Chapter 155 The Temptation of Money
"You're already married?" Gu Yina looked at Pei Jingchuan with surprise and seriousness.
She hoped to see from Pei Jingchuan's eyes that he was lying, lying to avoid her. She knew that if she gave up the prince of Daxia and chose a minister to marry, it would definitely make the emperor of Daxia jealous and dissatisfied, and most of the ministers would not dare to agree. However, Pei Jingchuan looked very open and honest, without the slightest guilt.
At this time, the emperor sitting above couldn't help but feel much better when he saw that Gu Yina chose Pei Jingchuan, because Pei Jingchuan was already married, so the princess had made the wrong choice, and in the end he could only choose his own prince.
But Gu Yina was still a little unwilling. She subconsciously looked towards Pei Jingchuan's side. When her eyes met Xu Qingyan, she asked, "Is your wife her?"
Pei Jingchuan turned to look at Xu Qingyan and nodded seriously: "Yes!"
Gui Na's face showed a trace of dejection, and she thought: Oh... She has lived for more than ten years, and finally met a man who could make her fall in love with him at first sight, but he turned out to be a man with a family! Woo woo... God, you are so cruel!
The more Gu Yina thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. She was even a little unwilling to accept it. After a while, she gritted her teeth and looked at Pei Jingchuan, and asked again seriously: "This princess really likes you. Are you willing to divorce your wife and remarry? This princess will compensate your wife and help her find another husband. Don't worry, the compensation I give will definitely not be small. As long as she is willing, I can give her ten thousand taels of gold. Do you think it's okay?"
As soon as Gu Yina said this, the whole hall fell silent. The eyes of the Third Prince and the Sixth Prince looked at Gu Yina with more complicated and fiery expressions. Even Pei Jingyuan's eyes dimmed. How powerful is Princess Louxi? She could easily ask for ten thousand taels of gold!
Originally, everyone was surprised that Princess Louxi forced others to divorce their wives and remarry, and was surprised at how immoral she was. However, when she mentioned the ten thousand taels of gold, everyone's attention was focused on the ten thousand taels of gold.
Even Xu Qingyan couldn't help but start calculating in her heart. She was vaguely moved and calculated frantically in her heart, [Wow! How much is ten thousand taels of gold? It sounds like a huge number. In her world before she traveled through the book, the price of gold was rising steadily, and it had almost reached more than seven hundred per gram. Then ten thousand taels of gold is equal to 375 million! Wow! More than three hundred million in modern times, that's a rich man! Although, I don't know what it counts in ancient times, but it must be not bad! Wow...Princess Louxi is so generous! She gave me more than three hundred million so that I can get a divorce! Sisters, I give you more than three hundred million, will you get a divorce? What should I do! I seem to be a little moved! If I take this more than three hundred million and run away, it can be regarded as far away from the male and female protagonists, and I can be alone in the future. The end of the world is cool and unrestrained! ]
Pei Jingchuan, who was standing by, almost couldn't hold back his expression after hearing Xu Qingyan's thoughts. Although he didn't know what the divorce and modern times meant, it was hard not to guess that Xu Qingyan was moved and wanted to divorce him!
So, Pei Jingchuan stared at Xu Qingyan with an ugly expression, and the aura emanating from his body became more and more terrifying. The Duke, the Duke's wife, and Pei Jinyu all looked at Pei Jingchuan awkwardly.
Pei Jinyu looked at Pei Jingchuan and thought: Big brother! This ten thousand taels of gold is really too much. I don't know if their entire Yinggong Mansion can be worth so much money if they sell it! Most people can't resist the temptation of money! It's normal for my sister-in-law to be a little tempted!
Xu Qingyan hesitated for a short while, and suddenly she felt a strong cold air beside her. She glanced sideways and met Pei Jingchuan's dark and deep eyes with some resentment.
After seeing Pei Jingchuan like this, Xu Qingyan immediately came to her senses and thought: [Forget it... forget it! This is a priceless treasure, but it's hard to find a lover! My husband is so handsome and so good to me. If I lose him, I'm afraid I won't be able to find him even if I run around the world! Princess Louxi is willing to spend ten thousand taels of gold to exchange him with me, doesn't this prove that my husband is good! I have picked up a treasure! No! I must not give it to the princess! ]
After Pei Jingchuan heard this, his expression gradually brightened up. This time he was not so polite to the princess and said, "No! This is forcibly breaking up other people's marriages. Princess, this action is probably beneath your dignity!"
"Are you really unwilling? What about your wife? Doesn't she want to either? With these ten thousand taels of gold, she will be able to live a good life in the future!" Gu Yina said anxiously.
Because her father said that she would not go back after coming to Daxia this time, and she must marry in Daxia, and she must marry into the center of power. It was not easy for her to see a man she liked, but this man just refused to agree. Doesn't that mean she has to choose between those two wretched princes?
"Your Highness, why do you have to choose my husband? We have so many outstanding men in Daxia, why don't you look at others?" At this time, before Pei Jingchuan could speak, Xu Qingyan spoke with some curiosity.
She was really curious. Why didn't the princess test these men as it was written in the book? Why didn't she choose Pei Jingyuan but Pei Jingchuan?
"Because he is handsome! As soon as I entered the hall, I was attracted to him. It was the first time in my life that I had such a feeling of being in love at first sight. Others didn't even need to look at him." Gu Yina said frankly.
"Ah? Is that it?" Xu Qingyan asked in surprise.
She really didn't expect that it was because of this! Princess Louxi actually chose Pei Jingchuan just based on his face! It turns out that before absolute beauty, everything else is just a passing cloud, so why would there be any need for any test?
However, after Xu Qingyan thought about it carefully, she felt that this was reasonable. After all, Pei Jingchuan's appearance was indeed heavenly, and even Pei Jingyuan standing next to him looked dull. Otherwise, Her Royal Highness the Princess had already stood in front of the table of the Duke of Ying's Mansion, but she didn't even look at Pei Jingyuan for a second?
Moreover, in the original book, Pei Jingchuan had already died of illness and had no chance to attend the banquet. The princess had never met Pei Jingchuan, so she was attracted by Pei Jingyuan's talent.
Suddenly, Xu Qingyan thought of something and began to worry. She whispered, "Oh... No... Apart from my husband, the King of Qin is a hundred times more handsome than Pei Jingyuan! In the original book, the King of Qin did not attend this banquet. Princess Louxi has been rejected by her husband now. Will she choose the King of Qin later? If so, what should Jinyu do?"
What she feared was bound to come true. Just as she was worrying, suddenly Concubine Ru, who was sitting above her, spoke with a smile, breaking the awkwardness in the hall.
I only heard Concubine Ru said: "Princess, since Young Master Pei rejected you, you might as well consider something else. Our Great Xia royal family has so many princes, and all of them are excellent. Do you want to learn more about them and choose one from them? This princess and the prince, this identity sounds like a good match."
