Li Shi looked at Yun Xi as if asking for help, hoping that she could say a few nice words to calm King Zun Yi's anger.

But Yun Xi looked at him innocently, "Master Li, you heard it too. This attitude is not good. How do you think we should pay for the consultation?"

Li Shi's back was wet with sweat, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He said, "I can only take out 50,000 taels at most. Any more is really..."

Yun Rou shook her head.

Li Shi was frightened again and broke out in a cold sweat. "Sixty...sixty thousand..."

Yun Rou still shook her head.

Li Shi gritted his teeth, "Seventy...seventy thousand..."

Yun Rou glanced at Su Xiujie, then turned to look at Li Shi, "Eighty thousand, I'll give you eighty thousand taels, if that doesn't work... you can think of a way yourself..."

The only solution Li Shi could think of was to ask Prime Minister Jiang to put pressure on him, but Prince Zunyi had the support of two queens, and he couldn't do anything against their power.

So he had no choice but to grit his teeth and say, "Okay! Eighty thousand taels!"

Su Xiujie was confused, but he saw Yun Xi smiling and said, "My Lord, please go to the Li family. The consultation fee is 80,000 taels..."

"Eight, eight, eight, eighty thousand taels?" Su Xiujie's eyes almost popped out of his head in shock.

His master only charged a few thousand taels per consultation, and he thought that was the ceiling. He didn't expect that his consultation fee could be so much higher...

It's so much higher...

Li Shi was afraid that he would regret it, so he said with a bitter face: "My Lord! Eighty thousand taels is not a small amount! I will have to sell everything I have!"

It would be better if he didn't mention this. As soon as he mentioned it, Yun Xi suddenly remembered something, "Oh, right! Lord Li, please go back and prepare the banknotes. My prince doesn't like to owe money on credit!"

Well, Li Shi was just thinking about denying it a little when he returned the banknote, but now he can’t deny it anymore.

Su Xiujie went to the Li family happily. After seeing Li Zeng's condition, he frowned tightly.

"Your Highness, can it be cured?" Li Shi asked with a worried look on his face.

Su Xiujie looked regretful, "It can be cured, but the person who poisoned it is too cruel!"

"What do you mean?"

"Oh! Let's detoxify first, and then try to recuperate later." Su Xiujie didn't say it clearly.

After all, losing one's fertility is something that is hard for anyone to accept. He could only try his best to regulate the condition, hoping that maybe Li Zeng could have a child.

In fact, acupuncture is indeed necessary for detoxification, but it does not require so many needles like in Su Bei.

Su Xiujie quickly gave Li Zeng the poisonous blood, and Li Zeng quickly woke up.

It took no more than half an hour.

Eighty thousand taels were obtained.

Although Su Xiujie did not say what the sequelae would be, Li Zeng knew it very well in his heart, because he flirted with a girl today and ended up being poisoned by her.

When she poisoned him, the girl had already warned him fiercely that if he touched the drug, he would have no children or grandchildren.

Li Zeng is the only child in the Li family, and he absolutely cannot let his family line be cut off, so he thought of someone.

Didn't he have sex with Yu Zihe that day? Maybe he left a child. If that happened, he wouldn't have to be childless! So he had never told Li Shi about this, but today Li Zeng told him that he was going to marry a young widow named Yu Zihe.

When Li Zeng heard this, his expression changed drastically, "Yu Zihe? How can she be a young widow? She was originally the wife of Fang Tongpu, a doctor in the Ministry of Revenue, and was divorced! No! Absolutely not!"

This news was like a bolt from the blue to Li Zeng. He had met Fang Tongpu several times. He was a man in his forties.

But he had no choice but to tell Li Shi that he might have no descendants.

When Li Shi heard that he had provoked such a powerful girl, he was almost furious, but after going crazy, he calmed down.

"Then take her as a concubine!"

This is the best solution to this problem, but...

Li Zeng looked embarrassed and told him what happened in the woods that day.

Li Shi was now furious, thinking that if he had known that he would have no children or grandchildren, he would have used the 80,000 taels to buy a few more concubines, and then spread his seeds widely, and maybe he could have a son.

No matter how angry he was, he had to resolve the matter and could not deceive the Queen.

So within a few days, the Li family went to propose marriage.

The betrothal gift was not much, only one box, which was quite shabby.

But Yu Zihe was still very happy. She had inquired about Li Zeng during this period and knew that he was the only son of the Minister of Works, so the amount of the betrothal gift was not a big deal. In the future, wouldn't the empire that Li Shi worked hard for be theirs?

But her aunt would not allow her to be so happy.

The betrothal gift is given by the man to the woman's family. Her aunt is now her elder. On the wedding day, Yu Zihe saw a box added to the dowry and thought it was the betrothal gift. But when she opened it on the wedding night, she found two pieces of cloth inside.

She had seen the box of betrothal gifts and saw that it contained cloth, but more than two pieces.

She was intercepted by her aunt!

Not only that, even her dowry was much less!

Yu Zihe's marriage was not a happy one! Not only did she not see the queen during the daytime wedding, but no one in the Li family treated her well. At night, she found out that the betrothal gifts had been withheld and the dowry had been stolen. How could she be happy? Even more unhappy things were yet to come.

Li Zeng, who was so impatient before, became a modest gentleman after they got married. He became a good sister who slept in the same bed with her, and he didn't even make a move...

Isn't it because she wants Li Zeng to be young? She was almost pissed off.

She was almost angry to death, but Su Bei was quite happy.

The Li family was quite efficient and held the wedding banquet before Xiao Han. They also invited many dignitaries and married her with a wife gift.

This matter became the focus of discussion in the capital.

Some people say that the Li family is immoral, some people say that the Li family is tolerant, some people say that the peasants in Li's hometown do not know etiquette, and some people say that Li Shi is not particular about trivial matters.

It has mixed reviews.

But at least it's a start.

This was the first time that unmarried young men married abandoned women.

Once this precedent was set, when Xiao Han held his wedding half a month later, it seemed like a natural thing to do, and people's discussions began to move in a positive direction.

"I heard that the man was the Miao King, and he married a commoner like this? Or were they married before?"

"You don't know, right? This is the custom in Miaojiang. It doesn't matter whether you're married or not. Whether you're widowed or divorced, or even divorced, you have the right to pursue happiness!"

"Pursue happiness? I think Miss Yu is really pursuing it. Her son will be the prince of Miaojiang in the future, and she will also be able to rise to the top!"

"What's the matter? I'm a sparrow and you're a phoenix? Then fly one for me to see!"

Amidst laughter, Xiao Han and Yu Chunhe's wedding was completed smoothly.

The discussion in the capital also began to change, as if some women who had been waiting for many years had finally seen spring.

Including Concubine Mei - Qin Meizhi.
