Xie Xiangyu didn't understand.

?

"Liu Zheng, mother knows your concerns, but this is the intention of Pingxi Hou, and mother also hopes that you can stay in the capital."

?

Thinking that Xie Liuzheng was worried about business, Xie Xiangyu hurriedly expressed her concern.

?

"You don't have to worry about business matters. I will transfer most of the business to the capital. Now that we have the support of Pingxi Hou, we are not afraid even in the capital."

?

In the past, the Xie family was just a group of merchants, but now they are no longer a group that can be bullied.

?

They have the support of Marquis Pingxi, so the powerful people in the capital must consider the consequences before taking any action.

?

After hearing this, Xie Liuzheng realized that her mother had misunderstood her meaning, so she hurried to explain.

?

"Mother, I'm not worried about the business. The reason why I didn't agree to you accepting Pingxi Hou's kindness is that I don't want to embarrass you, mother!"

?

"I know that Pingxi Hou did this to prevent my mother from being separated from me, but if this is the case, Pingxi Hou will definitely be criticized."

?

As she spoke, she took her mother's hand and said, "Mom, I can't bear to leave you either! But I'm used to freedom and don't like being bound!"

?

Hearing this, Xie Xiangyu was a little disappointed, but she knew Liu Zheng's personality and she didn't want to force her daughter.

?

Xie Xiangyuzhi hopes Liu Zheng can change her mind.

?

Anyway, Xie Liuzheng will stay here for some time, and Xie Xiangyu thinks she still has a chance to convince her.

?

Xie Liuzheng knew that her mother had not given up, and she did not expect that she could convince her mother with just a few words.

?

She will use practical actions to tell her mother that she has grown into a daughter who no longer needs her protection.

?

In the future she will become stronger and bigger and become a support for her mother.

?

But even if Xie Liuzheng said these words, her mother would not listen.

?

She still proved it to her mother with practical actions.

?

"Mother, it's getting late. You should go to bed early! I will stay in the capital for a few days. Are you still worried that we won't have time to spend together?"

?

Xie Xiangyu didn't know what to say about this, so she had to get up and go back.

?

After all, Liu Zheng was right, they still had a lot of time to spend together and there was no need to rush.

?

After Xie Liuzheng lay down, she discovered for the first time that she was actually familiar with her bed. Perhaps she had become accustomed to the Xie family's bed. Even now, even though she was lying on the soft couch that her mother had specially replaced for her, Xie Liuzheng still felt uncomfortable.

?

So she lay on the bed, but couldn't fall asleep even though she was very sleepy.

?

Xie Liuzheng, who couldn't sleep, didn't disturb the maid and went out alone.

?

She walked into the garden and looking at the carefully cared-for green plants, Xie Liuzheng's mood improved a lot.

?

Although this place is not big, it is very exquisite.

?

Xie Liuzheng thought the scenery was very nice.

?

As she was wandering around, she walked away unknowingly, and then Xie Liuzheng found that she couldn't find the way back.

?

"Oh my god, I'm lost."

?

Because she did not alarm the maid when she left, she could only find her way back by herself now. The Pingxi Marquis Mansion did not look big, but Xie Liuzheng walked around but still could not find the place.

?

There happened to be a small courtyard in front of him, and Xie Liuzheng wondered if he could go in and ask for help.

?

She was worried that if she continued to wander around, she would not be able to return to the courtyard her mother had arranged for her. At this moment, Xie Liuzheng felt a little annoyed. Why didn't she remember the way out before coming out?

?

"Is there anyone?"

?

After a while, a servant came out impatiently, "Who are you? Which courtyard are you from? It's so late, why are you knocking on the door?"

?

"Hello, I'm new here and I don't know the way. Could you tell me how to get back?"

?

The door opened quickly, and a maid poked her head out. When she saw Xie Liuzheng's bright and charming face, she was stunned for a moment, then her voice softened unconsciously.

?

"you are?"

?

"I'm Xie Liuzheng, Xie Xiangyu is my mother!"

?

Hearing this, the old woman immediately became attentive, "Are you the new lady's daughter?"

?

But then the old woman took the initiative to come out, "Miss Xie, right? Then I will take you back. I know your courtyard is next to the main courtyard of the lady."

?

Follow the old woman and she will lead the way.

?

Xie Liuzheng was not polite. After going around in circles, she finally saw the small courtyard. "Thank you for your hard work. This is a small gift from me."

?

After stuffing a purse into the old woman's hand, Xie Liuzheng went in.

?

After all this trouble, she is now tired.

?

The old woman couldn't help but go back happily. When she walked a little further away, she couldn't wait to open her purse. When she saw there was a silver ingot inside, she was so happy that she couldn't help it.

?

"My God, Miss Xie is so generous, she is worthy of being the daughter of the richest man in Yangzhou."

?

But before the old woman could finish her joy, the purse in her hand was snatched away by someone.

?

The old woman was so angry that she said, "Who is so short-sighted that he actually stole my things..."

?

But when the old woman saw the person coming, she immediately became scared.

?

"So it's Zhiqi? I thought it was someone else. Why are you still awake so late?"

?

As the old woman spoke, her eyes kept glancing at the purse in Zhiqi's hand.

?

That was a silver ingot. You have to know that her monthly salary was only a few hundred coins. One silver ingot was enough for her family to eat and drink for a year.

?

But now it has been taken away by Zhiqi.

?

She looked at Zhiqi eagerly, thinking that Zhiqi was after all the young lady's favorite maid and would not be so foolish as to snatch her reward money.

?

"Where did you get this silver? Judging from the money, it doesn't look like it came from the capital."

?

Because the young lady suddenly wanted to eat bird's nest porridge, Zhiqi went to the kitchen to ask the cook to make it. Just after she gave the instructions, she saw the old woman in the yard grinning foolishly. She was in a bad mood to begin with, so she came to cause trouble for the old woman.

?

But she didn't expect to receive a reward of silver.

?

The old woman had no choice but to tell the truth, "It was given to me by the young lady before the new wife."

?

"Who are you calling Madam? You are such a traitor. The merchant girl hasn't even married into the family yet, but you're already trying to curry favor with her! Just wait, I'll report this to the young lady. Watch out for your trouble."

?

Hearing this, the old woman panicked. She naturally knew that Zhou Pan'er was born to the previous wife, so she naturally would not get along with the new wife who was about to marry into the house.

?

If the young lady knew that I was leading the new lady's daughter, she might punish me severely.

?

The old woman immediately begged for mercy, "Sister Zhiqi, please have mercy on me and don't tell the young lady about this! Just consider this silver as my filial piety to you."

?

Compared to money, the old woman thinks life is more important.

?

Zhiqi paid no attention to her, because she knew very well that the reward she would get after telling the young lady would be more than that.

?

So Zhiqi hurried back and told Zhou Paner about this.

?

Zhou Pan'er finally escaped from the hands of the governess, but she was so hungry that she asked Zhiqi to go to the kitchen.

?

But after waiting for a long time, the maid didn't come back.

?

Just as Zhiqi came back, Zhou Paner picked up something and threw it at him!
