The beauty who wears fast has many babies

Chapter 47 World 2: Dowry Received

After settling down in the new courtyard, Wu Li began to wait for the wedding with peace of mind.

She would look in the mirror every day, practicing her smile and manners, hoping to look her best at the wedding.

Although she knew that this marriage was not just a matter between two people, but also involved many political and interest considerations, and despite Xiao Zeller's care for her, she still felt confused and uneasy about the future.

At the same time, Xiao Zeller was also actively preparing for the wedding. He not only carefully selected the wedding dress and jewelry, but also arranged a grand wedding ceremony.

He hopes to give Wuli an unforgettable wedding and let her feel his sincerity.

However, he also knew that married life might not be easy and he had to face various complicated situations and protect Wu Li from getting hurt.

"Miss, the prince has sent the dowry." Xiaoxing ran to Wuli with excitement on her face.

"Let's go and see what these things are." Wu Li and Xiao Xing came to the front hall and saw a mountain of dowry. Among them were the contracts of two shops, a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, and some exquisite antiques, calligraphy and paintings.

"It seems that the prince attaches great importance to this marriage." Xiaoxing said.

Wu Li was somewhat puzzled. Although the dowry was generous, it was probably just a drop in the bucket for Prince Rong. She couldn't help but think of what Xiao Rou'er had said before. Could this all be a conspiracy?

Just then, Xiao Rouer walked into the hall.

"Sister, you must be very happy to see these dowries." Xiao Rouer said with a smile.

"Thank you, sister. However, I heard that sister Xiao Wanru is also about to get pregnant?" Wu Li asked.

"Yes, sister. You don't have to worry about Wanru's affairs. I have also helped you get the dowry. You should think about how to fulfill what you promised me." Xiao Rouer said proudly.

Hearing this, Wu Li's heart sank. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a sneer: "Oh, sister, do you think I'm a fool? Although the shop contract is in my hands, it's signed by you, Xiao Rouer."

She stared at Xiao Rou'er, her eyes flashing with a sharp light. She knew clearly that this deal was not simple, and Xiao Rou'er obviously had her own plans.

Xiao Rou'er's face changed. She hadn't expected Wu Li to be so perceptive and see through the flaws. She gritted her teeth and decided to continue dealing with Wu Li.

"Sister, don't get me wrong. This shop originally belonged to our Xiao family, but it is temporarily kept by me. After you finish what you promised me, I will naturally hand it over to you." Xiao Rouer tried to explain.

Wu Li smiled coldly. She knew that Xiao Rouer's words were not to be trusted. She certainly would not be fooled by Xiao Rouer's sweet words, but would firmly protect her own interests.

"Sister, since you said so, I have nothing to say. Since you can't fulfill your promise, I can't help you with this matter." Wu Li warned.

After saying that, she turned and left, leaving Xiao Rouer with a gloomy face.

"Wait!" Xiao Rouer called out to Wu Li.

"Sister, why are you so angry? We are all family. I will have someone change the contract tomorrow, okay?" Xiao Rouer said calmly.

"No, but I have nothing to do today. Why don't we leave now to avoid any more trouble?" Wu Li's lips curled up in a sweet smile, but she secretly sneered inwardly. This Xiao Rou'er was truly naive and adorable, actually treating her like a soft persimmon. However, she would soon learn that she was not someone who could be bullied.

"Are you... a little too anxious? I'm afraid my sister doesn't have time to prepare for the wedding." Xiao Rouer's face darkened and she said in a panic.

Originally, she had planned to stall for time, waiting for Wuli and the Marquis to get married, and then force Wuli to ask the Marquis to marry her. This way, she could smoothly become the Marquis's wife, and the shop wouldn't need to change its name. However, she didn't expect Wuli to leave so soon, disrupting her plans.

"If my sister isn't happy, then forget it. The Marquis said he'll be there for the wedding, so I don't have to worry about anything. I guess he thinks highly of me." Wu Li looked at her provocatively, a hint of pride and mockery in her eyes. She deliberately emphasized the Marquis's importance to her, as if to show off her status and charm to him.

Wu Li's words instantly froze the air, and everyone around her felt the tension. Her gaze was firm and sharp, as if challenging the patience and bottom line of the person in front of her.

She knew that this sentence would cause dissatisfaction with the other party, but she didn't care. Instead, she enjoyed the excitement brought by this conflict.

At this moment, the scene was completely silent, with only Wu Li's voice echoing in the air. Everyone turned their gazes to the provoked Xiao Rou'er, anticipating her reaction. Some expressed worry, fearing that the argument would escalate further, while others secretly chuckled, waiting for the show to begin.

"What are you doing?"

Madam Liu's voice broke the silence, her tone carrying a hint of authority and questioning. Everyone turned to look at her.

Madam Liu walked in front of everyone, looked at Wu Li with burning eyes, and asked directly: "What's the matter? Miss, are you not satisfied with the dowry?" Her tone was full of provocation and questioning, as if implying that Wu Li was deliberately finding fault.

Wu Li's heart tightened, but she pretended to be calm on her face and replied with a smile, "Madam, you are too kind. How dare I express my dissatisfaction?" Her voice was calm and gentle, and no emotion could be heard.

"Mom, I'm just a little unhappy because the dowry shop is still being managed under my daughter's name." Xiao Rouer took the opportunity to flatter Wu Li, and her tone seemed to say that Wu Li was petty.

"Oh? Is that so?" Madam Liu looked at Wu Li, a trace of disdain flashing in her eyes. "If that's the case, then I'll transfer the shop to you."

Wu Li was surprised, but on the surface he pretended to be calm and said, "Thank you, ma'am."

"mother!"

Xiao Rouer didn't expect that Madam Liu would transfer the shop to Wu Li so easily. She felt very unwilling, but didn't dare to say anything.

"Don't forget what you promised. If you can't do it, you will naturally understand the consequences." Madam Liu's eyes were like two sharp swords, fierce and sharp.

Madam Liu thought to herself that she couldn't let the two shabby shops affect her plans. As long as Rou'er could marry into the Marquis's Mansion, Rou'er would have the final say in everything.

"Of course." Wu Li nodded.

Wu Li felt much more at ease when she took the shop contract. She knew what Madam Liu was planning, but she hadn't promised Xiao Rou'er would marry into the Marquis's mansion. Ultimately, the Marquis had the final say.

Besides, these two idiots are so confident they think they can completely control me. They're talking to me so openly, I'm afraid the Marquis has already heard about this.
