Chapter 124 The poor little girl who was married off VS the inhumane prince 9
After all, truth cannot be hidden, and the news that the two daughters of Yongling Marquis’ mansion were married to the wrong people eventually spread out.
It has caused a lot of discussion.
"Have you heard that Yu Wan, the most beautiful woman in the capital who was supposed to marry the Prince of Jin, married the newly crowned number one scholar Li Luoshu, and her half-sister who was supposed to marry Li Luoshu married the Prince of Jin instead."
"How could such an outrageous thing happen? Could it be that the Yongling Marquis's Mansion married off two daughters on the same day, and the wedding scene was too chaotic, so the two sisters got into the sedan chair by mistake?"
"I heard that the concubine's daughter coveted the wealth of the Prince of Jin's mansion, so she knocked out her elder sister before getting on the bridal sedan, and then got on the bridal sedan herself and married into the Prince of Jin's mansion!"
"That concubine is too bold. Such a greedy woman deserves to be beaten to death. But why didn't the Prince Jin's Mansion send her back?"
"I think the Jin Palace is afraid of losing face, so they can only accept it with a pinch of their nose!"
In the teahouses on the streets of the capital, a group of ordinary people with nothing to do gathered together, constantly analyzing the truth of the matter.
The rumor grew more and more intense, spreading all over the capital, and even three-year-old children knew about it.
When Yu Yao heard the rumors outside, she was completely shocked.
"She coveted the wealth of the Prince of Jin's Mansion, knocked Yu Wan unconscious, and then eagerly married into the Prince of Jin's Mansion? Just to become the Crown Prince's Consort?"
Yu Yao was furious. "It was Yu Wan who knocked her out, okay? This is nonsense."
Siqin and Sihua also expressed their anger.
"Princess, where did these rumors come from? They are just nonsense. I will tear their mouths off."
Siqin, who had the loyalty talisman on her face, was even angrier than Yu Yao, and threatened to tear someone's mouth apart.
Si Hua also echoed the words from the side, looking equally angry.
"Let it spread. People have their mouths open and we can't stop them one by one. After all, I am a concubine's daughter, so it is natural for people to think in this way."
Yu Yao leaned back in the gold-threaded soft chair and said nonchalantly.
Of course, it's just a surface indifference.
In fact, he had already begun to ask the system in his heart, "Tongtong, who leaked the news? Is there someone behind this?"
The system quickly popped up and replied, "It was the wife of Yongling Marquis Meng. She hated you for taking her daughter's position as the Crown Prince's Consort, so she put the blame on you. She wanted you to have a hard time in the Prince Jin's Mansion and to not be able to hold your head up in the capital."
Yu Yao's eyes flashed with sternness, "So it was her good stepmother, that's no wonder."
Tomorrow is the third day of the New Year's visit, so there is no need to rush to deal with Mrs. Meng.
The most important thing right now is to suppress the rumor first. If it continues to spread, her reputation in the capital will be ruined.
But how to suppress the rumors is a problem.
Yu Yao was thinking about how to suppress the rumors.
Then someone came to report that the prince was so angry in his study that he almost smashed it down.
She was slightly stunned and roughly guessed why Nangong Yan was angry.
Nangong Yan has a very good temper and is a very gentle man. The fact that he was so angry that he smashed the study room shows how angry he was.
The study room in the Prince's Courtyard of Prince Jin's Mansion.
Nangong Yan's usual gentleness disappeared, and was replaced by a gloomy face and an extremely scary appearance.
"Yingyi, go check for me. I want to know where the rumors about the Crown Prince's wife came from."
"Ying Er, go and suppress all the unfavorable rumors about the Crown Prince's Consort, and then announce to the public that something went wrong on the wedding day at the Yongling Marquis' Mansion, and that's why the bride was chosen by mistake."
"Yes, prince!"
"Yes, prince!"
As two voices fell one after another, the two dark shadows that were originally standing in the study suddenly disappeared strangely, as if they had never appeared.
Yu Yao had already arrived at the door of the study, and her spiritual sense could sense the movement inside.
But he did not rush in. Instead, he waited until the secret guard left before pushing the door open.
Nangong Yan heard the sound of the door being pushed open, put on a serious expression, turned around and saw her coming in.
"Yao'er, why are you here?"
He put on a gentle smile and walked over, dignified and elegant, tall and straight. Yu Yao raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and also walked ahead of him, "I heard that the master was very angry in the study. I was worried, so I came to take a look."
Nangong Yan frowned slightly, "Which servant is so talkative that he would even tell you such a trivial matter."
Seeing her staring at him, he smiled helplessly and explained, "It's nothing, it's just about our wedding. People outside don't know the truth, so the rumors are not very good."
Yu Yao smiled slightly, "So that's what it is. Let it spread. We can't control what others say."
A quick glance revealed that books and paintings were scattered all over the floor, and a lot of porcelain was broken. The entire study was in a mess, with no place to step.
So I wanted to clean it up.
She picked up the books scattered on the ground, dusted them off, and then put them back on the desk.
"Don't move. There are a lot of broken porcelain on the ground. It's easy to cut your hands. Let the servants clean it up."
Nangong Yan hurriedly stopped her.
Thinking of something, he said, "Tomorrow is the day you return home. I have asked someone to prepare gifts. Do you want to go and see them?"
Yu Yao smiled slightly and said nonchalantly: "Just arrange it, I don't need to watch it."
The original owner's aunt had died long ago, and the original owner was not liked by Marquis Yongling, and was just an insignificant concubine in the Marquis's mansion.
The reason why the original owner was able to live and grow up under the care of the Meng family was, firstly, that he was honest and decent, and secondly, the old lady felt sorry for him and often took care of him.
If there was anything in the Marquis' Mansion that was worth the original owner's concern, it was the old lady.
Nangong Yan nodded slightly, knowing that she was not having a good time in the Marquis' Mansion, so he didn't say anything.
He took out a box from the bottom cabinet of the desk and handed it to Yu Yao, "Here you go."
"what?"
Yu Yao was stunned for a moment, then took the box out of habit and looked at it in her hand, "Is this a gift for me?"
"You'll know when you open it and take a look."
Nangong Yan looked at her tenderly and urged her in a very good mood.
Yu Yao glanced at him, opened the box, and saw banknotes neatly arranged inside.
She took them out in surprise and found that the face value of each silver note was one thousand taels, and there was a thick stack of them.
She scanned with her spiritual sense and found that it was a full three hundred thousand taels. She was completely shocked, "You are really going to give me all these silver notes?"
Is this man so good? He actually took the initiative to hand over his private money.
Still such a large number.
"Of course it's true. My father's property is also managed by my mother. I will also hand it over to you. You don't have to worry about it in the future. How great."
Nangong Yan looked casual, smiling as if he really didn't care.
As he spoke, he took out a box from another cabinet and handed it to Yu Yao with a smile, "Inside these are the properties I have acquired in various places in Jing Dynasty, including restaurants, cloth shops, and other things. I will hand them over to my wife to take care of them in the future."
The corner of Yu Yao's mouth twitched. Does she really think of herself as a housekeeper?
Then he refused and shook his head frantically, "Don't give it to me, take care of it yourself, and I don't understand those things."
She really doesn't understand and has never done business before. What if she loses money?
"You really don't care?" Nangong Yan looked at her in surprise.
His industries were spread throughout the Jing Dynasty, and he controlled almost half of the economy of the Jing Dynasty, but no one knew that those industries were his.
He really wanted to let her take care of him, but he also had a testing mindset.
If she answered, Nangong Yan wouldn't say anything, but his feelings for her would definitely be worse.
Yu Yao smiled and raised the stack of banknotes in her hand, and said with a smile: "Forget about the property, but I can take care of these banknotes. My husband is responsible for making money and I am responsible for spending it. How great."
Nangong Yan can earn so much money, which shows that he must be very talented in business. Why should I worry about it?
Nangong Yan looked at her with a smile on his face, his gentle eyes showing a hint of doting, "You are really good at being lazy."
He was very glad that it was she who married him, and he also had a premonition that his married life would be very happy.
