Chapter 113 Dowry
Yongninghou Mansion.
"That bitch is pregnant. Who knows whose child it is? How can we marry her?" Mrs. Du heard the news this morning. She was glad that Zhou Ziyue insisted on not marrying her, but in the evening she heard Zhou Ziyue say that he wanted to marry her. She was furious.
The old marquis Zhou Wucai sat there without saying a word.
Zhou Ziyue said: "Mom, she is pregnant with my child."
"Yours..." After hearing this, Mrs. Du was not excited because the child was of the Zhou family's blood. Instead, she looked down on Tang Yue'er even more.
"So she is using pregnancy to force you to submit, right? This bitch is so resourceful." Mrs. Du gnashed her teeth in hatred.
"Mom, it's not like that." The reasons were too complicated, and Zhou Ziyue didn't want to explain too much. "We are in love with each other."
Mutual love???
Mrs. Du felt that her brain was insulted. Then why was he so determined to marry Tang Wanru before?
Play with her?
"Zhou Ziyue, you——"
"Enough!" The old marquis had a headache after hearing this. He had a lot of things to do because of the prince's affairs, so he didn't have the time to waste on Zhou Ziyue's trivial family matters.
No matter who he is in love with.
Let’s marry one first.
"We had already agreed to the Tang family at the banquet." Zhou Wucai said, "Now that Ziyue is willing, that's the best. Just set a date and marry her back. No need to say anything more."
"But my lord..." Mrs. Du was absolutely unwilling.
"Okay, you don't need to say anything more." The old marquis waved his hand and called Zhou Ziyue, "Ziyue, follow me."

Three days later.
The capital held the grandest polo match. The match was hosted by Wei Wang Zhou Zhuoqi, and all the nobles in the capital would attend.
The weather was good today. Early in the morning, the Tang family received news that Bai Yanli and Zhou Ziyue would come to pick up their fiancées to attend the polo match.
This news completely dispelled the dark clouds that had been lingering over the Tang family for days.
Tang Wanru and Tang Yueer both have fiancés.
The happiest person about this was naturally Tang Jiang. When he knew that Zhou Ziyue was determined to marry Tang Yue'er, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep for two days.
It's strange to say.
Originally, Tang Wanru was betrothed to the Marquis's family, and Yue'er was to marry into the Bai family, but unexpectedly, by some strange coincidence, the two sides were switched.
Fate is really wonderful.
Anyway, his wish has come true.
On the one hand, the Bai family is the richest family in the capital, and on the other hand, the Marquis' Mansion can help him in his official career. He has felt refreshed and his complexion has improved a lot in the past two days.
Of course, he had to thank Tang Wanru for this. If she hadn't said at the critical moment that Zhou Ziyue must be responsible for Tang Yue'er, he wouldn't have dared to offer his daughter to the Marquis's Mansion.
Now we have the best of both worlds.
Thinking of this, Tang Jiang saw Tang Wanru coming out from the backyard. Because she was going to ride a horse, she wore a lavender corset today. Her long hair was tied up high, making her look dashing and heroic.
Tang Jiang likes Tang Wanru more and more.
Smart, wise and calm.
He wondered why he hadn't noticed so many good qualities in her before.
Almost at the same time, Tang Yue'er also walked out from the backyard.
She was in a bad mood.
This matter has been decided, but it is a last resort. Moreover, she was too shocked that day. Zhou Ziyue suddenly appeared to save her from danger. She agreed in a rush, but she regretted it soon after she woke up the next day. But the matter is done, there is no way back.
Now, whenever she thought about marrying Zhou Ziyue, she didn't know when she would be convicted. She felt like a huge rock was pressing on her heart, as if it might fall down at any time.
It is even more impossible to make her full of energy and spirit immediately.
Tang Jiang was furious when he saw Tang Yue'er's depressed face. He really didn't know where his daughter got so much hatred from.
"Are you mad at me for not dying sooner?" Tang Jiang walked up angrily and said.
Tang Yue'er was already worried, and now she was startled and lowered her head pitifully.
She didn't want to attend the polo match today, and she didn't know how to ride a horse. But her father said Zhou Ziyue would come to pick her up, so he insisted that she go.
Yes.
The two of them need to spend more time together in front of others to dispel those bad rumors.
Liu happened to come out from the backyard. Seeing Tang Jiang getting angry at Tang Yue'er, she hurried over and asked, "Master, what are you doing again?"
"Look at her face. Do I owe her anything?" Tang Jiang was furious.
"Master," Liu said, "You forgot that Yue'er is pregnant with the Marquis's wife. She has been feeling unwell for the past two months. Why are you still putting on a good face for others?"
Before, Tang Jiang would never have been able to bear to hear the word "body".
But now, that's all.
After all, he is the child of the Marquis's Mansion.
"Cheer up a little. Who would like your depressed face?" If she keeps having such a face, she will be divorced sooner or later even if she marries into the Marquis' Mansion.
Tang Yueer rolled her eyes silently.
Seeing that she was still unconvinced, Tang Wanru happened to come over, so Tang Jiang pointed at her and said, "Look at your sister. They are both born to me, so why are they different?"
Different?
Tang Yue'er was speechless. Her father was actually comparing her to Tang Wanru?
She suddenly discovered a problem. Before, Tang Jiang had always liked her more than Tang Wanru. Since when did Tang Jiang start to like Tang Wanru so much?
How did she do it?
At this time, outsiders said that the Bai family's carriage and the Marquis's carriage had arrived outside the Tang Mansion. Tang Wanru and Tang Yue'er went out together.
Seeing the two people leave, Liu looked at Tang Jiang and said, "Master, Yue'er is simple and innocent. Now she is suddenly getting married and she can't accept it, so she is a little emotional. Don't blame her."
simple?
What Tang Jiang felt was ridiculous. She was still naive even though she was pregnant?
Tang Jiang said nothing and turned around to go back to his room.
Liu hurriedly followed him and said, "Master, now that Yue'er's marriage has been decided, shouldn't we think about Yue'er's dowry in advance? Yue'er is marrying into the Marquis' Mansion, so the dowry should not be small."
dowry?
This is too hasty, Tang Jiang thought, she is thinking about this before the date is even decided.
What's more, the gift from the Marquis' Mansion hasn't arrived yet. If they want to give the dowry, the Marquis' Mansion must give the betrothal gift first, right?
The last time the Marquis came, he was asking for Tang Wanru's hand in marriage, but now Tang Yue'er doesn't even have the pre-engagement gifts.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Wait and see." Tang Jiang thought, if he prepared the dowry early, it would seem like his Tang family was giving away money to the Marquis' Mansion. He would wait until the betrothal gift from the Marquis' Mansion arrived before doing anything else.
After saying that, Tang Jiang went back to his room.
Liu gritted her teeth and said nothing more.
