Chapter 306 Marriage
"Look, the dowry of the An family head is being carried over!"
"I saw that the box was full of top-quality jade, and the contract on it seemed to be about a mine!"
"His-"
"No way, am I seeing things?!"
Immediately, someone voiced their opposition.
"When the dowry is delivered to the Jiang Prince's mansion, there will be a display, right? Although we can't go in, others can. We can ask them then if we've made a mistake!"
In fact, those present had already begun to believe it to some extent.
The dowry was delivered to the front courtyard of the Jiang Prince's Mansion. All 108 dowry items needed to be opened and displayed.
"My God, there really is a jade mine!"
"This box contains a silver mine!"
"Look at this box! Is there gold ore in this box?!"
"My God, am I seeing things? Is this ginseng that's tens of thousands of years old?!"
"This is the contract for the Xia family's cloth shop!"
The officials and dignitaries watching couldn't contain their excitement either, and their voices cracked.
"..."
"Lord An, so Lord An's wealth is this abundant?! With all these dowry businesses, Lord An could easily support the entire nation's army!"
The Prince of Zhen personally attended Xia Mo and Huangfu Qian's wedding. He was sitting in the front hall, representing the parents to observe the ceremony, but the news he heard made him restless.
The Prince of Zhen rose and, feigning composure, walked toward the courtyard where the dowry was displayed.
The moment the Prince of Zhen saw the contents of the dowry, his pupils dilated sharply.
That's it! Why would Huangfu Qian take a fancy to a country girl? If he had known that the country girl had such a background, he would have been willing to marry her too!
Looking at the dowry displayed in the courtyard, the Prince of Zhen could not suppress the surging emotions in his heart, and a red tinge of jealousy appeared in the corners of his eyes.
As Ma Yiyi mingled among a group of female guests, her heart pounded with intense emotion as she looked at the scene before her.
How could there possibly be such a lavish dowry at the end of summer?!
But now, at the end of summer, there is indeed such a generous dowry.
Ma Yiyi's heart pounded violently. How could her status as the heir apparent's wife compare to that of Xia Mo's princess consort?!
The screen in front of Ma Yiyi jumped to the main quest, and the quest progress dropped by ten points.
The system indicated that the electric shock punishment would begin in 15 minutes.
Ma Yiyi didn't leave. She was thinking, if she "had a seizure" in front of the guests, wouldn't it affect the wedding at the end of summer?
Although it affects her more, so what?!
As long as it's disgusting until the end of summer, that's fine.
Ma Yiyi watched the countdown to the electric shock punishment, but she still didn't move her feet.
Xia Mo's divine sense allowed him to see the entire situation within the Jiang Prince's mansion, and he naturally discerned Ma Yiyi's petty scheme of harming herself at the expense of others.
Fifteen minutes later—
Ma Yiyi was given an electric shock as punishment.
Ma Yiyi had fallen to the ground, but found that she did not feel any discomfort. She was awake and looked at the strange looks from the people around her. Feeling embarrassed, she used her hands to support herself as she got up and lowered her head.
Shouldn't she be in so much pain right now that she can't see her surroundings?!
Ma Yiyi looked at the screen in front of her and found that the "electric shock punishment" prompt was still there, which meant that she was currently undergoing electric shock punishment!
Why didn't she feel any pain or discomfort?
Ma Yiyi didn't understand, and neither did her live-streaming system. It could only increase the intensity of the electric shocks, but the result was still... no effect on Ma Yiyi whatsoever!
Ma Yiyi stared blankly ahead until the sounds of the newlyweds bowing to each other broke her reverie.
It was nearing dusk, an auspicious time.
Ma Yiyi was passively pushed to the front yard where the wedding ceremony was to be held.
The dowry that had been on display was then put away, but even though it was put away, it was still a topic of conversation among everyone present.
The three bows are finished...
The banquet begins.
Huangfu Qian did not intend for Xia Mo to wait in the bridal chamber. Instead, he changed into more comfortable clothes with Xia Mo and they went out for a banquet together.
It was rare to get Huangfu Qian to drink so much, but there were very few people present who dared to actually do so.
"We're from the same place, so I'll toast you!"
Ma Yiyi thought she was being friendly, but she didn't realize that her face was almost distorted.
Xia Mo glanced casually at Ma Yiyi, who was sitting in the middle seat, then looked away and continued talking to Huangfu Qian beside her, as if she hadn't heard Ma Yiyi's voice at all.
Ma Yiyi, who was standing and preparing to offer a toast, did not expect that Xia Mo would show her no respect at her own wedding banquet. For a moment, she stood there awkwardly, receiving all the strange looks.
How embarrassing! So embarrassing!
Ma Yiyi sat down while grinding her back teeth. After sitting back down, she still had to endure strange looks, which made her heart feel like it was on fire.
How could Xia Mo... at her own wedding banquet, in front of so many people, embarrass her like that?!
The wives and partners sitting at the same table as Ma Yiyi were all secretly observing her.
It's clear that Princess Jiang and her fellow townsman, Princess Wei, don't get along, while Princess Wei is still trying to win her over.
Tu
The banquet ended, and it was already dark.
After the guests left, the Prince of Zhen had to return to the palace to oversee the country. None of the people present were of higher status than Huangfu Qian, so none of them dared to stay and make a ruckus in the bridal chamber, and they all chose to leave.
Although Ma Yiyi left, she left behind a "sky eye" prop above the Jiang Prince's Mansion, which allowed her to see everything inside.
The Jiang Prince's Mansion returned to its usual quiet after its bustling activity.
Xia's mother stood beside Xia Mo and said to Huangfu Qian, "Tonight, let Nannan sleep with me."
Huangfu Qian: "..." He wanted to say no, but before the marriage, he had promised Xia's father and the others that Xia Mo was not yet eighteen years old and they would not consummate their marriage. He could not go back on his word.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mother-in-law," Huangfu Qian glanced at Xia Mo, hiding his helplessness.
Weifu —
Inside Ma Yiyi's room—
Using the "Sky Eye" prop, Ma Yiyi watched all of this through the live broadcast screen and smiled happily.
Thinking about Xia Mo's dowry, she felt she understood. It turned out that Xia Mo and Huangfu Qian's marriage was a transaction!
Even if Xia Mo marries Huangfu Qian, so what?!
Ma Yiyi was pleased, thinking she had grasped the truth, but she was surprised when she saw Wei Zhishu enter the room.
"If it weren't for the Prince of Zhen sending me here, I wouldn't want to bother with you, you shameless, stupid woman!" When Wei Zhishu saw Ma Yiyi, all he could think about was Xia Mo, and he hurriedly tried to distance himself from Ma Yiyi.
Ma Yiyi opened her eyes in surprise.
Why did the Prince of Zhen, who was in charge of the country, allow Wei Zhishu to be close to her?
“As long as you give birth to a son, my fifth cousin said that the position of Lady of the Marquis will be yours,” Wei Zhishu said expressionlessly.
Ma Yiyi was surprised again.
This is blatant favoritism.
why?
