The Duke Mansion.
With firm assurances that her daughter would not have to marry into the Royal Family and that they would face no punishment from the court, Mrs. Xue began to openly arrange her daughter's wedding.
The dowry had long been saved up. Fearful of shortchanging her daughter, Mrs. Xue had prepared an exceptionally lavish one.
Manors, farmlands, gold, silver, jewels, fine silks and brocades, accompanying servants... She had even purchased a private residence for her in the Capital City.
Beyond that, there were also gifts from friends and relatives to add to the dowry.
Xue Xingyao was the proper, legitimate daughter of the Duke Mansion. Although Duke Xue played favorites, he would not give people a reason to gossip on this matter.
He took ancient books and famous paintings from his private collection to bolster Xue Xingyao's prestige.
The old madam also contributed a great deal.
