Chapter 003: Dowry

Gu Qiancheng's mother's dowry is not only of considerable value, but more importantly, many items are unique treasures, making their worth immeasurable. With such a dowry in hand, one can live a life free from worries.

The dowry of Gu Qiancheng is precisely what Madam Gu has been scheming for. Madam Gu did not expect that at this moment, Gu Qiancheng would still remember the matter of the dowry

As he watched the crowd discussing the replacement of the bride as if no one else were present, Gu Qiancheng's eyes glinted with a colder light, his icy gaze sharp as a blade

No wonder, no wonder the original owner died of anger; even when faced with such relatives, she could not help but feel the urge to kill

Gu Qiancheng was well aware that in order for the Gu Duke's residence to reclaim that dowry, it would likely consume two-thirds of the family's wealth. The Gu family had many members, not just her and her sisters. It was absolutely impossible for the Gu Duke's residence to expend two-thirds of its assets to marry off one daughter

The meaning of this statement is that it will not be given anymore, and Madam Gu breathed a sigh of relief

A disabled daughter is no longer of value; thus, Gu Guogong's actions are not without justification, yet they appear excessively callous. The onlookers each observed with their eyes and hearts.

Gu Qiancheng's words made Duke Gu feel particularly embarrassed, his face turning bright red: "The dowry has already been delivered to the Zhao Wangfu; how can I possibly bring it back?"

"It doesn't matter if it can't be brought back; we can just exchange it for mhetushucomcom. The Zhao Wangfu and the Gu family can even exchange brides, so why can't the dowry be exchanged back? Father, Mother, you can take Qianxue's dowry to the Zhao Wangfu and exchange it for my dowry." Gu Qiancheng suggested "kindly"

Gu Qiancheng knew that no matter how hard she tried, she could not change the outcome of today, but to wish for a situation where one only enters and does not exit is merely a delusion

Even if they secretly sympathize with Gu Qiancheng, they cannot get involved in such matters. If her parents do not have a say, what can they do? Marriage is a significant affair, determined by the wishes of the parents. If the parents do not agree, Gu Qiancheng should not expect to marry.

Gu Qiancheng took a deep breath, suppressing the bitterness that surged in her heart beneath the books, and calmly said: "Father, the wedding gown can be removed, the husband can be relinquished, but what about my dowry"

As their gazes met, Duke Gu felt a chill run through his body under Gu Qiancheng's scrutiny. He felt uneasy in his heart, unwilling to admit his mistakes. In a harsh and menacing tone, Duke Gu commanded, "Qiancheng, go back to your room and take off the wedding dress"

As Qin Yunchu stated, do not indulge in fantasies of wealth and honor that do not belong to you

Father, you are well aware that I have not acted recklessly. The dowry taken to the Zhao Wangfu was prepared by my mother, and the Guo Guogong residence did not contribute a single tael of silver. How is it that my sister has taken my husband, and now she also seeks to take my dowry?

Upon the emergence of hetushu.com, the entire venue was thrown into an uproar. Those with even a modicum of intelligence immediately understood why Madam Gu chose today to take action, allowing Gu Qianxue to replace Gu Qiancheng in marrying into the Zhao royal residence

There is no Gu family girl who does not envy her dowry. Now that Gu Qianxue has the opportunity to seize it, how could she possibly let it go

Why wait until the wedding day to create a scandal about changing the bride? It turns out it was all for Gu Qiancheng's grand bridal procession.

Indeed, in the past, Gu Qiancheng's maternal grandfather invested the entire family's wealth as a dowry for her mother, a lavish affair spanning ten miles of red bridal attire

A heartless father, a cruel stepmother, and an unfeeling lover; Gu Qiancheng's life is a series of compounded tragedies

"Qian Cheng, do not act recklessly," Lord Gu said discontentedly, while a trace of worry flashed in the eyes of Lady Gu and the librarian.

Hahaha ... Suddenly, Gu Qiancheng laughed, her laughter radiant and dazzling, tears streaming down her face, her laughter more sorrowful than crying. It was only because of her smile that everyone remembered the bride was still present.

In the Gu family, according to tradition, the dowry for a legitimate daughter is 20,000 taels, while for a concubine's daughter it is 5,000 taels. The amount of her dowry is undoubtedly an astronomical figure that the daughters of the Gu family would never dare to dream of in their lifetime

"What nonsense! Where have I been foolish? If we are to speak of nonsense, it should be you two, Father and Mother." Gu Qiancheng laughed heartily, her laughter bold and unrestrained, in stark contrast to the shyness and delicacy of the woman. At that moment, no one would blame her for being impolite; given the blow she had just received, it was a blessing that Gu Qiancheng was not driven to madness.

Hahaha
