"I finally got married, so of course I have to show enough sincerity." Yao Mingjin looked at his father innocently.

"There's no need to give so much. Just give according to the general market price. Two hundred thousand taels of silver, plus jewelry and silks, is already very respectable and presentable."

Yao Jing's heart almost bled, because that was the property he had worked so hard to earn.

This prodigal son forgot his father after he got a wife.

Seeing his father's distressed expression, Yao Mingjin suddenly asked, "Dad, do you still want to get married?"

"If you want to marry, I'll leave you 300,000 taels of silver and half of the betrothal gift. I'm very generous."

Yao Jing rolled his eyes at him, "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm already old, why should I get married?"

Yao Mingjin smiled, "Since Dad doesn't want to save money for marrying a wife, I will use this money to propose marriage tomorrow to show my appreciation for Yang Yufei."

It turned out that such a big pit was waiting for him here.

This brat has more tricks than lotus root eyes!

Yao Jing's blood pressure was rising. He held his heart and tried not to look so distressed.

"Ah Jin, it's not that Dad is reluctant to give you a betrothal gift. But do you know what the situation is in Yongning Marquis's Mansion? Would your wife be willing for you to give her so much betrothal gift?"

"What if the betrothal gifts are all withheld by the Marquis's Mansion, and your wife only gets a little? Wouldn't you feel sorry for her?"

Yao Mingjin thought about the relationship between Yang Yufei and Shen Yuying, as well as the situation of Yongning Marquis Mansion that he had investigated, and felt that what Yao Jing said made sense.

"Okay, just do as Dad said and give a betrothal gift of 200,000 yuan."

In order to prevent the betrothal gifts from being embezzled by those people in the Marquis' Mansion, Fei'er was so heartbroken that she cried.

"I will give the remaining three hundred thousand taels of silver to Fei'er for safekeeping after we get married."

Yao Jing's mouth twitched, "You really are a wife slave. You're protecting your wife like this before she even gets married."

"Once she marries here, she will be the legitimate mistress of the Zhennan Palace. Daddy must treat her like a daughter."

Yao Mingjin's face was full of joy, and his mind uncontrollably recalled the indescribable happy and sweet things he had experienced with Fei'er after marriage, and he felt completely overwhelmed.

Yao Jing got goose bumps all over his body.

"Look at your worthless appearance. Go back to bed when you're done. Don't get so excited that you can't sleep the whole night. You'll scare people with dark circles under your eyes tomorrow."

He shook his head and turned away.

It's really incredible that his son is a love-brained person, and a very serious, hopeless kind.

Unexpectedly, Yao Mingjin, who was in love, suddenly came to his senses at this time and said something unexpectedly.

"Dad, I know you have another storehouse with more than one million taels of silver, antique paintings, and countless rare treasures. When my wife gets married, remember to pick out a few precious gifts for her."

Yao Jing staggered and fell directly to the ground.

What a sin! This son is so cunning and nothing can be hidden from him.

"I think you are my father."

A smile that captivated everyone appeared on Yao Mingjin's handsome face.

Yao Jing had been watching his son for nearly twenty years, but he was still mesmerized by his enchanting appearance.

"I know. Let's talk about it after your wife gets married."

Yao Mingjin asked Hanfeng and Hanye to handle it, leaving only two hundred thousand taels of silver notes and twenty boxes of jewelry and antique calligraphy and paintings as a betrothal gift.

Dad is right. His money is meant for his wife to spend, not for those self-righteous elders in the Yongning Marquis' Mansion.

After the betrothal gifts were prepared, Yao Mingjin washed up and rested.

However, because he was too excited, he tossed and turned in bed and couldn't fall asleep. All he could think about was the scene of him hugging and kissing Yang Yufei.

In fact, he and she really had that kind of relationship that day, and he didn't resist.

She was so beautiful and smelled so sweet. He had long since fallen in love with her uncontrollably and dreamed of being with her.

This time, with the emperor's decree granting the marriage, his wish finally came true.

Because he didn’t sleep well, Yao Mingjin woke up the next day with two dark circles under his eyes, which detracted from his outstanding appearance.

"Hanfeng, Hanye, please find a way to help me cover the dark circles under my eyes. They are too ugly. I can't stand it."

Yao Mingjin became anxious.

Fei'er likes handsome men. What if she dislikes him because he is ugly and no longer likes him?

"Don't worry, my lord. I will ask Hanlu to use rouge and powder to cover it for you. It will definitely not affect your stunning appearance."

"Then let her come quickly."

Hanlu took the rouge and powder and deftly helped Yao Mingjin cover his dark circles without leaving heavy traces of powder on his face.

Yao Mingjin looked at his handsome face in the mirror, which made countless girls scream, and he was finally satisfied.

Now, Yu Fei shouldn't dislike him anymore.

And my mother-in-law, I hope she likes him more.

"Sir, you don't need to go in person to propose marriage. It is more in line with normal etiquette to let someone of high moral character and prestige do it on your behalf."

Hanlu couldn't stand the way Yao Mingjin became stupid because of his love-sickness, and couldn't help but remind him.

Yao Mingjin: I don't need to show up to invite candidates? Is there really such a rule?

Why didn't anyone tell him this?

What was the point of him dressing up so grandly? Was it for nothing?

When Yao Jing came in, he saw his son looking as if his father had died.

He couldn't help but kick him on the butt again.

"Why are you looking so sad? Aren't you going to propose marriage today? I have asked Prince Qin and Prince Fu to help you propose marriage."

"According to the rules, I cannot go to the Yongning Marquis' Mansion to propose marriage."

If Yao Mingjin was listless, he wouldn't be able to see Yu Fei.

How can there be such a damn rule? It's so infuriating.

It’s boring. I don’t want to eat or drink water. I just want to curse.

"You are so stupid. Why don't you wait until the people from Yongning Marquis's Mansion move the dowry and go find your wife while they are busy?"

Yao Jing looked at him like he was a fool. "Where is your usual cleverness? You don't seem to be a rule-abiding person."

Yao Mingjin came back to life in an instant.

"Dad, you are indeed cunning, wise and intelligent. You are a god to your son."

It’s great to see my wife again, hehe.

Prince Qin and Prince Fu, with a team carrying betrothal gifts, went to the Yongning Marquis's mansion to propose marriage.

The Marquis's Mansion was shocked by Yao Mingjin's speed.

The old lady, Yang Daoling and Zhou Yueran watched the betrothal gifts being carried into the mansion in an endless stream and listened to the person reading out the long list of betrothal gifts.

"Five hundred years old red coral ornaments from the South China Sea, unique calligraphy and paintings by famous artists, suet jade ruyi, jadeite headpieces..."

The old lady's eyes were shining green, like a person who had been hungry for a long time and found a lot of meat. She wanted to put all the treasures into her warehouse.

As expected of the Prince of Zhennan’s Palace, this betrothal gift is truly lavish!

Two hundred thousand taels of silver as a betrothal gift and twenty large boxes of rare treasures, the total value added up must be more than one million taels of silver.

I didn’t expect that Yang Yufei’s granddaughter is so valuable.

Zhou Yueran was also surprised and pulled Yang Yufei over. "Fei'er, the Prince of Zhennan really cares about you, which means he really likes you. When you really get married, you have to live a good life with him. Don't be too arrogant and unreasonable, understand?"

Yang Yufei felt sweet in her heart, but a shy look appeared on her face.

"Mom, I understand. I will be sensible and will not embarrass you."

Zhou Yueran was very satisfied with this marriage, but she had not met the Prince of Zhennan yet, so she didn't know what he looked like or whether he had any extraordinary talents.

Yang Yufei didn't like noisy environments, so she said to Zhou Yueran, "Mom, please keep the betrothal gifts for me. I'm going to go back and rest first. I have a terrible headache."

She took Lark and Cuckoo back to her yard.

When she saw the man standing in her garden, smiling at her, she thought she was dazzled.

Yao Mingjin walked quickly to her, held her hand, clasped their fingers together, and was reluctant to let go.

"Fei'er, I missed you so much that I couldn't help but come to see you. Are you happy that I came to propose?"

Yang Yufei took Yao Mingjin's hand and walked towards her house, and asked Dujuan and Bailing to help her guard the door.

Then, she hugged Yao Mingjin's waist with both hands, stood on tiptoes, and kissed Yao Mingjin's angular lips.

Yao Mingjin's head buzzed, and he couldn't suppress the surging emotions in his heart, so he kissed her wildly.
