Chapter 437: This King Has Never Been Aflutter

ng Wanting sighed, "Your family suffered a major upheaval. When the Old General and the Young General passed away, you fainted from crying several times. Then there was that incident with the Su Wangf...Xiao Shubi turned around and took the basket of eggs from Jinxiu’s hands, “I came today to visit Hongzhuang. Since she’s pregnant, she should eat more eggs to make up for it.” 。You call her over, or I'll go to the back house. We have to see each other, mother and daughter. 。“ Quan Qingyin looked at Xiao Sh beyaz as if he were an idiot, "Night Second Madam means that my Su Mansion lacks eggs" Xiao Shu Bai shook his head, "No, I just want to see if my daughter still needs this basket of eggs" 。“

She walked a few steps forward when she said this, getting closer to Quan Qingyin. She asked Quan Qingyin: “Dare you let me see my daughter”

Quan Qingyin smiled, “Why not We just need to make things clear before we meet. Your daughter has been at the Su Mansion eating and drinking for several months. How do we calculate this silver With no kinship, my Su Mansion can’t afford to raise her for free >>> 。"What did you say" Xiao Shubi was stunned, "No relatives She's your queen! You married her openly and legally!" "It wasn't..." 。"The right minister answered succinctly, 'I am betrothed to the fourth Miss Ye. The emperor decreed the marriage, and the imperial decree clearly states that it is with the fourth Miss Ye.'" 。You are the ones who secretly replaced the Fourth Miss with the Third Miss and forcefully put her into my Wangfu. 。This matter, this King has always wanted to settle with the Ye family. Today, Second Madam has arrived, so let's settle it properly. 。He waved his hand and ordered the attendants, "Go, bring out the imperial decree that I have kept, and let Lady Ye Er see it." 。“ The servant went to fetch the imperial edict. Xiao Sh beyaz was completely stunned by this series of actions, and even after the edict was retrieved, he was still dazed. 。The eunuch in charge of the Duke of Su's household read out the late emperor's imperial decree, enunciating each word clearly. After finishing, he asked Xiao Sh beyaz: "Madam Er, did you hear clearly This imperial decree explicitly states that the marriage is between the fourth young miss of General's Mansion, Ye Wenyan, and His Highness Sixth, Quan Qinglu. It doesn't mention your daughter, Ye Hongzhuang at all! So why are you here today, calling yourself mother-in-law We are definitely related by marriage, but even then, you're only the second aunt, far from being a mother-in-law!" 。“

This eunuch's words were harsh, not giving Xiao Sh beyaz any face. In the end, he even reminded Xiao Sh beyaz: “If the second Madam insists on putting her daughter in the position of Duchess Consort of Su, then she has to bear the crime of defying the imperial decree.” >>> 。Xiao Sh beyaz stood there, speechless. 。She came today to seek justice for Ye Hongzhuang. Justice for the beating she received, and justice for the loss of her child. 。But she didn't expect the other party to completely avoid talking about that, and instead brought up the unknown origins of Ye Hongzhuang's status as a princess. 。She gritted her teeth in hatred, her brain racing, and finally came up with a way: "Why would this thing work Doesn't Sixth Highness plan to ask your mother""Asked!" Quian Qingyin nodded directly, "I asked long ago, my mother said she didn't know either, she was kept in the dark too." 。The palanquin of joy came from the mansion of a first-rank general. She resides in the deep palace, how could she know who was inside that palanquin Besides, you are framing my mother, do you have evidence If not, then it is slander against the empress dowager, still a capital crime!”

Xiao Sh beyaz took a deep breath and really wanted to ask about the truth of the sixth prince right away.

But reason did prevail over impulse after all. Now she and Hong Zhuang were both in the Su Manor, keeping this matter a secret. Everyone was still tacitly performing their roles as if nothing had happened. 。Once exposed, this person is likely to turn against them, and then both she and Hongzhuang would be in danger. 。"You just said that Hong Zhuang was eating and drinking at your place, but if I'm not mistaken, it was people from your Su Wangfu who found her in the snow from the outskirts of Beijing and brought her straight here." 。Then it wouldn't be called mooching off of others, it would be your own choice. 。Xiao Shubi thought about it, and she remembered the time when Old Madam threw away her Yèhóngzhuang. 。Ke Quanqingyin also had something to say about this. He said, "Yes, the silver from that time should also be counted together." 。My servant brought your daughter back from the suburbs, gave her a room in my house to stay in, and hired the best doctor to treat her. I didn't spare any money on her medical expenses. Today, I just happened to settle the bill all at once. 。"Second Madam, you wouldn't default on your debt, would you"

Xiao Sh beyaz gritted his teeth, "Fine, I won't default. I only ask you, where is the child in my daughter's belly"

"What child" Quan Qingyin looked innocent, "Second Madam, don't joke around. My legal wife hasn't entered the door yet, how could there be another woman who is pregnant with my child Are you setting your own daughter up Or me"

"You... what do you want to do" Xiao Sh beyaz instinctively wanted to rush forward, she just wanted to tear this man apart, but her arm was held tightly by Jinxiu>>> 。Jinxiu finally understood what was going on. Was Sixth Prince turning his back on the Third Miss and refusing to acknowledge her anymore She reminded Xiao Sh beyaz: "Madam, please don't be rash. What's between Sixth Prince and Third Miss is their own business. His words alone don't count, nor do ours. We have to hear what Third Miss herself thinks." 。After finishing his words, he urged Quan Qingyin again, “Please, Sixth Prince, show mercy and allow us to see the Third Miss.” 。As for the silver you mentioned, rest assured that we will definitely give you what is owed. 。"Then, sign the decree!" Quan Qingyin waved his hand again. The eunuch in charge put down the imperial edict and took out several pieces of paper from his sleeve. 。The paper was handed to Xiao Shubi's face, and the eunuch in charge said, "This is the silver owed by your family's third young lady to our Duke of Su mansion. Madam Er, please take a look. If there's no problem, just press your handprint!" A little eunuch also handed over a box of vermilion mixed with oil nearby. 。Xiao Shoubai stared at the several sheets of paper. The details were really meticulous, not only listing the doctor's consultation fees and medicine costs, but also specifying the three meals a day clearly. 。Over these past few months, Ye Hongzhuang has worn several sets of clothes and pairs of shoes, enjoyed a few bowls of bird's nest soup, and taken many nourishing tonics. She has meticulously recorded every detail. 。Xiao Shubi didn't understand, "Is Su Wangfu really short of money They have to be so careful about the calculations" 。Then I have to ask, the dowry our Ye family gave wasn't small back then. Couldn't it even afford my daughter a few months' worth of food If the Sixth Prince really intends to calculate things this way, then please return the dowry from her red wedding as well. Let us each return what we owe and neither owe nor take advantage of the other. 。" A dowry What a joke!" 。I have never been married, so where would I get a dowry Those things were sent to my manor by your First Rank General's Mansion as a gift, not a dowry. 。“If the second madam brings up the issue of marriage again, all we can do is bring up the topic of resisting the imperial decree once more.” 。Oh, perhaps Second Madam is not afraid of this, after all, the previous emperor is no longer alive. 。But Empress Dowager and Regent King aren't still around, are they Don't you think the Ye family can really stand up to the Regent King now Forgive me for being blunt, but the Ye family these days...being able to live in Lin'an Inner City is already a grace from the court. Madam, don't throw this grace away. 。"Xiao Shu Bai's head buzzed, "The current Ye family," This was a fact that the Ye family members were least willing to admit." 。During the heyday of the Ye family, they could almost rival the Quan family. When Old General Ye spoke, even the previous emperor had to listen attentively. 。However, times have changed. Nowadays, the Ye family no longer has a general who can support the entire family. The grand title of a first-rank general's mansion is just a facade; in reality, there is not a shred of strength within it. 。"One million taels of silver in total, Mrs. Er, do you acknowledge this" The eunuch in charge began to urge Xiao Shubi, "The Duke's Mansion is not as leisurely as a First Rank General's Mansion, and our Sixth Prince is not like your two old masters who have nothing to do." 。We are very busy and have no time to keep you company here, Madam. 。If you admit it, we'll have someone bring Miss Ye San here. If you don't admit it, then leave immediately and don't cause trouble for the Duke of Su mansion. 。You're at this age now, you should still have some eyesight. 。Xiao Shuwai's face flushed red and white as he spoke, truly embarrassed beyond measure. 。She really wanted to stamp her handprint smoothly and dash away, only asking to see her daughter once. 。When she faced the last page with "One million taels of silver" written on it, her hand just couldn't press down anymore. 。A million taels Her mother just lost a million taels to Yanhuagong, she couldn't even help out. Where could she possibly get another million taels Just living in Su Wangfu for a few months and it costs a million taels already Is the food at Su Wangfu made of gold"Second Madam doesn't want to acknowledge it" The eunuch took back the paper, "Since you don't want to acknowledge it, then walk the path of not acknowledging it." 。He waved to the servants outside the hall, "Escort them out!"

"Wait!" Xiao Shubei panicked, "Wait!"

She looked at Quan Qingyin, “Your Highness, we Ming people don’t speak in riddles. You know in your heart how this matter came to be.” 。"Must things come to this I only want to see my daughter. Why do you have to be like this Though our family is not as prosperous as it once was, Red Makeup's grandfather's military might still holds sway. You truly aren't afraid"

"What should I fear" Quan Qingyin leaned back, resting against the chair back, his teacup still held in his hand>>> 。He told Xiao Shubu, "I told you before, General Ye's military might is great, but he can't protect your heads." 。Do you believe that if I were to expose how the Second House of the Ye family persecuted Miss Ye Si, those old subordinates of General Ye wouldn't help you but instead come looking for you to settle accounts 。"How about it, Second Madam Dare you make a wager with this King and see who they're truly helping" "You—" "Don't try to..." 。Quan Qingyin placed the teacup down, with such force that it made a loud bang, startling Xiao Sh beyaz and Jinxiu, who both jumped in surprise. 。"Madam Night Two, listen well. If you don't paint this mark today, then next time you come back, it won't be just one million taels." 。And don't you ever bring up the topic of a legitimate wife or children to this king again. 。To get the latest updates, please remember to refresh the page after a while.
