When Jiang Shan heard that Yang Fen and the others wanted him to stay in Jing City and return to the farm, he immediately refused. “Mother, you can stay in Jing City, but you have to stay at Jiang Si’s place. I heard that Jiang Si is doing well and has found a high official. Jiang Si also took in two concubines, and they were given to him by a Young Master. Jiang Si lives alone in the big courtyard, so you’d better go and take care of him. The two concubines in the manor were given by others, and you don’t have to look after them. What if the family’s property is emptied by others? At that time, how can I take care of mother and father when you’re are old?” Jiang Shan was not stupid. He immediately pushed Yang Fen and Jiang Guoyou toward Jiang Si and said with reason, “Mother, you don’t know yet, but some time ago, Jiang Si asked someone to send over 10,000 yuan to find a man named Seventh Song. In the end, Seventh Song didn’t even enter the house. How much food can 10,000 yuan buy? It’s enough to rent a shop in Happy Town for a year. Jiang Si is so extravagant. Mother, you have to do something about it. We can’t waste money like this.”
Jiang Shan’s words made Yang Fen so angry that she was about to fume. “That prodigal Jiang Si, he’s deliberately making things difficult for me, isn’t he? When I’m not around, he spends money like crazy!” Yang Fen was both shocked and angry. She was shocked that Jiang Si had so much money but did not give her a single cent. Moreover, Jiang Si had been cheated out of his money!
“Sigh, Jiang Si’s house has always been empty and no one has helped to take care of it. It’s not easy for Jiang Si to make a living in Jing City. I guess he didn’t tell you because he was afraid that you two would be implicated.” As soon as Jiang Shan’s voice fell, Yang Fen asked where Jiang Si lived, and Jiang Shan quickly pointed out the place to her. After Yang Fen and Jiang Guoyou went to find Jiang Si, Jiang Shan hummed a song and went to find Jiang Xi.
Tomorrow was a big day in the residence. The word ‘happy’ was pasted everywhere in the Jiang residence, red silk adorned the entire place. The maidservants who came and went also had smiles on their faces. The residence was filled with the dowry that Zhao Ruifeng had collected from all over the place. As an unlucky man who had finally married a wife, Zhao Ruifeng wished he could empty his entire family’s fortune! His wife only needed to be beautiful, and he would take care of the rest!
“Hurry, hurry, check everything properly. Everything has to be brought to the Zhao residence tomorrow. General Zhao has overdone it. The courtyard can’t even hold any more things.” Hong Shan took a booklet and counted the dowries. Normally, when someone got married, there would only be a dozen boxes of dowries. When it came to rich families, there would only be 180 boxes. Of course, what surprised Hong Shan was that their Young Miss, Song Yun, had emptied her family’s fortune to gather 30 boxes of dowries for Miss Jiang Xi. Miss Fang Yu, who had kidnapped the young prince, had also secretly sent someone to deliver 30 boxes of dowries. This caused Jiang Xi’s dowries to increase more and more to the point where they had become unsightly.
The most unacceptable thing for Lu Liu was that Song Yun kept calling Jiang Xi ‘Boss’. Was she serious? Even the empress’s daughter would not have as much dowry as Jiang Xi!
“Sister Hong Shan, there are almost 180 boxes of dowry.” Lu Liu scratched her head. She remembered that when the eldest princess got married, there were only 120 boxes of dowry.
Hong Shan looked at Lu Liu deeply and said, “Silly child, it’s fine no matter how much dowry Miss Jiang Xi has. After all, General Zhao is the one who profits the most. All these things would be carried to the Zhao residence in the end. Besides, General Zhao really made a fortune by marrying Miss Jiang Xi.”
Lu Liu thought about it and agreed with her. “Yes, General Zhao would make a fortune if he could marry Miss Jiang Xi!”
On the day of the wedding, the entire Jing City was in an uproar. Today, not only was Zhao Ruifeng getting married, but Zhao Panpan was also entering the palace to become the Pure Consort.
The emperor and his courtiers stood on a high vantage point and looked on. Jing City was shrouded in layers of rainbows. The rainbows were lined up side by side, looking like a tall arch, waiting for someone to pass through. Magpies circled in the sky in pairs, and birds of different colors danced and sang. Outside Jing City, there was a wild boar with fangs, and a group of wolves, tigers, and leopards. They were waiting in front of the gate with prey in their mouths. The soldiers were so scared that they quickly reported.
The crown prince stood beside the emperor and was filled with shock at the sight.
“Crown Prince, when you were born, the scene was even more spectacular than this. The entire city kneeled and worshipped you. You were a worthy son of heaven. When I offered incense to the late emperor, the incense directly floated to the sky, and there was a faint sign of a dragon soaring.” The emperor sighed. When the crown prince was born, it was so spectacular, but after that, he always felt that the crown prince was not as outstanding as he was when he was born.
