"Auntie Huang might as well send someone to the Duke Ning's Mansion to ask. We came here today specifically for this matter and there is no rush."
Princess Sui spoke slowly, as if you take your time and I can wait. Su Ling sat next to her, still looking docile and gentle. The other ladies found a random place in the room to sit down. He also kept staring here, as if he would continue to wait.
They came together, naturally wanting to seek justice for Su Ling, the sufferer. Although they felt that the apology proposed by Princess Sui was too much, it was ultimately up to Princess Sui and Princess Zhao to discuss it. They thought it was feasible, so Neither of them spoke, they all sat quietly drinking tea and waiting.
After hearing this, Princess Zhao cursed several times in her mind, and her face became a little stiff. She said, "About this matter, we need to send someone to the Jinning Duke's Mansion to ask and discuss it."
"Then Auntie Huang, let's go discuss it. I'll just wait here."
Princess Zhao thought for a while, and then left the guest courtyard with Murong Ning. After Murong Ning left the courtyard, she ordered someone to prepare tea and snacks to send over.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law returned to the inner courtyard to discuss the matter.
Princess Zhao clapped her hands and walked back and forth in place for several times, unable to get rid of the anger in her heart.
"Two hundred thousand taels! Two hundred thousand taels! Princess Sui is really brave. She dares to ask for so much money as an apology. Why doesn't she go to heaven!"
The palace's annual income was only four to five hundred thousand taels. King Zhao and Zhao Mingzhan used half of it for work. After deducting the expenses of the palace, the remaining amount was only a dozen or two hundred thousand. Princess Sui wanted to do this. Too much, this is undoubtedly poking her heart and lungs.
Stealing people's money costs people's lives!
Murong Ning frowned and said, "Does the mother-in-law want to provide this money to her younger siblings?"
"That's definitely impossible!" Princess Zhao gritted her teeth bitterly, "Since it was her fault, then use her own dowry to fill it. If it's not enough, let's talk about it later."
Murong Ning nodded. She didn't want to fill this hole for Su Fu. She also felt that the money offered was a bit unfair. If it had been ten thousand to twenty thousand, thirty to forty thousand, or even fifty thousand, she wouldn't have made such a sound. After all, the family The person in charge is Princess Zhao.
But for two hundred thousand, she felt a little uncomfortable. It wasn't that she was unkind, it was just that she didn't want to spend money and effort to clean up people's messes.
Moreover, because of this marriage, the palace had already given Su Wan 300,000 taels, and now it has to give the Sui Prince's palace another 200,000 taels, which is 500,000 taels. Who wants to spend so much money on marrying a daughter-in-law? Not counting the original betrothal gift!
Things in this world are all indispensable. This first time is okay, but this second time, people are very unwilling to do it.
Moreover, she didn't really want to take care of Su Fu. She had done it all by herself until now. You would get what you sow, and she wasn't worthy of pity.
Princess Zhao sent someone to the Jinning Palace to inquire, and told Princess Zhao what she meant. She said that Princess Sui had brought people to Prince Zhao's Palace, and she had to give an explanation as to whether she wanted to give money or people.
If it was given to someone else, Prince Zhao's Palace would give Su Fu a divorce note, and divorce would be fine, and then hand Su Fu to Princess Sui, and Prince Zhao's Palace would ignore the matter.
If money was given, Prince Zhao's Mansion was unwilling to pay the 200,000 taels of silver to fill the hole. They wanted to use Su Fu's dowry to pay for the sins she had committed.
The people who were sent there rode horses, but they came back within two seconds.
"My subordinates did not see Mrs. Jinning, but they did meet the young lady."
"The young lady said that Mrs. Jinning's wife agreed with the princess' statement. The third young lady's dowry will be used to fill the money. If it is not enough, the palace will add more, but there is also a requirement."
Princess Zhao raised her eyebrows: "Oh? What's the request?!"
The visitor said: "Mrs. Jinning's wife means that our family cannot divorce our wives, nor can we make peace with each other. As long as the third young lady is still the palace's daughter-in-law, the Jinning family will not care about the rest."
The implication is that Su Fu, this mess, will be forced to death here in Prince Zhao's Mansion.
When Princess Zhao heard this, she was so angry that she was about to smoke: "What a Jinning Palace, they have taught such a vicious girl, and they still don't allow her husband's family to divorce. It's simply a delusion. Our Prince Zhao's Palace cannot tolerate such a daughter-in-law. ! Let them take it back by themselves if it’s rotten or good!”
Princess Zhao was really unwilling to leave Su Fu in her residence. In order to avoid outsiders saying that Prince Zhao's residence was too cold-blooded and ruthless, she had no choice but to deal with the matter. She just waited for the matter to be over before divorcing her and making peace. .
"I will never agree to this. Go tell Jinning Palace and ask them to take her back! I will definitely not want this daughter-in-law again!"
If there is such a daughter-in-law, the reputation of Prince Zhao's Mansion will be ruined by her. Princess Zhao is such a decent person. When she thinks that these people in the Imperial City take out Prince Zhao's Mansion and point fingers as a joke from time to time, she Going crazy.
The visitor was sweating profusely: "Princess, when I came back, the people from the Jinning Palace said that they only had this request. If the princess does not agree, then the Jinning Palace will not agree to sell off the third young lady's dowry."
"As for whether or not to hand the person over to Prince Sui's Mansion, Madam Shao San is now a member of the Mansion, and the princess has the final say in everything. They don't care."
The implication is that either Prince Zhao's Mansion will pay for it themselves, or Prince Zhao's Mansion, with its reputation of being cold-blooded and ruthless, will hand over Su Fu regardless of Su Fu's life or death.
No matter which one, Prince Zhao's Mansion will suffer.
Princess Zhao was absolutely furious.
"Then don't divorce your wife." At this time, Zhao Mingyan walked in from the door. He didn't know how long he stood outside and listened.
Princess Zhao said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? Could it be that you were deceived by her sweet words again? You are still protecting her now. I shouldn't have agreed to let you marry her in the first place! You evil son!"
"Are you going to make your mother-in-law mad to death?!"
"Look at you now, what do you look like since you got married?!"
"That woman is a disaster! She harmed our Prince Zhao's Mansion!"
Zhao Mingyan pursed his lips and listened to Princess Zhao scolding for a while, and then said: "Mother, it is not appropriate to hand this person over. If she dies in Prince Sui's Mansion, then we will never be able to explain it for the rest of our lives. Besides, if we don't agree, Jin Ning Gongfu also doesn’t agree to sell the dowry.”
Zhao Mingyan closed his eyes: "My son knows that my family has paid too much for me. Besides, my eldest brother and sister-in-law will inherit the family in the future. I feel guilty when I spend this money. Since it was her who did it." She should be responsible for the mistakes she made."
"If you don't divorce your wife, send her to the imperial mausoleum in the future and let her repent. If she regrets it in the day, let her come back. If she doesn't regret it, let her stay there for the rest of her life."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Princess Zhao's eyebrows twitched, "If you don't divorce your wife, she will take over the position of your legitimate wife. How will you marry again in the future!"
