The Wenchang Marquis's Mansion has been in deficit for many years and its economy has been unable to make ends meet. The men in the family can still receive education and training in the hope of better development in the future, but the girls in the mansion live like grass.

They don't even get to see a piece of meat for half a month. Their living conditions are so harsh that they are even worse than those of ordinary families.

In such an environment where everyone has to work hard for everything, everyone gradually develops a cold and selfish character.

Yun Yuan had his reasons for not helping. Yun Shiwu was uneducated and couldn't even pass the exam to become a scholar, and the lowest threshold for admission to the Imperial College was a scholar. As for Yun Jing, he was living well in another place and was eager to stay away from the Bo's Mansion.

Wenchang Bo said angrily, "Say something like that. Wasn't your beauty given by me?"

Yun Yuan laughed out of anger. That was really not the case. The original owner's appearance was only acceptable. This was the result of her appearance modification.

But Wenchangbo seemed to have found an advantage and said confidently, "Your body and hair are inherited from your parents. The appearance I gave you is your greatest wealth in this life!"

"Just because of your small eyes and flat nose?" Yun Yuan didn't want to indulge him. "If it weren't for your poor appearance holding my mother back, with my mother's You family genes, I would be much better looking. If you don't believe me, just look at the whole Bo Mansion. Except for me, everyone is ugly."

It was because of her beauty that Aunt You was favored by the Earl of Wenchang. The merchant family did not dare to resist and could only offer Aunt You to him. Aunt You died of depression after only a few years in the Earl's mansion.

Yang Chun Bai Xue hid her face behind her sleeves and laughed secretly. Wen Chang Bo was so angry that his body trembled: "You evil girl, how dare you say such outrageous words? You are unfilial!"

Yun Yuan said disdainfully: "You can only use filial piety to pressure me."

Wenchang Bo's face was gloomy: "Whether you admit it or not, you are the daughter of my Wenchang Bo's Mansion. It is your responsibility to help your brothers."

Yun Yuan felt the need to remind him, "You dare to threaten me while the people sent by the First Prince are still here? Aren't you afraid that I will tell His Royal Highness the First Prince what you said?"

Wenchangbo was shocked. How could he forget that Yangchun Baixue was the eldest prince's man?

He said awkwardly, "Father was just joking with you."

"Really?" Yun Yuan said, "If you come and say these disgusting things to me again, I will ask the eldest prince to make you spit out everything my mother brought into the mansion."

Aunt You was the daughter of a wealthy businessman. She brought a lot of things into the mansion, but they were all embezzled by Earl Wenchang in the end, leaving only a small amount of silver for the original owner to live on.

"If you really count it up, the entire Earl's Mansion is not enough to pay for the compensation." Yun Yuan smiled.

Wenchangbo's cheeks trembled a few times, and he didn't dare to say anything else under Yangchun Baixue's silent threat: "Father, I will leave now, I will leave now."

As he walked out of the yard, he couldn't hold back his anger and kicked the flowerpot.

“Ah~”

Yun Yuan: “…”

After that, many people came to look for Yun Yuan, but Yun Yuan ignored them all, including Yun Shijiu who came to apologize.

Tao discussed the dowry with Yun Yuan.

The dowry for a daughter marrying off in the capital city was sixty-four loads. Although Yun Yuan was a concubine's daughter, she was married into the royal family, so Mrs. Tao wanted to prepare a dowry of eighty-eight loads for her.

"But you also know that with the current situation of the Bo Mansion, it would be difficult to carry the loads of goods sixty-four, let alone eighty-eight." Tao sighed.

Yun Yuan frowned. Wenchang Bo had never been involved in other people's affairs, and all the marriages were arranged by Tao. But even a good cook cannot cook without rice. The Bo's Mansion had already organized more than a dozen weddings of various sizes, and there was not much money left.

Girls need dowries, and boys need betrothal gifts. According to the previous custom of the Wenchang Marquis's Mansion, the dowry of a concubine's daughter is thirty-two loads. The later the marriage, the simpler the betrothal gifts. Yun Shijiu is also getting married soon, and the dowry is also indispensable.

Yang Chun said, "Don't worry, young lady. His Royal Highness the First Prince said that he will prepare the missing dowry and will definitely not let you suffer any injustice."

Tao was stunned for a moment: "That's fine."

………………………………

The news that Yun Yuan was named a princess spread like wildfire in the capital, and what was even more talked about was that the eldest prince took the initiative to ask the emperor for a marriage.

There were rumors that she was a fairy who had descended to earth, which made the eldest prince, who was always averse to women, break his vow. Many people, intentionally or unintentionally, passed by the door of the Wenchang Earl's Mansion, trying to see Yun Yuan's true face.

Yun Shu also heard the news in the Second Prince's Mansion, and avoided the nanny to discuss it in a low voice with Wen Renji.

"How is it possible? How can she still become the imperial concubine?"

Wen Renji also had mixed feelings: "Maybe it's fate, she is destined to be the imperial concubine." After experiencing rebirth, he, who originally did not believe in ghosts and gods or fate, was confused.

Yun Shu, however, did not believe in fate. "Yun Yuan gave birth to three children in her previous life. Can she give birth to another child in this life as well?"

What was originally a sarcastic remark took on a different meaning in Wenren Ji's ears.

"Regardless of whether she can give birth or not, the eldest prince must leave our house." Wen Renji said firmly, "I have sent people to Yanzhou to look for the elixir. Once we find it, we will take it and let Yu'er be born in your belly a few years earlier than in his previous life."

Yun Shu was surprised, then burst into tears: "I thought you would dislike me after so many things happened in this life."

Wen Renji looked at her swollen eyes, and another stunningly beautiful face suddenly came to his mind, and he felt bored.

"Don't think too much. You are destined to have children. Yu'er can only be born in your belly."

Yun Shu nodded for a while: "I will definitely make good preparations in this life to welcome Yu'er's arrival."

………………

On August 15th, Wenren Yan took Yun Yuan to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. Wenren Ji did not have a wife, so he took Yun Shu with him.

The harem entourage had arrived in Shengjing under the protection of the imperial guards the day before. Wenren Yan needed to go to the harem to pay a visit to the queen first, and then go to the palace banquet.
