"Sister, the queen mother chose for me is already over fifty! Her children are all older than me! She's also abusive; she beat her previous husbands to death!"

Ye Ziming was filled with grief and indignation. He couldn't understand why he had to marry that cruel female ruler. He was also his mother's biological child.

"Mother said that if you don't get married, we won't be able to raise 300,000 taels. I really have no other choice. I'm useless. I can't help you." Ye Zirui couldn't help but tear up.

If she could escape with her younger brother, she would have done so long ago, but the government is cracking down very hard now, so there's no way she can escape.

"Huh? You can marry this young man with 200,000 taels? Then Yueyue, why don't you use 200,000 taels to marry him? He's really so pitiful."

Su Zheyu and Song Yifan had somehow gotten here to eavesdrop. Fang Xiyue had just come over when she heard Su Zheyu turn around and say something to her.

Ye Ziming and Ye Zirui also turned around. Ye Ziming felt a little embarrassed when he saw Fang Xiyue. He didn't want people he knew to discover his vulnerability.

Su Zheyu and Song Yifan didn't know when it started, but they began calling her Yueyue. She asked them to change it, but they wouldn't listen, so she simply let them call her that, just for fun.

"You two, even if I'm willing to offer the money, this young man might not be willing to marry me. You can't make things difficult for him, you know?"

Fang Xiyue rubbed their heads, amazed that they had actually come here to eavesdrop.

"If you are willing to marry me, I am willing to marry you, my lady."

Ye Zimo looked at Fang Xiyue and said firmly, "Rather than marrying that fifty-something-year-old female ruler, I would rather marry this female ruler I have only met once."

She's so good to her two husbands, so she won't be bad to herself either. Even if things don't go well for her in the future, he won't regret it.

"In that case, I will go to your residence today to propose marriage."

Fang Xiyue didn't know whether she felt more sympathy or affection for Ye Ziming; their only interaction was during the time they sold ginseng.

She knew Ye Ziming was a good man, and she was willing to help him. As for feelings, she could cultivate them later.

"Zi Mo is waiting at home for Your Majesty to arrive." Ye Zi Mo bowed to Fang Xi Yue, then gave her his home address before leaving with Ye Zi Rui.

"You really believe she can come up with 200,000 taels of silver? The clothes she's wearing aren't even as good as ours." Ye Zirui was worried that her younger brother had been scammed.

“I believe you. She’s not dressed well, but her two husbands are dressed very well. The bags they’re carrying are worth 100,000 taels each, which is something you can’t buy even with money.”

Ye Ziming knew this because she had also attended the banquet today; he had gone with his mother.

His mother also met the lady who was willing to give her a dowry of 200,000 at that banquet.

He didn't know that Fang Xiyue was the mastermind behind the scenes, but he figured she should be able to come up with 200,000 taels. If he had made the wrong bet, he would commit suicide.

"Yueyue, you're going to present the betrothal gifts tomorrow. Doesn't that mean you'll marry him even earlier than us? I'm not happy about it."

Su Zheyu regretted it; he had acted too impulsively just now, and Song Yifan's expression was also not good.

"Don't worry, let's get engaged first, and then have a group wedding when you're old enough, okay?"

Fang Xiyue didn't want to see them sad, so she came up with this idea.

The next day, she came to propose marriage. Ye Ziming's mother and father initially wanted to kick her out, but when they saw the 200,000 taels of silver she took out, their expressions changed instantly, and they became extremely affectionate.

They simply packed Ye Zimo up and handed him to her, and even got the marriage certificate done in no time. They also said that they couldn't attend the wedding because of other commitments, so they didn't need to send out invitations.

Ye Zimo followed Fang Xiyue out of the Ye residence with a blank expression, and only burst into tears after getting into the carriage.

The woman who had been chosen earlier arrived late for the marriage proposal and was disappointed to find no one there. Enraged, she smashed up the reception room of the Ye residence.

Fang Xiyue's carriage went to the government office first. When Ye Zimo got off, his eyes were red. Fang Xiyue carried him down and led him into the government office.

Su Zheyu and Song Yifan, seeing Ye Zimo's red eyes, were no longer jealous. They each pulled Ye Zimo to their room, where they showed her their large plush toys and the mirrors.

Standing at the door, Fang Xiyue quickly asked the system to buy her a large sika deer, along with a bracelet and a ring. After taking them out from the corner, she went to Su Zheyu's room and knocked on the door.

Su Zheyu came to open the door and saw what Fang Xiyue was holding, so he knew that it was for Ye Ziming.

"MoMo, come quick, Yueyue brought you a gift." Su Zheyu called to Ye Zimo.

Ye Zimo was led out by Song Yifan, and then Fang Xiyue's sika deer filled his arms.

He really liked this sika deer, especially its eyes; he loved them very much.

"My lady, thank you." The marriage certificate between the two has been finalized, so Ye Zimo can now call Fang Xiyue my lady.

Upon hearing this title, Su Zheyu and Song Yifan exchanged a glance and simultaneously began calling Fang Xiyue "wife".

"You can call them that in private, but you're not allowed to do it in public." Fang Xiyue knew she couldn't stop them, so she could only tell them to be careful when there were other people around.

"We know, we know, our wife is the best." Su Zheyu and Song Yifan hugged Fang Xiyue on either side.

Afterwards, Fang Xiyue went to talk to Su Yuerong about the next plan, leaving the three young men to play the Ludo game she had prepared for them in the room.

After Fang Xiyue met Su Yuerong, the two began to discuss what to do next.

“These things are so profitable because they are rare. If we sell them on a large scale, the price will definitely depreciate. So it’s better to hold two such auctions a year.”

Su Yuerong felt that if there were too many items, they would become worthless, and she might not earn as much as from a single auction even after selling them for a year.

"That's what I thought too, but I also need to make a living. I was thinking of opening a skincare store to sell these things."

Fang Xiyue took out the skincare product set that Yuanbao had prepared for her. Once the set was taken out, it would automatically change to the packaging of this era. It was a wooden box, and the skincare products inside were all in glass bottles, which looked very elegant.

It includes facial cleanser, toner, lotion, lip balm, and face mask. These cost one hundred taels of silver per set. They are all consumables, and young men will definitely be very willing to buy them.

Moreover, Yuanbao guarantees that these products will never damage your skin, are suitable for all skin types, and will not cause any subsequent problems.

"Xiyue, give me two more sets, I'll give them to my father and my husband." Su Yuerong saw that these were good things and quickly took out one hundred taels and handed them to Fang Xiyue.

"Sister Rong, you don't need to pay anything. Just remember to ask your husband to help promote it."

I'll give one set to Yu'er, Fan'er, and Mo'er each in a little while, and I'll save five hundred sets like this for you.

"Help me find a shop to sell them. You don't need to invest any money. I'll give you five taels of silver for each set sold. I'm going back to town tomorrow, so I won't be coming to say goodbye."

She's been gone for several days now; if she doesn't go back soon, her family will worry.
