As for Beiming Yi, although he gets a cold shoulder and sits idly every time he enters the valley, touching his bulging status, he feels it’s all worth it.

When Shui Yixuan finally delivered the last payment to Prince Yi’s Mansion, Beiming Yi warmly invited him to sit down for a drink.

"With one million gold taels credited, do you feel like your spine is armored with gold?"

Shui Yixuan’s sarcastic tone didn’t make Beiming Yi feel embarrassed.

"Who told you to be so slow? One million gold taels, if not for this opportunity, where would I find so much Silver to fill the soon-to-be empty national treasury? But your future father-in-law is so willing to cooperate, I think Lanyue Country’s treasury must also be struggling, otherwise why would he risk being hated by his precious daughter to collaborate with me? This transaction is equivalent to you exchanging two million gold taels for a temperamental beauty who is difficult to deal with. Anyway, I’m not blessed to enjoy it. You’ve seen how harshly she used medicine on me with resentment recently, thank goodness I didn’t marry her. This blessing, you enjoy it yourself!"

"Giving to Lanyue is only right, consider it a betrothal gift, but what are you worth? For no reason, you cheated me out of one million gold taels. Beiming Yi, do you think the money of the Shui Clan is easy to earn?"

Beiming Yi pursed his lips: "I talked to you several times before, but you refused to cooperate with the Royal Family. Depending solely on the taxes your Shui Clan offers each year, how long will it take to fill the national treasury’s deficit? There’s no other way; if you hadn’t made it so evident, I wouldn’t have used this tactic. I was forced by you, so you can’t blame me. At least now the person is yours, while I married a woman I’ve never even seen. From any angle, my sacrifice is the greatest!"

Shui Yixuan was furious, only blaming himself for not thinking in this direction, and they didn’t carefully check what was written in the royal edict. In fact, it didn’t mention the Sixth Princess Murong Xue at all, nor the name of Princess Yunxi, only the Lanyue X Princess, and this X was left blank. If anyone careful had looked, they wouldn’t have been deceived so badly.

Even Murong Han said there was something off about it, because the person who used to keep his little sister at the forefront now seemed so indifferent?

It turns out he was also one of the insiders from beginning to end? For Lanyue, this father and son truly had no bottom line!

Poor him, losing two million gold taels in an instant, gold! 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

However, the most pitiful should be Murong Xue; she was kept in the dark from start to finish, although the process was infuriating, the result must be said, he was very satisfied. Money can be earned again, finding a reliable partner, however, is not easy.

"Fortunately you married before me, otherwise I would be worried sick guarding against you. Seriously, you weren’t secretly moved by my Xue’er?"

Beiming Yi glanced sideways: "Such a beautiful woman in front of you, what man wouldn’t be moved? Being moved is one thing, but she’s a bit poisonous. If I upset her, I might end up poisoned, not even knowing how I died one day. Such a poisonous beauty, I’m not blessed to enjoy."

Shui Yixuan chuckled at that: "You know? My Xue’er said the same thing; a forced melon is not sweet. If you really take her back, out of revenge, she might truly give you chronic poison, let you die early, and lose the inheritance of the throne, even threaten your entire lineage."

Beiming Yi felt a chill down his spine, incredulously looking at Shui Yixuan: "Really? You’re not kidding me, are you?"

"If I’m lying, I’m a turtle’s grandson. I’m not so idle to deceive you, she truly said it, you should be grateful to me for saving you."

Beiming Yi rubbed his chilly neck: "My heavens, this little girl dares to say anything, why aren’t you afraid at all? Someday if she finds out the truth..."

"What if she finds out the truth? Don’t threaten me with that, I’m telling you, I’m not falling for it anymore. Anyway, I exchanged two million gold taels for her future, even if she hates, it’s you and my unreliable father-in-law she’ll hate, at least not me. So you’re overthinking it. Okay, we’re all square now, wishing you and Little Xue’s cooperation, haha, smooth sailing!"
