After coming out, Chunxi said indignantly, “The old madam is too annoying. She won’t even let go of such a small amount of silver.”
“Alright, stop talking. To begin with, she’s a greedy person, so this was to be expected.
“Let’s hurry up and show our faces in front of my father.” After Yang Wanning finished speaking, she asked about the situation as she walked toward her father’s courtyard.
In the end, she realized that Yang Shicheng had already left.
The two of them were just about to leave and give Yang Chenglin some money when they bumped into Mrs. Cui.
Mrs. Cui interrogated her again and got the same answer.
As for the fact that the Gu family was poor, she did not doubt it. After all, she had heard how badly the Gu family had been raided back then.
However, when she saw Yang Wanning, she thought of an idea and asked, “Oh right, did you overhear from the Gu family when the Third Prince will offer your betrothal gifts?
“Your wedding date is not far away.”
Yang Wanning looked at her bright eyes and quickly understood what she was thinking. Mrs. Cui wanted to use her betrothal gift as Yang Wanyu’s dowry, which was shameless to the extreme.
Thinking of this, she shook her head and replied, “I haven’t heard of it. However, the Third Prince’s main consort has yet to marry in.
“This is not a small matter. The country doesn’t even legalize gambling, let alone loan sharks. Otherwise, the country would fall into chaos.
“Moreover, if it were Mother Goddess bringing it up, he would have to take it seriously on account of you.”
“Alright, I’ll give it a try.”
After saying that, Zhou Ying went to get busy.
After she was done, she gave the Emperor a dream and deliberately mentioned that many had died because of this.
Zhou Ying had just withdrawn her spiritual senses when the Emperor woke up. He looked at the dark sky outside and stared at it blankly.
At the same time, he was a little excited. He didn’t expect Mother Goddess to appear in his dreams.
This led him to think that the Cui family had done something heinous, so he called Xiao Heng over and ordered him to investigate the Cui family’s loan sharks in private.
Although Xiao Heng was curious about how he knew about this, he did not ask further.
He had heard rumors about it, so he personally left the palace and led his men to start investigating.
Since Mrs. Cui was in a hurry to get more money, the Cui family was also acting far more boldly than before. This made it much easier for Xiao Heng to investigate.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of King Rui’s wedding.
Early in the morning, after confirming that the wedding envoy had set off, Zhou Ying brought Haitang a wedding gift of 888 taels that she had prepared earlier..
