Chapter 275 Why is Shi so arrogant?
Isn’t Shi afraid that he might run away if she asks for too much?
Of course you are not afraid.
why?
Because Shi kept a close watch on the third branch of the Bo Mansion, especially Tang Wensu.
To put it bluntly, every move of everyone in the third room was under Shi's eyes, and she knew it very well.
Of course, she also knew that Tang Wensu and Yi Jingxiao had met.
“I didn’t expect that the damn girl Wen Su would actually catch the eye of Prince An. She is really lucky.
Since she was born in the Yongning Marquis's Mansion, she should contribute to the mansion.
Mother Yan, when the matchmaker comes to the house next time, tell her that we agree to the marriage. Prince An's Mansion wants to marry our Wen Su, but they need to agree to a few of my conditions.
First, as for the betrothal gifts, Prince An’s palace does not need to go through the trouble of looking for good things everywhere and prepare as much as possible.
That's too much trouble, just give me 500,000 taels directly.
Prince An's family is wealthy and powerful, and five hundred thousand is just a drop in the bucket for them.
Second, Prince An’s Mansion must arrange two official positions for our Earl’s Mansion, which cannot be lower than the fifth rank. This is a trivial matter and a piece of cake for Prince An.
The third point, and the most important one, is to ask Prince An for help so that my eldest son can inherit the title and become the new generation of Earl of Yongning, and pass it down for three generations.
In addition, I have a few small requests.
After Wen Su marries into the palace, she will definitely be the head of the household in the future.
Prince An's mansion is so big that even if she had three heads and six arms, there might be things she can't take care of.
I hope she can bring her two concubines with her when she marries him. She will be the principal wife, and the two concubines will be concubines. As the saying goes, "good things should be kept within the family."
That’s all for now. When I come up with something, I’ll tell Prince An’s Mansion. With the mansion’s capabilities, there’s definitely nothing it can’t do.”
When Mother Yan heard this, sweat broke out in her palms. Madam is so bold to ask for this.
She asked timidly, "Madam, aren't your conditions... a bit too much?"
Shi smiled and said, "A lot? I think it's not enough."
You know, Prince An only has one son, so he naturally dotes on him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have waited until now to get married.
Yi Jingxiao has taken a fancy to our Wen Su. Judging from his expression, even if he isn't determined to marry anyone else, he's pretty close.
Prince An will definitely agree. If he doesn't agree, there will probably be no descendants.
The people in Prince An’s mansion are all infatuated, just look at Yi Kezhen and you will know.
So, don't worry, this marriage will definitely be successful. It's time for our Yongning Earl's Mansion to flourish!"
Shi thought happily that this marriage was a great deal. By marrying off a maid, they would gain power, money and an official position in the mansion.
Alas, it’s a pity that there is only one Tang Wensu.
After hearing what the matchmaker said, Yu was so angry that she couldn't speak and swept everything on the table to the floor.
Seeing that their mother was very angry, Yi Jingxiao and Yi Keting went forward to rub her back while the other went over to touch her chest. It took a long time before Yu felt better.
"This Yongning Marquis's Mansion is simply nonsense. A marquis who is about to become a commoner, and a crown prince's consort in name only, how can they be so confident that we will agree to their conditions?
Xiao'er, the character of the Yongning Marquis is not worthy of being our in-laws.
Don't worry, your mother will definitely find you a better wife than Tang Wensu."
Yi Jingxiao was very sad: "Mother, I can't bear to leave Wen Su, and I can't bear to let her suffer in that family.
Calling it the Earl's Mansion is just a nice name; in fact, it is not even as good as an ordinary aristocratic family.
Wen Su and his family's third branch, no, it should be said that the other four branches of Yongning Marquis's mansion all lived under Shi's tyranny and lived a miserable life."
Yi Jingxiao sighed heavily and continued:
"Mother, this is the first time I've heard that a young lady from a noble family actually has to make a living by selling embroidery."
Prince An said, "Xiao'er, we haven't even become relatives yet, and Shi is already so rampant.
If this marriage goes through, with her personality, won't she bully us and act like a tyrant?"
Yi Keting was very puzzled: "I still don't understand why Shi is so arrogant?
Father, Mother, could it be that she has some leverage over our Prince An's Mansion?"
Prince An and Yu shook their heads together.
Yi Jingxiao explained: "Maybe I was too hasty and acted too concerned about Wen Su, which made Shi feel that there was an opportunity to take advantage of me."
Yi Keting asked hurriedly: "Brother, did you say something like 'I will not marry anyone other than Tang Wensu' or 'I will only marry her in this life'?"
Yi Jingxiao shook his head: "I didn't say that. However, when Tang Wensu and I met, we were reluctant to part, and Shi Shi must have seen it.
Dad only has me as his son. If I am really fascinated by Tang Wensu and insist on marrying her, Shi thinks that Dad will definitely agree to her conditions. "
Yi Keting knew that if it really came to that, her father and mother would probably compromise for her eldest brother.
