Chapter 122 Xie Yao marries the prince, and his concubine becomes his mistress

Boss?!

The Sun family was stunned, and the eldest sister-in-law of the Sun family suddenly stopped crying.

Ever since a few days ago, the number of patients visiting Ji'an Hall has been decreasing day by day due to the troubles caused by Shengjitang, and they have long wanted to get out.

Especially after Ji'antang was closed down, Sun Hongfang's son was afraid of being implicated, so he discussed with Sun's eldest sister-in-law and others and sold the last three medicine shops in the family overnight.

They thought that after selling the pharmacy, as long as the owner didn't care, the shopkeepers and clerks in the shop were all members of the Sun family, so they would still have a livelihood and be able to make a comeback in the future.

But now, the Xu family has become the owner of the drugstore!

The Sun family's son's mouth twitched. "No wonder, no wonder the shopkeeper who came to buy the medicine shop that day didn't tell me the owner's name."

Xu Zhixing smiled gently, took out a five-liang silver ingot from his arms, and threw it in front of the eldest sister-in-law of the Sun family. There was a sound.

"This money is a reward from the boss for buying you a coffin. If it's not enough, I can also send you to reunite with Sun Hongfang in prison. I'm sure you will be very satisfied."

The last three words were spoken with a cold pause.

My uncle has a handsome face and elegant manners. Standing next to Xie Mingan, if it weren't for his arrogant attitude, he would look more like a Minister of Rites from an aristocratic family.

The Sun family members dared to be angry but not to speak, and their faces changed from fear to despair.

The judicial officer called over a few colleagues. As soon as the officers appeared, the eldest sister-in-law of the Sun family turned around and ran away holding the tablet.

The Sun family members who didn't have time to run away were gagged and dragged away on the spot, not even daring to struggle.

The guests then turned their attention to the Xu family.

Grandfather Xu Shian came to Xie Yao.

The words "Little Ayao, you have grown up" almost made her cry.

She hasn't seen her grandfather for many, many years.

"It's my fault. I rushed here from Jiangzhou and was delayed for a day in counting and preparing the dowry. I didn't expect that this group of scoundrels took advantage of the opportunity." said Old Master Xu.

"It has nothing to do with my father. It's all because of me who didn't handle the whole thing properly, causing Ayao to suffer injustice." Xu Zhixing said self-reproachfully.

He pointed to the dowry procession behind him and said, "These are the first batch. There are another eighty-eight loads behind them, for a total of one hundred and eight loads of dowry. Gold, silver, jewelry, land, shops, and rare medicinal herbs have been counted and put into a book. They are all for you."

The guests and the crowd gasped when they heard the sound of "One Hundred and Eight Lifts".

Thousands of words were reduced to one sentence: "Thank you, Grandpa."

Mr. Xu looked at Xie Yao, his tone full of unquestionable arrogance and protection, and he deliberately raised his voice:

"Little A'yao, now that you've arrived at the palace, there's no need to put yourself in a difficult position. If the prince treats you well, you'll naturally live a good life. If he dares to neglect you, or if someone makes you angry, at worst, we can just go home."

"My Xu family has mountains of gold and silver. It's more than enough to support our own children for a lifetime!"

Mr. Xu said this to Xiao Yizi and Xie Yao, as well as to Xu Susu.

Xu Zhixing also said: "Little Ah Yao, remember that your uncle is here for you in everything."

Xie Yao tightened her grip on the round fan, her eyes slightly warm.

After hearing what Mr. Xu said, Xie Mingan immediately looked at Xiao Yizi and the palace guards.

This old man dared to tell Xie Yao that if the prince treated her badly, she would return to the Xu family. This was threatening the palace. Given the violent temper of the King of Jingbei...

However, the palace guards all had solemn and peaceful expressions.

What the Xu family said was indeed a bit beyond the limit.

But none of them is a fool. Those who have daughters at home know that saying this on the wedding day is to show the importance that the girl’s family attaches to her.

What's more, Mr. Xu respected the prince - he did not come in a carriage, but in a sedan chair, and Xu Zhixing, the eldest uncle of the Xu family, did not ride a horse either.

Xiao Yizi looked at them without any displeasure on his face.

The old man is an elder respected by Xie Yao, and also his elder.

They arranged a marriage for Xie Yao and supported her, which was a blessing.

Since he will never neglect his princess in the future, how could he be unhappy?

The prince said, "Grandson-in-law greets grandfather and uncle."

Xu Zhixing breathed a sigh of relief and saluted King Jingbei.

He lowered his voice so that only Xie Yao could hear it and said, "Prince Jingbei should have known about this when your grandfather came to the capital yesterday, but he kept it secret."

Mr. Xu said: "Your Highness, since we are family, there is no need to bow to me. Please don't delay the auspicious time."

"Yes." Xiao Yizi nodded slightly.

He glanced at Lord Du, the Jingzhao Yin, and suddenly asked, "Cousin, are you here alone? Where is my wedding reception officer?"

There was a custom in the State of Yan that when a noble of the rank of Earl or above got married, a person from the Ministry of Rites or a member of the royal family would be sent as a ceremonial officer to welcome the bride together with the groom.

On the day of the betrothal, the Minister of Rites He Yu said that he was one of the ceremonial officials of King Jingbei, but now, He Yu has not appeared yet.

Lord Du, as the prince's cousin, left after the matter was done, trying to avoid suspicion. He didn't expect that he would be discovered even if he hid in the crowd.

When he heard this murderous cousin calling him cousin, he was shocked and hurried out.

Lord Du bowed his hand to the upper right side of his shoulder, his tone extremely respectful: "That person said that if the prince urges it, let this official tell the prince: just do good things and be patient."

Xiao Yizi glanced into the distance with an indifferent expression.

Soon, Xie Yao was helped to the bridal sedan by Xie Yan.

When passing by Xu Zhixing, Xie Yan lowered his voice and greeted his uncle.

The uncle and nephew were not very familiar with each other. After a brief conversation, Xu Zhixing said, "Wait a moment, go find Doctor Huang."

After thanking the banquet for achieving his goal, he looked back at the Bo Mansion with a smile on his thin lips.

Xu Susu suddenly walked up to Xie Yao.

On the happy day, she had a smile on her face and tears in her eyes: "Ayao, my daughter, you must take care of yourself."

Xie Yao restrained her emotions and spoke clearly, "Don't worry, mother. Not only will I be able to live a good life myself, I will also ensure that you live a good life as well."

Xu Susu had been holding back her tears, but after hearing these words, she could no longer control herself and burst into tears.

Xie Yao took one last look at her grandfather who looked very pleased, and got into the bridal sedan. For a moment, she recalled her past life.

At that time, she covered her face with a fan. There were no guests to bless her. She didn't know that the Xu family had arrived. She didn't see her mother's expression. She was only worried about the future.

In this life, everything is completely opposite.

She had just sat down when she heard Old Master Xu shouting outside with great energy: "Beat the gongs and drums to get the Xu family's daughter married!"

The bridal sedan was lifted up, and Prince Jingbei, wearing a bright red wedding gown, rode his horse to guard it. One hundred and eight loads of dowry followed in a mighty procession, and the thirty-two loads of dowry prepared by Xu Susu also followed closely behind.

In addition, the eighty loads of betrothal gifts previously sent by the Prince of Jingbei's Mansion were all returned.

The sound of music and the bells of the sedan chair rang out one after another. The crowd looked at the seemingly endless dowry procession. Some of the older or more experienced people recalled the marriage between the Xu family and Xie Mingan seventeen years ago.

"How much will the second young lady of the Xie family's dowry be? The entire Tangliu Alley is blocked by it. I'm afraid even the prince's wedding wouldn't be much more than this!"

"Let alone Tangliu Lane, the two hundred dowries and the shops are even more than ten Wenchang Marquis' mansions combined."

"You are young and don't know that the Xu family is the most powerful merchant family in Jiangzhou, and they are as wealthy as a nation. When the eldest daughter of the Xu family married into our family, it was a grand wedding. The ceremony today is even more grand than before!"

"Miss Xie is marrying the prince. I wonder whose family Xie Zhi, the concubine of the Xie family, will marry into?"

At this moment, Nanny Zhu came to Xie Mingan and whispered, "Master, people from the Anping Marquis's Mansion are here. Miss Zhi, I'm afraid they're going to make a scene."

Many guests were only concerned with looking at Xie Yao's dowry team, and no one noticed that two servants dressed as servants from the Anping Marquis's Mansion were hiding at the side door of the mansion.

Xie Mingan stood in front of the crowd, still smiling, without even turning his head. "Tell Sun Xinlan to keep her daughter under control. If Xie Zhi dares to make a scene, gag her, tie her up, and stuff her into the sedan chair."

Nanny Zhu agreed and continued, "The Anping Marquis's Mansion is indeed not decent. After all, Miss Zhi is the eldest daughter of the Lord. Even if she can't be a concubine, she should be a concubine. How can she...be a mistress?"

Yes, just the day before yesterday, the Marquis of Anping and the Earl of Wenchang finally reached an agreement.

Xie Zhi doesn't want to be the concubine of Marquis Anping, she only wants to be a mistress kept outside!

Xie Mingan sneered, his voice was extremely cold-blooded.

"She did something so disgraceful that it brought disgrace upon the family. It was extremely difficult for the Marquis of Anping to give me two mansions with five entrances and five exits."

"Besides, the young marquis is young and promising, and he is a member of the royal family. She can be his concubine, what's wrong with that?"
