Dongcheng Street, in Sixi Teahouse.
Just as Bai Yushi came out after discussing the matter with Wu Qiye, he turned around and saw Wu Qiye being put into a sack and thrown into a carriage, and was taken away.
"Who are you? Stop, stop for me."
Bai Yushi immediately chased him, but when he couldn't catch up, he turned around and went to the government to report the case.
Dali Temple, after receiving the report, sent people to look for it immediately without delay.
——
Days passed by and the day came for Jin Yue to get married.
Jin Yue was wearing a bright red wedding dress today, and the dowry behind her was even more red.
The Hou Mansion not only gave Jin Yue all the betrothal gift sent by King Jinyang, but also used half of the Hou Mansion's property, plus two hundred thousand taels of gold.
"This Marquis Mansion is so rich, why didn't I see it before?"
"You don't understand this. It's not that the Hou Mansion is wealthy, but that the Hou Mansion is benevolent and righteous."
"How do you say this?"
"No matter who marries a daughter, it is a rule to keep at least 70% of the betrothal gift. However, the Marquis Mansion didn't keep a cent of the betrothal gift. Instead, it gave more than half of the gold mines to the eldest daughter of the Jin family."
"What do you say? If you give it all to her, then the rest of the Hou family will not be able to survive?"
"You don't know, I heard that Miss Jin's father gave his life for that gold mine. What's more, the mighty old Marquis takes pity on this granddaughter and spending more time with her is also a kind of compensation."
When the people who heard the rumors heard this, they all nodded in agreement.
Everyone knows that King Chu will not live long at all, and it is estimated that it will only be a matter of two months.
When Jin Yue got married, she was going to be a widow. If this marriage didn't work out, she would have to bear the reputation of being a bad husband in the future, so she should keep more money with her.
When receiving a bride at the Prince of Chu's Mansion, all the emperor's etiquette was followed, everything was very solemn.
Yan Ruoshu in the crowd had eyes full of jealousy.
King Jinyang's expression was not much better. The two hundred thousand taels of gold in the dowry clearly belonged to him.
"Miss, I've already done everything you told me."
Jin Yue nodded and was helped into the wedding room.
In the wedding room, King Chu lay there quietly, as if asleep.
Jin Yue personally brought hot water, then wiped his hands and face, looking at his handsome face.
He couldn't help but mutter to himself: "Your Majesty, I know you don't want to marry me, but my daughter has no way out and can only survive in the world with the help of your power."
Just as she was helping King Chu wipe his body, her hands stopped.
Then he tentatively touched King Chu's belly. A hard touch in one place shocked Jin Yue.
"Miss." Wang Ke'er came in angrily, unable to hide the irritation on her face.
Jin Yue looked over and Wang Keer said: "You are right, the people sent by the Dowager Empress have put your dowry into the treasury."
"Well, if she is willing to put it in the warehouse, let's put it in the warehouse!"
Wang Keer was furious: "No decent family would covet their daughter-in-law's dowry. This Concubine Qin obviously has a noble status, but she did such a disgraceful thing."
Jin Yue sneered and said: "No matter how indifferent a person is, he cannot resist the desire of his heart."
"Ah?" Wang Ke'er obviously didn't understand.
Jin Yue sat in front of the dressing mirror, took off the hairpin, and said, "What does the fourth prince lack?"
While Wang Keer was helping Jin Yue remove her makeup, she replied: "The fourth prince is powerful and powerful, and he doesn't need anything?"
"He has power and the best thing to consolidate power, but he doesn't have it."
"What?"
"In money, my dowry can be worth a city, so naturally he can't withstand the temptation."
"Miss, you mean that Concubine Qin wants to give all your dowry to Si..."
Jin Yue looked at her, and Wang Keer quickly covered her mouth, not daring to say another word.
"Clang clang clang."
Opening the door, it was Yan Ruoshu standing outside.
Jin Yue glanced at her and said, "The wedding wine and food outside can't stop your legs."
Yan Ruoshu walked in and sat down without asking.
"I'm here to help you, don't you want to hear it?"
Jin Yue glanced at Wang Ke'er, who immediately went out.
Yan Ruoshu was sure that King Chu behind the screen could not hear him, and that King Chu would die soon, so she was not afraid at all.
"How many of your words are true?"
Yan Ruoshu knew that it was impossible for Jin Yue to believe in her now.
So she got straight to the point: "Your father is still alive."
Jin Yue's fingers moved slightly. At this moment, even if Yan Ruoshu's words were false, she was willing to believe them.
"Jin Yue, I swear as Ruoshu, everything I said today is true."
"Where is he?"
"Do you think I will tell you? Or what do you think you should do in exchange for this news?"
Just as Jin Yue was about to say something else, when she saw Yan Ruoshu's proud expression, her eyes instantly turned cold.
She was really dizzy just now, and she was almost caught by Yan Ruoshu.
"Your oath is worthless to me."
Yan Ruoshu gritted her teeth angrily: "Jin Yue, you will regret it."
Jin Yue looked at her coldly: "I will regret it only if I trust you again."
"That's all, Jin Yue, you and I are sisters after all. I won't be so heartless to you."
Jin Yue sneered, "In my previous life, I destroyed my whole family. Isn't this considered ruthless?"
Yan Ruoshu seemed to have thought of this, and when she realized that both Jin Yue and herself were reborn, her face suddenly looked a little unnatural.
She stood up and said, "Jin Yue, you should know better than anyone else that King Chu will not survive more than two months."
"You don't need to worry about it."
"Jin Yue, let's reconcile. After the death of King Chu, I allow you to take your whole family and fly away."
When Jin Yue heard this, he suddenly felt funny: "Flying far away? Wait until you have the ability to catch me all in one go, then you can say this again."
"A temporary advantage doesn't mean anything. Jin Yue, you clearly know the result, so why bother holding on."
"Sorry, I am short-sighted and can only see that King Jinyang is now a soldier guarding the city tower."
"You." Yan Ruoshu was so angry: "After King Chu dies, what else can you do with the name of Ke Fu?"
"I have the power behind King Chu. If you don't accept it, will you bite me?"
Yan Ruoshu was furious. If she came back early, how could she let Jin Yue succeed.
She angrily tossed her sleeves and said angrily: "Jin Yue, let's wait and see."
Jin Yue ignored her, saying that Yan Ruoshu in her previous life had plagiarized her wisdom and helped Chu Heng win praise from people all over the world.
In this life, even Yan Ruoshu still retains her old strategies.
But she forgot that people are alive, things are alive, and the strategies she knows can only be used by herself.
That thing is coming soon, Jin Yue is looking forward to it.
——
"Dad, be sure to prepare more food and charcoal, as well as more quilts and cotton clothes."
Prime Minister Yan looked at Yan Ruoshu with difficulty and said, "Dad believes in your ability and believes that the snow disaster you dreamed about must be true."
Yan Ruoshu was very pleased: "Father, this winter's snow disaster can make our Prime Minister's Mansion make a lot of money."
Prime Minister Yan said: "But our Prime Minister's palace is empty, what can we buy?"
