Seeing her husband's attitude, Qi didn't know what to say.

After all, the Liyang King and his wife are both from prominent families. Since they are willing to visit the Fu family three times to propose marriage, they must value this marriage.

After glancing at Zeng Ye silently, Qi took out a red silk package from her bosom, spread it out and handed it to Fu Guiyun.

"Yun'er, keep these two thousand taels of silver."

Qi said earnestly, "What your sister said just now is not completely unreasonable. After all, our family is not as noble as the Liyang Palace. I'm afraid any maidservant is very expensive. You will have to prepare more money for your marriage."

The dowry prepared by his uncle was already incomparably more generous than anything else in the Fu family. Looking at the pile of banknotes on the table, although Fu Guiyun was touched, he refused to accept any of it.

"My uncle and aunt have done enough for me. This money should be left to my cousin."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Zeng Ye hurriedly stopped her.

"Keep it, keep it safe."

Thinking of his deceased sister, Zeng Ye's eyes suddenly filled with tears: "Your mother passed away early. If I don't do more for you, who else can you rely on for this family?"

He really couldn't believe that his brother-in-law really loved his daughter.

Qi felt that this was not right, so she quickly replied, "Without your mother, your uncle wouldn't be where he is today. Seeing you get married in such a grand manner, your mother must be relieved in the afterlife."

After a pause, she smiled and said, "Your cousin is still young, and there is no rush to spend money. If he really falls into poverty, we don't have to worry about you, as his cousin, not giving him a bite to eat."

After hearing this, Fu Guiyun accepted the banknote.

"Thank you, uncle and aunt."

But thinking about the tragic death of her cousin, she felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

I will never let my cousin be persecuted again in this life, no matter what.

Fu Guiyun was also afraid that his uncle would continue to compromise with Pu for his sake, so he solemnly warned:

"It is said that children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Yun'er is now a grown-up girl after all. Uncle and aunt, please rest assured that Yun'er will find a way to live a good life. Uncle and aunt, please don't worry about Yun'er's affairs anymore."

In the previous life, Pu not only took the dowry prepared by her uncle with peace of mind, but also took advantage of the marriage with the Earl's Mansion to seek credit and asked for two thousand taels of silver from her uncle.

I was so angry when I found out about it, but the Earl's Palace was not as prestigious as the Prince's Palace after all, so I could only swallow my anger silently.

Zeng Ye didn't expect Pu to be very kind. He tried to please the woman simply because he hoped that she would not have any intention of harming his niece.

Now that she has the marriage proposal from the royal palace, no matter how scheming she is, she has to think carefully.

Thinking of this, Zeng Ye was very pleased: "You have always been a worry-free person. Your aunt and I have nothing to worry about."

After allaying his uncle and aunt's concerns, Fu Guiyun personally settled the couple down before taking Cuiluo to Pu's courtyard to receive the guests.

Now that the wind has changed, all the glory of Fu Yuanshu's previous life naturally fell on Fu Guiyun. As soon as he entered the door, he was heard to admire him with endless compliments.

After all, she had been a queen mother in her previous life, so she was very adept at handling this kind of situation and became one with everyone while chatting and laughing.

Seeing her stepdaughter enjoying such a glorious life, although Pu had a smile on her face, she was actually gnashing with hatred in her heart.

After seeing off the guests, he fell down in the bedroom, claiming to be feeling unwell.

For several days afterwards, he only ordered the housekeeper, Nanny Tu, to come out and take care of things, and he stayed indoors even when someone from the palace came to perform the ceremony of enthroning the Crown Prince's Consort.

It was not until the day of her wedding that she showed up pretending to be sick.

Fortunately, thanks to her aunt's dedicated efforts, Fu Guiyun had already finished preparing her face and makeup at daybreak, and changed into the Crown Prince's Consort's wedding dress, and was just waiting for the wedding procession from the palace to enter the palace.

Just as he was staring at himself in the mirror with his bright eyes and skin as white as jade, Pu's weak and helpless voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Luckily, her aunt is here, otherwise my sudden illness would have really implicated Gui Yun."

Glancing at her stepdaughter, Pu sighed with guilt, "Although I warned Madam Tu in many ways, I never thought that she was old and confused and neglected a big thing."

After saying this, he pointed at the two maids behind him and said, "Cuiluo is stupid, and Qinglu is still young. They can't handle the big responsibility in the palace. Jichun and Caidie have been serving me since they were young. They are smart and loyal. I feel more at ease to have them accompany you into the palace."

Staring at the girl approaching him, Fu Guiyun just smiled without saying anything.

These two people were more charming than each other. Ji Chun had heard about them a long time ago, and it was said that her stepmother had always been wary of them.

Qi had also noticed something was wrong. The maids arranged in the dowry list were all pretty and charming, and even the old maid in charge still had some charm. Now she wanted to force two vixens in, and it was obvious that she wanted to make things difficult for her niece.

Just as he was about to refute, Fu Guiyun spoke first: "Thank you, mother."

He looked so calm and composed that Qi was completely stunned.

"Why be so polite? It's just my job as a mother."

Pu was complacent, thinking that she had her daughter firmly in her grasp, and left happily.

When the room was quiet again, Qi was furious and complained anxiously: "Are you stupid, kid..."

But before she could finish her words, Fu Guiyun interrupted her with a smile: "It is said that everything should be put to good use, and everyone should be put to good use. Everyone is born with something to use."

She didn't think the two girls were a nuisance and they would be useful in the future.

It depends on how you control it.

Qi was completely confused by what she heard. She was becoming more and more confused about her niece.

The voice of the bridesmaid outside the house urging the bride to put on her make-up began to be heard. Fu Guiyun did not explain any more. He personally took the veil and handed it to Qi, smiling and saying, "Aunt, please cover me with the veil. Today is my wedding day, and we should all be happy."

Qi had no idea what to do with the child, so she had to obey, covered her with the veil, and helped her out the door.

After going through complicated ceremonial procedures, Fu Guiyun finally got into the wedding sedan.

The bright red wedding silk covered the entire street.

The generous dowry, together with the betrothal gifts from the royal palace, filled more than two hundred loads. Even Fu Guiyun himself had not expected such a glorious life.

The ten miles of red makeup stretched from the gate of Fu Mansion to the end of the road. The noisy sounds came one after another, but Fu Guiyun's heart was always as calm as a pool of stagnant water.

There was no fear of carrying the spirit tablet into the Earl's Mansion as in the previous life, but there was also no ardent desire and expectation like that of newlyweds.

It was not until they entered the Cunxin Hall of the Wang Mansion and were escorted to the bridal chamber after the wedding ceremony that, hearing the screams all around, Fu Guiyun lifted the corner of the wedding veil as if in another world.

Looking at Cuiluo and Qinglu who were frightened and uneasy in front of her, she frowned and asked, "What happened?"

"Girl, there is a tiger over there."

Qinglu pointed at a place not far away, her pupils losing their color due to fear.

Even the maid who led the way in the palace was stunned.

Fu Guiyun looked in the direction he wanted and saw an iron cage standing at the corner of the wall in the yard, with a huge tiger locked in the cage.

Looking closely with the help of the surrounding lights, I found that the tiger was listless and remained indifferent despite the provocation of a vicious dog beside the iron cage.

"It is said that the prince of the palace is a playboy, and his reputation is indeed well-deserved. Why does he keep a tiger in the inner court?"

Caidie came close to Fu Guiyun and complained in a low voice.

"Let's go."

Fu Guiyun pretended not to hear and covered her veil again, letting Cuiluo and Qinglu help her into the house.

But just as she entered the hall, a group of maids screamed again: "Girl, look quickly."

"Girl, be careful."

Cui Luo was so scared that she quickly rushed to her side to protect her.

Fu Guiyun lifted the veil again and saw a cage on the floor of the room.

There was a peacock with bright feathers in the cage, and outside the cage stood a strong rooster, flapping its wings and pecking at the peacock ferociously.
