Being a princess in a world with more men than women

Chapter 401: Large-scale Marriage Proposal

"Actually, in addition to congratulating the leader and his wife today, there is one more thing I would like to ask the leader for his approval." Pei Tuo looked at Ouyang Xingchen eagerly.

Ouyang Xingchen tightened his grip on the wine glass. Is this fox finally willing to reveal its true colors?

Although Ouyang Xingchen was unhappy, he still had a faint smile on his face and said calmly: "Master Pei, please go ahead."

Pei Tuo bowed to Ouyang Xingchen with a sincere look on his face, and slowly said: "Alliance leader, there is a saying since ancient times that 'a beautiful lady is a good match for a gentleman'.

A woman like Madam, who is well-educated, well-mannered, and beautiful, really makes us admire her and yearn for her! I wonder if I have the honor to accompany Madam with the leader? I hope the leader can make it happen! "

"We are the same. We hope the leader can help us!" The others also clasped their fists and bowed.

Pei Tuo and the men beside him knew in their hearts that if they wanted to successfully marry Xu Yuexi, they had to get the approval of their master Ouyang Xingchen. After all, the master was in charge of the woman's backyard.

As for women, it was much easier. They were all vain, and as long as they said something nice and gave a generous dowry, they would naturally agree to marry.

Ouyang Xingchen's eyes flashed with an imperceptible coldness. He gently put down the wine glass in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Master Pei must have misunderstood. The matter of marrying a husband and taking a maid is usually the responsibility of the master. I am only the concubine of the wife and cannot make the decision.

Besides, my wife is here. Since you are interested in her, why don't you ask her for her opinion? After all, even if you are the master, you have to act according to her wishes. "

He wants to get married, but instead of asking his wife, he asks him. He is so disrespectful to his wife, yet he still wants to marry her. It's a joke!

When Pei Tuo and the others heard that Ouyang Xingchen was not the lord, their faces changed slightly.

What kind of identity is this leader's wife, who can make the leader willing to be a concubine? Isn't she just an orphan?

With the status and position of the leader, they can only be the side king, so...

Pei Tuo quickly adjusted his expression, raised the corners of his mouth, and revealed a slightly apologetic smile, "Don't blame me, leader. It's my fault. I didn't understand the matter clearly."

After saying that, Pei Tuo slowly turned around, faced Xu Yuexi, clasped his hands together, bowed respectfully, and said earnestly:

"Madam, you are as beautiful as a fairy from heaven. From the moment I saw you, I couldn't help but fall in love with you. I don't ask for a name, I just hope that Madam can give me a chance to accompany you and be your favorite and your sweetheart."

"Yes, yes, please give us a chance, ma'am." Several others echoed.

"Madam, if you are willing to marry Pei, I am willing to give you a dowry of 200,000 taels."

"I'm willing to pay two hundred and fifty thousand taels."

"I'll pay three hundred thousand taels"

"..."

"If you can marry my wife with a large dowry, then I am willing to pay 600,000 taels as a dowry."

"I'll pay seven hundred thousand taels."

"800,000 taels"

"..."

Most of the guests who came to this dinner were martial artists. When Pei Tuo led a few friends beside him to toast Xu Yuexi and Ouyang Xingchen, the originally noisy scene gradually quieted down.

Everyone focused their attention on Pei Tuo and the others, and pricked up their ears for fear of missing their conversation.

When they heard Pei Tuo and the others confessing their love to Xu Yuexi, one after another, their hearts were moved. After all, they were men, and who didn't want to get married and have children?

Who could sit still when they heard about the dowry? They gathered towards Xu Yuexi, and everyone rushed to report the number, fearing that they would be suppressed by others.

One said, "In addition to silver, I can give a dowry of ten boxes of gold and silver jewelry", and the other immediately shouted, "I can give a dowry of a hundred pieces of silk and satin". As soon as someone on this side shouted, "Add a hundred acres of land as a dowry", there was an even louder response from the other side, "Add twenty shops as a dowry".

Everyone was vying with each other, and one after another loudly announced the amount of dowry they had prepared, as if this was not just a contest of wealth, but also a symbol of honor and status.

Qing Moyan regretted it very much at this moment. He shouldn't have been so anxious just now. It would have been great if he could wait until now!

Xu Yuexi's mood had been bad since Pei Tuo and the others confessed their love to her. These people treated her like a fool, using sweet words to deceive her, which sounded so exaggerated and fake.

Xu Yuexi felt even worse when she heard the men actively reporting the amount of their dowries. She hadn't even said a word yet, and these people were already acting it out? Wanting to show off their "abundant" financial resources in front of her?

It’s a pity that their dowries were so insignificant compared to Ouyang Xingchen’s astonishingly generous dowry that she didn’t even look down on them.

At this moment, she really regretted that she should not have come to this dinner. So when a man continued to count loudly, Xu Yuexi said:

"Stop! Please stop reporting. I don't want to know how much dowry you have, and I'm not interested in it, because no matter how much dowry you offer, I will not marry you. I'm not feeling well, so I'll leave now. Xingchen, I'm tired, please help me back to my room."

"Yes, my wife, come, I will carry you back."

Ouyang Xingchen bent down, picked up Xu Yuexi, turned and left, leaving everyone looking at each other in confusion.
