Quick Transmigration Cannon Fodder's Record of Counterattacks Chapter 2638: You Need to Start Preparing Your Dowry

Chapter 2638: You Need to Start Preparing Your Dowry“Mm.” Lu Mingxuan’s voice choked, and tears started streaming down her face. “Thank you, Father.”

Lu Mingxuan sat down, continuously wiping her tears. This made Mistress Yun start wiping her tears as well as she thanked, “Thank you, Master.”

A fleeting expression of complexity crossed Lu Junning’s face, and her expression grew even colder.

Ning Shu swallowed the food in her mouth as she took in this scene of filial piety. She couldn’t help but find it strange no matter how she looked at it.

Lu Yuanfan looked at Lu Junning and said, “Don’t worry about the matters at home anymore.”

Lu Junning furrowed her brows and asked, “Father, why? Is there something I haven’t done properly?”

Lu Junning couldn’t understand why Lu Yuanfan would take away her authority as the manager of the household.

Lu Yuanfan put down his chopsticks and calmly said, “You need to start preparing your dowry. I’ve decided to marry you to Prince Chen.”

Shen Yichen immediately laughed and said, “Thanks for giving us your permission.”

Lu Junning’s expression changed, and she slammed her chopsticks heavily on the table. “I won’t marry.”

Upon hearing Lu Junning’s words, Shen Yichen’s facial color became a bit bad and his gaze grew slightly cold.

Seeing Shen Yichen’s displeased face, Lu Yuanfan quickly said, “If you won’t marry him, then who will you marry? Prince Chen has been staying in the Lu residence for so long, you two are always together. If you won’t marry him, then who will you marry? Let’s set a date.”

Lu Junning tightly pursed her lips and stubbornly refused to marry.

Not allowing any objections, Lu Yuanfan said, “That’s settled. You should start preparing your dowry.”

“Sit down.”

“Father, are you really going to treat me as nothing but a tool to solidify your power? If you want to use Prince Chen, you should also consider whether I’m willing to marry.” Lu Junning said coldly.

“Marriage has always been on parents’ orders with a matchmaker’s words. It’s not up to you whether you’re willing or not.” Lu Yuanfan said with a stern face, his gaze fixated on Lu Junning’s face.

He felt somewhat shocked in his heart. His daughter was so rebellious.

“I’m the one getting married, and no one can force me to marry.” Lu Junning firmly stated.

“Suit yourself. The date has been set anyway.” Lu Yuanfan said with a grim face.

The father and daughter couldn’t come to an agreement, making Shen Yichen feel a bit awkward.

In front of so many people, Lu Junning had stated that she didn’t want to marry him.

“As for the affairs at home, Mistress Liu, you’ll take care of them for the time being.” Lu Yuanfan didn’t want to argue with Lu Junning anymore.

Mistress Liu had her head lowered the entire time, not having much of a presence. When she heard this, she looked up in disbelief and said, “Master, what did you say?”

“You’ll temporarily take care of the affairs at home.”

Mistress Liu felt like a pie had suddenly fallen on her head and almost fainted. With so many people staring at her, she felt both excited and scared.

Mistress Liu couldn’t help but look at Ning Shu, who subtly shook her head.

Managing the household wasn’t an easy task, and there was nothing she could do if the subordinates didn’t listen.

Mistress Liu was a bit disappointed when she saw Ning Shu’s headshake. However, when she saw the unfriendly gazes from Mistress Yun and Lu Junning, she let go of this ambition.

Mistress Liu waved her hand hastily and said to Lu Yuanfan, “Master, I can’t do it. I’ve never managed a household before, and I don’t understand anything.”

“Take it slow, it’ll be fine,” Lu Yuanfan said.

The more Lu Yuanfan said this, the more Mistress Liu felt uneasy. “Master, I’m not capable. It’ll be very difficult for me to manage such a big household.”

Lu Yuanfan gave Mistress Liu an annoyed look and turned to Mistress Yun. “Then you’ll be in charge.”

“Thank you, Master! I will definitely manage the household well,” Mistress Yun said happily, her face glowing with joy, and her eyes filled with tenderness as she looked at Lu Yuanfan.

Lu Yuanfan didn’t even meet Mistress Yun’s gaze.

The meal ended on a sour note, and Lu Junning turned and left, leaving Lu Yuanfan with an unpleasant expression. He said to Shen Yichen, “Apologies for this embarra.s.sing scene, Your Highness. This child lost her mother at an early age and can be quite willful. I hope you can understand.”
