Everyone in the Shen family felt as if they had been struck by a shocking lightning.
Logically speaking, the dowry had to be equivalent in value. Although it did not have to be more than the betrothal gifts, it could not be too far apart. Otherwise, when a girl went to her in-laws' house, she would be disdained. If the dowry was very generous, the girl would be respected. Therefore, the more dowry, the better.
Shen Xin naturally doted on his daughter, but as for the dowry… Prince Rui had given the Shen family so many betrothal gifts. Even if he emptied the entire Ming Qi treasury, he wouldn't be able to prepare a dowry equivalent in value.
Prince Rui gave the Shen family a problem.
…
At night, Shen Miao sat under the light and thought of Tie Yi singing happily with a long betrothal gift list in his hand during the day. She couldn't help but want to laugh.
