Chapter 196 Blackmail
Not to mention being a matchmaker, he was blocked after just opening his mouth. Tan Yue left the study room in a daze.
He was an impatient person and immediately sent someone to the Liyang Hou Mansion.
Mr. Liyang thought there was good news, so he stole two jars of good wine from his father, and he left the mansion in a daze.
On this side, the Prince of Hou of Liyang rode a horse out of the mansion, and on the other side, a man rode a horse and stopped in front of the Duke of Yu's mansion.
With a raised hand, a dagger was inserted into the gate of the Duke of Yu's Mansion.
A letter was tied to the dagger.
After delivering the letter, the man rode away on horseback. The servant at the gatekeeper of the Duke of Yu was so scared that he quickly took the letter off and sent it to the Duke of Yu for a look.
A blackmail letter.
Before noon tomorrow, 50,000 taels of silver notes were not delivered to the designated place, and the confession of the Prince of Yu's Kingdom would appear on the desk of Dali Temple.
The letter did not sign anyone, but the Duke of Yu knew it well, that was Qi Moyuan extorting him.
He was so angry that his whole body trembled. The Duke of Yu cursed, "I don't believe that he really dared to send his confession to Dali Temple!"
The Duke of Yu looked at him, "What's wrong with him?"
Their son joined forces with Qi Xuan'er to plot against his own sister. Will he be merciful?
But he also drugged his son, which made his legs weak and it was not enough to stand. He had to blackmail 50,000 taels, and his appetite was too big!
These people didn't think about it. What they and the second master liked was the military power in the prince's hands. Compared with the military power in the prince, what is a mere 50,000 taels worth?
The prince knew the old lady's temperament and would not make things worse by Qi Moyuan and Jiang Wan. The prince did not want the rumors about the disagreement of sisters in the royal family to be laughed at. The 50,000 taels were compensated for Qi Moyuan and Jiang Wan.
But if the 50,000 taels of Yu Duke's Mansion were not given, and the old lady would still make the case for the 50,000 taels of Yu Duke's Mansion, then the prince would not leave any face to them.
The Duke of Yu was unwilling to pay the 50,000 taels, so she sent someone to deliver a letter to her second wife. Instead of the 50,000 taels to Qi Moyuan, she might as well give Qi Xuan'er a dowry.
The Duke of Yu was based on the idea of not letting the outsiders not flowing to the outsiders. He gave Qi Xuan'er the possibility of returning. Is it possible to give Qi Moyuan?
When the second wife heard that her daughter was killed so badly, Qi Moyuan was still knocking at the Duke of Yu's mansion. She was so angry that she immediately went to find the old lady. As a result, the old lady scolded her, "Is it the head on your neck or the lump on your neck?!"
"The prince is extorting the Duke of Yu's mansion to give you a step forward, and he is also taking the opportunity to make things worse for you."
"You're fine, don't want the ready-made steps. You want Xuan'er and the Prince of Yu to join forces to kill Qinglan. Everyone knows that the prince is forced to be an enemy of the Duke of Yu's mansion?!"
They all knew that the relationship between the prince and the Duke of Yu State could not be good.
However, the Prince Jing'an Mansion and the Duke of Yu are still in-laws. With her old lady here, even if the prince and Duke of Yu are not in good relationship, they will not break up on the surface.
But if he wants to kill Princess Qinglan, everyone knows that this matter is still a mess. The prince still swallows his anger and takes care of his niece. Then, King Jing'an, will not be in charge of military power.
The second wife was so angry, "But that 50,000 taels is so cheap for the prince?"
The old lady was so sorry for her, "Do you think she really cares about the 50,000 taels?! Which of the three shops that the emperor rewarded was not worth 50,000 taels?!"
"What kind of climate can you make if your eyelids are so shallow?!"
The second wife did not get the help she wanted and was scolded by the old lady, so she felt so uncomfortable.
She sent her maid back to the Duke of Yu's wife. She didn't want the Duke of Yu's mansion to pay the money, but the old lady asked her to put the overall situation first.
Anyway, it was not her who refused to help, but the old lady.
The Duke of Yu was angry with the old lady and had no choice but to do anything about it.
Let’s talk about the side courtyard, Tan Yue was eating in the pavilion and eating alone, which was so lonely.
Prince Hou of Liyang came over, his mouth twitched again and again, "This taste, Brother Tan, how did you eat?"
The smell of donkey skin is so strong that it almost spreads the entire side courtyard.
Tan Yue glanced at him, "I'm used to it."
When he heard Tan Yue's squinting eyes, Mr. Liyang's Hou's heart skipped a beat and shouted "Not good".
Didn’t he come to the door again to help make donkey skin?
Mr. Hou of Liyang forced himself to hold back his regret and sat down, saying, "Brother Tan is in a hurry to call me, right?"
Tan Yue said, "Don't worry, I didn't ask you to make donkey skin."
Liyang Hou Shizi, “….”
Did Brother Tan eavesdrop on his heart just now?
He put the wine jar down and said, "That's it?"
Tan Yue said, "I told you to your uncle and aunt that you wanted to marry your cousin. My aunt didn't say anything. My uncle asked your father, Marquis of Liyang, to mention it to him."
Prince Hou of Liyang was nervous at first, and then said strangely, "Why did I ask my father to mention it?"
Tan Yue said, "I thought about it for a long time, and I guess this matter should be done."
"It's always unreasonable for me to mention it, but it's reasonable for your father to mention it."
The prince of the Liyang Hou was overjoyed.
He felt that Tan Yue’s guess should be correct.
After all, he is also a regular visitor to the Jing'an Prince's Mansion. Among outsiders, he and the third young master of the Duke of Pei's Mansion are definitely the most visited. They are Tan Yue's good brother, so they will get the moon first when they are close to the water.
In a good mood, the Marquis of Liyang accompanied Tan Yue to have dinner, and then returned to the mansion in a hurry to propose marriage to his father and the prince.
He couldn't wait for a moment.
As a result, the Marquis of Liyang frowned and couldn't loosen his eyebrows, "Do you want to marry Princess Qinglan?"
Mr. Hou of Liyang nodded repeatedly.
To be honest, if it weren't for the question of his father's words, he would have suspected that the expression on his father's face was questioning that the toad wanted to eat swan meat.
"yes."
"I asked Brother Tan to help me. He told King Jing'an that King Jing'an would like to tell him my father."
Mrs. Liyang Hou was the same as Tan Yue’s thoughts and said happily, “King Jing’an should like our son.”
The Hou of Liyang frowned and couldn't loosen his eyebrows, "Do you know what King Jing'an means?"
Mrs. Liyang Hou and Liyang Hou Prince looked at him together.
The Marquis of Liyang helped his forehead and said, "The King of Jing'an asked me to beat him up."
Prince of the Marquis of Liyang, “…???”
Mrs. Liyang Hou didn't believe it, "How could it be like this?"
The Marquis of Liyang sighed, "You forgot that you wanted to ask your son for your second daughter, half a month ago, so I slapped him with King Xian. Just as King Jing'an passed by, he heard it, and he even glanced at me."
"You said I would help him marry the second daughter of King Xian. He privately asked Chang'enhou to help him marry Princess Qinglan. King Jing'an returned Chang'enhou so that we were able to communicate more with us father and son, and not to have a single idea, and then the bad things happened."
"What do you mean by saying this isn't asking me to beat him up?"
Liyang Hou Shizi, “….”
real.
My heart is cold.
He knew that his parents were all determined to let him marry a wife, but he refused again and again.
His parents did these things on his back, and King Jing'an found out. Does he still have hope?
Mrs. Liyang Hou glared at him, "You said you, if you like Princess Qinglan, you won't tell us."
Mr. Liyang was tired, "I told you, I'm afraid I'll get married soon."
Don’t know your own parents too well as your son. You can still choose slowly without a lover. If you have a lover, you are still a person with a engagement. In order to cut off his thoughts, you must quickly get married and let him calm down.
Mrs. Liyang Hou also knew that it was not blamed for her son. She looked at Liyang Hou and said, "How about you tell me about the King of Jing'an tomorrow morning?"
The head of the Liyang Hou was so painful, it was not difficult to mention it. There was a family with a hundred families asking for a marriage, and it was normal to be embarrassed to be in a humiliating position. But the difficult thing is, "King Xian said he should consider it..."
"You asked me to open this again, and you wouldn't bother me if you wanted King Xian to know."
Mr. Liyang, Mr. Shizi hurriedly said, "No matter whether King Jing'an agrees or not, you have to help me win it."
Marquis Liyang was angry when he looked at his son. If it weren't for him, there wouldn't be so many things.
This is not-
I asked someone to drag my son to the ancestral hall and kneel overnight.
To prevent him from standing in front of his eyes, he would not interfere with his thoughts.
