Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

After the operation failed, Liu Si Niang did talk to herself, but what she said was useless. She was just angry. She was worried that the tricks she sent her servants to do were discovered, causing the mission to fail. This meant that Lin Lang was going to get engaged to Prince Anjiang smoothly, which made her unhappy.

However, she was not completely desperate, as she felt that there was still a lot of time from engagement to marriage. After all, Linlang had to at least reach the age of 15 before she could get married, so she still had time to make further efforts.

These words were meant to cause trouble for Linlang, but they had little effect on her. Linlang was temporarily confused as to why she wanted to marry Prince Anjiang, a man who was of lower status than her and much older than her.

Fortunately, Linlang also had plenty of time to slowly figure out the situation, so it was not too urgent at the moment.

Of course, the main thing is that after this crisis, it will take some time before the next crisis occurs.

And it was because of the outbreak of the next crisis that the original body realized that someone wanted to harm him. You know, the rash healed very quickly before, so both the original body and the wife of the Marquis of Jing'an thought it was an accident, not someone's intention, and they didn't realize that someone wanted to cause trouble for the original body.

The next crisis was not as hidden as this one, so the original person discovered that someone was looking for trouble with him. Then some other things happened, which further made the original person realize that someone wanted to harm him.

Without mentioning what happened afterwards, let’s talk about the present moment, when Linlang and Prince Anjiang were successfully engaged.

Because of the conflict between Princess Changle and the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion, they would definitely not tell anyone, so outsiders didn't know. When they saw Princess Changle saying that she would give Linlang 10,000 taels of silver as a dowry, many people were shocked.

Princess Changle was able to find a reason, saying that she had a good relationship with her cousin, Prince Anjiang, and that she also liked the little girl Shen Sanniang, so she gave 10,000 taels as dowry.

Although she said this, outsiders found her words unreliable, because they had never heard that she had a good relationship with Prince Anjiang, let alone that she liked Shen Sanniang. So why did she give 10,000 taels as a dowry? Was there any reason behind it?

However, because both Princess Changle's Mansion and Marquis Jing'an's Mansion kept the news secret, outsiders didn't know the truth and just felt it was strange.

The Princess Changle's Mansion gave Linlang 10,000 taels of silver as a dowry. Not to mention that Shen Erniang was jealous of Linlang for having so much dowry, as she would have plenty of money to spend after she got married, even Shen Yuanniang found this incredible.

No, I never heard of this in my previous life. How could such a change happen in this life?

Princess Changle actually gave Shen Linlang 10,000 taels of silver as dowry. Why?

Also, isn’t this too much?
Although the girls of the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion, regardless of whether they were legitimate or illegitimate, were said to be given a dowry of 10,000 taels, which was not a small amount, Shen Yuanniang knew that the mother of a legitimate daughter would also give some of her own money, so the dowry would be more than 10,000 taels.

Although the illegitimate daughters also have their own biological mothers, their biological mothers can't give them much private money at all, and they are even reluctant to give them a lot, fearing that if they give the little private money to their daughters, they will have no money to use in the future and live poorly in the mansion. At most, they will give the remaining private money to their children before they die, but it is not known when that will happen. Anyway, they will definitely not be able to give much when they get married. In addition, Shen Linlang married a county prince, who was much better than the loyal and brave illegitimate son of the baron she would marry in the future, so the betrothal gifts were not small. Adding all these together, just as Shen Erniang thought, Linlang had so much money that she could live a rich and comfortable life all her life.

As a result, he was already living a rich and comfortable life, and now he has an extra 10,000 taels of silver as a deposit. Who wouldn't be jealous?

Fortunately, her future husband will be a third-rank official. As a third-rank lady, her status will be as high as the wife of the Marquis of Jing'an. It will not be difficult for her to make money. She won't have to worry about not having much private money when she gets married. Otherwise, she will be like Shen Erniang and will not be able to accept it. After all, the difference between her and Shen Sanniang is too big. Who can accept it?

But there was also good news for her - just after Linlang's engagement was successfully completed, good news came from the palace. It was said that Wang Caiqing was favored by the emperor. Although she was only given a low-ranking title of Baolin, Shen Yuanniang knew that the world belonging to Concubine Wang was about to come. In just a few years, she would become a concubine and then be the most favored in the harem.

Throughout the dynasties, there were many people who were conferred the title of Imperial Concubine, but there were only a handful of people like her who was just a palace maid and could become an Imperial Concubine and the most favored in the harem in just a few years. No wonder the Wang family would jump from ordinary people to a marquisate. You know, it is generally difficult for the concubine's family to obtain a title. Only the empress's family has this honor. After all, that is the emperor's authentic in-laws' family.

But the Wang family was different. After Wang Caiqing became favored, the emperor not only favored Wang Caiqing alone, but also gave great honor to Wang Caiqing's family and gave them the title of marquis.

Families like the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion and the Zhongyong Marquis' Mansion became marquises because of their military merits, but the Wang family was granted the title of marquis just because their daughter was favored. Who would not be envious, jealous and resentful? Many families sighed that they did not have such capable daughters, otherwise they could also be granted the title of marquis like the Wang family, which was much easier than those families of military generals who fought desperately for military merits.

——But Linlang didn't think this was a good thing. The emperor favored someone and gave him a title, which was much better than someone who fought hard on the frontier to earn military merits. How could this be a good thing? If no one turned the tide, and this continued, the dynasty would be in trouble.

Shen Yuanniang was delighted to see that Wang Caiqing was favored just as she knew in her previous life.

She didn't realize that when she tried to win over Wang Caiqing before, the latter had no good impression of her at all. She just thought that she had won Wang Caiqing's favor, and that if Wang Caiqing was favored, it would be good for her husband's career.

But it is said that Shen Yuanniang will be getting married soon.

In fact, if she hadn't broken off the engagement and got engaged again, she would have been married by now.

Because of the re-engagement, I went through the process again, which delayed me, so it's time to get married now.

And just as she thought, her dowry was only 10,000 taels from the public treasury. Her biological mother and aunt did not give her much private money, so they just gave her a set of headwear. Naturally, it was not comparable to the private money that the wife of the Marquis of Jing'an gave to Shen Sanniang.

The Duke of Zhongyong wanted to befriend the Duke of Jing'an, so they gave a lot of betrothal gifts, more than 10,000 taels, which made her dowry look pretty good. In addition, thinking that the son of the Duke of Zhongyong could become a high-ranking official in the future, Shen Yuanniang was still happy to get married, and she didn't feel unhappy when she heard that Linlang's dowry was large.
