Chapter 332: A Banquet

Chapter 332

He Zhiran knew that the old lady Mo was impartial in handling matters, so she hurriedly said, "Mother, no matter who provided this silver, in short, one siheyuan courtyard is considered as part of Hanyue's dowry."

When Mo Jiuye saw this, he also echoed, "That's right, Mother. This is nothing difficult. As long as Hanyue lives well in the future, we can really feel at ease."

His words were already very obvious, with the intention of threatening Meng Huaining.

As the elder brother, if his only younger sister was not treated well by her husband’s family in the future, he would absolutely not stand idly by.

Meng Huaining could naturally hear Mo Jiuye's implication.

He was marrying the girl he liked, so he would definitely treat her well for a lifetime, there was no doubt about this. He didn't need to guarantee anything either. He would prove it with actions in the future.

The most important thing now was the issue of their future home.

"Old Madam, Ninth Brother, Ninth Sister-in-law, I can handle the matter of the house myself. I know you treat Lady Mo well, but such a heavy dowry is too much," said Meng Huaining.

He had never thought about what kind of dowry his future wife would have, after all, he was not clear about the Mo family's current situation.

On the surface, it seemed that the Mo family was not lacking money at the moment, but it was all earned by raising rabbits after going to Northwest.

Building such a nice house did not cost a small amount of money. He was marrying the girl he loved. The good days in the future were what he would strive for. He had never thought about the dowry.

This was also Meng Huaining's heartfelt words.

Mo Jiuye knew best that his wife had racked her brains these days to prepare a dowry for Hanyue. How could he possibly let Meng Huaining snatch it away now that his wife had finally decided on the dowry to give to the young aunt?

"The dowry is decided by the bride's family. Hanyue's dowry has been set. Brother Meng does not need to feel pressured," said Mo Jiuye.

Mo Jiuye gave others the impression that he was the type who had the final say. Therefore, Meng Huaining felt that it would be futile no matter how much he argued.

"Since this is the case, I will not stand on ceremony with Ninth Brother."

At worst, he could set up a few more shops in the city for Mo Hanyue to offset the dowry.

Mo Hanyue did not know Meng Huaining's thoughts. Seeing that her goal had been achieved, she shyly lowered her head and said nothing more.

Now when he sent messages to Fei Nanyu, he only said that the Mo family had settled in Xi Ling Village and were participating in farm work, and had accepted such a life. There was nothing else.

Meng Huaining did not recognize Nan Rui, but Xie Tianhai and Fang Chuanzhou also recognized him.

Having been officials at court for many years, they frequently saw Nan Rui face to face.

When the two of them turned around today, they saw that familiar face.

The two were instantly scared into a cold sweat, and even hoped they had made a mistake in recognizing the person.

However, they did not recognize the wrong person.

Nan Rui had brought Consort De to the banquet scene. He first scanned the surroundings. Although he had been living in Xi Ling Village for a long time, he had never met Xie Tianhai and Fang Chuanzhou face to face before. He had also instructed the Mo family not to reveal that he was here.

Today he chose to appear completely because he had made up his mind to live an ordinary life like the Mo family in the future. Therefore, he was no longer hiding his presence.

Just as Xie Tianhai and Fang Chuanzhou were about to kowtow to Nan Rui, Mo Jiuye reached out quickly to stop them.

Mo Jiuye whispered, "Uncles, pretend you don't know that person. I will slowly explain it to you later."

Hearing Mo Jiuye say this, they immediately understood, although they were still a little apprehensive.

However, they were also scheming people. They would not show it too obviously.

The two quickly adjusted themselves, no longer looking in Nan Rui's direction, but sitting down with the villagers instead.

Seeing this, Nan Rui nodded gratefully to Mo Jiuye, then was called over by Old Lady Mo to dine at her table.

With the guests seated, Mo Chongyuan thanked everyone on behalf of the Mo family again before the banquet officially began.

Because Meng Huaining was present, the villagers were somewhat restrained. Facing such good food, they did not dare to praise loudly, and could only silently lower their heads to eat.

Xie Tianhai and Fang Chuanzhou were not afraid of Meng Huaining, but they saw that Prince Rui was somewhat reserved. So after hurriedly eating some food, the two left in a hurry.

As for why the Prince was here, it was not their position to inquire. Thus, the two took their curiosity away with them.Geett the latest novels at novelhall.com
