Rebirth and Revenge: The Imperial Master’s Pampering of Me is Addicting Me

Mu Qingli never thought that her mother had prepared so much dowry for her. If she added her private property and the gifts given by her master, senior brothers and sisters, her wedding would probably be even grander than the royal wedding, and a bit ostentatious!

But Cheng Qin didn't think these things were too much at all, and shook his head with some regret.

"Come to think of it, if I hadn't been subsidizing your father's lack of military supplies in the past few years, I'm afraid mother would have prepared a larger dowry for you. Your brother's dowry hasn't been sorted out yet, so you two will each get half of the inheritance.

As for my private property, it will naturally be divided between you two."

"My mother is the best to me. I am so happy and blessed to have such a good family!"

Mu Qingli was very troubled, but she soon thought of a good idea and said nothing more. After all, she could hide her private property in other ways at that time. As long as it was not exposed in the open, it would not cause trouble for her.

Cheng Qin was very happy to hear this. He touched her head with a gentle smile on his face.

"Speaking of which, Ah Heng is truly remarkable. Over the years, I only knew that his writing was good, but I never read it in detail. I never expected that he would win the top prize just like your elder brother. Add to that the fact that you two are getting married, and it's truly a double blessing!"

"I'm not surprised at all by Brother Yiheng's strength, but I didn't expect the Emperor to agree so readily. It seems we are definitely a match made in heaven."

Mu Qingli narrowed his eyes and changed the subject.

Cheng Qin smiled but doted on her nose, her eyes gentle, "You~ are really shameless. Fortunately, I am really confident in Ah Heng. Otherwise, I would really be afraid that if I handed you over to someone else, they wouldn't cherish you well."

The mother and daughter talked privately for a long time before they began to work together to pack the so-called dowry. After all, the wedding date was set soon and the Gu family had even gone to the palace to ask the emperor for permission to grant the marriage, as they didn't want any unexpected changes to happen to the marriage.

Over there, the Gu family was also very busy. After all, given the relationship and status of the two families, even though time was a bit tight, the wedding had to be grand and splendid. The most important thing was to be sincere enough in marrying a wife, because she was the future mistress of their family!

Gu Luoheng felt a little overwhelmed seeing the waves of guests coming to his door to congratulate him. He wanted to close the door and say hello, but he was afraid that people would think too much at this time, so he had to follow his father to welcome the guests.

But no one knew where a little beggar appeared from, hiding timidly behind a tree at the gate of the mansion, looking at them, hesitant and not daring to approach.

But in the end, she still mustered up the courage to run over and talk to him. If Gu Luoheng hadn't been quick-eyed and sent a look to the doorman, she would have been stopped outside the door.

The child was young and his voice was still soft. He looked up at him with his little face.

"You...are you the Gu family's number one scholar? Someone wants to talk to you. She's over there. She asked me to come over and invited you over. She also gave me a silver ingot."

Gu Luoheng subconsciously looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, he saw a carriage parked at the corner of the street with a maid standing under the carriage. He took a glance and frowned slightly.

"Then go tell her to come and tell me in person if there's anything. There's something happy happening in the mansion today and I really don't want to leave."

The little beggar didn't expect him to have this attitude. He looked back and forth at him and the carriage over there with some hesitation, but after seeing his expression, he finally ran over firmly to pass on the message.

After hearing what he said, the people in the carriage were silent for a long time, their faces were almost gloomy, and the handkerchief in their hands was almost torn to pieces. They asked the little beggar to go over and hand him a letter.

The little beggar hurried over to pass on the message and handed over the things.

"Big brother, the people in the carriage said they just wanted to see you and ask a few questions. It won't take long and won't interfere with your reception. Please come over and see them."

Gu Luoheng frowned slightly, opened the letter and took a look at it. Without even finishing reading it, he put on a sullen face and repacked the letter and returned it to the little beggar.

"Go tell the people in the carriage that no matter whether I'm engaged or not, I'm devoted to only one person in my life, and I only wish to be with you until we grow old together. Moreover, since I'm already engaged, it's not reasonable for us to meet in private.

If she doesn't want her family's reputation to be affected by her, she'd better leave quickly!"

The coldness in the words frightened the little beggar, but he still huddled over and hurried over to pass on the message, carefully listening to what was happening inside.

In the carriage, Shen Yuqing's eyes were almost red, and Shui Yingying looked really pitiful. There was some unwillingness and despair in her eyes. In the end, she could only grit her teeth and leave.

The emperor had granted her a marriage, and considering the Gu family's attentive attitude, she had no choice but to give up even if she was unwilling. The turmoil over the succession to the throne in Beijing was very turbulent, and these noble ladies had rarely gone out recently because their families had reminded them.

But she was still unwilling to give up. She just wanted to meet him and ask him clearly, but she didn't expect his attitude to be so cold. At this point... there was no hope and she could only grit her teeth and give up.

The girl from the Mu family is also a legitimate daughter like her, so why is she so lucky!

On the way back, she became more and more unwilling to give up. She gritted her teeth and took out all the money she had and asked someone to hire a group of killers.

Even if she couldn't marry the person she loved, she couldn't let that little bitch Mu Qingli be so lucky! They were both legitimate daughters, how could she be willing to accept this!

Little did they know that this was exactly what Mu Qingli wanted. Soon the news of the Shen family hiring a killer spread throughout the palace and Beijing, and the things happening in the Princess's Mansion were also stirred up.

For a time, many people felt the powerlessness of officials protecting each other, and seemed to empathize with the nobles in the capital and were full of resentment.

The people were also talking about it in private, and it was at this time that shocking news began to spread quietly in the capital.

"Hey, have you heard? The once benevolent and loyal Prince Renxiu still has a posthumous child alive!"

"Yes, yes, I heard the news too. It's said that the emperor has been sending people to hunt him down for years, so he can only live in hiding. If it weren't for the disaster in Yunzhou some time ago, he was worried about the people and donated a large sum of money, I'm afraid no one would know he was still alive."

"I've heard that too. Didn't Crown Prince Renxiu die of illness? But a friend of a friend of mine went to find out and found out he was actually poisoned. I heard the bones in the coffin were all black, which is scary. The royal family must have been incredibly turbulent."

"Is this true? He's the crown prince. Who would dare to poison him? It's quite strange, though. It seems that after the crown prince passed away, everyone in the crown prince's mansion passed away one after another, and only then did the current emperor ascend to the throne."

"Oh my god, do you think that Crown Prince Cheng Renxiu was really killed by the current emperor?"
