What he was about to say was interrupted by his mother, and the atmosphere was lost, so Xie Tingyu stopped talking.

When it was just him and Xing'er at night, he would talk to her alone.

Concubine Duan took Xie Tingyu's hand with one hand and Shen Nanxing's hand with the other, intertwined their hands, and said with a smile: "You two must work together in the future!"

Xie Tingyu nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, mother. Your Highness and I will work together till we grow old together."

Shen Nanxing also smiled and nodded, but the smile was only superficial.

At this time, Concubine Duan changed the subject: "Nanxing, Yu'er's solution to the flood in Liangzhou this time is a good thing that benefits the country and the people, and it is of great benefit to the reputation of Prince Jing's Mansion. If this matter is handled well, His Majesty will also look at Yu'er with new eyes, and it will greatly change Yu'er's future..."

"You're a smart child. There are some things I can't say directly, but I believe you can understand. You can definitely think clearly about the benefits involved, right?"

Concubine Duan stared at Shen Nanxing with burning eyes.

Having said this, Shen Nanxing had already made some vague guesses in her heart. She nodded calmly: "Mother, I understand what you said."

Concubine Duan immediately smiled and patted Shen Nanxing's hand gently: "Good boy, your mother knew that you are a sensible person."

As he spoke, his brows suddenly furrowed, his face filled with worry: "It's just that the Liangzhou flood is a serious matter. Because the project is so large, it will cost a lot of money..."

Here they come, the shameless mother and son are here to cheat money!

Shen Nanxing sneered in her heart, knowing that the mother and son were waiting for her here!

Everyone in the capital knew that Shen Nanxing, the legitimate daughter of the Nanyang Marquis, had an extremely generous dowry.

The Zhenguogong Mansion already had a profound history. The old Zhenguogong, Xu Mingwei, had accompanied the late emperor in his conquests, campaigning valiantly across the country and winning over seventy battles, both large and small. He was unwavering in his victories, expanding North Vietnam, once a tiny territory, to seven times its former size, making tremendous contributions.

In this way, a tribe that suffered hardships and was in turmoil in the world was able to build a strong and stable country and become one of the four major countries in the world today.

Although it is not the most powerful, other countries cannot bully it at will.

Therefore, when North Vietnam was founded, the late emperor appointed Xu Mingwei as the Great General of the Nation, granted him the title of Duke of the Nation, which could be inherited for three generations, and rewarded him with ten thousand taels of gold and countless treasures.

It can be said that the status of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion in the Kingdom of Beiyue is far beyond the reach of any other family except the royal family, and even if one spends his entire life, he will not be able to catch up even a little bit.

Not to mention that before the late emperor passed away, he bestowed upon the old Duke Zhenguo a precious imperial sword, capable of slaying treacherous officials and beheading tyrants. However, this matter was known only to the head of the Duke Zhenguo's household and the current emperor.

As the only daughter of the old Duke of Zhenguo, Shen Nanxing's mother's dowry was eighty-eight loads, only slightly inferior to that of a royal princess, but the contents were priceless. It contained all kinds of banknotes, jewelry, shop deeds, land deeds, and farm houses.

I heard that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion gave half of its property as a dowry for its daughter, which is enough to show how much the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion loves this daughter.

When Shen Nanxing got married, her mother gave her half of her own dowry as a dowry, and her grandfather also gave her half of the public treasury of the Nanyang Marquisate to add to her dowry, and...

What no one knew was that when Shen Nanxing got married, two dowry bags quietly slipped into the dowry procession. Although there were only two bags, they were filled with banknotes, land deeds, farms, and shops...

Shen Nanxing only took one glance and recognized that this was secretly given to her by her maternal grandparents.

So although her dowry was not as large as her mother's, it was still unique in the capital.

There are also disadvantages to having a large dowry, for example, it will make people want you.

If Shen Nanxing in her previous life had heard Concubine Duan speaking to her in such a friendly manner, she would have taken the initiative to offer her dowry when Concubine Duan mentioned that she needed a lot of silver.
