Prince Kisses Me Again

In the afternoon, the people carrying the betrothal gift had finally dispersed.

Originally, when he looked around, he saw that the entire small courtyard was filled with fiery red silk, but now that he placed a pile of them, he used the rest of the rooms in Qingxin Pavilion as a treasury. With the lock on, all that was left on the table was the marriage certificate and a gift slip that was a few feet thick.

Qingning looked at the words that were written there with a head full of white hair, and his heart was filled with anxiety.

He closed the box and said clearly, "Zhinuan, put this away for me!"

"Miss won't watch it!" The little girl had just brought the key over, and upon hearing this, she couldn't help but laugh, "I thought that I could see the flowers on this piece of book!"

She glanced at Zhinuan, and thought back to whether this girl had never been so honest in the first place, or if there was something wrong with her teaching methods.

Zhinuan felt a little guilty under her gaze, and silently carried the box into the room.

Not long ago, she had been sitting where Qin Huo had been, looking at the horizon, which was filled with the glow of the sunset.

"Qingning..." There was a light call as the madame entered the courtyard with the support of her aunt.

Behind Lu Lianghua, Lady Lin, Consort Li and the others followed.

It had been a long time since so many people had come to her courtyard. Every time someone came, something would happen.

Qingning stood up and gave a simple bow.

He then stood there quietly, waiting for the person to start looking for trouble.

Consort Li was the first one to lightly wave his fan and walk out. "I didn't have eyes to see this, so I didn't personally see Prince Rong propose marriage and obstruct the grand occasion on Vermillion Bird Street. I always wanted to come to Qingxin Pavilion to catch a bit of happiness …"

She looked around at everything, and then continued, "What about this? Second Miss, could it be that they are afraid of us looking down on them too much, so they put them away so quickly?"

The old mistress and Lu Lianghua both looked at Qingning, somewhat unnatural.

Qingning stood there blandly, these words were probably said for her to hear.

He had seen everything before, when that calamity had appeared in his Lu's Mansion, even if he hid in his own room, he could just casually open a window and see.

Lady Lin also took the appropriate timing to interject, "My Yan Er's betrothal gifts are all kept in the public treasury, Second Miss, you don't seem to be doing this … "Well, of course, Miss Long has her own way of doing things!"

Although her mouth was full of things that you should do, hearing this from the ears of the people in Lu's Mansion, she felt that Qingning's way of doing things was over the top, and that there was a precedent set by the young miss, for whoever's family had a higher position, they could take their betrothal gift.

The old lady's wrinkled eyebrows twitched, and she slowly stepped forward, "What your two aunts said makes sense. Are you still a girl who has yet to leave the house? It's not appropriate to keep so many things.

Lu Lianghua's face changed color, but just as he was about to let out a gentle voice.

Qingning said. "Alright!"

The few of them were stunned and a look of disbelief appeared on their faces. 'They agreed so easily?'

"Fine, then let's move everything to the public treasury!"

Just as Lu Lianghua finished speaking, the butler brought over 10 servants into the courtyard.

Although he did not dare to go against Prince Rong, he could not let such a big fat piece of meat not be ripped off for nothing after entering his daughter's courtyard through the betrothal gift.

He stepped forward to take a look and then went around: "Master, the door is locked!"

Lu Lianghua's face looked displeased, "Where's the key?"

Qingning gave a look that seemed as if he was standing on a stone table, Consort Li immediately pointed out to Lu Lianghua and said, "Old master, he's here!"

He just so happened to reach out his hand to take it, when he heard Qingning who was at the side using her hand to resist, and coldly said: "Father should take a look at this gift slip first!"

Lu Lianghua was a little confused, the old lady saw that she had understood everything, and nodded her head: "We should look around first, in the future, we should pay more attention to the dowry!"

"Second Miss is truly an understanding person!"

When she heard this, she knew that the madame was only saying it for Qingning to hear.

How could he still paste more? Even if he sold the entire Lu's Mansion, he wouldn't see a tenth of the Prince Rong's betrothal gifts, okay?

"Mm, I need to get a better look." Qingning's tone was light. After his gaze swept across the expressions of everyone present, he suddenly changed the topic. "If there's less bad news in the future, when the imperial family blames them, they can't just blame it on me!"

Consort Li could not hold back and took the initiative to ask: "What does Second Miss mean by that!"

She answered with good intentions, "These are gifts given by the imperial court. Although they are for my betrothal gifts, you can't just throw them away. I didn't think it would be good to leave them in the yard. It would be great if my father moved into the government compound to look after them!"

As he finished speaking, Lu Lianghua's face turned pale white.

This matter of damaging the bestowal was not big, nor was it small. However, if they were to encounter such a crime in a special period of time, it could lead to a lot of trouble being dug up.

What's more, this kind of item could not be used to exchange for money. It would be difficult to leave it in the mansion.

If only he knew that his daughter was his daughter, he wouldn't have agreed so readily.

A cold smile flashed across Qingning's eyes. If she could exchange for money, she would have been able to keep them here.

Lu Lianghua's expression changed, he waved his hand, and called the butler to bring more than ten attendants out.

He then coughed lightly and said, "Previously, when I was watching the betrothal gift, there were many errors on the porcelain jade screen. Maybe …"

Before he could finish his words, a servant came in to report, "Master, the Assistant Minister of the Government has come to visit!"

"Alright, I'll go now!" Lu Lianghua left without a word.

He had always been holding onto power, and when his subordinates came, he always showed himself fully. But today, he just so happened to get the reason, and didn't need to receive this hot betrothal gift from the Qingxin Pavilion, so how could he stay any longer?

Qingning naturally knew and did not try to stop her. He turned around and said, "How about we put her in Grandmother's Tune Pavilion. Grandmother has always been cautious when doing things, so there shouldn't be any problems!"

She had a sincere expression on her face as she handed over a large amount of wealth.

How could she accept it, "Grandmother is already old and my memory is not as good as before. If one or two of my underlings become greedy and take one or two with them, at that time it would not be good!"

Greed was not a big deal, but at least he had a clear mind.

Thinking about it, during the time she had spent in Lu's Mansion, the old lady had treated her fairly well, and did not intend to continue digging.

She only looked back at Lady Lin and said indifferently: "Second Mother just said that big sister's betrothal gifts have been placed in the custody of the public. Could there be another deeper meaning behind it?"

The few of them looked over, Lu Lianghua and the Old Mistress were originally worried about the betrothal gift from Prince Rong, if not for Lady Lin, how could they have already changed their minds?

He did not expect that Qingning would turn around so quickly. Lady Lin paused for a moment, then said: "Second Miss is right, Prince Rong's way of doing things is unique, you are the future mistress of the Prince Rong's residence, so naturally you will do whatever you want!"

Qingning's eyes darkened slightly as he said indifferently: "Today, the Prince Pingyang's Palace has hired me, so I haven't even had the time to congratulate Second Mother and Big Sis!"

Just as Lady Lin wanted to politely respond, she continued, "The position of the Prince Pingyang's secondary wife truly matches big sister!"

Hearing this, the hand holding the bead couldn't even move.

Today, Qin Yixuan had used Lu Mengyan as a pretense, but the betrothal gift had actually been left behind.

The size of the betrothal gift was that of a main wife, while Lu Mengyan was merely a concubine.

The man left in a hurry without specifying his position. Naturally, he would have more than enough space to circle around in the future.

However, if this matter were to spread out in the palace today, and the Prince Pingyang Palace were to think of what happened today, then even if Lu Mengyan were to be married off, his days would probably not be that good either.

The old lady raised her eyes and looked at the sky, and said: "It's not early either, I think Qingning is also tired, and should have already dispersed!"

Seeing that there was nothing left to watch, the rest of the people left. Lady Lin walked away gloomily with his tail between his legs.

Qingning leisurely said in front of the courtyard: "Grandmother, take care!"

It was really strange, Lu Mengyan actually did not appear when the matter of him stealing the things was so lively.
