I traveled through the plane space with the trading system

After agreeing on the details of the wedding, Ye Muyuan returned to the palace. Meng Kexin looked at the large amount of betrothal gifts and felt a little worried.

"Dad, this betrothal gift is over 200 units. Our General's Mansion's warehouse can't even hold them all. Why don't you and Mom collect some of it and put it in your space rings?"

Meng Weiyuan nodded and said, "Put away 58 of them. You must bring them back to the palace on the day of your wedding, such as your golden seal, the sheep-horn lantern, the horses, and so on."

Meng Kexin was surprised and said, "Dad, don't you think the ancient emperors were really stingy? They even took back the betrothal gifts?"

"Daughter, you don't understand." Meng Weiyuan smiled. "This is called 'reciprocity.' Accepting the emperor's betrothal gifts represents our acceptance of the marriage; and bringing part of the betrothal gifts back to the palace on the wedding day demonstrates our respect and courtesy to the emperor. Besides, these items may have special meaning to the royal family."

After listening to her father's explanation, Meng Kexin nodded, not quite understanding.

However, she still felt that this rule was a bit troublesome, and muttered to herself: "It would be better to just give me the cash!"

Seeing his daughter like this, Meng Weiyuan couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle. He thought, there will be plenty of time to slowly teach her these court etiquette and worldly wisdom in the future.

Qin Wanying walked over and said, "Xin'er, you're getting married soon. Mom really can't bear to let you go. Once you get married, you'll be a member of the Ye family. What's more, you're marrying an emperor, so it won't be easy for you to go back to your parents' home."

Meng Kexin smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mom. The palace is only a few steps away from our general's mansion. I can go home to visit you and Dad anytime."

Qin Wanying rolled her eyes at her and continued, "You'll be the queen in the future, so how could you stay in the palace so easily? Besides, although we are both modern souls, Yuan'er was born and raised in ancient times. Look at the ancient people, who didn't have three wives and four concubines? Not to mention that Yuan'er is an emperor. If he changes his mind and wants to take concubines in the future, you will suffer."

Before Meng Kexin could say anything, Meng Weiyuan slammed the table and shouted, "How dare he! If that happens, I will risk my life to drive that brat off the throne and let our daughter take the throne."

Meng Kexin felt incredibly relieved after hearing her father's words. She smiled and said, "Dad, Mom, Ye Muyuan once said that he would never be tempted by other women in his life. Even if it came to that, I, your daughter, would never share a man with other women. I would choose to divorce him and make sure he could never find me again."

"Haha, you are worthy of being my daughter!" Meng Weiyuan looked at Meng Kexin proudly.

"Oh, Dad, stop praising me." Meng Kexin lowered her head shyly.

Qin Wanying sighed softly, "I hope Ye Muyuan will always be nice to our Ke Xin."

"Don't worry, Mom." Meng Kexin held Qin Wanying's hand, "I believe Ye Muyuan will not let me down."

At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door, and then the housekeeper ran in quickly and said, "General, Madam, someone from the Qin family is here!"

"Qin family? Are you talking about my maternal grandparents' family?" Meng Kexin asked doubtfully.

The housekeeper nodded hurriedly and said, "The eldest lady is right. It is the Madam's family who have arrived."

Meng Weiyuan and Qin Wanying looked at each other. Since they came to Glory City, they had visited the Qin family once. Ye Muyuan, out of respect for Meng Kexin's maternal family, let several of her uncles take up positions in the six ministries.

But because Qin Wanying was not the real original owner, there was not much contact between them.

They couldn't understand why the Qin family came to their house at this time.

Although they were confused, the family still went to the reception room, and Meng Kexin finally met the legendary grandfather and several uncles and aunts.

This old man really looks a bit like her grandfather in her previous life, which makes people feel very close to him.

Meng Kexin stepped forward and bowed, "Grandpa, hello, uncles and aunts."

Old Master Qin smiled widely, "Okay, okay, come and let Grandpa take a look."

Meng Kexin walked to the side of Mr. Qin. Mr. Qin held her hand and looked at her carefully, his eyes full of love.

"Similar, so similar." Old Master Qin sighed, "Your mother looked exactly like you when she was a child."

Qin Wanying stood aside, feeling a little touched. She didn't expect that Mr. Qin would love Meng Kexin so much.

"Grandpa, what's the matter with you coming here today?" Meng Kexin asked.

Old Master Qin smiled and said, "We came here this time, firstly, to see you, and secondly, to add some makeup to you."

Qin Wanying hadn't expected the original owner's father and brothers to come over and add makeup to her daughter. She said excitedly, "Father, I'm sorry to have troubled you!"

Qin Gufeng sighed and said, "Wan'er, Daddy knows that you resent me in your heart. You think I didn't take good care of Xin'er back then, and made her suffer so much. I understand that you have resentment, but think about it, if Daddy had taken Xin'er to the Qin Mansion at that time, what would Dongli Fuxing do?

Only if Xin'er grows up quietly in the General's Mansion can the old man from Dongli avoid causing trouble for Weiyuan and have time to let Hangu Pass slowly grow stronger, don't you think?

"I understand, father." Qin Wanying's eyes were red. She had always thought that her father was patriarchal and ignored her and her, but she didn't expect there was such a hidden story.

Qin Gufeng patted Qin Wanying on the shoulder and said, "I'm glad you understand, Wan'er. You're a sensible child. If you have any difficulties in the future, just tell your father."

"Thank you, father." Qin Wanying nodded, and the resentment in her heart dissipated a lot.

At this time, Meng Kexin's aunt Cheng Yumei took out a box and said, "Sister, for all these years, our family has never given up on caring for you. Even when Xin'er went from the General's Mansion to Hangu Pass, Daddy sent secret guards to escort her all the way. But when they saw that Xin'er had someone to protect her, they withdrew. This box contains the deeds to some shops in the capital, as well as 30,000 taels of silver in banknotes. They are all Xin'er's dowry. I hope you don't mind."

"This... is too much, sister. I can't accept it." Qin Wanying evaded.

"Sister, just accept it. This is a gift from our father. Besides, we are all family. When Xin'er gets married, it is only natural for us to add some dowry to her." Cheng Yumei stuffed the box into Qin Wanying's hands.

Qin Wanying was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. "Thank you, sister, thank you, dad."

Meng Kexin was watching from the side and was also deeply moved. Although she had not seen her family for so many years, they all loved her silently.

Amidst the laughter and cheers of the crowd, Qin Wanying accepted the heavy gift, which meant that she and her family had reconciled.
