Chapter 67: Sowing discord
Mrs. Fang suddenly became anxious.
She grabbed the concubine's sleeve and said, "Little sister, you can't just ignore us."
"But I am your sister-in-law."
"If your eldest brother hadn't protected you at all times, and if the Fang family hadn't gone to great lengths to get you into the palace, how could you and Ye'er have such a happy life today?"
"You can't just ignore us. If you do, I'll crash into the ground and die at the gate of Prince Ling's mansion..."
The concubine was so tired after hearing these words that she became numb.
Every time her sister-in-law asked her for something, she would use this trick.
Every time she would cry, make a fuss, and even threaten to hang herself, and she would not give up until she achieved her goal.
The concubine closed her eyes and said: "If sister-in-law is willing to die, then go ahead."
"I will have the guards clear a path for my sister-in-law, and I will make sure she dies completely."
Mrs. Fang's threat was choked back.
"You, you actually forced me to die?"
The concubine was exhausted: "It was my sister-in-law who wanted to die, not me who forced her."
"I am only following my sister-in-law's wishes."
Mrs. Fang's eyes were red: "Okay, okay."
"You're trying to force me to die, aren't you?"
"Fang Yingwan, your fox tail has finally been exposed. You have looked down on the Fang family for a long time, right?"
"You are great, you are rich, you have a high status, so you look down on your mother's family."
"Mom and Dad are right. You are ungrateful and an ungrateful person who can never be tamed."
The Toffee was shaking with anger.
Is she an ungrateful person who can never be tamed?
What qualifications does the Fang family have to call her an ungrateful person?
Back then, in order to gain wealth and glory, the Fang family sent her, despite her outstanding appearance, to the cannibalistic harem.
She has no background and no power, and is bullied everywhere.
Fortunately, she was lucky and by chance she gained the favor of the late emperor and was made a special exception to be named a noble concubine.
After she was made a concubine, her parents came to her house and accused her of being ungrateful and only caring about her own wealth and not caring about her brothers and sisters at home.
At that time, she was targeted by the Queen everywhere and was walking on thin ice. How could she dare to do anything unnecessary?
The Fang family refused to listen to her explanation and asked for money and rewards in both open and covert ways.
Except for those imperial gifts that could not be bought or sold, all her things were taken away by the Fang family under various pretexts.
When Ye'er moved into Prince Ling's Mansion alone, there was less than 100 taels of silver on the account, and the entire mansion almost starved to death.
Later, Ye'er, a good prince, had to borrow money to do business in order to support the livelihood of the palace.
The money earned from business was also taken away by the Fang family.
The Fang family extorted her money countless times and asked her to come forward to rectify the mistakes made by the Fang family countless times.
She contributed money and manpower to the Fang family, worked hard, and almost gave her life to them.
Even so, the Fang family still said she was an ungrateful person.
"Okay, I'm an ungrateful person." The concubine was extremely disappointed.
"Since you think this of me, then we should stop associating with each other."
After saying this, the Toffee walked out with a cold face.
Fang Yilin was furious: "Mom, what are you doing?"
"You're saying this now, aren't you trying to cause trouble?"
Mrs. Fang was also very angry: "She is obviously an ungrateful person."
"Such a simple matter must be made so complicated. Isn't Yu Lingye awake? Whether we go to the Six Punishments Department or not is up to him. What's the point of forcing us to pay?"
"She is Yu Lingye's biological mother. If she is willing to use her filial piety to put pressure on Yu Lingye, would Yu Lingye still dare to treat us like this?"
"It's clearly their fault, and we didn't do anything wrong."
"She did something wrong, I said a few words to her, and she got angry. Why is she angry?"
"Mother, please stop talking." Fang Yilin said, "Can't you see? It's my cousin who's angry, and Aunt Dowager can't make the decision for him."
"My cousin is determined to teach us a lesson. It seems we have no choice but to pay the money."
"We have to scrape together some money."
Mrs. Fang was heartbroken and sobbed: "Lin'er, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are until you manage the household."
"Seventy thousand taels! Do you know what seventy thousand taels means?"
Fang Yilin was annoyed by Mrs. Fang's shallow knowledge: "Is seventy thousand taels more important than both of our lives?"
"What will the Fang family think if we enter the Six Punishments Department?"
"Do you think Grandmother will let you continue to be the Madam of the Fang Family? Do you think Dad will let it go?"
Mrs. Fang shuddered with fright.
She thought of the mistress who was eyeing her covetously and the concubine who was so resourceful.
If you lose your money, you can save it again.
If she were rejected and divorced by the Fang family, she would have no choice but to die.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Fang's mind immediately became clear.
Seeing Yu Lingye walking further and further away, she hurriedly called out, "Ye'er, come back."
"We agree."
"Let's write a document."
"Sixty thousand taels, we won't lose a penny."
Mrs. Fang was afraid that Xie Yingmian would go back on his word, so she found a pen and paper, wrote three copies of the agreement, and pressed her fingerprints on them.
Xie Yingmian chuckled: "Did you know that the sucker would agree?"
Yu Lingye said "hmm" lazily.
It's just sowing discord, simple as that.
Xie Yingmian pushed Yu Lingye back to the room.
Yu Lingye took a look at the receipt and added a clause that required payment within three days, otherwise the amount would double every day.
Mrs. Fang was so distressed that she only stopped herself from saying anything unpleasant because Fang Yilin pulled her hard.
After signing and sealing, the three copies of the document were kept by the Concubine Dowager, Yu Lingye, and Xie Yingmian respectively.
"Tianjia." Yu Lingye called out a name.
A man in black wearing a golden mask appeared in the room out of nowhere.
Tianjia bowed to Xie Yingmian and said, "Princess, I'm sorry."
Xie Yingmian felt that Tianjia's aura was somewhat familiar.
She didn't think much about it.
This person is obviously Yu Lingye's secret guard.
The secret guards have been hiding around Yu Lingye all year round, so it is normal for her to feel familiar with them.
Yu Lingye has already communicated with Tianjia.
Tianjia pretended to perform and Xie Yingmian cooperated with the performance.
A long time passed.
Tianjia was "sweating profusely".
Xie Yingmian fainted from the pain.
Yu Lingye held the "fainted" Xie Yingmian in his arms and covered her with the fox cloak.
This scene fell into Fang Yilin's eyes.
Fang Yilin gritted his teeth.
My cousin actually gave the fox cloak, which was obviously worth a lot of money, to Xie Yingmian.
How can a peasant from the village be worthy of using such a good thing!
The fox cloak should be hers!
Fang Yilin didn't dare to say anything. He poked his sleeves hard with his fingers, wishing he could poke ten holes in them.
The Concubine Dowager and Madam Fang asked Tianjia in unison, "How is it?"
Tianjia said truthfully: "The technique used to injure the princess is not Diao Yu's unique technique."
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be Feixue Tower's unique skill, Feiyingxue."
Fu Mo asked doubtfully, "Feixue Tower is a well-known and upright sect, and the owner of Feixue Tower is also the backbone of the force that will defeat Jueming Palace."
"How could a disciple of Feixue Tower do such a thing?"
Fang Yilin hurriedly explained, "The female warrior from Feixue Tower encountered a little trouble when she first came to the capital."
"I helped her solve this little problem, and the heroine promised to do something for me."
"At first, the heroine was reluctant, but she was a man of her word and never broke her promise. In the end, she reluctantly agreed, but she repeatedly emphasized to me that she would not harm my cousin's life."
Fu Mo nodded.
This character is consistent with what he knows about the disciples of Feixue Tower.
