Cold-faced Empress

Seeing Fu Siying's regret and distress, the second madam stood up and said coldly, "Fine, one thousand taels. I'll have someone send it over tomorrow!"

Seemingly afraid that Fu Siying would make any further demands, the Second Madam immediately took her leave: "You don't need to worry about anything. Just wait until seven days later to go to the Nanshan Villa! I have other matters to attend to at my residence, so I'll be going now!"

As soon as the words left his lips, he turned and left.

Upon seeing this, Fu Siying quickly got up and chased after the departing figures of her two aunts, calling out as she ran, "Second Aunt! My aunt and cousin Wei are moving out, don't forget to send them invitations! Oh, and also, my aunt and cousin need new clothes, please gather 1,500 taels and send them over!"

If they walked a little slower, they would lose another five hundred taels. So, no sooner had Fu Siying finished speaking than the two ladies of the main family disappeared in an instant.

Fu Siying immediately stopped chasing, her triumphant smile impossible to hide.

Standing behind her, Li sighed, "You! You let the family pay for all this money. Your second aunt must hate you to the core!"

Fu Siying scoffed: "But the purpose our family wants to achieve by using us is worth tens of thousands of taels!"

Having heard her husband's analysis the previous night, Madam Li did not refute it, which is why she allowed Fu Siying to argue with her family earlier.

Fu Siying turned her head and saw Wei Lanling and Xiao Li approaching with hesitant and embarrassed expressions, as if they wanted to say something but stopped. She immediately said, "Mother, everything is fine now. Please take Aunt and Cousin to find a place to stay."

Li came to her senses and said, "Oh, okay."

This made Wei Lanling, who had originally suggested staying a few more days, immediately swallow her words and lose the courage to bring it up again.

Watching her mother leave with Wei Lanling, who unconsciously revealed her reluctance, Fu Siying curled her lips and looked at her with sarcasm.

Wei Lanling wasn't reluctant to part with the Fu family mansion, but rather with the five hundred taels of silver!

Tch, let's not even talk about whether Second Aunt will give an extra five hundred taels of silver. Even if she does, let her use it to buy clothes for Wei Lanling.

Ha, why should she spend the money she extorted on Wei Lanling?

Thinking of all the disgusting things that happened at this banquet in her past life, Fu Siying turned around abruptly and strode back to her room.

She certainly couldn't just sit idly by and wait to die. Not only did she have to avert the crisis, but she also had to turn the tables on them!

She must find herself a suitable and sharp knife to use as a tool to kill someone else!

After tidying her clothes, Fu Siying put on her veil and left the mansion.

The place we're going to is none other than... the Prince Mu's Mansion!

She wasn't afraid of missing him, because she knew that Mo Canglan rarely went to court due to his frail health. He always stayed in his mansion, waiting for officials of all ranks to come and ask for instructions. The huge Mu Prince's mansion was like a small court outside the palace.

When Fu Siying arrived at the Prince Mu's Mansion and saw its grandeur and magnificence once again, she was still awestruck by its imposing presence and solemnity.

The mansion has five high-roofed gates, and the area in front of the gates is bustling with carriages and people. The mansion is heavily guarded, and apart from officials, most of the people coming and going are young, spirited, and full of vigor.

This was her second visit to the Prince Mu's residence. As for the first time...

Fu Siying lowered her head slightly, thankful that the veil concealed her discomfort.

The first time was when I bravely came to Prince Mu in my past life to annul my engagement. At that time, I had no mind to think about anything else; I only thought about daring to refuse power for my love. I was moved by my own actions, and it was truly a moving story.

Recalling her foolish mistakes in her past life, Fu Siying's cheeks flushed.
