Yang Residence.
After breakfast, Mrs. Cui looked at Yang Shicheng and asked, “Master, have you considered what 1 told you last night?
“Wanyu’s dowry cannot wait. You have to make a decision quickly.”
“Didn’t you go to the Cui family? What did they say?” Yang Shicheng hesitated and asked.
He did not want to touch the betrothal gift of King Rui unless they were really at their wit’s end.
If word got out, where would his dignity be?
“The Cui family can only take out 30,000 taels of silver, which is not even half of the First Prince’s betrothal gift.”
“30,000, isn’t that a little too little? If things really can’t be rushed, just take back the original amount of money those people borrowed and forgo the interest.
“Regardless, we need to get our cash flow back.”
Mrs. Cui was unwilling to accept this. If they only asked for the original amount, she would lose at least 30% of her profit.
However, it was true that they had to try to collect back as much of their cash flow as possible.
She could only say, “You have to think of a way to let Wanyu get married in a glorious manner.”
“Why don’t you tell Wannning and ask her to request the Third Prince for his betrothal gifts through the Gu family’s madam?”
“I can’t afford to go to the Gu family and beg them, especially when they are both younger than me.” Yang Shicheng turned around and walked out.
“Master.” Mrs. Cui quickly stood up and shouted.
However, not only did Yang Shicheng not stop, but he left as quickly as he could.
Mrs. Chui was unwilling to accept his rejection because she knew the fastest way to get enough money was to get the betrothal gifts from King Rui. Otherwise, she could not gather enough money for her daughter’s dowry.
At the thought of this, she immediately got up, went to Madam Cui, and mentioned this to her.
Madam Cui was also reluctant after hearing this. She could ignore Yang Wanning’s life and death, but not her son’s dignity. If news of this were to spread, would Yang Shicheng still have a foothold in the imperial court?
However, when she thought of Yang Wanyu, she also remembered their true backer, the First Prince.
For a moment, Madam Cui struggled to make a decision.
“Aunt, don’t hesitate anymore. Once Yang Wanning marries off, it will be too late.” Seeing that her aunt was still not relenting, Mrs. Cui urged her.
“Why don’t you call her over and ask her about it?” Madam Cui hesitated for a moment but eventually agreed.
Mrs. Cui immediately sent someone to call Yang Wanning.
At the same time, Yang Wanning, who was about to leave, also received news of this through her channels. After learning that Mrs. Cui had gone to look for Madam Cui, she smiled sarcastically. “Mrs. Cui really loves her daughter.
“For Yang Wanyu, she dared to go against my father’s wishes.”
“Miss, do you still have the mood to joke around? You should think about how to deal with this.” Chunxi shuffled her feet nervously.
“Why should I deal with it? Since Mrs. Cui has repeatedly mentioned this matter, it seems that she has made up her mind about King Rui’s betrothal gift.
“Why don’t I push their boat to flow with the current and send her on her way?”
“But, this way, your reputation will be ruined.”
“It’s not just my reputation that’s affected. I’m sure the one who will be the most angry will be my father.”
“What if the old master blames you…”
“We have a shield.” Yang Wanning had just ended her sentence when a series of footsteps could be heard.
Chun Xi was stunned for a moment, but quickly understood what she meant and smiled.
After the person came in and expressed his intention, Yang Wanning nodded and said, “Just in time. We have to pay our respects to the old madam. Let’s hurry over.”
After saying that, she left her courtyard.
After entering another courtyard, Yang Wanning glanced at the people present and bowed. “Greetings, Grandmother, Mother, Auntie Ning, Sister Wanyu, and Sister Wanru.”
“Have a seat,” Madam Cui said.
She looked at Madam Ning and said, “You and your daughter can go back now. We have something to talk about.”
She looked at Wanyu and said, “You go out too..”
