Marry the villain and the whole court kneels down and calls her the queen

Liu finally couldn't stand Jiang Mingyue's persistence and found Jiang Jiu.

"Jiu'er, look...this marriage..."

Jiang Jiu smiled sweetly and agreed: "Aunt, please don't make it difficult for me. Jiuer has been raised by you since she was a child, and I should repay you for your kindness. As long as my cousin doesn't despise the Chang family's poverty, Jiuer agrees to the marriage exchange."

Liu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Jiang Jiu with even more loving eyes.

"If your sister were half as sensible as you, your aunt wouldn't have to worry about her all day. But as for the dowry... you know, the Lu family is rich, they don't care how much your dowry is. On the other hand, the Chang family might have to rely on your cousin to supplement their income in the future."

The Lu family gave a betrothal gift of three thousand taels, and Liu naturally prepared a generous dowry for Jiang Mingyue.

The Chang family only gave a betrothal gift of two hundred taels, so Jiang Jiu's dowry was a little meager.

Now that the marriage has changed, the dowry also needs to be changed...

Jiang Jiu lowered his eyes, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, but the words he spoke were still steady and sensible: "Auntie was able to raise Jiuer, the effort she put in is not comparable to money. Since the marriage has been changed, Auntie will take care of the dowry."

As long as Liu doesn't feel it's shabby, Jiang Jiu doesn't need a dowry. It's not her fault anyway.

However, when the news reached the ears of Jiang Mingyue's father, Jiang Xiancheng, he was so angry that he slammed the table and scolded Liu for being stupid.

"Exchange marriage? If you only want to exchange the person, it's fine. No one will know. After the person marries, she will belong to their Lu family. But you want to exchange even the dowry. What's wrong with your brain?"

"You're afraid that others won't know about this swap. Our Jiang family is treacherous and wants to swap brides at the last minute. I don't care. Even if you give all the dowry of the eldest girl to Jiang Jiu, you can't lose face as the county magistrate..."

Not only was County Magistrate Jiang angry, but Nanny Qian was also so angry that her chest hurt.

"Miss, when we first came to the Jiang family, we gave them five thousand taels of silver. Five thousand taels, even if you ate and drank to your heart's content, and wore gold and silver in the Jiang family, you wouldn't have spent more than two thousand taels in fifteen years."

"If she were to marry into the Chang family, which only offered a 200-tael betrothal gift, it would be fine for Madam Jiang to give a 100-tael dowry. But now she's marrying into the Lu family, which has offered a 3,000-tael betrothal gift, so Madam Jiang should at least give an extra 100-tael dowry. Doesn't she have any? Or is she trying to embezzle the money?"

Obviously, Liu was unwilling to give it.

Jiang Jiu put on her wedding dress. Her face was as rosy as a peach, her hands were as soft as catkins, her skin was as white as cream, she had a charming smile and beautiful eyes. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she was so stunning that she could topple a country.

The more handsome Jiang Jiu was, the more sad Nanny Qian felt. Her appearance was one of the best in the whole capital, but she had to marry a playboy in this small county.

It's like a flower stuck in something.

"Don't be angry, Mammy. Money is just a thing outside of our body. Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem. Besides, we have plenty of money."

"Since she even wants to change her dowry, let her do it. In the end, it's the Jiang family that will lose face anyway."

Madam Qian said helplessly, "But the dowry is the foundation of the girl. The Lu family is so rich. If the girl's dowry is too little, they will look down on her."

Jiang Jiu snorted coldly: "That's perfect, if you don't like me, just divorce me, I'm fine with that. After going through this, I can actually support myself as a woman."

In this era, women were harsh on others and their husbands were the most important thing. However, since the last emperor was a female emperor, the status of women has been greatly improved. Women can now become officials, start their own businesses, and engage in business.

However, now that the emperor has become a man, things have become a little more difficult.

After all, Liu did not go too far. She prepared ten dowries for Jiang Mingyue and three for Jiang Jiu. Now that the marriage has changed, she simply added seven more for Jiang Jiu.

At least to outsiders, it would appear that she was impartial towards her two daughters.

The wedding procession arrived. Jiang Jiu and Jiang Mingyue were dressed the same, and no one could tell them apart except Liu.

They bid farewell to their parents and went to their respective husband's homes.

When leaving the house, Jiang Mingyue finally couldn't bear the guilt in her heart and whispered to Jiang Jiu.

"Jiang Jiu, don't say I lied to you. I had no choice. When you marry into the Lu family, be sure to take good care of your dowry and don't let Lu Yunyang cheat you. He has many concubines, and one or two of them are powerful, especially the one named Mudan. She's vicious and beautiful, so be careful of her."

"The Lu family isn't as wealthy as the legend says. Lu Yunyang spends money like water, and the family's wealth has long been drained. If, if, you really can't stand it, divorce is fine."

"Don't be like me. I was so obsessed with saving face that I suffered and ended up dying miserably."

At this time, Lu Yunyang, who was disliked by Jiang Mingyue, was on his way to the wedding, but received bad news.

"Master, Miss Nishang was assassinated."

Lu Yunyang frowned: "How could this happen? But I found some clues."

"We've found out that Chang Mingyuan did transfer the family property back then, and it's closely related to the Jiangnan Jiang family. However, if we want to get that property, only a token of trust is not enough."

Lu Yunyang ordered: "Treat him as soon as possible and make sure he is saved."

"Yes."
