Surprise!!! The Regent Princess is actually a hidden boss

Chapter 100 Want to Swallow the Bride Gift

The group arrived at the dining hall and saw that the servants had already prepared the meals. Although time was tight, Yunying had already calculated the time and ordered the servants to prepare the ingredients in the past two days.

Moreover, Yunying is very meticulous, so handling these things is a piece of cake for her.

The old princess looked at the dishes on the table and found that they were prepared perfectly. She was immediately satisfied. Her mother was so careful in her work, so her daughter must have taken after her.

Everyone sat down one by one, and the servants began to serve the food.

When the meal started, the old princess and Mo Yinan noticed that Chu Jun was holding the chopsticks with his left hand.

Mo Yinan then said, "I heard that General Chu fell off his horse yesterday. Is it serious?"

Chu Jun shook his head and said, "It's okay, this injury is nothing."

"But you are injured after all, General Chu still needs to take good care of your wounds. We also brought some tonics to heal your wounds this time. You can take them out when you ask the servants to sort out the betrothal gifts later."

Chu Jun smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Regent, for your concern."

"General Chu, you're welcome."

After the meal, Mo Yinan and the others prepared to go back. The old princess stepped forward and asked Yunying, "The wedding date is so short, how is Qianqian's wedding dress being prepared? Do you need our help to find more embroiderers to sew it?"

Yunying glanced at Chu Qianyu with a smile, then turned around and said, "I originally wanted to give Qianqian a surprise. Long before the wedding date was set, I had already written a letter to ask Qianqian's aunt to find a good embroiderer to start working on it. I think it will be almost done in a few days."

"That's good, that's good." The old princess was immediately relieved.

When Chu Qianyu heard this, she remembered the wedding dress. She almost forgot about it before.

When the group arrived at the gate of the mansion, the old princess really liked Chu Qianyu more and more. She even took off the jade bracelet on her hand, walked to her side, grabbed her hand and said: "This bracelet is my gift to you today. I really like you, child. Take it."

Chu Qianyu did not refuse, but accepted it generously, and then said in a gentle tone: "Thank you, Madam Mo, I like it very much."

"Okay, as long as you like it." The old princess patted her hands.

Then he looked at Chu Jun and Yun Ying and said, "We will take our leave today. We can meet more often in the future if we have the chance."

Chu Jun and the others watched the old princess, Mo Yinan and the others get on the carriage, and after they said goodbye to each other, the carriage gradually began to move.

After they could no longer see their team, Chu Jun and others prepared to return home.

At this time, the old lady, supported by Aunt Liu, walked up to Chu Jun and Yun Ying and said, "Come to the front hall. I have something to say."

After saying this, he walked straight towards the mansion.

Chu Jun and Yun Ying looked at each other and sighed helplessly.

Yunying turned to Chu Qianyu and said, "You have just recovered from a serious illness, so you shouldn't overwork yourself. Go back and rest first. Mother will have someone bring the betrothal gifts to your courtyard later."

Chu Qianyu looked at the angry old lady in front of her and didn't want to listen to her nonsense, so she nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, mother. I will go back first."

"Well, go back. Your father and mother are here." Chu Jun said.

After Chu Qianyu bowed to the two of them, he entered the mansion and headed in the opposite direction from them.

Li Jing wanted to say something when she saw this, saying that this was against the rules. Before she could say anything, Chu Ming pulled her aside and glared at her. Then she realized that she had to befriend them now and could not act like before. She also calmed down and walked behind Chu Jun and Yun Ying.

The old lady came to the front hall where the betrothal gifts were placed, stopped, looked at Chu Jun and the other man and said, "What are you going to do with these betrothal gifts?"

"Of course it's to add to Qianqian's dowry." Chu Jun said.

"Hmph! Yunying has taken over the household affairs, so she should have looked at the account books. Our shop has not been profitable in recent years. And Yutao is almost getting married. In my opinion, there is no need to prepare too much dowry. Today, you all saw that the old princess of the Regent's Mansion is very satisfied with Qianqian, so she will not treat her badly. Moreover, the Regent's Mansion is a big family with a lot of wealth, so no matter how much dowry Qianqian has..."

Yunying felt a pain in her chest when she heard this. Without waiting for the old lady to finish, she said in a slightly unfriendly tone: "Mother! Do you mean to simply prepare some dowry for Qianqian? Or even to use Qianqian's betrothal gift for Chu Yutao to marry a wife?"

The old lady looked at Yunying and didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said. She snorted coldly and said, "You said it. In that case, just do as I say and give Qianyu a small portion as a dowry."

"Mother, our general's mansion is not so destitute. We should keep Qianqian's dowry for Yutao to marry. You are too inconsiderate of Qianqian's thoughts when you say this." Chu Jun was also a little impatient, and his voice was slightly angry.

"What do you mean I don't care about Qianyu! Don't forget how I pulled you and your sister together back then. Where did the betrothal gift for marrying Yunying come from? Have you forgotten? It was your sister's dowry! You have become so capable over the years, but have you forgotten how we got through it before?" The old lady pointed at Chu Jun's nose and said angrily.

Chu Jun's face turned red due to these words, and he couldn't say anything to refute for a while.

But Yunying didn't buy it. Seeing that the old lady didn't back down at all, she said, "What Chu Jun did to me before is all in the past! As for Qianqian's betrothal gift, I'm going to make it clear today! My daughter's betrothal gift will never be given to Chu Yutao. Mother, don't worry about it."

Then he looked at the group of servants and said sternly, "Now carry all these betrothal gifts to the eldest lady's courtyard."

Then he said to Huilan beside him, "You go and keep an eye on it. When it arrives, ask the lady to keep the gift list. I will check it later!"

This not only made the old lady tremble with anger, but also made Li Jing beside her dumbfounded. Is this still the Yunying she knew before? It seems that she has become more confident and speaks differently.

But she didn't know that the old lady had touched her bottom line today, and dared to set her daughter's mind on Wang Man's son. Since she could say such a thing, she shouldn't blame herself for being unfilial.

The old lady took several deep breaths before she felt a little better. Now she just felt dizzy and weak all over.

But he still refused to back down, pointing the finger at Chu Jun and saying, "You just watch your wife disobey me? How can you be the head of this family?"

In his heart, Chu Jun was actually very satisfied with Yunying's approach, but at the moment he couldn't directly contradict her like Yunying did, but he still had to maintain the right attitude.

Then he looked at the old lady's expression and said helplessly, "Mother, what you just said was indeed a bit too much. Yunying was only thinking about Qianqian. And I also know that my eldest sister gave a lot to our family in the past, and I have often subsidized them over the years. And I also brought my eldest sister's son to the army for training, and now he has achieved some success. Please don't bring this up again."

"Besides, our family is not the same as before, so there is no need to use Qianqian's betrothal gift to make up for it."

"Also, when the Regent was here just now, you told them how much you loved Qianqian. If they knew that you secretly withheld Qianqian's betrothal gift, I wonder what they would think of you."

The old lady sneered when she heard this and said, "If the people in our house kept their mouths shut, how would outsiders know about this?"

Chu Jun shook his head and said, "Mother, you may have thought too simply of the Regent. How could his future princess not have someone secretly protecting her now? I'm afraid that what we are saying here has been heard by others."
