Chapter 6 Does our brother need a younger sister?
Wei Qiuci stared intently at the face in the bronze mirror that bore an uncanny resemblance to her aunt.
Her stepmother treated her well.
But what child wouldn't want to grow up with their own mother?
What she couldn't have, Wei Dongning could easily obtain.
How could she not be jealous?
The expression on the face in the bronze mirror gradually distorted, but after a moment it returned to its usual calm demeanor.
Not long after Bai Suyun and Wei Qiuci finished discussing her matter, she went to Wei Dongning's place.
As the wedding date drew ever closer, she grew increasingly anxious.
I was afraid that I might have missed something.
Unexpectedly, the protagonist of this marriage was not in a hurry at all.
Bai Suyun stood outside the window and heard Wei Dongning acting coquettishly towards Xiao Fu.
"Oh dear, little Fu, I translated it wrong just now, please let me translate it again~"
Bai Suyun stepped forward and found that they were playing cat's cradle.
Wei Dongning is now trying to get away with it because she made a mistake once.
But to his surprise, he was slapped in the face the very next second.
Xiao Fu was already immune to her tactics: "Miss, you said the same thing in the last game."
Then he turned and bowed to Bai Suyun: "Madam."
"Mother, what brings you here?"
Bai Suyun flicked Wei Dongning's nose: "Let's see how you resort to cheating when you can't beat Xiao Fu."
Seeing that Bai Suyun must have something to say to Wei Dongning, Xiao Fu prepared tea for them and then tactfully withdrew.
After Xiao Fu closed the door, Bai Suyun looked around at the room's furnishings.
"You'll be getting married in a few days, so I'm here to see if there's anything else I need to add to your dowry list."
Wei Dongning took out the stack of storybooks and the long sword that the original owner had hung in the most conspicuous place: "Mother, I want to take them all with me."
The long sword was light blue all over, and it gleamed coldly when it was drawn.
With a light flick, the sword rang out incessantly.
She tried dancing once.
Based on the original owner's memories, she actually danced quite well.
"Whatever you say. Your elder brother also sent a letter saying he will definitely come back before your wedding. Your wedding dress is being made now, and you should be able to receive it in a few days."
Bai Suyun looked Wei Dongning up and down, her voice filled with reluctance and sadness: "In the blink of an eye, my Ningning is getting married."
Wei Dongning felt a lump in her throat as she listened, and even Xiao Wu, who was usually the most talkative in her mind, fell silent.
If she knew that the original Wei Dongning had chosen to venture into another world, and that the person in front of her was a fake, would this gentle and beautiful woman be heartbroken?
Wei Dongning got up and threw herself into Bai Suyun's arms, hugging her waist tightly and suppressing the heat in her eyes.
Bai Suyun thought she was just being coquettish, so she gently patted her back with her warm hand: "Don't worry, the Marquis's mansion will always be your home. Your father said that if the Gu family treats you badly, he will bring people to tear the Gu family down."
Wei Dongning chuckled: "Father, aren't you afraid of the gossip in the capital, saying that the Marquis of Zhongxin's family spoils their daughter too much?"
"Speak up, their mouths are on their bodies, we can't sew them all shut."
Besides, if a daughter is mistreated by her husband's family, it would be truly laughable if her own family didn't stand up for her.
"Dong dong dong".
There was a knock on the door.
Then came Xiao Fu's announcement: "Madam, Miss, His Highness the Second Prince has sent two large boxes, saying they are part of the dowry he and the Imperial Concubine prepared for you."
Wei Dongning had only one thought in her mind at that moment: Holy crap, when did bro get so fast?
They had only been separated on the long street for less than two hours, and he had already prepared so much?
Having powerful connections really makes a difference.
"Just put it together with the other dowry items," Bai Suyun waved her hand.
It was as if this were just an ordinary little thing.
Xiao Fu accepted the order and was about to turn and leave.
Wei Dongning quickly stopped her: "Wait a minute, I'll go with you."
What are you going there for?
"I'll go see what my cousin has prepared for me."
Wei Dongning's eyes sparkled with anticipation as she pushed Xiao Fu outside, saying, "Quick, where is it?"
Su Yizhuo must have prepared items from the palace, and those are all good things.
This was the first time she had ever seen anything like it in both of her lives.
Bai Suyun smiled and shook her head.
He's still just a child.
Wei Dongning followed Xiao Fu all the way to the west gate of the Marquis's mansion.
Two mahogany chests lay there quietly.
Wei Dongning quickened her pace, walked to the box, and patted it twice with her small hands.
While looking at the box, he mentally communicated with Xiao Wu: "Little Wu, guess what gift my older brother prepared for me?"
Xiao Wu sat on the swing, swinging her little feet: "I guess it's just a normal little trinket given as a royal gift, like pearls, agate, or a vase. It can't be two chests of gold, can it?"
Wei Dongning agreed.
He then opened the box that was next to him.
Inside were jewelry boxes of various sizes.
Open any one of these, and you'll find that they could fetch several small fortunes in modern society.
Even Xiao Wu was secretly astonished after reading it.
What a wealthy and powerful person!
"Ningbao, ask your brother if he needs a younger sister? I'm easy to take care of."
"How easy is it to take care of?" Wei Dongning held up the kingfisher feather headdress to her own head, chatting with Xiao Wu while multitasking: "Is it the kind of easy to take care of as long as you give it some food?"
"Well, I'm still a bit greedy." Xiao Wu scratched his head guiltily. "I really like these things too. If your brother could be my brother, I'd be willing to live in a big villa and drive a sports car."
"Dream on!" Wei Dongning laughed and scolded as she opened another box.
The lid was closed again the next second.
"Miss, is there anything wrong with the contents of the box?"
Xiao Fu stepped forward and asked with concern.
Wei Dongning moved too quickly; she hadn't had time to see what was inside the box.
Wei Dongning swallowed and slowly shook her head.
Good heavens, is she dreaming?
Was that golden box what she imagined?
Xiao Wu's mind also quieted down.
They seemed to find it hard to believe their own eyes.
"Xiao Fu, my brother, my cousin sent someone to deliver anything besides these two boxes?"
"No."
Wei Dongning took a deep breath, didn't open the box again, and simply said, "Let's put it all away together," before walking unsteadily back to her small courtyard.
Then she buried her head in the blankets and screamed silently.
No one can resist gold!
She said it!
Those are gold ingots!
"Xiao Wu, I love you to death. If it weren't for you, I don't know when I would have been able to fulfill my dream of becoming a rich woman."
Xiao Wu conjured up an executive chair, sat down, crossed his legs, and said arrogantly, "That's right! How do you plan to repay me?"
"I've decided to take you to see a handsome guy tomorrow."
Of course, she had absolutely no selfish motives.
She promised.
If she utters even the slightest lie, may Xiao Wu never be able to eat any more snacks!
