Seeing Xu Wanyan lowering her head and not saying a word, everyone thought she was scared and almost went crazy with joy.

Xu Wanyan lowered her head. They thought she was afraid, but they didn't expect that the looks they gave each other were all seen by her.

After a long while, Yang Jiaoxue finally spoke: "Sister Wanyan, what's wrong with you?"

Xu Wanyan slowly raised her head, her face a little pale.

Everyone was immediately overjoyed. As expected, this idiot believed it.

"Wanyan, are you scared? Let me tell you, everything we said is true. We really didn't lie to you."

"Yes, considering that you and Wanqing are sisters, we really can't bear to watch you jump into the fire pit."

"Then, what should I do?"

Seeing Xu Wanyan's face full of fear, everyone almost laughed crazy.

However, their faces were still full of sympathy and concern.

"Ah, seeing you so scared, we are heartbroken. Even if that person has even a little humanity, we will not tell you."

Xu Wanyan's face became paler and paler, and she was about to faint from fright.

Yang Jiaoxue immediately held her hand and said sincerely:

"Sister Wanyan, please run away from your marriage!"

"Escape, escape from marriage?"

Xu Wanyan looked confused.

"Yes, run away from the marriage, run away far away, I believe you won't have to marry Prince Chen."

"But, but I don't dare. If my father knew, he would definitely beat me to death."

Yang Jiaoxue's expression changed. She glanced at everyone and said, "How could that be? As long as you don't say anything and I don't say anything, how could your father possibly know? Besides, do you really want to be beaten to death by Prince Chen?"

Xu Wanyan quickly shook her head, "No, no, no, I don't want to."

"That's fine, as long as you want to leave, we will help you."

"Really?"

Xu Wanyan acted as if she was treating them as her lifeline.

"Of course, otherwise why would we come today? Look at Yun Rou, she has come to help you without any grudges, don't you believe it?"

Hearing this, Xu Wanyan nodded enthusiastically, "I believe you, but..."

Yang Jiaoxue showed impatience on her face, "What are you still worried about?"

Xu Wanyan lowered her head and whispered, "My sisters know that my life in the Xu family is not easy. If I were to run away from the marriage, I, I..."

Xu Wanyan didn't say the rest of the words, but the others already understood what she was going to say.

Contempt appeared on everyone's faces, but it quickly disappeared.

"Sister Wanyan, are you worried about the money?"

Xu Wanyan's face was filled with embarrassment, and she nodded, "I, I'm worried that after I leave, I won't have enough money to live on."

Everyone sneered in their hearts, but their faces showed concern.

They completely believed what Xu Wanyan said.

After all, Xu Wanqing's words and deeds in the past were full of contempt for her sister. In addition, Xu Wanyan used to live in a side courtyard, so how could she have money?

"Sister Wanyan, I heard that Prince Chen's betrothal gifts are quite a lot."

Xu Wanyan shook her head. "Those are just farms and shops, and they can't be used to make a living. Besides, how could I dare to exchange the things in Prince Chen's mansion for silver? You just said that he is a very cruel person. If I sell the betrothal gifts, he will kill me even more."

When everyone heard this, they realized that this was indeed the case.

Yang Jiaoxue looked at everyone, and everyone looked at her.

The dissatisfaction in everyone's eyes was visible.

"Sister Yang, Sister Chen, what do you think I should do?"

Then, she burst into tears. "I am the unfavored daughter of the Xu family. My father usually doesn't give me money. It is even more impossible for me to tell him that I want to run away from marriage, otherwise he will beat me to death. But, but I am away from home, I have no money, and I can't read many words. I..."

Everyone looked at each other, and finally Yang Jiaoxue made the decision, "In that case, we sisters will give you some money, so that we will not be in vain."

Xu Wanyan couldn't believe it. "Really? You're going to give me money?"

Yang Jiaoxue nodded heavily.

Even though the others were reluctant, they could only nod under Yang Jiaoxue's sharp gaze.

"If you sisters are willing to help me, I am willing."

Now, everyone was happy.

What does it matter if they give some money now?

From then on, the Xu family ceased to exist.

Thinking of this, those noble ladies who usually disliked Xu Wanqing felt much better.

"Don't worry, we wouldn't be here if we didn't want to help you."

Xu Wanyan was moved. "You are so kind. You are just like my own sisters."

"By the way, how much silver are you going to give me?"

A trace of disgust flashed in Yang Jiaoxue's eyes. "Fifty taels of silver per person should be enough, right? Normally, five taels of silver is enough for an average family to live on for a month."

Xu Wanyan shook her head aggrievedly, "It's not enough. I still need to buy clothes and travel. Maybe I need more..."

"One hundred taels per person, that should be enough."

Yang Jiaoxue was already angry, but thinking of her purpose, she could only endure it.

Xu Wanyan still shook her head.

"How much do you want?"

Xu Wanyan tremblingly stretched out five fingers.

"What? You want five hundred taels?"

Not only Yang Jiaoxue was unhappy, but everyone else was unhappy too.

Xu Wanyan still shook her head, "No, it's five thousand taels."

Now, everyone stood up.

"Xu Wanyan, we've been kind to you, haven't we? We're helping you out of kindness, and you're treating us like this?"

"Yes, we were afraid that you would die, so we told you this with good intentions, but you actually..."

At this moment, in their eyes, Xu Wanyan was the bad guy who was ignorant and asked for extortionate money.

Xu Wanyan's eyes were full of grievance. "I know this is for my own good."

"Since you know this, why are you still asking us for so much money? Aren't you playing tricks on us?"

Xu Wanyan shook her head, "No, think about it, if I run away from the marriage, a man like Prince Chen will lose face and will definitely not let me go. At that time, he will definitely bribe assassins to hunt me down with all his strength. Don't I need money to buy some protection for me?"

"Also, I might never be able to return to the capital by then, so shouldn't I prepare in advance? You sisters come from prominent families, and I imagine each piece of clothing you wear is worth more than five thousand taels. We are like sisters, so what does this mean?"

Everyone blushed at what she said.

Finally, Yang Jiaoxue made the final decision, "I'll give you one thousand taels each, no more. If you don't want it, then wait to be beaten to death by King Chen."

Although the others were reluctant, they had to endure it for Yang Jiaoxue's sake.

Xu Wanyan scratched her fingers for a long time before nodding and saying reluctantly, "Well, that's it. Sisters, when will you send the silver to me so I can hurry on my way?"

"tonight!"

After saying that, Yang Jiaoxue and those noble ladies left angrily.
