Lord, I have

Chapter 224 I have already planned to cheat the marriage

After Ling Tao took it, he turned his face and turned black, "Mu Changhuan, this little bastard, planned to cheat the marriage a long time ago. It's only been a few days since the betrothal gift has been fully prepared. How much money is he greedy for? Oh my god, You can buy half of the Jin Kingdom!"

Ling Tao's eyes almost fell out when he looked at the dowry gift that he remembered clearly from page to page.

Mu Changhuan has been greedy for so many years, and the emperor doesn't care about it?
"Master Hou, no matter what, Mu Changhuan's sincerity is there. The subordinates feel that let alone a eunuch marrying a wife, even if the prince marries a wife three months later, it won't be so generous." Ling Dong comforted Ling Tao from the side.

Ling Tao frowned into a big knot, "I'll go outside the city."

Ling Tao took the betrothal gift list from the Mu Mansion and planned to show Yu Zizhen and Ling Shengge. Although Mu Changhuan paid a lot of money, if his wife and daughter were not satisfied, he would ask Mu Changhuan to sell the underpants and continue to increase the betrothal gift.

Just after leaving the study, the maid in the old lady Yang's yard ran to find Ling Tao, saying that the old lady invited him over.

Ling Tao came to Yang's courtyard and saw Aunt Jiang and Aunt Guan who were rarely seen on weekdays were there. The little Yang in the second bedroom saw a smug expression on Ling Tao's face but immediately covered it up.

So what if Ling Qiandie married the prince, but Ling Shengge was going to marry a eunuch, which was really embarrassing.

"Mother, why are you looking for your son?"

Yang took a look at Ling Tao and couldn't help snorting, "I'm afraid that the news that our lady from the Hou family is going to marry a eunuch will be spread to other countries, and everyone will be killed."

Aunt Guan squeezed Yang's shoulders from the side, "Madam, after all, this is a marriage bestowed by the emperor, and the Marquis can't help it."

Yang looked heartbroken, "Tao'er, marrying an eunuch, what is this? It's all Si girl's fault, when will you provoke a eunuch?"

"Mother, the imperial decree is hard to disobey. I can't disobey the decree and let the whole family lose their heads? This matter was originally made by the emperor. What does it have to do with Sheng'er? Sheng'er has been wronged for making such a big sacrifice. Mother doesn't want it." Let's talk about her."

The more Yang thought about it, the more she felt a headache, "Tao'er, can't you tell the emperor to wait for Qiandie to marry the crown prince before letting that girl marry Shengge? Parents and children are orderly, and Qiandie's happy event will only happen again in the past few months." It's not a long time, so what's the matter with the younger sister marrying first?"

If Ling Qiandie married first, everyone's eyes would be focused on the fact that Dingyuanhou's mansion had a crown prince. When Ling Shengge married an eunuch, he would keep a low profile and not attract people's attention.

This is a good time, if Ling Shengge gets married first, wouldn't that attract the attention of the entire Ling'an City people to the Hou Mansion?

"Mother, the date of marriage cannot be changed, unless you resist the order." Ling Tao's words were very firm.

"It can't be changed?" Yang's face darkened, "Then let Ling Shengge marry off from Zhuangzi, and don't go back to the Hou's mansion to embarrass others."

Ling Tao originally wanted to show Yang Shi the dowry list sent by the Supervisor of Ceremonies, but when he heard what Yang said, his hand dropped.

Sheng'er must be by Madam's side when she gets married, since his mother doesn't want Sheng'er to go back to the Hou's Mansion, it will save him the trouble of taking his wife into the Hou's Mansion.

Although he breathed a sigh of relief, Ling Tao felt a little frustrated, "I know, I won't let my mother worry about it."

"Master Hou, do you want to give the fourth miss a concubine when she gets married?" Aunt Guan looked at Ling Tao with fiery eyes.

Ling Tao glanced at her indifferently, "No, it's enough for Aunt Jiang to go."

Seeing Ling Tao leaving without even looking at her, Aunt Guan almost gritted her teeth.

"Old madam, is Lord Hou unhappy? Is it because of what the maid and concubine said just now?" Aunt Guan looked at Yang sympathetically.

Yang snorted, "He is not angry with you, he is obviously angry with me! I am getting more and more incomprehensible to him, and he treats a loser who shames the Hou family as a treasure."

Aunt Jiang lowered her head and said nothing, the old lady's words really became more and more vicious.

Ling Tao rode to the outside of the city, and saw Ling Shengge kicking shuttlecock with Xiaoyue and Bell in the yard carelessly, laughing very happily, he was in a much better mood.

"Father, go on." Ling Shengge kicked the chicken feather shuttlecock in front of Ling Tao.

Ling Tao took it with one kick and kicked it back.

Xiaoyue and Lingdang saw that Master Hou and Miss were about to compete, and the two of them stood aside to encourage them.

"Stop playing, stop playing, I'm tired!" Ling Shengge stopped playing chess after losing two games, which reminded Ling Tao of how she always regretted playing chess with him when she was a child.

"Go and wash your face, where's your mother?"

"Mother is embroidering a wedding dress for me!" Ling Shengge grinned.

"Girl, are you getting married or your mother? I'm not afraid to tire your mother." Ling Tao entered the room dissatisfied.

Ling Shengge murmured softly, "It's as if I know everything."

"Miss, the servants all told you to learn how to be a girl, but you don't want to." Ling Dang interjected, "Which girl can't stand still when she gets married?"

"I'm afraid I'll accidentally pierce my hand. Wouldn't it be auspicious if the blood stained the wedding dress red? Well, I'll go and embroider two stitches later."

Hearing what Ling Shengge said, the bell trembled, "Forget it, miss, you'd better not touch it, what if you really prick your finger?"

Ling Shengge happily ran to wash her face. There are only six days left before the wedding and she still doesn't have the consciousness of getting married yet!
Ling Tao walked into Yu Zizhen's room and saw Yu Zizhen sitting in front of the window, embroidering stitches. Seeing her tranquil appearance, Ling Tao's heart instantly calmed down.

"Zhener, take a break!" Ling Tao went to the table and sat down.

"Master Hou, your head is sweaty, go wash it first!"

"I'm going to take a shower, the sun is too strong right now, be careful to hurt your eyes." Ling Tao snatched the needle and thread from Yu Zizhen's hand and put it on the table.

The corners of Yu Zizhen's mouth curled up slightly, "Okay, I'll make you some tea."

Ling Tao handed the book recording the betrothal gift in his arms to Yu Zizhen, "The betrothal gift from Mu's residence will be delivered tomorrow. You can take a look and if you are not satisfied, you can bring it up with that bastard Mu Changhuan."

Yu Zizhen held the betrothal booklet and looked at it for a long time, but she didn't finish it when Ling Tao came back from the shower.

Seeing that Ling Tao's hair was wet, Yu Zizhen pulled him to sit down and wiped his wet hair with a towel.

"Master Hou, this dowry is too much."

"A lot? I don't see much. We, Sheng'er, suffered a lot from marrying him. Even if we sold him to raise a dowry, it wouldn't be an exaggeration."

All the fathers in the world have the same mentality. Daughters are priceless, and all the men who snatch their daughters are petty brats.

Yu Zizhen was amused by Ling Tao's coaxing tone, "Master Hou, no matter how much dowry he offers, we will not keep it, and in the end we will give it back to others."

"Even if you take it back, it will be with Sheng'er's dowry. From then on, it will be Sheng'er's own and has nothing to do with that bastard Mu Changhuan."

Ling Tao feels that even if his daughter reunites with Mu Changhuan in the future and holds so much capital in her hands, she won't be at a disadvantage.

"Father, mother, what are you talking about?" Ling Shengge had already showered and changed, and ran over refreshed to see her parents showing affection!
"Sheng'er, look at this." Yu Zizhen handed the betrothal booklet to Ling Shengge.

Ling Shengge's cheeks twitched after taking a look. Although she didn't know many traditional Chinese characters, the densely packed small characters had already dazzled her.

"Father, is this a eunuch or a corrupt official? Where did he find so many things? The emperor doesn't care about him?"

Ling Tao couldn't help laughing when he heard that Ling Shengge had the same thoughts as he did when he saw the betrothal booklet for the first time.

"Father is just like what you think, Mu Changhuan is even more corrupt than a corrupt official."

Hearing her father call Mu Changhuan the bastard Ling Shengge felt a little awkward. Although the name was the same, she always substituting Mu Changhuan's face consciously.

Ling Tao became stupid when he mentioned Mu Changhuan's name, it's over, he slipped the tongue.

However, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief seeing Ling Shengge's expression of no surprise. He probably didn't pay attention to her just now.

"Zhen'er, mother said... let Sheng'er get married here." Ling Tao looked at Yu Zizhen with some guilt.

Yu Zizhen was very calm, "Master Hou, it's fine to get married here, I can see Sheng'er get married with my own eyes, and I don't need to hide."

Ling Tao stood up and put his arms around Yu Zizhen's shoulders, "It stands to reason that Sheng'er is going to get married from Dingyuanhou's residence in a splendid manner."

Yu Zizhen smiled slightly, "Sheng'er, do you mind?"

Ling Shengge looked at the betrothal gift booklet fancifully, and immediately raised her head when she heard her mother's question.

"I don't mind, I don't mind. It's enough for my daughter to have her parents by her side when she gets married. Xiaoyue and Lingdang will always be by my side. When the time comes, Aunt Jiang and elder brothers and sisters will be invited, and others will be fine."

Yu Zizhen glanced at Ling Tao, "Sheng'er doesn't mind us, what else do we mind?"

Ling Tao tightened his arms around her shoulders, "I have prepared Sheng'er's dowry, and I will definitely not make people laugh at Sheng'er."

Yu Zizhen leaned her head lightly on his shoulder, "My dowry was also given to Sheng'er back then, so we can't make too much difference with the Mu family offering so many betrothal gifts."

Ling Tao thought that Yu Zizhen brought a lot of dowry with her when she married from Yu Country. All her dowry was in the warehouse of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion. When she went to Yongle County, she didn't take a penny with her. Later, Lingxi disappeared and lost her source of income, so she had to make money by selling embroidery.

"I'll prepare Sheng'er's dowry, but keep your dowry for now!" Ling Tao knew that the dowry that Yu Zizhen brought from Yu Kingdom was quite precious jewels and jades, and a twelve-panel screen alone was enough. The frame of white jade, the exquisite embroidery on it is extremely precious.

Yu Zizhen saw that Ling Shengge was holding the dowry brochure and read it intently, she smiled slightly, "I have you by my side, why do you keep the dowry?"

Ling Tao looked at Yu Zizhen in disbelief, "Really!"

"After Hou Ye returned to the mansion, he also listed Sheng'er's dowry in a booklet. This is the key to my dowry storeroom. Hou Ye will keep it."
