Yan Nantian laughed, but he still felt unsatisfied, so he continued, "Gu Ruoshan, your precious eldest and second granddaughters are not that great, are they? The eldest forced someone to take poison, and the second one picked up a sword to kill someone.
It would be fine if she killed him, but she was not as skilled as him and was knocked down by a stool. You dare to say that this kind of person is worse than my grandson's wife? Do you think my eyes are as blind as yours?"
Gu Ruoshan was so angry, but he had no way to refute. Even if he were to speak, he still felt that Gu Yuying and Gu Yurou were simply two losers. Not only did they let Lan Ke play them around, but they also caused him to lose face!
But no matter how dissatisfied he was, he couldn't admit it, otherwise he would be slapping himself in the face in public.
He couldn't refute and could only yell: "Yan Nantian, don't go too far!"
Lan Ke put away the photo stone and said fearlessly, "Senior Gu, can you return the betrothal gift now? Or have you already swallowed it and can't spit it out even if you want to?"
Gu Ruoshan was so angry that his blood boiled and he almost vomited blood.
He glared at Lan Ke sinisterly. If Yan Nantian had not been there, he would have used his status and strength to skin her alive!
Gu Heng was furious and said, "You daring witch, stop slandering me!"
Lan Ke is not even afraid of the old man Gu Ruoshan, so why would she be afraid of him
She sneered and said, "Whether it is slander or not, you two know it clearly. If you want to prove your innocence, hand over the betrothal gifts and count them in front of you. What do you think?"
Gu Ruoshan could no longer bear it, but he couldn't lose his temper in front of everyone, so he could only order: "Gu Heng! Go and get the betrothal gifts!"
Gu Heng hesitated for a moment, and was about to say something to persuade him, but was suddenly glared at by Gu Ruoshan. He could only reluctantly respond, "Yes, I'll do it right away."
Although he said this, Gu Heng was already panicking in his heart.
Among the betrothal gifts given by the royal family, several were extremely precious medicinal herbs, which had already been used by Gu Ruoshan and him. Where could they get the rest
You know, those medicinal herbs are extremely precious. Even in the inner storehouse of the Gu family, which collects treasures, there are not many in stock. Among them, there is a thousand-year-old nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum, which is the treasure among treasures. It is extremely rare in the world and does not exist at all in the inner storehouse of the Gu family!
Gu Heng left in a hurry. On the way back, he thought of Gu Ruoshan's eyes and gritted his teeth secretly.
After returning to the Gu family's warehouse and putting all the remaining betrothal gifts into the storage ring, he hurried to the Lin family to ask for help.
He remembered that the Lin family had a thousand-year-old nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum in their collection.
There is really no other choice now and they can only ask the Lin family for help.
Asking for help was not easy. As the leader of the four great families, the Lin family had a very impressive network of information. When he went there, the head of the Lin family had already received the news.
So as soon as he appeared, the Lin family guessed his purpose and immediately ridiculed him severely.
Gu Heng suppressed his dissatisfaction and said all the nice things he could. He finally convinced the Lin family's ancestor and obtained the extremely rare thousand-year-old nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum. He also acquired the remaining several precious medicinal materials with great difficulty.
Because he spent some time at the Lin family, it was a quarter of an hour later when he returned to the wedding altar at Prince Xian's Mansion.
The Lin family, Gu family and Prince Xian's Mansion are not far from each other. With his current strength, it only takes one or two minutes to go back and forth. Most of the time is spent on collecting the betrothal gifts.
Fortunately, although it took some effort and he even suffered ridicule from the Lin family, he finally managed to collect the betrothal gifts.
Therefore, when Gu Heng appeared in Prince Xian's mansion, he was very proud and had a sense of joy like a serf who had risen from the status quo to become the master.
He raised his hand and waved it, and two hundred boxes of betrothal gifts were placed in front of the altar.
Gu Heng snorted coldly: "The betrothal gifts are all here, can you take the dowry with you?"
Yan Nantian ignored him and gave the order directly: "Open the boxes and inspect the goods! Check each one with the list, and there must be no mistakes!"
This made Gu Ruoshan very angry again. They had already returned the betrothal gifts, but Yan Nantian still wanted to open the boxes and check them one by one? Was he suspecting that the Gu family had hidden something
This is really too much!
He forgot that the Gu family had already embezzled the money, so Yan Nantian was justified in his suspicion. With the Gu family's current behavior, who knows if they still have a bottom line
Gu Ruoshan watched as the palace guards actually checked the gift list one by one, and his eyes became even more sinister.
Suddenly, he turned his eyes and looked at Lan Ke with ill intent: "Brother Yan, since you said that this girl is better than my precious granddaughter, I wonder what kind of dowry she can come up with
After all, Tianheng is the eldest prince, so it's impossible for him to not be able to provide any betrothal gifts for his princess consort, right? Or do you want to use these betrothal gifts as her dowry?"
He saw that Lan Ke had an unknown origin and must have nothing. What good things could she bring out? The photo stone just now was probably the most precious thing in her hand.
He just didn't believe that Lan Ke could come up with anything else good!
But he was so angry that he didn't even think about it. If Lan Ke could hide the photo stone in front of Gu Yuying, couldn't he hide something else
Lan Ke looked at Gu Ruoshan mockingly. This old man really wouldn't cry until he saw the coffin, and wouldn't give up until he saw the Yellow River! Even at this point, he still wanted to drag her down with him!
In that case, she let him take a good look and decide whether her betrothal gift from Lan Ke was better or the betrothal gift from the Gu family was better!
She cleared her throat and chuckled, "Thank you for your consideration, Senior Gu. Although I am not as noble as Gu Yuying, I can still afford the dowry.
It just so happens that I have two pills in my hand, and I originally wanted to give them to Tian Heng privately. Since Senior Gu is curious, let everyone judge whether these two pills are comparable to the Gu family's dowry."
When Gu Ruoshan and Gu Heng heard this, they felt inexplicably unwilling. Gu Yuluo was dissatisfied with Lan Ke, so she sneered without thinking: "Who do you think you are? Who can't take out two broken pills? Only people like you would take them out as dowry, it's embarrassing!"
"Luo'er! Shut up!" Gu Ruoshan shouted angrily. He really didn't want to be embarrassed anymore. He looked at Lan Ke with a distorted face, "I don't know which two pills they are? Can you show them to me?"
"That won't do. If Senior Gu accidentally eats it, what will happen to Tian Heng?" Lan Ke rolled her eyes speechlessly in her heart, took out two small white jade bottles and handed them to Yan Nantian, "Please have a look, Senior Yan."
"What Senior Yan? Call me grandpa!" Yan Nantian glared at Lan Ke in dissatisfaction, took the two white jade bottles and opened them curiously, but the next moment his face suddenly changed and he quickly put the stoppers back.
Even though he moved quickly, two wisps of elixir fragrance still emanated.
Gu Ruoshan was far away, but he still smelled it. His face changed immediately and he exclaimed in disbelief: "This... Could this be the Marrow Cleansing Pill and the Heaven-Repairing Pill?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present exploded instantly.
