Teaming up with her mother to take revenge on the scumbags! The Crown Princess becomes the darling o

Old Mrs. Qiao spoke frankly, and Madam Qin, the wife of the Marquis, also deeply agreed.

"In terms of character, there is no problem. I will talk to the Marquis and his son when they return tonight. If Yu'er has no objections, then we can consider the marriage settled, and it will not have been in vain for you to make this special trip. However, if the child already has someone in mind, then I will have to refuse you. I lost Jin'er for several years, and I really do not want to go against the wishes of the two brothers. Please understand this."

Old Mrs. Qiao was sensible and knew that Madam Qin's words were not an excuse, so she patted the back of her hand and said.

"Alright, just keep it in mind. A happy occasion naturally requires mutual consent for a lifetime of happiness. I am not one to separate lovers. Let's see what the second young master thinks."

"Don't worry, I will personally come to inform you whether it will work out or not! I will definitely not delay Fu'er's time."

"Alright, then I'll go back to my residence and wait there."

In a few words, Old Madam Qiao explained the reason for her visit to Madam Qin, the wife of the Marquis, and after sitting for a while, she left.

As they left, they saw many servants from various households squatting at the entrance of the Marquis's mansion. It was obvious that they were also after the Marquis's mansion. Old Madam Qiao remained silent and did not show excessive joy or anger, which left the servants who came to inquire somewhat puzzled.

Once inside the carriage, Granny Shi, who had served Old Lady Qiao for many years, asked a question.

"Grandma, is it possible for Miss Fu's marriage to go through?"

"It's hard to say. The second young master is good-natured, but he's also outstanding. He might have already won the hearts of many girls. So let's wait and see. After all, in the past, if a family had a daughter, ten thousand families would seek her out. Now it's the other way around. It's become that if a family has a son, ten thousand families will come knocking. Just watch, maybe some families will fight tooth and nail for him."

The old woman beside him sighed and said no more.

Grandma Qiao closed her eyes to rest, seemingly having let the matter go, but she was still brooding over it. She had never encountered anything like this in her life; the one from the Eastern Palace had truly caught everyone off guard.

Wasn't he afraid of angering those nobles and adding further obstacles to his path to the throne?

He's truly an unfathomable person!

The carriages rolled away, and news of the Qiao family's visit quickly reached the ears of many nobles. Although they did not know which young master they were seeking, all the others were good, so the visiting cards became increasingly extravagant, flowing into the Marquis of Haibo's residence like a river, keeping the stewards busy.

The commotion subsided somewhat only after Lady Qin, the wife of the Marquis, mentioned that she was too busy preparing for the future Crown Princess's wedding.

It wasn't just their family; other households were also sending out invitations. Compared to the bustling crowds at the gates of the major prefectures, the Lü family seemed calm and somewhat lonely at this moment.

Shouhui Hall.

Mother Lü beat her chest and stamped her feet, filled with regret.

His slanted eyes now looked even more mean, and even though he was wearing a beautiful dress made from the fabric of his daughter-in-law Chi Guiying's dowry, he still revealed a greedy and wicked look.

"If we had known that the autumn election would be canceled, we should have waited. With Shao Tong's abilities, he could have married not only the daughter of the Vice Minister's family, but also the daughter of the Minister's family. Unlike now, Jin Geda has become an abandoned daughter, spending her days crying in the inner quarters and not helping at all! It's infuriating!"

A hint of irritation flickered in his eyes, clearly indicating his dissatisfaction with Chi Guiying being abandoned by her family.

Even though she had already received one benefit after another from her daughter-in-law Chi Guiying, which had greatly improved the family's poverty, her Lü family was still too quiet compared to the bustling outside.

At the same time, she also regretted not having given birth to more sons. Otherwise, in this situation, wouldn't the whole family be filled with noble ladies marrying into the family? Then she, as the mother-in-law, and her daughter who was a beauty in the palace would all have received many benefits!

"Madam, don't worry. We can't have the position of the principal wife, but our young master can take concubines. I noticed that there are quite a few girls staying in Bianzhou City this time. Let's pick a few from families with simpler backgrounds and those who can provide more financial support. That way, our Lü family can also enjoy meat soup, right?"

Upon hearing this, Mother Lü's mind started working, and she looked at the old woman and praised her with a smile.

"You old codger, you've got a way with things. Alright, let's have Shao Tong choose one. Anyway, I don't think he cares much about the one in the house. If she's unruly in the future, let her suffer the same fate as her mother!"

Their malicious intentions were fully revealed, and their greedy faces were even more pronounced.

So what if she can't marry a rich girl? She can still squeeze some money out of her.

In any case, the daughters in the palace are the most important figures for the Lü family to rise to prominence. As long as there is a steady stream of wealth to be sent in, even the daughters of merchants are acceptable.

Thinking of this, he began to travel around inquiring about the kind of people among the young ladies who came from other places.

With the general election still pending, families with elders in charge naturally start looking for new partners. However, many of the young women come from other places, so some return home disappointed, while others refuse to give up.

As a result, the managers of post stations in various places made a fortune.

If the young ladies wanted to find a way out for themselves, they had to get the stewards to speak well of them in front of the ladies who came to inquire. Naturally, they had to give gifts. If the ladies wanted to know the background of the young ladies, they also had to go through the stewards to find out the inside story. Gifts were still required.

The stewards had never had such a lucrative job before, so they were overjoyed that the Crown Prince had cancelled the autumn election.

Over time, this even developed into a business: finding good husbands for the "unsuccessful" candidates. When the news reached the Crown Prince's ears, he readily opened the door and used the name of Hua Man Lou to act as a matchmaker.

Anyone with even a little inside knowledge knows that Hua Man Lou is the Crown Prince's property.

So the information was expensive, but it was guaranteed to be true. As a result, Hua Manlou made a fortune, but his reputation was not good. However, many people dared not speak out against it.

Inside the East Palace and the Wanfa Court.

The Crown Prince continued his solitary game, remaining remarkably calm, prompting Qiao Er and Hai Yu to express their admiration.

"Your Highness is truly brilliant! Your every move is a sure-fire way to make a profit. I've heard that thanks to Hua Man Lou's efforts, dozens of girls from other states have found love with local men, and every single one of them is a perfect match. Both sides are very satisfied! Hua Man Lou's reputation has soared as a result. Twelve Niang is so busy that she's developed several more laugh lines. When she saw me, she even said she wanted Your Highness to compensate her with a bottle of scar-removing gel."

Upon hearing this, the crown prince remained calm.

"I misled them about the autumn election, so it is only right to help them find suitable marriages. Tell Twelfth Sister that anyone who helps others find a good match at Flower Pavilion will receive 800 taels of silver as a dowry. My Eastern Palace treasury is not so rich that it needs to be used for decoration."

With just one sentence, Qiao Er and Hai Yu had to admire the Crown Prince's foresight.
