The weak prince's queen

"Princess, let's go back to the palace." Matron Liu stepped forward, gently supporting Chu Xiyue, and spoke softly. Her heart was filled with gratitude and respect, because what had just happened had made her realize that Chu Xiyue was a kind-hearted and fearless woman. When danger struck, she stepped forward without hesitation to protect herself and the other maids. This kindness and courage deeply touched Matron Liu's heart.

"Yeah." Chu Xiyue replied softly. She took a few steps, then turned quietly and asked Mo Feng in a low voice, "By the way, Mo Feng, I want to ask you something. After what happened recently, I really don't want to give the return gifts to those hateful people as a dowry. So, can I take these gifts back?"

Mo Feng was stunned at first, then immediately nodded in agreement. He knew that the prince's status was far higher than Lord Lin's, so Chu Xiyue had every right to take back what belonged to her.

However, Aunt Liu beside her warned worriedly, "If we pull back the return gift, I'm afraid it will cause criticism and ridicule from the people."

Chu Xiyue pondered for a moment, a cunning light flashed in her eyes, and she said excitedly: "I have thought of a solution! You go and arrange the manpower..." As she spoke, she leaned close to Madam Liu's ear and whispered instructions.

After listening to this, Aunt Liu showed a pleasantly surprised expression on her face and nodded repeatedly in praise: "Princess, you are so smart! This idea is absolutely brilliant."

Mrs. Lin watched as several servants from the palace carried out the gifts again. Her eyes widened in surprise, and she asked in surprise, "Is this the etiquette of the palace? They're taking the gifts back?" She raised her voice as she spoke, her voice too loud to be ignored. The surrounding people heard the commotion, stopped in their tracks, and gathered at the door, watching the scene curiously.

"Mother, this is Father's way of showing consideration for my new marriage. It's a gift back to me, isn't it, Father?" Chu Xiyue reminded Master Lin, hoping he would understand the meaning and not make things worse. Master Lin stood there, pondering for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Chu Xiyue turned to Madam Liu and said, "Madam, please make the arrangements. Master Lin has spoken."

Nanny Liu understood and winked at the two servants nearby. They immediately picked up gongs and drums, beating them joyfully and shouting, "Lord Lin loves the princess so much that he's adding to her dowry!" Their voices, filled with joy and excitement, attracted even more attention.

Meanwhile, the other servants continued to busily carry the gifts out of the mansion. Each gift was meticulously wrapped, appearing exceptionally beautiful. Meanwhile, the two servants continued to shout, repeating the same words over and over again.

"Mr. Lin really loves this eldest daughter. He married her to the princess and gave her an extra dowry." A commoner said with emotion.

"Mr. Lin is really generous." Another person echoed.

"Indeed, it's so generous." The crowd burst into exclamations and praises, and everyone expressed their admiration and appreciation for Mr. Lin's generosity. The atmosphere was warm, full of festivity and joy.

"Then I thank you, father." Chu Xiyue smiled and bowed to Master Lin to express her gratitude. Her face was filled with happiness and satisfaction.

Master Lin forced a smile and waved his hand. Faced with such a scene, he could no longer say anything. He might feel helpless, but he could only accept reality.

"Let's go back home." Chu Xiyue said excitedly to the people around her.

"Yes...Princess." Everyone responded with greetings, and then the group returned to the palace in a grand procession, pulling several carts of gifts. Along the way, the two servants continued to shout, "Master Lin loves the princess and has added more dowry."

The people along the way stopped to watch, surprised and envious of the spectacular scene. They talked about it and praised Mr. Lin for his wealth and his love for his daughter.

Chu Xiyue was in a good mood sitting in the carriage. Whenever she thought of Mr. and Mrs. Lin's gritted teeth yet forced smiles on their faces, she couldn't help laughing.

Mo Feng and the others outside the carriage heard Chu Xiyue's laughter and couldn't help laughing too. They knew that Chu Xiyue had successfully made Master Lin and Madam Lin look bad, and their hearts were filled with joy and admiration.
