The Duke Dingguo's Mansion was to be emptied to allow Bei Yuzhu to marry into the Prince Duan's Mansion, but Bei Kangcheng was unwilling to do so, so the talks fell through.
When the princess found out about it, she was very angry.
"Bei Kangcheng, Yuzhu is your daughter."
"Even if she is my daughter, what does it matter? If she hadn't been so disrespectful, Prince Duan would have been able to empty the Duke Dingguo Mansion and the Princess' Mansion."
Bei Kangcheng used to love his wife and daughter, but from beginning to end, the only person he loved the most was himself.
Now, he no longer loves her, and it is even more impossible for him to empty the entire Duke Dingguo Mansion for his daughter.
What's more, he doesn't even know whether this daughter is his own.
Moreover, Prince Duan was deposed from the throne of Crown Prince, and he was not willing to gamble with the entire Duke Dingguo's Mansion.
The eldest princess was actually unwilling to do so, and she was also dissatisfied with Prince Duan's attitude, but she was even more dissatisfied with Bei Kangcheng's attitude.
In the eyes of the eldest princess, the entire Duke Dingguo Mansion should belong to her daughter. If she had not married Bei Kangcheng, when the old marquis and Bei Kangshi died in battle, the Bei family might have been dealt with by her brother the emperor.
"Bei Kangcheng, Yuzhu must marry into the Duke of Duan's Mansion. This princess doesn't ask you to empty the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion, but at least give him 70%."
"It's your business if you want to empty out your Princess Mansion, but Duke Dingguo's Mansion can't do that."
Bei Kangcheng was shocked when he thought that the Bei family was managed by the eldest princess in the past. He hurried back to the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, replaced all the people in charge of the warehouse, changed the locks, and immediately asked someone to count the things in the warehouse, including house deeds, land deeds, shop deeds, etc.
When the eldest princess found out, she was so angry that she almost killed herself.
"Okay, Bei Kangcheng, if you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust."
The eldest princess really hated Bei Kangcheng now.
When Bei Yuze came back, he kept saying bad things about Bei Kangcheng. Bei Yuzhu could be said to have been raised by the eldest princess. Although she was taken care of by maids and old women, the eldest princess also put a lot of effort into raising Bei Yuze.
In addition to his natural identity and the contrast with his biological mother who abandoned him for love, Bei Yuze naturally became close to the eldest princess and regarded her as his own mother.
But Bei Yuze was also raised by Bei Kangcheng, and is as selfish as Bei Kangcheng.
If it was something else, it would be fine, but since it involved the money of Duke Dingguo's Mansion, Bei Yuze also treated it as his own.
If it was the eldest princess's thing and was given to Bei Yuzhu, Bei Yuze would have no choice but to accept it, because Bei Yuzhu was his biological daughter.
But everything in the Duke Dingguo Mansion naturally belongs to him, the prince.
Therefore, the eldest princess wanted to empty the Duke Dingguo Mansion and the Princess' Mansion to marry Bei Yuzhu into the Prince Duan Mansion. Not to mention 70%, even if it was 10%, he would not be willing to do so.
"Mother, Sister Yuzhu is pregnant with Prince Duan's child. It would be better for her to go to the palace and find the Emperor. Unless Prince Duan no longer cares about the throne, he would dare to disobey the order and not marry Sister Yuzhu."
"But your sister Yuzhu is going to marry into the Prince Duan's mansion. She can't let the Queen and Prince Duan dislike her."
The eldest princess had wanted to go to the emperor for a long time, but she was still concerned about the Queen and Prince Duan. After all, her daughter was going to marry into Prince Duan's mansion. If she was really disliked by the Queen and Prince Duan, her life would definitely be difficult.
“But now, don’t they dislike Sister Yuzhu?”
Bei Yuze's words made the eldest princess' face darken.
She didn't want to admit it, but it was true.
"Okay, I'll go to the palace to find my brother right away."
The eldest princess no longer cared about Bei Yuze.
Bei Yuze went to see Bei Yuzhu and squinted his eyes at this sister. In the past, he had always tried to please this sister and acted as Bei Yuzhu's little follower, not even being close to his own sister.
But now this sister wants to dig up the past of his Bei family, not to mention that this sister may not even be of the blood of their Bei family. Bei Yuze is disgusted.
When the Bei family founded the country, they were granted the title of earl. Afterwards, in order not to arouse the jealousy of those in power, they always sought wealth instead of promotion.
It was not until the old marquis' generation that he was granted the title of marquis, but he was still too hardworking and was feared by the emperor.
Therefore, Bei Kangcheng had been living off the wealth of several generations of the Bei family. After he married the eldest princess, the eldest princess also lived in the marquis's mansion. The family of three spent extravagantly, not to mention that they had been sending generous and valuable gifts to the palace over the years.
The Bei family's current financial situation can sustain them for another two generations as long as they don't spend lavishly. But if Bei Kangcheng and his family of three continue like this, it's hard to say.
"Brother Ze, go and persuade father. If I marry into Prince Duan's mansion and become the mother of the country in the future, the Bei family will gain so much more. Can't we give up this little bit of family wealth?"
In Bei Yuzhu's view, emptying the Duke Dingguo's Mansion is not a big deal. As long as the title is there, how can the Bei family be short of money?
Besides, when she becomes the queen, the Bei family will only be more glorious than her ancestors.
"Sister, our family fortune has been completely drained. How will the Bei family survive? How will the huge Duke's Mansion be supported? How will the monthly wages of the servants be paid..."
Bei Yuze listed all the problems to Bei Yuzhu one by one. Although he was adopted into the eldest wife's family and was treated better than his biological sister, he could not compare with Bei Yuzhu.
So he cares more about money.
The Bei family will belong to him from now on. How can Bei Yuzhuo drain his family wealth?
Bei Yuzhu's face turned ugly. She glared at Bei Yuze and said, "Don't forget, I am my father and mother's biological daughter. You are just the heir of the second wife."
"Big sister, you are a woman and cannot inherit the family business. I will be adopted into the eldest wife's family and become their heir. I will take care of my father and mother until their death and carry on the family line."
According to the family tree, he is already the eldest wife's legitimate son.
Not adopted, but biologically born.
Bei Yuzhu didn't know this either.
Bei Yuze also discovered it by accident.
This was what Bei Kangcheng and the eldest princess did privately, and the elders of the Bei family all acquiesced.
Anyway, the second house has a concubine's son to inherit.
When the family tree is passed down in the future, who will still remember that Bei Yuze is the biological son of the second wife? They will only think that Bei Yuze is the biological son of Kang Cheng and the eldest princess.
"Yuze, please help your sister."
Bei Yuzhu was angry, but she also knew that she couldn't be tough and had to learn to be submissive.
"Sister, the Duke Dingguo Mansion will naturally provide a dowry for you, but it's impossible for them to empty their coffers. Even if I agree, my father won't agree. But the Princess' Mansion can. Mother's dowry has never been used. It was all left to you, isn't it?"
"Sister, we are blood siblings, so naturally I hope for your best. After our father and mother pass away, I will be there to support the Duke of Dingguo Mansion, and I will also be able to support you."
Bei Yuze persuaded Bei Yuzhu by reasoning with her and appealing to her emotions.
Bei Yuze returned to Duke Dingguo's Mansion and went to see Bei Kangcheng.
Bei Kangcheng was counting the Bei family's money. When he saw Bei Yuze coming, he handed over part of the property to Bei Yuze.
"You are the prince now, so I will leave this to you. Don't get involved with your mother and Yuzhu."
Bei Yuze was delighted. This was his first time getting involved in the Bei family's business, so he naturally followed Bei Kangcheng's instructions. "A son listens to his father. But what about Sister Yuzhu? Mother has already gone to the palace to ask for an audience with the emperor."
"Don't worry about it. Go back to the Imperial College and don't come back home too often."
"yes"
Bei Yuze took what he got and left.
Bei Kangcheng was thinking about how to keep his two pregnant concubines safe.
He has to plan ahead.
