Ying Nanyao stared blankly at the two pink sedan chairs, a bad premonition growing stronger in his heart.

Old Lady Liu stepped down from the carriage and looked at Shangguan Tang suspiciously. "Shangguan Tang, are you really that magnanimous to allow Nan Yao to take a concubine?"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Tang laughed heartily, "Look at what you're saying, Madam. I, Shangguan Tang, have always been generous. If I weren't, how could I have spent nearly three million taels of silver on the Marquis's mansion over the years?"

The onlookers gasped in shock.

Three million taels of silver is almost equivalent to half a year's harvest in the national treasury.

How extravagant must the Weiyuan Marquis's mansion have been in the past!

Despite their envy, no one dared to question it, because everyone knew that Shangguan Tang was like a goddess of wealth, and her dowry was far more than three million taels.

The Mu family, the richest family in the country, contributes silver to the national treasury every year, so even if others want to criticize the Mu family for being extravagant, they have no reason to do so.

They gave money to the national treasury, and quite a lot of it, so what's wrong with giving their daughter a larger dowry?

Who can blame them when they have so much money?

Old Lady Liu's face stiffened, and she scolded, "Shangguan Tang, why are you bringing up money for no reason? What is the background of these two concubines?"

"Shangguan Tang, let me tell you, not just any woman can enter our Earl's mansion. It's not impossible for these two concubines to enter, but each of them must pay an entry fee of thirty thousand taels!"

The crowd watching the spectacle gasped in surprise once again.

A concubine has to pay a 30,000 tael entry fee to enter the household?

Is the threshold of the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion really that high? They must be desperate for money!

Shangguan Tang smiled slightly, not arguing with her, but revealing a mysterious smile: "Don't worry, Madam, these two concubines are the Marquis's darlings. Even if he asked for a dowry of 30,000 taels from the Marquis of Weiyuan, let alone a marriage decree of 30,000 taels, the Marquis of Weiyuan would be willing to pay it!"

When Old Lady Liu heard that they were going to ask for money from the Earl's Mansion, she immediately became unhappy.

At this moment, Liu Xueyan also got out of the carriage. Supported by her maid Biliu, she walked forward with a stiff and unpleasant expression.

"Sister-in-law, what do you mean by this? Why did you suddenly bring a concubine into the family for my second brother?"

Liu Xueyan was filled with resentment. Ying Nanyao had never taken a concubine in all these years, not even a maidservant.

Shangguan Tang was not favored, and she was almost always alone.

But now, Shangguan Tang is actually taking a concubine for Ying Nanyao?

She looked at Ying Nanyao with teary eyes, her gaze filled with resentment.

"Second brother, are you really going to take a concubine?"

Everyone could clearly hear the sourness in her tone.

Ying Nanyao quickly replied, "How could that be? It was all Shangguan Tang's own decision. I will never take a concubine in this lifetime."

He looked at Liu Xueyan with deep affection and said.

Liu Xueyan's expression softened slightly, and she turned to look at Shangguan Tang, "Sister-in-law, did you hear that? The Marquis refuses to accept..."

A low growl, like that of a wild beast, suddenly came from the sedan chair.

Immediately afterwards, the shaky sedan chair suddenly began to shake violently.

It looked as if some wild beast was struggling inside.

Everyone was stunned.

Then, the grunts of wild boars came from inside.

Ying Nanyao's expression changed instantly. His eyes were fixed on the sedan chair, his mind wandering. Ruyan, it was Ruyan!

Even Ruyan's voice is so beautiful.

He couldn't help but slide his wheelchair toward the pink sedan chair.

Seeing this, Liu Xueyan's face turned pale for a moment, and she couldn't help but call out, "Second brother..."

Ying Nanyao completely ignored her, as if he hadn't heard her words, and pushed her away.

"How could this be?" Liu Xueyan's face turned pale.

Could it be true, as Shangguan Tang said, that Ying Nanyao has really found a new love?

Old Lady Liu also watched with a sullen face as Ying Nanyao approached the sedan chair.

They were all unaware of the love potion.

"How could that be? Second Uncle and Mother have always been loving and affectionate. How could Second Uncle take a fancy to another woman and want to bring her into the household?"

Ying Hengzhi nestled beside the Second Prince, biting her lip gently, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Ying Chengting frowned. "The love potion was stolen by Ying Yufu. What she gave to my father was the offspring potion. The mother potion... perhaps she gave it to another woman."

Ying Nanyao found it difficult to talk about the fact that the mother Gu had been placed on a wild boar. The Ying family only knew that the love Gu had been stolen, but they were unaware of the wild boar incident.

So at this moment, they had no idea that the thing inside the sedan chair wasn't a person at all.

"Cheng Ting, if the mother Gu was really contracted by another woman, then your second uncle..."

A very bad premonition rose in Liu Xueyan's heart.

Ying Chengting's expression was solemn: "Second Uncle has fallen in love with a woman who possesses the Mother Gu, and he can no longer see anyone else in his heart."

Liu Xueyan's face turned even uglier.

Old Liu also overheard their conversation, and her expression turned even more unpleasant.

They're all vixens! They don't want any vixens in the house!

"Nan Yao, don't lift the sedan curtain! Don't look at her!"

Old Liu roared angrily, "Shangguan Tang, take them all away! Take them away!"

Ying Hengzhi still couldn't believe it. "Fu'er actually gave the mother Gu to another woman, and she didn't even give it to Second Aunt!"

The second prince's expression also turned serious.

Seeing that no one moved, Old Lady Liu was about to step forward and pull Ying Nanyao away.

Just then, the sedan chair suddenly trembled and shook violently before finally falling apart, revealing the true face of the 'fox spirit' inside to everyone.

It turned out to be a wild beast that was bound hand and foot.

Those terrifying eyes and sharp fangs instantly took everyone's breath away.

Wild boar!

Everyone looked terrified.

How could it be a wild boar?

Old Lady Liu realized what was happening and glared angrily at Shangguan Tang.

"Shangguan Tang, how dare you send wild boar here? Are you trying to kill our whole family?"

"Heavens above! My daughter-in-law is trying to kill my whole family! Everyone, please come and judge this! I'm going to take this to His Majesty!"

Old Liu let out a series of wailing and howling.

"Like smoke!"

Amidst Old Liu's wailing, Ying Nanyao affectionately called out the wild boar's name.

Old Liu's wailing stopped abruptly.

She maintained her wailing expression, staring blankly at Ying Nanyao.

From her angle, she could see the intensely affectionate gaze Ying Nanyao gave the pig.

Old Liu suddenly shivered.

At this moment, the air became completely still.

Only Ying Chengting seemed to understand something; his expression turned horrified, and he was about to step forward to stop Ying Nanyao.

But he lifted his foot, and it wouldn't budge.

He instinctively felt something pressing on his shoulder, and when he turned his head, he saw Ying Yufu's hand on his shoulder.

A hint of urgency flashed in his eyes, and he moved again.

I still couldn't move.

Ying Yufu's hand felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.

A flicker of disbelief crossed Ying Chengting's eyes. He growled urgently, "Ying Yufu, let me go! We can't let Second Uncle get near that wild boar!"

"Why not?" Ying Yufu blinked and asked innocently.

Why ask?

Ying Chengting's face was contorted with rage.

"If word gets out that Father and the wild boar... the entire Weiyuan Marquis's mansion will be doomed!"

The imperial court would never accept a minister who had taken a liking to a wild boar!

Without a doubt, even the Earl couldn't be saved!

They will also bear a bad reputation and become a laughing stock for everyone.
