Chapter 1304: Chapter 1304: Betrothal Gifts

Hall.

The hall was filled with gift boxes wrapped in red silk, leaving hardly any room for the servants to walk.

However, everyone had joyous expressions on their faces.

The Old Madam and Situ Yongjie had smiles on their faces, chatting with Long Yi,

"General Situ, the Prince is unwell, so I have come on his behalf to propose marriage."

"It’s not an issue, the Prince’s health is most important." Situ Yongjie had seen the Prince just yesterday and naturally understood his health condition. If the Prince were well, there wouldn’t be today’s engagement ceremony.

He hadn’t forgotten that the ultimate purpose of sending his daughter to the War Prince’s Mansion was to bring joy to the Prince.

"General, we have chosen a date, three days from now is an auspicious day. We will come then to escort Miss Situ. What do you think?"

"That’s fine, everything will follow the Prince’s instructions."

At this point, with the betrothal gifts already sent by the War Prince’s Mansion and having saved Situ Zhi for a plea, there was no turning back.

"Alright, here is the Prince’s betrothal gift list, please bring out Miss Situ’s betrothal gift list as well. In the witness of the matchmaker, the engagement ceremony is considered complete."

"Alright!"

Situ Yongjie had prepared Xuexue’s betrothal gift list early in the morning, and as soon as Long Yi spoke, he immediately had the servant bring it out and handed it to the other party, thus completing the engagement ceremony in accordance with customs.

Afterwards, Long Yi took out a small notebook from his arms, preparing to hand it to Situ Yongjie, stating it was the list of betrothal gifts.

The Old Madam’s eyes sparkled as she thought, the War Prince really goes big, even marrying a concubine seemed like emptying the national treasury. Watching those gift boxes, almost covering Changan Street, the Old Madam had the urge to claim them for herself.

Indeed, though the General’s Mansion was not poor, who would complain about having too much money?

Long Yi was just about to hand the notebook to Situ Yongjie, but seeing the greedy look in the Old Madam’s eyes made him change his mind. He didn’t want the gifts, painstakingly prepared by the Prince, to be schemed away by others.

Indeed, though Situ Yongjie treated Xuexue well, he was also a famous filial son. If the Old Madam made any requests, he might not refuse.

Long Yi, being Long Rui’s capable assistant, immediately changed tack and withdrew the hand he had just extended.

The Old Madam watched eagerly, anticipating the list landing in her son’s hands, but Long Yi suddenly retracted it, making her feel a surge of disappointment.

Long Yi saw the Old Madam’s expression clearly, yet pretended to be oblivious, and said to Situ Yongjie, "General, I momentarily forgot that the Prince instructed that this list of betrothal gifts should be personally given to Miss Situ for safekeeping. It’s best to invite Miss Situ out so I can hand it to her. I need to hurry back to the War Prince’s Mansion."

"I see!"

Hearing this, Situ Yongjie was momentarily stunned but then thought, today is Xuexue’s engagement, and having her keep the list is indeed most appropriate. Hence, he instructed the servant beside him, "Please invite Miss Situ over."

"Yes!"

The servant agreed and hurried out of the hall, soon seeing Miss Situ approaching with her maid.

"Miss, the General requests your presence."

"Hmm."

Xuexue responded plainly, not pausing for a moment, heading towards the hall...

Seeing the hall full of red with betrothal gifts, Xuexue frowned slightly, thinking, Long Rui truly lives up to being the War God of Moli Country, looking at these gifts, the sheer quantity is astounding, and the value likely isn’t short. It’s just, isn’t he usually wary of the Emperor? How come at this moment, he doesn’t know how to restrain a bit?
