Feng Family’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, but she didn’t join in the conversation, merely watching the other party.
"Although the Yang Family has divided, Yang Dani is still a granddaughter of the Yang Family," Yang Anshi said, seeing that Feng Family didn’t respond and feeling somewhat embarrassed, but she didn’t care in the slightest. "Nowadays, she’s often seen sneaking into the woods with your second son. Such gossip isn’t pleasant to hear, after all, the Yang Family still has many young ladies."
Gu Yao’s face immediately turned ugly, "Old hag, what are you talking about?"
"Is something wrong?" Yang Anshi lifted her eyelid slightly, "I never imagined you could commit such a scandalous act. However, we won’t quibble over this. Since Dani has reached the marriageable age, I will step forward to settle this matter for you. Once it is arranged, you can be together openly in the woods, and no one will say a thing..."
Gu Yao immediately looked towards Gu Qingheng, wondering what kind of situation this was. Would his elder brother blame him?
"Exactly," Feng Caie chimed in with a laugh, "It’ll be a happy occasion. Once you’re betrothed, you can do whatever you want without anyone commenting..." Then she glanced at Gu Yao, "When the time comes, don’t forget to show some gratitude to us. It doesn’t have to be much, a wild chicken a day will suffice..."
Gu Yao was almost amused to anger.
Gu Qingheng, on the other hand, remained calm and even curled the corner of his mouth slightly, "You must have come to talk about the dowry. How much are you expecting?"
Gu Yao frowned at once, but seeing the contempt on Gu Qingheng’s face, he held his tongue.
"See, the Boss knows the score," Feng Caie laughed exaggeratedly. "Understanding so much for his brother..." She paused, "As it should be, since you’ve ruined yourself. In the future, you’ll have to rely on your younger brother and sister to take care of you. You should be more enthusiastic now, otherwise, you might end up living a miserable life..."
"You..." Gu Yao’s complexion darkened, hating when others spoke ill of his elder brother.
But Gu Qingheng raised his hand to stop him, instead nodding with a smile, "It seems there’s some truth to it. So tell me, how much dowry do you intend to demand?"
Feng Caie quickly looked at Yang Anshi with shining eyes.
Yang Anshi started to hesitate; she was afraid of asking for too little.
"Sixty-six Silver," Yang Baihe quickly spoke up, worried that her mother would ask for too little. "Six-six brings great luck; it’s an auspicious sign..."
"Right, let’s settle for sixty-six Silver," Yang Anshi waved her hand dismissively. "As for the rest, we’ll just follow the usual customs."
"The price doesn’t seem too high..."
"We are straightforward people; we won’t ask for something exorbitant. Let’s get the Silver quickly; once you have it, you can do whatever you want." Upon hearing Gu Qingheng’s words, Feng Caie couldn’t wait for him to finish, stretching her hand towards Feng Family, "Look at us, we both carry the Feng surname; perhaps we were from the same family many years ago. After this, we will be even closer relatives, right? Hurry up and see what goodies you have at home to drink and eat. Just bring them out, and we’ll take them with us, saving Gu Yao the trouble of delivering them later..."
"Hehe..." Before Gu Qingheng could speak again, Feng Family was already provoked to laughter. She had seen all kinds of shameless people in her life, but even the most shameless and vicious had a smooth exterior. This was the first time she had personally encountered someone as straightforward in their shamelessness as the women of the Yang Family.
