Chapter 174: The Xu family sold their daughter

Xu Wanrou to kneel down in front of her parents in front of so many people for her own marriage.

  No matter how weak she is, she still wants to do something that she can at least do. She cannot rely on the Shen family and Shen Zhiyuan for everything.

  Seeing Xu Wanrou kneeling on the ground, Shen Zhiyuan felt very sad. He rushed over, lifted up his skirt, and knelt down towards Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu.

  "Ask Uncle Xu and Mrs. Xu for help."

  He was willing to do anything for Xu Wanrou.

  The matchmaker walked up to Mr. Xu and waved his handkerchief.

  "Oh, Mr. Xu, Mrs. Xu, you see how sincere Mr. Shen is. The two children have such a good relationship. The boy is talented and the girl is beautiful. They are made in heaven. We can't do that kind of thing of beating mandarin ducks."

  "Master Xu is so lucky. , to find such a handsome and filial prospective son-in-law, who will be the number one scholar in the future, you are the first person in the world to be so lucky! I really envy you!"

  "Mrs. Xu, you are also very lucky, and you will be soon. If I have a prospective son-in-law who is a top scorer, I can safely marry Miss Xu to Mr. Shen. I guarantee that they will be in love and have two children in three years."

  The matchmaker started to perform again.

  "You...you kid, get up quickly." Master Xu and Mrs. Xu were shocked, and they went over to help Shen Zhiyuan up.

  He is now the young prince, the eldest son of Prince Shen's palace, and they are only fourth-rank imperial officials and cannot bear his worship.

  "Uncle Xu, if you don't agree, I will keep kneeling." Shen Zhiyuan pushed Master Xu away.

  Shen Hong's family didn't react at all and just let him do what he did.

  Xu Wanrou looked at Shen Zhiyuan with tearful eyes. He actually knelt down for her and taught her how not to be moved.

  In fact, she wanted to persuade him to get up because her parents were not worthy of his kneeling.

  Seeing Shen Zhiyuan's persistence, Master Xu relented. "Okay, I agree that you will get married next month."

  "Master..." Mrs. Xu glared at him, and when she saw that she couldn't take it back, she shut up.

  "Thank you Uncle Xu, thank you Mrs. Xu." Shen Zhiyuan kowtowed twice to Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu.

  "Yes, I wish you happiness." Mr. Xu helped Shen Zhiyuan up, with the word helplessness written on his face.

  Mrs. Xu did not help Xu Wanrou, but turned around and sat back on the chair.

  Shen Zhiyuan helped Xu Wanrou up, but her legs were numb from kneeling for too long.

  Seeing her embarrassment, he helped her slowly walk to her seat to rest.

  "Great, today is such a good day. Congratulations to Prince Shen, congratulations to Mr. Xu, the two families have a good marriage, and the future will be bright and prosperous." The matchmaker started singing again.

  Shen Hong said with a smile: "Brother Xu, let's change the wedding date and prepare a guest list for the banquet."

  "Okay." Mr. Xu agreed with his head.

  Mrs. Xu had a serious face and felt very unhappy, especially when she saw Shen Zhiyuan helping Xu Wanrou and being cared about by the Shen family.

  Why was this blessing given to Xu Wanrou?

  It should be given to Jinger.

  Why?

  Xu Wanjing bit her back teeth and looked at Xu Wanrou with such vicious and sinister eyes.

  Why was Xu Wanrou able to marry such a good Prince Shen?

  And she can only marry a bastard?

  Why?

  Shen Hong and Mr. Xu decided to hold the wedding on the second day of October, and also made a list of guests for the banquet.

  Do these two things at once.

  But the betrothal gift and dowry were a bit troublesome. The betrothal gift had been agreed to be three thousand taels of silver, but Mrs. Xu deliberately made things difficult, saying that the Shen family now held the title of prince, and the betrothal gift would also increase, and it would be ten thousand taels of silver.

  But the dowry was only five thousand taels.

  Shen Hong and Cheng Yurong were stunned, knowing that Mrs. Xu would make things difficult for them, but they did not expect that they would ask for a betrothal gift of 10,000 taels as soon as they opened their mouth.

  Xu Wanrou cried anxiously. She was particularly embarrassed when Xu's mother demanded to increase the price of the betrothal gift in front of everyone. She felt like she was a commodity.

  This hurts her personality and dignity.     "Rou'er, don't worry." Seeing Xu Wanrou crying pitifully, Cheng Yurong also felt sorry for her.

  For any respectable family in the capital, the dowry is usually more than three times the betrothal gift. Some who love their daughters will pay five, seven or ten times the dowry.

  Originally, for the betrothal gift of three thousand taels, the Xu family was supposed to give Xu Wanrou a dowry worth nine thousand taels and bring it to the Shen family.

  Unexpectedly, the betrothal gift more than tripled, but the dowry was less than half of the betrothal gift.

  It is not an exaggeration to say that the Xu family sold their daughter.

  Sons and daughters are all the same, except that the son stays at home and the daughter marries to another family.

  In fact, there is not much difference. If you are good to your daughter, she will also love and support your parents.

  Just because your daughter is going to marry into another family, you can't treat her badly. The lion will ask for the bride price and refuse to give her the dowry.

  When Cheng Yurong got married that year, Mrs. Cheng and Shen Hong only wanted a betrothal gift of 5,000 yuan, but received a dowry of 50,000 yuan in return.

  "Auntie, I'm sorry...I've made things difficult for you..." Xu Wanrou covered her face and cried softly.

  "It's okay, don't worry." Cheng Yurong wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

  Ruan Ruan was sitting on Shen Zhiqing's legs, suddenly jumped down and ran to Xu Wanrou.

  "Sister Xu, don't cry, don't cry, we won't let the bad guys succeed." She was really fed up with the evil Xu parents.

  Leave and open the merit system, go to the mall panel, find the Talisman column among the seventh-level products, and click to buy two obedient charms.

  It cost a total of 600 merit gold and took half a month to use.

  Obedient Talisman is also available for one, three and seven days use, and the price is relatively cheap.

  Just enough, counting from today to the day of the wedding, it is exactly fifteen days.

  "Ruan Ruan, thank you." Xu Wanrou was amused and her eyes lit up again.

  Evil cannot prevail over good.

  She didn't believe that she and the Shen family couldn't defeat the Xu family.

  Ruan Ruan walked back and pretended to let Shen Zhiqing take him to the toilet for convenience.

  As soon as the two walked out of the lobby, Ruan Ruan stopped.

  "What's wrong? Naughty boy." Shen Zhiqing sensed that something was wrong with her sister.

  "Hey, look, what is this?" With a proud look on her face, she took out two yellow talismans from her sleeves, held them up and showed them to Shen Zhiqing.

  "What is it?" He lowered his head and looked at the pattern on the yellow talisman carefully several times, but still couldn't understand it.

  "Do you want to?" He deliberately didn't finish his sentence.

  "This is the obedience charm. It can be used for up to half a month." Ruan Ruan covered his mouth and snickered.

  "Oh, I understand... Then go quickly, lest your parents get into trouble if they agree."

  "Yeah." Ruan Ruan smiled, closed his eyes for the next second, and recited a spell.

  The obedient charm immediately flew up, changing from translucent to fully transparent.

  Shen Zhiqing was surprised. This was the first time he saw the use of talismans with his own eyes.

  She made cool gestures with her little hands, and the two transparent talismans immediately flew towards the lobby.

  Under Ruan Ruan's spell, the talisman flew towards the Xu couple again, and after sticking to their backs, the golden light on the talisman flickered.

  Shen Hong and Cheng Yurong, who were closest to each other, captured this scene and thought that the daughter and the second son left the lobby, probably because they were "playing tricks".

  "Unconditionally agree to the marriage between Shen Zhiyuan and Xu Wanrou, cooperate actively and do not obstruct it."

  After Ruan Ruan gave the order, the bright eyes of the Xu couple suddenly became dull and lifeless.

  Like a puppet on strings.
