Becoming a widow for the sake of good fortune? The short-lived prince lived a hundred years

"How do you think you can operate this place so smoothly? Not to mention that all the people here are of noble status, even if you can't be disturbed here, do you think ordinary people can do it? Let me tell you, the boss behind this place is the Sixth Prince!"

Mu Lanxing looked at the two of them and said, "If we want to save him, there is no other way but to raise money. Do you understand?"

Tian Jiaying's eyes suddenly widened.

The Sixth Prince, it was actually the Sixth Prince? The Sixth Prince was her son-in-law!

Her eyes suddenly lit up, she had no way to help others.

If it was the Sixth Prince, could she ask him to let Luchang go?

If the Sixth Prince knew that his brother-in-law was treated like this, he would definitely help him, right?

Mu Lanxing saw clearly what was in Tian Jiaying's eyes. He sneered, "Madam Yan, are you thinking that you can use this to plead with the Sixth Prince to let your son go? After all, he married your daughter as a concubine!"

Tian Jiaying, struck by this, raised her head. "The Sixth Prince and my Marquisate are now related. How could he watch Luchang suffer? I must go and beg him. Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I can't give up."

"Naive!" Mu Lanxing mercilessly shattered her fantasy: "Not to mention that your daughter isn't his favorite woman. Even if she were, he wouldn't let her go. On the contrary, if he knew Yan Luchang was here, he would probably be the first to order Yan Luchang's execution!"

"Mom, I don't want to die. Go raise money and redeem me!" Yan Luchang didn't want to take any risk now. That was his life.

"If you can raise the money, I can lend you a hand and redeem your son. If you want to beg for mercy, that's up to you!"

"Raise money, yes, how much do you need to raise?"

"Ten thousand taels!"

"Why, why do you need so much?"

Mu Lanxing glanced at her and said, "It's a good thing your son has a good family background, the legitimate son of Marquis Weiyuan. If he were a child from an ordinary family, three to five thousand taels would be enough."

Tian Jiaying secretly groaned. In the past, there was Luo's dowry in the mansion, so they didn't take the ten thousand taels of silver seriously.

But since Yan Xining took away the dowry, although she only took away one-third of the wealth in the mansion, those that were damaged, used, and consumed were all replenished with silver.

All that was left in the Marquis's Mansion were some properties and meager income.

Moreover, the dowry consisted of profitable shops and fields, and the ones the mansion purchased later were not as good, and the harvests and income were not as good.

The mansion's expenses have always been high. In order to let Xueqi marry in a decent manner, a dowry was prepared for her, which made money even tighter.

The silver on the books was less than three thousand taels.

This was only after the profits from the shops and land were received.

Mu Lanxing stood up: "Almost done, let's go!"

Yan Luchang hugged Tian Jiaying's legs and said, "Mom, you must raise money. Remember to raise money. You have to save your son!"

"Okay, Mom will go raise money, and Mom will definitely save you!" Tian Jiaying said, and the mother and son were reluctant to part again.

When she went out, Tian Jiaying discovered that she didn't go through the same door she came in. Even after Mu Lanxing took her around, she couldn't tell where she was.

Mu Lanxing said, "You don't have much time. As far as I know, in three days, a group of people will be sent to Jizhou, and your son's name is among them. If you can't raise 10,000 taels within three days, you probably won't be able to save him!"

Tian Jiaying felt gloomy. Ten thousand taels in three days.

Where could she raise so much money?

After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, Tian Jiaying was a little confused.

Raise money, raise money now.

But she pawned everything she could, even her own jewelry, and sold two shops, but in the end she only had a little over 5,600 taels left.

The shop could have sold for a few hundred taels more, but because she was in a hurry to sell, the price was forced down.

Seeing her saying nothing and anxiously trying to raise money, the nanny beside her sighed, "The Second Miss has only been married for a short time. If it had been a little longer, the Marquis' Mansion would have recovered and wouldn't be short of money!"

Tian Jiaying's eyes suddenly lit up.

She didn't have it, but Yan Xueqi did. At that time, Yan Xueqi's dowry included not only valuables but also a full 20,000 taels of silver.

All she needs to do is lend him five thousand taels first.

Tian Jiaying immediately sent a letter to the Sixth Prince's Mansion to meet Yan Xueqi.

After all, she was still the wife of the Marquis of Weiyuan, and her request to see the daughter who was married to the prince's palace as a concubine was a legitimate request. Moreover, the prince's palace did not have a princess for the time being, so there were fewer procedures.

The chief secretary of the palace reported the news to Chu Yunyan.

When Chu Yunyan heard the words "Concubine Yan", he frowned.

These days, Yan Xueqi tried every means to show her courtesy to him, but he felt extremely disgusted with her.

This was not the first time that he and Yan Xueqi had been together in Liuguang Pavilion.

He originally quite liked Yan Xueqi's boldness and passion, but the premise was that it would make him feel novel and interesting, without affecting him.

But in Liuguang Pavilion, he saw his father's cold eyes and the neglect he had shown him during this period.

He watched the Third Brother rise rapidly, cultivating his own people and gathering influence, while he was confined to the palace. Three full months of house arrest—how many opportunities would he lose? How could he not be angry?

Hearing that the wife of Marquis Weiyuan wanted to see her daughter, he sneered: "Let her see her!"

You've only been married for a little over a month, are you so reluctant to let her go? Why not just take her back?

The Chief Secretary nodded and waved his hand to have the servants lead the people to the courtyard where the concubine lived.

He whispered, "The prince has been neglecting the concubine recently. Did the concubine pass on the message, and the wife of the Marquis of Weiyuan came to support her?"

Chu Yunyan sneered: "Don't worry, they don't dare!"

His eyes were sharp and pointed. "Take one-third of the profits from Zuimengyoufang and send them to Duke Dingguo's Mansion. Don't delay sending the rest to Qingzhou."

"Yes!"

Chu Yunyan thought sarcastically, "Do you think that just because I'm under house arrest, I can no longer reach him?" He has his own manpower. The soldiers he's privately training in Qingzhou can be broken up into smaller units and sent to the capital in six months at most. They'll be invaluable then!

Yan Xueqi's life was filled with depression and despair. Her maid, Siqin, had gone through great pains to finally leave the palace that day, but she never returned. It was unknown whether she had betrayed her master or was punished by the palace for sneaking out.

She couldn't get any information either.

At this time, she was very happy to hear that Tian Jiaying had arrived.

Was it Siqin who passed the news, and after her mother knew about it, she came to see her immediately?

She immediately asked Si Hua to go and welcome the person over.

Seeing Yan Xueqi, Tian Jiaying was stunned and shocked. How could her plump and beautiful daughter have lost so much weight?

Tian Jiaying walked over quickly and grabbed Yan Xueqi's hand. Although they hadn't seen each other for just over a month, it seemed like a long time had passed.

"Qier, why have you lost so much weight?"

Yan Xueqi was also in tears, and she felt depressed.

Now she is just a concubine, and Chu Yunyan will soon marry a wife.

If she doesn't give birth to a son quickly, what will she use to fight against the queen in the future?

However, Chu Yunyan refused to see her, and no matter how hard she tried, it was useless, and she couldn't get pregnant on her own.

When he saw Tian Jiaying, he had to vent all the pain in his heart.

However, Tian Jiaying still remembered the purpose of her visit. So she told her about Yan Luchang, and then hesitantly said, "Qier, your brother has fallen into this situation now. Only you can help him!"

When Yan Xueqi heard this, she was shocked at first, then her face changed slightly: "Mother, it's not that I don't want to help, but I have no say in the prince's affairs. I haven't seen him for a long time."

"I know, I know, Qi'er, I don't want you to ask the prince for help, I want you to lend me some money!"

Yan Xueqi hesitated: "How much do you want to borrow?"

"Mother has only managed to collect five thousand taels. Please lend me five thousand taels and I will redeem your brother."

Yan Xueqi's face turned slightly grim as she forced a smile, "Mother, it's not that I don't want to lend you the money. I'm married into the palace and need to manage the relationship there. I've almost used up all my money and need to keep some for myself. If I lend it to you, I'll have no money left. If I don't manage the relationship, I'll never have the chance to see the prince again. You don't want me to live like this, do you?"
