Consort felt so choked up, it was unbearable. Glancing at her daughter-in-law next to her, she harrumphed coldly, "This Yan family, of a humble origin, is sending a dowry that could match that of a Duke Residence."
Hearing these words, Luo Qiong’s eyes flickered rapidly. She knew her mother-in-law was indirectly criticizing her own smaller dowry. She held her breath and refrained from responding.
The Princess Consort was just looking to vent her frustration, but seeing Luo Qiong’s reaction, or lack thereof, only fanned her internal flames even more.
Seeing the Princess Consort’s face grow increasingly sour, Luo Qiong had no choice but to intentionally change the subject. "Mother-in-law, your son is returning the day after tomorrow. You know best what he likes to eat. Tell me, so I can prepare in advance."
This succeeded in distracting the Princess Consort.
On the other hand, Daohua’s dowry was being carried into Pingxi Hall, overseen by the fortunate manager and all taken to the storeroom.
Accompanying the dowry, there were also maids from the Yan Family who came to set up the bridal chamber.
Xiao Yeyang stood in front of the bridal chamber, watching the Yan Family maids arranging the bed curtains, bedding, and other room accessories, his eyes shimmering with anticipation and expectancy for the future.
...
In the blink of an eye, it was the day before Daohua’s wedding.
Seeing Yan Granny was beside herself, Daohua planned to spend the last night by her grandmother’s side. Yet, just as she was about to leave, the Madam of the Li Family came over.
