An Zhining turned pale after being threatened by Song Zhiming. She clearly understood that this gambler would do anything for money!
"I don't have any more silver. I still have a thousand taels of silver left. You can use it to pay off your debt first. When I marry into the palace, I will pay the rest for you."
The maid beside An Zhining walked down the steps and thrust a thousand taels of silver notes into Song Zhiming's hand.
In order to stabilize her, An Zhining had no choice but to soften her tone, "I haven't married into the palace yet, and tens of thousands of taels of silver is not a small amount. You have to wait until I marry into the palace before I can give you any money."
Song Zhiming rolled his cloudy and shrewd eyes, pocketed a thousand taels, and bared his yellow teeth at An Zhining, "Yes, my good daughter is right. When you get married, dad will definitely give you a seal." Big red envelope!”
boom!
After the side door was closed, An Zhining was so angry that she was shaking all over. She raised her hand and twisted the arm of the maid next to her violently!
"Ah!" The little girl couldn't help but scream, and received a loud slap from An Zhining!
Snapped! !
An Zhining calmed down a bit and said in a cold voice: "If you dare to spread what happened today, I will cut out your tongue!"
The sound of beatings and scolding gradually faded away, and An Ruowan and Caihuan walked out from behind the tree.
"Caihuan, go and deliver a message to the bookmaker and force them to be more ruthless."
"Yes, miss."
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the carriages and horses coming and going to the Prime Minister's Mansion never stopped.
An Ruowan stood silently next to Meng Zhiyi, and she couldn't make any waves in her heart towards these distant relatives whom she had never met.
An Zhining stood on the other side of Meng Zhiyi with a clever mouth and received all the compliments.
After arriving at the flower hall and sitting down, the second daughter-in-law of the An family spoke up, "Sister-in-law, your family is truly reunited this year."
Meng Zhiyi held her handkerchief and smiled: "What are you talking about, brother and sister?"
"Your biological daughter has also been brought back, and your adopted daughter has been raised in the house. Isn't it a family reunion?" Zhao Feng laughed after saying this.
Everyone tacitly never mentioned this matter. Zhao Feng was not afraid of offending others. She looked at An Ruowan and smiled, "Ruowan, right? You really look like your mother when she was young."
An Ruowan raised her eyes and smiled at Zhao Feng, her smile not reaching her eyes.
In her previous life, this group of so-called distant relatives often stepped on her head and insulted her, and the whole family had their own agendas.
Meng Zhiyi had an ugly expression on his face, "What are you talking about?"
"Ouch, look at me."
Zhao Feng smiled and waved the handkerchief, "Looking at her, I think of you when you were young. Don't blame me for talking too much."
"It's just that I don't seem to talk much tonight. I'm a bit bored."
An Er snorted next to him, "A woman from the countryside doesn't know how to call someone. There are no rules!"
"Master!" Zhao Feng scolded, "Wan'er was just brought back. Everything must be taught slowly. You can't force it."
An'er was at the table, in front of so many people, not giving any face to An Zhengqian, "I heard that the prime minister's office made a big joke when he came back, and regretted his marriage in the street? This is what a decent daughter can do. ?”
An Zhengqian's face turned white and blue in turns. Ever since he became Prime Minister, how had he ever received such ridicule? !
Just when he was about to get angry, An Zhining suddenly said with a smile: "This is all in the past. Today is a day of reunion. My second uncle should have fun today."
As soon as An Zhining spoke up, everyone's attention was drawn to her.
Someone at the table asked: "I heard that you and the prince are about to have a good time. You will soon become Princess Rong. Congratulations."
An Zhining's face turned red and she felt a little shy, "This is all rumored outside, how could it be so fast?"
When Meng Zhiyi heard that her youngest daughter was praised, the displeasure on her face disappeared. She turned around and held her hand with a smile, "What do you mean, the concubine gave you such a precious jade bracelet? Can there be a lie?"
Everyone looked at the jade bracelet on An Zhining's wrist and praised it one after another.
Zhao Feng saw the bracelet on her hand and said angrily, "Our sister Ning is still very powerful and is deeply loved by the Dowager Empress."
"Fortunately, Prince Rong married our An family girl."
Zhao Feng covered her lips with a handkerchief and looked at An Ruowan, "If Tong Wan'er breaks up her marriage and marries another girl, our An family will really not be able to hold our heads high in this capital."
As soon as she finished speaking, the boy outside the door hurried in and said, "Master Prime Minister, Prince Rong has arrived with a congratulatory gift!"
"What?!"
An Zhengqian stood up immediately, "Quickly! Follow me to welcome the prince in!"
"No need."
There was a sound of a wheelchair rolling outside the flower hall, and Qingfeng expressionlessly pushed his master in from the outside.
An Zhengqian immediately stood up and saluted Gu Beichen with the people in the flower hall!
"I have met the prince!"
The wheelchair passed through the crowd and stopped next to An Ruowan. Gu Beichen stared at her with a pair of clear black eyes, curled his lips and smiled, and then said softly, "Without courtesy, we are almost a family. There is no need to be angry."
Meng Zhiyi pulled An Ruowan over and told her, "Sit here and let your sister sit with Prince Rong."
Hearing Meng Zhiyi's words, Gu Beichen raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Wan'er, please sit next to me."
"Yes." An Ruowan broke away from Meng Zhiyi's hand that was holding her, and calmly walked to Gu Beichen and sat down.
An Zhengqian and Meng Zhiyi looked very ugly. What did Prince Rong mean?
Gu Beichen didn't seem to notice the strange atmosphere in the flower hall, and raised his hand behind him, "Although Wan'er has not married this king, we must have the proper etiquette."
Prince Rong decided that An Ruowan would be the princess!
An Zhining's face felt hot at the vague gaze, and she wanted to open a crack in the ground and get in!
An Ruowan, this bitch! !
An Zhengqian was flattered and quickly asked someone to accept the gift, "My daughter is so vulgar, she is lucky enough to be appreciated by the prince!"
When An Ruowan heard what he said, she rolled her eyes silently in her heart.
After the dishes were served, everyone was eating happily, but suddenly there was a commotion outside!
A young boy ran in in a panic and said hesitantly: "Master Xiang... there are a group of gambling dealers outside demanding accounts... blocking the door of our house asking for money!"
An Zhengqian frowned, "What kind of gambling house wants to pay? Hurry up and take someone to drive away the rogues at the door!"
"Master Xiang..." The young man hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Those people outside the door even brought someone up... they said it was... they said it was..."
An Zhengqian slammed the table and glared at the boy, "Say what it is, don't hesitate!"
"It's said that Princess Rong's biological father owes the gambling house one hundred thousand taels of silver. If he doesn't pay it back today, he will be beaten to death at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion and thrown here!"
