Traveling through ancient times, the princess of the special forces became the group's favorite

Shen Li didn't sleep well all night.

In the past, she was determined to divorce Yun Chenyu, but now that she knew he was going to marry Princess Yingri in the future, she couldn't sleep all night.

Tossing and turning, my mind is confused.

Sometimes Princess Yingri said that she was pregnant with Yun Chenyu's child, and sometimes Yun Chenyu swore to her that he had nothing to do with Princess Yingri, and there were many more details about her daily interactions with Yun Chenyu.

early morning.

Qingluan handed Shen Li a cup of tea and asked him to rinse his mouth.

She took the teacup, rinsed her mouth and said:

"Prepare the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. I want to ask Concubine Zhen for her dowry!"

Her dowry was worth several thousand taels of silver.

She had to prepare in advance. If the emperor granted marriage between Princess Yingri and Yun Chenyu, she would move out of the palace immediately.

With all this gold and silver, her life outside would be easier.

Qingluan hurriedly put down the teacup and went to get the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

She had long been fed up with Zhenfei's vicious face. She took the princess's dowry and spoke ill of her. Now the princess finally took the initiative to ask her for the dowry.

Spreading out the rice paper, picking up the pen, dipping it in ink, Shen Li wrote a letter fluently.

Then he folded it up and sent it to the Weiyang Palace.

……

Weiyang Palace.

After receiving the letter, Zhenfei's eyes flashed with ferocity and she pinched the letter tightly with her fingers. Because she pinched too hard, the letter was wrinkled.

Princess Yun Yuhan took the letter from Concubine Zhen and tore it into pieces after reading it.

"Mother, that Princess Chen is so outrageous! You just took her dowry worth several thousand taels, and she actually sent someone to ask you to return it. She even threatened you that if you don't return it, she will tell father. This lowly bastard really doesn't know his place!"

Yun Yuhan came over and grabbed Concubine Zhen's arm: "Mother, do you want to give it back to her?"

Concubine Zhen narrowed her eyes and said, "What if you don't return it? Your brother has already been stripped of his title. If this gets to your father's ears, I'm afraid we won't be able to turn things around in the future!"

"But..." Yun Yuhan looked around the entire Weiyang Palace.

Now, because of her brother Yun Yin's affairs, Zhen Fei has already provided him with a lot of gold, silver and treasures to appease his followers. Now there are not many valuable things left in the palace.

If I return Shen Li's dowry, then...

Then the Weiyang Palace would really become an empty palace.

"Mother... do we have any extra silver to return to Shen Li?"

Zhenfei's fingers turned white as she tightly gripped the handkerchief, her face turning ashen with anger and worry.

How could she have the money to return to Shen Li?

She had been extremely anxious about this matter since the moment she saw the letter.

She had been thinking about where to get these several thousand taels of silver.

Yun Yuhan was very angry at Shen Li's behavior, but she couldn't deny it.

Suddenly, Lin Wanrou came to her mind.

All this was caused by Lin Wanrou.

If it weren't for Lin Wanrou, her mother wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

"Mother, those dowries were originally given to you by Lin Wanrou as a filial gift. If Shen Li wanted the dowry, she should have gone to Lin Wanrou to ask for it. It's unreasonable for her to come to you to ask for it!"

Yun Yuhan looked at Concubine Zhen in front of her with an indignant look on her face.

Concubine Zhen frowned and snorted, "Lin Wanrou? How can she come up with so much silver now? Even if Shen Li really goes to ask her for it, it will probably be in vain."

Concubine Zhen paused and continued, "No matter what, your father must not know about this. If Shen Li insists on bringing this to your father's attention, even if we claim that these dowries were given by Lin Wanrou, your father will certainly feel disgusted with me."

Before she finished speaking, Zhenfei's eyes suddenly flashed, as if she remembered something important.

Not long ago, a wealthy businessman from Nanjiang who was engaged in jewelry trading entered the palace.

Although this man is over 60 years old, he is extremely wealthy and rich enough to rival a country.

At that time, she also purchased several exquisite jade jewelry headpieces from him, spending a lot of money.

If we can get some money from this wealthy businessman, it will undoubtedly greatly alleviate the current urgent situation.

Considering the enormous wealth possessed by the wealthy businessman, even tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, let alone a few thousand, would be nothing more than a drop in the bucket for him.

"Han'er, what do you think would happen if we could allocate a few thousand taels of silver from Mr. Zhao?" Zhen Fei suddenly asked Yun Yuhan.

Hearing this, Yun Yuhan was stunned. She asked in confusion, "Is the Mr. Zhao you're talking about, the one who came to the palace to sell jewelry before?"

"It's this person." Zhenfei nodded in response.

Yun Yuhan recalled that she had bought several exquisite hairpins from him.

And we have to admit that the jewelry he sold was indeed unique and peculiar, and was very popular at the time.

However, although Mr. Zhao is very wealthy, what reason is there for him to willingly give them such a large sum of money?

Concubine Zhen saw through Yun Yuhan's inner thoughts at a glance, and said bluntly:

"Humph, today's dire situation was all caused by Lin Wanrou. Naturally, she should be the one to clean up this mess!"

"Mother, are you thinking of... marrying my cousin Wanrou to Mr. Zhao?" Yun Yuhan's heart was shocked, and she looked at Concubine Zhen in disbelief.

Zhenfei narrowed her eyes slightly, and a sinister look flashed in her eyes for a moment, which made people shudder.

"Mother, I've heard that Mr. Zhao has a peculiar habit! Women who marry him often die for no apparent reason not long afterward. So, do you really still want to marry Cousin Wanrou to him?"

Yun Yuhan's face showed shock, and her words were full of disbelief.

After all, Lin Wanrou is her mother's distant niece, and they are related by blood.

"If they don't betroth her to me, are they going to betroth you to me?! This is the only way we can resolve this urgent crisis. Besides, this disaster was caused by her in the first place."

Zhen Fei's face was as gloomy as water, without any sign of hesitation.

Upon hearing this, Yun Yuhan, who was standing aside, turned pale as paper in an instant, as if all the blood had been drained out of him.

A tragic picture involuntarily emerged in her mind: not long after, Lin Wanrou suffered inhumane abuse and eventually died.

However, Yun Yuhan quickly came to his senses and thought to himself: If I can really get enough money from this, then what does Lin Wanrou's life or death have to do with me? Anyway, as long as I can solve the current difficulties facing my family, it will be fine.

Thinking of this, Yun Yuhan couldn't help but frowned slightly and continued to ask:

"But what if she absolutely refuses to agree?"
