The Doctor's Concubine: Kick the Scumbag King and I Want to Be a Dandy Girl in the Capital
Chapter 286 If you can’t make it, you’ll go see the King of Hell!
Yi Jingxiao and Yu met the matchmaker together, but Prince An did not show up.
The matchmaker was very embarrassed and didn't want to come, but Shi Shi persuaded her and promised her many benefits, and she finally agreed:
"My Lord, the eldest lady of the Bo Mansion said that they want to get engaged. As for the betrothal gift, they don't need anything else, but they must pay 400,000 silver coins.
If you are afraid that the emperor will blame you, you can give him something valuable that can be converted into cash.
The betrothal gifts have been sent to the Earl's Mansion, and it is fine even if the marriage is held immediately.
The eldest lady said that she would not let you suffer any loss, and she would give you three beautiful concubines. If you cannot be concubines, you can be concubines. "
Yu had a cold face and didn't say anything. Yi Jingxiao said:
"Please tell the Madam of the Bo Mansion that the dowry we offer is already very high and we will not increase it any further.
I have no plans to take a concubine for the time being, and I appreciate her kindness.
If she doesn't want to get married, we at Prince An's Mansion won't force her."
After hearing what the matchmaker said, Shi was in disbelief. How could this be?
Didn’t Prince An like that dead girl very much? Don’t think that she didn’t see how affectionate they were when they met.
Didn't she just ask for an extra 100,000 taels? It was just a drop in the bucket for Prince An's Mansion. Why didn't she want to get married?
Could it be that something went wrong with that dead girl?
If that was the case, she would make sure that damn girl was punished.
If this marriage fails, she promises to make that damn girl a second wife or concubine, and also to receive a huge betrothal gift.
Seeing the fierce look in Shi's eyes, the matchmaker hurriedly said goodbye and left.
She thought to herself that she would not do it next time no matter how much money she was offered. Is Prince An's Mansion easy to mess with? Don't get yourself into trouble.
Shi was thinking about how to teach Tang Wensu a lesson, make her obedient, let her find Yi Jingxiao, and let Prince An's Mansion agree to the conditions of the Earl's Mansion.
Mother Hu came in.
When Shi saw that Mother Hu looked very unhappy, she stood up quickly:
"Mom, but the prince..."
"No, ma'am, it's the Second Young Master."
Shi grabbed Mother Hu's hand:
"Cheng'er? Tell me quickly, what happened to Cheng'er?"
Mother Hu said: "The second young master had an argument with someone in the academy, and finally got into a fight. He broke the leg of a classmate.
The doctor examined the patient and said that even if the patient was reattached, he would still be crippled and asked them to find a miracle healer.
They tied up the second young master and brought him to you, madam, to ask for one hundred thousand taels of silver.
They wanted to use the money to find a miracle doctor, and if they couldn't find one, they would break the second young master's legs to repay him."
"Is Cheng'er okay?"
"The second young master is fine. He said he was framed. He didn't hit hard at all and his legs wouldn't be broken.
Those people and the second young master were in the front yard, waiting for the lady to give them money.
If they don’t get the money, they will take the young master to the police and make sure he can never go to school again.”
Shi asked again, "Is Uncle at home?"
Mother Hu: "Uncle is not here."
Shi sat down slowly, feeling as if the sky had fallen.
Such a big thing happened, and she couldn't find anyone to discuss it with.
Suddenly, she stood up and ran to the warehouse, with Mother Hu following closely behind.
She doesn't have to worry about the old man's affairs in the mansion, and he can pay off his debts himself.
She turned a blind eye to her man's affairs and let it go. He deserved to be beaten for his romantic debts.
But, her son is different. Her second son is the apple of her eye and the apple of her eye.
That was the child she had high hopes for, and whether she could enjoy a peaceful old age in the future depended on him.
Shi knew very well how much money was left in the mansion's account, only a few tens of thousands of taels.
She planned to sell all the valuable things in her dowry to solve her son's problem first, and the rest of the things could be dealt with later.
Shi took out the key he carried with him, opened the door and entered the warehouse.
When she opened the boxes one by one, she was completely dumbfounded:
"Mom, am I dazzled? Where are the things in the box? Where is my dowry? Why are they all gone?"
Mother Hu was also stunned. She opened all the boxes and saw that all the valuable things inside were gone, leaving only some large and worthless items.
Mother Hu was also puzzled. She looked at Shi:
"Ma'am, don't you always have the key to the storeroom with you?"
"Yes."
Shi thought of a possibility and ran to the front yard.
In the front yard, Tang Zhong hadn't woken up yet. Shi grabbed Tang Zhong's servant and said:
"Tell me, was my dowry taken away by your prince?"
The boy's eyes flickered and he lowered his head.
There’s nothing else I don’t understand about this.
Shi was so angry that she walked over and slapped Tang Zhong's swollen face several times:
"You are such a heartless person, that was my last fortune, and you stole it and spent it.
It would be fine if you were to do your business, but you went to whorehouse! You don't want to live a good life, huh?
Tang Zhong, it's a good thing Cheng'er is fine this time, but if anything happens to you, you'll die!"
After saying this, Shi knocked over the medicine bowl brought by the servant:
"You still want to take medicine, but our family is going to be hard-pressed to make ends meet, and we have no money to buy you medicine.
If you survive, you are lucky. If you don’t, you will go to hell!”
Tang Zhong, who was awakened by Shi, looked at Shi who was going crazy. He didn't know that his deeds had been discovered. He shouted:
"You damned woman, you dare to hit me, are you looking for death? Cough cough cough~~"
After Tang Zhong finished cursing, he burst into coughing violently, as if he wished his heart, liver, and lungs had been coughed out.
Shi sneered and said, "It's still unclear who is looking for death. From today on, I will not be responsible for your affairs!
Tang Zhong, I wish you good luck! "
After Shi finished speaking, she took Mother Hu away.
Returning to her room, Shi said to Mother Hu:
"Go find a matchmaker, and ask her to go to Prince An's mansion again, even if you have to kowtow and bow.
You go with her and ask to see Prince An, and tell him that I agree to his conditions and the betrothal gift is 300,000 taels.
Besides, I don’t want the eight loads of stuff anymore. Please exchange them for cash. I want 80,000 taels.
You should beg him nicely and tell him that you are waiting for the money to save your life. You must be sincere, understand?"
At this point, Shi's tears flowed down her cheeks. She felt so helpless and hopeless.
Mother Hu also wiped away her tears, she understood what Shi meant.
The title of the Earl's House must be protected, and the second young master's future must be protected. Three hundred and eighty thousand taels, plus some more from the family, is just enough.
"I know, don't worry, ma'am."
"Mom, please ask Prince An to help settle Tang Zhong's matter.
You tell him that he can also put forward a condition, as long as it is not too excessive, I will agree to it. "
The matter of Tang Zhong might be a difficult hurdle for their Earl's family to overcome.
But for Prince An’s Mansion, it’s no big deal at all. It just depends on whether others are willing to help.
Mother Hu went to find a matchmaker and told the people in the front yard to wait.
Shi began to count all the cash available in the house to see how much money was left.
Mother Hu came back quickly, and with her came the housekeeper of Prince An's mansion.
