As soon as these words came out, it was obvious that the King of Chu did not want to marry Jin Yue at all.
The whole audience was looking at Jin Yue excitedly, as if her eyes were telling her that she would enter the palace while the prince was critically ill.
"Princess Qin came here to deliver the previous imperial edict. Is it disrespectful for me to resist it in public?"
Princess Qin looked coldly and said directly: "You are thinking too much. I just want to tell everyone that my cousin doesn't want to marry you at all. You are just a villain who took advantage of this."
Yan Ruoshu stepped forward, still looking fair and decent, but every word she said was false.
"Princess Qin, you can't blame sister Yue for this. Sister Yue is destined to be a lucky girl. She was given a marriage by the emperor. If the marriage goes well, everyone will be happy, but what if..."
There was something in Yan Ruoshu's words that instantly made everyone think of it.
"If it goes well, she will be a lucky girl, but if it goes poorly, it's hard to say. She may be called a bad luck star."
"I've seen people make happy weddings really well. That's such a blessing."
"Why didn't you tell me that you also rushed people to death?"
"Whether a patient is a lucky girl or not depends on whether the patient can get better. If the patient gets better, then she is a lucky girl. If not, then she dies of the disease in the end, then she is a bad luck star."
Yan Ruoshu sneered in her heart. She didn't believe that people who were poisoned to the bone could be made happy.
She just waited to see Jin Yue's joke. After the joy, the King of Chu and the Crown Prince were still dead. Jin Yue would not be a lucky girl, she would even be called a bad luck star, and the emperor and empress would also dislike her.
And she knew that King Chu would die, and so would Prince Chu Lan, and this wedding would eventually fail.
Jin Yue saw everyone's comments and Yan Ruoshu's and Princess Qin's special attempts to cause trouble.
"Bring the gift from Miss Qin." Jin Yue said with a smile.
Wang Keer immediately stepped forward and took over the imperial edict of freedom of marriage.
Princess Qin was slightly stunned, she frowned and said, "Why do you want it again?"
"If I don't take it, how can I return this imperial edict to the emperor, and how can I praise Princess Qin's deeds in front of the emperor."
Princess Qin's face darkened: "Jin Yue, you actually want to file a complaint."
"How can we say that the previous imperial edict is a complaint? After all, both imperial edicts were written by the emperor. Isn't Princess Qin's special visit here today just to publicize this matter?"
Qin Xueying just wanted to come to Jin Yue to cause trouble, but she never thought that Jin Yue would complain.
Jin Yue turned to look at Yan Ruoshu and said, "Just in time, I also asked the emperor if he really made this marriage decree to make me happy? If that's the case, why didn't he mention a word about it in the marriage decree? "
At this time, the expression on Yan Ruoshu's face froze.
She also couldn't wait to see Jin Yue's jokes, so she couldn't help but tell her what Princess Qin told her.
Jin Yue stopped looking at them, turned around and entered the house directly.
In less than a day, rumors spread about the marriage and employment in the Marquis Weiwu Mansion.
But what everyone is talking about is not the generous betrothal gift, but Jin Yue marrying the King of Chu because of his happiness.
Everyone is waiting to see if King Chu's condition will get better after Jin Yue gets married. If not, then she is a fake lucky girl.
The next day, Jin Yue entered the palace to express his gratitude.
Then, Princess Qin and Yan Ruoshu were severely scolded by the empress, and a ban was issued directly.
The emperor once again ordered Prime Minister Yan to complete the matter of compensating the Weiwu Hou Mansion, otherwise he would not have to go to court again.
No matter how much Prime Minister Yan valued Yan Ruoshu, his daughter, he was a little irritable now.
No, Yan Ruoshu was scolded severely from the moment she returned home.
Then he paid a heavy gift and the matter was over.
——
At this moment in the Weiwei Hou Mansion, Mrs. Hou was happily stroking the sparkling betrothal gifts.
"My girl Yue is still lucky. Look at Manhuajing, who has given me a bigger betrothal gift than my Yue'er?"
The old Marquis was sitting in the yard drinking tea with a smile on his face. He looked at the betrothal gifts with satisfaction.
Lao Zhen couldn't see the arrogance of Lao Hou Mansion, and deliberately said: "If you marry into the emperor's family, the dowry must not be shabby. Sister, are you prepared?"
Mrs. Hou, who was smiling like an old aunt, suddenly froze the smile on her face.
"Isn't it enough to take the betrothal gift back as a dowry?" Mrs. Hou didn't want to give her granddaughter a dowry, but she really didn't have one!
The old Marquis' wonderful mood also became less wonderful at this moment.
Those who have been eating glutinous rice these days know that their family probably has no money.
He subconsciously looked at Lao Zhen, and before he could speak, Lao Zhen said: "Master, the power of running the family is not in my hands now."
She didn't believe that the old Marquis could be so shameless and ask for a dowry?
Sure enough, the old Marquis was very embarrassed, and he naturally had no shame in asking for the Zhen family's dowry.
So the old Marquis looked at his granddaughter: "Should I not take charge of the family, or should I leave it to your grandmother?"
The old Marquis had wanted to say it for a long time, but he had never been embarrassed to speak to his granddaughter.
For more than ten days, my life has been unsatisfactory. Even if I want to eat meat, there is nothing on the table.
Then everyone started complaining.
The second and third bedrooms complained about the housekeeper Jin Yue, who did not pay monthly silver and even had food and clothing expenses that were not as good as those of a servant.
The third aunt said: "Girl Yue, we must not be ignorant of good and evil. In the past, the housekeeper of the second house paid for it out of his own pocket, and he did not wrong everyone."
"That's right, since you took charge of the house, you haven't paid me any money this month, and you haven't changed my clothes in the four seasons. The clothes I'm wearing are still from last year."
The servants in the mansion also said that they had no monthly money.
"Master, now when the servants in our mansion go out, they will be laughed at by the servants in other mansions."
"The fact that the majestic and powerful Marquis Mansion can't send out moon silver is just a joke. It would be embarrassing to tell anyone about it."
Mrs. Hou also wanted to complain about her granddaughter, but no matter how unreliable her granddaughter was, she held back.
Seeing that everyone's resentment reached its peak, and even the servants dared to stand up and accuse, Lao Zhen was very satisfied.
As everyone knows, Jin Yue is also waiting for this wave of resentment.
Jin Yue looked at Lao Zhen with a half-smile and said, "Is our Marquis Mansion really at the end of its rope?"
Lao Zhen sighed: "I've given you the account books, don't you know them clearly?"
Jin Yue hummed, and then said: "So I want to ask, where did you get the Hou family's wealth? You didn't even leave a penny of our sisters' dowry money?"
"What are you talking about?" Lao Zhen's face suddenly darkened and he said, "Does it mean that the eldest lady thinks that I am greedy for money?"
Jin Yue had someone take out the account books he had compiled during this period.
Then Liuzi asked several shopkeepers to come in.
Lao Zhen's eyelids twitched, what exactly did Jin Yue find?
"Old Marquis, do you want to make the decision for the little one? The eldest lady has someone kidnapped the whole family?"
Shopkeeper Lin is an old man from the Weiwu Marquis Mansion, so the old Marquis naturally trusts him very much.
"Girl Yue, what are you doing?" Old Marquis asked with a straight face, obviously displeased.
Jin Yue looked at her grandfather: "If you still want to eat vegetables and porridge every day, and you have to ask Madam Hu to borrow money when you go out to drink tea, then you can beg for mercy on their behalf."
The old Marquis lost his temper instantly. He knew in his heart that his eldest granddaughter was capable.
