Lady Pingguo was also annoyed at this time, but she retorted unconvincedly: "It's not my fault about the marriage exchange! It was Princess Kangning who proposed it in the first place!"

"But has the Marquis of Yong'an agreed? The Marquis's Mansion has come to cancel the engagement, so just do it. As long as you can cure your elder brother, you can have any noble lady you want!"

Qin Mingyang was so angry that he paced back and forth in the room. He turned his head to look at his mother and wanted to curse, but he couldn't. He could only swallow back the anger that was about to come out of his mouth.

He had told his eldest brother about this happy event, but no one dared to let his eldest brother know about the cancellation of the engagement and the emperor's enthronement.

The eldest brother didn't want to exchange wives. He ignored everyone for the past two days and could hardly eat. He went to talk to his eldest brother, but he just didn't say a word and was in a daze.

The servant who took care of the eldest brother said that he was always drinking alone and looked haggard and lonely.

He was such an outstanding elder brother, but now he has been tortured into this state!

Just when I finally saw hope, my mother started to make shrewd calculations again, which ended up ruining the reputation of the Duke's Mansion and causing the Emperor to be displeased. Until now, he has not been willing to quickly count out the silver and send it to the Tianji Pavilion.

Is money more important than big brother’s health?

"If only my father were home!"

Seeing his mother sitting there with a dark face and looking very depressed, not saying anything and not making any decisions, Qin Mingyang scratched his head with both hands in a state of frustration, and suddenly squatted on the ground and started to cry.

He didn't understand. Before, there was no way and he could only endure it. But now there is a way and someone can cure it. Shouldn't his mother be the most active one to get the money?

"Humph, if your father were at home, he would definitely go to find Yong'an Hou to argue with him!"

When Lady Pingguo heard her son insulting her like that, she couldn't help but wipe away her tears and said angrily.

"Can you please stop saying these useless words? Isn't the most important thing right now to cure big brother's illness?"

Seeing that his mother was complaining but not getting to the point at all, Qin Mingyang became angry and stood up suddenly.

"Since mother is reluctant to part with the three hundred thousand taels and insists on making trouble with the Yong'an Marquisate, I will go and ask the emperor to order the Ministry of War to send a message to father."

"As long as father agrees to take out three hundred thousand taels, mother, you can't stop me!"

The young man felt sorry for his elder brother, his eyes were red, and his words were a little careless.

"You bastard, rebellious son, how dare you talk to me like that!" Seeing her son jumping up and down with a bad attitude, Lady Pingguo was so angry that she slammed the table and cursed.

Qin Mingyang cried and said, "Mother's reputation is more important than my brother's life! From now on, mother will live for your reputation!"

After Qin Mingyang shouted, he turned and ran out.

"Come back! When did I stop curing your elder brother, you bastard!"

The wife of Duke Pingguo hurriedly called for someone to stop Qin Mingyang who was running away.

Qin Mingyang also practiced martial arts since he was a child, but he lived in the halo of his elder brother's "young hero" since he was a child, and no one knew that he was also very skilled.

More than a dozen guards from the Duke's Mansion went there at once, but they were unable to stop this tiger-like young man in front of the Duke's Mansion's gate.

Qin Mingyang did not go directly to the palace to ask for an audience with the emperor, but ran to his maternal grandfather's house to complain.

The maiden family of the wife of Duke Pingguo is the Xu family, a third-rank general of Wuwei. In the past two days, everyone in the Xu family was very happy about the news that the legitimate daughter of Marquis Yong'an was able to cure Qin Mingyu.

However, the next day, news came out about the marriage exchange and the cancellation of the engagement by the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion.

The Xu family cursed the Yong'an Marquisate for being snobbish while worrying about their eldest grandson.

This was the most exciting thing in the capital yesterday.

Today, the most talked about topic in the capital this morning was that Miss Jiang was actually named the Princess Protector of the Nation, which left countless people unable to react.

By the afternoon, the hot topic that was being spread all over the capital was only left with one thing.

The blessing ceremony at Yunshang Temple is really amazing! It really works!

Everyone seems to have forgotten what to do next with the marriage exchange?

When the Xu family saw Qin Mingyang running over crying late at night, they didn't know what had happened and were almost alarmed, and hurried to Old Lady Xu's yard.

Qin Mingyang cried and talked about what his mother had done.

Although he was already a young man, he was still a spoiled child when he came in front of his grandmother, and cried very aggrievedly.

"Mother is too calculating. She actually wants to use the 300,000 taels of silver for medical treatment as a betrothal gift. That's why the Yong'an Marquisate wants to cancel the engagement."

"Mother is still trying to get something for nothing and is insisting on the marriage with the Marquis."

"Why doesn't she think about how hard it was for Big Brother to endure for so long? Now that someone can treat him, why is she still dragging her feet?"

"Grandfather, I am a nobody and my words carry no weight. Can you please ask the Emperor tomorrow to send a message to the Western Territory and let my father make the decision?"

Qin Mingyang looked eagerly at General Xu, who was sitting beside him with a sullen expression.

After hearing what his grandson said, General Xu was indeed very angry at his daughter's short-sightedness.

What could be more important than a young general with a bright future?

As long as Mingyu is well, what's the point of having a marriage?

She had to get entangled in marriage at this critical moment when Mingyu had someone to treat him but had not yet been cured, which would hurt others and herself.

The Marquis' Mansion has no shame, but does the Duke's Mansion have shame?

It’s really hard to carry!

Madam Xu glanced at the old man with an anxious look on her face and knew that he was angry.

She thought for a moment and suggested, "Wouldn't it be too slow to send news to the West?"

"Why not ask the emperor tomorrow? Three hundred thousand taels is too expensive. Can it be cheaper? Our Xu family can also help to cushion the cost."

As long as their grandson can get better, the Xu family can still share some of the money. The Duke Ping's Mansion is not short of this money.

General Xu pondered for a moment, glanced at his two sons sitting beside him, and slowly said:

"The Emperor said at the morning court today that this three hundred thousand taels is in accordance with the rules of the Tianji Pavilion, and it is not expensive! You have done a great service! Who are you slapping in the face by asking the Emperor to give you a lower price?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Xu's body stiffened and her expression became somewhat embarrassed.

She had heard about this from the old man, but she had forgotten it now.

"That Miss Jiang is now the Princess Protector of the Nation appointed by the Emperor. She is the Heavenly Master Yun Xuantang, and she is currently presiding over a blessing ceremony at the Yunshang Temple." General Xu continued.

"I ran a little slower today, and when I got to the bottom of the mountain, I was stopped and not allowed to enter the temple. I don't know what's going on inside the temple, but Yu'er's illness can't be delayed."

"Let's go to Yunshang Temple early tomorrow to see if we can meet Yun Xuantang. Let's not talk about marriage, because this marriage is probably not something the Marquis's Mansion can decide."

"Madam, please count the accounts in the mansion first. No matter if it is 300,000 taels, 100,000 taels, or 200,000 taels, count the cash first."

"If it's not enough, go to the bank to exchange it. If it's still too late, borrow some from your relatives first, and send it to Tianji Pavilion as soon as possible. Send as much as you can first, and be sincere to show our willingness to treat Yu'er."

As for the subsequent scolding of the stupid daughter and the question of when the Duke Pingguo's Mansion would take out the money, those are all later stories.

Now we must not let the marriage exchange affect Yuer's medical treatment.
