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

Tang Xinghe never married in his previous life. Shi Anxia felt that she had to make her aunt feel at ease in this life, as any of the girls in the Fu family would be a good match for him.

result……

Cen Yuan smiled meaningfully, "Don't match people up randomly. Your cousin Xinghe has to wait a few years before he can get married."

"why?"

"Because the girl is still young."

Shi Anxia couldn't sit still any longer. "Who? Fu Xianxian?"

Cen Yuan smiled and stood up and left, "Don't guess blindly, it's not her. You will know later."

Bei Hui just came in and reported, "Madam, Miss Ming Zhao is here."

"Please ask her to come in." When Anxia put away the messy sketch, she saw Ming Zhao walk in from outside. He stood by the door, knelt down and bowed, lowered his head, and said, "Greetings to Princess Haiyan."

Shi Anxia stood up, walked over and offered her a hand to help, "Sister, there's no need to be polite. Come in and sit down and talk."

Ming Zhao then raised his head.

Shi Anxia's eyebrows relaxed. Tsk! I finally get to meet this sister!

In the previous life, I only heard of him but never saw him.

She looked at Ming Zhao calmly, but when she saw this girl... how to say it? Blood relationship is really strange. Ming Zhao looks about 50% like herself.

It is said that this woman is very good at accounting. Others may spend a long time calculating without coming up with an answer, but Ming Zhao can tell the exact number just by calculating in her mind.

In other words, no one can fool her on the accounts.

Shi Anxia was looking at Ming Zhao, but in fact Ming Zhao was also secretly looking at Shi Anxia.

Ming Zhao didn't dare look the noble ladies in the eye. He only knew from his elders that the noble ladies in the capital were not willing to deal with merchants.

Anyway, I like gold and silver things, but I despise the smell of money of businessmen.

Ming Zhao had no hope for a visit from his powerful relatives.

The two of them sat down, and Shi Anxia first chatted about some family matters before getting to the point, "I heard that it is actually my sister who is the housekeeper of the Ming family now?"

Ming Zhao heard this and thought about what Princess Haiyan meant by asking this question.

She answered in a low voice, "Princess Haiyan..."

Shi Anxia interrupted softly, "There is no princess here, sister, there is no need to be polite. We two sisters can just chat casually."

Ming Zhao was indeed somewhat surprised that the princess was so calm. At the same time, he was thinking that perhaps the lady wanted to make money from the Ming family again, which was why she was so humble and asked such a question.

After she figured this out, she knew how to respond. "Although the Ming family is a merchant family, they also value rules. I don't have a housekeeper, and my great-great-grandmother has always been in charge of the household. I just assist my great-great-grandmother, running errands for her and doing some things. My great-grandfather and great-grandmother are old and have no strength. My grandparents are not in good health either. In short..."

Anyway, the Ming family is out of money, so you guys should just stop sucking their blood, okay?

How could Shi Anxia not understand? Seeing that this sister's body was full of thorns, she was afraid that she would not be able to talk about anything, so she smiled warmly, "Then I understand."

The two of them parted ways because they had no idea what was going on.

Two more days passed.

Shi Anxia would call Mingzhao over every day to chat for a while, and then leave. He would also visit various houses and courtyards to have tea and meals, and through the conversations he could get a thorough understanding of everyone's personality.

In the evening of that day, Cen Yuan returned with Ming Chengyuan.

Ming Chengyuan was too old to move. He had to rest after every step and could only be pushed back in a wooden wheelchair.

It was another warm meeting. The old man had been looking forward to a letter from the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion in the capital all his life.

I thought I would never see that day until I died, but someone really came from the capital.

The old man shed tears many times and felt very guilty when he recalled his daughter.

After repeatedly bringing up the unpleasant experiences that had occurred in the capital, Guan was afraid of angering Tang Chuyu and causing a bad ending, so she stopped the topic in time.

Maybe the old man had been feeling aggrieved for too many years and was not willing to stop there. When he got excited, his eyes rolled back and he fainted on the spot.

"House doctor! House doctor!" Guan was panicking, "Go and get Doctor Zhang."

A housekeeper responded and left.

At this moment, the doorman came to report that several masters from the Ming family's side branches had come with a large group of people.

Guan's eyes darkened, "Zhao'er, go stop them and tell them that there are guests in the mansion and it is inconvenient to entertain them."

"Yes." Ming Zhao responded and turned to leave.

But Tang Chuyu said, "I'll go meet him."

Shi Anxia shook her head. "If anyone wants to go, I'll go. Uncle, you're an official appointed by the court, don't get involved in these family affairs."

Guan knew that a few people were going to support the Ming family, so she said with tears in her eyes, "Good children! Don't go. Those people are very difficult to deal with. Let Zhao'er go, so as not to pollute your ears."

Shi Anxia said calmly, "It's okay, I'll go see what they are going to do." She looked at Ming Zhao, "Let's go, sister."

Ming Zhao has been with Shi Anxia these days, and although he is still very wary, his impression of the noble lady has improved to some extent.

She was very smart. In fact, she wanted to use her status as a princess to put pressure on those people. She was afraid that her great-great-grandmother would persuade Shi Anxia to retreat with just a few words.

She didn't care about the etiquette and pulled Shi Anxia out. As she walked, she quickly told the doorman, "Take the person to the side hall of the South Courtyard."

Shi Anxia deliberately slowed down his pace and walked slowly on the winding path paved with bluestone.

Ming Zhao also slowed down when he saw this.

Yes, the princess has arrived! Why are you in such a hurry? Let those people wait.

The group walked leisurely along the way and even admired the crabapple flowers along the way.

Ming Zhao rarely spoke up, "My great-great-grandmother loves crabapple flowers the most."

Shi Anxia said, "People who like crabapple flowers are the most soft-hearted."

Ming Zhao suddenly felt like chatting with this noble lady. "Yes, my great-great-grandmother always said that we are all family after all, and we can't write two Ming characters with one stroke. If we suffer a little loss and can get peace in return, that's also a gain."

In her opinion, such great wisdom and broad mind are unnecessary.

She only believed in "If someone respects me one foot, I will respect him one yard." Over the years, she had advised her great-great-grandmother to stay away from those weird relatives.

But my great-great-grandfather and great-great-grandmother were worn down by life and became soft.

But the noble lady sneered, "It's better not to have such greedy harmony."

Ming Zhao's eyes lit up and he looked at the noble lady seriously for the first time.

The lady looked cool and elegant, and her every move exuded dignity.

Ming Zhao suddenly had a lot to say, "The Ming family's branch took so much from our great-great-grandfather, but they are still not satisfied. The more we give in, the more they push us. Years ago, they even wanted to take over the eight shops at the East Gate and the fleet at the West Wharf that sails to Suzhou. That was our great-great-grandmother's dowry. How can they be so shameless as to ask for so much?"

Shi Anxia smiled coldly, "Then let them return all their things. Do you have a list of records?"

"Have."

As they were talking, they had already arrived at the entrance of the side hall of the South Courtyard.

Shi Anxia raised his head slightly and glanced at Bei Hui.

Bei Hui understood and shouted with full energy, "Princess Haiyan is here!"
