Chapter 1944 - 1946
Only thinking about the positions of both sides, it becomes very tangled. Once Prince Zhuang turns the tables, he definitely won’t spare Prince Le. What will Dongxue do then?
Moreover, what Prince Le wants to do is completely contrary to them. Not to mention that Brother An and the others would oppose it, even she opposes it. Living a good life, yet insisting on throwing everyone into chaos—isn’t this madness?
And then there’s Prince Le’s illness!
Looking at it now, Prince Le’s power is indeed difficult to eliminate. The most straightforward way is to cure Prince Le’s illness, but will Dongxue accept that version of Prince Le then?
"Madam, Prince Le has sent gifts!" Ming Lan knocked on the door while Yang Chuxia was still tidying up.
"On my way!" Yang Chuxia placed the jewelry box neatly and opened the door to ask, "What did he send?"
"Engagement gifts and dowry!"
"..." Didn’t expect it to happen so quickly! "Where are the items? Let’s go take a look."
"Placed in the front courtyard."
They quickly arrived at the front courtyard, just as Ming Lan had said. Large and small boxes were placed on the ground, all tied with red silk flowers.
"Madam Ye, here is the list of gifts!" This time, it wasn’t Madam Li who came, but a nanny, "The prince wanted the old slave to inform Madam Ye that any missing items will be sent gradually."
"Alright, I understand." Receiving the gift list, it detailed an abundance of silks, jewels, paintings, and antiques, with nothing missing.
If these were peaceful times, even without regarding her as a concubine, this would be an enviable marriage. But now the future is unclear, and every matter is unpredictable.
Evil never prevails over good since ancient times. It seems to her that Prince Le’s end will not be favorable, and thinking of this makes her heart ache.
After people left, Yang Chuxia called for Ming Lan, "Send someone to East Alley to invite the granduncles."
Ever since the incident at Prince An’s Mansion, Yang Qingrui and the others moved out from Prince An’s Mansion to live in East Alley.
The plan was to send Yang Dayong and them back to the countryside, leaving only Yang Qingrui and his siblings, but Yang Dayong and the others are genuine people and feel they cannot leave at this time, even if they’re scared.
So, one by one, they stayed.
With this marriage arrangement, the watch on Prince An’s Mansion has loosened considerably. When Yang Qingrui and the others came, the people at the entrance not only didn’t stop them but also showed some flattery.
"Sister, what’s going on? The messenger said you wanted us here to discuss Dongxue’s marriage? Where did Dongxue’s marriage come from?"
As soon as he entered, Yang Qingtong impatiently asked.
"Early this morning, Madam Li came to propose for Prince Le, wanting Dongxue to be his secondary princess consort..." Yang Chuxia recounted the matter to both brothers and Yang Dayong.
After hearing it, Yang Qingrui didn’t find anything wrong.
"Sister, considering the current situation, this is the best solution. Otherwise, the nephews and nieces might really be in danger."
"Yes, there’s no other way. That’s why I called you; while there’s time, we should prepare her a generous dowry. Fourth uncle and aunt aren’t here, and while we couldn’t do much in other matters, we can’t let her suffer in terms of dowry. I’ll handle this, but I can’t go out, so I need you to do it."
"Alright, I’ll take care of this with Qingtong." After pausing, Yang Qingrui added, "Sister, don’t feel guilty about this. Usually, a secondary princess consort to the prince isn’t just any ordinary person; even a daughter of a regular official family might not qualify. Look at Prince Zhuang’s secondary princess consort; she’s a noble’s daughter. So right now, it’s not like we’re wronging Dongxue."
"Exactly, sister, there’s really no other way."
The two brothers said this, and even Yang Dongxue herself was willing, but she still felt that Yang Dongxue was dragged into this mess because of their issues.
