The Wei Zhuang family was sentenced to beheading, so that was the end of it.
Three days later, Wei Zi and Feng Danyuan came to the Wei family to take back their dowry.
Mr. Wei's head turned gray overnight and his heart was filled with despair. He handed a few banknotes to Wei Zi: "This is all the money of the Wei family. If you keep forcing me, take my life."
Wei Fei stared at Wei Zi fiercely, wishing he could eat her flesh and drink her blood.
Wei Xuan no longer tried to hide it and glared at Wei Zi.
The same goes for other aunts and children of the Wei family.
Wei Zidang didn't see it, so he took the banknote and looked at it, then frowned: "Two thousand taels?"
Not even enough to compensate her mother for a pair of white jade bracelets.
"Send the beggar away?" Feng Danyuan put the tea cup on the table with a bang.
Mr. Wei took out another box and put it on the table: "To be honest, the Wei family suffered a huge loss in the matter of military supplies two years ago. Later, they were exempted from the qualification of 'Imperial Merchant'. Creditors came one after another and paid back all their cash."
It’s all gone… these two thousand taels are all the family can scrape together…”
If it weren't for the emptiness at home, he wouldn't be embarrassed to cater to the marriage of Prince Yan.
But who would have expected that not only did they not reap any benefits, but they also put the Wei family into a desperate situation.
When Wei Zi opened the box, she was even more surprised: the contents inside were all IOUs. When she flipped them over, she found that there were five to six hundred thousand taels!
She rarely cursed, but at this moment, she really wanted to curse.
"What do you mean? Let Miss Wei San pay back the money?" Feng Danyuan sneered: "Do you think too highly of her? She looks like a victim, and you really treat her like a victim!"
Wei Zi looked at Feng Danyuan in surprise, he actually said what was in her heart.
"I don't dare, I just told Wei Zi that the Wei family really has no money." Mr. Wei was hopeless and no longer afraid of Feng Danyuan.
Wei Zi closed the IOU box with a sharp look: "I said, if you can't afford the compensation, then go bankrupt! Mr. Wei, if you don't have any cash, then sell the shop and the Wei family mansion to pay for it!"
"Wei Zi, you hurt my mother, and you still want to force us to death!" Wei Fei screamed.
"Wei Zi, you bullied others too much, there will be retribution!" Wei Xuan also said angrily.
Wei Zi sneered: "Are your lives worth anything? What do I need these for? If the Wei family doesn't move my mother's dowry, why haven't they come out today? Now I'm forcing you to do it?"
"The debts of the Wei family have nothing to do with me! As for my mother's dowry, even if the Wei family goes to the street to beg, they still have to spit it out! Even if this matter is brought to the feet of the emperor, I am justified!"
Master Wei looked at Wei Zi with confusion in his eyes. Is this aggressive woman his third daughter who is being manipulated?
Feng Danyuan said leisurely on the side: "After writing the petition, I am familiar with the palace, and I will help you deliver it. If you embezzle the dowry, let's fight this lawsuit wherever you go. Win every fight!"
The Wei family could no longer say a word.
"Then there will be Prince Lao." Wei Zi saluted Feng Danyuan and followed his pole.
Master Wei trembled his lips and said: "You don't need to trouble the eldest son, let alone bother the emperor for such a trivial matter... I will sell off the property as soon as possible and make up the money for Wei Zi." The latter sentence was considered a bite.
Said with gritted teeth.
"Ten days." Feng Danyuan gave the deadline.
What else could Mr. Wei say?
That's it for the dowry, so there's only one last thing left -
"Please give me the marriage contract document between me and my second son," Wei Zi said.
Mr. Wei looked at Feng Danyuan and said with a wry smile: "It's really not because of my lack of dedication. The second son said that since the engagement has been made, there is no reason to cancel the engagement. He hopes that the wedding will be held as scheduled..."
"What?" Wei Zi's eyes widened and he couldn't help but look at Feng Danyuan, his eyes full of questions: What's going on, the Yan Palace refuses to cancel the engagement?
A trace of surprise also flashed in Feng Danyuan's eyes, and the corners of his lips slowly raised: "What, my sick second brother is awake?"
