The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character's Sickly Prince Strategy Manual

On the same day, Ning Xue had just finished settling the bill at Cuiyu Pavilion when she heard the shopkeeper come to report that an evil spirit had arrived.

Ning Xue was so angry that she had a headache. If she didn't meet him, she was afraid that he would say some nonsense again.

After careful consideration, Ning Xue had no choice but to ask the shopkeeper to invite Xie Mei in.

Xie Mei walked in with a swagger, and seeing Ning Xue doing the accounts, he said with a smile: "Young lady, it turns out that you like to manage accounts. No wonder this shop is doing so well!"

Ning Xue's face turned cold, and she asked in a bad tone: "What exactly do you want to do?"

Xie Mei sat down without hesitation and crossed his legs. "I told you from the beginning that I wanted you to follow me. You knew it, but so many days have passed and you are still calm. Why do you think I was just talking nonsense?"

Ning Xue narrowed her eyes and still said nothing.

"The doctor from your clinic is in my house, and he's begging to go out every day!" said the evil spirit proudly.

"It's you!" Ning Xue thought bitterly, how did this evil spirit know so much about her? Could it be that he had been staying in the capital all this time and had never left?

Xie Mei looked gloomy, and took out five silver notes from his pocket again, shook them in front of Ning Xue, and said coldly: "This is five thousand taels, which were given to me by the person who entrusted me at the beginning. Tell me, based on the number of this silver note, can you find out that it is the number of the note that the Shangshu Mansion deposited in the bank?"

Ning Xue was shocked when she heard this, and her eyes were fixed on the banknote. Five thousand taels? Could this be the five thousand taels that her third brother gave her? Thinking of this, her face turned pale in an instant.

"If the purpose of the five thousand taels is made public, and the five thousand taels of silver notes are brought for inspection, I wonder if this young lady can suffer a little and have a taste of prison food?"

After saying this evilly, he didn't care about Ning Xue's reaction at all. He casually put the banknote away again, muttering to himself: "I know there is someone behind the young lady, but I don't know if that person is willing to take the responsibility of murdering the Crown Prince's Consort!"

Ning Xue was extremely angry at this time, her eyes seemed to be able to spit fire. She stared at Xie Mei and gritted her teeth and said, "Do you really have to force me to death to be satisfied? Haven't you harmed me enough?" Her voice was trembling, "You have ruined my reputation, you, you!"

However, Xie Mei ignored Ning Xue's anger and snorted, saying, "I am doing this for you. If these things get out, you will be truly finished. Who will want you then? Apart from me, your old lover, I am afraid no one will dare to want you."

"Anyone who dares to ask for it must be the same kind of person as me. You might as well obey me from the beginning!" As he said this, Xie Mei reached out his hand and gently patted Ning Xue's face.

"Think it over carefully. I don't have much patience. It's better for us to part ways amicably. Now, I can still promise you the position of my principal wife, but if the news gets out and I end up with a woman with a ruined reputation and a mad heart, I can only make you a concubine!"

After saying this, Xie Mei stood up, no longer looking at Ning Xue who was still in a state of shock, and walked out with a swagger.

"My dear, give me news by tonight at the latest. Otherwise, I don't know what new rumors will appear tomorrow. Don't say I didn't warn you!" The evil voice came from afar, like a death warrant.

Ning Xue was so angry that she was shaking all over. She smashed the books on the floor frantically, making the inner room a mess. But even so, she still felt extremely depressed inside, and had no place to vent the pain in her heart.

Ning Xue knew very well that Xie Mei always kept his word. If she really told him those things, her father would act ruthlessly and would definitely kill her.

But she was unwilling to marry a scoundrel.

Ning Xue couldn't help but think of what her mother said, to comfort her first and then consider the long-term consequences.

Ning Xue thought this method was feasible, but the evil spirit was very powerful. Where could she find someone to deal with him? This question had been lingering in her mind, making her very upset.

Ning Xue stayed in the room until it was dark and she closed the shop, then she slowly left in a daze.

At first, she had no idea where to find the evil spirit, and her mind was in a mess.

Suddenly, the house in the slum flashed through her mind, and with the mentality of giving it a try, she walked towards that direction.

Sure enough, in front of the house, she saw Xie Mei leaning against the door frame with his eyes narrowed.

"Young lady, you are here!" There was a hint of pride in the evil tone.

"What do you think?" asked Ning Xue with a wicked glance.

Ning Xue looked at Xie Mei's ordinary face, her heart was set, she bit her lip and said, "I've made up my mind, let's get married!"

This answer seemed to be expected by Xie Mei. He nodded and continued, "In that case, I'll be frank. I'll lose a lot if I marry you."

"So, I don't have any betrothal gifts. You can arrange it yourself!" Ning Xue's eyes widened instantly at the evil words.

"What do you mean?" Ning Xue was full of dissatisfaction. It was clearly just a perfunctory formality, but there wasn't even any betrothal gift?

The evil spirit was so thick-skinned that it was shocking. He said shamelessly: "What I mean is that you have to prepare the betrothal gifts yourself. I don't have such things. You know what I do. I am very tight on money!"

As he spoke, Xie Mei waved his hands, looking like a scoundrel, "I have always been honest and upright, and I will have to count on you to help me in the future!"

After saying this, he smiled wickedly and proudly. This young lady was truly his "lucky star". Not only did she bring him two lucrative accounts, but now even her shop was worth a lot of money.

He secretly sighed in his heart, he had done so many bad things in his life, but he never expected that he could now gain both wealth and beauty. Life really was like a play.

Ning Xue was already extremely angry.

She thought angrily, why bother spending money on betrothal gifts? She might as well not do it! Anyway, she would go to the girl's house without betrothal gifts, and she would not be the only one to be embarrassed.

Furthermore, ever since she was divorced, the Shangshu Mansion has not taken her back. Even if a betrothal gift is given, it will not go through the Shangshu Mansion, but she will be asked to handle the return gift herself.

Ning Xue thought carefully. Her second marriage would be much more miserable than her first one. She might even have to save on the three letters and six ceremonies. Was she just going to follow the man like a concubine?

So, she said coldly: "In this case, let's keep it simple. If you don't want to pay the betrothal gift, then I won't prepare a dowry! I don't have many relatives in the capital, so we can skip the banquet!"

When Xie Mei heard Ning Xue say that she had no dowry, she immediately showed an unhappy look on her face and said anxiously: "It won't work if you don't have a betrothal gift, otherwise who would know that you're married?"

Then he emphasized, "It's not okay to get married without a dowry. After all, you are marrying from the capital, so you must have a team of carriages to pull the dowry, so that you can have face!"

"I know that you Beijing girls value marriage certificates. I will find a matchmaker to get it done tomorrow. We can keep it simple, but we must let everyone know that you, Ning Xue, are marrying me, and I am marrying a Beijing official lady!"

Xie Mei said this with a smug look on his face.
