Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 494

The betrothal ceremony lasted the entire morning before the last chest was finally brought in.

The front yard was already packed full, and it also took up space in the two inner yards, so it was only with great difficulty that everything could be placed there.

The two ceremony officials were almost exhausted from reading the gift list; their mouths were dry and their throats felt like they were on fire.

This morning's work was equivalent to half a year's worth of their workload!

The master of ceremonies cleared his throat with difficulty and said in a hoarse voice, "Madam Shen, this is all the betrothal gifts sent by the Mo family. The list is here. Please keep it safe later."

Shen Lingjun quickly had a servant bring over monk fruit and honeysuckle tea: "Thank you for your trouble, gentlemen. Please have some tea to soothe your throats."

Listening to them talk, she felt exhausted just thinking about it!

After handing out several large red envelopes, they properly saw off the officials from the Ministry of Rites. Shen Lingjun looked at the mountain of betrothal gifts and felt a headache coming on.

How long will it take to sort this out?

Madam Wen laughed and said, "What's there to worry about? Just find a place to put them as they are. There's always room to pile them up, right? When you marry into the Mo family in a little over a year, these can all be included in your dowry. Take them all with you, and you'll save yourself the trouble of making a fuss."

That's exactly what the Shen family did.

The betrothal gifts that Mo Chonggui sent had already shocked them. The Wen family still couldn't be bothered to unpack those huge pile of boxes; they were just waiting to stuff them into Shen Lingjun's dowry and send them all to her when she got married.

But the betrothal gifts were a drop in the ocean compared to the dowry.

Shen Lingjun nodded and turned to see Qin Jianxi staring intently at the betrothal gifts.

She had this expression ever since the betrothal gifts were delivered.

Qin Jianxi murmured, "These ancient feudal ruling classes were really rich..."

Shen Lingjun: "Xi'er, what did you say?"

Qin Jianxi pulled Shen Lingjun and asked, "Mother, if you plan to take all these betrothal gifts with you as your dowry, can I go with you when you marry my godfather?"

Shen Lingjun was about to say that she hadn't really decided to marry Mo Zhonggui yet, but looking at the mountain of betrothal gifts in front of her, she felt she couldn't bring herself to say it.

The dowry was delivered to her house on such a large scale, and she still said she didn't plan to get married. It seems so pretentious and affected. There's something wrong with her.

Madam Wen chuckled beside her: "Why does Xi'er want to go with your mother?"

Qin Jianxi said confidently, "My godfather is rich! Of course, my mother is the richest now. I'll definitely have a better future following my mother than staying in the Yongning Marquis's mansion with my brother!"

Qin Chuyao: "......"

Shen Wei laughed heartily: "Have your mother set aside a portion of these betrothal gifts to keep as your dowry in the future!"

Qin Jianxi immediately objected vehemently: "No, this money is mine, and I don't want it as my dowry! I don't want to get married!"

Shen Wei: "......"

No, how come the single status declaration of the three siblings in the previous generation of the Shen family has been passed down to the next generation, and even the granddaughter has caught it?
