Lu Mingyu's face immediately darkened. He raised his head to look at Li Xiu Ning and said with a serious expression.
"Didn't we agree on 100,000 yuan?
Why did he ask for another 100,000 strings now?”
Li Xiuning felt that she had let Lu Mingyu down, but she had no choice but to follow her mother's words.
"My second brother Shimin is going to marry the daughter of the Zhangsun family.
The other party wanted to add 100,000 strings to the betrothal gift, so he had no choice!
I hope you can understand my difficulties…"
Lu Mingyu felt that it was very strange. The young lady of the Zhangsun family was Zhangsun Wugou, and he had always been in contact with her.
He knew Zhangsun Wugou very well. Although she was also a noble lady, she was not a greedy person!
Moreover, Zhangsun Wugou and his elder brother Zhangsun Wuji were chased out of their home by their half-brother Zhangsun Anshi and sought refuge with Uncle Gao Shilian.
Uncle Gao Shilian was just like his name. He was a very honest gentleman and did not covet betrothal gifts!
I heard that a betrothal gift of 10,000 yuan is enough. Why would he suddenly ask for so much?
Lu Mingyu looked at Fairy Dou coldly.
"Auntie, to be honest, 200,000 strings of silver is all I have.
You all take it all, that's not right!”
Dou Xianniang's cold and dignified face turned even colder.
"Unreasonable? How was it inappropriate?
Didn't I tell you just now?
My daughter Xiu Ning is one of the best women in Chang 'an in terms of family background, character, and talent.
There were countless descendants of powerful families who wanted to marry her!
You're just a down-and-out son. You don't have the right to marry my daughter.
Asking you 200,000 strings is already giving you a chance. Don't be ungrateful!
Moreover, you didn't just take this 200,000 yuan for free. It's for your brother-in-law Shimin's future wife.
As Shimin's brother-in-law, it's only right for you to help…"
"But in the past five years, I've already given you more than 100,000 yuan." Lu Mingyu frowned and asked.
Adding on the 100,000 strings that he was supposed to give, there were already 200,000 strings. It was enough!”
Dou Xianniang pretended not to know.
"What is it? He has already given us hundreds of thousands of strings? Why didn't I know about it?"
Lu Mingyu knew that this woman would go back on her words. She was born into a noble family and looked so dignified and beautiful!
"All these years, my brother-in-law, Li Jiancheng, my second brother-in-law, Li Shimin, and my third brother-in-law, Li Yuanji…
They ate, drank, and had fun. They bought fine horses, weapons, and armor. They would ask me for money whenever they wanted!
Also, I'm the one who's paying for the money to be dedicated to Fourth Brother-in-law Li Yuanba's master, Immortal Zi Yang…"
Hearing Lu Mingyu's words, a strange expression flashed across Fairy Dou's face!
As Li Shi Min's men, they didn't need to ask Lu Mingyu for money. It was Li Shi Min who didn't like Lu Mingyu.
However, it would affect the reputation of the Li family, so it was not convenient for them to take the initiative to cancel Lu Mingyu and Li Xiuning's engagement.
Therefore, Li Shiming encouraged the rest of the family to freeload on Lu Mingyu's food and drink, buying all kinds of luxury goods of this era, such as famous horses, famous paintings, name cards...
Li Shimin had spent 20,000 yuan on Lu Mingyu just to buy an authentic calligraphy piece by Wang Xizhi!
Li Shimin's original intention was to force Lu Mingyu to take it and take the initiative to cancel the engagement.
In this way, Li Xiu Ning could marry Chai Shao, whom she had a good relationship with!
However, she did not expect Lu Mingyu to really love Li Xiuning and actually endure it until now!
"Although the money isn't registered, everyone knows about it," Lu Mingyu couldn't help but say.
Not long ago, Li Shimin bought an authentic work of Wang Xizhi, which cost me 20,000 yuan…
I didn't expect that Li Shi Min would ask me to pay for his marriage, so I might as well help him get married!”
Li Shi Min's face darkened as he walked forward and said coldly.
"Lu Mingyu! Listen to what you're saying. With your background, you should be qualified to marry my sister.
Otherwise, how could you defeat Chai clan young master?”
"Shimin is right," said Dou Xianniang.
If it weren't for your generosity in the past, how could our family have given you the chance to marry Xiu Ning?”
At this moment, Lu Mingyu's heart was as cold as ice!
He finally realized that the Li family had never taken a fancy to him and had treated him as a sucker for money!
In the past, he had spent hundreds of thousands of strings, but not only did he not thank him, he even felt that he should pay for it!
If they hadn't spent hundreds of thousands of yuan on him so brazenly in the past, affecting his business layout, he would have earned even more!
Now, they actually wanted him to take out another 100,000 strings, a total of 200,000 strings of betrothal gifts, for Li Shiming to marry Zhangsun Wugou!
200,000 yuan was equivalent to 1.4 billion yuan in the future. It could completely equip a very elite army!
