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

Shi Anxia naturally knew what happened in front of Li's house, and the people he sent out had returned early to report everything clearly.

But there are ways to win people over. For example, if you let Zeng's mother explain it in detail from her perspective, she will feel that she is being valued and feel comfortable, which is happier than getting money.

After taking a sip of tea, Mother Zeng began to vividly describe how Dongxi entered the Li Mansion.

But her face was ruddy, her voice was hoarse, her eyes were shining, and at first glance she looked excited because she had done a good job.

Especially seeing that Shi Anxia was listening very seriously, Zeng's mother was even more excited, "Madam, didn't you see that when the old master of the Li family heard that someone was saying that his family was going to rebel, his face was as ugly as the stone slab in the toilet."

Hong Que couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Beihui and Mother Wang also laughed.

Zheng Qiaoer pointed at Zeng's mother with an indulgent look on her face, "What a mouth you have!"

Shi Anxia covered her face with a handkerchief, her eyebrows curved and eyes showed that she was very happy, "What happened next?"

Of course she knew "later", but wasn't this just passing on the message?

Zeng Mama liked such a master who liked to please her. "Later, Mr. Li Si came back and saw that Dong Xi was unhappy. He wanted to scold her. But his old master sent someone to call him in. There was a long discussion inside. When he came out, Mr. Li Si changed his mind and said that Dong Xi was a girl he had liked for a long time."

Mother Wang curled her lips, "Who would believe this?"

Zeng's mother nodded, "No one believed it at the time. It was the old man of the Li family who came out to clarify, saying that his great-grandson had been trying to marry this girl a long time ago, and it was because the Li family felt that they were not a good match, so they committed this evil. Now the rice has been cooked, and it was not to pry into any secrets... It just admitted the matter."

Shi Anxia smiled as she drank her tea, only to find that the tea had already tasted weak. "The old master is quite smart and knows how to judge the situation. No matter how many people are willing to believe it, at least when the emperor asks, he can answer with confidence."

"That's not all," Zeng Mama happily took out a silver note from her bosom and handed it to Shi Anxia, ​​"The old master said that the gap between the two families is too big, so there's no need to hold a banquet, and just carry the big red wedding sedan into the Li Mansion through the side door to be a concubine. I didn't want to do that at the time, and insisted on entering through the main gate of the Li family. The old master gave me these five hundred taels of silver, and I finally agreed."

To put it bluntly, these five hundred taels of silver were hush money. After all, the silver had to go to Shi Anxia.

Because Dongxi's indenture is in Shi Anxia's hands.

Shi Anxia stuffed the banknote back into Zeng's mother's hand, "As for this money, you old Zeng family can keep it. You can keep it for yourself, or give some to her parents, it's up to you, I don't care."

She gave Bei Hui a wink again, and Bei Hui handed Dong Xi's birth certificate to Zeng's mother.

"This?" Mother Zeng held the silver note in one hand and the deed in the other, not knowing what to do.

Her niece was the first to betray her master! She had originally thought, how great would it be if the five hundred taels fell into her hands?

But now that she really fell into his hands, she hated her niece for being so short-sighted. What a good master in front of her.

Shi Anxia said, "Today, for the sake of Zeng Mama, I will settle the matter of Dongxi with me, and no one is allowed to mention it in the future. As for whether Dongxi lives or dies in the Li family, I will no longer ask, it all depends on her luck. You can take the indenture, keeping it here will only cause more trouble. As for the silver... Zeng Mama, you can distribute it yourself, I will not ask."

Zeng's mother said sincerely, "Mrs. Xie is very generous. I will send this money back to her parents, as a token of my support for her. As for her..."

In fact, everyone present knew that Dongxi would not have a good ending. Perhaps Dongxi himself was the only one who was still looking forward to his future life as a master.

Shi Anxia asked Bei Hui to take out ten taels of silver and handed it over, "You did a good job for me today, this is a reward."

How could Zeng's mother dare to accept it? Her old face had been worn down so much that only skin was left.

Zheng Qiaoer still indulged him, "Here you go, just take it. My niece is good at everything, and the best thing about her is that she knows how to make money. If she asks you to do something for her in the future, just do it well, and you will definitely get some benefits."

Only then did Zeng's mother accept the reward with trembling hands and thanked the master profusely.

Shi Anxia asked Bei Hui to take out ten taels of silver and put it on the table, "I invited Madam Wang here today because I have something to do."

Mother Wang quickly stood up, took two steps forward, and stood beside Mother Zeng, "Madam, please give me your orders."

Shi Anxia said, "I remember that Wang Mama's grandson wrote a good storybook?"

Speaking of this, it is the pride of their Wang family, so he repeated his little grandson, "Madam has a good memory. My grandson grew up as a book boy beside the young master of the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion. By the way, the person he respects the most now is the young master of Jian'an Marquis."

Shi Anxia smiled, not modestly, "My brother is indeed a role model for scholars."

"Of course not!" Mother Wang envied the young master of Jian'an the most for his photographic memory. He could memorize a book after reading it once, so he didn't need to buy it. How much money could he save?

Shi Anxia got back to business, "It's the same thing. Brother Wang, please write a story about the Li family. Don't mention any names. Just say that this girl is the niece of a mother in a certain Duke's mansion and works in the mansion. Take it to the teahouse and talk about it. Spread it around so that the heat doesn't die down for ten days or half a month."

Mother Wang smiled, "He is familiar with this."

Bei Hui handed ten taels of silver to Mother Wang and said, "Give Brother Wang some tea. If you have any questions, please ask Mother Zeng. She knows the details."

"Hey!" Mother Wang took it and thanked her with a smile, "I will make sure that my grandson will take care of it properly, please rest assured, Madam."

Shi Anxia smiled with relief, "I'm naturally relieved when Madam Wang does the job."

Next, the two maids were invited to a banquet in Tinglan Courtyard to enjoy the Baxia offering.

On such a hot day, eating hot and spicy rabbit meat, drinking refreshing tea and sweet juice squeezed from fruits, with an ice crystal plate next to you to cool down, it is such a wonderful life.

They are beautiful indeed.

But winter is not beautiful.

The big red sedan was carried in and thrown into the woodshed, and someone outside the sedan cursed it as "unlucky".

Dongxi sat in the woodshed and waited for a long time, but Li Tianhua didn't come out until he walked out of the sedan chair.

As soon as she walked out, she found the woodshed was locked. She was so frightened that she knocked on the door of the woodshed, "Open the door! Open the door! Master Li, I am Dong Xi! Master Li, please come and let me out..."

After a while, the door of the woodshed opened and Li Tianhua was standing at the door.

Dongxi's eyes were filled with tears of grievance and surprise, "Mr. Li... I finally..."

Li Tianhua narrowed his eyes slightly, waving a folding fan in his hand from time to time, "Are you really pregnant?"
