Chapter 7: Debt Repayment, Natural and Just

"The carriage roof crashed down onto the woman's right leg, leaving a bloody scene on the ground. Fortunately, no arteries were injured, otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.The dr...: []

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The cloud minister's angry beard shot straight up, and he slapped the table.

"Yun An'an, I reversed you!"

The Regent is here!

The sound of the doorman's report suddenly rang out.

The crowd was astonished.

How could the Regent suddenly come to the Xiangfu

Then, a crowd of servants from the Prince's Mansion streamed in, carrying boxes covered in crimson silk back and forth three or four times, almost filling the front courtyard of the Prime Minister's mansion.

Beichen Yi stood in the courtyard, tall and handsome. He wore fine silk robes and a jade crown, exuding an air of royalty that made everyone who saw him feel awestruck.

"My Lord, I do not know what this means"

Beichen Yi has been through countless battles on the battlefield and is second only to the emperor in the court.

Even though Yun Chengxiang was a prominent minister in the court, he did not dare to underestimate the man before him.

"Seeking family."

Beichen's words were concise and to the point, but his gaze inadvertently swept over Yun An'an on the steps, a certain undercurrent surging within his deep eyes.

Everything is embraced by gentleness.

Wow~

Why so sentimental

Yun'an gently rubbed her ears, turning away with an unbearable expression.

But Yun Feifei beside her eyes lit up suddenly.

Yun An'an's reputation was in ruins, she was a scorned woman, a common prostitute. If Bei Chen Yi requested her hand in marriage, then it could only be to marry her...

Although Han Qing is not bad, who is Bei Chen Yi The Regent King! A man who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the emperor!

He is far stronger than a mere warrior like Han Qing.

Moreover, Beichen Yi also sent so many dowries, which were more than ten times what Han Qing had agreed to give her!

The prime minister was dumbfounded.

"Marrying into the family, who should we ask"

He had one daughter who was a disgraced woman unfit to be seen in public, and another who was already betrothed to the Han General's family.

Beichen Yi is probably not suitable to marry anyone.

According to rumors, the two young ladies in the Xiangfu are said to be deceptively cruel despite their seemingly gentle appearances; while the other is known for her kindness and beauty, resembling an ethereal fairy...

Beichen Yi didn't continue, but the look in his eyes towards Yun Anan already spoke volumes.

It turns out he has his eyes on Yun Feifei.

Yun Chengxiang pondered.

Well, the marriage to General Han was just a verbal agreement and nothing concrete. If we were to have an alliance, marrying into the Duke's mansion would naturally be more prestigious than marrying into the General's mansion!

He smiled and beckoned to Yun Fei.

"Fifi, come here to daddy."

"Daddy～"

Yun Fei Fei shyly covered her face with a handkerchief.

"...before a daughter is married, she should not meet with men from outside the family..."

Her voice was sickly sweet, warning him not to get too close to men, yet her body moved obediently towards Bei Chen Yi.

To everyone's surprise, Beichen Yi simply walked straight past her.

Under the watchful eyes of all, the august Regent Prince was actually squatting in front of Yun An'an, adjusting her clothes!

"An An, why is your skirt so messed up Did someone make you angry and hit them Next time if you're upset, remember to call the guards to help. Don't tire yourself out."

"My lord, please stand up first."

Yun An'an tugged at her skirt and signaled with her eyes for him to stop.

Uncle, the play's over.

"Annie."

Beichen Yi was unfazed. He gently took her hand.

"As long as you are willing to marry me, Your Highness, I promise you that there will only be one Princess in the palace, and from then on, the palace will be under your command. I will never interfere with any of your decisions."

Yun'an'an wanted to find a piece of cloth to catch the goosebumps falling off her body.

The man's voice was like a babbling spring in the mountains.

"You are still young, and matters of progeny can wait. This King fully respects your opinion."

Everyone's eyes widened.

Are they crazy or is Beichen Yi crazy

Is this still the mighty, storm-commanding Regent

"An An, this is the contract I have drawn up. Today, if I break my promise to you, all of the assets of the Regent's Manor will belong to you."

Beichen Yi shoved the contract into Yun An'an's hands.

Will you marry me

"Alright then. But Your Highness, I boasted about my humble self just now so highly, it seems that Miss Yun Fei's reputation is ruined from this point forward!"

Yun'an blinked her eyes and looked at Yunfei innocently.

tsk tsk, looks weak on the outside, but ruthless inside, what a load of bull!

You, you, you're going too far! I...

Yun Fei Fei's words were cut short before she fainted.

"Daughter!"

Liu Mianmian fell on Yun Feifei, crying with a broken heart.

Now Yun Feifei's face is lost!

All Yun An'an is a little bitch, she seduced Bei Chen Yi to bully their Yun Fei Fei!

She rushed towards Yun'an again.

"You bastard, I'll kill you!"

"What a mess!"

The prime minister, his face dark with fury, ordered people to drag Liu Mianmian and Yun Feifei away.

Beichen Yi doesn't marry Yun Feifei, but he keeps glancing over to her side for no reason.

Even if the Duke Regent wanted to marry Yun An'an into the family, there's no way he could elevate her status by stepping on Yun Feifei's face!

He bowed to Beichen Yi.

"My lord, this marriage is not appropriate. Please reconsider!"

"Your Prime Minister, are you going to make the decision for me"

Beichen Yi's bearing was imposing, and his royal aura was palpable. Yun, the Prime Minister, was so shaken that his body stiffened.

"This official dares not."

"Tomorrow is a auspicious day, suitable for a grand wedding. Tomorrow, the prince will come to marry Yun An'an into the palace."

Beichen Yi held Yun An'an's hand and announced in a resounding voice.

No one dared to question his decision.

The marriage was settled, it was night.

The prime minister Yun tossed a small wooden box to Yun An'an.

"Since you're now married, this dowry is from your mother. Take it."

The small box was light as a feather, containing only two silver hairpins, the kind even the servants wouldn't bother wearing.

Yunan An an smirked, clutching the box in her hand.

"Father, if I remember correctly, Mother left behind quite a few good things."

"Two silver hairpins, huh Are you sending them to beggars"

In my memory, the original owner's mother left behind a lot of things, especially some antiques from the previous dynasty. Just taking out one piece could buy ten mansions belonging to the prime minister's residence!

Unfortunately, the original owner's father was unreliable. He squandered the dowry his mother received on favors in the officialdom, leaving very little behind.

She, Yun Anan, insists on making the scum father spit out what he's eaten!

"Yun'ya, whatever your parents give you is out of love. How can you despise the dowry that your grandfather has given you"

Aunt Liu was so angry during the day that her temples were plastered with medicinal plasters, and she spoke to him earnestly and pitifully.

"You also know, your father, he doesn't have it easy..."

Slap!

Yunan An angrily slammed the box to the ground, startling Madam Liu so badly that she trembled all over.

She narrowed her eyes, a half-smile playing on her lips as she gazed at Lord Yun.

"Dad, it's hard to say, but Mom has it the hardest!"

"You favor your concubine and ruin my wife, seizing my mother's dowry. If this gets out, I see you as the prime minister won't be able to keep that position!"

"Tomorrow I'm getting married! You must give me my dowry according to this ledger! Otherwise, we'll go to the magistrate's office and complain!"

A ledger was smashed in front of Yun Xiang's eyes, causing his face to turn blue with anger.

This is his good daughter!

Didn't she just use some of her mother's dowry So aggressive!

As soon as Yun Chengxiang opened the ledger, he immediately lost his nerve.

The ledger not only recorded when and how much money he spent, what he bought, but even who he bribed!

Isn't this a joke

He spent all the dowry money, and what little is left should be given to Yun Feifei's younger brother to help him establish a career.

Now that he's got the money, where is he going to rob her

"Yun Yaotou, look at you! I'm your father after all. The money belongs to our family. I don't have any!"

Even with the ledger in hand, and having caught Yun Xiang's associate red-handed, he wore a kind expression, trying his best to win over his daughter's heart.

But his wishful thinking went awry.

Yun An'an, heartless!

"Just write me an IOU, and I'll come back in three days to collect it."

Bang.

Yun An'an drove the two people out of the house.

In the courtyard, Yun Shangshu seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.

Aunt Liu also cried out loud.

"Goodness me, what are we going to do A daughter asking her father for money, the world is upside down!"

"Shut up!"

The chancellor slapped Lady Liu to the ground. There were so many servants watching in the courtyard, she wasn't ashamed, he was!truly would be drenched in blood over a treasure map, I merely acted as a catalyst, hastening the inevitable."Moreover, you understand the current state of the Seven Nations better than I do.
