"Price?!" Princess Zhao frowned displeased, "What price do you want us to pay?!"
Su Wan added: "Princess, please don't worry. I won't ask for anything else. I just need some money. When I get married in the future, I will also need some money."
Silver, it's easy to say, the most indispensable thing in Prince Zhao's Palace is silver.
Princess Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and her tone became gentler: "How much money do you want?!"
Su Wan smiled: "Three hundred thousand taels, how about that?!"
Princess Zhao opened her eyes and almost jumped up: "You, don't go too far!"
Three hundred thousand taels, she dared to say this!
Su Wan pursed her lips and smiled: "Princess, please don't be angry. It was you who wanted to get married at that time, and you are the one who wants to break off the engagement now. This happened to me for no reason. At this time, outsiders don't know how it is. If I knew it, it would ruin my life."
Su Wan's tone was faint: "Princess, do you still remember my mother?"
When Princess Zhao heard that she mentioned the Yue family, she immediately didn't dare to mention it. After all, it was done improperly. Although three hundred thousand taels of silver were used to cut her flesh, but now that Su Wan had refused, things would have changed. If the quarrel breaks out, it will cause great damage to the reputation of Prince Zhao's Mansion.
"Okay, three hundred thousand taels is three hundred thousand taels. I'll have someone bring the banknote to you another day."
"feasible."
Su Wan nodded, then turned to Su Wang and Yang and said: "Although I am a junior and it's a bit unpleasant to say this, but when my sister robbed me of my marriage, I will pretend that she doesn't know about it. I will not cooperate with her." She cares about it, but she hurt me before and asked her uncle and auntie to prepare an apology for her, and if this gift is too light, I won't accept it."
"There is also Third Sister. If something like this happened, Third Sister's reputation will be bad. My uncle and auntie must not forget it either."
Su Wang was sweating profusely. He had always maintained his dignity and acted like a strict father to his children. Today, he was scolded by a junior like Su Wan. He was really shameless, but what she said was true. It makes people unable to say even a single word of rebuttal.
After all, the person who did the wrong thing was his daughter.
"Definitely, definitely, I will definitely ask your fourth sister to come and apologize to you."
"There's no need to come here. I don't want to see her, and she may not want to see me. An apology is enough."
"That's fine."
While talking, Su Wan took out a dark cloud-patterned jade pendant from a purse tied to the waistband, and then handed it to Zhao Mingzhan: "This is a token. I hope the princess will keep her promise."
Zhao Mingzhan took the jade pendant, then turned to look at Princess Zhao, who also took out a similar jade pendant from her arms. The difference was that Su Wan took out black jade, while Princess Zhao took out cold white jade.
These two jade pendants were made from materials selected by Princess Zhao and the Yue family when the two families agreed to get married before Su Wan was born. Zhao Mingyan was made of black jade, and Su Wan was made of cold white jade.
They were originally a perfect match, but unfortunately, they are now married separately.
Su Wan took the jade pendant, then turned and left without hesitation, walked to Su Xun and handed it to him.
Su Xun didn't understand what she meant: "What are you doing for me?!"
Su Wan said: "This was originally a jade pendant made by my mother and the princess for their engagement. Since the marriage has failed, there is no use in keeping it. Please ask my father to find someone to destroy it."
Su Xun didn't expect that she would be so heartless, and couldn't tolerate even a jade pendant. He licked his dry lips and said, "But this jade pendant has your name engraved on it. Your mother also put it in Yuanshan Temple for worship that day." Incense will keep you safe throughout your life and your marriage will be smooth."
There was no expression on Su Wan's face, and she said calmly: "I will still get married in the future, so it would be bad to keep this thing. This jade pendant was originally a pair, with their birth dates engraved on it. If it were my father, I don’t want to destroy it, so just keep it for me and don’t take it out again.”
After saying that, she bowed slightly to everyone, then turned around and walked out of the door.
Xiao Sang was waiting on the verandah at the edge of the yard. When he saw her coming out, he quickly put the melon seeds in his hand back into his pocket and rushed to greet her: "Girl, what's wrong?!"
Su Wan nodded: "Let's go back. The rest of the matter has nothing to do with us."
Xiao Sang responded quickly: "Yes, girl."
So the two of them returned to Wanyuan.
In the afternoon, the banknote from Prince Zhao's Mansion had been delivered. Su Wan did not see anyone from Prince Zhao's Mansion. The banknote was handed over to Su Xun and then handed over to her.
Su Wan confiscated it and said bluntly: "I heard that when it snowed this year, there was heavy snow in Liangzhou, and many people lost their homes. Now the court is still dealing with this matter. My father sent the money to the Ministry of Household Affairs and said it was me. A little thought."
The current Minister of Household Affairs was promoted by the current emperor, and he can be considered a capable minister. Giving money to him is also reassuring.
Su Xun was stunned for a moment, almost choking on his own saliva: "What?! What did you say?! Send it to the Ministry of Finance?!"
Su Wan nodded: "After all, this money was taken from Prince Zhao's Mansion. If we use it ourselves, it will not sound good if it is spread out, and people in Prince Zhao's Mansion will be unhappy. But if they don't want it, I feel unwilling to let them go, so I took this It is a good thing to give money to those in need.”
Su Xun thought about it. Even if this matter spread out in the future and Su Wan took the money, her reputation would not be good, but if she donated the money, it would be different.
It's just a pity that this is three hundred thousand taels of silver! Even the Marquis of Jinning's Mansion has a yearly income of less than 100,000 taels!
Su Xun looked at his daughter a few more times, as if he was getting to know her again.
She gave up the three hundred thousand taels of silver as soon as she said she wanted to, which was more free and easy than him as a father.
"I will report back to your grandfather. If your grandfather agrees, I will send the money over."
"Okay." Su Wan nodded in agreement.
Two days later, Su Xun was worried that Su Wan would be unhappy, so he asked Mrs. Li to take Su Wan out for a walk. It happened that Mrs. Li had a lot of new materials for the silk and satin in her hands, so she took Su Wan and Su Luo went out and planned to come back with some materials to make two sets of clothes for everyone in the family.
Su Wan has never had a chance to go out since he arrived here. Most of the guards in the house have retired from the battlefield. They are heavily guarded and cannot be fooled by casual people. Therefore, it is quite difficult to sneak out like this. , she didn’t have to go out to play, so she didn’t take it to heart.
Anyway, there is plenty to eat and drink at home, and in my spare time I read my storybook and plant flowers and grass, and my life is going pretty well.
Nowadays, the daughter of the boudoir is not as shy as in the past, and she has to wear a hat or something when going out, but she still has to be careful and bring her bodyguards and maids with her to avoid being bumped into by those people.
Su Luo was still at the age where she loved to play. She was so happy when she learned that she could go out. When she got on the carriage, she moved left and right. Mrs. Li lovingly wiped her sweat with a handkerchief. Mother and daughter got along well. Very tender.
Su Wan looked at it with a little envy in his heart.
