After Xiao Yunheng was locked up again, no one finally disturbed them during the meal.
However, Yun Zishu knew that it would not be a problem to lock Xiao Yunheng in the house all the time. Besides, after being locked up for such a long time, the injury was healed. Keeping him in the house would only cause trouble.
"Have you been to the Xiao family?"
"Not yet." Leng Yue was preparing breakfast for Yun Zishu, "I will go there later."
Yun Zishu hummed, "Just follow what I said yesterday. If they are not willing, then I will let Xiao Yunheng's injury return to what it was before."
"yes."
After breakfast, Leng Yue took people to the Xiao family and conveyed the words to the Xiao family steward: "Just tell Mrs. Xiao to send the medical fee within three days, otherwise when Mr. Xiao entered the princess's house,
What will he look like when he is sent back one day? Don’t blame our princess for being cruel."
The steward did not dare to delay and quickly reported this sentence to Mrs. Xiao.
"What?!" Mrs. Xiao was shocked and angry. She couldn't believe what she heard. "Yun Zishu, is this a big deal? The dowry has been moved back intact. What kind of medical fee is needed now? Why doesn't she?
To rob the treasury?”
The steward said respectfully: "Miss Leng Yue also said that serving the young master and his wife with delicious food and drinks during this period costs a lot of money, and the Xiao family's payment is reasonable."
"She is a bandit! A robber!" Mrs. Xiao said angrily, "How can I get ten thousand taels of silver for her in such a short time?"
The steward corrected: "Madam, it's not silver, it's gold."
"Ten thousand taels of gold?!" Mrs. Xiao's tone suddenly rose by a degree, "Do Xiao Yunheng and Li Xue eat and drink fairy dew from the sky every day?"
The steward took a step back, thinking that this is not my business. Madam, it is useless for you to shout at me.
"It's simply too much, it's too much!" Mrs. Xiao gritted her teeth in anger, and veins popped out on her forehead, "I will never tolerate this problem of hers!"
"One more thing..." the steward's voice became softer, "Miss Lengyue quietly revealed that the Ninth Princess has been in a bad mood recently, which may be related to the An family's affairs."
settle down?
Anhuai Mountain?
Mrs. Xiao thought of the rumors outside today, saying that An Huaishan had an evil idea about Yun Zishu, so he was stabbed by Yun Zishu. However, no one had caught the evidence, and there was no way to prove that Yun Zishu was responsible for the incident.
That unruly little bitch!
If she hadn't been restless, how could Young Master An have evil thoughts towards her?
Mrs. Xiao's expression was gloomy and uncertain, and she believed in her heart that it was Yun Zishu who got into trouble because of her recklessness and restlessness at home, but the dandy of the An family was also to blame.
Just thinking that that little bitch was so cruel to An Huaishan and would not treat Xiao Yunheng much better, Mrs. Xiao said coldly: "I said it at the beginning, leaving Yun Heng in the princess mansion is simply not feasible.
, Yun Zishu is a cruel and ruthless woman, how can she treat Yun Heng and Li Xue kindly?"
But Xiao Yuanting didn't listen at all. He only knew how to be submissive in front of the emperor, which was not at all like the style a military general should have.
"Madam." The nun beside Mrs. Xiao frowned, "It is said outside that An Huaishan's injury was caused by the Ninth Princess. Do you think that if the Ninth Princess is in a bad mood, will she do the same to the young master..."
"She dares?!" Mrs. Xiao said sternly, "If she dares to treat Yun Heng like this, I will definitely let the general's cavalry trample her princess mansion!"
However, even though she said this, she still had no idea in her heart.
Mrs. Xiao couldn't help but worry, did Yun Zishu treat Yun Heng and Li Xue harshly? It had been so long since Yun Heng entered the princess's mansion, and no news had spread. What if they were wronged in the princess's mansion?
Since Yun Heng entered the princess mansion, no one in the Xiao family has seen Yun Heng's face, and Yun Heng has not attended the palace banquet. Mrs. Xiao has not been able to calm down, and now she is even more anxious, thinking
Thinking about it, I couldn't help but even complained to the emperor and the prince.
Obviously there is more than one princess in the royal family, why must Yun Zishu, the most rebellious one, be given in marriage to Yun Heng?
Thinking of Yun Zishu's repeated rude requests, Mrs. Xiao's expression turned gloomy: "If she can't do anything else, she's good at talking like a lion."
"What are you going to do, madam?"
Mrs. Xiao said coldly: "Didn't she give you three days? Let me think about it first."
"yes."
The steward left, and Mrs. Xiao was pacing in the bedroom, feeling torn in her mind, thinking about the messy things that had happened in the past few days, and she was exhausted both physically and mentally.
Why did the Xiao family end up with such a plague god?
Mammy said: "If Madam can't make the decision, why not go to the palace and ask Concubine Wu for advice?"
Mrs. Xiao was silent for a moment and slowly shook her head: "The Emperor is dealing with the affairs of the An family and the Pan family. Concubine Wu is probably not in a good mood. If I disturb her at this time, it will appear that I am ignorant."
In the final analysis, the prince did not have enough prestige. Yun Zishu did not take Concubine Wu and the prince seriously at all - although she did not know who gave her such courage.
But that’s the reality.
Yun Zishu seemed to have suddenly opened up the two channels of Ren and Du. She was completely risking her life and was not afraid of death at all. Mrs. Xiao couldn't understand why the emperor couldn't give this ninth princess some color.
The fourth princess, Yun Zijiao, was in a similar situation to Yun Zishu. She also had no mother to support her, but Yun Zijiao never dared to act like a princess and boss around in the An family.
The more Mrs. Xiao thought about it, the angrier she became. She was so angry that she couldn't even eat.
When Xiao Yuanting came back from the military camp in the evening, she told her husband about the matter, her tone still a bit angry: "In my opinion, Yun Heng should be allowed to leave the princess mansion as soon as possible, and marry a wife and have children in a dignified manner, isn't it good?
Staying in the princess mansion like this without any name or status, not only making people laugh for nothing, but also looking at people's faces every day, when has the legitimate son of a dignified first-class general ever been so cowardly?"
Xiao Yuanting said solemnly: "Does she really want ten thousand taels of gold?"
"Can it be wrong?"
Xiao Yuanting's face looked very ugly. Could it be that the Xiao family was really at the mercy of others?
In the past, it was the Xiao family who did something wrong and got it right first, and Yun Zishu tolerated it after a small fuss. However, now it is getting more and more excessive, and he has learned to push the envelope more and more.
Ten thousand taels of gold?
What a loud tone.
Xiao Yuanting stood up and walked out, walked out of the door, and went directly to the Ninth Princess Mansion.
This time it was Leng Shuang who came out to see him, with only one sentence: "Master An originally only had seven days to live, but my Highness was kind and decided to spare his life."
Xiao Yuanting's eyes suddenly turned cold.
"His Highness said it was good to make him a fool. A heartless, romantic and selfish man deserves such retribution."
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Yuanting's eyes were not only cold, but his whole body began to feel cold.
"General Xiao, please go back." Leng Shuang turned around and walked in. "Master Xiao will not become a fool."
