Chapter 574: Nine Hundred Ninety-Nine Betrothal Gifts
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Wang Wenzhuo, the patriarch of the Wang family and Feng Tianlan’s maternal grandfather, had been living in seclusion for many years. He was once a prominent figure, and even though the current head of the Wang family is Wang Haoqing, no one has forgotten Wang Wenzhuo.
He was a dazzling and transcendent figure in his time, with unparalleled status. A single word from him held more weight than ten statements from the current head of the Wang family.
However, since his seclusion, even Wang Haoqing, his son who was the current head of the family, found it difficult to meet him.
The last time Yu Huarong saw her maternal grandfather was ten years ago.
She could never have imagined that her cousin would actually invite him here!
If it weren’t for the presence of the elders, she could have used this opportunity to mock Gu Qingluan.
Now that her maternal grandfather had arrived, this marriage could be said to have the approval of the elders, and it could no longer be used as an excuse for her to verbally attack Gu Qingluan.
Why did her maternal grandfather come?
Did he think that woman is worthy of her cousin?
She almost bit her teeth to pieces, a mixture of envy and hatred in her eyes.
She never expected that her cousin would go so far as to summon their grandfather for Gu Qingluan!
Through the introductions, the onlookers and neighbors around them also learned about Wang Wenzhuo’s identity, causing a stir.
“It turns out he’s the patriarch of the Wang family from the Holy Capital! Royal Prince Lan’s maternal grandfather! It seems that Royal Prince Lan really cares about the Guardian Princess!”
“Who wouldn’t love a woman like the Guardian Princess? If Royal Prince Lan were to look down on her, I doubt the Guardian Princess would marry him.”
“That’s true. The Guardian Princess deserves the best. Royal Prince Lan is reasonable; if he dares to neglect the Guardian Princess, there will be plenty of people lining up to marry her!”
At a wedding, the presence of elders makes a huge difference.
Throughout history, important marriages have always been arranged by parents and matchmakers. Having the blessings of the elders makes it perfect.
As for the Gu family behind Gu Qingluan, it’s best not to mention them. They almost reached the point of life and death, and even if they offer their blessings, it’s probably not sincere.
Royal Prince Lan’s family was far away in the Holy Capital, but they chose to hold the wedding in Tianjing. People couldn’t help but wonder if there might be some disagreement from the Holy Capital side.
This marriage extended across two countries, and for the people of Tianjing, they saw themselves as the Guardian Princess’s extended family. They felt even happier when they saw how much the groom valued her.
Now that they saw the patriarch of the Wang family personally bringing gifts for the engagement, they felt reassured.
Boxes of hefty betrothal gifts were carried to the open space in front of the Jun residence. Onlookers outside the gate watched in amazement as the last box was carried in. “I just counted, and there are a whopping nine hundred and ninety-nine boxes! What a lavish display!”
Considering Royal Prince Lan’s status, sending so many betrothal gifts, they shouldn’t be surprised.
But they couldn’t help but admit – it’s impressive!
A servant stood at the gate, reciting the long list of gifts on the scroll in his hand, including jewelry, precious artworks, ninth-grade spiritual pills and artifacts, even sacred-grade elixirs and artifacts, as well as many rare treasures, such as herbs and minerals. As he continued to list them, the onlookers’ eyes nearly fell out of their sockets.
It was incredibly generous!
“I’ve lived for most of my life and have never heard of such an extravagant betrothal gift.”
“It’s not just the quantity, it’s the extraordinary value of these gifts! Any one of them is priceless. When you add them all up, you could buy a country!”
People were in awe.
If Feng Tianlan’s identity hadn’t been revealed, they might have doubted the authenticity of the betrothal gifts.
But now that they know he’s Royal Prince Lan of the Holy Heaven Dynasty, there’s no possibility of forgery in this gift list.
“I’m afraid no one else can receive such a massive betrothal gift when they get married.”
After all, how many people in the world are as rich and devoted to their bride as Royal Prince Lan?
The Guardian Princess was truly so lucky to have found a man who loved her so much!
Everyone’s faces were radiant, their eyes shining with delight as they rejoiced for her.
Gu Qin’er and Gu Si’er stood in the crowd, filled with intense envy.
Especially Gu Si’er, her heart burned with jealousy, feeling incredibly sour.
“Gu Qingluan is so lucky. Not only did she transform from a waste into a cultivation genius, but she even turned her past mistakes into something good, marrying someone as exceptional as Royal Prince Lan!”
Gu Qin’er whispered, “Please, say less. Big sister is no longer the same as before. If you can’t control your mouth, you’ll only bring trouble upon yourself.”
Gu Si’er rolled her eyes at her. “I don’t need you to control me!”
Since the Gu family’s old master gave the wedding invitation to Gu Qin’er, she hadn’t shown a friendly face to her own sister from the same mother.
During this time, she had tried various means but couldn’t obtain a wedding invitation. She thought that with the plague raging, Gu Qingluan’s grand wedding ceremony would be canceled. She secretly rejoiced, but to her surprise, the plague was resolved, and Gu Qingluan’s wedding went ahead as planned.
Gu Si’er, who couldn’t see any humor in the situation, was now boiling with anger.
Just then, someone bumped into her.
Gu Si’er was already furious, and she immediately reached out and grabbed the person who had bumped into her and tried to flee. “Are you blind? Do you know who 1 am? How dare you bump into me!”
The other person turned back, gave her a cold glance, and with a flick of the wrist, pushed her away.. “Get lost!”
