Chapter 1994: Chapter 1932: Flaunting Wealth on Purpose

After resting for two days, Wufu, along with Hua Wushuang and others, returned to the Beiyan Imperial City. This journey was quite a spectacle, not just because of the people, but also due to the carriages, each guarded by at least three or four escorts.

Those carriages left deep tracks in the muddy ground, moving slowly, leaving people to wonder what might be inside them.

But it didn’t take long for people to discover what was inside, as one of the carriages suddenly collapsed with a crash during the procession, spilling its contents everywhere.

Brilliant flashes of gold dazzled the eyes.

Among the golden glow were not only gold ingots but also gold bricks. This was...

A carriage full of gold.

"What’s going on? How did the carriage collapse? Hurry and collect the load! These are the Princess Consort’s dowry!" A horseback riding overseer-like person shouted in frustration.

What?

The Princess Consort’s dowry?

The crowd fell silent, staring at the pile of gold with dazed expressions.

"Never mind about the gold, it won’t spoil if it’s smashed. Make sure to guard the ones behind well. They contain rare and precious jade ware treasures. If they’re damaged, you’ll be in trouble. Slow down the carriages!" the overseer shouted loudly again.

Buzzing voices filled the air.

"I have a relative’s relative’s relative working at Prince Jin’s Mansion. I heard the Princess Consort’s uncle came, preparing to attend the Princess Consort and Prince Jin’s grand wedding next year, and he’s escorting much of the dowry too."

"..."

These items are the dowry prepared by the Princess Consort’s biological uncle?

Dowry freshly transported from Nanyue... Dowry... Dresser!

The crowd looked over at the endless procession, unable to see the tail end. Besides carriages, some horses had boxes strapped to their backs.

This is all part of the Princess Consort’s dowry!

Before even mentioning a carriage full of gold, what about those things whose true nature was yet unknown—how much silver is this all worth?

Some wished for the subsequent carriages to collapse, so they could witness more of the spectacle.

"Why rush? We should be able to see the dowry on display during the grand wedding, right?" someone suggested.

The marriage between Prince Jin and the Princess Consort was quite unusual. Though they were already married, this grand ceremony in Beiyan was just an additional formality. So, following the tradition of the bride’s departure, the dowry must have an earlier departure too, right?

No matter if it does or not, the Princess Consort has a dowry of gold heavy enough to make carriages collapse!

Upon hearing Chi Wu’s report, Wufu’s mouth twitched slightly as she looked at Hua Wushuang: "Did you order this?"

A perfectly good carriage suddenly collapsing, crushed by weight—this was too ridiculous. No way she believed it wasn’t intentional.

This was a display of wealth to the point of being so vulgar it was turning to dust!

Hua Wushuang blinked, innocently asking: "Order what?"

Wufu rolled her eyes, her face expressing ’keep pretending’.

"The collapse of this carriage was perfectly timed. Now, the people of Beiyan know that our Changsheng’s sister has plenty of money." Hua Wushuang smiled at Xiao Changsheng in her arms, gently pinching his cheek: "What do you say, Changsheng?"

"Money, good." Xiao Changsheng grinned widely, showing his tiny white milk teeth.

Wufu extended her finger to poke his cheek, saying: "Don’t grow up to be as vulgar as someone."

"Vulgarity’s fine, having money makes you a master." Hua Wushuang hummed softly.

Wufu shook her head, about to speak, but suddenly heard the rapid sound of hooves coming from within the city. She lifted the curtain and saw Ah Jiu riding towards them, dressed in a purple robe with a Four-Clawed Coiling Dragon pattern, followed by a string of guards.
