Qian Wulai was not a fool. After leaving the medical clinic, he immediately sent someone to investigate what happened that day. As expected, he found something unusual.
It turned out that someone in their group was acting as an internal agent. After several investigations, the Song family was finally traced, and the reason was later discovered.
It turned out that the Song family intended to marry the girl in the palace to the Ming Dynasty as the royal concubine, but now the Song family only has Song Pingting, an unmarried legitimate daughter. Even the concubine can't reach it.
The marriage between the Song and Qian families was originally proposed by the Song family. Qian Wu was selected as a Jinshi, and based on his family connections, he found a minor official and stayed in the imperial city. The Song family felt that he had a bright future, and the Qian family was behind him. , so he wanted to give Song Pingting to him and help the prince by the way.
The Qian family thought that the old man of the Song family was the Tutor, and Song Pingting's sister was the Crown Princess, which would be of great benefit to both the Qian family and Qian Wuqian in the future, so they agreed.
The two families were discussing the matter, but no one expected that the prince was suddenly deposed.
The Song family was also affected, and the matter was delayed. However, unexpectedly, the Song family actually wanted to go back on their word. In order to cling to King Ming, they wanted to marry Song Pingting to King Ming as his princess.
In order not to offend the Qian family, they actually wanted to cause an accident for him and make him die.
"Okay! The Song family! It's really good!" Qian Wuxi gritted his teeth, his face gloomy and scary.
If the Song family doesn't want to marry their daughter, just say so. The Qian family is not a stalker, and the Song family is not as good as before. The Qian family is not happy with a family that has a relationship with the deposed prince!
Unexpectedly, they actually wanted him to die.
In this case, he will not let the Song family get what they want, and he will definitely avenge this.

On the fifth day of September, Mrs. Jing went to Jinning Palace again to check the betrothal gift and dowry with Mrs. Wang.
The betrothal gift given by the Li family was not light, and Mrs. Wang was shocked when she saw it. It contained one thousand taels of gold and ten thousand taels of silver. In addition to some things necessary for the engagement, there were also eight precious treasures, including jade, ancient books, calligraphy and paintings, which are rare in the world. Treasures, each worth thousands of gold.
With such a betrothal gift, you can even marry a princess.
Mrs. Jing said: "Master Li said that the princess is a noble daughter in the house, and she is very beautiful and noble. If he wants to marry her as his wife, he will never be wronged. No, everything has been chosen. It will definitely make the princess proud."
"When other people talk about this marriage in the future, everyone will know that the princess has good taste and has won the attention of her husband's family, so she married her back home with a lot of money."
Marrying a wife with a thousand gold means that the man attaches great importance to the woman. It is also one of the highest-end bride prices. Only the legitimate daughter of a big clan or the noble daughter of a powerful royal family has such an honor.
It was before that Princess Zhao hired Su Fu for a total of eight hundred gold and eight thousand taels of silver. She also gave her a few nice things, and the rest was handled according to the usual rules.
That is already very beautiful, let alone this.
Mrs. Wang was surprised that the Li family could afford such a betrothal gift. She also wondered for a moment if the Jing family helped to arrange it. However, the Li family valued Su Wan so much, and Ms. Wang was also very happy and also No matter how it was obtained.
The smile on Mrs. Wang's face deepened a little, and she said: "Master Li is so considerate, it is Ah Wan's blessing. I only hope that these two people can live well in the future, and I, the old woman, can feel relieved."
Mrs. Jing said: "It will definitely be fine. Mr. Li is gentle and the princess is smart and kind. These two people are simply a match made in heaven. There is nothing better."
After hearing this, Mrs. Wang was extremely satisfied: "Isn't that right? A match made in heaven."
Mrs. Wang finished reading the betrothal gift list, and then ordered someone to present the dowry list for Su Wan to Mrs. Jing: "A Wan's dowry is divided into three parts. One part was brought by her mother from the Zhenguo Palace. The only daughter of the Yue family is Ah Wan, so all of the Yue family’s things will be handed over to her. I have discussed this with her father, and he has no objection and thinks this is what it should be."
"There is also a dowry from the father-in-law of the house. The dowry of the legitimate daughter of each family is ten thousand taels of silver. There are also some shops and farms, where the elders of each family add to the dowry."
"The last one was prepared for him by her father, as well as some of her own private collection, as well as the previous rewards given to her by His Majesty. In addition, I also gave her some privately. I have only kept some of the things I have collected over the years, and the rest All the money was given to her."
"Since the bride price given by Mr. Li is thousands of gold and silver, our family can't live without it. I, the old woman, can add another thousand gold and silver to her, and I can also make up for it."
"As for the treasures given by Mr. Li, they will belong to her in the future and let her take them away."
Su Wan's dowry is rarely rich in this imperial city. Even if the Crown Princess marries into the East Palace, Shili Hongdou may not be as rich as she is. With this money, Su Wan's marriage is worse. But they are also children and grandchildren, and they have more money than they can spend in a few lifetimes.
Mrs. Jing was a little surprised when she looked at the three dowries. In addition to some collections of jewelry and ancient books, there were also other courtyard shops, farms and fruit trees. In addition, in the dowry given to her by the family, most of the farms and shops were In Guiyan City.
The Duke Ning's Mansion is in the Imperial City, so where is the farm shop in Guiyan City? It was obviously specially set up for the purpose of marrying off his daughter. It will be convenient for Su Wan to manage it in Guiyan City in the future.
Mrs. Jing sighed with emotion: "Madam loves the princess."
Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "Those of my granddaughters were disobedient in the past, and these two are the only ones left. A'luo is still young, so naturally I will stick to her first. I also felt that she had been wronged before, so I have to give up." It should be more.”
While the sisters married into high families, she wanted to marry lowly to repay her grandfather's kindness. She deserved to be given more things. Besides, Su Wan was filial and sensible, and Mrs. Wang really felt pity for her.
Mrs. Jing said: "I have something to remind Madam. If the princess gets married in the future, some people must be arranged to take care of such a large dowry."
Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "I know well that A-Wan has not yet got her hair. Although she has been engaged, she is still far away from getting married. I have asked Ms. Li to teach her how to manage things. I will also pay attention to it myself. In the future, I will also send Some capable people will give her a dowry."
Mrs. Jing said: "It would be nice if Madam had arrangements. I am worrying too much."
Wang said: "It doesn't matter, your worries are well-intentioned and are just for the sake of the younger generation. I'm also worried that she won't be able to keep it after giving her these."
Mrs. Jing said: "The princess is smart and must learn quickly. Besides, there are still family members here. Who dares to bully the princess? Although the Jing family has no ability, the Li family is kind to the Jing family and will definitely be the same in the future." I’ll take care of it.”
Mrs. Wang laughed when she heard this: "Mrs. Jing is interested."
Although the Jing family does not belong to the imperial court, it is a clan that has been in the imperial city for more than a hundred years. It has luxuriant branches and deep roots. The children in the family are also particularly outstanding in all walks of life. If the Jing family shines, few people would dare to attack them. idea.
