Mother Wang offered a suggestion: "Since you say your son and Ji Shanfang are a match made in heaven, and now the Emperor has bestowed a marriage decree upon them, wouldn't the Jia Estate be too afraid not to release her even if you don't pay this one-hundred-thousand-tael bride price?"
Ji Shanfang waved her hand. "Mother Wang, that is not the same thing. Since the Jia Estate is asking for this one-hundred-thousand-tael bride price, they must have their reasons."
Then, gritting her teeth, Ji Shanfang said, "Very well, I must trouble Mother Wang. We will gather this one-hundred-thousand-tael bride price as quickly as possible. Once we have it, we will choose an auspicious day."
