As an elder, Mrs. Xie couldn't persuade her more. She seemed to be bullying others by talking too much.

He had no choice but to agree to send someone to notify the Crown Princess when she set a date for her return.

Mrs. Ji Er agreed.

Even though the Hou Mansion is good, it is not as good as the East Palace! The Crown Princess's promise is equivalent to that of the Crown Prince, so of course she needs a more precise guarantee.

Moreover, she subconsciously felt that the Crown Princess's guarantee was more reliable than that of people like the Marquis Mansion.

Qi didn't say a word from beginning to end, and no one specifically asked for her opinion. As for Qi herself, she doesn't really care that much.

Xie Yunshu was currently busy discussing with the Crown Prince how to pack the things needed for the southern tour and how to arrange other affairs in the East Palace when they were away. She was very busy every day.

Several Huangzhuang and Weiziling manors are already making preparations for spring plowing. This is a top priority and cannot be delayed.

Aunt Chun, Fang Xiaorou and her family must also be guarded securely, and they must not be given any excuses or opportunities to run out and cause trouble.

At Qingyun Food Court, the shops managed by Xuerong Liang, there are many things that require Xie Yunshu to make decisions.

As for the ranch in Zhangjiakou, although Manager Tang has passed away, I don’t know what will happen next. If you want money or people, you have to make an appointment with Mr. Xia so that he can have someone to connect with him.

Xie Yunshu was speechless for a while when she heard someone from her family talking about this.

This Mrs. Ji Er's idea is too different.

However, since this was something both my grandmother and mother agreed to, she naturally would not refuse.

The guarantee Mrs. Ji Er wants may not be completely satisfactory to her. But the matter must eventually come to an end.

Two days later, Xie Yunshu went to Pingbei Hou Mansion and met Mrs. Ji Er.

The request made by Mrs. Ji Er was indeed unacceptable. She wanted Xie Yunshu to ensure that her son would become a Jinshi and then at least a Bachelor of Confucian Studies in the Hanlin Academy. Within two years, he would have the opportunity to appear in front of the emperor to lecture on Confucian classics. In the next two years, one must join the Ministry of Household Affairs or the Ministry of Personnel. Within five years, one must become an official of at least the fourth grade.

Not to mention that Xie Yunshu was dumbfounded, even Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Su, who didn't know anything about the promotion and transfer of official positions in the court, knew that Mrs. Ji Er was like a lion with her mouth wide open.

Xie Yunshu rejected her immediately: "Mrs. Ji Er really thinks highly of me. I'm sorry, but this can't be done!"

Mrs. Ji Er sneered: "You are the ones who said it first. After breaking off the engagement, let me just say what I want to say. I don't want anything else. This is what I want."

Xie Yunshu smiled and said, "Mrs. Ji Er, I'm afraid even the emperor can't do your request. Isn't it a joke for you to embarrass us with something that even the emperor can't do?"

Mrs. Ji Er was unconvinced, "The Emperor is the lord of the world. Is there anything the Emperor can't do? Princess, please stop coaxing others!"

Xie Yunshu smiled and said: "If Mrs. Ji Er doesn't believe it, why not go back and ask your brother-in-law. He is an official of the imperial court. Naturally, he knows that promotion and transfer of officials are not done by just anyone. There is a set of rules and standards promulgated by the imperial court. , all officials must follow the rules!"

"This is an ordinary way, but you are the Crown Princess. To the Crown Prince, such a trivial matter is just a raise of a hand." "That is called selling one's official position, Mrs. Ji Er, the court found out that it was a quarrel. The grave crime of genocide! Are you crazy? I will pretend that I have never heard these words today! If you dare to talk nonsense again, you can try it!"

"Even if our two families have agreed to get married, my sister's health is really bad now, so the marriage must be canceled. If you absolutely don't want to, then just wait for ten or eight years! This can be said No! Our family will never tolerate a girl being wronged. Master Ling cannot create any concubines or concubine children, otherwise don’t blame our family for being rude!"

"If we divorce properly, it is our family's problem after all. The compensation will not be short of you. If you want money, we are willing to pay three thousand taels. If it is anything else, if Young Master Ling is really talented and learned, I will make sure that he will not be buried. He will get every opportunity he wants, provided he is worthy of it. What I say is the truth from my heart, and there is absolutely no intention of shirk or perfunctory. However, if you don’t believe it, I can’t think of it.”

"That's all the Xie family can do, Mrs. Ji Er, please think about it yourself!"

Mrs. Ji Er: "." She didn't want to think about it at all. The Crown Princess had already said everything, what else could she think about?

Even with the Crown Princess's attitude, she might not give in.

Mrs. Ji Er suddenly felt a little regretful. She would not have called the Crown Princess here if she had known it earlier. The Crown Princess made people feel a little scared when she spoke for no reason. She was so scared that she didn't dare to say what she originally wanted to say.

"Then, if you want money, give me money!"

She did want her son's future, but she felt that the Crown Princess's words were as good as those she had not said. What does it mean that as long as you are really talented and learn to keep it, it will not be buried? Her son is naturally very talented. Her brother-in-law is the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture and is also a member of the court. Won't he take care of her son then? Where is the use of such a useless guarantee from the Crown Princess?

It's better to have money that's affordable.

Three thousand taels

Mrs. Ji Er couldn't help but get excited again thinking about such a large sum of money.

Even if someone else's family breaks off an engagement, they don't give that much compensation. At most, it's only a few dozen taels. No matter how rich the family is, a few hundred taels would be great.

Three thousand taels. She is worthy of being a crown princess!

Mrs. Ji Er didn't know how to treat Xie Yunshu for a while.

When Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Su heard this, their hearts skipped a beat, and they suddenly felt heartache.

Three thousand taels

Shu'er, this is too generous!

Xie Yunshu had no objection at all, and immediately ordered An Tong to take out three thousand-tael silver notes and a piece of paper written in black and white, and smiled slightly: "Mrs. Ji Er pressed her fingerprints and took this banknote. It will be convenient for both of us." Who do I owe it to? There are two copies of this receipt, one for each of our families."

Mrs. Ji Er also knew a few words. She frowned slightly and took the receipt and looked at it.

He didn't say anything excessive, he just explained the reasons why both parties broke off the engagement, and the Xie family gave three thousand taels of silver to apologize.

Mrs. Ji Er was a little reluctant. She just had to write down the reasons for the divorce. Why did she also write down the three thousand taels of silver? It seems like she is very greedy

It just makes people feel very awkward.

Xie Yunshu guessed what she was thinking and said with a smile: "Mrs. Ji Er, this is three thousand taels of silver, not three hundred taels or thirty taels. Although our Xie family is willing to give it, there must be someone." Explain where you are going? Isn't this too much? Besides, if you have this written note in your hand, no one can show it to others. It's just that we both know each other. If everything goes well in the future, this written note will not be visible to outsiders. "
