Chapter 490 Taking Back the Dowry
"Besides, it was you who proposed to let Mingxia pretend to be Xinyu to marry in place of her. Now that Xinyu is gone, Mingxia's marriage is a foregone conclusion. We have already promised His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Princess Ye, and there is no way back. Do you understand?"
Xu seemed to be awakened by lightning. Her heart trembled and she suddenly loosened her hand.
Yes, it was her idea and now there is no choice!
They couldn't afford to offend Princess Ye, and they couldn't afford to offend the Crown Prince even more.
Comparing these two people, it is safer to offend Princess Ye.
Thinking of this, Xu couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable, "Then Master, please give this silver to Ming Xia as a dowry!"
Anyway, Mingxia's money is still hers, and she can just find a way to get it back when the time comes!
In addition, all of Zhong Xinyu's dowry was packed into boxes by Zhong Changli, waiting to be sent to the Night King's Palace the next day.
Before dawn the next day, Mingxia was pulled out of bed and put on a pink wedding dress.
After she put on the human skin mask and washed and dressed, Xu looked at her fiercely and said, "Don't forget what I told you. When you go to the Night Palace, you have to act crazy and stupid from time to time. Don't let the Night Princess touch your face. Do you understand?"
Ming Xia said obediently: "Madam, I understand!"
Mrs. Xu was not satisfied after she finished speaking, and she continued to chatter: "As for the dowry, you cannot touch even a tael of silver without my permission. If you don't have money to spend, go ask Princess Ye for it. She has plenty of silver."
"Besides that, you must obey my instructions. Do whatever I tell you to do. I will send someone to deliver a letter to you when the time comes."
As she spoke, she took out a small porcelain bottle from her sleeve and put it into Mingxia's hand.
"And take this bottle of medicine. You may need it in the future."
Ming Xia's eyes widened and her lips parted, "Madam, what is this?"
Xu's eyes were sinister, and she said coldly: "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. Get on the sedan chair!"
She was too lazy to explain. The prince had just sent someone to deliver the medicine. He did not give any detailed instructions on how to use it. He only told Miss Zhong to take the medicine, and he would send someone to tell her when she needed it.
Xu handed the medicine bottle directly to Mingxia. Mingxia thought about it and put the medicine bottle in her arms and got into the sedan chair.
The news that His Royal Highness the Night King married Miss Zhong as his concubine became known to everyone.
The bridal sedan went all the way to the Night King's Mansion. Because it was carrying the dowry, more and more people gathered to watch the excitement.
No one had expected that His Royal Highness the Night Prince would actually agree to take a concubine, and it was the Night Prince's Consort who helped arrange this.
At this moment, inside the Night King’s Palace.
Taozhi paced anxiously in the yard. She asked Chen Hu: "Is the princess not back yet?"
Chen Hu shook his head, "No, the princess has been out for a long time, let's wait a little longer!"
At this moment, Hongxiu ran in and said, "Sister Taozhi, the bridal sedan from the Zhong Mansion has arrived at the gate of our house. Should we open the back door to let them in?"
Chen Hu's face suddenly turned cold, "We can't let them in. The princess said that we have to wait until she comes back."
"Since their bridal sedan has arrived, let them wait outside. It won't cost them anything if they wait a little longer."
After he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something and added another sentence.
"By the way, the dowry from the Zhong Mansion can be carried in through the back door first, but the bridal sedan will have to wait."
The entrance to the Night King's Mansion was crowded with people, and the streets on both sides were blocked.
Looking at the tightly closed door of Prince Ye's Mansion, Xu couldn't help feeling a little angry.
She was about to ask someone to knock on the door when Zhong Changli pulled her back.
He whispered, "Today is Yu'er's big day, less trouble is worse than more, so you'd better stop making trouble!"
Xu frowned and said unhappily, "Master, is it me who is making trouble?"
"The bridal sedan of our Zhong Mansion has already arrived at the gate of the Night Prince's Mansion. I don't believe that Princess Ye doesn't know about this in the mansion. What does it mean that she is refusing to let us in now?"
Zhong Changli sighed, "It's still early now, let's wait a little longer, maybe Princess Ye will come out soon!"
Luo Jingshen sat in the restaurant diagonally opposite, looking at the scene below coldly and sneered.
"Could it be that Ji Yuntang suddenly changed his mind and dared not open the door?"
Seeing that he was in a rare good mood today, Lin Chuan quickly poured him a glass of wine and handed it to him, and said:
"What's the point of regretting? Princess Ye promised this herself. Now the Zhong family has sent their daughter to her door. Even if she doesn't want His Royal Highness the Night King to take a concubine, she has no choice!"
Luo Jingshen picked up the wine glass and drank it all, then crossed his legs and said lazily: "Yes, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. These women dream of having a lifelong love for one person, but it's just that the men haven't gotten tired of playing with them yet!"
"Although my third brother is disabled, he definitely still wants a woman in his heart. Ji Yuntang is beautiful, but her temper is really unruly. No man can stand it. I don't believe Luo Junhe can always tolerate her."
Lin Chuan nodded and agreed: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is right. This Miss Zhong is a lunatic. If she marries into the Night King's Palace, there will be something interesting to watch!"
The master and servant smiled at each other, and Luo Jingshen asked Linchuan, "By the way, I asked you to deliver the poison to the Zhong Mansion. Did you hand it over to Zhong Changli?"
"I handed it over to his wife, Ms. Xu, and Ms. Xu should have handed it over to Miss Zhong!" Linchuan said.
Luo Jingshen nodded, "After she comes in, find a chance for her to put the drug into Luo Junhe and Ji Yuntang's food. It would be best if they both died by then. If they are not dead and are accidentally discovered by Ji Yuntang, she can't possibly bother with a lunatic, right?"
"I no longer expect Miss Zhong to make Luo Junhe divorce his wife. I just hope she can poison Luo Junhe to death. Then, even if Ji Yuntang really wants to investigate, someone from the Zhong family will take the blame, and it has nothing to do with me."
Lin Chuan smiled and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is really thoughtful."
Just when Chen Hu and his friends were at a loss, Ji Yuntang came back!
They hurried over to greet her, "Princess, you are finally back. If we don't open the door, the Zhong family will start making trouble!"
Ji Yuntang took off her black mask while untying her hair. She was as calm and composed as ever.
"It's okay. Prince Chen's men are guarding outside. They don't dare to force their way in. Please allow me to go in and change clothes first."
A quarter of an hour later, Ji Yuntang came out of the room neatly dressed. She had delicate makeup on her face, and she was gorgeous and graceful. She was wearing a gorgeous dress embroidered with gold thread, which was gorgeous and elegant.
