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

Chen Jikang couldn't believe it, "What do you mean?" So saving you ruined your business?

Cen Yuan was silent for a moment. "That's what you heard. I was waiting for the Luo family to come find me, but you took me away. We, the Luo family, came to nothing."

For all these years, he never mentioned this to Chen Jikang because he didn't want to waste the kindness of a kind-hearted person who wanted to save others.

The Chen family hired a doctor to treat his injuries and spent money to buy medicine for him... He couldn't be so heartless.

Otherwise, who in this world would be willing to lend a hand to others? Regardless of the outcome, Chen Jikang's original intention to save people was good.

Chen Jikang never expected this to be the truth, "I, I..."

There is no friendship to save my life? Then how can I continue this play?

No book outside would dare to write like this!

He didn't believe it! He thought it was all made up by Cen Yuan to deceive him.

Cen Yuan said calmly, "After I woke up, did I ask you, 'Is it snowing on Wangcang Mountain?' You answered me, 'Where is Wangcang Mountain?' At that time, I knew you were not sent by the Luo family. That's why I want to leave your Chen family."

Chen Jikang was stunned.

"As a result, I was injured and couldn't walk far, so you dragged me back again." Cen Yuan raised his eyes and looked at Chen Jikang, "I don't want to guess whether you think I am rich or noble because of the jade pendant on me, so you won't let me go..."

Chen Jikang was furious. "How could I think that? I just wanted to save you."

"Whether you are that simple or not, only you know it best." Cen Yuan never blamed Chen Jikang for this matter.

Chen Jikang looked pale, and when he met Cen Yuan's indifferent and dark eyes, he was surprisingly quiet.

He said, "So, you are going to treat our Chen family ruthlessly now?"

"You could have kept this self-righteous favor for your whole life." Cen Yuan raised her eyes and looked at Chen Jikang, "but you recklessly exhausted my patience. I reminded you once that day. But you didn't take it to heart. What made you think that you could stuff your daughter into my backyard? Yao's dirty mind, would she dare to do it without your instruction? You, I am very disappointed."

"Yuan'er, I was wrong, I was wrong..." Chen Jikang burst into tears, "I, I was thinking at that time that you and my daughters grew up together..."

"I have lived in your house for no more than three months. How can we say we grew up together?" Cen Yuan stood up. "Let's settle the accounts. I will directly deduct the money you deposited in the Luo family bank."

"Then, we..."

"There will be no 'us' anymore! Lord Chen, take care of yourself in the future." When Cen Yuan strode out of the hall, Chen Jikang felt like the sky was falling above his head.

In stark contrast to the Chen family's situation, the Jian'an Marquis Mansion has undergone earth-shaking changes in recent days.

First, after the bodies of Marquis Jian'an and his wife were kept for seven days, they were buried in the ancestral tomb.

As soon as the burial took place, Shi Chengyi came to the emperor and begged him to grant Shi Yunqi the title of crown prince. In short, Shi Chengyi gave the title to Shi Yunqi.

The eldest wife did not discuss this matter with anyone else. Cheng Yi and his wife and their two children made the decision themselves while locked in the room.

They all thought that it was most correct to give the title to Shi Yunqi.

Therefore, the position of the crown prince was given to Shi Yunqi first. After observing mourning for a year, he would automatically inherit the title.

Moreover, Shi Yunqi was deeply loved by the emperor, so it was possible that he did not need to be demoted and could directly inherit the title of Marquis Jian'an.

This is an unconventional practice. As long as the emperor approves it, others cannot say anything about it and it cannot be considered as violating the etiquette.

Shi Yunzhou was very ambitious at a young age. "Father, I will study hard and pass the imperial examination as soon as possible. I want to be a pillar of the Northern Wing like my brother Yunqi. Maybe when I make achievements, the emperor will be happy and confer a title on me, so father, don't feel sorry for me."

Now, after a spiritual baptism, the students of North Wing have ushered in a new trend and readjusted their goals.

Their purpose of passing the imperial examinations was not just to bring honor to their family, but more importantly to become the pillars of the northern wing.

Obviously, Shi Yunzhou was touched by this wind, which made him full of vigor and enthusiasm.

After experiencing the blow from the loss of his daughter Shi Anxin, Shi Chengyi attached great importance to the education and cultivation of his children's character.

He said seriously, "Everyone is born with his own mission. It's good if you work hard; it's even better if you can pass the imperial examination. You don't have to compare yourself with anyone. Life is not just about passing the imperial examination. There are many more meaningful things..."

When Shi Yunzhou heard this, he ran away in fear. "Father, you are preaching again. Only mother likes to listen. Mother likes to listen to whatever you say. But I don't like to listen. I'm leaving. It's better to read more books than to listen to your nagging."

"No rules!" Shi Chengyi scolded with a smile.

Watching his son running away, he felt that letting Shi Yunqi inherit the title was the right thing to do, and it could even motivate his son to make progress.

Emperor Mingde was already upset about Shi Yunqi's inability to take part in the palace examination, and he agreed to Shi Chengyi's request without much consideration.

On the day when the tribute candidates took part in the palace examination, an imperial edict was sent to the Mansion of Marquis Jian'an. Shi Yunqi was confused as he held the edict in his hands.

The prince! He actually became the prince!

He clearly doesn't want to be the crown prince!

What he didn't want was that Miss Wei would have to manage such a large mansion right after marrying in, before she could enjoy any blessings. It would be tiring for her.

Madam Shi had been trying every trick in the book to get something all her life, but in the end no one wanted it anymore.

Just like Yu Sujun joked to Shi Yunqi, "Your mother had a good idea, just throwing the household goods into my hands. Just wait and see how I throw them into your wife's hands!"

The Marquis's Mansion was finally harmonious.

At the same time, Emperor Mingde also issued two imperial edicts.

One is about Emperor Mingde adopting Princess Haiyan as his adopted daughter, and then Anxia officially became Princess Haiyan.

The other one was to grant marriage to Princess Haiyan, and her husband was naturally Cen Yuan. But the imperial edict was very subtle, with "Chen Yuan" written on the surface, and after soaking it in water, you can see that the hidden word inside the imperial edict should be "Cen Yuan".

In short, receiving imperial edicts every day in Jian'an Marquis Mansion is just like eating, and there are three meals a day.

The dignitaries in the capital knew that the Jian'an Marquis Mansion was at its peak.

On the other side, Shi Anrou was locked up.

There is no Prince of Jin, no Queen Dowager, only the mean faces of the Li family.

They locked her up, didn't let her go out, didn't give her enough food or clothes, and even rationed her water.

Shi Anrou was panicked and scared.

She missed home, the Marquisate, and Empress Dowager Huizheng.

This time, she wasn't acting.

She is being true to herself.

Her tears dried up, and she prayed in her heart for Queen Dowager Huizheng to bless her.

The door opened, and a noble woman walked in. She looked down at Shi Anrou and smiled ostentatiously, "Are you Shi Anrou? I heard that you still covet my cousin, the Prince of Jin?"

Shi Anrou huddled in the corner, buried her head in her knees, and said in a panic, "No, I didn't."

She wanted to cry. She was so scared!

She recognized this woman.

This is Li Lanzhi, the Concubine Li in the previous life. She had always been in love with her cousin, the Prince of Jin. She fought fiercely with Shi Anxia for this, and was finally killed by Shi Anxia.

Oh, oh, it’s another day of missing and calling Shi Anxia.

This time, she sincerely prayed in her heart, "Empress Dowager Huizheng, bless me! Bless me! Bless...ah..."

Her hair was pulled back by Li Lanzhi.

Li Lanzhi slapped her in the face, "Bitch! Lowly bastard! How dare you covet my cousin, the Prince of Jin!"
