The old lady is concerned about her life now, so how dare she be stubborn?
"That damn girl... that girl, she might be blaming me for marrying her to Prince Lu, but I didn't know the Prince's Mansion was such a dangerous place. Now that everyone is dead, what can I do..." At this point, the old lady suddenly thought of something, and her face looked a little strange, "But... there is one thing."
"I promised her that I would marry her sister to an ordinary citizen as her legal wife... Did she know I changed my mind and come to harm me?!" The old lady was a little angry. "Mr. Xiao, can't you let that damn girl die..."
Before she could finish her words, the old lady felt a sharp pain in her chest.
He immediately shut up.
"It seems that you yourself know where the crux of the problem lies." Xiao Cunyu smiled without saying anything.
The old lady was not happy. "But I want my second granddaughter to live in Prince Rui's mansion. I heard that Prince Rui is very gentle, and life in his mansion must be easy! Besides, if Prince Rui ascends the throne in the future, it will be a step to heaven. How wonderful!"
After saying this, Xiao Cunyu's smile turned a little cold.
"Old lady, I'm afraid you will have to pay more money." Xiao Cunyu said lightly.
"What?" The old lady was stunned.
"Hush money." Xiao Cunyu chuckled. "The Emperor is still here, and we still have the Crown Prince as the heir apparent. And yet, old lady, you're still so arrogant! You're making such a fuss about something that even the most important officials in the court dare not say. Do you think you can still control the Emperor?"
"If I spread what you said, the Duan family's wealth and prosperity may be lost." Xiao Cunyu was a little insidious.
"How could you tell it to others..." The old lady was shocked.
"Give me one thousand taels of hush money, and I won't tell anyone about it." Xiao Cunyu said lazily.
The old lady was holding back her anger.
She is used to speaking without restraint at home!
Moreover, his son had said before that Prince Rui would definitely achieve great things in the future. In order to climb up this big tree, he would throw money at Prince Rui and Prince Lu at all costs!
When he married off his daughter, he gave her 100,000 taels of silver, and later on, he gave her nearly 200,000 taels of silver in installments.
The Duan family had opened countless businesses and was well-off, their only shortfall being status. This money was well spent.
It was not until Xiao Cunyu pointed it out that the old lady remembered that Prince Rui...
He is still just a prince.
I feel reluctant, but I still have to give the money.
He honestly took out the money.
The two kneeling old women over there looked at this and felt a little scared.
They... also know about the old lady's affairs. Now that the old lady wants to punish them, will that include this matter and then silence them?
They had followed the old lady for a long time and knew that she was a heartless and cruel person...
Both of them began to have wild thoughts in their minds.
The old lady gave Xiao Cunyu the banknote, and he calmly put it away. He then said slowly, "I think your eldest granddaughter has completely given up on you. Even if you agree to marry the second daughter off as your principal wife, I don't think your eldest granddaughter will believe that the family you find is good. She might stay with you for a while and wait until the second daughter has children, or even when the children grow up and have a stable status. Maybe then she will give up and leave. You can bear it for now."
"How can this be possible!?" The old lady was angry. "Why is she so picky!?"
"Your own granddaughter? Maybe she inherited her picky personality from you?" Xiao Cunyu sneered.
