Chapter 402: Chapter 348: Aunt Qiu Knew She Was Up to No Good: "Tell Me Everything in Detail.

She was about to step forward when she accidentally saw Liu Shu boiling a pot of soup.

This was Cui Zhu’s favorite cured pork rib soup. When Ruan Mian first made it for Cui Zhu, she was deeply captivated and loved it immensely.

However, the method for making cured pork ribs was a bit laborious. After the flood incident, the cured ribs they had stored in the cellar had also been divided.

Could it be that Liu Shu made these especially for her?

As she was thinking, Cui Zhu walked over to Liu Shu with a tender expression. The two looked like a young couple just starting out, their eyes full of love for each other, as if the spring water was about to overflow the pond.

In another week, it would be the auspicious day for the autumn harvest. Ruan Mian thought of something and approached Cui Zhu and Liu Shu, smiling as she spoke.

"Zhu’er, in a week it will be a perfect day. Why not take advantage of the good weather and hold your joyful event with Mr. Liu, what do you think?"

Cui Zhu paused, clearly not expecting Ruan Mian to think of this.

Her cheeks flushed, and she quickly replied, "Miss! There’s no hurry for that, we’re about to get busy with the autumn planting, how can we delay?"

Ruan Mian smiled lightly, "It’s just getting married, how could that be a delay? Seeing you and Mr. Liu have a rightful place, I, as your sister, could not be happier."

"I think it’s settled. Come find me at the house later, I have something for you."

Ruan Mian didn’t give Cui Zhu a chance to speak, decisively making the decision.

Liu Shu looked exhilarated, quickly clasping his hands to thank her.

"Thank you, Miss Ruan, for fulfilling this. I will surely treat Zhu’er well, you have my word."

Cui Zhu’s face turned as red as a persimmon, watching Ruan Mian leave, she couldn’t help but gently tap Liu Shu on the shoulder, fully displaying the shy charm of a young lady.

Though she was also happy, thinking that she would soon have a family of her own and couldn’t be by Miss’s side all the time as before, made her feel a bit uneasy.

Especially when she thought of Mr. Xie’s passing.

In her view, even if Miss still had family by her side, and even if Miss never showed her sadness, Cui Zhu knew well that with Miss’s sensitive and kind nature, she must have endured a lot alone.

Once she leaves, there will be no more close maid beside Miss.

Thinking of this, Cui Zhu couldn’t sit still, and later she came as promised to find Ruan Mian at the house.

As soon as she reached the door, Ruan Mian waved her in and then, with a mysterious air, closed the door.

While Cui Zhu was still puzzled, Ruan Mian suddenly took out a large wooden box from under the bed.

When she opened the box, Cui Zhu was stunned by what was inside.

Brilliant headwear and jewelry, neatly stacked together.

In addition, the bottom of the box held many expensive and rare fabrics, as well as a thick bundle of silver notes.

"Miss, what are these things?"

Cui Zhu dared not reach out too much for fear of dirtying them.

Yet Ruan Mian only said, "These are for your dowry."

Upon hearing this, Cui Zhu’s eyes widened in disbelief, "Dowry... dowry?? Miss! Absolutely not!"

She immediately knelt in front of Ruan Mian, resolutely saying, "How can I accept such precious gifts as my dowry?"

"Moreover, I am just your maid, and have received so much kindness from you along the way, there’s no saying of a dowry!! You agreeing to my marriage with Mr. Liu is already a great blessing for me, how could I..."

"Zhu’er!" Before Cui Zhu could finish, Ruan Mian helplessly helped her up with a doting smile on her face.

"You really take my words as wind in your ears again. Haven’t I said long ago, between us, there is no master-servant relationship. We are equal now; you are my closest sister, just like Shaoxi."

"It’s been so difficult to come through hard times together to where we are now; you must not undervalue yourself. These are what you deserve, and a token of thought from me as your sister."

"Rest assured, though it may seem a lot, your elder sister can afford it. Don’t forget how many enterprises I have under my name, and how they all earn silver. In Jinsha Village, there isn’t much to spend it on, yet every day I earn more money without any issues."

"So just accept them with ease, as it is my genuine blessing for you. If you don’t accept them, it would truly sadden me."

Cui Zhu was stunned in place, her eyes welling with warmth, unable to express her state of mind with words at that moment.

Because she never thought she held such an important place in Miss’s heart.

But precisely because of this, she could not take advantage of even a bit from Miss.
