Su Xiu wiped her tears with a handkerchief, feeling a million and ten thousand reluctance in her heart.
But what can she do? As Madam said, the deal is done, you have to marry if you marry, and you have to marry if you don’t marry.
Su Xiu gradually stopped crying, Ye Minghao came up and patted her on the face: "Okay, I'm leaving."
After Su Xiu got dressed, she returned to Haitang Court where she lived, and lay on the bed absentmindedly.
She felt a little hopeless in her heart, she couldn't marry the person she liked, and the Anyang Hou Mansion cut off her back again.
Now she is going to marry the eldest son of King Mingjun, who was originally "selected" by Mrs. Su for Su Ying.
Su Xiu slept until dark, and then felt hungry. The girl brought her a bowl of soup: "Miss, you haven't eaten all day, should you eat some?"
Su Xiu responded vaguely, stood up, and just picked up the spoon when she heard the girl's message: "Miss, Miss San is here."
Whenever Su Xiu thinks of Su Luan, she hates her so much!
The eldest son of King Mingjun obviously asked to marry the third lady, why did he become her now, why did she have to bear the pain!
Su Luan came in with a smile, and said softly, "Big sister, congratulations, you have found such a good husband."
Su Xiu looked at Su Luan, smiling innocently, but those eyes were full of strong mockery.
Su Xiu's chest heaved violently, and her gaze was full of resentment.
Su Luan knew the whole story from Mrs. Su just now, knowing that Su Xiu married the eldest son of King Mingjun for her, she couldn't tell how happy she was.
Before, she was disappointed why Su Ying didn't marry the eldest son of King Mingjun, but now it's the same with Su Xiu, anyway, it's not her.
At this moment, Su Luan stared at a pair of innocent eyes: "Big sister was still sad because Anyang Hou Fu came to divorce the engagement, but now there is another good marriage."
Having said that, Su Luan covered her lips and smiled.
The nameless fire in Su Xiu's heart is burning more and more intensely. What is the difference between Su Luan's current appearance and the expression that deliberately praised Su Ying that day
She even had the urge to splash the bowl of soup in front of Su Luan on Su Luan's face.
It's just that before Su Xiu did anything, she heard Su Luan say with a smile: "Mother loves Eldest Sister very much, and she is preparing a dowry for Eldest Sister, but it is an extremely rich dowry."
Su Xiu thought about it, although Mrs. Su framed herself in this way, if she really prepared a dowry for her, it would be for her face.
Thinking of this, Su Xiu felt much more at ease.
On the second day, Madam sent someone to bring a box of dowry over. Although the whole box was not much in quantity, it was expensive because of its exquisiteness. At a glance, every piece of jewelry exuded the luster of gold.
Su Xiu glanced at it calmly, and immediately smiled: "Thank you, mother."
"When Xiu'er gets married, mother will naturally prepare a dowry for you." Mrs. Su smiled very gently, she reached out and patted the back of Su Xiu's hand, "After you get married, you will be a big girl, you have always been A well-behaved and sensible child, mother knows that you can be a good daughter-in-law of Ming County Prince's Mansion."
Su Xiu smiled slightly, but ignored the box: "Thank you mother for the compliment."
Mrs. Su said something to Su Xiu again, it was nothing more than to serve her in-laws, be a good daughter-in-law, serve a good husband, be a good wife, and so on.
Su Fu left after talking for a while, Su Xiu couldn't wait to take out these jewelry to play with, she looked over and over again, weighed it, and then realized that this jewelry is very light.
Her heart sank suddenly, and she scratched lightly with her hand, and found that after scraping off the outermost layer of gold foil, the inside was actually filled with copper.
Seeing that Mrs. Su hadn't gone far, Su Xiu hurriedly chased after her.
Because she was running too fast, she couldn't breathe freely: "Mother, the Mingjun Palace has sent so many dowry gifts, how can you prepare such a dowry for me? These dowries are all made of copper."
Mrs. Su's complexion darkened. At this moment, she didn't have the look of a loving mother just now. There was a bit of sarcasm on her face: "Why, before you get married, you think of yourself as a member of the Ming County Prince's Mansion?"
Su Xiu opened her mouth, and Mrs. Su took out the IOU that Su Xiu had signed before, and handed it to Su Xiu: "This is the IOU that you signed yourself."
Su Xiu looked at the note in Mrs. Su's hand and felt her head go dark.
"You owe me so much silver, and you expect me to give you a whole box of gold jewelry? I also spent some time preparing for your dowry." Mrs. Su chuckled: "The dowry I will take care of it. After deducting these dowry gifts, you still owe me 91,500 taels of silver. If you don't want to repay my debt in the future, I will sue Mingjun Wangfu. 2C When you are in that house But it's hard to stay... "
Su Xiu listened to the threat in his wife's voice, and felt angry and hated in her heart, wishing to take the note and tear it up!
The expression on Mrs. Su's face quickly subsided, she took her hand and patted it lightly: "Xiu'er, the Su family is your natal family after all, you should weigh it yourself."
Su Xiu looked at his wife's back with a gloomy expression on his face.
The madam plotted step by step, causing her to lose herself to Ye Minghao, who had a very bad reputation, and forced her to marry Ye Minghao.
Now he calculated her dowry and asked her to marry with a box of copper jewelry.
Su Xiu's hands under her long sleeves were tightly clenched into fists. She was very unwilling, but there was nothing she could do.
Su Xiu gradually figured it out, Ye Minghao is a man with a bad reputation, he is said to be obsessed with masculinity and never looks at women.
But it's not that he doesn't like women, he is the only son in Ming County Palace, and he must carry on the family line. Su Xiu thought that with such an appearance and talent, why couldn't a man be subdued by her.
Besides, Ye Minghao was handsome and powerful in his family, so there was nothing wrong with that.
Instead, he stayed in Su's residence and was bullied by his wife, even the dowry was only given such a lousy thing.
As long as she gave birth to a child and secured her position as the mistress of the Ming County Prince's Mansion, would her life be worse in the future
Thinking of this, Su Xiu felt much better for a while.
Ye Minghao quickly chose a good day and auspicious day to come to marry her.
On this day, Su Xiu was wearing a bright red wedding gown, with delicate makeup painted on her face, and was supported by her mother into the sedan chair.
Su Xiu felt a little wronged thinking about the two boxes of bronze dowry, but at the same time looking at the bright red side in front of her, she was still faintly excited.
Thinking of the unknown days in the future, I have some expectations in my heart.
