Lao Zhen's heart bleeds when she thinks that everything she has worked so hard to get is now returned.
She said: "It's business to be promoted, Jin Yue has no reason to object."
Jin Ci nodded: "My son knows, what about this attack on a noble?"
"You don't have to worry about it, I have other arrangements."
Jin Ci nodded and left after a short time.
That night, Lao Zhen secretly left the Hou Mansion to see Zhang.
In Zhuangzi, Mrs. Zhang looked at the mother-in-law with resentment in her heart. She said, "You are about to marry your son, and now you actually want me to work for you?"
Lao Zhen was displeased: "Ms. Zhang, everything you did was not for me, you were doing it for your son and yourself."
Mrs. Zhang remained silent, and Mrs. Lao Zhen continued: "You don't want to return to the Marquis' Mansion? Are you willing to stay in this village for the rest of your life?"
Zhang said angrily: "Even if my son succeeds in inheriting the position of Marquis, my husband will have another wife. Who will I be then?"
"You are confused." Mrs. Lao Zhen pointed at Mrs. Zhang and scolded: "Even if Jin Ci marries another wife, it will be a wife who will help his future. As long as your son becomes a mighty prince in the future, your mother will be ruined by her son's worth." The previous divorce letter is not invalid."
Only then did Mrs. Zhang come back to her senses: "You mean, the divorce letter was revoked?"
"As long as our whole family agrees, it doesn't matter if others object."
"But there is evidence in Jin Yue's hands, and she will never allow it."
Lao Zhen smiled: "Do you think the Prince of Chu's Mansion is so idle? Even if the Prince of Chu is dead, Princess Qin can't tolerate Jin Yue."
After saying this, Lao Zhen became even more proud and said: "Qin Taifei has sent someone to express her anger with me. She doesn't like Jin Yue, do you understand?"
Zhang didn't expect to get help from Concubine Qin, so she felt relieved now.
Mrs. Zhen added: "What's more, the wife I'm looking for for Ci'er is a stubborn woman. She's famous for her stupidity. Are you afraid that you won't be able to control her?"
Zhang's eyes suddenly lit up: "You mean, the stupid girl from the old imperial uncle's family who can't get married."
Mrs. Lao Zhen nodded. She had already started planning this matter. As long as things went well, she would be able to successfully marry the person into the Marquis' mansion.
Mrs. Zhang felt relieved and said, "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
Naturally, Lao Zhen would not leave any excuse for himself, so he worriedly said: "I haven't figured out a way yet. It would be great if Jin Yu died."
Zhang was shocked and looked at Lao Zhen.
Lao Zhen suddenly stood up and said, "But you don't dare to do such a murderous thing. I'll come back to you when I think of a good way."
After Lao Zhen left, Mrs. Zhang lowered her face and said, "What else can I do besides killing Jin Yu? You don't dare, I don't."
Jin Wei, who had been eavesdropping outside for a long time, was so shocked that she quickly covered her mouth. She was really afraid that she would scream out.
That night she lay in bed tossing and turning and stayed awake all night.
——
The weather that day was terribly gloomy.
Jin Yue has been waiting for Yan Ruoshu's invitation. It was around this time in her previous life that Yan Ruoshu took away Heiya Island from her.
Sure enough, in the afternoon, Jin Yue received an invitation from King Jinyang.
From the pavilion by Moon Lake, the sound of playing a small tune from a painting boat not far away can be heard from time to time.
Yan Ruoshu was sitting next to King Jinyang, and the two of them looked very affectionate in front of Jin Yue.
"If you asked me to come here just to see you two in love, then there is no need."
Seeing that Jin Yue was angry, Yan Ruoshu was happy but her face showed grievance: "I accidentally burned my hand today. Brother Heng also feels sorry for me. Yue'er, don't be angry."
King Jinyang looked arrogant: "Jin Yue, I know you wanted to marry King Chu just to deliberately anger me. I still say that you can't force matters of love."
Jin Yue was speechless: "You are so sentimental."
King Jinyang didn't take Jin Yue's words to heart at all, he felt that Jin Yue couldn't let him go.
If this were not the case, she could have chosen someone else from the Dimen to marry, including his brother, but she chose to marry a living dead. This was not a sign that she could not let go of him.
"Jin Yue, I know you are in urgent need of money for your dowry, so I will give you the three best shops in Dongcheng, and how about you give me Black Cliff Island in exchange?"
This was something Jin Yue didn't expect. In the previous life, Yan Ruoshu had used her dowry shop to exchange for her.
Later, after she married Queen Jinyang, Yan Ruoshu disappeared and left. When she returned, she returned with the news that Xuan Tie was found on Heiya Island.
At that time, she gave Black Cliff Island to the emperor in a high-profile manner, and was given the title of First Grade Princess. At the same time, she renewed her relationship with King Jinyang.
But now, she would actually tell King Jinyang directly about the Heiya Island Xuan Iron Mine in advance?
Seeing that Jin Yue didn't speak, Yan Ruoshu tried her best and said, "Yue'er, Heiya Island is just a deserted island. If you exchange it for three shops in Dongcheng, you will make a lot of money."
"Let me think about it."
Yan Ruoshu immediately said: "Girl Yue, you are about to get married and marry into the Prince of Chu's palace. The dowry cannot be shabby."
Jin Yue finally figured it out. Yan Ruoshu was obviously testing her, but why was she testing her?
In this case, why not take this opportunity to dig another hole for them.
She smiled and said: "Of course I have already prepared the dowry. All the betrothal gifts from Prince Chu's palace plus two hundred thousand taels of gold. Do you think this is enough?"
Sure enough, when gold was mentioned, King Jinyang's hand tightened immediately, and he said angrily: "Jin Yue, you have indeed hidden that gold, and you dare to steal it and catch the thief to harm my reputation."
Jin Yue looked puzzled, and raised her beautiful eyes and asked: "Hasn't this matter been investigated clearly? It was you, King Jinyang, who colluded with bandits and the Eagle Escort Agency to steal the gold, and now you don't admit it?"
"You're talking nonsense, that box is obviously filled with rocks."
Jin Yue held up her hands with a look of disbelief: "Three hundred thousand taels of gold, King Jinyang, of course you are reluctant to return it, so if you say it is a stone, what can others do?"
King Jinyang almost vomited blood and asked angrily: "Then tell me, where did your dowry of two hundred thousand taels of gold come from?"
"This is our own business in the Weiwu Marquis Mansion, and we have nothing to do with you, King Jinyang."
Seeing Jin Yue change the topic, Yan Ruoshu immediately spoke and brought it back again: "Jin Yue, let's talk about Heiya Island?"
Jin Yue smiled and said: "Why do you emphasize Heiya Island? Is there any treasure on Heiya Island that you are interested in?"
King Jinyang said: "It's just an abandoned island. If you don't want to change it, do you know something?"
"Nothing, I just don't want to trade with you."
Yan Ruoshu glanced at King Jinyang and confirmed her guess at this moment.
Just then, the gloomy weather started to rain.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and King Jinyang quickly put his cloak on Yan Ruoshu and said gently: "Don't get cold."
In her previous life, Jin Yue was used to seeing the deep affection between these two people. No matter how much she sacrificed, she was like an outsider.
