After coming out, Chunxi said indignantly, “The old madam is too annoying. She won’t even let go of such a small amount of silver.”

“Alright, stop talking. To begin with, she’s a greedy person, so this was to be expected.

“Let’s hurry up and show our faces in front of my father.” After Yang Wanning finished speaking, she asked about the situation as she walked toward her father’s courtyard.

In the end, she realized that Yang Shicheng had already left.

The two of them were just about to leave and give Yang Chenglin some money when they bumped into Mrs. Cui.

Mrs. Cui interrogated her again and got the same answer.

As for the fact that the Gu family was poor, she did not doubt it. After all, she had heard how badly the Gu family had been raided back then.

However, when she saw Yang Wanning, she thought of an idea and asked, “Oh right, did you overhear from the Gu family when the Third Prince will offer your betrothal gifts?

“Your wedding date is not far away.”

Yang Wanning looked at her bright eyes and quickly understood what she was thinking. Mrs. Cui wanted to use her betrothal gift as Yang Wanyu’s dowry, which was shameless to the extreme.

Thinking of this, she shook her head and replied, “I haven’t heard of it. However, the Third Prince’s main consort has yet to marry in.

“No matter what, I have to wait until the main consort is married for a full month before he has time to marry a secondary consort.”

“There’s no such thing. The earlier he sends the betrothal gift, the better it is. I can also prepare your dowry earlier.”

Yang Wanning’s face instantly turned red after hearing that. However, it was not because she was embarrassed but because she was pissed.

However, she pretended to be shy and said, “This, this matter has to be discussed between you and Father.”

After saying that, she turned around and ran out.

Mrs. Cui didn’t think much about it but was annoyed by Yang Wanning’s lack of concern.

However, she had to admit that Yang Wanning’s concerns were valid and could only put them aside for the time being.

Mrs. Cui then went to Cui’s family after dinner.

At night, in her interspace, Zhou Ying told Gu Chengrui about the Cui family’s participation in the business of loaning money and charging high interest rates. “Do you think King Rui will interfere in this matter?”

“With his personality, he might, but the consequences would be more detrimental than beneficial.

“We don’t know if the Empress and her son are involved. If they clash in advance because of this, it won’t be good for us.” Gu Chengrui explained.

He looked up at her and smiled dotingly. “Oh, Mother Goddess, you can tell the Emperor about this. 1 don’t think he will just stand by and do nothing.”

“Would he care about such trivial matters?”

“This is not a small matter. The country doesn’t even legalize gambling, let alone loan sharks. Otherwise, the country would fall into chaos.

“Moreover, if it were Mother Goddess bringing it up, he would have to take it seriously on account of you.”

“Alright, I’ll give it a try.”

After saying that, Zhou Ying went to get busy.

After she was done, she gave the Emperor a dream and deliberately mentioned that many had died because of this.

Zhou Ying had just withdrawn her spiritual senses when the Emperor woke up. He looked at the dark sky outside and stared at it blankly.

At the same time, he was a little excited. He didn’t expect Mother Goddess to appear in his dreams.

This led him to think that the Cui family had done something heinous, so he called Xiao Heng over and ordered him to investigate the Cui family’s loan sharks in private.

Although Xiao Heng was curious about how he knew about this, he did not ask further.

He had heard rumors about it, so he personally left the palace and led his men to start investigating.

Since Mrs. Cui was in a hurry to get more money, the Cui family was also acting far more boldly than before. This made it much easier for Xiao Heng to investigate.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of King Rui’s wedding.

Early in the morning, after confirming that the wedding envoy had set off, Zhou Ying brought Haitang a wedding gift of 888 taels that she had prepared earlier..
