Princess Agent: The Sweet Country Girl's Way to Glory - Chapter 358
Chapter 358 Be Jealous Of
“Mother! I’ve already married into the Second Prince’s Mansion, and you haven’t given me a dowry yet! Where is the one million taels you mentioned before? I’ll find someone to move it myself.” Qiao Nuanyu’s words were very relaxed, and her expression was taken for granted. Everyone was shocked.
Madam Zhao had indeed agreed to this, but times had changed. Moreover, Qiao Nuanyu was not her daughter at all, so how could she give her one million taels? Is she crazy?
Madam Zhao laughed and said, “This dowry has indeed been promised and should be given.”
Qiao Nuanyu was secretly overjoyed, but she heard Madam Zhao look at her and said coldly, “However, Qiao Nuanyu, I promised you a dowry to marry into the Third Prince’s Mansion. Now that you have married into the Second Prince’s Mansion, I want to give you another dowry.”
Another dowry? There definitely wouldn’t be a million taels! Qiao Nuanyu was anxious and gave Qi Delong a look. Qi Delong immediately said, “The Zhao Clan is also a big family. I think Madam Zhao must be very generous.”
“Pu!” Madam Zhao laughed. Su Wanwan also laughed. The mother and daughter looked at the two with the same expression. Su Wanwan coughed and said, “Mother, our family was indeed a big merchant before, and we also had some savings. Why don’t we give them the latest income and expenditure of the East China Sea Salt Store in the past ten years?”
The salt storage in the East China Sea! That was the largest salt bin in Xia Dynasty!
Qi Delong was very moved and said, “The Zhao Clan is indeed generous.”
“Don’t be happy too early.” Su Wanwan looked at him faintly. “The Second Prince married my sister. Where is the bride price? My sister still has your flesh and blood in her stomach. Tell me, where is the bride price you gave her?”
“This” Qi Delong was stunned. He didn’t expect this! He had originally thought that he would come here for a dowry!
“Tell me, how much should I give you? After all, it’s the second prince’s wedding! Let’s fix a date for this wedding so that we can make up for a century of wedding for the two of you.” As Su Wanwan spoke, she looked at Qiao Nuanyu’s stomach. Qiao Nuanyu seemed gentle and dignified, but she had a lustful nature and was very silver. Who the child in her stomach belonged to remained to be determined.
“Let’s not have the wedding.” Qiao Nuanyu said with a dark face. She and Qi Delong had befriended each other before and had been watched by the crowd. Her reputation was already bad. Now that she was married, it was definitely not a joyous occasion. Instead, it reminded everyone of what she had done with Qi Delong. Wouldn’t that be slapping her in the face again?
Qiao Nuanyu thought very well, “Mother, just give me the dowry. Our family doesn’t accept the bride price anymore. After all, our family is no longer a salt merchant. Marrying the Second Prince’s Mansion is also a grievance to the Second Prince.”
“Puchi!” Su Wanwan sneered and asked, “Qiao Nuanyu, you keep saying’our family ‘and you don’t want to accept the bride price anymore. What does that mean? Furthermore, you clearly know that our family is not a salt merchant, why don’t you leave money for mother to retire?”
“You, this” Qiao Nuanyu did not know how to refute.
Madam Zhao sighed and scolded Su Wanwan meaningfully, “Stop arguing! Don’t you know how much suffering your sister has endured?”
“That’s right! Mother still loves me!” Hearing this, Qiao Nuanyu felt a little wronged and threw herself into Madam Zhao’s embrace.
Qiao Nuanyu said coquettishly, “Mother, don’t accept this betrothal gift!”
“No, there’s still a formality. We can’t let the two families lose face.” After saying that, Madam Zhao looked at Qi Delong and said, “The Second Prince only needs to give 10,000 taels of silver. As long as you give me the silver, I will treat the silver that will be operated by the salt warehouse in the East China Sea for ten years as handing it over to you.”
Isn’t ten thousand taels of silver silver? Qi Delong’s heart ached.
Seeing his hesitation, Su Wanwan’s heart skipped a beat. She pretended to be angry and said, “Mother! How can you do this! Then the East China Sea Salt Storehouse’s annual profit is at least 100,000 taels of silver! You can’t …”
“Shut up!” Madam Zhao glared at Su Wanwan, “You devious girl! What if I give your sister a dowry?”
Qi Delong and Qiao Nuanyu exchanged a glance. When they thought of how much silver there was in the salt warehouse in the East China Sea, Qi Delong agreed and said, “Ten thousand taels of silver is not difficult. Madam Zhao, wait a moment. This palace will immediately send someone to fetch the money.”
Madam Zhao nodded and saw Qi Delong’s servants leave. Madam Zhao instructed the butler to bring over his books and contracts. As soon as the silver was brought over, the contract was immediately handed to Qi Delong. Qi Delong was about to flip through it when Su Wanwan grabbed it and tears flowed out of his eyes. “Mother!” How could you do this to me! You still haven’t given me a penny for my dowry, yet you’ve given Qiao Nuanyu so much! This contract cannot be signed. You must give it to me! ”
“Shut up!” Mrs. Zhao hatefully glanced at Su Wanwan. “In the end, you’ve only lived with me for a few months. As for Nuanyu, she’s my daughter from childhood. I don’t love her. Who cares about her?”
“Mother, I am your flesh and blood!” Su Wanwan’s tears grew bigger and bigger. Then, she threw the contract on the table angrily and stared fiercely at the contract. “Since you don’t give it to me, I’ll tear it up!” She said.
“Pa!” Su Wanwan wanted to pick up the contract, but it hit the table. The contract had already been picked up by Qi Delong.
Qi Delong picked up the contract and quickly pressed down his palm print. He laughed and looked at Su Wanwan with disdain. He smiled heartily, “Madam Zhao is really eager to have a mother like you. It’s great that Nuanyu has a mother like you. I will always let Nuanyu go home to see you in the future.”
“Yes.” Madam Zhao nodded. When he looked at Qiao Nuanyu, tears flowed out. Seeing that Qiao Nuanyu still had a faint scar on her face, he said, “Someone, take out the volcanic mud face cream I ordered from the Western Regions a few days ago.”
Volcanic mud? This was a high-end product! Qiao Nuanyu felt a little proud in her heart. She looked at Su Wanwan and said, “Mother, sister’s skin is not good. Why don’t you give it to her?”
“What’s there to use her for? This thing is unique. There’s only one! What about you if you give it to her?” Madam Zhao glared fiercely at Su Wanwan and said, “My pet is always Nuanyu. She is your sister. You have to let her go.”
“Mother …” Su Wanwan’s eyes were filled with tears. Hearing Qiao Nuanyu proudly accept the item, she said, “Thank you mother, but mother should treat elder sister better. Otherwise, elder sister will definitely be jealous.”
“You!” Su Wanwan was so angry that she wanted to rush over and tear it apart, but she was stopped by Qi Chengfeng.
Qiao Nuanyu and Qi Delong found an excuse to leave when they saw that their goal had been achieved.
As soon as they left, Madam Zhao’s tears immediately stopped, and Su Wanwan’s expression became calm.
How could Zhao shi still have the image of a loving mother just now! How could Su Wanwan still be jealous just now!
Su Wanwan gave a thumbs up and said, “I haven’t seen you in a few days. Mother’s acting is really getting better and better!”
“That’s not true! Who called me your mother!” Mrs. Zhao was very pleased with herself and thought to herself, How could she pamper Qiao Nuanyu, that beautiful bitch?
“Mother, do you think the Second Prince’s Mansion will cry after reading the contract?” Su Wanwan smiled.
“What do you say?” Madam Zhao smiled.
“…”
The Zhao Manor was peaceful, and the Second Prince’s Manor had become deathly lifeless for some reason.
