Chapter 552 Extra Thank You Banquet (9)
The Yong'an Marquis' Mansion was also very generous, distributing wedding money along the way, and everyone in the city got a share.
The ceremony of proposing marriage is much more grand and lively than other weddings.
The lavishness of the betrothal gifts, which stretched as far as the eye could see, shocked the people of the entire city.
How exaggerated is it?
While the betrothal gifts from the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion were still being moved out, the leader Xie Zhiyan had already arrived at the Jiang Mansion.
There are several long streets in between, and the streets are full of betrothal gifts from the Marquis' Mansion...
There really is no end in sight.
The common people had never seen such a grand display before. They were amazed and couldn't help but sigh, "Oh my God! The second young lady of the Jiang family is so blessed!"
"Yes, who said that Miss Jiang Er had a miserable life? This marriage is a blessing a thousand times better than her sister's!"
"Who says he isn't? He's Xie Zhiyan, the prince of Yong'an Marquisate, the dignified Dali Temple Minister, the future ruler of the Xie family. He achieved fame at a young age, possesses unparalleled talent and beauty, and is truly a child of destiny..."
"It's truly spectacular! This Second Miss Jiang has finally reaped the rewards of her hardships..."
"..."
There was not a single woman in the capital who did not marvel at her and envy her.
At the gate of the Jiang Mansion, people from the Marquis' Mansion moved box after box of betrothal gifts to Jiang Wantang's courtyard.
The yard was too small to hold anything, so Xie Zhiyan bought the house next to the Jiang Mansion at a high price, specifically to hold the betrothal gifts for Jiang Wantang.
The Jiang couple originally stood at the door hoping to take advantage of the situation and feel vain, but they were so smiling that no one in the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion took them seriously. They all ignored the people in the Jiang Mansion and were only respectful to Jiang Wantang.
The betrothal gifts and betrothal gift list were handed over to Jiang Wantang alone, and a special housekeeper was even arranged to handle and keep them for her.
In the newly purchased mansion, Jiang Wantang held a thick stack of betrothal gifts in her hand, looking at the huge yard that was almost full of large red boxes, and the betrothal gifts that were still being moved in. She was stunned and didn't even know what to say.
After a long moment, she looked at Xie Zhiyan and said in surprise, "Master Xie, are you moving the entire Marquis' Mansion here as a betrothal gift for me?"
Xie Zhiyan chuckled, his eyes full of fondness: "This is just the beginning."
"Our mansion is more than just these things. You will know when Tangtang enters the mansion in the future..."
As he spoke, he took out a stack of red slips and handed them to Jiang Wantang.
Jiang Wantang lowered her eyes and took a look. Her pupils dilated again. She said in surprise, "This is... a dowry list?!"
"You...you also prepared...a dowry for me?!"
Two hundred and fifty-six...
Jiang Wantang looked at the man standing in front of her in astonishment, her eyes full of disbelief.
Xie Zhiyan leaned over to look at her and smiled faintly, "Tangtang, you should have been a pearl protected in someone's palm. Now that your family is gone, I will be your family."
"I will prepare your dowry in the name of my family, send you off to marry, and then welcome you back to our home as our husband."
"These dowries are all my personal property and have nothing to do with the Marquis' Mansion."
"From now on..." He gently took Jiang Wantang's hand and said every word seriously, "As long as I'm here, I will never let you suffer even the slightest bit of injustice again!"
"Home?" Jiang Wantang murmured again.
Afterwards, tears rolled down without warning. She hurriedly turned her back and raised her hands to wipe them away, but the more she wiped, the more tears came.
She shouldn't have been so moved, but the actions of the Jiang family during her time back in Beijing chilled her heart, especially last night.
But Xie Zhiyan's appearance was just like the only ray of warm sunshine shining on her in the snow.
How could a person who was nearly frozen to death not be moved?
Seeing her cry, Xie Zhiyan felt a pang in his heart, and he could no longer care about anything else...
He reached out and put his arms around her from behind, holding her tightly in his arms. He said with both heartache and tenderness: "Tangtang, if you have no one to rely on, I will be your support..."
"You want a family, and I'm your family."
"Don't be sad, okay?"
"Let go of the unworthy ones, and start a new life. You will have someone who truly loves you."
"I, Xie Zhiyan, will love you with my life."
He said the last sentence with great seriousness and solemnity, and every word was from the heart.
Jiang Wantang's heart also trembled uncontrollably.
She didn't say anything, nor did she push his arms away.
Because at this moment, for her, this embrace was really... too warm.
For Jiang Wantang, who has never had a home and has never felt love, this is undoubtedly a huge temptation.
She thought, even if there was a cliff in front of her, she might still take this step...
She thought, try...
Jiang Wantang closed her red eyes and stayed quietly in Xie Zhiyan's arms, reveling in the warmth of the moment.
Xie Zhiyan turned around and held her in his arms, completely embracing her.
This was the first time he hugged Jiang Wantang. Feeling the softness and fragrance in his arms was an unprecedented soul-stirring experience.
Just a hug is enough to make him fall in love...
Xie Zhiyan hugged her tightly, leaned over and rubbed her head gently with his face, full of tenderness and affection.
......
On the other side, Jiang Wanfu entered the Jiang Mansion from the back door crying. Looking at the unprecedented grand ceremony in front of the gate and the countless betrothal gifts, she remembered that she didn't even wear her wedding dress yesterday and just hastily worshipped heaven and earth with Xiao Jingheng.
At this moment, she was so jealous that she wanted to go crazy.
However, after crying in front of the Jiang couple, when Jiang Wanfu returned to her yard, she saw the butcher's lower body covered in blood, lying naked on the bed in her boudoir, with a man's thing next to him. She was so scared that she screamed and fainted.
Ran Xiuzhu just threw the person into the room, and everything that happened afterwards was done by Xie Zhiyan's people...
