Chapter 2292 What Happened to the Sun Family’s Betrothal Gift?

Mrs. Jin raised her eyes to look at him and said calmly: "I didn't even know how to change my clothes when I came back from outside. They are so dusty. You are so anxious and pale, you seem to be here to question me. What happened?"

"Why did I hear outside that you got Cai Cai engaged?"

"Who did you listen to?"

"Just tell me whether this is true or false."

"This kind of thing is just something I talked about occasionally when I met some noble ladies yesterday. You didn't know where you heard a few words and came to question me." Mrs. Jin looked a little unhappy.

Jin Lan didn't expect such a thing to happen.

He suppressed his anger and said: "Mother, the palace has long said that Caicai's marriage is not decided by our family. Have you forgotten? Since the death of my grandfather, our family's status in the gentry has declined, and in the court , and it’s already very unpopular with the Emperor, so why don’t you just stop causing more trouble?”

Mrs. Jin said angrily: "As a grandmother, I want to talk about the marriage of my granddaughter. Is this called causing trouble?"

"Caicai is not an ordinary girl!"

"She is the princess, and she is also the granddaughter of the Jin family!"

"Does mother dare to say this in front of the emperor and queen?"

"...Why should I say this in front of the Emperor and the Empress?" Mrs. Jin's aura became weaker, "Why are you so anxious? I just mentioned a few things while chatting with them, but I haven't decided yet."

Jin Lan asked: "What about the Sun family's betrothal gift?"

"Bride price...how can there be such a thing?" Mrs. Jin's eyes were a little dodgey.

How could Jin Lan ignore this.

"Mother, tell me, did you really accept the betrothal gift from the Sun family?"

"No. I didn't say it was a betrothal gift." Mrs. Jin said helplessly, "On your father's birthday yesterday, many relatives and friends came to visit. The one from the Sun family came to the door with a birthday gift, so you can't kick them out?"

"A birthday gift is a birthday gift, why is it related to the betrothal gift?"

"There were many people coming and going on my birthday yesterday. Somehow, Mrs. Sun's family took a liking to Cai Cai and she liked her very much. She always said that she wanted to go back and be a daughter-in-law..."

Jin Lan had a stern face: "Who doesn't know the shameless and nasty character of that boy from the Sun family? Mother, you are really confused!"

"I didn't agree either, but Mrs. Sun kept talking about it, and she didn't know where to find out. She knew that your father loved inkstones the most, so she brought an extremely rare inkstone from his family..."

"Confused!"

Jin Lan was furious, "For just a piece of inkstone, you are going to marry Caicai to the Sun family? Not to mention how old Caicai is? You are going too far!"

"It's just a joke, it's not serious..."

"It's not a joke, not to mention you accepted a gift from the Sun family!" Jin Lan stretched out her hand, "Give me the inkstone."

"What are you going to do?"

"Give it back!"

"Why is this so?" Mrs. Jin disagreed.

Jin Lan was angry and helpless: "Does mother want to see her son completely rejected by His Majesty? From now on, no one in the family will say a word about Caicai!"

Mrs. Jin was extremely angry: "You, you...talk to your mother like this?"

Fang Ximei listened for a long time. Seeing that her mother-in-law was angry, she whispered: "Husband, don't be angry. We are children of the Jin family and our elders can't even say a word... Is it too harsh?"

"Shut up!" Jin Lan shouted.

Fang Ximei lowered her head in a hurry, not daring to say another word.

Jin Lan went to his father's study, found the expensive inkstone, rode to the Sun family, threw the inkstone to the Sun family, and warned them not to take advantage of Princess Canglan.
