The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

Shi Wanzhen hesitated for a while, looked at her niece, and mustered up the courage to ask, "You said that day that if a woman was divorced and returned home, the Marquis' Mansion would accept her. Does it still count?"

Now that the family has been divided, where can she go if she returns? Who will accept her?

Shi Anxia walked down the stairs, pushed open the gate and walked out, standing opposite her, and said seriously, "Aunt, the Marquis's Mansion is your foundation. Although it is a separation, as long as you think clearly about the future, your uncle and aunt will make arrangements. All the dowry you brought back will belong to you."

Shi Wanzhen lowered her head in embarrassment, "I, I may not be able to bring back the dowry."

Shi Anxia thought she was afraid that the Song prince would not give it to her. "If the Bo family wants to deny you the dowry, I will personally bring people to help you get it back. If the matter gets out of hand, and the Bo family embezzles the woman's dowry, let's see how he can survive in the capital."

Shi Wanzhen was even more embarrassed. "No, it's not embezzlement, it's, it's..."

She couldn't speak anymore.

Shi Anxia looked at her indescribable expression and frowned, "You didn't take the initiative to hand over the dowry to him, did you?"

Shi Wanzhen's tears fell like pearls from a broken string. Moreover, she sold her dowry and happily handed the silver to Song Shizi, and she was very happy at that time.

She whimpered and told Shi Anxia the truth, but once she started talking, she couldn't stop.

Shi Anxia's face darkened when she heard this, "Although my grandmother is confused, she is very good at managing money! How could she raise someone like you..." If she had not respected the elders in the past, she would have called Shi Wanzhen a fool.

Shi Wanzhen said, "I was stupid! The prince told me that he wanted to buy an official position, so I sold all my dowry to give him the money. But I didn't get the official position back, and the number of concubines and maids in the harem increased."

As there were more women in the harem, the phenomenon of competing for favor began to emerge.

What does she have to fight for? Isn't it just money?

Every time she, the mistress of the courtyard, wanted to invite the prince of Song to have a meal or sleep over, she had to prepare enough money. Otherwise, the prince of Song would be very unhappy and turn his face away from her.

Shi Wanzhen didn't consider Shi Anxia as an outsider at all, and didn't care that she hadn't reached the age of marriage yet. She felt that she couldn't help speaking out her heart, and once she did, she realized that Prince Song was even worse than her brother!

Her brother Shi Chengxuan at most liked to brag and drink outside, and the concubines he brought back were all good girls.

Prince Song didn't care. As long as she was pretty, he would pamper her to no end, even if she was a prostitute.

The Prince of Song often indulges in lust during the day and would moan loudly several times in an afternoon.

This caused her children to always ask why there were always ghost cries coming from the aunt's courtyard?

At first she didn’t understand what ghost screams were, and she followed her children to quietly listen. The result... was really embarrassing for her ancestors!

Shi Anxia saw that Shi Wanzhen began to daydream, so she asked, "Did Prince Song ask you to go back?"

Shi Wanzhen nodded and said, "When I won the second place in the Golden Luan Test, Prince Song sent someone to take me home. But I was afraid, so I didn't agree."

Shi Anxia smiled coolly, "It seems that Prince Song has the capital to brag outside recently. He must be talking about how great his first wife's nephew is. Aunt, think clearly whether you want to divorce completely. If you want to divorce, we will start to arrange it, but you can't turn back. If you don't want to divorce, just go back and be tough."

"I don't know either." Shi Wanzhen lowered her head, not daring to look at her niece.

She asked this question because she was panicking after the family was divided.

Shi Anxia said, "Then think about it carefully and make it clear before you speak. You can still live in your current yard. My uncle and aunt will not drive you away, but you will lose your share."

There is no share! Shi Wanzhen's face was bitter, her heart was panicking, and she felt that her life was hopeless.

Shi Anxia couldn't help but laugh, "Speaking of which, in this aristocratic family in the capital, how many married women have you seen asking for a share of the allowance after returning to their parents' home? You are the only exception. If it gets out, people will laugh at you. In this regard, grandma really spoils you and your aunt. No wonder the elders have always said that our mansion has no rules."

Shi Wanzhen cried, "How can I live without my share?"

Shi Anxia said, "If you come back after the divorce and can't bring back a dowry, you'll have to work hard with your own hands to earn money to support yourself."

Shi Wanzhen's voice suddenly became louder. "You still have to earn money to support yourself?"

"What else?" Shi Anxia saw the light in Shi Wanzhen's eyes gradually dim, and knew that she had made up her mind, but she still wanted to say a few more words, "My Yunqi Academy will offer needlework, dressmaking, and other craft classes, you can learn. At worst, as the mistress, you can always read the account books and do the math, are you afraid that you can't support yourself?"

Shi Wanzhen lowered her head, not daring to look at Shi Anxia, ​​"I understand."

Bei Hui handed the food box to Shi Wanzhen, "Little aunt, please take it."

Shi Wanzhen took the food box, thanked him, and hurried away.

Bei Hui put a cape on the girl and said, "It's so cold. It's probably useless to say so much to her when she's standing here in the cold wind."

Shi Anxia sighed and turned back, "Actually, I didn't tell her that there was still some silver in my grandmother's private vault, which was not touched when the family was divided. It was just left there to leave a way out for these daughters who married out."

Bei Hui held her side with her hands, "Why don't you tell her?"

Shi Anxia was silent for a while, then looked up at the dark night sky and said slowly, "In the end, one has to rely on oneself. I always think that no matter whether a man or a woman, one must have a skill to rely on. Only in this way can one truly redeem oneself."

Bei Hui shook her head. "The young lady will never understand the young lady's painstaking efforts. I'm afraid she only thinks that she can be supported by the mansion when she returns, and be served by a bunch of maids, and do nothing herself."

"The only one who can truly not work is living on a tablet." Shi Anxia walked into the house and sat down, taking the hot water bottle handed to her by Nan Yan.

It’s still chilly in spring.

She said gently, "There are thousands of ways out, and each way is a different life. As the saying goes, one must face death before he can survive. Choosing to divorce when there is no way out shows that my aunt has really thought it through. Only by making up her mind to divorce can she keep her original intention. Otherwise, her return... will only cause trouble for my aunt."

Bei Hui smiled, "Young lady, you think long-term, but I can't think that much. I just think that there are thousands of roads, and I only choose one, which is to follow you. Wherever you go, I will go, and we will never be separated for the rest of our lives."

Shi Anxia was stunned, her nose felt sore, her eyes were wet, but she smiled, "No, Beihui, in this life, I will make sure you all live a good life. Having your own home, your own children, and a considerate husband is a perfect life."

Bei Hui shook her head stubbornly. "The world is difficult. Bei Hui's life will be complete only if I stay with the girl. Since I met the girl, Bei Hui has been living the best life."

Shi Anxia was thinking that there were always a few good subordinates of Cen Yuan. If she could pick a few of them to match with, they would be by her side and have a family. Wouldn't that be perfect?

She really didn't want to live a life of superiority in her life. She just wanted to live a peaceful life and watch the people around her get along well. She raised her head and called out, "Nan Yan, are you still in contact with that Chen Jinfu?"
