The princess has no moral principles, why did you provoke her?

Chapter 138 Xiyue Enters the Mansion

Liu Baiwan is over 60 years old. His ancestors have been in business for generations, and he is good at business and has earned a considerable fortune.

The only thing is that although he has many concubines in the backyard, they have all given birth to daughters and no sons yet, which makes him very depressed.

Later, someone pointed out that these concubines and maids had no official background, and only by marrying the daughter of an official of the fourth rank or above could the Liu family continue its lineage.

Liu Baiwan also believed it and spent a large sum of money to marry the official's daughter.

Matchmaker Li is a frequent visitor to the Liu Mansion, and she has made a lot of money here.

When Xiao Liuzi saw Matchmaker Li arrive, he teased her with a smile, "Mrs. Li, you're addicted to making money. You have to come to the Liu Mansion every month to make money."

Matchmaker Li glared at him and said, "You bastard, you're teasing me again. Go and tell Mr. Liu."

Liu Baiwan is fat and has gray hair. Perhaps because he takes good care of himself, his face is greasy and his eyes are calculating.

A dark blue brocade robe with intricate designs embroidered on it, all made with gold and silver threads.

There was only a high-quality white jade pendant hanging on his waist, and cloud-head shoes on his feet.

At this moment, he was sitting in the flower hall, looking at the newly acquired jade screen with landscape patterns.

"Report, sir, Matchmaker Li is here."

Liu Baiwan didn't even look at it, still admiring the screen, and said in a steady voice: "Let her in."

Matchmaker Li walked in, beaming: "Congratulations, Mr. Liu! I'm here to congratulate you!"

Liu Baiwan didn't turn around, still admiring the screen: "Where does the joy come from?"

"There is a daughter of a second-rank official who wants to marry you."

This sentence was like a thunderclap. In this era, people believed that businessmen were full of money and had a low status.

He was delighted, but still a little skeptical: "Did his family suffer a disaster or a misfortune? Why are they so short of money?"

Matchmaker Li smiled from ear to ear: "Master, the Minister's Mansion is short of money, and we have money. This is a matter of mutual benefit."

After saying that, he handed the engagement letter to Liu Baiwan.

Matchmaker Li used her eloquent tongue to introduce him: "Mr. Liu, you are so lucky.

The young lady's name is Bai Xiyue. She is very beautiful and her skin is so tender that you can pinch water out of it.

Their family may really be in urgent need of money, otherwise, with Miss Bai's appearance, she would definitely marry a prince and become the mistress of the family."

"What do they want?"

"They are anxious to marry their daughter off, and they require you to deliver all the betrothal gifts tomorrow morning, otherwise Miss Bai may not be able to marry anyone."

Liu Baiwan closed his eyes and thought for a while. Then he said, "I'll send the betrothal gifts soon. Tomorrow night, they must send the person to the mansion."

There was murderous intent in his eyes, and his voice was fierce: "If they dare to accept the money and not give it back, I, Liu Baiwan, will make sure that they can no longer hold an official position and will not be able to gain a foothold in the capital."

"Master Liu, don't worry. This is what the maidservant of the Bai Mansion's eldest lady found me. There's no mistake about it. They have no reason to cheat you out of your money."

A hint of joy appeared on Liu Baiwan's face: "A concubine, no need to make any arrangements, just carry her into the mansion through the back door.

Matchmaker Li, if this matter is handled well, you will definitely get some benefits. Please follow the housekeeper to arrange it."

Matchmaker Li smiled so hard her mouth almost split to her ears: "Thank you, Master Liu!"

"Butler Xu, take two hundred thousand taels of silver and the deeds to ten shops, and go to Minister Bai's residence with Matchmaker Li.

Matchmaker Li and Butler Xu went out together, and soon they went to Minister Bai's residence with the betrothal gifts.

Yun Wanqing was delighted. She never expected that things would go so smoothly. She readily agreed to send Miss Bai to the mansion the next night.

…………

The next day, just after breakfast, Mrs. Bai took two maids to the Ye Mansion. She was afraid that Princess Zhan would not be there, which would be troublesome.

Ye Qingyan did not go to Baicaotang, and knew that Madam Bai would definitely raise the money, so she asked Bai Jinxin to simply pack two dresses and wait for news at home.

Mrs. Bai arrived at the flower hall, and Nanny Qin and Bai Jinxin were also present.

After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, Yun Wanqing took out the banknote and said, "Princess Zhan, this is a hundred thousand taels of silver. Thank you for taking care of my daughter."

Ye Qingyan gave a wink, and Nanny Qin took the banknote, counted it, and nodded.

Ye Qingyan said: "Jinxin, since the Bai Mansion insists on taking you back, you should go back. After all, that is your home.

We have known each other for a while, so come back and visit us when you have time, or we will miss you too."

Bai Jinxin quickly knelt down and said, "Thank you for your care these days, Master. I am leaving now, but I will come back to see you in the future."

Ye Qingyan instructed: "Jinxin, come back for help if you encounter any difficulties. This will always be your home."

"Yes!" Bai Jinxin kowtowed to Ye Qingyan.

Madam Bai was anxious to take her away, fearing that this damned girl would regret it again, so she quickly said, "Jinxin, your father is still waiting for you in the mansion, and you can come back to see Princess Zhan often."

Bai Jinxin's tears flowed down, "Master, I'm leaving." After saying that, she walked out.

Ye Qingyan nodded, looked at their backs as they left, and said coldly: "One wrong step, and everything will be lost.

She wanted to trick someone else's daughter, and her own daughter became the victim.

Feng Yi, Feng Jiu, these are the drug and the antidote. Go and protect Jin Xin in secret.

If my guess is correct, they will send Jinxin to the Liu Mansion tonight, and I will go to help then."

"Yes!"

…………

Bai Jinxin followed the eldest lady into the Bai Mansion, and Bai Xiyue and Aunt Feng also went to the eldest lady's courtyard.

Aunt Feng looked at the beautiful Bai Jinxin and felt a little regretful.

Bai Xiyue curled her lips at Bai Jinxin arrogantly: "I was wondering who it was, it turned out to be you, we met at Baicaotang.

When I wanted to see the divine fortune teller Xiao Qi, you were there to stop me, saying that someone above me wanted me to wait. I didn't expect that you were actually a member of the Bai family."

The eldest lady did not want to cause any more trouble, so she stopped him: "Xiyue, this is your sister Jinxin."

Bai Xiyue snorted coldly: "She is just a country bumpkin, a bastard who came out of nowhere, how can she be worthy of it."

Aunt Feng didn't like what she heard, "Miss Xiyue, I should call you Second Miss.

According to the master, her mother is the master's first wife, and the first wife is at best a concubine."

"Aunt Feng, what nonsense are you talking about? Only my mother is my father's first wife." Bai Xiyue was extremely angry.

The eldest lady was particularly offended by the word "equal wife", but in order to avoid returning the betrothal gifts, she had no choice but to stop them, saying, "Shut up, Xiyue, she is indeed your sister."

"Hmph, I've never had a sister, and I never will have one." Bai Xiyue ran away angrily.

The eldest lady smiled awkwardly: "Jinxin, don't mind it. Xiyue is still young after all, and she can't accept it for the time being. Don't argue with her."
