Zhao Zhongyu unfolded the two rolls of silk and examined them. There was a huge difference; Third Sister Zhao's dowry was nearly five times that of Zhao Erlang's betrothal gifts.
Of course, he didn't think his elder brother favored daughters over sons. He stared at the list of dowries, noticing some books and paintings—these were family heirlooms. Clearly, his elder brother still didn't trust him, so he wanted to reasonably transfer these items out of the Zhao Family, intending to return them to Zhao Erlang through the hand of the married Third Sister Zhao.
But how could he be certain that the Fu Family would return the items once they got them?
If the Fu Family reneged, would Third Sister Zhao really send the dowry back to her natal family?
Zhao Zhongyu pondered, "Elder brother, isn't Erlang's betrothal gift too meager?"
