Chapter 1302 The Divorced Merchant's Daughter 24
After this incident, none of the masters of the Prince's mansion could sleep all night.
The next day, just as the Regent's wife was wondering how to visit the Shu residence to talk about Qi Ye, people from the Shu residence arrived.
The person who arrived was none other than the "experienced" Ming Yanning.
Having already helped Shu Jiao find countless handsome men in Jiangnan, Ming Yanning was a seasoned veteran. Arriving at the Regent's Palace, she showed no fear and greeted him with a smile, offering her compliments first.
He then hinted that a formal title was not possible.
but!
Our employer is very generous; they will definitely provide ample compensation.
Before the Regent's wife and Qi Ye could speak, Ming Yanning began to "list the dishes".
"Ten luminous pearls; one box each of blue, purple, red, green... gemstones..."
"Agarwood, one box; Ambergris, one box; Storax, one box..."
"Ten four-foot-tall redwood trees; sixty layers of exquisite ivory spheres... a tortoiseshell screen..."
Regent's Wife: !!!
Qi Ye: !!!
The mother and son exchanged a glance, their minds becoming increasingly confused as they listened.
Then I saw the boxes being slowly moved into the courtyard, each one opened to reveal glittering jewels and dazzling brilliance.
"Ye'er..."
The Regent's wife swallowed hard. "Well, you should hurry to the Shu residence. Don't keep my good son-in-law waiting too long. Her feelings for you are definitely genuine!"
Guaranteed authentic!
儿~
It's not that your mother doesn't love you, nor is it that your mother is uncultured.
Shu Jiao really gave so much!
It's no exaggeration to say that even if you combined all the treasures in the Regent's Palace and the Imperial Palace's private treasury, they wouldn't amount to as much as this pile of "bride price" before her.
Let’s not talk about anything else.
There are no more than three of these top-quality luminous pearls in the entire palace, and only one in the Regent's Palace.
At this moment, ten were placed in front of her.
Ten!
And these several large boxes of gems...
The Regent's wife almost shed tears as she looked at him. "Ye'er, it wasn't easy for your mother to give birth to such a beautiful child. How about giving your mother a share of your dowry?"
"All right,"
Thinking of how good his mother had been to him in the past, Qi Ye nodded, "I'll give you 30%, my eldest brother 10%, and my father 10%."
He wanted to take the rest with him.
This is the treasure he obtained by selling himself!
“Your father doesn’t need it, so he can give it to your mother.”
"The Regent's wife said."
"Young Master Qi, there's no need for this,"
Ming Yanning chuckled as she listened to the conversation between the mother and son. "These betrothal gifts are all for the Prince's mansion. Once you're in the mansion, there will be even better things waiting for you."
what?
and also!
Without saying a word, Qi Ye turned around and went back to his own yard, where he packed a few small boxes. "Let's go, let's not waste any more time."
His darling, he's here!!!
Ming Yanning nodded with a smile, "Your Highness, then I will take the young master and leave first."
"Row."
The Regent's wife nodded readily and even took two steps to see him off. "Ye'er, listen to your mother. Be obedient and good to your daughter when you go there. You have a sweet tongue, so try to win over my son-in-law..."
"Your mother gave you this beautiful face, so make good use of it. Trust me, few women can resist the allure of beauty..."
Shu Jiao is really rich.
How can someone be this rich?!
Even the Regent's wife envied her son. If she were younger, she would want to shout it out too—
"Sister, I can do it!"
Qi Ye nodded vigorously and followed Ming Yanning to the Shu residence at top speed.
Shu Jiao sat on the veranda, her face, which looked like that of a young woman in her late teens, glowing golden in the sunlight.
Recalling the situation in his father's backyard, Qi Ye's extremely handsome face immediately broke into a smile, and he headed straight for Shu Jiao.
The boy's voice carried a hint of arrogance and unrestrainedness, with a free and unrestrained charm.
"Shu...Jiaojiao~"
He called out and then took Shu Jiao's hand.
Shu Jiao couldn't help but chuckle, pinching his fingertips and looking down at his nails, which seemed to have a hint of pink, as if he were born to be a pampered peony.
Why didn't you stay home a couple more days?
Shu Jiao asked with a smile.
"Staying at home is boring."
Qi Ye sat down next to Shu Jiao.
Having been nurtured by the Prince's Mansion for many years and having some knowledge ingrained in his mind, Qi Ye wasn't in a hurry and sat quietly chatting with Shu Jiao.
As they chatted, they became more relaxed.
He leaned lazily against Shu Jiao, his fingertips twirling the openwork auspicious cloud pendant made of Hetian white jade tied around her waist, and casually asked, "Do you have a wife on Miro Island?"
"According to our local customs, next time you go back, do I have to go and offer him tea?"
"No."
Shu Jiao smiled and said, "If you'd like to come back with me for a few days, that's fine too."
No!
Qi Ye was taken aback, then his mood improved even more. "That's good."
Otherwise, he would have to keep pestering Shu Jiao.
He doesn't want to serve tea to others.
"Is it a place where women are revered?"
Qi Ye asked curiously again.
He felt that Shu Jiao's behavior and the way her subordinates were used to it were clearly different from Daxing's.
“It’s not about respecting women, it’s about respecting me.”
Shu Jiao smiled slightly, "The people on the island, regardless of gender, value ability above all else. As long as you have the ability, whether you are a man or a woman, you can raise a hundred or eighty."
One hundred or two hundred?!
This……
I doubt anyone, male or female, could handle it.
Qi Ye was stunned for a moment, and then, thinking of her words, he couldn't help but wonder what kind of place it was.
As we were chatting, Shu Xi arrived.
Upon seeing the handsome Qi Ye, she laughed and greeted him warmly, "Mother, Father, good morning."
Another handsome young dad!
My mother has such excellent taste!
Will she ever meet a man as handsome as her stepfather in the future?
I really want to raise one.
She could have ten or eight!
Qi Ye: ……
After a moment of silence, he waved his hand. "You must be Xi'er. You look just like Jiao Jiao."
Thinking it over, he took out a gourd pendant that he had prepared beforehand and handed it to Shu Xi, saying, "This is a gift for you."
Upon hearing this, Shu Xi glanced at Shu Jiao first, and only accepted the gift after seeing her nod. "Mother, I came to see the teacher, so I'll go with him to get back to work."
Shu Xi took Ming Yanning away.
Shu Jiao had nothing else to do, so after thinking about Qi Ye's hobbies, she led him to the warehouse.
Immediately, Qi Ye's eyes lit up when he looked at her.
However, since their relationship wasn't officially confirmed, he was too embarrassed to ask for it. He dawdled until dark, then pulled Shu Jiao inside.
So enthusiastic!
His appearance was as intense and passionate as his features.
The peony, in its prime, bloomed gracefully and freely in the flickering candlelight, and the gentle breeze passing by the window could faintly hear the soft sound of the flower opening.
Qi Ye's already rouge-colored eyes turned even redder.
Young and inexperienced.
Yet it is exceptionally alluring.
Shu Jiao was very happy.
Qi Ye was also very happy to see the room filled with rare and precious treasures the next day.
