Chapter 245: Chapter 247: Big Brother, He’s Changed

The voice stunned the Princess Consort Shun, who was in a fit of anger.

Princess Mingxia, kneeling on the ground, had tears blurring her vision. Through the hazy mist, she saw a cold and ruthless man in a wheelchair entering the room.

Upon seeing Dugu Wu, Princess Consort Shun still refused to put down the family discipline stick in her hand.

Ever since she saw Dugu Wu give an entire Duke An’s Mansion to Feng Bailing as a dowry, a choking frustration remained stuck in Princess Consort Shun’s throat.

That was the money from Prince Shun’s Mansion, and this prodigal son didn’t even blink an eye before giving it away.

What’s worse, Housekeeper Zhu said that it was the Prince’s private property, and even she, as the matriarch of the house, had no say in it.

She may have no say over the money, but she was determined to have a say in her daughter’s marriage.

The Seventh Prince is the most favored prince, and his mother, Noble Princess Consort Xiao, comes from a very wealthy family. If she were to marry Dongfang Li, surely the betrothal gifts couldn’t be lesser than a Duke An’s Mansion, right?

"You say no marriage? Matrimony is decided by matchmakers’ words and the commands of parents. Her father, the King, died early. I am her Queen Mother, and if I say she marries, then she marries. Besides, what’s wrong with the Seventh Prince? He is young and promising, and even if he can’t ascend to the throne, he may well earn honors on the battlefield in the future."

"Dongfang Li has already damaged his Pure Yang Qi. Unless there is a reversal of fate, he will never be able to condense a martial arts seal in this lifetime. A man, so easily manipulated by a woman and oblivious to it, do you truly believe that by climbing up with him, she could reach a higher branch?"

Feng Bailing gave a cold snort.

"Is that true? The Seventh Prince has injured his what? He is not impotent, is he?"

Princess Consort Shun was greatly shocked.

Ever since Feng Bailing cured Princess Mingxia’s throat, Princess Consort Shun recognized her medical skill.

"Are you suggesting that the legitimate daughter of Prince Shun’s Mansion serve Dongfang Li alongside some unrecognized concubine daughter? Dongfang likes women who are nothing like Princess Mingxia."

Princess Consort Shun was rendered speechless by what Feng Bailing said.

"Besides, I have heard that cousins are not allowed to marry; marrying so would easily result in imbecilic offspring."

Feng Bailing spoke earnestly.

"You and Dugu Wu are also cousins, and I see nothing wrong with the children you bore."

Princess Consort Shun pondered. Feng Xiaoli was really quite clever, far smarter than her own Dongfang Chun.

"The relationship between cousins like us and blood-related cousins is different."

Dugu Wu raised an eyebrow, seeing Feng Bailing explain earnestly, his lips curved into a slight smile.

"Princess Consort Shun, Ms. Feng only received a few hundred taels of dowry. When she was promoted to a concubine, her dowry was not increased. Moreover, I have heard that the Seventh Prince and Noble Princess Consort Xiao’s territories have to make up for a large amount of unpaid taxes; they may not be able to afford much for a dowry."

"That little? My Mingxia, just the cost of learning the zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, and her various silks and jade meals, is far beyond that amount. I won’t do a loss-making deal!"

Upon hearing this, Princess Consort Shun was dumbfounded.

Princess Mingxia looked on with surprise and glanced at Dugu Wu.

This was the first time Big Brother spoke up for her.

"If the Princess Consort could think clearly, that would be best. This marriage is a loss in both reputation and benefits."

"But I’ve mentioned this marriage several times to the Empress Dowager, and she has already agreed."

Princess Consort Shun was both angry and anxious.

"Regarding the Empress Dowager, I will explain. Just say Mingxia has fallen ill, needs proper rest, and is temporarily unsuitable for marriage. As for Yuxiu Academy, she also does not need to attend for the time being."

Dugu Wu said in a deep voice.

Princess Mingxia has a soft heart; if she continues studying at Yuxiu Academy, she will inevitably have to see Dongfang Li again. It is better to let her cut off all hope completely.

In her heart, Princess Mingxia was silently grateful.

Princess Consort Shun, feeling restless and annoyed, waved her hand to have the nanny take Princess Mingxia back to her room.

Feng Bailing listened on the side and couldn’t help but secretly admire Dugu Wu’s methods.

Strike the snake at its vital point; for people like Princess Consort Shun, you can only target their money and reputation.

"Big Brother... thank you."

Outside Chuyu Courtyard, Princess Mingxia gathered her courage, walked up, and bowed to Dugu Wu.

This address as "Big Brother" took Dugu Wu by surprise.

In all these years at Prince Manor, those so-called half-brothers and sisters never called him that.

Dugu Wu nodded slightly.

Watching the receding figures of Feng Bailing and Dugu Wu, Princess Mingxia suddenly felt envious. The way they had helped her just now, exchanging words, seemed so in sync.

Ever since Big Sister-In-Law married into the family, Big Brother had changed quite a bit. She hoped that the two of them could continue to be happy together.
