Ye Haoyang’s lips twitched; who would’ve thought, Chengcheng is quite the talker too.
Mu Shaoling felt a pang of jealousy. His son had never been so attentive to him.
Just because of this, Baili Han was more satisfied with Mu Niancheng.
After a mont, he said, "If Qiao’er has no objections, I have none." He paused and added, "If I end up fighting with your father, you aren’t allowed to help either side."
"..." Mu Niancheng secretly wiped his sweat.
Yang Chuxia clapped her hands and laughed, "This is great, another child is getting married. This is a happy occasion; we need to celebrate properly."
Ye Haoyang patted Mu Niancheng’s shoulder, "I thought I’d have to call you big brother, and it troubled for a while, but now it’s settled, you’ll have to call brother."
Mu Niancheng rolled his eyes, he never heard him call himself brother even once.
In the evening, several families gathered for a lively al, during which Mu Shaoling and Dongyang ntioned finding a date to officially propose.
Hearing this, Baili Han had a sudden thought and said, "For my daughter’s wedding, I’ll provide a dowry of five hundred thousand taels of silver. Estates and jewelry will be extra!"
He was a father with his heart set on his daughter, thinking that he and Dongxue had no clue how long they would live, and Qi Chen, that lad in Great Qi, couldn’t be a support for Yun Qiao.
As for the Ye Family, with Hua’en there, if anything happened in the future, it would be difficult to help.
So it’s better to give his daughter more silver, no matter what the situation, with money in hand, there would be no fear.
"Pfft..." Mu Shaoling spat out directly.
This old fox, was he trying to bury the Mu Residence with silver? But what did he an by saying that now?
It was Dongyang who was observant and probably understood Baili Han’s intention.
In the Capital City, when marrying off a daughter, usually the groom’s side presents the betrothal gifts first, and then the bride’s side adds more as a dowry.
He was obviously implying to the Mu Family that the betrothal gifts couldn’t be less than five hundred thousand.
Dongyang chid in, "Our family will provide five hundred fifty thousand as betrothal gifts."
Mu Shaoling opened his mouth, wanting to say, are you trying to empty the treasury?
Half of it was already used for Hua’en’s wedding.
"Hm." Baili Han nodded in satisfaction.
Hmph, this betrothal of five hundred fifty thousand was all for his daughter, which would eventually beco her dowry. With over a million in silver, his daughter would not have to worry about anything.
Yang Chuxia sighed, now this was truly a father who spoils his daughter; he probably calculated even for his daughter’s children’s living expenses.
Ever since Qi Yunqiao agreed to the marriage, the Mu Family started preparing.
Baili Han also began preparing the dowry.
Seeing the boxes of jewelry, Yang Chuxia couldn’t help but say to Ye Zi’an, "Do you think he’s moved the entire treasury of Great Qi over? This is just the surface; who knows how much he’s secretly given. With this grand display, all the girls in the Capital City would be envious."
Ye Zi’an said, "If my Yueyue gets married, I’ll prepare even more than this."
He felt a twinge in his heart, having just that one precious daughter, yet unsure of her current situation; he had been preparing a dowry ever since Yueyue was born, with so many good things.
Yang Chuxia naturally understood his thoughts, so she held his hand, "Our Yueyue must be living well."
"I hope so."
The affair of Mu Niancheng proposing to Qi Yunqiao at Prince An’s Mansion had stirred up quite the buzz in the Capital City, naturally reaching the palace as well.
Upon hearing this, Baili Yan felt a bit regretful as he originally planned to betroth his own daughter to Mu Niancheng, only to be preempted by that little girl.
