The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character's Sickly Prince Strategy Manual

Princess Shangguan picked up the thick stack of books on the table and said seriously, "These are the house rules of the Shangguan Palace. Take a look." After that, she placed the booklets steadily on the table.

Yun Shang tried to remain calm, but she was shocked in her heart. Such a thick stack of family rules? At this moment, she suddenly felt that the prince's originally perfect figure had lost its appeal at this moment, but she still responded respectfully: "Yes, mother-in-law!"

Princess Shangguan continued, "These are the housekeepers, the maids, and some of the maids in the mansion. Xiaoshang, please recognize their faces."

"Yes!" Yun Shang looked up quickly.

The concubine standing beside Princess Shangguan came out, bowed slowly, and said softly, "Princess, I am your servant Yuanyuan!"

Afterwards, Yuan Yuan methodically introduced the housekeepers, the accounting nanny, and the head maids to Yun Chang one by one.

From her introduction, it seemed as if all the affairs of this mansion, big and small, were managed by her, Yuan Yuan.

After the introduction, Prince Shangguan and Princess Shangguan went back to their rooms.

Yuan Yuan also bowed to Prince Shangguan and Yun Shang, and then left.

The remaining servants stood respectfully in their places and stayed to listen to the Crown Prince's wife's lecture.

Yun Shang winked at Liu Meir beside her, and Liu Meir understood and took out the change she had prepared in advance. Yun Shang smiled and rewarded everyone, without staying for long, and turned back to her room to catch up on her sleep.

As soon as he entered the room, Shangguan Haoyu was the first to grab the bed and lay down on it very casually, not even bothering to take off his coat. He also said, "Xiao Shang, your husband will catch up on some sleep first, you can do whatever you want!"

Yun Shang was so angry at his look that she laughed and snorted coldly: "Hmph! Who's afraid of who?" As she said that, she took off her coat.

"Prince, please squeeze in, I want to catch up on some sleep too!"

Shangguan Haoyu moved inside, staring at Yun Shang with wide eyes, as if waiting for her to lie down.

Yun Shang was immediately deflated when she saw this. She threw off her embroidered shoes, and lay down on the couch, thinking secretly in her heart: I will settle the score with him after I have enough sleep!

……

At the moment when Yun Shang served tea, Ning Xue woke up slowly from her sleep. She washed and dressed carefully. After finishing everything, she slowly climbed to the top of the attic and looked down at the entire Shangshu Mansion from above. Her eyes showed loss and melancholy.

There were only a handful of guests coming this time, and it seemed that they were just a few close families. Recalling the grand scene when my eldest sister got married, the hall, flower room, courtyard, and even the garden were filled with sumptuous banquets, and the guests were packed in and it was very lively.

Today, this desolation is in stark contrast to the past.

Ning Xue silently estimated in her heart that a large hall and a flower hall would probably be enough to accommodate these guests, and perhaps only about twenty tables would be enough.

Ning Xue's mood became increasingly depressed. Compared with the dreams she had predicted, the gap between reality was so great that she could hardly accept it.

Just when she was immersed in her loss, Hongdou came running over, shouting, "Miss, the Huo family's bridal sedan has arrived, hurry up, get in, don't be late!" Hongdou held Ning Xue's hand tightly, her face full of anxiety.

Ning Xue nodded slightly, turned back to her boudoir, covered herself with the festive veil, and under the guidance of the matchmaker, slowly sat on the bridal sedan.

However, as soon as she entered the bridal sedan, Ning Xue's dissatisfaction increased. Compared with the wedding sedan that Yun Shang rode yesterday, this bridal sedan was completely different. Not only was the space small, making people feel crowded, but the red silk decorated on the sedan was also made of inferior material and looked particularly rough.

Ning Xue was sitting in the sedan, with a lot of thoughts in her mind. For the first time in her life, she deeply doubted her original choice. She couldn't help but ask herself whether her choice was correct.

With trepidation and anxiety, the bridal sedan finally arrived at the Huo family. Huo Beixuan carried the bride into the Huo Mansion. After a series of tedious ceremonies of worshiping heaven and earth, Ning Xue was sent to the bridal chamber.

Ning Xue couldn't wait to lift the veil after entering the bridal chamber. The scene before her made her heart sink again. The bridal chamber was more shabby than she had imagined, and its area was half the size of her former boudoir.

The furnishings in the room were extremely simple. Apart from a bed, there was only a dressing table. Moreover, this dressing table was newly purchased and was made of pine wood, which gave off an unpleasant smell.

"Hongdou, open the window!" Ning Xue really couldn't stand the pungent smell.

Hongdou hurried to open the window, and at this moment, she was surprised to find that someone was secretly counting Ning Xue's dowry outside.

Hongdou was immediately furious. She quickly opened the door and rushed out, shouting, "What are you doing? This is my young lady's dowry."

Not only did the woman not feel the slightest bit of guilt, but she spoke sharply and bluntly, "Yes, it's your young lady's dowry, how dare you talk about it! Our Huo family has eighteen loads of betrothal gifts, and here are eighteen loads of dowry, not even one load more, and she's a young lady from a wealthy family! After all, it's all our Huo family's stuff!" After saying that, she shook her sleeves nonchalantly and walked away.

Hongdou was so angry that she stomped her feet. She quickly walked to the gate of the yard and closed the door tightly. Only then did she calm down and turned back to the room.

Eighteen loads of dowry were neatly placed on one side of the yard. Ning Xue never thought that someone would come to count her dowry.

At this moment, she couldn't help but wonder: Could the Huo family use the betrothal gift as an excuse to take away all the dowry? Once this thought came up, it spread like weeds in her mind, and the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.

So she hurriedly said to Hongdou, "Hongdou, move my personal dowry jewelry box and cash box into the room."

After going through this series of events, Ning Xue now feels more and more that apart from the empty status, the most real thing is the money in her hands.

After hearing this, Hongdou nodded without hesitation and immediately did as Ning Xue instructed.

The Huo family did not hold a grand wedding this time. Huo's mother was a person who did not understand the ways of the world and did not pay attention to matters of ceremony. She had never thought of expanding Huo Beixuan's network or building relationships for Huo's father by holding a grand wedding.

Most of those who want to curry favor with the Huo family are second-rate characters. Even if they want to curry favor with them, they would not be so shameless as to come uninvited without an invitation.

As for those powerful families that Huo Beixuan wanted to curry favor with, they would rather choose to go to the Shangshu Mansion for a banquet than come to the Huo Mansion.

Unfortunately, the Shangshu Mansion did not hold a big banquet this time, so the banquets for the Huo Ning family were both deserted, with no festive and lively atmosphere at all.
