In this way, the loss of Cuizhuyuan is placed on the Hou Mansion. It sounds like the Hou Mansion is really unjust.
Moreover, they all know that Shen Mingzhu is extremely rich. There are probably not many ladies in the capital who are as rich as her, yet they actually give her money. This is simply stealing from the poor and giving to the rich.
But the emperor had given an order and no one was allowed to criticize, so they had no choice but to complain in private.
Shen Can and other officials involved in determining the outcome of the case in the Qianqing Palace also knew that Xiao Xian had obtained the one hundred thousand taels of silver for Shen Mingzhu.
When it was first mentioned, it was two hundred thousand taels, but now the Hou Mansion was trying to sell iron and did not have two hundred thousand taels, so the emperor said a hundred thousand taels, and Xiao Xian did not object again.
Shen Can felt that Xiao Xian's price was definitely 100,000 yuan, which gave the emperor a 100,000 yuan counteroffer. Thinking about it, it really made people laugh.
As expected, those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to Mo are black. In the past, King Yan did not care about money at all, but since he followed his Mingzhu, he always thought of ways to make money for Mingzhu.
And he will never be soft-hearted.
Shen Can looked at this son-in-law, and the more he looked at him, the more he fell in love with him. He felt that he was really worthy of his daughter.
The emperor issued an order to deal with Mrs. Chen. As soon as the Hou family received the imperial edict, the whole family burst into mourning, and Mrs. Chen fainted on the spot.
Liu Ning also had a cold face and looked like he wanted to eat someone, but it was too late to say anything about divorcing his wife at this time. After all, the imperial edict had been issued, and his palace was also implicated.
Moreover, the emperor clearly felt that his wife's misbehavior was due to his husband's lack of education and restraint, so the prince's family was also affected and could not divorce his wife.
Liu Ning was so angry that she vomited a mouthful of blood on the spot, her face became whiter than paper, and she fainted.
In the end, Liu Lingzhou accepted the order and rewarded the eunuch who issued it.
After returning to the house and closing the door, they began to feel uncomfortable.
When they first heard that the Marquis Mansion was downgraded to the Bo Mansion, they thought it was like having their hearts ripped out. But when they heard that Shen Mingzhu would be compensated 100,000 taels of silver, they simply felt that there was no way out.
This is more extreme than gouging out the heart, it is like cutting off the blood vessels in their whole body and draining all the blood.
It's simply impossible to live.
Liu Zhifen was crying there, "With one hundred thousand taels of silver, how dare she speak so loudly? It's so shameless. As for my sister, won't she help to speak and persuade the emperor? I think my sister has entered the palace. After marrying the little prince, I started to forget about my family and didn’t want to care about us at all.”
If the family can't come up with a hundred thousand taels, they will definitely come to get her private money. Not only that, the family's life will definitely plummet in the future.
She can no longer have so many people at her disposal, and she can no longer have so many beautiful clothes, jewelry, and expensive rouge and gouache.
All gone!
She simply couldn't imagine how she could live without those things. She was a well-dressed and well-fed princess, even more delicate than a princess. Now that she was asked to live a hard life, how could she survive?
Now that her parents are both angry and sick, the eldest brother is not at home and only the second brother is here, so she can only make trouble with the second brother.
Liu Lingzhou's head was about to explode because of her fuss, "You'd better tell your parents. I'm not in charge of the family. I don't know how much money we have."
He estimated that there might be ten thousand taels of silver in the accounting room outside, and a few thousand taels in the inner house. Apart from that, there really wasn't much more.
