Yao Sisi turned around and said to her uncle, "Since Cui Cui has come, I think it's better if I follow her to her room and say some intimate words. Does Imperial Uncle mind?"
"The Fourth Princess is overthinking it, Cui Cui will properly entertain the Fourth Princess for uncle." The country's uncles immediately agreed, and glanced at Leng Cui Cui, hoping that she could restrain her temper. Leng Cui nodded her head, "Uncle, don't worry."
Ying'er reached out a hand to lead the way. "Fourth Princess, this way please."
They arrived at Leng Cui's room. Yao Sisi waved her ingot to follow, and Leng Cui let go of the imprint. The two of them were the only ones left in the room. Leng Cui took off her cute camouflage, looked at Yao Sisi and snappily said, "Fourth Princess, why are you looking for me here? Did you think you didn't embarrass me enough last time? "
Yao Sisi wore a smile on her face. "I was in the wrong last time. This wangfei came this time to discuss the matter of the Fourth Prince marrying you."
"What did you say?" The Fourth Prince wishes to marry me. " Leng Cui's eyes shone, her entire person was like a pearl in the middle of the night as she clamored.
"Yes, but on one condition. As long as little sister Leng agrees, I will marry you into my family on behalf of the prince. " Yao Sisi's face was filled with confidence as she looked at Leng Cui, who was tempted by her, and inwardly, she was laughing heartily. Leng Cui anxiously grabbed Yao Sisi and asked eagerly, "Is what you said true?"
"Of course, but only if you agree to this wangfei's request." Yao Sisi wasn't here just to tell Leng Cui Cui the good news. She was someone who had a grudge against her, someone who would take whatever she could get.
Leng Cui woke up from her reverie with a frown on her face. "What condition?"
"The condition is very simple. If you want to become a lord of the Fourth Marquis' estate, you have to pay a price. This wangfei isn't greedy, and recently, this wangfei has been a little short on money and wants to ask her sister for some silver taels."
Leng Cui stared coldly at Yao Sisi, the unwillingness on her face clearly showing that she was accusing her of something. She knew Yao Sisi was not as kind as she thought. However, after thinking about it for a while, she decided that she would have more opportunities when she wanted more. She smiled and said, "From what Princess Consort said, I wonder how much money Princess Consort wants?"
Yao Sisi put down the jade vase in her hand and stretched out a finger. "Not much, not much. It's only three thousand taels."
"Three thousand!" You might as well go and snatch it. " It wasn't that Leng Cui was unable to take out that much money, but that she really wasn't a rich person. Where would her uncle be able to give her any excess silver taels for the official? Her silver taels were what she had saved up every time she went to the palace to get them from the empress dowager's elder sister. If she gave them all to Yao Sisi, she wouldn't have much left. Naturally, she was shocked by Yao Sisi's big mouth.
Yao Sisi looked at Leng Cui's emotionless face and guessed that the price she offered was a little high. Hence, she said slowly, "Since little sister thinks that's a lot, then I'll give you two thousand silvers." She also showed that this was the result of her biggest concession.
Leng Cui gritted her teeth and walked to the bedside. She took out a small box and took out twenty banknotes, reluctantly handing them to Yao Sisi. She seemed to be afraid that Yao Sisi would go back on her word, "Fourth Princess won't go back on her word, right?"
In fact, Yao Sisi had thought of leaving without trusting her money, but the punishment for doing so was too light. The vixen in front of her wanted to take someone's life at any time, so she smiled, "Are you doubting this wangfei's honesty? "If that's the case, then take this banknote and pretend I didn't say anything. This wangfei expects many people to be willing to pay this price." With that, he turned to leave.
Leng Cui was extremely anxious. She grabbed Yao Sisi's arm and smiled. "Fourth Wangfei, you're thinking too much. I didn't mean it that way. I'll just treat these banknotes as my little sister's filial piety. Elder sister, please accept them quickly!"
On the surface, Yao Sisi happily accepted the money, but in her heart, she was looking down on Leng Cui's actions. She really was a shameless woman, to recognize herself as a younger sister so quickly, for the sake of money, I'll let her taste the results of her dreams, hehe.
The firecrackers urged them on why the bride had not come out yet.
Early in the morning, the Imperial Aunt heard the noise coming from outside the door and came out to find a small red sedan chair. Outside of the four sedan bearers, there were five men holding a suona and madly blowing on it, attracting a large crowd of onlookers.
"What's going on?"
A servant whispered into the ear of the country's uncle, "Master, these people said that they are here to take Miss to the Fourth Prince's Mansion to be his concubine."
"What?" The Imperial Aunt was very shocked, but he did not expect anyone to do it so blatantly, there must be something behind it, and with that thought he remembered that two days ago the Fourth Princess had come to his house and talked to his niece for a long time. It seemed that he needed to ask Cui Cui what exactly was going on. Just as he turned around with a dark face, wanting to find Leng Cui Cui for verification, Leng Cui Cui walked out with the support of her maid seal.
Ying'er bowed, "Ying'er greets the old master."
"Wh-what are you guys doing?"
Leng Cui raised her head and looked at her uncle, saying bashfully: "Uncle, it's Cui Cui's fault, I didn't tell you."
The country's uncle raised his fist, his face ashen. "How can you degrade yourself like this! If you insist on being her concubine, I won't beat you to death today!"
Leng Cui's joyous expression suddenly froze. She turned her head to look outside, only to discover that there were only nine people who were there to escort the bride. She tore off the top of her head and went down angrily, grabbing a sedan bearer.
"How could I be a concubine?"
The palanquin bearer was frightened by Leng Cui, and stammered: "I don't know."
When one of the men among the firecrackers saw that Leng Cui had come out, he said to the crowd, "The bride has already come out. Please come up on stage!"
"I'm not going." "How can I just follow you guys so simply and call out to you, the fourth wangfei, to come out? Did she say she's going to set me up for a brand-new wedding?"
She smiled and said, "Calm down, bride. My wife has said that this is a new marriage. More than half of the people in the capital will remember you." Seeing that it's almost time, I think the bride should hurry up and get on the palanquin. Don't miss the auspicious time, it's bad luck. "
Leng Cui looked at the sneering eyes of the crowd, she angrily threw the hood in her hands onto the ground, then turned around and walked back.
"I won't marry."
"If the bride insists on doing so, we can only go back and report. If the bride goes back on her word, we won't have a chance." The head of the firecracker called to the bearers as they lifted the empty palanquin and walked back.
Furthermore, she did not want to give up this opportunity to enter the Fourth Prince's Mansion. Of course, she hated Yao Sisi even more. She swore to herself that as long as she did not die, she would definitely make Yao Sisi pay the price for what she had done today.
