In his words, Chunfen expressed some dissatisfaction with this aunt who came to visit suddenly.

Who would come to my house without saying hello?

Even if it is the master's legitimate uncle's family, this is not the case.

Qin Yaoguang thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid he's here to beg for mercy."

plead?

Chunfen and Guyu looked at each other, neither of them understood.

Qin Yaoguang didn't say much, and said, "Please ask her to go to Mingguang Hall."

According to etiquette, as they are both female members of the family and relatives, she can just meet the eldest lady in Huamu Hall.

But she chose Mingguang Hall to receive foreign guests.

Wang held the teacup in her hand, her mind as clear as a mirror.

But no matter what, the eldest princess has the blood of the Ningguo Mansion flowing in her body, and even if her bones are broken, her tendons are still connected.

If it were someone else, they wouldn't even be able to get through the door if they asked for a meeting so rashly.

Right now, it's good enough.

All I could hear was the tinkling of bells and the sound of footsteps approaching from afar.

Wang quickly stood up and went to the door.

"Your Highness has greeted Her Royal Highness the Princess. May Your Highness be well and safe."

"Get up."

Qin Yaoguang held Guyu's hand, walked past her without looking at her, and sat down on the main seat at the top.

Wang smiled bitterly in her heart.

As her aunt, she has lost all her face in front of the eldest princess.

But what can we do?

Forced by her parents-in-law, she had no choice but to make this trip.

I know it's annoying, but there's nothing I can do about it.

However, she had thought it through carefully before coming here, but when she was in front of the eldest princess, she didn't know how to start.

She didn't say anything, so Qin Yaoguang slowly sipped the fragrant tea in his mouth, gently blowing away the foam on the tea, and left her alone.

An uninvited guest suddenly came to the house, and he expected her to take the initiative to lower the ladder?

Think beautiful!

After being left out by Qin Yaoguang for a long time, Wang had no choice but to get straight to the point: "Your Highness, I came here to respond to Marquis Boyuan's request. Please spare his wife and young son."

After listening to this, Qin Yaoguang slowly put down the teacup.

Suddenly he laughed out loud.

"aunt."

She said in a contemptuous tone, "Don't you know that if you send me a letter first, I won't see you, so you came here without telling me?"

Wang's face suddenly turned red.

She was the eldest lady of the Ningguo Mansion, the sister-in-law of the empress dowager. No matter where she went, people looked up to her and called her "eldest lady".

When have you ever suffered such humiliation?

She was secretly annoyed: this niece, relying on her status as the eldest princess, now looks down on her relatives even more.

Why bother stating something that you already know?

And last time, for a mere fifty taels of silver, he had the nerve to ask her for it, and even deliberately cut off her source of income.

Look at the princess's mansion, with all the food, drinks and daily necessities. Does she have to be so picky about a mere fifty taels?

Not to mention what happened far away, do you really think she doesn't know what's going on in Princess Chunning's mansion?

The ransom was often fifty or a hundred taels of gold.

She's made a fortune, right?!

Feeling resentful, Wang's face couldn't help showing some anger. She pulled her sleeves and said nothing.

It's not that she doesn't know how to hide, she just doesn't want to hide.

She is still an elder after all!

Qin Yaoguang took in all the changes in her facial expression and sneered in his heart.

This time, Marquis Boyuan invited the wrong person.

From the wife of Marquis Boyuan to Mrs. Wang, every one of them did not have the proper attitude when asking for help.

It seemed that as long as they lowered their proud heads, they would have their way.

Qin Yaoguang just wouldn't tolerate it.

"If you have nothing else to say, aunt, please go back."

Qin Yaoguang said as she was about to leave her seat: "I don't have the time to waste my time here with you."

When Wang heard this, she panicked.

She didn't care about being embarrassed at the moment, she turned around and scolded the maid behind her: "What are you still standing there for? You tactless thing, why don't you present the gift list of the Marquis' Mansion to His Highness?"

Qin Yaoguang's expression eased a little and he sat back down.

This lady, if you don't show some respect to her, she won't know what's good for her.

Guyu opened the gift list of Marquis Boyuan's mansion, and the long page was filled with gifts.

However, although it looks rich, it is actually shabby.

If you count all the marquisates in the capital, you won’t find another marquisate that can give out such a gift list.

Things like bacon pickled with jujubes from Yuzhou, flat silk from Suzhou, and felt carpets from the Western Regions, may look nice, but they are all common goods that can be bought everywhere in the market.

There are also two heavy boxes of books.

In order to make the gift list look long enough, the name of each book in it is listed.

From the enlightenment "Three Character Classic", "Thousand Character Classic", "Youxue Qionglin" to the Four Books and Five Classics and other classics, but these are only a small part, and there are even two laws of the Da Jing Dynasty.

The various storybooks used to make up the numbers are the majority.

It’s not that it’s not valuable.

Qin Yaoguang believed that Bo Yuanhou would not dare to fool her with some old and inferior products.

It just lacks sincerity.

You know, the money for Dong Haoyuan's redemption was a full one hundred taels of gold.

Now, there is also the wife of Marquis Boyuan, who is imprisoned in the prison of Zongzheng Temple.

Among all these gifts, there was not a single precious thing.

She made a rough estimate in her mind and found that it was less than ten taels of gold.

Even Guyu could see the hidden intention in this gift list and concealed his contempt.

The family of dukes and marquises is nothing more than this.

Even if you can't come up with a hundred taels of gold, you have to show some sincerity.

Qin Yaoguang gestured to Guyu to accept the gift list, looked at Wang, and asked bluntly, "Aunt, is the Boyuan Marquis's mansion so poor now?"

Wang was stunned at first, then she felt relieved and began to complain.

Complaining, that's her comfort zone.

All I could hear was her sighing, "Your Highness, you are a daughter of a rich family, you don't know how hard we work. Outsiders think that we are all glamorous and beautiful. We are just holding on."

"I can only speak the truth in front of you. But when meeting outsiders, don't I have to maintain this dignity?"

With just one sentence, Qin Yaoguang was put into her own camp. Wang secretly glanced at her expression and continued speaking.

"The situation of the Boyuan Marquis's Mansion is far worse than that of our Cui Family. Where can they find the 100 taels of gold? If they really had it, they would have paid it long ago. Why would they let the Fifth Young Master suffer in vain?"

Qin Yaoguang didn't like the moment she heard the words "suffering in vain".

"According to what my aunt said, I am the one who is making trouble without reason?"

Wang pursed her lips.

That's exactly what she thought.

How big of a deal is it?

In this capital city, whoever is a prominent person in the outside world does not have a group of concubines and drinks wine from time to time?

It's not a big deal for this man to be a little romantic.

But when it came to Chunning, Le Yang insisted on making a big deal out of this matter.

He also took the opportunity to ask for a ransom, which brought shame to the royal family!

However, she would not say that in front of Qin Yaoguang, and said patiently: "Your Highness, how can it be unreasonable to educate their useless children? I definitely don't mean that."

"I just want to forgive others when I can. No matter how bad the Marquis Boyuan's mansion is, it is still the elder of the Prince Consort. It would be bad if things got out of hand."

Qin Yaoguang narrowed his eyes, and a dangerous gleam flashed in his eyes.
