Venomous Empress Reborn-Chapter 816 - Betrothal Gift (5)

816 Betrothal Gift (5)

Everyone in the Shen family felt as if they had been struck by a shocking lightning.

Logically speaking, the dowry had to be equivalent in value. Although it did not have to be more than the betrothal gifts, it could not be too far apart. Otherwise, when a girl went to her in-laws’ house, she would be disdained. If the dowry was very generous, the girl would be respected. Therefore, the more dowry, the better.

Shen Xin naturally doted on his daughter, but as for the dowry… Prince Rui had given the Shen family so many betrothal gifts. Even if he emptied the entire Ming Qi treasury, he wouldn’t be able to prepare a dowry equivalent in value.

Prince Rui gave the Shen family a problem.

…

At night, Shen Miao sat under the light and thought of Tie Yi singing happily with a long betrothal gift list in his hand during the day. She couldn’t help but want to laugh.

Xie Jingxing actually wrote so many betrothal gifts. Shen Miao held her forehead. If word spread, the Shen family would probably be envied by everyone in Ming Qi. However, it was only a matter of time before word spread.

However, Shen Miao did not know if Emperor Yong Le knew that Xie Jingxing had squandered so much money. As she thought about it, Shen Miao felt a little sad.

In her previous life, when she married Fu Xiuyi, Fu Xiuyi’s betrothal gift was pathetic. At that time, Fu Xiuyi said he was frugal by nature and didn’t want to hold a grand wedding, so Shen Miao believed him. Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan were afraid that she would suffer, so they took out more than half of the Shen family’s assets to make a dowry for her.

In the end, the dowry was all used up by Fu Xiuyi.

In order to rope people in, Fu Xiuyi had to spend money. She managed the money carefully and even sold some antiques and paintings in the Shen family to make up for the deficit. Now that she thought about it, after marrying Fu Xiuyi for so many years, she had always been the one sacrificing, and Fu Xiuyi had never reciprocated anything.

Especially after ascending the throne, Fu Xiuyi’s generosity to Concubine Mei was like a slap to her face.

Now that she was going to marry Xie Jingxing, she could describe with words how she felt. She was tempted, but she was not as wild with joy as in her previous life. However, what Xie Jingxing gave her far exceeded her imagination.

It actually made her look forward to this marriage.

The window was “knocked” twice. Shen Miao looked up and saw Cong Yang wandering outside, so she opened the window. When Cong Yang saw her, he first bowed to her and said, “Young Madam, Master asked me to bring you over.”

Shen Miao nodded and said, “Okay.” Coincidentally, she also had something to say to Xie Jingxing.

When Shen Miao arrived at Prince Rui’s mansion, the servants stopped what they were doing and shouted at her respectfully, “Young Madam!” free𝓌𝗲𝒃𝓃𝒐𝐯𝒆𝙡. 𝑐𝗼ｍ

Shen Miao was speechless.

Cong Yang chuckled and said, “Young Madam, everyone likes you very much.”

Shen Miao felt a little awkward and had mixed feelings.

When Cong Yang led her to the backyard of Prince Rui’s mansion, she saw a snow-white furball pounce on her from afar and bite the corner of her shirt happily.
