Yun Chen looked at Mrs. He, "Since you think it’s improper for Zihan to marry over there, then let Muyou marry instead!"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. He felt like a sharp thorn was stuck in her throat, the pain making her feel as if her heart was being torn apart.
"Why would my lord say such things? Where did I say I disagreed? I only..."
"Enough with the buts. Seriously prepare a dowry for Zihan, and marry her off gloriously before we discuss Muyou’s marriage!"
After saying this, Yun Chen stood up and went directly to the outer courtyard.
Mrs. He was so anxious she started crying out loud; she just wanted to fight for her daughter, wishing for her to have a better marriage. Why was everything so hard?
And now they wanted her to seriously prepare a dowry? In her dreams.
Yet, she didn’t want to lose the opportunity with the wealthy rchant, so she imdiately sent soone to her maiden ho, asking her sister-in-law to co to Yun Residence to discuss for a long ti before deciding to replace He Xiulan, the He Family’s concubine-born younger miss, in the marriage.
To earn those five hundred thousand taels of silver.
The sister-in-law from He Family imdiately gave Mrs. He a hundred thousand taels, which made Mrs. He feel sowhat better.
anwhile, Liao Shijie arrived in Capital City, bought a residence with three courtyards in the inner city, as well as maids, old maids, and servants, and even purchased a shop with two storefronts and a farm of a thousand acres in the suburbs. Money was being spent like water, leaving only the three hundred thousand taels his stepmother had given him. Liao Shijie knew well that Capital City was a place to spend money, but he had not expected the expenses to be so severe.
He did not dare to spend these three hundred thousand taels, thinking to hand them over to his wife after their marriage. Originally planning to take exams this ti, he decided to enter Songshan Academy and study hard for another three years before taking the exams again.
The odds of success would be greater.
When the butler and butler’s wife arrived, Liao Shijie sought an audience with General Weiyuan.
"You wish to see Yun Family’s Second Miss?"
"Yes!"
General Weiyuan thought for a mont before saying, "On the twentieth of August, the Yun Family will return to Huguo Temple to offer incense. Pay close attention, and be careful not to mistake soone else for her!"
"Thank you, Great General!"
On the nineteenth of August, Liao Shijie arrived at Huguo Temple, took care of everything, and just waited for the Yun Family’s procession to arrive.
Mrs. He knew well why there was the trip today, for she still hoped to et the Marquess Yuanshen old lady, and to let Yun Muyou et Marquess Weng as well. Regarding Yun Muyou’s appearance, Mrs. He was very confident.
With a richer dowry, she would find a way to manage.
Therefore, she brought along Yun Muyou and Yun Zihan to Huguo Temple to offer incense.
The sisters each had their own concerns and were well aware of the purpose of their visit today. Yun Muyou had also seen Weng Jianrui’s portrait, and by the ti they arrived at Huguo Temple, it was afternoon, and there were not many pilgrims left. Yun Muyou was still looking around for Weng Jianrui.
Yun Zihan, on the other hand, looked straight ahead, making Yun Muyou’s lack of manners stand out even more.
"Youyou!" Mrs. He said sternly.
Yun Muyou then reigned herself in.
The monk imdiately ca forward to guide Mrs. He and her party to the Zen Abbey for rest, as they were going to stay there for one night.
Mrs. He donated extra money for the oil in the temple lamps and rembered Yun Jinnian had stayed here for eighty-one days, "I wonder if the Little Monk rembers the Yun Residence’s Fourth Miss?"
"The Fourth Miss? I rember her!" the monk replied.
"We’re the Fourth Miss’s family. I’m her aunt, and these two are her elder sisters," Mrs. He explained.
The monk quickly said, "Amitabha, I will surely inform the abbot that the Fourth Miss’s family has co!"
"Thank you, Little Monk!"
The monk waved his hand and stepped back.
Yun Muyou then remarked, "It seems the Fourth Sister is quite liked by others?"
Mrs. He glanced at Yun Muyou and said nothing, then turned to Yun Zihan, "You go take a walk outside, but don’t go too far."
"Yes, Mother!"
After bowing, Yun Zihan left the Zen Abbey.
Wandering aimlessly, inhaling the sandalwood scent.
She didn’t know where she might encounter Liao Shijie. Although her aunt had shown her Liao Shijie’s portrait, she still harbored so hope of seeing him in person.
Wondering what kind of man he truly was.
