Princess Qinjiang sneered and said, "Princess Anguo gave Hai Mujin such a generous gift only because of the Crown Prince's favor."

The Hai family was, after all, the Crown Prince's maternal family.

"What the princess says is quite true. However, it is also Bai Qiu's good fortune that she was able to marry into the Hai family, and her daughter also enjoys such glory."

Madam Jiang knew that Princess Qinjiang and Jiang Baiqiu were mortal enemies, so she said this on purpose.

Princess Qinjiang glanced at her sister-in-law, knowing she was on her side, and snorted coldly, "Let's go, let's go and say a few words."

The maid lifted the curtain, and Princess Qinjiang and Madam Jiang entered the bridal chamber one after the other.

Hai Mujin was already dressed up, her wedding attire a bright red phoenix coronet and embroidered robe, embroidered with auspicious cloud and bluebird patterns in gold and silver threads, intricate and exquisite.

The bluebird's eyes and feathers are adorned with crimson gems and South Sea pearls, making it lifelike and dazzling.

Hai Mujin is gentle yet quick-witted; she is currently speaking with Ying Yufu.

"Fu'er, I know you're busy, but you still took the time out of your busy schedule to bring me this dowry. I'm truly flattered."

Hai Mujin said shyly.

She didn't believe that Ying Yufu was trying to curry favor with her because of the Crown Prince.

With Princess Anguo's abilities, there is absolutely no need for her to deliberately try to please her.

Ying Yufu smiled and said, "Actually, I should have sent this dowry to you earlier. I have been very busy lately. I originally planned to give it to you after your wedding and at the same time as the wedding ceremony."

But today is a good day; Huabaoge just received new stock, so I couldn't wait to bring it to you."

Hai Mujin didn't have many close female friends. Ying Yufu met her halfway through her life, but she liked her very much.

She said, "Fu'er treats me with such sincerity, and I will certainly not let Fu'er down in the future."

"Of course, of course," Ying Yufu said with a smile.

As she spoke, she glanced up at the doorway.

Hai Mujin followed Ying Yufu's gaze, a hint of wariness flashing in her eyes.

"Mu Jin greets Princess Qinjiang and Madam Jiang."

Ying Yufu is the Princess of Anguo. Although she is a princess, the name Anguo carries great weight, and because of her status as a goddess, she does not need to perform the grand ceremony when she meets a prince.

Therefore, Ying Yufu simply gave a slight curtsy and greeted Princess Qinjiang.

As for Madam Jiang, she had to bow to Ying Yufu instead.

After the two groups greeted each other, Prince Qinjiang looked Hai Mujin up and down and said, "Sister-in-law, look, Mujin has truly grown into a graceful young lady. Wearing this phoenix coronet and wedding gown, she looks even more outstanding and as beautiful as a fairy."

Although she was praising him, her eyes, which looked at him like he was appraising merchandise, seemed to be evaluating and criticizing something, making Hai Mujin feel uncomfortable.

Madam Jiang also scrutinized Hai Mujin, becoming more and more satisfied with her, and a hint of genuine joy appeared in her eyes.

"Yes, Mu Jin is indeed worthy of the Hai family bloodline. She is beautiful and well-mannered. Any family that can get such a good wife is truly blessed."

Princess Qinjiang glanced at Madam Jiang with a smile, and Madam Jiang's expression immediately turned awkward.

Princess Qinjiang then said, "What my sister-in-law says is very true."

Hai Mujin's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, her unease intensifying.

She naturally knew that this Princess Qinjiang was domineering and had bullied her mother since childhood.

It's impossible that the other party came to congratulate her out of kindness.

Ying Yufu then smiled and said, "Young Master Feng is indeed blessed to marry such a wonderful girl as Sister Mu Jin. They are a match made in heaven. Princess Qinjiang, Madam Jiang, what do you say?"

Madam Jiang's smile froze instantly. She gave a dry laugh and looked at Princess Qinjiang.

Princess Qinjiang's smile faded slightly as she said, "Mingzhu, Yujun, didn't you prepare dowry gifts for Mujin? Why don't you bring them out quickly?"

Jiang Yujun pursed her lips, her gaze sweeping over the shimmering peacock feather satin placed to the side and the exquisite and luxurious seven-colored gemstone headdress.

She hadn't looked closely from a distance before, but now that she was up close, she could see that each of the seven-colored gemstones on the headdress was the size of a pigeon's egg, and each one was of excellent quality, unlike anything she had ever seen before.

A hint of jealousy flashed in Jiang Yujun's eyes.

She had been comparing herself to Hai Mujin since childhood, but she could never surpass him in anything.

Now, they've even become bloodshot.

She slammed the brocade box on the table and said, "Cousin Jin, this is my dowry gift for you. It's not as valuable as Princess Anguo's, so please don't look down on it."

Hai Mu's maid looked rather grim. She opened the brocade box, inside which was a set of red gold jewelry inlaid with pearls.

Although they are good items, they are not rare; they can be found everywhere in jewelry shops on the street, and the styles are not new.

Judging by its condition, it's an old item.

Hai Mujin's expression turned pale, and she didn't open the bottle.

The maid put it down again, showing no intention of putting it away.

Jiang Yujun's face immediately darkened.

At this moment, Cang Mingzhu also took out the gift she had prepared, which was a set of red jade coral necklaces.

It is exquisitely crafted and has a novel design.

A look of surprise flashed across Hai Mujin's eyes.

Princess Qinjiang frowned and said, "Mingzhu, isn't this your favorite necklace? Why did you take it out?"

Cang Mingzhu smiled and said, "Yes, it's precisely because it's my favorite that I brought it out to add to Cousin Mu Jin's dowry."

"Thank you for your kindness, Princess Mingzhu, but this is your favorite item, and I cannot take it away from you. I appreciate your sentiment, but you should take it back."

Unsure of the princess's intentions, Hai Mujin refused.

She didn't want to have anything to do with Princess Qinjiang's children.

Deep down, I didn't want to accept her gift either.

Upon hearing her refusal, Cang Mingzhu's expression tightened immediately, and she secretly glanced in Ying Yufu's direction.

Her attempt to ingratiate herself was already quite obvious, but if Hai Mujin didn't reciprocate, then she couldn't be blamed.

Princess Anguo and the Crown Prince must not target her when the time comes.

She and her brother were escorted by the Crown Prince from Yunzhou to Nanman, and then back from Nanman to Anzhou. They were terrified of the Crown Prince and Princess Anguo.

They didn't want to upset them at all.

Knowing that Hai Mujin had a good relationship with the Crown Prince and Ying Yufu, she reluctantly took out this gift.

Ying Yufu seemed to notice Cang Mingzhu's gaze. She chuckled softly and said, "Sister Mu Jin, Princess Mingzhu means well. Why don't you accept it?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Hai Mujin's eyes. Naturally, she wouldn't go against Ying Yufu's wishes, so she smiled and thanked Cang Mingzhu, accepting the red coral necklace.

Compared to this, Jiang Yujun's gift was truly shabby.

Hai Mujin glanced at it indifferently and told her maid to put it away as well.

Jiang Yujun looked very unwell.

"The auspicious time is approaching, Princess Anguo. Mu Jin and I have a few private words to say to each other."

Princess Qinjiang said.

Ying Yufu looked up at Princess Qinjiang with a half-smile, showing no intention of leaving.

Princess Qinjiang frowned immediately, "Princess Anguo..."

"Alright, I'll go outside and take a look." Ying Yufu got up and left.

"Host, they're about to make their move." Xiao Dian's tone was excited, with a hint of anticipation.

Ying Yufu's expression turned cold. "I've truly broadened my horizons; this Princess Qinjiang is quite an eye-opener."

Early in the morning, while she was still asleep, she heard a system notification telling her to save Hai Mujin.

[Ding! The Face-Slapping System has been triggered. Host, please immediately go to the Hai family and save Hai Mujin from her desperate situation.]
