The aide felt a chill run down his spine, but he did not dare to say anything and left respectfully.
…
A few days passed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe Shen family finally accepted the fact that Shen Miao was about to marry Prince Rui. Although Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan actually did not agree with Shen Miao marrying Prince Rui, if they did not prepare the dowry well, others would think that they did not take Shen Miao seriously.
!!
Shen Xin did not want people to look down on his daughter. However, the list of betrothal gifts sent by Prince Rui was really shocking, so how to prepare the dowry became a problem.
Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan were both generals. In the early years, they had outstanding military achievements and received a lot of rewards. The two of them were not in the capital all year round, so apart from giving a portion to Old Madam Shen, these rewards were almost untouched.
However, in the two years in Spring City, they invested a lot of money into the Luo army, and the Shen family wasn’t as well-off as before.
Previously, Shen Qiu thought that Prince Rui was bragging because this betrothal gift list was enough for officials to marry ten wives. However, the next day, Tie Yi sent two golden geese at Prince Rui’s instruction, which shocked Shen Qiu so much that he almost staggered.
That was something that even the empress would find precious…
From then on, everyone believed that the Daliang Dynasty was really rich and Prince Rui was really generous. This betrothal gift was not a joke.
Shen Qiu took the initiative to give the money he saved up for his marriage to Shen Miao and said, “How can we let Sister’s dowry be less than half of the betrothal given by Prince Rui? If she goes to the Daliang Dynasty, won’t she be looked down upon? My sister has to have the best of everything. I still have some antiques and paintings that I can pawn. Although we’re poor, we can’t lose face!”
Shen Xin agreed.

The Shen family was one of the richest families in the capital. Why did Shen Qiu say that they were poor and wanted to sell the antiques in the house to gather the dowry?
If word got out, they would be made laughing stock.
Because it was the end of the year, the atmosphere in the capital was much more relaxed. Shen Miao’s marriage was granted by Emperor Wen Hui. Perhaps knowing that the Shen family was very unhappy with this marriage, Emperor Wen Hui specially granted Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan a period of leave and asked them to accompany Shen Miao until Shen Miao’s marriage was over.
Even without the permission of the emperor, Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan would still focus all their attention on Shen Miao. Shen Qiu and Luo Ling were not busy in the military at the end of the year. Over the past few days, they had been going out to buy new year goods with Luo Xueyan or helping Shen Miao.
The family was chatting in the hall. The chef had made new snacks, and the stove was burning brightly. Luo Tan smiled and looked at Shen Miao. “Cousin, you’re going to get married soon. Tomorrow, I’ll get the embroiderer to come over to measure your figure and make one for you.”
