Chapter 393: Talking About Betrothal Gifts
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
However, Madam Huang did not dare to say anything openly.
She could only feel anxious in her heart.
As the four of them were talking, Chu Qingxiang finished brewing tea and pushed the door open.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was not bad, she smiled sincerely.
“Aunt, have some tea.” Chu Qingxiang politely served tea to Madam Huang.
When it was Song Lu’s turn, her face turned red and she quickly served him tea. The two of them looked at each other.
Chu Qingxiang blushed even more when she saw Song Lu’s smiling expression. She quickly looked away.
Song Lu had Chu Qingxiang in his heart. This girl was very honest with him. Moreover, she was capable, genuine, and intelligent.
He knew that his family was large, so it was complicated. However, with
Qingxiang’s ability, she would definitely be able to solve these problems.
Madam Zhang looked at their actions and could not stop smiling.
Madam Huang was not in such a good mood.
When she heard that Song Lu had taken the initiative to mention it, she was not satisfied.
Although she also liked her eldest son, she still had other children. Naturally, she could not use up all her assets for her eldest son’s marrige.
Moreover, the Chu family was already richer than the Song family. If they asked for too much…
Madam Huang rubbed her hands anxiously, afraid that she could not satisfy what Madam Zhang requested. She would lose face in front of the other party.
Chu Qingxiang walked away after pouring the tea and did not stay any longer.
Although Madam Liu could see that Madam Huang was nervous, she did not comfort her.
After all, if the wedding date was brought forward, her granddaughter would be at a disadvantage.
They were not married yet. If she did not support her granddaughter, she would probably suffer when she married in the future.
After Chu Qingxiang left, Madam Zhang picked up her teacup and smiled, “Sister Huang, drink some tea, drink some tea.”
Madam Huang picked up her teacup and took a sip. She looked at Song Lu several times and wanted to say something, but she could not find the opportunity because Madam Zhang had asked her to eat.
She could not even focus on the tea
“Cough, cough, Sister Huang, since you’re here today to discuss the betrothal gifts, I won’t waste your time. I’ll get straight to the point.”
Madam Huang forced a smile. What did she mean by wasting her time? It was obvious that she could not wait to get more benefits.
Madam Zhang was very happy. She was originally angry when she heard that the Song family had brought forward the marriage. Now that Song Lu had casually made a request, she should take this opportunity to fight for more betrothal gifts for her daughter.
“I wonder what about the betrothal gift do you want to discuss, Sister Huang?” Madam Zhang asked directly.
Although Madam Huang felt a little uncomfortable, Madam Liu, who had been sitting steadily beside her, made her unable to be tough.
This person also had a scholar son who was not inferior to her son.
“This is the gift list.” Seeing Madam Huang nod, Song Lu took out the list of betrothal gifts that he had written.
Madam Zhang took it over and saw the words:
