"What's the matter with the three hundred thousand taels of betrothal gift? It's up to the Duke of Ping to decide whether to deal with it or not. Don't drag the Marquis' Mansion into this."

"This is what my father asked me to tell you. The second thing is..."

"Whether it's the family background of the Marquis's Mansion or the family background of the Duke's Mansion, or his friendship with Duke Ping when they were young, Prince Qin's original excellence and future prospects make him a good match."

"If you are willing, we can sit down and discuss this marriage again. If you are not willing, he will never let anyone make things difficult for you in terms of marriage."

The second question is that as a father, Marquis Yong'an has taken Yuntang into consideration.

It also reminds Yuntang.

She received three hundred thousand taels to cover the cost of curing Prince Qin's illness, but Lady Pingguo was now asking for a quick marriage and even mentioned the betrothal gift, trying to change the concept and gild the reputation of the Pingguo Mansion.

She cured Prince Qin because she had to do her best to cure her future husband for her own sake. The agreed consultation fee of 300,000 taels turned into a betrothal gift of 300,000 taels.

Among the powerful families in the capital, a betrothal gift of three hundred thousand taels is not a small amount.

Three hundred thousand taels of silver is already a considerable fortune.

The wife of the Duke of Pingguo was so shrewd that the abacus beads even fell on the face of the Marquis of Yong'an!

No wonder Marquis Yong'an was so angry. He threatened Princess Kangning to divorce his wife and asked Princess Cheng to cancel the engagement.

Not a single tael of the three hundred thousand taels was given to the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion, and he was also willing to replace his daughter at will.

Jiang Yingxue was the one who was engaged back then. Either the engagement should continue with Jiang Yingxue, or the two families should cancel the engagement reasonably. There is no reason to change the bride price. It's too much of a joke!

Marquis Yong'an did not agree to the idea of ​​replacing the bride from the very beginning.

At that time, I warned Princess Kangning that Yuntang's marriage was not hers to decide! It was impossible for Jiang Yingxue to enter the East Palace!

Unexpectedly, Princess Kangning turned a deaf ear to his warning and still went her own way to discuss the marriage exchange with the wife of Duke Pingguo in private. It is no wonder that Marquis Yong'an did not give the princess face.

Today's curfew order has been made known to the entire government.

If Princess Kangning doesn't want to fight to the death, she can only endure it obediently. But with Princess Kangning's personality, will she accept this injustice?

"Second brother, tell father that I still say what I said before. My marriage will be decided by my master and fellow brothers. I am a Taoist priest and I will not get married so early."

"You all know my identity as a Qinglong Guardian, and there is no way I can be trapped in the backyard."

"Therefore, the marriage between the Marquis' Mansion and the Duke of Ping's Mansion is the Marquis' Mansion's business. Let father decide it himself, but don't involve me, and don't look for any family on my behalf."

"My three hundred thousand taels were collected by the Tianji Pavilion. Father can just send someone to ask the wife of Duke Pingguo if she has the shame!"

"If you really want to talk about a betrothal gift, you can only say it after the Marquis's Mansion sees the silver."

"I told Qin Mingyang that I would go to treat the disease when Tianji Pavilion received the 300,000 taels of silver, not a penny less. There were many people present at the time and they all heard it."

When she mentioned this, the other brothers echoed her, as they were present at the time.

Jiang Yanxuan nodded and said with a smile, "I see. Father is angry not only because they secretly exchanged the bride, but also because of the three hundred thousand taels as a betrothal gift."

"After this incident, I feel that the wife of Duke Ping is a powerful figure. If I become a daughter-in-law with such a person, my life will be difficult in the future, but..."

Jiang Yanxuan couldn't help but frown when he said this, with a hint of regret in his eyes:

"Prince Qin is still a good person. It's not just father who feels sorry for him. My elder brother and I also think so. That's why father decided to ask you. He will make his choice only after you make the choice."

"That's not necessary. I only decided to make the move for the three hundred thousand taels, and I also wanted to help the emperor. The Western Territory needs generals, so I'll save as many as I can."

Yuntang said quickly.

Jiang Yanxuan nodded: "Okay, I will explain it to my father. It's late, you should go back and rest."

After Jiang Yanxuan finished speaking, he looked at the others.

The others hurriedly said that they had almost finished walking around outside to digest their food and would go back to study, and then they all left in a swarm.

After they walked a little further away, Jiang Yanxuan lowered his voice and asked, "Tang'er, what should we do when mother is so stubborn and noisy?"

"We righteous practitioners do not kill easily, we do not kill ordinary people, and we do not kill people who are unable to fight back." Yun Tang said coldly.

It cannot be considered an iron rule of no killing, but Taoism will certainly not attack ordinary people or the weak.

Once you take action, there will be consequences for your actions, and you will have to bear the consequences.

If she could take revenge at will, she would just kill those people when she came back. Wouldn't that be great?

Who can stop it?!

She is a Taoist priest! She is a practitioner! She is in urgent need of earning merit!

Of course, this did not prevent her from pushing Princess Corning step by step to her current situation.

Apart from the old lady who avoided her and didn't care about anything, Jiang Yingxue, who was under house arrest and threatened and didn't dare to make trouble anymore...

Now, who in the entire Marquis' Mansion doesn't support her?

Go against her and try to oppress her?

Even the noble princess who was high and mighty was still so angry that she vomited blood, but she still received no sympathy from her husband and was ruthlessly confined to her house.

This is just the beginning, and it is time for Princess Corning to repay her debt!

No one knows why she was abandoned back then. Thirteen years have passed and the distance between them is so long that even if Marquis Yong'an sent people to investigate, it would be almost impossible to find out the truth.

The truth lies with Princess Corning.

The old woman who first exposed the truth had already been beaten to death. After thirteen years, whose confession could we find?

But Yuntang was clear about one thing.

Princess Corning hates her now, but it's just that she knows that her return means that her actions in the past will be exposed to the public.

Her attitude towards Princess Corning also implies that the truth of that year will eventually come to light.

Her return means that Princess Kangning's viciousness is known to everyone! It is Princess Kangning's inner demon!

Of course she doesn't care about any of this now.

She just wants to earn merit now!

Her sudden and ruthless words made Jiang Yanxuan stare at her in shock. He became speechless and his mind was in a mess.

If it weren't for the three no-killing rules for practitioners, would my sister still want to kill my mother?!

"Second brother, do you have anything else to say?" Yun Tang asked again.

Jiang Yanxuan shook his head subconsciously.

Yuntang smiled slightly and said, "Then I'll go back."

She clasped her fists and bowed to Jiang Yanxuan, then turned and walked towards Tangfeng Courtyard not far away.

She had just been talking to her brothers for a long time outside the yard, but she didn't even invite them into the yard to sit down and have a cup of hot tea or anything like that.

She just didn't want them to stay at her place and not want to leave. She had to attend evening classes, so how could she have time to chat with them?

Watching her walk into the yard calmly, Jiang Yanxuan slowly moved his eyes upwards.

The golden plaque of Tangfeng Courtyard radiated golden warmth in the night, as if the chill in the night wind was lessened a little.

Jiang Yanxuan turned around with a serious expression and hurried to the study in the front yard.
