Chapter 3 I don't want a marriage contract, only a dowry
Soon came the wedding of Shen Sichen and Xie Ruowei.
The streets and alleys are lit up with lights, revealing a festive atmosphere everywhere. The marriage of the first noble son of Shengjing broke the hearts of many boudoir girls and the eyes of many women to be married.
The Shen family is no exception, the servants and maids are busy, but Shen Sichen is leisurely watering flowers in his yard.
"Ouch, my son, today is your big day, what flowers are you watering?" His little scholar, Li Zhong, ran in and took his kettle.
"The person I marry is not the person I want to marry, and I don't want to marry someone who is scheming." He turned and went into the house.
"Oh, we'll talk about what Childe has later."
After a period of persuasion, he went into the house and changed his wedding clothes.
At this time, the Shen family had already sent someone to pick up the relatives.
The sedan chair had already arrived at the door, but he was still motionless, and he had no intention of receiving kisses.
If it weren't for Ruan Jiuge, how could he apply to be transferred back to Shengjing and promise to marry the Xie family; If it weren't for the search for the descendants of the Ruan family, how could he still stay in the capital now.
Looking at Xie Ruowei, who was walking in step by step, he moved his finger behind him, suggesting that the person hiding in the corner was ready to make a move.
"What? Is my sister going to marry my sister? Before he could give the order, a heavenly voice came from outside the door.
He paused, and before the order was given, he withdrew his hint.
He looked at Ruan Li, who walked in in a white shirt, and he remembered the scene where they met, and he seemed to understand when.
Ruan Li is the descendant of the Ruan family. However, the news he got was that she was a fool, and now it seems that she is not only not stupid, but also very smart, what is going on?
He found a good position and planned to see what was about to happen.
Looking at Shen Sichen, who looked like a good show in the room, Ruan Li had an idea in her heart.
"Presumptuous, the Shen family's compound still can't tolerate you messing around." Xie Hua's slightly old voice came, "Today is the day of my Xie family and the Shen family's marriage, how can I allow you to mess around here." β
"Master Xie, oh no, I think I should call you father, everyone knows who made the marriage contract with the Shen family." She glanced lightly at her father, whom she had never met, and her eyes were extremely indifferent.
Xie Hua was stunned for a moment, he seemed to see Ruan Jiuge before.
"You shrew, what is your intention to make a big fuss about my daughter's wedding?" Seeing that Xie Hua didn't speak, Qian Lihua and the Qian family secretly said badly, "What evidence do you have to prove that you are the eldest daughter of my Xie family, who knows if you want to slander people." β
"Really? Ma'am, I just wanted to see my fiancΓ©. Ruan Li looked at the thunderous Qian and smiled, "As for identity, doesn't this face of mine say anything?" What's more, the peach blossom birthmark on my body is not something that everyone can have. β
When Xie Hua heard this, he raised his head suddenly.
Yes, no one will know about the peach blossom birthmark on his daughter's body except for him and Jiu Ge.
His eyes were full of tears, and he wanted to step forward to touch his daughter, but was pulled by Qian.
"Master, you can't take her word for it. You forget, the news we got was different from the woman in front of us. β
Sure enough, Xie Hua heard this and withdrew his feet.
When the people around heard this, they also talked about it, and it was rumored in Sheng Jingzhong that the eldest daughter of the Xie family was a fool. Now it seems that this woman is indeed a fake.
Looking at this scene, Ruan Li couldn't help but sneer, her face was still calm and calm, and she took out a piece of paper from her sleeve, "If Madam doesn't believe it, you can see what this is?" β
Everyone took a closer look, it was King Yun's letter, and there was also the chapter of King Yun's mansion.
Others don't know, but Xie Hua knows that Ruan Jiuge is King Yun's long-lost sister, and when King Yun wanted to take her home, she insisted on staying in Shengjing.
King Yun is the emperor's most trusted person, and the chapter of King Yun's Mansion is even more unique, no one dares to imitate it, let alone imitate it.
"You really are my daughter." Now, no matter what the Qian family says, Xie Hua no longer believes the Qian family.
Putting the letter back in her sleeve and taking a few steps back, Ruan Li said slowly, "Now that the matter is clear, I have to ask, it was my marriage contract, and my sister took it, why did I embezzle the dowry left to me by my mother as my sister's dowry?" β
Before she came, she investigated and found out that all the dowries left to her by her mother were taken by the Qian mother and daughter.
"I didn't expect it, these more than 500 lifts are actually the dowry of the eldest daughter of the Xie family, this is the second wife's encroachment on the original property?"
The people around looked at the already red-eyed dowry, and now they found a point of ridicule.
Listening to the surrounding discussions, Xie Ruowei ripped off the red hijab on her head, and she didn't make a sound, just afraid that she would become the laughing stock of Quan Shengjing tomorrow.
"Sister, my mother is also for the good of our family. Isn't this thinking about marrying a beautiful scene, since she is a member of the Xie family, her sister can't abandon the Xie family. "Since Ruan Li has been recognized by her father, she can only start elsewhere.
Hearing this, the people around them also changed the direction of the wind, accusing Ruan Li of ignoring the interests of the family and only caring about herself.
Listening to the words of the woman in front of her, she was not annoyed, but retorted gently, "Sister, I have been without a mother since I was a child, and now my sister still wants to take away the only thing my mother left me?" I don't want a marriage contract, but the dowry must be paid back to me. β
"You...... The marriage contract was set by the father, and the dowry was also hand-picked by the concubine, so my sister can't watch my sister marry like this. Xie Ruowei looked like she was about to cry.
She looked at the person in front of her who was pretending to be affectionate, tsk, this is trying to restrain her with family affection.
"My sister has been clothed and fed since she was a child, and she doesn't know what money means to me, but my sister and I have been displaced since I was a child, and besides, it is the meaning of King Yun to get back the dowry."
Isn't it just a backer? She has it too.
At this moment, everyone present had nothing to say. After all, it was King Yun who had a lifelong friendship with the emperor.
"Si Chen, look at her." Seeing this, Xie Ruowei had to hurry to pull Shen Sichen.
Hearing this, everyone looked at Ruan Li with an expression that you were finished.
Who knows, the person concerned looked at Shen Sichen without any expression.
"Don't look at me like that." Shen Sichen frowned.
Xie Ruowei lifted her chin to Ruan Li with a little smugness, only to see her take something out of her sleeve.
The expressions of everyone who were waiting to see Ruan Li's show instantly became ugly, and the boudoir women present were all envious on their faces.
"Does Shen Gongzi recognize this?" Ruan Li picked up the jade pendant in her hand and shook it.
Only then did Shen Sichen realize that she had probably misunderstood her words.
"Of course, I gave it to the girl myself."
"Today, I will return my things to their rightful owners." There is a clear line between the two in her words.
"Girl, there is no reason for me to take back what Shen Sichen sent."
"But I don't want a marriage contract, I just want my dowry."
"You take it, you take it, and you take the dowry." Xie Ruowei was afraid that Ruan Li would mess up her marriage with Shen Sichen, and she couldn't take care of the dowry.
"I said that what I gave away would not be taken back. The marriage contract and the dowry are yours. β
"The little girl is blessed, she can't enter the lintel of the Shen family, and she just wants to be a couple for the rest of her life." Ruan Li threw the jade pendant to Shen Sichen and took the opportunity to glance at Xie Hua.
Xie Hua touched his nose in a daze, and he said the same to Ruan Jiuge at the beginning, "Ah Ruan, since this is what King Yun meant, then you can return to Xie Mansion in a few days." β
"Okay." Ruan Li didn't twist either, just so she could get back what belonged to her, "At that time, I will ask Mrs. to count the dowry." In this way, I will not disturb the two of them to get married. β
Without further pause, she bowed and turned away.
When the people of the Xie family breathed a sigh of relief, they heard Shen Sichen speak, "Everyone, please forgive me for having some trouble, I won't get married this time." β
He ripped off the hydrangea on his body, strode out of the hall, and bumped into his father and mother who were walking towards him, "Chen'er, where are you going?" β
"Find a fiancΓ©e."
