Chapter 6: This King Falls in Love at First Sight, and Will Marry No One But Her
Box after box of betrothal gifts were carried in, and the hall could not hold them all, so a large pile was placed in the yard.
Old Master Yun looked at the prince's seal clearly written on the marriage certificate, his expression indescribable.
"...Qingqing, are you really going to marry into the Regent's Palace?" The old man was not very surprised, but worried instead.
Yun Qingqing felt a little warm in her heart. The Regent had power over the whole world. If he were a more snobbish person, he would probably be extremely proud.
But the old man felt that the Regent was paralyzed and blind, and it would be unfair to him to marry him.
She smiled slightly:
"Grandpa, Qingqing fell in love with His Royal Highness the Regent at first sight and wants to marry him. I hope you can help her."
As soon as she finished speaking, a certain prince agreed and continued:
"This prince also fell in love with Qingqing at first sight, and I want to marry her. I hope Grandpa will agree to this."
Yun Qingqing: ...
When it comes to acting, it has to be you, the Regent.
Everyone present didn't know what to feel. Is this still the dreaded Prince Sha Shen?
I fell in love with her at first sight. Can you see that, Your Majesty? Do you know how ugly she is?
Yun Zhiping and his family were very upset but they didn't dare to say anything.
Old Master Yun looked at the two of them for a while with a complicated expression, then sighed:
"My granddaughter has had a rough life. I hope Your Highness will have pity on her and treat her well."
Yun Bailian, who had been silent all this time, twisted the corner of her clothes tightly, her face distorted with anger.
How could this happen! Shouldn't that ugly Yun Qingqing be pestering the Crown Prince? Even if she failed to commit suicide by jumping into the river, she should have become the laughing stock of the whole city by now!
How come she suddenly turned around and asked the Regent to support her?
Moreover, although the prince is disabled, his appearance and temperament are unexpectedly stunning, and he has great power and has the final say. How could that ugly guy win the prince's favor!
If she becomes the Regent Princess, there's no telling how she'll take revenge on my family in the future. No, I absolutely cannot let her marry smoothly!
She rolled her eyes a few times, took a deep breath, took a step forward gracefully, and said softly:
"Since the prince is so devoted to my sister, we can't rush the wedding. Wouldn't it be too hasty to marry him tomorrow? I'm afraid people will gossip about my sister and think that the prince doesn't value her."
Yun Bailian was born with a sweet voice that was praised by countless people. She was confident that once she opened her mouth, the prince, who was originally blind and could only identify people by their voice, would be deeply impressed.
Xiao Changheng was indeed lost in thought, and she was even more determined to win.
When Yun Qingqing turned around, she saw a calculating glint in Yun Bailian's eyes, and she immediately sneered.
She was just busy with her engagement and had no time to take care of anything else for the moment, but some foolish people insisted on walking into trouble!
She immediately turned to Mr. Yun, pointed at the large pile of betrothal gifts and said:
"Grandpa, the prince has given me such a large betrothal gift, so my dowry must also match it, right?"
"This..." Old Master Yun's face froze, and he whispered, "Qingqing, Grandpa doesn't want to wrong you, but the financial resources of our Yun Mansion cannot compare with the prince's."
Xiao Changheng's hearing was far superior to that of ordinary people, and he heard it clearly. He raised his eyebrows and was about to speak when Yun Qingqing spoke first.
"That's easy. My second uncle has used my father's inheritance and my mother's monthly salary to buy a lot of private property over the years. I don't know how much he has earned. Let him return it to me. That should be enough!"
Yun Zhiping took a breath:
"Don't talk nonsense! That money has always been used for the expenses of the Yun Mansion. Where would I get my private property from?"
Yun Qingqing gave him a "hehe" expression, then turned to Xiao Changheng and said in a sweet voice:
"Your Highness! Look at them! They took my parents' money and now they won't admit it!"
Yun Zhiping's eyelids twitched wildly, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.
Xiao Changheng frowned and ordered calmly:
"Nan Zheng, take a few people with you and help the Yun Mansion sort out the accounts. If there's a copper coin missing, we'll hold you responsible."
Yun Qingqing gave the prince a thumbs up in her heart, he was really smart!
Nan Zheng looked at her expressionlessly, completely numb.
Our prince has not been normal since this ugly woman appeared. I don’t know what he likes about her.
But since the prince had given the order, he would definitely do it properly and said without hesitation: "Yes!"
Yun Zhiping was a little panicked and hated Yun Qingqing to the core.
How did she know that I had private property?
This damn girl was really pretending before, but now her true colors are finally revealed, she has such deep thoughts!
Fortunately, I have always been careful and my account books are flawless, so there is absolutely no way they can be discovered!
Thinking of this, he calmed down a little and said seriously:
"Okay! I will go to the mansion account and fully cooperate with Lord Nan Zheng to prove my innocence!"
Yun Bailian's originally tense heart was relieved when she saw her father so calm. She was thinking about how to stop the Regent from marrying Yun Qingqing.
At this moment, a servant suddenly ran in hurriedly:
"The eunuch from the palace has come to announce His Majesty's order!"
Everyone in the Yun Mansion hurried out to greet them, only to hear a young eunuch raise his chin and say loudly:
"Announce His Majesty's oral order. Yun Qingqing must enter the palace to meet you immediately!"
Mr. Yun was taken aback, and quickly asked politely:
"Does the father-in-law know what this is?"
The eunuch glanced at the pile of betrothal boxes in the courtyard, and finally his eyes fell on Yun Qingqing's face. He immediately showed some disgust and snorted coldly:
"What else could it be? Yun Qingqing defied the Imperial Order and refused to cancel the engagement. She even forced the Crown Prince to marry her in public, snatching the betrothal gift he had intended for Miss Su from the Prime Minister's Mansion. Lord Su has gone to the palace to file a complaint!"
"Yun Qingqing, why don't you hurry up and come with me to apologize to His Majesty!"
