This was infuriating!
Even if Ye Zhenzhen, the county lord, were to marry in the future, she wouldnât find a family in the Great Cheng Dynasty that could offer such extravagant betrothal gifts!
It was maddening!
Ye Zhenzhen felt the same anger, though she didnât blurt it out like Su Xinlan.
âSorry, Aunt.â Su Han calmly interjected. âThe betrothal gifts from Your Highness total three hundred and sixty catties.â
Her voice was soft but hit Su Xinlan and Ye Zhenzhen like a heavy blow.
âWhat? Three hundred and sixty catties?!â Su XinlaiTs voice was sharp.
Since the founding of the Great Cheng Dynasty, no one had ever presented such lavish betrothal gifts!
This was unprecedented!
Su Xinlan was deeply frustrated, while Ye Zhenzhen seethed with jealousy. She was burning with jealousy.
Observing their reactions, Su Han smirked satisfactorily and left.
Once Su Han departed, Ye Zhenzhen couldnât contain her agitation. âWhy? Why? Mother! Look at Su Yingxueâ¦Iâm also the daughter of the Marquisâs Manor and the granddaughter of my maternal grandfather. Iâve been conferred the title of county lord! But I canât even imagine anyone proposing to me with such grandeur!â
Su Xinlan had already arranged a marriage for her with the youngest son of the Prime Ministerâs Estate.
When they were engaged, the Prime Ministerâs Estate had given her sixty gifts, and she had boasted about them for a long time.
However, compared to Su Yingxueâ¦
Her sixty gifts seemed like a mere joke!
âWhatâs the point of saying all this? The Prime Ministerâs Estate may be esteemed by others but to the Ninth Princeâ¦Itâs nothing!â Su Xinlan sighed deeply.
Ye Zhenzhen gritted her teeth, feeling wronged!
Indeed, the Prime Ministerâs Estate was beyond the reach of ordinary people. Even for a daughter of a noble family, it was a prestigious match!
Initially, she thought marrying the Prime Ministerâs son was an honor!
But now, there was Su Yingxue, her cousin, marrying far better than her, a hundred, a thousand times better!
Su Yingxue was becoming a princess consort, and Ye Zhenzhen would have to bow to her!
Just thinking about it kept her awake at night with jealousy!
Ye Zhenzhen had been pampered since childhood in the Changxin Marquisâs Manor. Her ambitions matched Su Xinlanâs. She used to be content with what she had, but now, with a comparison, she wanted more!
Why was Su Yingxue able to marry the Ninth Prince and receive such lavish treatment? When she got married, she had to kowtow to her like an empress. What had she done?
Thinking about this, she couldnât sleep for several days.
She went to Su Xinlanâs place to pay her respects and share her thoughts.
Su Xinlan immediately rejected her, gently tapping Ye Zhenzhenâs head. âAre you out of your mind? You want to replace Su Yingxue as the Ninth Princess Consort. You canât just become a princess by saying so!â
Ye Zhenzhen pouted a trace of grievance on her slightly round face. âSu Han was once a Regional Princess? Mother, you are also from the Marquisâs Manor. Can you watch as your two elder brothersâ daughters marry better than your daughter?
âWhat happened to that little b*tch Su Han? Why are you competing with her? As for this Su Yingxueâ¦â
Su Xinlan gnashed her teeth in hatred at the thought of Su Yingxue. She had been taught a lesson by Su Yingxue many times, and her anger still burned inside her. She couldnât shake off her depression.
And Su Yingxue was about to get married!
Once she married Chu Yihan, she would have to kneel in front of Su Yingxue and endure her torment.
This was very uncomfortable..
