The princess has no moral principles, why did you provoke her?

Chapter 134 Using Daughter to Make Money

Minister Bai has been in a state of panic lately, and he wants to get angry every time he returns home.

With so many people in the mansion, the gold, silver and jewelry in the warehouse could disappear in broad daylight.

I used to go out to eat and drink with my good colleagues often, but now I am short of money and have no money to go out to eat and drink.

In the evening, he was invited by the Shaoqing of Dali Temple to have a drink together. The two of them drank and started chatting.

The Junior Official of the Dali Temple said, “I heard that the wealthy old man Liu Baiwan in the capital wants to marry a concubine, and he requires that she must be a legitimate daughter of an official of the fourth rank or above to carry on his family line.

The betrothal gift is 200,000 taels of silver plus ten shops in the capital. Anyone who marries his daughter to her will become rich immediately..."

Minister Bai heard all these words.

He thought that everyone in the mansion was so poor that they had to sell everything they had. If they had that money, at least they would have enough food and clothing.

After drinking, he came to the eldest lady's room a little drunk.

Seeing Minister Bai coming in drunkenly, the eldest lady stood up hurriedly and said, "Master, how did you drink so much? I'll have someone make you a bowl of sobering soup."

"No need!"

Minister Bai was about to speak, but he didn't know where to start, so he hesitated.

The eldest lady saw something was going on, and she said softly, "Master, we have been married for many years. If you have anything to say, just tell me. There is no need to hesitate."

Minister Bai sat on a chair, poured himself a cup of tea, carefully skimmed off the foam on top, and took a sip.

Not knowing what to say, he took another sip and finally put the teacup down.

He frowned and said earnestly, "Madam, I know that you manage the household well. You budget carefully every day, and it's very hard for you to manage the household."

Yun Wanqing didn't like what she heard, and thought: Is this to take back the power of the head of the family? Otherwise, why would he say that?

She felt a little guilty, with a faint smile on her face: "Master, this is my responsibility."

Minister Bai coughed and got straight to the point: "The Bai family is struggling right now, and Kang'er has grown up and wants to start a family and build a career.

We can't even afford the betrothal gifts, and my husband's salary isn't enough to make ends meet. Who would be willing to marry into the Bai family?"

The eldest lady's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and her tone was much sharper: "It's all that thief's fault. He stole everything in the warehouse.

If I knew who she was, I would cut him into pieces."

(Ye Qingyan sat in Baicaotang and began to sneeze non-stop. She thought: I wonder which prodigal child is scolding me again.)

Minister Bai was also filled with anger: "He should have been skinned and his tendons pulled out. He has caused our Bai Mansion to be in this state.

Now that everything has become a reality, we must first solve the problem of silver. Only with enough silver can the Bai Mansion regain its glory."

The eldest lady had an illusion that Minister Bai was setting a trap for her to fall into.

Her complexion improved a little, and she asked, "Master, have you found a way to make money?"

Minister Bai nodded slightly, "Madam, if this can be accomplished, we can earn two hundred thousand taels of silver and ten shops in the capital. We just meet the requirements.

As long as you can be ruthless, you will earn this money. With this money, you can be the head of the family and do whatever you want. "

When the eldest lady heard that there was money to be made, her eyes lit up: "Master, please don't keep me in suspense. How do you make money?"

"As long as we marry our daughter to Liu Baiwan, we can get the money.

But I have conditions. She must be the legitimate daughter of an official of the fourth rank or above. After all, the upbringing of an official's daughter is different. I want to continue the family line."

Yun Wanqing's face darkened, a solemn air like fallen leaves in the autumn wind, and she angrily said, "Liu Baiwan is even older than you, with a head full of white hair, and you actually let your daughter marry an old man for money!

No, my daughter won't marry, and I can't push her into the fire pit for money."

Minister Bai's face darkened immediately: "My daughter is just a money-loser. It doesn't matter who she marries, the purpose is to give birth to children.

Can you give such a large betrothal gift to marry someone else? Don't you know what the Bai Mansion is like now?

If we have two hundred thousand taels of silver and ten shops, we won't have to worry about our future life.

This is not to ask for your opinion, but to inform you.

If you insist on not agreeing, then you won't have to sit on the position of Madam Bai, and it will be replaced by Concubine Feng."

Minister Bai never dared to speak to Yun Wanqing like this, because his father was the Grand Tutor of the current dynasty, and he became the Minister with the help of the Grand Tutor.

The eldest lady burst into tears at that time: "You are so heartless, you never dared to be so mean to me before, but now you have achieved success and fame and become so powerful.

Don't forget that you reached your current position by stepping on the stepping stone of the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

My father was able to make you an assistant minister, so he can naturally get the emperor to remove your official position."

Minister Bai was a little scared at that time, he was under great control.

He immediately smiled and said, "Madam, please don't treat me like that. I was just anxious at the moment and said something angry.

"As Madam, Xiyue won't marry. Whoever wants the two hundred thousand taels of silver and the shop can take it. There are many legitimate daughters of officials above the fourth rank who can get it."

Seeing that he had given in, the eldest lady's anger subsided a lot. Her eyes moved with calculation.

A gentle smile appeared on the corner of her lips. "Master, I have a solution that will satisfy both of us. We can get the silver, and Xiyue won't have to marry."

Minister Bai had been disheartened, but hope suddenly ignited in his heart. "Madam, what do you mean?"

Yun Wanqing's eyes were as soft as cotton, yet within them was a gleam like a silver needle: "Master, how could you forget that you have a daughter, Bai Jinxin?"

"If her mother returns to the Bai Mansion, she should be the lady. What will you do then? Become a co-wife?" Minister Bai's brain short-circuited at this moment.

The eldest lady glared at him and warned him, "I am the third lady of the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

At that time, you were the legal wife who was married with the three books and six ceremonies, and everyone in the court knew about it.

If you dare to make me your concubine, I will make public the fact that you abandoned your wife and daughter for fame and fortune. Given the Emperor's temper, your position as a minister will be over."

Minister Bai was busy showing his courtesy and rubbing Yun Wanqing's back: "How can I let you be my equal wife?

You will be the wife and she will be the concubine. If you adopt Bai Jinxin under your name, she will become your legitimate daughter."

The eldest lady's eyebrows curled up: "This is a good idea, she must be a concubine, our daughter can't marry her, so let Bai Jinxin marry her.

We have got the money. As for whether she lives or dies after marrying him, even if she is tortured to death by that old man in the middle of the night, it has nothing to do with us. We have already sent her there.

Time is urgent, we sent someone to bring Bai Jinxin and her daughter back."

As long as he can make money, Minister Bai doesn't care about anything else. Love is not as important as his wealth and glory.
