“So, I only plan to take half of the dowry my mother prepared for me.”
Upon hearing Jiang Ruyun’s words, a hint of a smile appeared in Jiang Peihuan’s eyes.
Looking at her, Jiang Peihuan softly said, “I’m glad you think this way.”
“Since you’ve made up your mind, just go ahead with it. As for your uncle and aunt, discuss it well with them. 1 believe they will agree.”
“Okay.”
Hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, Jiang Ruyun nodded.
After exchanging a few words with Jiang Peihuan, she felt much more relaxed.
Turning to Jiang Peihuan, Jiang Ruyun whispered, “Elder Sister, King Cheng is waiting for you. I won’t disturb you any longer. I’ll go find my parents.”
Having said this, Jiang Ruyun prepared to leave. However, just as she reached the door, she heard Jiang Peihuan’s voice, “Wait.”
Hearing Jiang Peihuan, Jiang Ruyun paused instinctively and turned around. She softly asked, “Elder Sister, is there anything else you’d like to tell me?”
“Just wait for me.”
Jiang Peihuan then walked directly into the study.
Xiao Nanye was sitting in the study, holding a book that Jiang Peihuan had been reading earlier. He had overheard the conversation between the sisters.
When he saw Jiang Peihuan enter, he put down the book.
Approaching him, Jiang Peihuan took a box from the table in front of Xiao Nanye. Inside the box was a silver note, which Old Madam Jiang had once given her. She had forgotten to take it with her at that time.
Turning to Xiao Nanye, Jiang Peihuan softly asked, “I plan to give this silver note to Ruyun. Xiao Nanye, do you agree?”
Had it been earlier, she wouldn’t have asked him. However, since they were now married, she wanted to consult him.
Smiling, Xiao Nanye replied, “Of course, 1 have no objections.”
“Not to mention that this is originally your dowry. Even if you wanted to give all the silver in the mansion as a dowry to your sister, 1 wouldn’t mind.”
Jiang Peihuan smiled at his words.
Knowing Jiang Ruyun was waiting, she didn’t linger. Holding the box, she walked out.
Standing next to Jiang Ruyun, she handed over the box. Seeing the box, Jiang Ruyun looked puzzled and whispered, “Elder Sister, what is this?”
“It’s an addition to your dowry.”
“No, you already added to my dowry before. How can I take more of your money?”
Before Jiang Ruyun could refuse, Jiang Peihuan already pushed the box to her, “If I’m giving it to you, just accept it.”
“With this silver, it might be easier to convince your aunt and uncle.”
Initially, Jiang Ruyun wanted to decline, but after hearing Jiang Peihuan’s last words, she silently accepted the money, gave a formal bow and whispered, “Thank you, elder sister.”
“It’s getting late, you should go.”
Jiang Peihuan didn’t know what Jiang Ruyun told her parents, but the next day, Zhou Rongfang was finally seen smiling.
Jiang Peihuan had also arrived at the Orchid Garden early.
Jiang Ruyun was getting ready, with Zhou Rongfang sitting beside her. Seeing Jiang Peihuan enter, Zhou Rongfang, with joy in her eyes, grabbed Jiang Peihuan’s hand, “Huan Er, 1 really don’t know how to thank you.”
“If it weren’t for the money you gave, your sister’s dowry would have been pitiful.”
At this point, gratitude filled Zhou Rongfang’s eyes.
Jiang Peihuan had never liked Zhou Rongfang in her previous life. However, in this life, she realized that nobody is perfect. No matter what, Zhou Rongfang was a good mother.
And after Jian Mei’s death, Zhou Rongfang genuinely took care of the child.
For this reason alone, Jiang Peihuan’s aversion to Zhou Rongfang vanished.
So when she heard her words, Jiang Peihuan gently said, “Second Aunt, Ruyun and I are sisters. There’s no need to keep a tally.”
“Second Sister-in-law?”
Just as Zhou Rongfang was about to speak, Liu Xiu entered the room.
“Third Sister-in-law, you’re here.”
Regardless of their usual disagreements, on this occasion, Zhou Rongfang greeted Liu Xiu with a smile.
“Today is Ruyun’s wedding day. Naturally, 1 should come to enhance her dowry.”
As she spoke, Liu Xiu personally took a box from Old Madam Liu and handed it to Jiang Ruyun, “Second sister, this is my gift for your dowry. Open it and see if you like it.”
“Thank you, Third Aunt.”
Upon hearing Liu Xiu’s words, Jiang Ruyun immediately opened the box.
Inside, it was filled with a collection of jewelry, gold, silver, and jade items. Everything was of exquisite quality.
Liu Xiu had given a similar box to Jiang Peihuan when she married Xiao Nanye.
Back then, Zhou Rongfang had reservations about Liu Xiu, especially since she hadn’t gifted these when Jiang Ruyun originally married Zhao Fuqing.
But now, seeing the jewelry, Zhou Rongfang’s eyes were filled with complex emotions and a touch of shame.
“Third sister-in-law, this is too precious. You…”
“We are family, no need to be so formal.”
“To show off a bit, as you know, the one thing I have plenty of is these items.”
The Liu’s family were merchants serving the emperor and were incredibly wealthy. Although Liu Xiu was married off, she was the only daughter of the Liu family, and she married into the General’s mansion. Every year, her family would send her countless jewelry.
“I won’t stand on ceremony with you then.”
Zhou Rongfang softly responded.
For Jiang Ruyun’s wedding, everyone from the Jiang family returned.
It was only at night that the Cao family came to pick up the bride.
Just like with Xiao Nanye, Cao Jun also faced challenges from the Jiang family. However, before the auspicious time, Jiang Changbai carried Jiang Ruyun to the bridal palanquin.
“Cao Jun, I entrust my second younger sister to you. 1 hope you will take good care of her.”
Previously, Jiang Changbai didn’t have a fondness for Jiang Ru Yun. But lately, he noticed her change. Being a part of the Jiang family, he became more protective of her.
Upon hearing this, Cao Jun sincerely replied, “Rest assured, elder brother, 1 will definitely take good care of Ruyun.”
Then, the wedding procession began heading towards the Cao family.
Everyone from the Jiang Family smiled happily.
However, their happiness was shattered an hour later.
“Eldest Miss, Second Miss is in trouble!”
In the Plum Garden.
Just as Jiang Peihuan was about to lie down with Xiao Nanye, she heard Lu Er’s hurried voice..
