Nangong Yu looked around. There were members of the royal family, high-ranking ministers, and ladies with great responsibilities.
At this time, they all looked at her intently and listened to her words.
She enjoyed this feeling a little, and even spoke with a little trembling:
"Sister, why don't you dare to let us open the box? Are you worried about damaging your reputation as a former general?"
Jinse walked forward slowly, her red lips slightly hooked, her posture lazy and casual, but her phoenix eyes emitted a frightening cold light:
"Nangong Yu, you keep calling me sister, is this how you treat your sister when things happen?"
Nangong Yu's tears fell down: "I don't want to either. If you hadn't been too partial and forced me to leave yesterday, we wouldn't be where we are today."
The guests were talking a lot.
From their perspective, Nangong Yu was tearful and his eyes were pink, like a bullied little white rabbit.
The oppressive aura around Jinse's body was so strong that it basically suppressed Nangong Yu. At first glance, he was bullying her.
They couldn't help but shake their heads, thinking that there were no such twists and turns in the military general's family, but they didn't expect that it was even worse.
He even developed a sense of superiority. No matter how fierce the fight in the back house was, the elder sister would never take advantage of the younger sister's dowry.
Listening to the discussions of the people around him, Nangong Yu cried even more sadly.
Finally, besides Brother Xiu Ming, someone finally understood her grievances.
Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Xie Xiuming walked out from behind Nangong Yu and stood in front of everyone:
"If Yu'er hadn't recognized the dowry box, your Nangong family would have concealed it today!"
"My sister appropriated my sister's dowry. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen to the Nangong family, which has always been upright?"
With a majestic look on his face, he ordered the people behind him: "Open the box!"
"Wait a minute," Jin Se stopped Xie Xiuming again and chuckled, "What if it can be confirmed after opening the box that the things inside are not your dowry?"
Seeing Jinse's disinterested look, Xie Xiuming frowned. Could things be turning around?
He asked Nangong Yu quietly: "Are you sure the dowry box is yours?"
Nangong Yu pursed her lips: "Brother Xiu Ming, you don't believe me? I'm sure, absolutely."
"good!"
After receiving the answer, Xie Xiuming was confident: "If it is not Yu'er's dowry, then I will pay double the value!"
He had made good plans and had already figured out the situation of the Nangong family, knowing that the Nangong family had been clean and honest for generations.
It was beyond his expectation to have the items mentioned in the dowry.
If it weren't for Nangong Yu's dowry, the rest would certainly not be worth much.
He won't lose much property, and he can also make the Nangong family look embarrassed in front of all the guests.
For someone from a dignified family of generals to marry into the royal family and only receive such a cheap dowry, what else would it mean to make a fool of themselves?
Seeing no objection from Jinse, he then asked, "If it's Yu'er's dowry, what will you do with it?"
Before Jin Se could speak, Xie Xiuqi behind her spoke:
"If it is Nangong Yu's dowry, I will also pay double the compensation."
Xie Xiuming couldn't wait: "Deal!"
The few items Nangong Yu mentioned are all valuable. Among them, Wang Xizhi's calligraphy and paintings and the jade clothes with golden threads are almost priceless.
No matter how you calculate it, he won't lose.
The dowry box was quickly opened, and several items mentioned by Nangong Yu were clearly displayed in front of everyone.
The crowd exploded, accusing Jin Se.
Xie Xiuming laughed loudly: "Third brother, you can't trust a woman's words easily. It seems that you have trusted the wrong person."
Xie Xiuqi smiled calmly and stood in front of Jinse: "I believe her."
Nangong Yu stamped his foot: "The facts are right in front of you, what else do you have to say?"
"Sister, you disappoint me so much!"
With that said, she walked towards the dowry box, but was stopped by Jinse halfway.
Nangong Yu said angrily: "Do you still want to admit it?"
Jinse raised her lips: "My good sister, you only remember that they are your dowry, but do you still remember how they became your dowry?"
"The jade garment with golden threads is a barbarian item I captured five years ago. The solid-color cat's eye agate was bought by me three years ago after spending a lot of money and doing business at the border."
"Wang Xizhi's calligraphy and paintings, and the finest heavenly silk cloth. These are the rewards given to me by the Holy One for meritorious deeds. They were given to me last time. They also have the imperial seal on them."
Thinking back to the past, Nangong Yu's tone was stagnant.
"It was you in the past...but then, you gave it to me..." She was still incoherent in the first few sentences, but then she became more and more fluent and confident, "What you gave me is mine. How can you take back what you gave away?"
use?"
In just two words, Jin Se changed the outcome, and no one could react for a moment.
Even Xie Xiuming was stunned for a moment.
Previously, Nangong Yu found something wrong with the dowry box and told him. At that time, he encouraged the other party to stand up bravely.
At that time, he didn't know that the dowry still had this origin, but now in front of everyone, he could only bite the bullet and do it.
"Nangong Jin, you should know that anything given to others belongs to them. Is it true that the Nangong family should take back what they have given away?"
Jinse: "There is no reason to take back things that are sent out..."
She lengthened her voice, and after seeing Xie Xiuming and his two men gradually returning to normal expressions, she said leisurely:
"Nangong Yu, are you sure these things are what I specifically said I wanted to give to you?"
Nangong Yu's attitude is still tough: "Now you don't want to admit it?"
Nangong Yi could no longer bear it and said:
"Yu'er, have you forgotten that when Jin'er got these things back, she wanted to give them to you, but my aunt didn't want to be partial and said they were too expensive and asked Jin'er to use them as her dowry."
"Jin'er couldn't resist, so she reluctantly agreed this time. Whoever gets married first will get to use it first."
"How come it becomes yours once it enters your mouth?"
Nangong Yu woke up from her dream, covered her ears and screamed: "You are talking nonsense!"
Nangong Jin wanted to live as a boy. If he hadn't accidentally been reborn as a girl, he might never have gotten married in this life.
The reason why she said that in the first place was so that these things would be in Nangong Yu's hands as they should be.
Of course Nangong Yu could see clearly Nangong Jin's intentions, so over the years, she regarded these things as her private property.
I have long forgotten the conditions for the gift.
Xie Xiuming's face was ashen. He originally wanted Jinse and Xie Xiuqi to lose face on their wedding day, but he didn't expect that it would be him who would lose face.
At this moment, he couldn't help but look at Jinse.
In the past, everything went smoothly for him, but once he met Jinse, everything went wrong. She was able to resolve every issue.
If he can marry Jinse, the civil and military forces in the court will get help, and that position will definitely be just around the corner.
pity…
He gritted his teeth and said, "What happened today is all due to Yu'er being young, naughty, and having a bad memory. Let's take our leave now."
With that said, he grabbed Nangong Yu and left.
Jinse sneered: "My beautiful wedding day was disrupted for a ridiculous reason."
"You actually want to leave?"
Xie Xiuming endured his temper and took a deep breath: "How are you doing?"
