Chapter 608: Changle Hou Mansion Offers Proposal

Zhuzhi snorted lightly and said angrily, "What else can I say? It's nothing but the same old clichés. I don't know how to say anything new."

She said with a look of disdain, "Every woman selling pancakes on the street knows that if you want to do a prosperous business, you have to change up your tactics from time to time to attract customers."

Speaking of this, her eyes lit up, and she moved closer to Song Yanxi and said, "Miss, I heard that Shu Manor has been busy with renovations these past few days, and they have hired many craftsmen to rush the work.

I don't know where Princess Shihan got so much cash. Such a large sum of money is truly unprecedented in the capital."

In the past, Song Yanxi didn't take care of the accounts and gave all of them to Zhu Yu. When she needed money, she would directly withdraw it from the account. Therefore, she didn't clearly realize how much money it would cost to renovate the restaurant.

But when she had the chance to do it again, she realized that what was more important than power was gold and silver.

Since ancient times, money has moved people's hearts.

Her current position as a princess was earned with real money.

Although it was not her gold or silver, it could not be denied that it was useful and saved her a lot of effort.

Without this identity, it would be extremely difficult to go into battle as a military doctor.

So after returning from the border town, she would spend her free time with Zhuzhi and Zhuyu learning how to check and do accounts.

Shuzhuang was smashed because workers could not be paid. Where did Zhuang Shihan get so much cash for suddenly spending so much money?

Duke Jingguo was extremely disappointed with her. A few days ago, she went to the Duke's Mansion for the second time to check the old Duke's pulse and was surprised to find that the depression in his heart had disappeared.

Upon asking, I found out that the old Duke had completely given up the idea of ​​changing Zhuang Shihan and adopted a child from his side branch.

The child is still young and needs someone to take care of him.

The old Duke joked, "I'm so old now and I have a son. I have to live a few more years to see him grow up, get married and have children.

This will also prevent someone from bullying me the moment I close my eyes."

It could be heard that there was still some anger in his words, but Song Yanxi could easily tell from his pulse that the old master had indeed come to terms with it.

This also means that he has truly let go of his daughter Zhuang Shihan.

Given the old Duke's temper, now that he has made clear his connection, he will no longer care about his daughter's life or death.

From now on, the Jingguo Mansion will no longer provide her with any help.

One could even hear the old Duke say that he just wanted Zhuang Shihan and Lin Tingfeng's wedding date to come soon so that he could get rid of them and out of their sight and worry.

Even if he had money, he couldn't use it to help her.

Other people in Beijing who were close to Zhuang Shihan were either unmarried young ladies with little money, or playboys who relied on the protection of their fathers and brothers.

Not to mention borrowing money, they would probably stay away from her if they heard her name these days.

Where did this money come from?

The master and servant exchanged a glance, and Zhuzhi asked tentatively, "Miss, how about I go out and ask around?"

Song Yanxi shook her head and refused.

As soon as His Majesty issued the imperial decree granting the marriage, the Princess's Mansion became a hot commodity for the ladies and noble ladies in the capital. Countless people were watching her every move, both openly and covertly.

If someone were to inquire about it now, wouldn't that tell everyone that she just wanted to watch the fun?

Given Zhuang Shihan's personality, if she knew, she would never let it go.

Before Military Doctor Liu collected evidence that she and Lin Tingfeng were greedy for merit and reckless, causing the deaths of a group of soldiers, she was too lazy to waste time slapping and kicking her.

If you make too much noise, it will leave Emperor Xuande with the impression that you don't know etiquette, which will not be worth it.

Zhuzhi thought about it and felt that it made sense. He raised his chin slightly and said, "Who the hell is she? She doesn't deserve to be remembered by our girl."

Song Yanxi was helpless and reminded: "You girl, be careful of your words."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhu Yu came in from outside and said with a smile: "Don't worry, young lady. Sister Zhu Zhi doesn't talk so much outside. She would rather be mute."

Listening to her teasing words, Zhuzhi was not annoyed, and said as a matter of course: "The teacher taught us the principle of talking too much and making mistakes. I don't want to embarrass the teacher."

Zhu Yu: "Yes, yes, sister is right. I will listen to you."

Zhuzhi was amused by her sarcasm and hurried to tickle the itchy flesh under her armpits, saying as he tickled her, "You naughty girl, you are getting better and better at making fun of me now.

Do you think that since the girl has returned and someone is backing you up, I won't dare to teach you a lesson?"

Zhu Yu smiled and begged for mercy: "Good sister, please forgive me, I won't dare to do it again."

"I've heard you say that many times before, and I don't believe it anymore."

As Zhuzhi spoke, he increased the strength of his hands.

Zhu Yu was afraid of bumping into things in the house, so she didn't dare to hide. She could only laugh and beg for mercy: "Sister, sister, I know I was wrong. If I laugh again, I'll get a stitch in the side."

Seeing that Zhuzhi still refused to stop, she hurriedly said, "I have something important to tell you, young lady."

Zhuzhi stopped moving and snorted coldly, "If it's not something important, just wait."

Zhu Yu laughed so hard that tears came out. She wiped her tears and said, "It's important. How can it not be important?"

She looked at Song Yanxi and said, "Miss, the wife of the Marquis of Changle has brought the Marquis of Changle's son to the Marquis's mansion to propose marriage."

Song Yanxi: "Proposal?"

Sun Mingkun looked down on Song Baozhu that day and threatened that he would rather strangle her to death than have anything to do with her.

It's only been half a month, and you've changed your mind about marrying her?

She felt even more strange when she thought of the wife of Marquis Changle and her legitimate daughter Sun Qianqian, whom she had met briefly that day.

Sun Qianqian's wedding is imminent, but she is criticized because of the scandal caused by Song Baozhu in the Princess's Mansion. It is even heard that her husband's family has considered canceling the engagement.

They, mother and daughter, should hate Song Baozhu.

Zhu Yu said, "I heard that there were a total of 28 loads of betrothal gifts, and many people on the street ran to watch the excitement."

Zhuzhi sighed upon hearing this, "I wonder what the wife of the Marquis of Changle was thinking. Marrying the Crown Prince with such an overbearing and unreasonable Crown Princess will surely make things difficult for him in the future."

She had heard what Miss An San said. Song Baozhu refused to listen to advice and insisted on seeking death. She also took the initiative to seduce the prince of Changle.

After being caught in adultery, they turned around and bit the girls.

It's so shameless!

"Who said it was the Crown Prince's Consort?"

Zhu Yu glanced at Song Yanxi before continuing, "The wife of Marquis Changle came to visit us to take a concubine for her son."

"Concubine?" Zhuzhi murmured softly, "Although Song Baozhu is a little unbearable, she is still your concubine's sister in name.

It's just a matter of taking a concubine. We can find a suitable day and carry her over in a sedan chair. Why would we need to make a big fuss about it?"

The further she spoke, the softer her voice became.

Thinking of Song Huai'en's expression, Song Yanxi couldn't help but frown, "What about Yongchuan Hou? Did he just agree to it?"
