The eldest lady was extremely angry, but she couldn't do anything about Gu Lingshuang.

She laughed dryly: "Shuangshuang, our Pingyang Marquis Mansion really can't afford so much money."

Gu Lingshuang looked puzzled: "Aunt, what I want is not the money from the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion, but my father's military pay."

The eldest lady was speechless.

Gu Lingshuang looked uncertain: "My father's military pay wouldn't have been spent, right? My father had five hundred taels of military pay every month, and he was reluctant to spend a penny. He had everyone take it back to the Marquis' Mansion to save up a dowry for me. In ten years, all the sixty thousand taels of military pay had been spent?"

"No, Shuangshuang, listen to your aunt's explanation."

Gu Lingshuang stood up suddenly: "It's useless for my aunt to explain such a big thing to me. I'd better call my father and let my aunt explain it clearly in front of my father."

Even if the lady had two more guts, she wouldn't dare to tell Gu Nanxiao that all the military pay had been spent.

She hurriedly pulled Gu Lingshuang and said, "Shuangshuang, why are you so anxious? Listen to what your aunt has to say first."

"You say." Gu Lingshuang sneered in his heart, I want to see what tricks you can play.

At this point, the eldest lady can no longer play tricks. Gu Nanxiao is in the mansion, and it will be troublesome if that little bitch Gu Lingshuang goes to Gu Nanxiao to complain.

She endured the pain and said, "Your father's military pay has been kept here. How could the Marquis' Mansion move it? What do you think of our Pingyang Marquis' Mansion?

The reason why the aunt hesitated is because it is such a large sum of money, and I need to discuss it with your grandmother. "

"Are you sure that my aunt will give it to me?"

"Haha, sure, of course I'm sure, it originally belonged to you."

Zhang was almost vomiting to death. Asking her to spit out the silver she had put into her mouth was like cutting her flesh.

But there was no way, because the first house needed Gu Lingshuang, the little bitch, to marry the sickly prince instead of Xian'er.

It would be all over if she regretted it in a fit of anger.

"Give me a few days' grace, and I'll go back and discuss it with your grandmother."

"Three days." Gu Lingshuang said firmly: "After three days, I want to see 60,000 taels of silver in my yard, otherwise I will neither forgive the Third Prince nor marry him."

The eldest lady felt a breath stuck in her chest, unable to move it up or down.

She had originally planned to delay it until Gu Lingshuang got married.

On the day of her wedding, she should have a few more carriages and fill them with some worthless junk to make up the number.

Anyway, once this bitch gets married, she will no longer be a member of the Marquis' Mansion. If she dares to ask for dowry money again, it would be unreasonable.

Unexpectedly, Gu Lingshuang did not give her the chance to delay and set a three-day deadline.

Gu Lingshuang yawned: "Aunt, if you have nothing else to do, please go back first. I still need to get some beauty sleep."

After she finished speaking, she went into the inner room, leaving the eldest lady outside.

Zhang was so angry that she glared at Gu Lingshuang viciously.

You lowly creature, you can be proud of yourself for now. When my Xian'er marries the Third Prince and becomes his principal wife, I will see how I will deal with you.

She snorted coldly and turned to go to the old lady's Cijing Hall.

After telling the old lady about Gu Lingshuang's request, the old lady got very angry.

But no matter how angry you are, you still have to prepare the money.

"The second brother's military pay has long been spent. How about this, the silver will be taken from the treasury of the mansion first."

The eldest lady was unhappy: "Mother, there is not enough money in the treasury. Besides, Xian'er is going to marry the third prince, so the dowry cannot be too shabby."

The old lady frowned, "I'm afraid I'll have to put Xian'er in a difficult position this time. After all, that bitch Gu Lingshuang is in a hurry for money. If we anger her, she won't want to get married. As for the remaining part, we can use those shops in the city that don't do well in business to make up for it."

Zhang was still unhappy: "Do you really want Xian'er to suffer this kind of injustice? She will go to the Third Prince's mansion and need to take care of everything. How can she do it without money?"

The old lady sighed, "I will allocate some money from my own private treasury to Xian'er. As a mother, you also have some private money. Give more to Xian'er. When Xian'er gives birth to a child for the Third Prince, she will definitely benefit from our mansion."

After thinking about it, Zhang had no choice but to agree.

As long as they can climb up to the high branch of the Third Prince, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, they will be considered half royal relatives.

Although things are a bit difficult now, better days are yet to come.

Thinking of this, Zhang finally felt a lot more balanced.

After Zhang returned, she continued to prepare dowry for Gu Xianer.

The old lady began to order people to count the silver in the treasury.

After the inventory was complete, including silver and various pearls and agates, the total amount was no more than 55,000 taels of silver.

The old lady just felt a pain in her heart. Gu Lingshuang was going to empty the warehouse of Pingyang Marquis’ Mansion.

If Gu Nanxiao was not at home, she would dare to put pressure on Gu Lingshuang, but Gu Nanxiao had no intention of returning to the army for the time being after returning this time.

The old lady was helpless. It seemed that she could not keep the silver. She had to fill in some shops to make up the shortfall.

Gu Lingshuang's dowry this time almost emptied the Pingyang Marquis's mansion.

The old lady almost died of anger.

The next day, the third prince came to the Marquis of Pingyang's mansion as expected.

He did not come alone, he was accompanied by several sons of ministers.

As the group of five entered the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, they were given a grand reception.

Gu Lingshuang got the news as soon as they entered the mansion.

Xia He: "Miss, what should we do? Do you really want to forgive him and agree to get married on the first day of August?"

"What else?" There is nothing better than marrying King Xiaoyao.

However, she can just use this opportunity to clean up the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, and use the scumbag Xiao Xinghan to destroy the reputation of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion.

I didn’t expect that Xiao Xinghan actually brought four people with him.

According to Xia He's description, she learned that these four people were uneducated and unskilled in Shengjing.

Gu Lingshuang understood why Xiao Xinghan did this. He was probably trying to use those four people to embarrass her.

But this time, his plan was destined to fail for her.

"Xia He, go see where Gu Xian'er's wet nurse is."

Xia He didn't understand what her young lady was going to do for a moment, but she didn't ask any more questions.

After a cup of tea, Xia He came back with a red face.

"Miss, the eldest lady's nurse is in the garden, she is... is..."

Gu Lingshuang understood without further explanation. It must be the wet nurse's love poison that had struck again.

"It's a nice day today. Let's go for a walk in the garden."

Gu Lingshuang brought Xia He to the garden.

As soon as they left Jingya Garden, Gu Qingfeng and Gu Xianer brought the third prince and others to Jingya Garden.

"Is the second sister here?" Gu Xian'er asked softly. Her every move was so fascinating that the Third Prince and others were almost lost.

The more the Third Prince looked at Xian'er, the more he liked her.

Haha, he will marry Xian'er soon, and on their wedding night, he will make sure to study this little fairy Xian'er thoroughly inside and out.
