The man's eyes were red and he looked at the woman pitifully.
He was very sure in his heart that his Xing'er would relent and compromise.
Shen Nanxing was simply shocked by this man's shamelessness. What did he mean by "the newly married prince's palace has no shortage of money"? It was Shen Nanxing who had no shortage of money! How much money was in the palace's treasury? Didn't this man have any idea?
We have to pay for it ourselves, but it is obvious that they are asking her, Shen Nanxing, to pay for it!
She blinked her eyes, looking innocent: "Of course I can't take my mother's money."
As soon as these words were spoken, Concubine Duan paused in wiping her tears, and Xie Tingyu, who was kneeling in front of Concubine Duan, had ecstasy in his red eyes.
"Xing'er, you, you agreed!"
Xie Tingyu suddenly stood up and hugged Shen Nanxing into his arms, holding her tightly.
"Nanxing, thank you!"
Concubine Duan was also full of gratitude: "Nanxing, you are a good child. Yu'er marrying you is really the greatest blessing in his life!"
Shen Nanxing was restrained by Xie Tingyu's sudden action and she almost couldn't breathe.
She pushed him away with force.
Xie Tingyu looked stunned: "Xing'er..."
Shen Nanxing coughed twice: "Ahem, you're hugging me too tightly, I can't breathe..."
Xie Tingyu quickly patted Shen Nanxing's back to calm her down, and apologized to her: "Xing'er, I'm sorry, it's all Brother Yu's fault. Brother Yu was too excited just now..."
Shen Nanxing felt better after coughing for a while. He glanced at the two of them again and continued, "Mother, Prince, I haven't finished what I just said!"
She frowned and said, "Of course, I can't touch my mother's money, but after some calculation, I think fifty thousand taels of silver is indeed too much."
"Your Majesty, could you please ask His Majesty for an additional 20,000 taels of silver? We can then pay the remaining 30,000 taels from the palace."
"No!" Xie Tingyu flatly refused.
After she finished speaking, she saw that the woman's face was not very good, so she hurriedly explained: "Xing'er, a year ago, Prince Ling quelled the plague in Jicheng, and it only cost 110,000 taels of silver."
"If I spend 120,000 taels of silver to quell the flood in Liangzhou, wouldn't that be an admission to the entire court that I'm inferior to Prince Ling?"
He held the woman's hands and said affectionately, "Xing'er, can you bear to let Brother Yu be ridiculed and said that Brother Yu's ability is not as good as others?"
Shen Nanxing: ...
This stupid method he came up with is indeed inferior to others...
In her previous life, she gave him all her money, and the method he used did solve the flood problem in Liangzhou, but it was only temporary.
Half a year later, heavy rain fell for three consecutive days, and the Luo River overflowed. Liangzhou next to the Luo River was flooded again, even worse than this time.
He once again requested permission to go to Liangzhou to control the flood, but the emperor threw a memorial on his head, breaking it.
Later, Fu Jiuli went to solve the problem. He only spent 12,000 taels of silver and completely solved the flood problem in Liangzhou. Liangzhou no longer had to worry about floods.
This happened in her previous life, when Fu Jiuli told her this as a joke in front of her grave.
Fu Jiuli was happy to tell her any embarrassing stories about Xie Tingyu.
This man...
Shen Nanxing pursed her lips and suppressed her smile.
But she had already persuaded him. Since Xie Tingyu insisted on taking 50,000 taels of silver from the palace, then let him take it!
There are still many valuable things in Xinlanyuan.
The yard that Xie Tingyu used to support Shen Zhiyi, and the treasures he gave to Shen Zhiyi privately, can also be sold for some silver!
I originally wanted to leave a place for Shen Zhiyi to stay, but since Xie Tingyu doesn't allow it, then I won't keep her. Anyway, she has no objection.
So she smiled and said, "How could Xing'er bear to let Brother Yu be laughed at? I'll go back today and raise some silver. Although 50,000 taels of silver is a lot, it can still be raised with some effort."
Xie Tingyu just thought she was going to sell her dowry and didn't take it seriously.
He just thought that the matter was settled, his eyes lit up with excitement, and he looked at Concubine Duan, and both of them were full of pride in their eyes.
After a few more words, Xie Tingyu said goodbye to Concubine Duan: "Mother, it's almost time. I will go to see the emperor first."
