Ning Yuanbo and Wang also looked in the direction of Princess Yu's finger.
I saw a jade pendant hanging on Han Xiangru's waist.
Most of the Dachu men wear jade, while women wear sachets.
Han Xiangru had never had a jade pendant on her body before, but now it seemed a bit suspicious.
Uncle Ning Yuan said with a dark face: "Xiangru, show me that jade pendant."
Han Xiangru had already held the jade pendant tightly in her hands, feeling extremely flustered.
This was given to her by Qin Sanlang as a token of their love, but if anyone knew about it, then...
Han Xiangru reluctantly said: "Father, what's so good about the jade pendant I bought to wear?"
Princess Yu asked: "Xiangru, since I bought it, why can't my father see it?"
Han Xiangru said bitterly: "Sister, why can't you always see me?"
Princess Yu was so angry that she laughed.
Just as she was about to say something, Uncle Ning Yuan frowned and said, "Xiangru, don't talk nonsense, bring me the jade pendant."
Seeing that she couldn't shirk it, Han Xiangru angrily pulled off the jade pendant and handed it over.
Uncle Ning Yuan took the jade pendant with a sullen face and looked at it carefully.
The quality of this jade pendant is average, but there is a small word "cloud" engraved on the bottom.
Something flashed through Ning Yuanbo's mind, and his heart skipped a beat.
The name of the third son of Qingyuan Houfu is Qin Songyun!
Ning Yuanbo suddenly said angrily: "Han Xiangru! Have you lost your mind? How dare you go to see Qin Songyun in private!"
Wang hurriedly said: "Master, don't get angry first, what if it's a misunderstanding..."
When Han Xiangru saw her father being so angry, she suddenly didn't dare to admit it.
After all, the reputation of giving and receiving in private is indeed not good.
She defended: "I don't know Qin Songyun at all! It's just a coincidence!"
Uncle Ning Yuan sneered: "It's best if you don't know her. I'll show you her tomorrow!"
Han Xiangru panicked and quickly changed her words: "This jade pendant... was indeed given to me by Mr. Qin!"
Mrs. Wang was startled and felt bad.
Sure enough, the next moment Uncle Ning Yuan raised his hand and slapped Han Xiangru directly.
He said sternly: "Have you forgotten the etiquette, justice and shame I taught you in the past? Now you dare to teach and receive privately with your foreigner. Are you going to make me angry to death?"
Princess Yu didn't expect her father to take action, so she quickly advised: "Father, if you have something to say, please speak it out."
Han Xiangru turned her head and covered her face, tears falling uncontrollably.
For her, the pain of being beaten was not as painful as being embarrassed in front of Han Wanqing!
Mrs. Wang quickly took her daughter over and saw that her face was already red and swollen. She felt distressed and said, "Master, no matter what happens to Xiangru, you can't hit her!"
Fortunately, her face was not damaged. Queen Wang said fearfully: "My daughter's face is the most delicate. What will happen if her face is damaged?"
Uncle Ning Yuan also felt a little regretful, but even after being beaten, he couldn't bear to apologize to the junior.
He said to Mrs. Wang with a cold eyebrow, "You're the one who got used to it! If the reputation of being secretly friends spreads, she will be fine with herself. Does Xiang Ning still want to get married?"
Hearing this, Wang's hand holding Han Xiangru's hand froze.
Yes, she not only has this daughter, she also has Xiang Ning.
Wang thought for a while and tentatively said: "Since this is the case, why not just agree to the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion!"
Uncle Ning Yuan hesitated for a moment.
Princess Yu reminded: "Father, this is a matter of Xiangru's whole life."
Ning Yuanbo's expression suddenly became stern: "Wanqing is right, Xiangru of the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion cannot marry!"
Han Xiangru's eyes were red and her voice was hoarse: "Han Wanqing! You just can't see me well! You used to show off in front of me, but now you want to ruin my marriage!"
Uncle Ning Yuan couldn't stand hearing it anymore and cursed: "Xiangru! Your sister is doing this for your own good! Isn't the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion..."
Han Xiangru broke the jar and said: "Master Qin and I are in love, and I will not marry him but him!"
Uncle Ning Yuan was so angry that he said, "If you don't want to get married, you can become a nun!"
Wang hurriedly said: "Master, you can't say this!"
Han Xiangru lost her voice: "Dad! Can't you make things happen for me and Young Master Qin? I only ask you for this one thing!"
Uncle Ning Yuan had a headache when he heard this, and couldn't help but look at his eldest daughter: "Wanqing, what do you think we should do about this?"
Princess Yu had already lost her temper and said, "Father, you make the decision."
She looked at Han Xiangru coldly: "There is only one thing that must be agreed in advance. If the second sister insists on getting married, in the future, matters related to the Qingyuan Hou Mansion must not come to Prince Yu's Mansion."
Han Xiangru's eyes averted and she said uncomfortably: "Shouldn't sisters help each other? Sister, you are too heartless."
Princess Yu was unmoved: "Then don't marry to Qingyuan Hou Mansion."
Han Xiangru gritted her teeth and said bitterly: "I knew you had bad intentions! I don't care about your help!"
Princess Yu only said: "Remember what you said today."
After that, she said goodbye to her father.
Uncle Ning Yuan sent away his eldest daughter, and there was another quarrel at home.
In the end, he couldn't resist his daughter and agreed to marry Qingyuan Houfu.
Soon, the Qingyuan Hou Mansion sent someone the betrothal gift.
When the people in Uncle Ning Yuan's mansion saw it, they couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
Although the betrothal gift was of sufficient weight, the items contained in it were very simple considering the status of the Marquis Mansion, and most of them were flashy items.
For example, most of the gold jewelry on the gift lists are gold-plated or gilt-looking goods, and are not worth much at all.
And those fabrics are either out of date or of bad color, and I don’t know how long they have been pressed in the warehouse.
It was even more different from the betrothal gift given by Prince Yu when he married Han Wanqing.
The servants of Uncle Ningyuan's Mansion couldn't help but murmur privately.
"The second young lady was promised by the Marquis Mansion, but the betrothal gift given to her was not even one-tenth of what was given to the eldest lady."
"How can it be compared? Prince Yu is the prince who has taken charge of the family, but the third son of the Qin family is just one of the sons of Marquis Qingyuan."
"Sigh, but this betrothal gift is too shameful. Everything is of second-class quality."
"It seems that the Qingyuan Hou Mansion is indeed a powerful force."
…
Han Xiangru was already feeling suffocated, but overhearing the maids' gossip, she suddenly had a fit.
Mrs. Wang said to Uncle Ning Yuan: "Sir, when King Yu sent so many betrothal gifts, I told you to keep some, but you insisted on giving them all back to the eldest sister as a dowry. Now that Xiangru is like this, I'm afraid she has been wronged."
Ning Yuanbo said displeasedly: "She chose this marriage herself. I will also give her all the betrothal gifts sent by the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion."
Wang rolled her eyes and asked, "Sir, how about Ru'er's dowry being larger than that of my eldest sister?"
Uncle Ning Yuan said: "Wanqing's dowry includes her own mother's share. I can only provide the dowry specified in the quotation. If you have a private house to add to the dowry, just add it."
Wang's face looked very ugly. She was a concubine, so how could she have so many private rooms?
She tightened her handkerchief: "Sir, after all, Xiangru is marrying into the Marquis' Mansion, so we can't let them take it lightly..."
Uncle Ning Yuan was dissatisfied: "The betrothal gift sent by Qingyuan Houfu is just like that, what is there to say? Besides, the uncle's property only has so much, and there are three brothers and Xiang Ning at home."
Wang stopped talking.
Although there was a huge gap in her heart, Han Xiangru finally married Qin Sanlang as she wished.
However, only she knew clearly about the warmth and warmth of her life in Qingyuan Hou Mansion.
