Jiang Yuyu happily made the promise, but felt a little resentful that Mr. Cheng specifically brought He Lianye up.
That monster doesn't have a special status in her heart... right?
No wonder Master Cheng asked her to swear that the truth was not much different from what she imagined, but Cheng Siyan's cousin was obviously more shameless than she thought.
The fifth lady of the Cheng family is pregnant.
Naturally, the child belongs to that scumbag cousin, but now he doesn't want to admit it honestly. The lion is asking Master Cheng to prepare five hundred thousand taels of silver and three mansions in the capital for him, otherwise he will not accept the marriage.
, and would go everywhere to publicize the scandal that the fifth lady of the Cheng family was pregnant before she left the cabinet.
What is the concept of five hundred thousand taels? According to the current price of goods in Luan Kingdom, twenty taels is enough for an ordinary family of three to live for one year. Five hundred thousand taels plus three houses, this is a real huge sum of money
.
The Cheng family has been officials for generations, and their ancestors also had ancestors who were good at business. They had a lot of money, but they couldn't come up with so much money at once. Besides...
"Even if he can get it, dad can't give it to him. If he dares to be so arrogant now, a hundred years from now, your fifth sister won't have anyone to support you... How can you live a good life in his hands?"
"Dad just wanted to pretend to agree to the marriage and send your fifth sister out. If she wants to have a baby, she can give birth secretly. Our Cheng family is not afraid of raising a baby. Even if your fifth sister complains about dad now, she will wait a little longer.
Years later, she might understand..."
Mr. Cheng couldn't continue talking, Jiang Yuyu quickly comforted him, "She just hasn't been out of the house and met too few men. That's why she was so easily deceived by a few sweet words. She will never be stupid all the time."
Go down."
In fact, Miss Fifth may not necessarily be so devoted to Cheng Siyan's cousin, otherwise she wouldn't have been so jealous that He Lianye was so kind to her yesterday, so she wouldn't have said evil words out of jealousy.
Although this sounds strange... but if you think about it carefully, it is indeed the case, but it doesn't sound like what the daughter of a boudoir would say.
Mr. Cheng was stunned for a moment, but he also felt that he had seen hope, and his mood instantly improved a lot, "It's good if you can figure it out, it's good if you can figure it out."
"Then I'll set off at dawn tomorrow?" Jiang Yuyu is a man of action, and from yesterday afternoon to night, she and Helian had gone too far... She wanted to sneak away and calm down.
"Tomorrow?" When did my daughter become so impatient? "Okay, tomorrow is tomorrow. Go to bed early today, and don't forget to bring more clothes. Although Taoxian County is close, it is much colder than the capital.
"
"...Peach County?"
"What's wrong? Isn't the house that dad prepared for you in Tao County?"
"...Nothing, um, I'll go back and pack my things first."
After talking to Mr. Cheng for a few more words, Jiang Yuyu left the study. She had almost forgotten all the things about the fifth lady of the Cheng family. There was only one shock left in her heart - Taoxian.
The place Mr. Cheng was talking about just now is Tao County.
But the lake where she almost drowned when crossing was in Li County.
Helianye had given her a pamphlet before, which contained common knowledge that everyone in the capital of Yueluan Kingdom knew, including some geographical information. She clearly remembered that the two counties were in the east and west, and after leaving the capital, they left
It's completely two directions.
In other words...from the very beginning, Cheng Siyan never wanted to live in that small house temporarily according to Master Cheng's arrangement?
