Xiao Yu's main characteristic is that he is fearless and confident.
He's in the right, so what's he afraid of?
Moreover, it's not like Empress Wu Xuanhuang herself doesn't know her.
When he wrote a poem for the Empress again, Xiao Yu pretended not to know her identity, addressed her as Miss Zhen, and secretly said some bad things about the Chu family to see if Chu Tianjiao would be unlucky.
"That's a good idea."
Zhao Haining clapped his hands and said, "This house is worth at least tens of thousands of taels... Old man Chu, if you can't bear to part with this house, that's fine too. We can give the new house to our Prince!"
"Yes, give your new house to our prince!"
"Isn't your Chu family broke? Even if the new house is built, you won't have the money for decoration..."
"They have money to buy land and build houses, but no money to decorate them. It's hilarious!"
Incited by Zhao Haining, the guards behind him also began to mock the Chu family.
In Chu Tianjiao's boudoir at the Chu family home.
Hearing the maid's report, she slammed her fist on the table in anger, her delicate brows furrowed, and her beautiful face turned deathly pale.
"That wretched Xiao Yu, he really came to cause trouble!" Chu Tianjiao cursed angrily.
She wanted to go out and teach Xiao Yu a lesson, but was stopped by the maid.
"Miss, you are the bride today, you can't show your face in public... it's bad luck. You should wait inside, the master and young master will definitely handle this matter," the maid advised from the side.
Chu Tianjiao continued to berate Xiao Yu, and after a while, he couldn't help but complain, "Brother Can is really something, he wrote an IOU but didn't bring enough money!"
If Bai Can's betrothal gift is 50,000 taels, even if it's embarrassing, it's only a minor embarrassment.
Instead of letting Xiao Yu ride right in front of the Chu family and unleash his attacks!
The maid listened from the side, not daring to express her opinion, but muttered to herself: "Fifteen thousand taels? You think it's fifteen taels?"
But she dared not say it.
...
Outside, Xiao Yu blocked the entrance to the Chu family's house, not giving Bai Can a chance to pick up his bride.
Time passed by, minute by minute.
No matter what Ren Chuqingshan said, Xiao Yu always gave the same reply: he wouldn't leave until the money was returned today, and the Chu family could forget about marrying off their daughter.
The number of onlookers around also increased.
"These people from the Chu family, their skin is thicker than the last one!"
"The Chu family owes the Xiao Prince's Mansion money, and they want to repay it with their son-in-law's dowry. They don't want to contribute a single penny themselves, and they want their son-in-law to bear the debt! They're keeping all their own money to build a new mansion!"
"Anyone who becomes the son-in-law of the Chu family is truly cursed for eighteen lifetimes!"
Hearing the sarcasm and ridicule from those around him, Chu Tianyou roared, "What nonsense are you spouting? Believe me or not, I'll beat you all to death!"
One sentence was enough to frighten everyone into taking two steps back.
"They are my friends. You try touching my friends!"
Xiao Yu stood in front of Chu Tianyou, raising an eyebrow and asking.
Chu Tianyou immediately chickened out.
The next second, even more people started making sarcastic remarks: "Oh, so the shameless Chu family is going to hit people?"
"Go ahead and hit me if you dare, go ahead and hit me if you dare!"
"The young prince is my brother, try hitting me and see what happens."
These onlookers are even more cheeky than netizens... Xiao Yu thought to himself.
"The auspicious time is almost over."
Bai Can's face was extremely ugly. He walked to Chu Qingshan's side, lowered his voice, and said, "Father is already very unhappy that I paid off the Chu family's debts. These betrothal gifts are the limit I can negotiate... If you still expect to rely entirely on the Bai family, I can only take the betrothal gifts back with me."
The implication was that he would not marry Chu Tianjiao.
He won't pay back the money... Although he wrote an IOU, the Chu family is still the one who owes the money, and Xiao Yu hates the Chu family the most. You can decide what to do with it yourselves!
Upon hearing this, Chu Qingshan's already extremely unpleasant expression instantly turned as if he had swallowed a dozen live flies.
"Okay, I'll give you the land deed!"
If Bai Can chooses to annul the engagement, the Chu family will be completely without support. Left with no other choice, Chu Qingshan can only reluctantly agree.
Then, he went back to get the land deed, reluctantly handing it to Xiao Yu, saying, "My Chu family's house can sell for at least 40,000 taels of silver. With these betrothal gifts, is that enough?"
"……hey-hey."
Xiao Yu took the land deed, carefully checked it, and then put it in his pocket, saying, "I just said, not a single tael of silver less! I brought so many brothers with me today. If you don't have money, you can move some things."
"The Chu family has a lot of antiques and calligraphy. Will you take them out yourselves, or should I have my brothers rob them?"
"This is outrageous! This is outrageous!"
Chu Qingshan nearly coughed up blood. He clutched his heart with both hands, shouted twice, and then swayed and almost collapsed.
Chu Tianyou quickly helped his father up, gritting his teeth as he said, "Butler, go get it!!"
A moment later, all sorts of antiques and calligraphy were brought in.
After Uncle Liu nodded, Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Brothers, you guys carry your things back first. I still have a poem to give to Miss Tianjiao!"
"yes!"
Zhao Haining nodded, packed up the betrothal gifts, antiques, and calligraphy, and a group of soldiers carried them back.
They knew Xiao Yu's abilities and weren't afraid that the Chu family would dare to make a move.
"Write a poem?"
"Xiao Yu, what kind of test are you going to take this time?"
"You previously gave Shen Youyu a poem called 'Clouds yearn for her clothes, flowers yearn for her face,' so why are you writing a poem for Chu Tianjiao now?"
"Could it be that he can't forget his old flame?"
"Stop arguing, and listen to Young Master Xiao recite his poem."
The onlookers were in high spirits, never expecting that after watching the excitement, they would also have the opportunity to hear Xiao Yu compose a poem.
