Chapter 2023: The Suffering Fiancée vs. The Prestigious Young Lady (Part 58)

Just right, those prominent families have been observing recently and have yet to decide what kind of attitude they should hold towards County Princess Si Fang.

This royal decree undoubtedly made the choice for them – now they only need to see the attitude of Prince Ping’s Mansion.

If Prince Ping’s Mansion is satisfied, then naturally everyone will be happy.

With the status of Princess Consort Ping, bestowed by His Majesty, County Princess Si Fang will definitely become the object that all the prominent families in the capital desire to befriend.

But if Prince Ping’s Mansion is not satisfied...

Whether Prince Ping’s Mansion defies the royal decree in anger, or unwillingly marries this princess consort due to the palace’s decree, the attitude of the prominent families will naturally change accordingly.

An unfavored and unsupported princess consort, even with her prestigious status, cannot bring any benefits to the prominent families.

Prince Ping’s Mansion did not disappoint anyone; they quickly made their stance clear with their attitude.

On the very afternoon the marriage decree was issued, wagons filled with betrothal gifts from Prince Ping’s Mansion grandly arrived at Gu Shengyin’s County’s Mansion.

Passersby watching couldn’t help but be amazed at Prince Ping’s Mansion’s grand display.

Could it be that Prince Ping’s Mansion has emptied its coffers?

Of course, the Emperor in the palace also knew about Prince Ping’s Mansion’s reaction.

The Emperor was very pleased with Old Prince Ping’s understanding.

In his view, even if Old Prince Ping was not very satisfied with this daughter-in-law, under his decree, he still insisted on letting Prince Ping marry County Princess Si Fang.

A faint guilt passed through his heart.

The emperor’s guilt is always capricious.

The Emperor thought, since Old Prince Ping gave him such face, he shouldn’t be stingy.

Then, let’s give the future Princess Consort Ping some face!

Giving Princess Consort Ping some face is just right to silence the gossip, and it indirectly gives face to Prince Ping’s Mansion as well.

So, everyone saw that before Prince Ping’s Mansion finished delivering gifts, the palace’s gifts arrived at the County’s Mansion from another direction.

Equally luxurious, reaching a certain level of extravagance.

Many prominent families watched the palace-bestowed gifts, noting that some less favored princesses received gifts of this scale when they married.

This Princess Consort Ping of an unknown origin, what is her background?

Previously, some prominent families looked down on County Princess Si Fang, but now they are all uncertain and surprised.

They thought she was merely someone from a small place, fortunate to be noticed and made a county princess by the palace.

Now it seems, the Chang Family must not be simple at all.

But no matter how those people investigate, they can only find that Mr. Chang and his daughter from the small town in Cloud County are just ordinary merchants.

Naturally, they do not believe it, but cannot find more information, thus they become more wary of Gu Shengyin.

Chang Residence.

Mr. Chang has been in a daze all day.

Logically, he has been in the capital for quite a few days and seen much of the world.

But seeing cart after cart, chest after chest of items being delivered, his heart can’t help but race.

These months have completely overturned his lifelong understanding!

Finally waiting for the sun to set, Chang Residence finally quieted down.

Mr. Chang went to see his daughter.

"My dear Jiujiu..."

He looked at his daughter with infinite emotion.

His daughter, one day, will also, just like a leading lady from a play, have a grand wedding procession, gloriously, amid everyone’s envy, marry away.
