Chapter 375 I Decided to Pay Two Hundred Thousand Taels as the Betrothal Gift for the Princess

Hearing this, Chen Mo looked startled. He never expected that Fifth Fusheng would ask for a betrothal gift from him.

The fifth Fusheng saw Chen Mo's deflated look. He was originally depressed, but now he felt much better. He continued: "Since Mrs. Hui has betrothed Her Highness the Princess to the Marquis, it is a marriage of a well-known family, even though she is a concubine. But the etiquette must not be lost, the Marquis will not even give the bride price, right?"

Chen Mo: "..."

"Sir, what are you saying? The bride price will definitely be given, but I also know that I am in charge of the four states, and millions of people rely on me to support them. People's livelihood is difficult, money is needed everywhere, and the pressure is huge." Chen Mo started to cry Poor, and then said: "But Your Highness the Princess is sincere to me. Even in difficult times, this betrothal gift cannot be missing."

"You leave me to practice Tai Chi." Wu Fusheng listened for a long time and was stunned for a while. After saying so much, how much do you plan to give as a gift?

Don't talk nonsense, just give some numbers.

However, he was not the parents of Princess Chu Juan, and it was not easy to ask Chen Mo what kind of gift he had given. He could only sigh inwardly that he had underestimated Chen Mo's shamelessness.

"Sir, have another night's rest. I will tell the ladies about this later and ask them to clean up and leave with you tomorrow morning." Chen Mo said.

"I hope the Marquis will keep his promise." Fifth Fusheng said.

"Don't worry, sir."

After the fifth life was over, Chen Mo went back to the mansion where Prince Huai's family was imprisoned. By chance, he met Princess Huai again. Thinking about the scene he saw a few days ago, when the sage's cooling time had passed, Can't help but stand somewhat inconclusively.

Chen Mo smiled at Xiao Yunxi and went straight to Mrs. Hui's yard.

Looking at Chen Mo's back, Xiao Yunxi frowned. This lecher didn't leave until he went down. It wasn't completely dark yet and he came again. Don't you want to rest?

In Mrs. Hui's room, Mrs. Hui was having dinner with her second daughter Chu Juan. The dishes were very rich, with seven dishes and one soup, half of which were meat dishes.

Mrs. Hui likes the color red very much. She is wearing a bright red palace dress embroidered with patterns of gold threads and branches. She looks unparalleled and gorgeous. Three jade fingers drag the bottom of the bowl, and her hands are like finely polished White Jade, round and slender, picked up a pea-sized rice ball with chopsticks and put it into Cherry's small mouth with an elegant manner.

Chu Juan knelt down and sat opposite Mrs. Hui. There was a long table between them. She was wearing a long cyan dress. Her face was fair and delicate, as smooth as porcelain. Her appearance was five to six times what Mrs. Hui had imagined, and her skin was More refined, but a little less moist and mature.

She lowered her head and ate white rice without saying a word.

Mrs. Hui noticed this, picked up a piece of meat, put it into Chu Juan's bowl, and said, "Juan'er, what's wrong with you? You just eat without adding vegetables?"

"It's nothing." Chu Juan took a bite of the piece of meat that Mrs. Hui brought, but it only tasted like chewing wax. After chewing it carefully for a while, she still couldn't help but said: "Mom, has he come to see you?"

Mrs. Hui was stunned: "Who?"

"That's the one."

"Chen Mo?" Hui Fu asked.

"kindness."

"No, why do you ask?"

"That's good."

"Huh?" Mrs. Hui was confused.

"It's nothing." Chu Juan raised her head and looked into Mrs. Hui's eyes. Except for a trace of confusion, she didn't see a trace of panic. She breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.

She stayed in this mansion all day, and she still heard about what happened in the mansion. Chen Mo came here every now and then, and the servants who served him were spreading the news that Princess Huai and the three ladies were all with Hou. Chu Juan was worried that she was having an affair with Chen Mo, fearing that it was true, because Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Gan were already convinced that she was having an affair with Chen Mo.

Mrs. Hui put down the bowl and chopsticks: "Juan'er, are you hiding something from your mother?"

"No, mother, please don't ask." How could Chu Juan have the nerve to speak clearly about this kind of thing, Mrs. Hui is her mother.

Mrs. Hui felt that something was wrong. At this moment, Chen Mo's voice sounded outside the house.

The expressions of Mrs. Hui and Chu Juan changed slightly.

Chen Mo didn't knock on the door, just opened the door and walked in: "We are having dinner. It smells so good. I haven't eaten yet. We just want to eat together."

Chen Mo closed the door and walked over.

The two women stood up nervously and helplessly.

Chen Mo sat on the floor in front of the long desk, then waved to the two women and said, "Sit down, we are all a family, why are you so polite."

The two women looked at each other, Chu Juan grabbed Mrs. Hui's hand, and the latter gently patted the back of Chu Juan's hand to reassure her, then forced a smile on her face and said, "We are all full. ”

After saying that, he said to Chu Juan: "Juan'er, please go back first."

"Mother" Chu Juan didn't want Mrs. Hui to face Chen Mo alone.

"Go back first."

"Yes, mother."

When Chu Juan was about to leave reluctantly, her little hand was suddenly grabbed by Chen Mo, causing Chu Juan to scream like an electric shock, and Mrs. Hui was also panicked.

"Don't leave in a hurry. I still have something to say. Come and have dinner with me." After saying yes, he pulled her to sit next to him, and the two of them were close to each other.

Chu Juan had never been in such close contact with a man before, and she felt extremely uncomfortable and restless.

"Master Hou, you."

Madam Hui wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Chen Mo: "Madam has betrothed Her Highness the Princess to me, and she is my woman. Isn't it okay to keep her here to have dinner with me?"

It is better to have a wife than to have a concubine. After Mrs. Hui was betrothed, even if she was admitted into the family, she only had to toast Chen Mo and Wu Mi with a glass of wine, and it would be considered a ceremony.

Mrs. Hui had nothing to say. The two were already a couple. Looking at her daughter's look for help, Mrs. Hui just pretended not to see it and sat down opposite her.

"I see that the rice and vegetables haven't been touched much. Are you really full?" Chen Mo glanced at the long table, especially the white rice in the two bowls, which was obviously only a few mouthfuls.

"Neither I nor Juan'er have much appetite." Mrs. Hui said with lowered eyes.

"Who knew that every grain of rice on the plate is hard work. We can't waste it." Chen Mo pulled the rice from two bowls into one bowl and started eating.

Mrs. Hui and Chu Juan were both stunned, and then turned slightly red.

In order to cover up her embarrassment, Mrs. Hui hurriedly said: "What does the Marquis want to do?"

After taking a few bites to fill his stomach, Chen Mo put down his bowl and chopsticks and stretched his mouth towards Chu Juan.

"Ah" Chu Juan was surprised.

"Wipe your husband's mouth." Chen Mo said angrily.

For Chu Juan, Chen Mo did not intend to set rules for her like Liang Xue and others.

Chu Juan was startled. Ever since she was little, she had only been served by others. How could she ever serve others? She couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved, but she didn't dare to disobey. She took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped Chen Mo's mouth. His face turned redder.

Chen Mo then said: "These days, I wrote to King Huai and asked him to send someone to pick you up. Today they just happened to come. In order to show my attitude towards the princess, I decided to pay 200,000 taels as a gift to the county. The Lord’s dowry.”
