Wei Guanshu began to cry like rain, causing people to feel pity for his.
"Today, even if you die, I will bring you to the house of the Marquis." The old mistress' face froze and the corners of her lips curled up into a cold smile. She had been living with Wei Guanshu's act for so many years now, and she was already sick of it.
Just as the two servant girls were about to go forward to help Wei Guanshu up, they were suddenly startled by a dignified voice.
"Everyone says that the old mistress of the house of the Marquis is reasonable. I didn't expect her to be so unreasonable!" Yun Xie slowly walked over, and under the gaze of everyone present, he helped Wei Guanshu up.
"Your Highness." Wei Guanshu seemed to have experienced an unbearable ordeal, her voice was filled with tears.
"Now that the young mistress is unwell, why should the old mistress be so aggressive?" This is my Duke's Palace, not a place where you can be so arrogant. " Yun Xie said coldly.
"Wei Guanshu is my daughter-in-law, this is our family matter, Your Highness need not interfere." The madame showed no mercy. When she saw Yun Xie's cold and indifferent eyes, she was a little afraid, but when she thought about the current predicament the Hou clan was in, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue.
"Your Highness, allow me to speak with the madame." Although Wei Guanshu had already wiped off the tears on his face, her thick eyelashes still had two crystal clear tears hanging on them, which were like dew on a delicate flower, beautiful and charming.
"Prince, what elder sister said is right. Other people's family matters cannot be ignored by outsiders." Wei Yuanwei intimately grabbed onto Yun Xie's arm.
The two of them stood at the end of the long corridor, looking at the sky where dark clouds were rolling.
The raindrops that gathered on top of the eaves were dripping drop by drop, splas.h.i.+ng onto Wei Yuanwei's skirt. She seemed to not know of this at all. Sometimes she felt that he had seen through Yun Xie, and sometimes she felt that he knew nothing about him.
"Prince wants elder sister to stay?" Wei Yuanwei's voice was a little weak, the oath he had made that night seemed to have vanished into thin air with the heavy rain. Men are always so fickle.
Yun Xie remained silent.
"If it's not about love, could the prince give me a sufficient reason to convince me?"
Yun Xie was not a person who overflowed with love. If it were not for love, he would not adopt a widow, or perhaps, Wei Yuanwei wanted a reason that would allow him to firmly believe that she could continue down this path.
This kind of Wei Yuanwei made Yun Xie's heart ache. He suddenly hugged Wei Yuanwei tightly, as if he was afraid of losing her.
"You only need to believe in me. In the future, I will give you the answer you want."
"Alright, I believe in your highness." Wei Yuanwei slowly closed her eyes. A person in love always had zero IQ, even if she was cruel and merciless before.
Since he had chosen to give him a chance, why not trust him completely once? At least he had no regrets.
Wei Guanshu's delicate face had already retreated, her cold eyes staring at the old lady: "Old fox, you have indeed taken a great step forward, if I had not lived in Evil King's residence, you would have already ignored my life, why did I not see a person appear in the house of the Marquis when I was kidnapped?"
"It's been a long time since you and I have spoken our hearts out to each other like this, and I'm afraid that we won't have this opportunity in the future. I know that no matter what, you will stay in the Duke Palace, otherwise it won't be your, Wei Guanshu's, actions."
She was already certain that she wasn't going to leave, and thus did all that she could to torment herself. Wei Guanshu's beautiful and delicate face was instantly torn by anger to the point where it became somewhat sinister.
"What exactly do you want? Is my dowry not enough to fill the bottomless pit that the marquis had lived in for so many years? " Wei Guanshu clenched his teeth and said.
The old lady laughed as she shook her head, "This old one was also forced to do so. You can leave the house of the Marquis and leave, but you must at least seek some benefits for your nephew and niece. Perhaps in the future you will fly up the tree branches and become a phoenix, and the entire Evil King's Mansion will be in your hands.
This old fox really had a good plan.
"What do you want?" Wei Guanshu clenched his teeth and said.
"Xuan'er, Lu'er still has a few more years before entering the civil service. I want the Prime Minister to find a good job for my grandchildren."
These people were all useless, so Grandfather could arrange for them to take a few idle jobs. It was just that this old fox wanted more than just these things.
"Right now, the Hou Mansion is in danger. Many of the manors have been taken away, and the shops under the Hou Mansion's name have also suffered losses. If you can make up for these losses, then you will have nothing to do with the Hou Mansion in the future." The madame's face was filled with a warm smile.
"Just how much do you want?" Wei Guanshu had already lost her patience.
The old mistress extended five fingers.
"Five thousand taels?" Why don't you go to the cash register? " Wei Guanshu sarcastically said.
The madame shook her head.
"Fifty thousand silver?" Are you crazy? " Wei Guanshu's face was sinister, she only had that much private money in her hands, she would never give it to this old fox.
"Fifty thousand gold." The madame said in a low voice.
"He really is crazy." Wei Guanshu really wanted to go up and tear off the old granny's skin to see how dark her heart was!
"I believe you can do it." The old mistress' smile was full of meaning.
She knew that no matter how much conditions she had, she would agree to it. Wei Guanshu got up from the bed in a fl.u.s.tered manner and was about to scratch the old lady's face.
The door suddenly opened, and Wei Guanshu staggered down from the bed. The madame helped her up with a look of love: "Shu'er, since you don't want to leave, how could I force you? This old one only hopes that you can recover quickly. This old one can wait for your good news. "
Wei Guanshu squeezed out a stiff smile on her face. "Thank you for your understanding, Old Madam." But where would she be able to get that fifty thousand gold?
The old lady bowed towards Yun Xie: "Thank you for taking care of Shu'er these few days, Your Highness and Princess. If I have offended any of you, please forgive me.
Since the other party was already so humble, Yun Xie naturally could not say anything. She could only slightly bow her hands and send the madame out of the manor.
"Has little sister seen how miserable my life was before today?" Wei Guanshu's face revealed a bitter smile.
Bitter? And was she despised in the stable? No matter what, Wei Guanshu had spent a few years in the Marquis Mansion in glory, and now that he saw his husband's family decline, he turned towards his first love, as expected of a sensible woman.
"Little sister, you must think that you want to stay in the palace no matter what means you have, right?" Wei Guanshu held Wei Yuanwei's hand, looking extremely ashamed and helpless.
