Chapter 1058: Chapter 1058: Dowry

In this way, Wu Nuan became quite remarkable in the eyes of the Female Troops.

Originally, Lady Lin was somewhat disapproving; after all, marrying to ward off bad luck sounded like sheer superstition, didn’t it? If someone is sick, they should seek treatment. What miraculous effect could this bad-luck warding possibly bring?

However, Mr. Dan He shook his head and said he couldn’t guarantee anything either, which is why he suggested Wu Nuan marrying might increase their chances.

Lady Lin raised her eyebrows high, pondering if this even made sense.

She wanted to find Bai Junjun, but instead, she heard Mr. Dan He’s somewhat smug response, "This idea was actually Bai Junjun’s suggestion."

Lady Lin suddenly went quiet, then glanced at Wu Nuan, seriously patting Wu Nuan’s shoulder: "Since Junjun said so, there must be a good reason behind it. In short, you and Ah Dao are quite a match. I hope you two will stay bonded for life and grow old together!"

Wu Nuan simply nodded calmly to express her gratitude.

Compared to the composed Wu Nuan, Mr. Dan He seemed rather indignant, "Why is it that you doubt everything I say yet have no objections when Junjun Girl says something? For the record, I’m still her mentor—isn’t your perception of the hierarchy mixed up?"

"Ahem." Lady Lin coughed awkwardly, thinking to herself: Well, she’s a powerhouse with Special Ability. If a powerhouse says there’s no solution, then there’s no solution. Plus, her arrangements surely have some meaning behind them. Regardless, she still tried to humor—or rather, comfort—Mr. Dan He: "It’s just coincidence. Truth be told, I’m only concerned about Ah Nuan and was worried she might feel unwilling."

Wu Nuan slightly curled her lips, "Don’t worry, I’m genuinely willing."

Upon hearing this, Lady Lin finally sensed something fishy. Come to think of it, she’d always felt like there was some unspoken connection going on with them. Could it be that Bai Junjun was scheming to match them up?

Just as she was speculating, the mastermind herself happily trotted back.

At that moment, Bai Junjun had just returned from the field, still brimming with excitement. Seeing everyone gathered, she cheerily waved her hand, "Fantastic, you’re all here! Come on, I’ve got something good for you."

She then tossed a bundle over to Wu Nuan.

"What is this?" Wu Nuan looked a bit surprised.

"It’s the dowry from Ah Dao for you. Now that he’s sick, it’s up to us, the family of the groom, to personally hand it over to you. From here on out, you officially become part of our big family. Ah Dao has many little ones under his wing, and they’ll all need to rely on you to care for them."

Wu Nuan hadn’t expected Bai Junjun to say something like this, and to be honest, she couldn’t deny feeling touched deep in her heart.

Meanwhile, Lady Lin, curious about what Bai Junjun had given, urged Wu Nuan to quickly open it and take a look.

Upon hearing this, Wu Nuan slowly opened the bag and was stunned by the jewelry inside. There were numerous gold hairpins and jade bracelets, their intricate carvings and designs leaving one speechless with admiration.

"Oh my gosh, this is from a wealthy family!" Lady Lin was practically drooling. These kinds of items would be classified as antiques in the modern day. They could only afford plastic or aluminum knock-offs to make do, while solid gold and pure silver pieces like these would be displayed in museums.

Bai Junjun curled her lips with a smile; these were all rewarded by Yuwen Luanfei. Half of it was now given to Wu Nuan, while the other half was saved for Sasa as her future dowry.

Wenren Pingting looked at the jewelry but didn’t recognize them as her own belongings. After all, Yuwen Luanfei’s treasury was completely his own; Wenren Pingting had never managed or even entered it. She only knew that Yuwen Luanfei had gifted Bai Junjun and Li Wenli many fine things, but as for what exactly, she was clueless.

But that hardly mattered, as wealth was merely external. The life she now had was already beyond her wildest dreams.
