Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 883: Chapter 332: Marriage, Origins, Schemes

Ningning’s child was born outside.

Fu Changsheng was somewhat surprised by the Seventh Prince’s straightforwardness, but he was not one to fuss over such trivial matters. He immediately cupped his fists and said:

”Everything will be done according to the Commandery Prince’s wishes.”

The Seventh Prince was very pleased with this response. After a moment’s contemplation, he spoke:

”In-law, regarding Ningning’s background...”

”Commandery Prince, rest assured, my daughter has already been registered under my wife’s name and has recognized her ancestors.”

”Hmm, very good, very good.”

The Seventh Prince was greatly pleased with Fu Changsheng’s perceptiveness. After all, he couldn’t let his son marry a child born out of wedlock. Although he had distanced himself from the Royal Family, he still cared about their reputation. The Seventh Prince lightly tapped his storage bag, a flash of dawn light appeared, and a box with a white dragon pattern floated towards Fu Changsheng:

”This is my special betrothal gift to my in-law.”

”As for the actual betrothal gifts, Uncle Zhou will help arrange them later.”

Special betrothal gift?

Fu Changsheng was somewhat surprised and quickly cupped his hands in gratitude.

After the two discussed the wedding ceremony matters for a while, the Seventh Prince took his leave. When he reached the garden gate, a familiar mechanical sound suddenly echoed in Fu Changsheng’s mind:

”Ding”

”You have formed a marriage alliance with the Royal Family, adding a strong support to your clan. You have gained one thousand Clan Contribution Points.”

In the next moment.

The Clan Contribution Points on the panel instantly updated to twenty-three thousand seven.

This was an unexpected delight.

Returning from the vineyard, Liuu Meizhen, who had been waiting for a long time, heard that the wedding would take place in ten days, and smiled: ”Fortunately, I started preparing the dowry early, otherwise ten days wouldn’t be enough.”

Even so.

To organize a wedding still requires handling many matters.

Liuu Meizhen gathered all the manpower from the Sang Garden and orderly assigned the tasks.

After Fu Changsheng returned to his room, he cast a Technique into the array, causing a light curtain to rise. Only then, did he flip his right hand over, and a box with a white dragon pattern landed in his palm:

”I wonder what this special betrothal gift is?”

With some anticipation.

One technique after another was struck into the box.

The Restriction was lifted.

Then, a flash of yellow light appeared, revealing a talisman inside:

”It’s actually a Talisman Treasure!!”

A surprised expression flashed in Fu Changsheng’s eyes, not expecting the Seventh Prince to be so generous. Upon careful inspection, he found that the Talisman Treasure could be used five times, and each activation was equivalent to a full-force strike of an Early-Stage Golden Core Cultivator:

”Very good, very good!”

With this Talisman Treasure.

Entering the Kunlun Mini World later, if he encounters the Eastern Wilderness Tribe’s Golden Core, he would have a measure of self-defense:

”With this in mind, Ningning’s dowry shouldn’t be too modest either.”

After all, marrying into the Royal Family, there would certainly be comparisons among sisters-in-law, and even the servants judge by appearances.

...

Prince’s Mansion, Phoenix Tree Garden.

Lady Jin was in Young Lady’s room, instructing her on matters regarding sharing a room.

Nanny Jin rushed in, looking flustered, Lady Jin frowned, thinking Nanny Jin became less capable with age:

”What could be causing such panic?”

”Madam, a word in private please.”

Nanny Jin glanced at Young Lady.

Lady Jin didn’t mind, generally thinking there might have been some mishap with Young Lady and Xuanming’s wedding ceremony. She immediately smiled and said to Young Lady:

”Young Lady, ponder over what I said just now, I’ll discuss it in detail with you after I’ve dealt with some matters.”

Upon exiting Young Lady’s bedroom.

Lady Jin’s face instantly turned cold:

”Nanny, you’re quite old now, why still so easily startled? Young Lady’s wedding is approaching, her mind already unrestful, with your antics, she will only be more unsettled.”

”Madam, if it were a minor matter, this old servant wouldn’t be so reckless, but it’s actually....”

Nanny Jin glanced around, quickly whispering to Lady Jin.

Lady Jin’s body shook.

Eyes wide open:

”Nanny, where did you hear this gossip? If Xuanming’s wedding plans were to change, wouldn’t the Prince discuss it with me in advance? Go chase away that gossip-monger from the Prince’s Mansion.”

Lady Jin fundamentally didn’t believe it.

Nanny Jin was on the verge of tears, repeatedly saying:

”Madam, this old servant personally saw Housekeeper Zhou ordering people to select betrothal gifts from the warehouse, with fanfare headed towards the Fu Family’s Sang Garden, and the First Madam, who had been in seclusion for years... she suddenly came out of seclusion, saying the Commandery Prince ordered her to handle the wedding banquet, it’s widely heard throughout the Prince’s Mansion.”

”Madam”

”Second Young Master is really marrying that woman from the Fu Family, and the wedding date is on... it’s the original big celebratory day for our cousin and the Second Young Master.”

Lady Jin’s face changed.

How could it be?!

The husband actually bypassed her and promised to agree to involve Xuanming. Yet, the husband usually doesn’t favor Xuanming, how could he suddenly relent, and even make decisions without consulting her first.

Nanny Jin saw her mistress’s face turn alarmingly grim.

Carefully said:

”Madam, the ones delivering the betrothal gifts should still be enroute, so what do you think.....”

If they rush to the Commandery Prince and plead now, perhaps there’s still time.

Lady Jin, who had been favored in the Prince’s Mansion for years, relied on more than just beauty; although shocked, she quickly calmed down, her thoughts racing, calmly saying:

”Nanny, immediately have Xuanming return home once, and also send people to investigate the Fu Family’s background carefully.”

”Madam, you agree to this marriage?”

Nanny Jin was taken aback.

She thought the Madam would staunchly resist.

But Lady Jin understood that since the Commandery Prince had promised the Fu Family, there must be reasons she hadn’t realized before. As a Consort, even if beloved, she knew well she couldn’t challenge the Commandery Prince’s authority.

Since the decision was made.

She had to carefully strategize (scheme) to maximize the benefits for the Commandery Prince, her, and Young Lady.
