The Divine Horse Family has no backing; it's all just a facade. Look at their betrothal gifts, the dazzling jewelry and porcelain that can blind your eyes.
Well, it really depends on this friend.
In the next room, a man in his forties scoffed, a disdainful smile curling at the corners of his mouth. "Just a child's play, merely to attract attention." With that, he flicked his sleeve and left.
However, his heart was filled with rage, clenching his teeth in anger. "Alright, Yang Yichen, you have your ways!" He thought to himself. If you look down on my daughter Liang Yujing, I wonder what you find so appealing about this.
Jealousy was predominant; if Yang Yichen were to marry Liang Shuer, then all these precious items would belong to him. Now, he could only watch as things that should have been his fell into someone else's hands. How could he be happy about that?
Indeed, there are always people who hold themselves in high regard, believing that everything and everyone should revolve around them. Liang Yujing was clearly one of them.
Yang Yichen probably didn't even know who Liang Shuer was; they had no connection at all. Even if they did, why should someone else's possessions be labeled as his? Such a person is truly shameless.
Watching Liang Yujing storm out in anger, the others in the room sneered. "Isn't he just envious of their betrothal gifts? He really thinks he's something special."
"With that kind of frivolous daughter who keeps men around, who would want her? Whoever takes her is just asking to wear a green hat."
These people merely pretended to have a good relationship with Liang Yujing; in reality, none of them respected him. They were secretly delighted to see him humiliated and were content as long as they didn't gloat in front of him.
In just a short while, the betrothal gifts that followed were even more dazzling and eye-opening.
The betrothal gifts from the capital's one hundred twenty-eight carriages couldn't compare to the shock brought by Yang Yichen.
Indeed, all the exquisite jade and porcelain here were sourced from Inorganic Gate—something even century-old prestigious families lacked.
This shows Yang Yichen's deep love for Liu Qingxi; he wished to give her all the beauty in the world.
The procession of betrothal gifts wound around Azure Dragon Street, crossing half of the capital before entering Maple Lane. Now, the gifts filled an entire street.
Villagers from Ten Li Pu had never seen such a spectacle. Who had witnessed such grand betrothal gifts? Who had seen those exquisite delicacies? Oh well, they didn't understand porcelain or anything like that; they just thought everything looked wonderful.
"Qingxi is so lucky; Lord Yang seems to treat you really well. With these gifts displayed, let's see who dares to look at you," Liu said proudly, not realizing she sounded like she was receiving the gifts herself.
"Back then, it was clear that Qingxi and Lord Yang were meant for each other. We were worried when you both came to the capital; now we can finally relax."
"Our family’s Qingxi is truly blessed. The hardships we faced before have paved the way for the good days we have now, and it was all worth it," Zhang said lovingly as she looked at Liu Qingxi, who was as radiant as a peach blossom, much like she would look at her own daughter, Liu Qingju.
Then, as the closest elder related to Liu Qingxi by blood, Zhang began to share a series of important things for her to pay attention to after marriage, and one by one, she presented Liu Qingxi with her wedding gifts.
"Qingxi, compared to the betrothal gifts from Lord Yang, ours may not be worth much; please don’t mind."
"Thank you, Aunt. I really like them," Liu Qingxi replied. She understood that although these gifts might not be priceless, they were the best that each person could afford.
True feelings are priceless! She received the most sincere blessings, and that was enough.
"Alright, alright, we won’t take up too much time. Qingxi, you girls catch up," Zhang and a few other women voluntarily stepped aside to make room for Liu Qingju and Liu Qinglian.
After being apart for more than half a year, these close friends had undergone significant changes. For instance, since following Liu Qingxi to learn new skills, Liu Qinglian's determination was no less than that of any boy, and she displayed unique talent.
Later on, to understand customer needs better, she spent several days in the shop conducting personal investigations. At night, she would go home and draw plans. Now, as long as the task wasn't particularly difficult, Liu Qinglian could handle it all on her own.
Over the years, she had grown considerably; from being an ordinary farmer girl to becoming a woman capable of standing on her own.
Time had softened her edges but also shaped a brand new person. The current Liu Qinglian stood confidently like a shining star; even in simple clothing, she radiated brilliance.
Now, who in Ten Li Pu wouldn’t envy Zhang Quanyong for finding such an excellent girl? Not only is she capable but also sensible; it’s a pity they didn’t act first.
Looking back now, what if Liu Qinglian has no brothers? What if she has to support her parents in the future? With her current abilities, money is hardly an issue.
Moreover, Liu Laowu and Zhao had their child late in life; they are not without heirs.
Unfortunately, no one else shared their foresight. Thankfully, while everyone envied them, they would never do anything excessive.
As for Liu Qingju, compared to Liu Qinglian's pridefulness, she exuded a calmness that felt like spring sunshine. Her eyes were sharp but not blind; she didn’t follow the same path as Liu Qinglian but excelled in another field.
While Liu Qinglian was interested in technical skills, Liu Qingju preferred going out to negotiate business deals and felt a sense of accomplishment when securing projects.
In the past two years, she learned a lot from Zhang Wuliang and grew increasingly fond of this strong woman persona.
With the exception of Liu Qingxi, there wasn't much opposition when Liu Qingju engaged in such business activities; people around them had gradually begun to accept the idea that women could also be powerful.
Understanding this, Liu Qingxi felt pleased, as she had grown fond of her two younger cousins.
"Second Sister, this is a wedding gift for you." Liu Qinglian took out a handmade rabbit she had crafted herself, which was quite adorable, lively and realistic in appearance.
No girl could resist such cute things, and Liu Qingxi was instantly captivated.
Liu Qinglian thought that since Liu Qingxi lacked nothing, it would be better to give her something handmade.
Sure enough, Liu Qingxi cherished it dearly and was already thinking about where to place it.
"Thank you, I really like it."
Liu Qingju also presented her own gift to Liu Qingxi, a small addition to her bridal trousseau. Although it wasn't valuable, it was heartfelt.
At that moment, nothing felt more loving than something made by hand; Liu Qingxi couldn't decide what was better.
To be honest, at her age, aside from receiving gifts from Yang Yichen, this was the first time she had received something handmade from someone else, and it truly touched her.
Next came Zhang Hongling and a few other girls who had come to the capital with their parents to present their gifts. Liu Qingxi thanked each of them one by one and carefully placed their gifts into an exquisite box for safekeeping.
