Female student: I'm sorry, the prince is mine.

"Qing'er, what are you thinking about? Tell me quickly." When the Third Aunt heard Nanshan Qing's words "That's exactly what I want", her heart began to beat.

The mother and daughter were originally following the Fourth Aunt and Nanshan Xi to get a share of the spoils. Although the people in Nanyue were relatively open-minded, they were, after all, the concubines and illegitimate daughters of a merchant's family, and they did not have many choices.

Although Bai Wuyin was a playboy, he had fewer concubines in the backyard than Nanshan Yun. Just looking at the amount of the betrothal gift, the Third Aunt felt that they were also a very wealthy family.

She herself was the daughter of a businessman and had met many scholars. In her eyes, if a woman had money, she could save herself a lot of trouble and many problems could be solved by spending money.

She knew why her Qing'er was called "Goddess of Heaven".

"Aunt, Qing'er doesn't really want to marry Bai Wuyin. I think it would be better to marry a scholar. At least, he will respect me because I am rich."

The third aunt thought about it and agreed. Look at her master. Although he is now the richest man in Langzhou, when it comes to respect and love, well, it’s better not to mention it.

In the early years, she used money to build Nanshan Yun's family, but what happened later? A fourth concubine came in, and Nanshan Xi, that child, was also willing to make a fuss.

She admitted that both mother and daughter were capable and that she and her daughter were not as smart or as resourceful as them, so Nanshan Yun's favor for her was biased.

Moreover, although the fourth aunt's family was only a small county official, they still received a lot of support from Nanshan Yun.

So, what Qing'er said makes sense. At least, having a husband who is a government official is a source of pride.

Seeing that Third Aunt was in deep thought, Nanshan Qing continued, "When the mistress passed away, given Dad's face-conscious personality, he would definitely hold a grand ceremony and ask us to observe mourning for three years to show the dignity of Nanshan Mansion.

If my daughter gets an opportunity during these three years, that would be great. If not, then she will just be a good wife of the Bai family."

The Third Aunt looked at her daughter's determined expression and nodded: "Alright, anyway, I don't think the Master of the Bai family is someone who is easy to get along with."

Since her daughter has the title of "Goddess of Heaven", she might as well take this opportunity to try her luck. If she can really marry a man who has entered the officialdom, the Bai family will not say anything. As for the betrothal gift, she can just return it. Anyway, she is not short of money.

When the Third Aunt thought of her brothers from her natal family who had tried to snatch the family property, she felt indescribable sadness in her heart, but fortunately, she had accumulated a lot over the years.

The next day, at daybreak, the housekeeper went to each courtyard to report to Nanshan Yun and the concubines who were still unaware of the situation.

Originally, everyone was very tired because of last night's trouble and was very dissatisfied with the housekeeper, but after hearing the housekeeper's explanation, everyone opened their eyes wide and suddenly woke up.

What? Someone from the palace came to announce the decree? Who in your family has won the favor of the palace?

Nanshan Yun first thought of his son Nanshan Yu who was studying in the academy. The fourth concubine raised her lips, thinking that it was her own son-in-law: the magistrate's legitimate son had gained face in front of the noble and asked for some grace for her. The third concubine, on the other hand, was focused and yawned secretly. Anyway, she was the only one in this mansion who could be related to the people who entered the officialdom.

At this time, on the street outside Nanshan Mansion, people who got up early to work were attracted by a group of dazzling nobles. They stood side by side in two long lines. At the front of the line were the Xiling envoy and the eunuch Xiao Liuzi.

Just as the roadside breakfast vendors were muttering to themselves, everyone had already stopped outside the Nanshan Mansion's gate, which had already been opened. The eunuch leading everyone walked in front and stepped into the gate.

There was already a large group of people kneeling in the yard. Xiao Liuzi raised his eyelids and saw Nanshan You standing behind the group of people kneeling, so he unfolded the imperial edict and began to read it.

After the imperial edict was read, Nanshan stepped forward and took it.

Nanshan Yun and the Fourth Aunt, who were kneeling on the ground, had the worst expressions on their faces. Nanshan Yun really didn't expect that this unlucky star could be named a princess. Then he suddenly realized that he seemed to have been cuckolded?

Unfortunately, even though he was extremely angry, he couldn't show it.

"Princess, when are you going to move in? I'll arrange for someone to help you move."

"You are joking, envoy. Our prince has already prepared all the necessary items. Princess, you can just pack up some important things and move in directly."

Xiao Liuzi bowed towards Nanshan and said.

"Thank you very much for your grace, Your Highness." The envoy thanked him and came to Nanshan: "Princess, when will you go to your mansion? Madam Caiyi and I will help you take care of it."

"it is good."

Nanshan looked at the amiable envoy and the colorful-clothed nanny in front of him and nodded.

"The prince ordered us to help the princess pack her luggage and move to the princess's mansion today."

"This... Sir, you don't know that the mistress of the mansion has just passed away. The brothers and sisters in the mansion need to eat vegetarian food, let their hair down, and wear mourning for three years to show their remembrance."

Suddenly, the voice of the Fourth Aunt was heard in the corner, timid but audible enough for everyone in the yard to hear.

"Where did you come from, you wild chicken? Do you have the right to speak?" Caiyi Mammy looked down upon her shy appearance. She had just said that the mistress had passed away, so this girl was at most a concubine. Naturally, she could scold her at will.

What about the fact that all the children of Nanshan Mansion have to wear mourning clothes? She got even angrier when she heard this. Their princess has never even seen her own mother. Who could have blamed her for this?

Caiyi Mammy sneered, "How can a low-class merchant's house arrange funeral affairs for my princess? A lowly child-stealing thief doesn't even have the qualifications for my princess to raise her eyelids!"

She had already gone to the city to inquire about it. There was a coquettish bitch in Nanshan Mansion, and her daughter had robbed their princess's fiancé. At a glance, she knew that this was definitely the bitch.

Madam Caiyi's eyes turned cold: "Are all the people in charge of your family dead? You let a servant speak here? There is no manners at all! Come on, slap him in the face!"

The envoy immediately pulled Xiao Liuzi's sleeve. They came in a hurry and did not bring many people. Although they had secret guards, they were in the territory of South Vietnam after all, so it was not convenient for them to do anything.

Xiao Liuzi felt the gravity on his sleeves, stretched out his hand and waved, and two strong maids came out from behind the team. One of them stood beside the Fourth Aunt, and began to teach her the rules with their arms swinging.

"Let's go and help the princess pack her things! Except for those who need to learn the etiquette, everyone else can leave." Xiao Liuzi said loudly. Except for the envoy who was sitting comfortably in the armchair prepared by the housekeeper and the two maids who were still teaching the fourth concubine how to behave in the outer courtyard, everyone else went to the Nanshan courtyard.

When everyone came out carrying Nanshan's books, Nanshan Yun and Fourth Aunt were still kneeling in the yard. Fourth Aunt was still being beaten. Nanshan Yun didn't dare to say anything and could only kneel beside them and accompany them.

"Tsk. What a good-for-nothing!" Xiao Liuzi rolled his eyes, helped Nanshan onto the carriage, and a large group of people drove away.

During the morning court session that day, the imperial edict was issued, and the story of Nanshan You spread throughout the capital, and soon the rumor reached Langzhou.

"Is this true? Did a real phoenix appear in our Langzhou?"

"That's right. My uncle's youngest son's eldest cousin's brother's wife's eldest brother-in-law runs a breakfast stall on that street. He saw with his own eyes that the gates of Nanshan Mansion were wide open to welcome the distinguished guest. That concubine was even slapped in the face by two burly maids for a whole morning because of her rude words!"

"Ah? That must be so painful!"

"Who told her to be so unruly! She actually wanted the dignified Princess Xiling to mourn for his mistress. What a dream."

"That's right. If a mere businessman from their family can ask the princess to observe mourning, then my cousin who is an official in the capital can ask the king of heaven to wash his feet, right?"

"Brother Li, what you said makes a lot of sense!"

A few of them walked through the streets and alleys of Langzhou, chatting and laughing.
