Chapter 417 The Frustrated Emperor

Cui Yudie looked at them arrogantly and explained through gritted teeth, "Mother, I am doing this for the good of the Cheng family! I have already inquired about it. Like the master, a sixth-grade official in the capital will give a bride price of at least two hundred taels, and sixty taels. ? Send the beggar away? If I were a princess, I would definitely regret my marriage in front of the emperor!

In order for our Cheng family to avoid being reprimanded by the emperor, you should be more patient. Don't worry, if selling the valuable things in your courtyard is not enough, we will consider selling people! If you are so poor, there is no need to keep any concubines. Wouldn't it be better to sell everything you can? "

“How dare you!” Mrs. Cheng glared at Cui Yudie with a ferocious face, wishing to tear her apart.

Aunt Sun, on the other hand, turned pale with fright, trembled all over, and her eyes kept turning to think of countermeasures.

Cui Yudie smiled in relief, and withdrew in a hurry with a group of people, leaving Yishou Hall in a mess.

"What a crime! What a crime!" Mrs. Cheng cried loudly.

Aunt Sun panicked and shouted: "Hurry! Come back to find the master quickly! Mother, what should I do if my sister is sold?"

"Don't be afraid! As long as I'm here, she doesn't dare to do anything to you!" Mrs. Cheng hugged Aunt Sun and comforted her: "Although you are a concubine, you are still a good citizen. She is just scaring you."

In addition to Aunt Sun, the Cheng family also had several inconspicuous concubines. Some of them were bought by Cui Yudie from outside and were themselves slaves, and some were maids who climbed into the bed. Cui Yudie was happy to fight with Aunt Sun and never dealt with them.

Aunt Sun thought of the Dong family case that had caused a lot of commotion. It was because the head of the Dong family secretly sold a member of the clan, and as a result, the entire Dong family was defeated.

With this thought, she felt a little more at ease. When she saw the ransacked house, she cried again, "Mom, what should I do if my sister has emptied the yard?"

Just as he was talking, Cheng Dongjiang rushed in and saw his old mother and his favorite concubine hugging each other pitifully. He was so angry that he went to Cui Yudie's yard and learned that Cui Yudie was taking those belongings. He entered the **** shop, chased him out, and stopped him halfway.

“Ms. Cui, have you made enough trouble?” Cheng Dongjiang clenched his fist tightly. If there weren’t so many people on the street, he would have punched Cui Yudie directly.

Cui Yudie snorted coldly, not afraid at all, "Master, what am I doing? Our family wants to be the master, and we can only give out sixty taels of betrothal gift. Do you know this?"

Cheng Dongjiang's expression changed suddenly. Seeing the people around him pointing at him, his face turned red and he suppressed his anger. "What nonsense! How could we only give sixty taels of betrothal gift?"

"Oh? That means I heard it wrong? Then how much do you want me to give as a betrothal gift? That's a princess! Although our family is a small family, we can't neglect her, right? We don't have eight thousand taels, so we have to make up for it. Give me five or six thousand taels!" Cui Yudie refused and insisted on Cheng Dongjiang expressing his position on the spot.

Cheng Dongjiang's eyes turned red, "Are you crazy? I can't even get five or six thousand taels if I try!"

Cui Yudie spread her hands, "Then there's nothing we can do! Everyone is here today, and it just so happens that the people can see that our Cheng family has sold everything we can for the Lord. We are sincere, and Princess Wuya must be the same." A considerate person will definitely understand!”

As he said that, while Cheng Dongjiang was stunned, Cui Yudie had already carried some messy things into the **** shop. Cheng Dongjiang didn't say a word until the pawnshop owner exchanged the things for silver and handed them to Cui Yudie.

The couple returned to Cheng's house.

Mrs. Cheng and Aunt Sun rushed out and accused Cui Yudie.

Cui Yudie snorted arrogantly and walked away without looking back.

"Dongjiang, look, this is the noble girl you married! Unfilial, kind and unjust! She is a bitch!" Mrs. Cheng was so angry that she couldn't help but speak.

Cheng Dongjiang rubbed his brows tiredly, "Mother, forget it! That's it, let's just wait until the princess comes in!"

Just now he wanted to break up with Cui Yudie on the street, but after hearing what Cui Yudie said, he suddenly changed his mind. Although pawning things is embarrassing, it can let the world know that he is honest, and the Cheng family treats Princess Wuya absolutely seriously. Even if they can't get a decent betrothal gift later, no one will laugh at him, they will only sympathize and pity him.

This marriage is a marriage granted by the emperor. The emperor cannot really ignore it. In this way, the loss today will definitely be made up from other places.

Cui Yudie made such a fuss, which completely made the Cheng family famous.

After hearing the news, Mrs. Tang and Ms. Wang did not dare to go out to socialize.

"My family is unfortunate, my family is unfortunate! How come such a bad thing happened!" Mrs. Tang beat her chest and stamped her feet.

Ms. Wang gritted her teeth with a sullen face, "Mother, she is forcing us to pay for it!"

People outside have no idea that Cui Yudie and the Cui family have fallen out. Now that the Cheng family is selling their property for the sake of the Lord, the Cui family is indifferent and will inevitably be criticized.

Mrs. Mingsan said calmly from the side, "Sister-in-law, don't be angry. I heard what you said about the Chengqing Palace. The emperor must be tired of the Cheng family and treats Princess Wuya as a hot potato. He must want Princess Wuya more than anyone else." She got married smoothly, so even if the Cheng family didn't say anything, the emperor would still give it, but Yudie made a big fuss, and the emperor might be very angry when he found out!

"Yes! Ying'er is right, we don't care, not anymore!" Tang said harsh words while crying.

In the palace.

Wing Xiaoyao told the emperor the news outside the palace as interesting stories.

The emperor paused for a moment after placing down his pen, and frowned, "Are you saying that Mrs. Cheng Cui sold off her property in order to collect the betrothal gift? What does she think of me? A foolish emperor who makes things difficult for his ministers?"

King Xiaoyao looked at his nose, his nose and his heart, and sneered twice, "Brother, you also sent people to check the Cheng Cui family. You are just a bastard. Why are the two daughters of Mr. Cui, the Taishi Ling, so different?" Woolen cloth?"

If it weren’t for the powerful Mrs. Mingsan in the Cui family, King Xiaoyao would have questioned the upbringing of the girl from the Cui family.

The emperor was so angry that he called Dekang and ordered: "Go to the queen and ask her to prepare a betrothal gift for Princess Wuya and send it to the Cheng family."

“Brother Emperor! You are too talkative! Is this a betrothal gift?” King Xiaoyao looked at him sideways.

The emperor snorted coldly, lowered his head and continued to review the memorial. He wrote the word "forbearance" on the paper, but the dot on the edge of the knife was missing.

King Xiaoyao shuddered and said nothing more.

Along with the betrothal gift, there was also an imperial edict that set the wedding date of Cheng Hong and Princess Wuya on August 26th.

Cheng Dongjiang brought his whole family out to receive the order, and his eyes widened when he saw the betrothal gift list.

Dekang had a clear view of the Cheng family's reaction, with an imperceptible sneer at the corner of his mouth, and he held his airs just right, "Master Cheng, knowing the situation of the Cheng family, the emperor will definitely not be able to come up with a betrothal gift that can match Princess Wuya. So I specially arranged a copy for the Cheng family. I originally thought that the Zajia family would deliver it when the day was approaching, but since Mrs. Cheng couldn't wait any longer.

The Queen has sent people to deliver things in advance. You have to keep this gift list. Princess Wuya also has a copy. There is also a copy in the palace and the government office. They all have backups. You have to take care of the things. Don't make any mistakes, otherwise it will be a matter of destroying your family and losing your head! "
