Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 297
Chapter 297 Compete With Each Other
A large and mighty team walked towards the direction of the Lan Clan. Along the way, more and more people joined in, making the team stronger and stronger.
When they arrived at the entrance of the Lan Clan, even if there weren’t ten thousand people following them, there were still eight thousand.
In addition, there were quite a few carriages following behind, so this kind of team immediately attracted everyone’s attention. Even if it wasn’t for the betrothal gift, they still wanted to see what had happened here today.
Therefore, when the concierge in front of the Lan Mansion saw this formation, he turned around and walked towards the Lan Clan’s gate in fear. By the way, after entering, he tightly closed the Lan Clan’s gate.
The people who walked to the door of the Lan Clan laughed loudly when they saw this. They shouted loudly outside to let the people of the Lan Clan open the door. It was a good thing for their clan.
Of course, the peddlers who were picking up the goods placed their belongings not far away from the crowd and began to peddle. The excitement was a bit higher than usual, so loud that their voices were countless times louder.
Everyone was shocked, so some people went to call the door, while others went to the peddler to buy things.
In just a short moment, the path in front of the Blue Manor was completely surrounded. Everyone pushed and squeezed together. It was really too lively.
Yun Xiao opened the curtain of the car and looked outside. She saw this grand occasion in front of the Lan Manor. The corner of her mouth flashed with a faint smile, but the smile did not reach her eyes.
Chun Lan and Yun Xiao also looked out. They were extremely frightened by this formation. She covered her chest and said with a panicked expression, “Heavens, why are there more and more people? It’s too scary.” She had never seen such a person before when she was so big.
Yun Xiao only chuckled, “Don’t worry, if my guess is correct, I’m afraid there will be more and more people.”
The news of Lan Shuya, the second young lady of the Lan Clan, being the number one beauty in the capital had long been known throughout the capital.
And now, the Lan Clan’s Second Young Lady had already been disfigured. I heard that her appearance was even more eye catching. She could even spit out the food that she had eaten for a whole day.
And such a woman actually had someone else marrying her. She was also the biggest emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Yun Clan. In addition, the Yun Clan’s betrothal gift was too big. It was hard for people not to pay attention to it.
Therefore, there were quite a few people rushing over from afar, and there were no fewer carriages among them. Thus, Yun Xiao’s carriage was hidden in the crowd, and no one could recognize it. This carriage was actually from the Yun Clan, and it was also the source of the culprit.
Of course, this simple carriage did not attract anyone’s attention, which made Yun Xiao feel very satisfied.
At this moment, when the Lan Clan’s doorman saw the battle outside, his legs were so frightened that they became weak. He hurriedly rushed to the Lan Clan’s main courtyard.
The Lan Clan’s Clan Head had not returned from the Imperial Court, so now only Madam Lan was in charge of the Lan Clan.
Madam Lan was currently sitting upright. She picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and placed the teacup on the table. Only then did she look at Lan Shuya, who was sitting opposite her.
Lan Shuya wore a sky-blue dress today. She wore a belt embroidered with lotus flowers. She tied up her waist, making it look even more uncomfortable to grip. She wore plain lotus flowers with blue-colored clothes. It was as if the lotus flowers were blooming in a pond. It was extremely beautiful.
This figure could make a man feel like he wanted to take such a beauty for himself.
However, her exposed forehead, Lan Shuya was originally using her bangs to cover up the craters in front of her, but when she was blown by the windbreaker, her bangs floated up in the wind, revealing the marks on her forehead. Her pair of watery eyes were filled with emotion, and her silence was already filled with a hint of idiocy. Her entire face was covered with Mu Li, so she could cover up the marks on her face.
Madam Lan looked at Lan Shuya like this. A hint of disgust flashed through his eyes. “Ya’er, you also know that our Lan Clan has been unable to make ends meet all these years. There is no extra money, so your dowry will naturally shrink by half. It’s not that your mother doesn’t understand you. But think about it, you are marrying to the Yun Clan this time. The Yun Clan is the number one imperial merchant in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and you are also the eldest daughter-in-in-law. What will you have at that time?” Is there a need to stir up trouble with me over this point of marriage? ”
Lan Shuya’s expression was cold. She really thought that she didn’t know anything, so she allowed them to fool her. “Mother, even if I marry to Yun Clan, I still have to have some. Otherwise, others would think that the Lan family is a lowly person and would not be willing to give up any dowry to their daughter.”
Her hands were tightly clenched together. Otherwise, Lan Shuya really felt that she could not help but step forward and slap Madam Lan.
This woman actually wanted her to marry into the Yun Clan. She had never seen such a shameless woman before!
Madam Lan smiled faintly and said, “Ya’er, I have already promised you 10,000 taels of silver as dowry. Don’t be unsatisfied, otherwise, I won’t even give you a cent at that time. Besides, don’t even look at your face now. Do you think you are still the number one beauty in the past?” It’s good that I can send you out. I’ll have to pay ten thousand taels of silver. ”
Right at this moment, a maidservant broke in. The maidservant hurriedly walked in and passed the words of the porter to her. “Reporting to Madam, there are suddenly many people outside our Lan Clan. There are civilians and dignitaries. The porter is afraid that something has happened to the Lan Clan, so he asked this servant to inform Madam and ask her what to do.”
Madam Lan’s face turned pale, and she felt her body soften. If she hadn’t been sitting in a chair, she would have fallen down. She quickly calmed down and asked, “Quickly ask around, who is outside? What happened?”
When Lan Shuya saw this, she felt that this was her chance. She immediately stood up and said loudly, “Mother, it doesn’t seem appropriate to talk about things today. I’ll take my leave first.” She wanted to go out and take a look. Perhaps she could shake off all the things that Madam Lan sat down on. She wasn’t afraid that Madam Lan wouldn’t marry her at that time.
Madam Lan naturally understood Lan Shuya’s meaning with a single glance. She hurriedly said, “Sit down for me. You are not allowed to go out now!”
Lan Shuya sneered, “Are you not going out? Are you going to stay here and watch Mother’s joke?”
“You!”
At this moment, the maidservant returned and ran over with a happy expression, “Madam, Madam F, it’s a good thing!”
When Madam Lan heard that it was a good thing, she was no longer afraid. She straightened her body and said, “What’s the matter?”
“Just now, the porter said that the Yun Clan had come to deliver betrothal gifts to the Second Young Lady. The betrothal gifts were worth 60,000 taels of silver.” The maidservant was too happy, so she forgot that Lan Shuya was still sitting at the side and said loudly.
“What?”
“What?”
Two unanimous voices sounded at the same time, one filled with surprise and surprise.
Lan Shuya instantly jumped up from the spot and rushed to the maidservant. She grabbed one of her hands and said happily, “You mean the Yun Clan gave me a betrothal gift? 60,000 silver taels?”
When the maidservant saw Lan Shuya in a crazy state, she did not dare to refute. She only nodded her head, but her body was extremely stiff.
Lan Shuya suddenly turned around and laughed loudly at Madam Lan. She pointed at Madam Lan’s nose and said, “Madam Lan, mother, you heard the Yun Clan’s betrothal gift of 60,000 taels of silver. If you don’t want to lose face in the entire capital, you’d better give me 60,000 taels of silver as dowry! Now, I won’t accompany you!”
As long as Lan Shuya thought that 60,000 taels of silver would be her own in the future, she couldn’t help but laugh in her heart. She didn’t expect that she would really benefit from this calamity!
I heard that the entrance of the Blue Manor was completely surrounded. Such a grand occasion is rare in the capital. Now, let’s see who dares to look down on her?
Even though she was no longer the number one beauty, she was just a disfigured ugly monster! However, she still had the Yun Clan to support her!
Just as Lan Shuya’s figure disappeared from the living room, Madam Lan quickly walked to the maidservant’s side. A slap fiercely landed on the maidservant’s face. “I told you not to open your eyes. Can you tell me such a thing in front of that woman?” Lan Shuya seemed docile, but in fact, she had to be angered to death every day. It was precisely to counterattack Lan Shuya that she had deducted Lan Shuya’s dowry. Now that it was over, with 60,000 silver taels of dowry, she could not use the things sent by the Yun Clan. She had suffered a huge loss!
The maidservant covered her face and did not dare to cry or say that it hurt. She knelt down anxiously and asked, “Madam, please forgive me.”
Madam Lan harrumphed coldly and harshly scolded, “Hurry up and come out with me to take a look.” It was all the Yun Clan’s fault. Why did they get so many betrothal gifts? This time, the Lan Clan was pushed to the top of the storm.
However, no matter what, now that the Lan Clan had already agreed to the betrothal gift, they naturally could not refuse it.
Madam Lan quickly walked out with her maidservant. However, before they could reach the entrance of the Lan Clan, they could already hear the bustling sounds from outside. The sounds were very messy. There were discussions about the dowry, and some people said that the dowry was fake. Some even compared the betrothal gifts given by the Yun Clan to the dowry given by the third aunt of the Yun Clan the day before, and there were also people who kept peddling.
All sorts of chaotic voices treated the entrance of the Lan Clan as if it was a vegetable market.
Madam Lan listened with an angry expression. Who would have thought that she would meet Lan Shuya in a sky-blue dress at the entrance of the Lan Manor? This time, Madam Lan was extremely angry. She said sternly, “Take Second Miss back to her courtyard.”
The maidservant beside her immediately walked towards Lan Shuya. As she spoke, she reached out to grab Lan Shuya.
Lan Shuya skillfully avoided it and looked at Madam Lan with a mocking expression. She smiled and said, “Mother, I advise you to open the door as soon as possible and let those who are delivering betrothal gifts in!”
She will have a long face later, so that those people will remember her, Lan Shuya, and see who dares to look down on her in the future!
Madam Lan was so angry that she wanted to pull out Lan Shuya’s skin and tendons, but she could only forcefully suppress the resentment in her heart. “You can stay here. Later, someone will bump into you and knock Mu Li off your face. Be careful not to frighten others!”
Lan Shuya’s face was slightly pale, and she couldn’t help but reach out to touch her cheek. She really couldn’t see anyone with her current appearance.
However, just now, she had already told Madam Lan that she couldn’t go back. If she went back now, she would be slapping herself in the face. She really didn’t want to go back.
After some consideration, Lan Shuya decided not to go back.
Madam Lan saw that Lan Shuya was standing motionless and no longer tried to persuade her. She only snorted coldly and said, “Open the door!”
She wanted to take a good look. This woman who had already turned into an ugly daughter was worth 60,000 taels of silver? I’m afraid that the betrothal gifts are all fake, right?
The two doors slowly opened.
As for the people who were waiting in front of the Lan Clan’s mansion, when they saw the Lan Clan’s door open, they were like duckweed falling into the water, causing ripples …
