Chapter 533: Chapter 533 Asking For Help
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Yang s.h.i.+cheng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at this. “Cui, you’re such a good mother. If you weren’t caught, would you have emptied the Yang family for that ingrate, Yang Wanyu?”
So, just in case, he kept everything away and placed it in a secret compartment inside his study.
Of course, he wouldn’t give Yang Wanyu a single cent as her dowry. He would just give her an ordinary manor and shop.
As for the rest, he planned to ask the First Prince to take back the 100,000 taels of silver from the manor and exchange it for some cloth and jewelry for her dignity. He didn’t have any other way now.
Thinking of this, he packed up his things and turned around to rush to the residence of Prince Hui.
On the other end, after approving the memorial in the palace, Prince Hui and Prince Kang walked out together.
After they came out, Prince Kang stepped forward and said, “Eldest Brother, 1 heard that the Yang Family is asking for betrothal gifts from Third Brother in advance to prepare dowry for your concubine. What a great idea they have!
“Spending Third Brother’s money for another of his daughter’s dowry, your father-in-law sure is smart.”
How could Prince Hui not hear the sarcasm in his brother’s words? Although he was unhappy, he still turned his head and smiled. “Why, Fourth Brother, if you’re envious, I might also add some dowry for your consort.”
“There’s really no need. Although my in-laws aren’t very rich, we can still afford the dowry.” At this point, Prince Kang feared the First Prince would turn hostile and immediately added, “Sorry, 1 got to go. 1 have to go back and prepare my betrothal gifts.”
After saying that, he strode towards the palace gates.
Prince Hui was furious when he saw this. At the same time, he was also disgusted by Yang s.h.i.+cheng. It seemed that he had to find a successor as soon as possible, as he could not watch as the lucrative position of the Ministry of Revenue fell into the hands of others.
As soon as he entered the house, he heard his gatekeeper report, “Your Highness, Lord Yang s.h.i.+cheng is waiting for you in the living room.” “Did he say anything?”
“No, but he looks like he has something on his mind.”
“Got it.” After Prince Hui finished speaking, he thought of the upcoming marriage and hesitated for a moment before walking over.
When Yang s.h.i.+cheng saw him come in, he immediately stood up and said, “This lowly official greets Your Highness.”
“There’s no need to be so polite. Sit.” Prince Hui brushed Yang s.h.i.+cheng’s bow away and walked straight to the seat of honor to sit down.
After drinking a cup of tea, he asked, “Lord Yang, why are you here?”
“I do have a small matter to discuss.” After Yang s.h.i.+cheng finished speaking, he looked at the maidservant standing at the side.
Prince Hui understood his intentions and waved his hand to instruct her to leave.
Yang s.h.i.+cheng then told him his plan.
When Prince Hui heard that it was because of Yang Wanyu’s dowry, he immediately got angry and asked, “Is the rumor in the morning true? Did you really ask for betrothal gifts from my third brother?”
“It was this lowly official’s fault. This matter was arranged by my wife, and I really didn’t know beforehand.”
When Prince Hui heard this, he slammed the table angrily and scolded, “Don’t know this, don’t know that! You just don’t know anything, be it your daughter’s dowry or the loan shark business the Cui family is doing.
“Why do 1 feel that the one in charge of the Yang family is your wife and not you?”
Yang s.h.i.+cheng immediately lowered his head and did not dare to reply.
When Prince Hui saw this, he was furious. However, when he thought of the evidence in his hands, he could only say, “I will help you gather 30 sets of dowry, and I won’t be able to take out any more.
“As for the silver, you should keep it for yourself. Just buy something for your residence.”
“I’m afraid I’m being watched now, so it’s inconvenient for me to go and get it.” Yang s.h.i.+cheng hesitated and replied.
Hearing this, Prince Hui was shocked and asked softly, “Did you burn all the letters we exchanged previously? Is the silver safe?”
