Chapter 117 - 117 119 The Super Luxurious Bridal Gift

?Chapter 117: Chapter 119: The Super Luxurious Bridal Gift Chapter 117: Chapter 119: The Super Luxurious Bridal Gift Housekeeper Zhu cleared his throat after speaking, gave a bow to Feng Bailing, and took a newly prepared list of bridal gifts from the servant’s hands.

“Prince Shun’s Mansion, Prince Wu, seeks the hand of Princess Shengping, with the following betrothal gifts: a large estate, several servants, craftsmen, and cooks, gold by ten thousand taels. Two Buddha gold statues, ten sets of precious trousseaus, two golden bookshelves, one thousand volumes of rare ancient books, ten golden jade hairpins, ten heaps of East Sea Night Pearls, two pieces of Red Jade Coral, twenty Daye brocade quilted mattresses, ten century-old ginseng roots, ten stalks of hundred-year-old Ganoderma, twenty portions of ancient medicine recipes, ten Beiqi Hanxue Horses, and fifty guards.”

Having reported all in one breath, Feng Bailing was taken aback, and Dongfang Lianhua’s grip on her daughter’s hand relaxed unconsciously.

The people from Feng Mansion were all silent as sparrows, while Feng Xiangxue’s eyes rounded in astonishment.

Wasn’t it said Dugu Wu was a cripple?

Feng Ruoyan was even more filled with envy and jealousy.

Could it be that Dugu Wu was a rich cripple?

The smile on Princess Consort Shun’s face froze.

“Housekeeper Zhu, how come I am not aware of any of these betrothal gifts! As the matriarch of Prince Mansion, I should review the list of gifts before they can be considered valid.”

What, was Dugu Wu intending to give all of Prince Shun’s Mansion’s wealth to that woman?

The expression on Princess Consort Shun’s face changed unpredictably, and if it weren’t for the public setting, she would have already burst out in anger.

“Your Highness, Princess Consort, all of these are the prince’s personal assets. Ever since the prince joined the army, he has not asked for money from Prince Shun’s Mansion, and he even provides an annual subsidy to the mansion. According to the law, the prince has the right to dispose of his personal assets, and nobody except the Emperor has the right to question it.”

Not to mention, even Emperor Yongye was not fully aware of many of the prince’s private possessions.

Housekeeper Zhu was an old member of Prince Shun’s Mansion, and he knew very well how much they had taken from the prince over the years.

It goes without saying that the prince has treated this new Princess Consort differently.

The first three Princess Consorts’ betrothal gifts were all drafted by Princess Consort Shun herself.

The people from Feng Mansion understood; Dugu Wu had done it on purpose. He had deliberately made two sets of betrothal gifts, all to prevent Feng Zhanlian from getting his hands on Feng Bailing’s betrothal gifts.

“Housekeeper Zhu, with all those bridal gifts you mentioned, don’t tell me it’s all talk and no delivery.”

Feng Zhan Tian said sourly, had he known this would happen, he should have married Ruoyan to Prince Wu.

But when Housekeeper Zhu and Princess Consort Shun arrived, they only had one horse carriage and a few servants, aside from that infuriating list of betrothal gifts, they saw no gold or medicine, nothing.

Anyone can brag.

Seventh Prince is indeed Emperor Yongye’s own son, yet he could only offer those bridal gifts.

What gave Dugu Wu, merely Emperor Yongye’s lackey, the right to spend lavishly to marry Feng Sanwu, a woman whose engagement was broken off?

As if he had anticipated it, Housekeeper Zhu took out a house deed and a land deed from his sleeve and respectfully presented them to Feng Bailing.

“This is the contract for the former Duke An’s Mansion; please accept it, Princess. All the bridal gifts listed earlier have been placed inside Princess’ Mansion, and you may review them one by one.”

Having said that, Housekeeper Zhu walked over to the entrance of Duke An’s Mansion and clapped his hands.

The deep gate of the grand Duke An’s Mansion suddenly opened.

Dozens of strong and powerful guards and dozens of maids and nannies came out one after another, loudly saying.

“Greetings to Princess Shengping.”

From now on, they would serve Princess Shengping as their master.

“I wonder what Dugu Wu is thinking?”

Feng Bailing felt that these engagement gifts were somewhat burning hot in her hands.

All for the face of Duke An’s Mansion.

Feng Bailing lowered her gaze, her ears turning slightly red, with a shy and timid expression.

“In life we promise each other solidarity; I will hold your hand and grow old with you. My heart is filled with gratitude for Prince’s profound affection and can only accept this generous gift with thanks. Please, Housekeeper Zhu, convey my gratitude to the Prince on my behalf.”

What elegant writing!

Housekeeper Zhu secretly marveled.

Who said Princess Feng is neither talented in literature nor competent in martial arts, and utterly useless? These four lines alone could probably outshine the foremost literary lady, Crown Princess Consort Nalan.

The plaque with “Princess’ Mansion” carved by a renowned scholar from Great Chu hung prominently at the former entrance of Duke An’s Mansion, striking and majestic!

Feng Bailing, accompanied by Dongfang Lianhua, entered the Princess’ Mansion. Mother and daughter counted the inventory, finding that the entire Duke An’s Mansion had been refurbished anew.

In fact, Dugu Wu prepared even more than what was listed on the gift inventory. There was a Pearwood carved bed, a variety of books and instruments, and even Feng Xiaoli’s living quarters were properly furnished.

In the Princess’ Mansion stables, a litter of piglets was specially raised for Feng Xiaoli to play with, simply because he one day inadvertently heard Xiaoli’s continuous longing for the piglets at the neighboring villa in Other Manor.

Princess Consort Shun, upon seeing the dazzling array inside Duke An’s Mansion — more luxurious than even Prince Shun’s Mansion — left in a fury without even taking the horse carriage, taking a gloomy Housekeeper Zhu with her.

Fifty thousand taels of gold, a duke’s mansion that rightfully belonged to the Feng Family, and countless treasures — all of this compared to the meager engagement gifts Dongfang Li gave to Feng Xiangxue could hardly fill one firewood storage room of the Princess’ Mansion.

Aunt Xue felt a surge of resentment stuck in her throat, nearly choking her. She covertly signaled her maidservant, who stealthily slipped away to inform Old Madam Feng of what had happened.

Old Madam Feng, who had been upset about losing Duke An’s Mansion and refusing to eat for days with a pained heart, instantly dropped her act of illness and abandoned her Jiutou Stick. She rushed out as fast as she could.

“Ah Ling, my dear granddaughter. Now that you’ve acquired wealth, you must not forget your grandmother and your father, and your uncle’s family. Look at Duke An’s Mansion, how spacious and luxurious it is. It’ll be empty when you marry; why not let the family move in?”

Old Madam Feng’s aged face lit up with excitement, filled with greed, blocking the entrance to the Princess’ Mansion.

“Old Madam Feng, I have neither a father who sold his own daughter, nor a grandmother who bullied my mother, nor an uncle who embezzled the Princess’ Mansion’s property.”

Feng Bailing spoke with a smile, her words laced with barbs.

Upon hearing this, Old Madam Feng’s face instantly changed.

She sat down right in front of the Princess’ Mansion gates, wailing and crying,
“I cannot live on! The Princess’ Mansion is oppressing the good people; they’re trying to starve our entire family to death. They dine in luxury inside, while our family is left to starve in the cold wind. Dongfang Lianhua, don’t think you can enjoy your life alone without us. If you don’t let us move in, I will smash my head and die right in front of the Princess’ Mansion.”

Old Madam Feng made as if to bang her head against the door.

Dongfang Lianhua’s face changed and she let out a breath.

“Someone let the dogs out.”

Out from the Princess’ Mansion rushed several fierce hounds, like wolves and tigers, shooting out like arrows.

When Duke An’s Mansion was cleared out, the guard dogs were not taken away and were bought by Dugu Wu all together.

Dongfang Lianhua, upon seeing them earlier, didn’t understand the purpose of raising these wolf-like dogs, but now, they quickly proved their use.

Old Madam Feng, who was refusing to get up just moments ago, now ran for her life. Within a few steps, the ferocious dogs were upon her. Tongues lolling, eyes gleaming with a chilling light, the leading dog leaped forward, biting Old Madam Feng’s heel.
