Chapter 816 - 816 Betrothal Gift (5) (1/2)

816 Betrothal Gift (5)

Everyone in the Shen family felt as if they had been struck by a shocking lightning.

Logically speaking, the dowry had to be equivalent in value. Although it did not have to be more than the betrothal gifts, it could not be too far apart. Otherwise, when a girl went to her in-laws’ house, she would be disdained. If the dowry was very generous, the girl would be respected. Therefore, the more dowry, the better.

Shen Xin naturally doted on his daughter, but as for the dowry… Prince Rui had given the Shen family so many betrothal gifts. Even if he emptied the entire Ming Qi treasury, he wouldn’t be able to prepare a dowry equivalent in value.

Prince Rui gave the Shen family a problem.

…

At night, Shen Miao sat under the light and thought of Tie Yi singing happily with a long betrothal gift list in his hand during the day. She couldn’t help but want to laugh.

Xie Jingxing actually wrote so many betrothal gifts. Shen Miao held her forehead. If word spread, the Shen family would probably be envied by everyone in Ming Qi. However, it was only a matter of time before word spread.

However, Shen Miao did not know if Emperor Yong Le knew that Xie Jingxing had squandered so much money. As she thought about it, Shen Miao felt a little sad.

In her previous life, when she married Fu Xiuyi, Fu Xiuyi’s betrothal gift was pathetic. At that time, Fu Xiuyi said he was frugal by nature and didn’t want to hold a grand wedding, so Shen Miao believed him. Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan were afraid that she would suffer, so they took out more than half of the Shen family’s assets to make a dowry for her.

In the end, the dowry was all used up by Fu Xiuyi.
