Chapter 253: No Need for a Dowry

Just as she sat down, Su Mingyu saw Qing Feng walking over and whispering something in Ye Weiguang's ear.

Su Mingyu raised an eyebrow and looked at him. "Young Master Qing Feng?"

"Miss Su." Qing Feng nodded at Su Mingyu. "I heard from the master about the antidote."

"If there's anything Zhizhu can do to help, Young Master Qing Feng can just tell me." Su Mingyu looked at Qing Feng. Her tone was calm, but everyone understood the meaning behind her words.

Seeing that Qing Feng was about to leave, Ye Weiguang called him back. "Tell those ministers who want to visit that I already have guests today. Ask them to come another day."

Qing Feng nodded. Just as he was about to go, Su Mingyu also called him. "Come and have dinner with us later."

Qing Feng paused for a moment and replied.

Watching Qing Feng's back as he left, Ye Weiguang sighed helplessly. "This kid is really stubborn."

Su Mingyu nodded in agreement.

If a person had a bit of emotional intelligence, when hearing that someone wanted to send the girl he liked to his side, a normal reaction would be to agree immediately. But this Qing Feng, this blockhead, just nodded.

What was she supposed to do with just a nod? Send the girl or not?

After dinner, Su Mingyu sat in the main hall. She raised an eyebrow and looked at Qing Feng. "I'm going to marry the Prince of Ruixian soon. I can leave Zhizhu behind. If you really have feelings for her, it's time for you to take action. If you don't want to be with her, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Qing Feng pursed his lips. "Miss Su, you know my choice."

Su Mingyu squinted her eyes. "Fine. Let's just pretend I didn't say anything."

After saying that, Su Mingyu tossed her head and pushed Gu Ruobai out. Originally, she wanted to go straight back to the Prince of Ruixian's Mansion. But halfway there, Su Mingyu suddenly remembered the matter between her and Gu Ruobai. She still had to go back to the Su Mansion to tell them about it.

So she took Gu Ruobai to the Su Mansion. When the two entered the main gate of the Su Mansion, Wang Manwen and Su Zhengyi were a bit surprised.

"Mingyu is back."

Su Mingyu nodded and curtsied. "Mingyu was recuperating in the Prince of Ruixian's Mansion. I'm only coming back to greet you now. I made Father worry."

Su Zhengyi didn't seem to mind. "Quick, serve tea to the prince."

"Oh~" Wang Manwen clicked her tongue in a sarcastic way. "I thought some people were going to live in someone else's mansion and never come back. It's not proper. It's not a good thing to live there like that."

"Mother, don't say that about Sister. Sister and the Prince of Ruixian are so in love that they don't want to be separated." Su Yueyue's voice came from the door.

Su Mingyu raised an eyebrow and saw that Su Yueyue, who was already showing, was leaning against the door, looking at her coldly.

Su Mingyu squinted her eyes and said with a half - smile. "Sister's belly doesn't look like it's only three months pregnant. Could it be that you're having twins?"

She got married to the King of Yu after she was already pregnant. This was a disgrace to Su Yueyue. Now that Su Mingyu had brought it up so openly, Su Yueyue's face turned very ugly. "I don't understand what you mean, Sister."

"If you don't understand, it's okay." Su Mingyu pursed her lips. "Father, Second Aunt, we came here today on purpose to discuss something. Tomorrow is my wedding with the Prince of Ruixian. So please prepare to be the parents of the bride tomorrow."

"What? Tomorrow?" Wang Manwen's face suddenly changed. "Why didn't you tell us when you decided on the wedding? Tomorrow is the wedding, but we haven't prepared anything here."

Su Mingyu calmly raised her eyes and looked at Wang Manwen with her dark eyes. "Second Aunt doesn't need to worry about this. The prince has prepared everything."

Seeing Su Mingyu looking so confident, Wang Manwen's face looked a bit ugly. "Anyway, you're the eldest daughter of our Su family. Your wedding is a big event. Just decorating the Su Mansion will take more than a day. Didn't you attend Yueyue's wedding last time? Don't you know?"

Su Mingyu didn't answer Wang Manwen's question immediately. Instead, she looked at Su Zhengyi. "Father?"

Su Zhengyi looked at Gu Ruobai. "Is the prince in charge of the whole wedding?"

Gu Ruobai nodded. "Regarding the wedding, Minister Su doesn't need to worry. I promised Mingyu before that she doesn't need to worry about a single thing regarding our wedding."

Su Mingyu squinted her eyes and took Gu Ruobai's hand in front of everyone.

Seeing how affectionate they were, Su Zhengyi didn't say much. He just nodded. "These are all things for you young people. You can do whatever you like. But the three documents and six etiquettes can't be missing."

Gu Ruobai nodded. "Of course I know this. For tomorrow's wedding, Mingyu will stay in the Su Mansion tonight. Please take care of her, Minister Su."

Su Zhengyi waved his hand. "This is Mingyu's home. You don't need to say such things."

"Now we can talk about the dowry." Wang Manwen interrupted their conversation coldly.

Su Mingyu sat on the stool and took a small sip from her teacup.

Seeing this, Gu Ruobai continued. "I heard from Mingyu about this. Second Lady's workshop was sealed, and she also prepared a dowry for Su Yueyue. So..."

Gu Ruobai raised an eyebrow and looked at Su Zhengyi. "Mingyu and I don't need a dowry for this wedding."

"What?" Wang Manwen and Su Yueyue exclaimed together.

Since ancient times, there has never been a wedding where the bride didn't bring a dowry. And the more dowry a bride brought, the more favored she was in her family. This way, she wouldn't be looked down upon in her husband's family.

Not bringing a dowry... What would others think?

Su Yueyue pouted. "The Prince of Ruixian means not wanting... a dowry?"

Gu Ruobai nodded. "The Prince of Ruixian's Mansion doesn't lack such a dowry. Since the Su family can't afford a decent dowry at the moment, then don't bring anything."

Gu Ruobai's words sounded generous at first, as if he was thinking about the Su family whole - heartedly.

But to Su Zhengyi's ears, they had a different meaning.

Su Zhengyi frowned tightly. He lowered his eyes and looked at Wang Manwen. "Wang Manwen, how come I didn't know that the finances of our Su family are so tight that we can't even prepare a dowry for Mingyu?"

Wang Manwen's face also looked bad. Those words of hers were just meant for Su Mingyu, to prepare her in case she really got married and didn't get much of a dowry.

But she didn't expect that Su Mingyu would tell Gu Ruobai about it.

What's more, she didn't expect that Gu Ruobai would dote on Su Mingyu so much that he didn't even want a dowry.

"Th - that, Master, it's not like this." Wang Manwen quickly explained. "Actually, I've already prepared the dowry. It's no less than Yueyue's. Really."
