Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy
Chapter 23 The betrothal gift must be reviewed by 11 people
Ah Fu had never seen his young master so happy.
"Tell Uncle Shan that I want to review all the betrothal gifts prepared by the old house." Bai Xun said.
"Yes." Ah Fu responded with a smile.
"Second Young Master, this... isn't a good idea." Lu He hesitated.
"how?"
"The betrothal gifts were carefully arranged by the old lady. If you check it again in a high-profile manner, will the old lady be unhappy?" Lu He explained.
"why you are not feeling happy?"
"She will definitely think that you can't trust the people under her."
"I really don't trust the people under her." Bai Xun said lightly.
Lu He didn't expect him to be so straightforward, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
After leaving Jingyuan, Luhe quickly caught up with Ah Fu.
"Afu, let me do it. You're not good with words, don't ruin things."
Ah Fu was eager for her to go and talk to him, as he never liked dealing with the main courtyard.
Lu He originally wanted to find the butler, but when she was almost at the front yard, she stopped and changed her mind to go to the old lady's yard.
"Hey, what a rare guest! Why are you here?" Aster raised her eyelids.
Lu He was too lazy to talk to her and walked straight into the yard.
"Hey, what are you doing? How dare you, some outsiders, break into the old lady's yard? Are you all blind?" Cui Ju quickly stepped forward and blocked Lu He's way.
The little maids looked at each other and didn't dare to move forward.
"Oh, you little rascals! The old lady loves you so much in vain!"
"Madam! Madam! The second young master asked me to come and see you!" Seeing that she couldn't get in, Lu He stood at the door and shouted at the top of her voice.
"What are you yelling about? You've disturbed the old lady's rest. You all have to be beaten!" Mother Lan scolded with her hands on her hips.
"Mother Lan, it was the second young master who asked me to come here." Lu He said with an apologetic smile.
"Second Young Master? Humph, the old lady is resting now, let's talk later."
After saying that, Mother Lan was about to go into the house.
"Mother Lan, it's about the betrothal gifts. The second young master said that he wants to review all the gifts one by one. Please prepare them here and carry them all to Jingyuan." Lu He said with a smile.
When Bai Guilan heard this, her face instantly darkened.
"What is that!" She gave Luhe a blank look and turned to go into the house.
"What's all the fuss?" Old Madam Bai twirled the Buddhist beads in her hand.
"Madam, Lu He from the Second Young Master's courtyard came over and said that the Second Young Master has requested that he review all the betrothal gifts."
"What?" Mrs. Bai frowned and clenched the beads tightly.
"Forgive me for being so nosy, but the Second Young Master has gone too far. Doesn't this clearly show he doesn't trust you? I've watched the Second Young Master grow up. When has he ever treated you like this? If I were to ask, it must be the Nan family who's behind this."
Mrs. Bai's face was gloomy: "What a disaster! He hasn't even entered the house yet and he's already caused so much trouble."
"What about the betrothal gift?"
"Get ready, don't rush. Once we get there, we'll carry it to Jingyuan. If he wants to use it, he can use it. If not, he can go empty-handed."
"Oh, I understand." Mother Lan smiled happily.
Before we could be happy for long, we heard that a wood shop in the county town had delivered a step-out bed made of huanghuali wood.
"Oh, Second Young Master, this bed is so big and beautiful." Ah Fu walked around the bed curiously.
"Time is tight, so I bought the shop's most valuable possession. When Xiaochun comes over, if he doesn't like it, I'll have another one made to order according to his wishes."
Lu He stood at the door and gritted her teeth unwillingly.
The news that the second young master spent two thousand dollars to buy a Huanghuali step-out bed soon reached the ears of Mrs. Bai.
"Nonsense! Let's go to Jingyuan."
Mrs. Bai angrily took a group of people to Jingyuan.
"Second Young Master, Second Young Master! The old lady is here." Ah Fu came hurriedly to report the news.
"Grandma is here?" Bai Xun put down the book.
"Well, he's already in the hospital."
Bai Xun sighed, got up and went to the yard.
"Grandma, why are you here?"
"Hmph, if I don't come, you're going to make a fuss, right?" Mrs. Bai said dissatisfiedly.
"Grandma, let's go inside and talk. Luhe, take care of the tea."
Mrs. Bai drank her tea in silence.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Bai Xun didn't say anything either.
Finally, Mrs. Bai couldn't hold it in any longer and said, "I heard you spent two thousand dollars on a bed?"
Bai Xun nodded and said, "My grandson sleeps very well on that bed, so I bought it."
"Isn't it because of that wild boy from the Nan family?" Old Madam Bai glanced at him.
"Grandma, whether we get married or not, I have to sleep."
Mrs. Bai knew that he was making sophistry and did not want to argue with him.
"Xun'er, you can't do things arbitrarily."
"Grandmother's teachings, grandson remembers them."
Old Madam Bai sighed, she knew very well that Bai Xun was stubborn and would not give in to any advice.
"Grandma knows you've always been a law-abiding person, but sometimes being too law-abiding can lead to people taking advantage of you. Grandma is also worried about you, afraid you'll be blinded by the sweet words of those scoundrels."
"Thank you for your concern, grandma. I will pay more attention to it in the future."
"Marrying the Nan family's daughter is just a temporary solution. You don't need to worry about it. I've discussed it with the head of the family. After he marries, he will live in Tingquan Cottage."
Tingquan Cottage is a small courtyard in a remote corner of the old house that has been abandoned for a long time. It was once the residence of a concubine of the owner of the house.
"It has been renovated and is much better than the Nan family's house."
"Grandma, Nanchun will live with me in Jingyuan."
"you……"
"She is my legally married wife, so naturally she has to live with me."
"Xun'er, you don't have to do this."
"Our Bai family has always been abiding by the rules and respecting etiquette. We cannot be criticized for this matter. Grandma, I will explain this to Grandpa."
"Madam, Second Young Master." Bai Shan came over hurriedly.
"Why is the butler here?"
"The things that the eldest young master sent from Yangcheng to deliver to the second young master have arrived. They are waiting outside now." said Butler Bai.
"Then... Grandma, let me go and take a look."
Bai Shan arrived at the right time. Bai Xun walked out of the yard with a much lighter step.
There were six carriages, all piled high with stuff.
The person in charge of the delivery was a manager of the Bai family in Yangcheng named Bai Dahai.
"Why did you deliver it yourself?"
"The eldest young master said that these are specially used for the second young master's wedding, and nothing can go wrong. He was worried about others delivering them, so he asked me to follow."
"Uncle Shan, have someone unload the things into Jingyuan."
"Yes, Second Young Master."
"Thank you all for your hard work! Ah Fu has distributed the reward money to everyone, and I have prepared a banquet at Jufulou. You can take everyone there." Bai Xun said.
"Thank you, Second Young Master!"
"Thank you, Second Young Master."
Bosong really prepared it with care, and the items he selected are both exquisite and practical.
There was a box containing some Western toys.
Among them is a walnut music box with a very exquisite design. When it is opened, it will emit cool and crystal-clear music.
There are also a few strange picture books.
Bai Xun flipped through a few pages, his face flushed.
