Chapter 3 I don't want a marriage contract, just a dowry

The wedding of Shen Sichen and Xie Ruowei soon arrived.

The streets and alleys were decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and there was a festive atmosphere everywhere. The marriage of the most noble young master in Shengjing broke the hearts of many girls in the boudoir and made the eyes of many women to be married red.

The Shen family was no exception. While the servants and maids were busy, Shen Sichen was leisurely watering the flowers in his yard.

"Oh, my young master, today is your special day, why are you watering the flowers?" His little book boy Li Zhong ran in and took away his kettle.

"The person I want to marry is not the person I want to marry, and I don't want to marry a scheming person." He turned around and entered the house.

"Oh, if you have anything to do with me, we'll talk about it later."

After a while of persuasion, he went into the house and changed into wedding clothes.

At this time, the Shen family had also sent someone to pick up the bride.

The sedan chair has arrived at the door, but he is still motionless and has no intention of accepting the bride.

If it weren't for Ruan Jiuge, how could he apply to be transferred back to Shengjing and agree to marry the Xie family; if it wasn't for finding descendants of the Ruan family, how could he still stay in the capital now.

Looking at Xie Ruowei, who was gradually walking in, he moved his fingers, signaling to the person hiding in the corner that he was ready to take action.

"What? Is my sister going to marry on my behalf?" Before he gave the order, a heavenly voice came from outside the door.

He paused and retracted his hint before the order was given.

He looked at Ruan Li, who was wearing a white dress and walked in. He recalled the scene when they met, and he seemed to understand what happened.

Ruan Li is a descendant of the Ruan family. However, the news he received was that she was a fool. Now it seems that she is not only not stupid, but also very smart. What is going on?

He found a good seat and planned to watch the show that was about to take place next.

Looking at Shen Sichen in the room who looked like he was watching a good show, Ruan Li had an idea in his mind.

"How can you be so reckless? The Shen Family Courtyard will not tolerate your mischief." Xie Hua's slightly aged voice came, "Today is the wedding day of my Xie family and the Shen family. How can I allow you to misbehave here?"

"Sir Xie, oh no, I think I should call you father. Everyone knows who made the engagement with the Shen family." She glanced lightly at her father, whom she had never met, with extremely cold eyes.

Xie Hua was stunned for a moment, as if he saw Ruan Jiuge from before.

"You shrew, why did you come to make a scene at my daughter's wedding?" Seeing that Xie Hua didn't speak, Qian Lihua and Qian Shi secretly thought, "What evidence do you have to prove that you are the eldest daughter of my Xie family? Who knew you Are you trying to blackmail someone?"

"Really? Madam, I just want to come and see my fiancé." Ruan Li looked at the furious Qian and smiled, "As for my identity, doesn't my face mean anything? What's more, I Not everyone can have a peach blossom birthmark."

When Xie Hua heard this, he raised his head suddenly.

Yes, no one except him and Jiuge would know about the peach blossom birthmark on his daughter.

His eyes were filled with tears, and he wanted to step forward and touch his daughter, but Qian held him back.

"Master, you can't just believe her words. You have forgotten that the news we got before is different from the woman in front of us."

Sure enough, Xie Hua heard this and took back his feet.

After hearing this, people around also started talking about it. There had been rumors in Shengjing that the eldest daughter of the Xie family was a fool. Now it seems that this woman is indeed a fake.

Looking at this scene, Ruan Li couldn't help but sneered, her face remained calm, and she took out a piece of paper from her sleeve, "If you don't believe me, madam, you can take a look at what this is?"

Everyone took a closer look and saw that it was a letter from Prince Yun and a seal from Prince Yun's palace.

Others didn't know it, but Xie Hua knew that Ruan Jiuge was King Yun's long-lost sister. When King Yun wanted to take her back to his palace, she insisted on staying in Shengjing.

Prince Yun is the most trusted person by the emperor, and the seal of Prince Yun's Mansion is even more unique. No one dares to imitate it, and no one can imitate it.

"You are really my daughter." Now, no matter what Qian said, Xie Hua no longer believed Qian.

Putting the letter back into her sleeve, she took a few steps back. Ruan Li said slowly, "Now that the matter is clear, I would like to ask, this is my marriage contract, and my sister can just take it. Why should I misappropriate the money left by my mother?"

Give me my dowry as my sister’s dowry?”

Before she came, she had investigated and found out that all the dowry left to her by her mother had been taken up by the Qian family and their daughter.

"I didn't expect that these more than 500 yuan were actually the dowry of the eldest daughter of the Xie family. Is this the second wife's misappropriation of the original wife's property?"

The people around them looked at the dowry with envy, and now they found the point of ridicule.

Listening to the discussions around her, Xie Ruowei pulled off the red hijab on her head. If she didn't speak up, she was afraid that she would become Quan Shengjing's laughing stock tomorrow.

"Sister, my mother is also doing it for the good of our Xie family. Doesn't she want to marry in a glamorous way? Since she is a member of the Xie family, my sister can't abandon the Xie family." Now that Ruan Li has been recognized by her father, then

She can only start elsewhere.

After hearing this, the people around him also changed the direction of the situation, accusing Ruan Li of ignoring the interests of the family and only caring about himself.

Hearing the confusing words of the woman in front of her, she was not annoyed, and just retorted gently, "Sister, I lost my mother when I was a child, and now my sister wants to take away the only thing my mother left for me? I can accept the engagement.

No, but the dowry must be returned to me."

"You...the marriage contract was made by my father, and the dowry was ordered by the imperial concubine. I can't just watch my sister get married like this." Xie Ruowei pretended to be about to cry.

She looked at the person in front of her who was pretending to be in love, hey, he was trying to restrain her with family affection.

"My sister has lived in fine clothes since she was a child, so she doesn't know what money means to me, but I, my sister, have been homeless since I was a child. Moreover, it is King Yun's wish to get back the dowry."

Isn't it just a matter of having a backer? She has one too.

At this time, everyone present had nothing to say. After all, that was King Yun who had a fateful relationship with the emperor.

"Si Chen, look at her." Seeing this, Xie Ruowei had no choice but to quickly go to pull Shen Sichen away.

Hearing this, everyone looked at Ruan Li as if he was finished.

Unexpectedly, the person involved looked at Shen Sichen without any expression at all.

"Don't look at me like this." Shen Sichen frowned.

Xie Ruowei raised her chin towards Ruan Li with a hint of pride, only to see her take out something from her sleeve.

The expressions of everyone who were waiting to see Ruan Li's good show instantly turned ugly, and the faces of the women in the boudoir present were filled with envy.

"Master Shen, do you recognize this?" Ruan Li picked up the jade pendant in his hand and shook it.

Only then did Shen Sichen realize that she had probably misunderstood what he said.

"Of course, I gave it to the girl myself."

"Then today, I will return everything to its original owner." Her words quite clearly meant to draw a line between the two of them.

"Girl, there is no reason to take back what I, Shen Sichen, have given away."

"But I don't want a marriage contract, I just want my dowry."

"You can take it, you can take it. Just take the dowry." Xie Ruowei was afraid that Ruan Li would ruin her marriage with Shen Sichen, so she didn't care about the dowry.

"I said that I will never take back what I gave away. The engagement and dowry belong to you."

"My little girl is not lucky enough to be admitted to the Shen family. She only wants to be with one person for the rest of her life." Ruan Li threw the jade pendant to Shen Sichen and took the opportunity to glance at Xie Hua.

Xie Hua touched his nose nonchalantly, which is what he said to Ruan Jiuge at the beginning, "A Ruan, since this is King Yun's wish, then you can come back to Xie's Mansion soon."

"Okay." Ruan Li didn't hesitate. It was just that she could get back what belonged to her. "I would also like to ask Madam to count the dowry by then. In this way, I won't disturb your wedding."

Without any further pause, she bowed in vain and turned to leave.

When everyone in the Xie family breathed a sigh of relief, they heard Shen Sichen say, "Everyone, please forgive me for being a little unlucky. I am not getting married."

He ripped off the hydrangea from his body, strode out of the hall, and bumped into his father and mother walking towards him, "Chen'er, where are you going?"
