Gu Zhiyin raised an eyebrow and looked at her with a smile: "Mother, I didn't propose the marriage swap. After the veil was lifted, the Pingyang Palace discovered that the bride had been swapped. I said things I shouldn't have said in a panic. I'm afraid that even if father tried hard to come up with a good reason, it wouldn't be able to calm the Pingyang Palace's anger."

"Are you threatening me?" Jiang was furious.

Gu Zhiyin did not argue with her, but turned to look at Gu Yanqing: "Father, I made concessions for my second sister, so should my second sister also consider me? After all, if my dowry is too small, even if the Pingyang Palace does not say anything on the surface, they will look down on me in their hearts. How can they help our family then?"

When Gu Yanqing heard this, he responded without hesitation: "As you wish."

Originally, because the youngest daughter was going to marry into the prince's palace, in order to allow their daughter to gain a foothold in the palace, the betrothal gifts sent by the Fu family were given to Gu Jinse as a dowry.

Even if he dotes on his younger daughter, it is his eldest daughter who is marrying into the palace, and he will have to rely on Yinyin for support in the future, so he must not let her be looked down upon in the palace.

Gu Zhiyin smiled lightly.

Jiang gritted her teeth and felt resentful in her heart.

After convincing Gu Zhiyin, Gu Yanqing did not linger any longer and got up to leave.

He had to go to the Prince of Pingyang's Palace immediately to get an explanation.

When Gu Jinse saw Jiang coming back, she couldn't wait to ask, "Mom, is it done?"

Jiang was furious when she saw her daughter's expectant eyes. She reached out and poked her forehead, "I really owed you in my previous life. I didn't deserve to be a good princess. Now, all the betrothal gifts sent by the Pingyang Palace have been exchanged by her."

I really don't know what kind of evil has befallen my daughter, Shen Linzhou, that she actually pushed away the wealth and glory she had obtained. But my daughter threatened to die, saying that she would never marry Fu Yunjing. As her own daughter, whom she had spoiled since she was a child, what could Jiang do but obey.

Otherwise, if the matter gets out of hand, not to mention the Fu family, even the Shen family’s marriage will probably be ruined.

Can the master forgive them and their daughter?

It would be best if Shen Linzhou is really as promising as my daughter said.

Gu Jinse's originally happy expression suddenly froze. When the Fu family offered the betrothal gift, the gift was quite considerable. In order to save her face in the palace, her father added the entire amount to her dowry.

When Gu Jinse thought about her dowry being reduced by more than half, she gritted her teeth in anger.

Gu Zhiyin is really greedy.

Don't think you can sit back and relax after taking her dowry and moving into the palace. It's a hell of a pit.

In her previous life, when she came to the Prince of Pingyang's Palace to propose marriage, she tried every possible means to get this marriage. She thought she would marry into a wealthy and noble family and enjoy wealth and glory, but unexpectedly she ended up being imprisoned.

She was locked up in the farm and lived in darkness, but every day she heard the servants talk about how her elder sister and her husband were very loving and noble, which made her hate them to the point of almost going crazy.

Why!

Obviously, Gu Zhiyin married a person who was not as good as herself, but she was getting better and better, and compared her to the mud.

Gu Jinse cursed Gu Zhiyin day and night for a bad death. Finally one day, she heard that Gu Zhiyin was seriously ill and died. She cried and laughed like crazy in the yard. Finally, she accidentally fell and hit her head on a rock and died.

Since God allowed her to live again, especially on the day of her wedding, it was to let her seize the opportunity and marry Shen Linzhou.

When Shen Linzhou achieves great success and is awarded an official title in the future, that will be the day when Gu Zhiyin kneels at her feet.

At the Prince of Pingyang’s Palace, Prince Ming’s wedding was celebrated, and the atmosphere was filled with joy.

Fu Zheng hurried to Chaohui Hall of the old Princess Fu, holding a letter.

The busy maids in the courtyard all saluted him, and the old princess's happy laughter could be heard from afar.

Fu Zheng subconsciously frowned, feeling the letter in his hand was burning. He stood in front of the old princess's door and knocked gently a few times.

The maid opened the door and was stunned to see Fu Zheng. She greeted him a little late, "Good luck to the prince."

Fu Zheng walked straight into the room: "Greetings to mother."

The old princess was also surprised to see him: "Why are you here? Even if it's still early, you should keep a close eye on the front yard. Today is Yun Jing's big day, and there can be no mistakes."

"Greetings, father." A beautiful young woman sitting next to the old princess stood up and bowed politely to Fu Zheng.

Fu Zheng looked at his eldest daughter, nodded slightly, and turned to the servants in the room and said, "Everyone go down first."

Everyone withdrew.

When Princess Fu saw this, her expression became serious.

When the door was closed, she asked, "What happened?"

Fu Zheng handed over the letter in his hand: "Gu Yanqing is here and asked the doorman to pass a letter to me."

The old princess took the letter in surprise and read it carefully.

Although Fu Yunyao was close to the old princess, the rules and regulations engraved in her bones did not allow her to read the letter without the consent of her elders, so she sat aside in a dignified manner.

Old Princess Fu looked at it very quickly, and her brows knitted together.

Gu Yanqing said in the letter that half an hour ago, a patrolling Taoist priest passed by the Gu Mansion and found black mist in the golden light of the mansion. Upon learning that the Gu family was marrying off their daughter today, he said that the two sisters should be blessed, but the husbands they married today were not suitable. In order to avoid trouble in the future, he either canceled the marriage or let the two sisters exchange husbands.

This matter is very serious. Gu Yanqing is not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid of one. He came to ask the Pingyang Palace for their opinion and asked if they are willing to exchange the bride. If they are not willing, then the marriage will be cancelled today. Although it will be embarrassing, he does not want to harm the Pingyang Palace for the sake of today's face.

Every word comes from the heart, and Pingyang Palace comes first in everything.

"Mom, since the marriage is not appropriate, why not..."

Before Fu Zheng could even utter the word "cancel", he heard the old Princess Fu say, "Then change the marriage."

Fu Zheng's eyes widened in shock. "Mom... this is not good. The guests who came to the banquet all knew that we married the second daughter of the Gu family. Suddenly, we married the eldest daughter. She will have to go out for social events in the future. Wouldn't this cause people to talk about it?"

Old Princess Fu glanced at him and said, "Isn't the Fu family being talked about enough now? Compared to being talked about in the future when the Princess of the County has changed from the second daughter to the eldest daughter, is it better to suddenly cancel the marriage today?"

"Besides, look at which girls in the capital are willing to marry into the family. Since the Taoist priest said that the daughter of the Gu family is a blessed person, maybe Yun Jing will change her mind. Gu Yanqing came with sincerity, so we shouldn't be too much."

Fu Zheng choked up when he thought about the scandal his son had gotten into over the past six months because of an actor.

Although their palace is not as glorious as it used to be, they are still princes and nobles. They can easily find noble ladies from famous families in the capital, so there is no way they would lower their status to consider the daughter of the Gu family.

If the wedding is suddenly cancelled today, I don’t know what kind of rumors will spread. I’m afraid I won’t be able to marry even the daughter of a minor official in the future.

"Just listen to mother. I'll send someone to reply." Fu Zheng said.

Gu Yanqing heaved a sigh of relief after receiving Fu Zheng's confirmation and hurried back home.
