The daily life of a concubine's daughter

Chapter 310 Like-minded

The three said goodbye at the fork in the road.

Shi Yao returned to Guanju Courtyard and continued to lie down.

After lying in bed for three days, the Duke's Mansion was peaceful and quiet. Shi Yao dressed up and went to the palace to express her gratitude.

Le An Ning was so distressed that she burst into tears, as if Shi Yao was going to the execution ground: "Sister-in-law, what do you think of this? She cheated our Yaoyao and still wanted our Yaoyao to thank her. This is too much! Shi Mingzhu is really vicious. Today it's Yaoyao, but who knows who will be unlucky tomorrow?"

Fu Nanjun frowned slightly.

Now, they were the only two granddaughters-in-law left in the mansion, and the two sisters-in-law personally escorted Shi Yao and the third wife Rong to the palace gate.

Today is the first day of the imperial examination, and the palace is under tight security.

Rong put on the imperial decree and led Shi Yao into the palace, to the Queen's Fengyi Palace.

The Queen felt quite sympathetic towards Shi Yao and said a few words wishing them a long life together and a son soon. She then rewarded them with a set of red gold headgear and sent them out of the palace.

After leaving the palace, Rong took a deep breath and finally felt alive.

Shi Yao acted like a "grateful and happy little poor thing". When she raised her eyes, she saw the father and son of the Xie family, the second master Xie and Xie Jibai.

The four of them looked at each other, feeling awkward.

Second Master Xie brought his son over to greet him. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and forced a beaming smile: "Greetings, Third Madam. This is the first time for us two to enter the palace and meet the Emperor. We are sorry to have embarrassed you, Third Madam. Fortunately, your uncle had the foresight to send someone to teach us the rules, otherwise we would have lost our manners in front of the Emperor. Please ask Madam to thank the old master of your house on our behalf."

The gorgeous makeup concealed the haggard look on Rong's face. Rong was still frightened by Shi Yunfan's incident, and she dared not provoke Shi Yao. Naturally, she would not be arrogant in front of Shi Yao's future in-laws, so she smiled gently and said:

"This is what our family should do. Second Master, there is no need to thank us. From now on, our two families will be relatives, so we should visit each other more often."

The Shi family are all crazy, having inherited the old Duke's madness. Rong greeted Xie Jianwei in a friendly manner while criticizing him in her heart.

In the past, how could she take a humble merchant seriously?

What's more, the girl from the other family looked down on her son in every way. She would rather cut her hair and become a nun than marry her Xiaoqi. Needless to say, Xie Qingdai must have had a prophetic dream and deliberately broke off the engagement.

Rong was so angry that he couldn't vent his anger, which made him feel very frustrated.

When Shi Yao saw Xie Jibai, her dark eyes lit up. She quickly took a few steps back and waved to Xie Jibai.

Xie Jibai hesitated.

Not long ago, he saw Shi Yao traveling with the third son of the Jiang family, and guessed that the two were discussing marriage.

Just a few days later, Shi Yao became his future wife, and even the Emperor granted them marriage proclamation.

Although the Xie family was plotted against, they suffered no loss and instead gained a daughter-in-law of noble birth, so their anger soon subsided.

However, the second sister once said that the Shi family was about to fall and the Xie family might be implicated. Fortunately, she broke off the engagement.

He was just feeling worried when his second sister said that even if the Shi family fell, it would fall. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how poor they were, they were still superior to the Xie family. It would be a good thing to marry this family. She asked him to treat Shi Yao well.

Xie Jibai's mind was in a mess, one moment it was Jiang Miao, the next moment it was his second sister, and he was a little slow, and his father's big foot kicked him.

Xie Jibai stood firmly, looked at Rong Shi apologetically, and then slowly moved towards Shi Yao.

When he got in front of Shi Yao, his face turned red.

Shi Yao handed him a purse embroidered by four maids and said with a smile, "This is a gift from my heart. Please accept it, Mr. Xie."

Xie Jibai almost fell to the ground: "Isn't this a bit too fast?"

A token of love?

Shi Yao stuffed the purse into his waist and said with a smile, "Why hurry? We have been granted marriage by the imperial decree. We will be married in a few months. Why are you being so formal with me? Take it quickly."

Xie Jibai's face turned red all the way to his neck. He quickly raised his hand to take it and squeezed it. He felt something inside. His whole body stiffened and he slowly raised his eyes to look at Shi Yao.

Banknote?

He often touched silver bills, and he knew they were silver bills and nothing else.

"No... I can't accept it... I don't need it... I won't accept it..."

Although he was a bit tight on money as he had been building public toilets everywhere in the past six months, he would not ask his future daughter-in-law to pay for his support.

Does the girl in front of me understand the situation?

His family background is of low status, but he really won't marry into the family.

The imperial edict did not mention the requirement of marrying into the family!

Shi Yao smiled and said, "Once is new, twice is familiar. I don't want to bother two masters for the same thing. I believe that Master Xie will not cheat me of my money. Please help me use this money for charity and help those poor children, the elderly and the disabled."

Xie Jibai was stunned.

Is there anything wrong with Miss Shi Er?

Then he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, fortunately, he was not allowed to marry into the family.

If he married into the Duke's family, his father would immediately vomit blood and die.

Shi Yao said righteously, "Well, there is nothing wrong with me. I just pity the poor and the weak and like to help others. Sir, you are not scared, right?"

Xie Jibai shook his head slowly: "As long as the girl likes it, it's good. In life, it's rare to want to do something you like, so just do it."

Shi Yao's heart moved: "My lord and I have the same aspirations."

Xie Jibai: "...What do you mean? I don't have any great ambitions."

"Sir, don't be so modest. I've also heard some rumors about you. You are truly a man of character!" Shi Yao gave him a thumbs up. "In fact, I know that you are kind-hearted, so you like to help the poor and the needy. You would rather tarnish your own reputation than save the suffering girl.

I share the same ideals as you, you can use this money to save those poor girls who have fallen into prostitution, as many as you can save."

Xie Jibai's breath rose to his throat: "How, how to save him?"

If he is really rescued, his father will break his legs in the Saixie family’s yard!

It was with great difficulty that I managed to settle down those "beauties" that I had collected before.

Shi Yao tilted her head slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Buy them back. If their parents are reliable, send them home. If their parents sold them in the first place, it would be better to let them learn a skill to make a living, or make them maids so they don't starve to death on the streets."

Just from these few simple words, Xie Jibai knew that Shi Yao really wanted to be a good person and do good things.

Well, the second Miss Shi took eight thousand taels of silver last time. I'm afraid she took out most of her family's assets. This time she can only take a thousand taels of silver at most.

A thousand taels of silver cannot redeem a few people.

The matter of having more people to feed at home.

"Don't worry, young lady. I will definitely help you. You are so kind-hearted. God will sense it and will make your life smooth and peaceful for the rest of your life..."

Having said this, I got stuck.

Xie Jibai still remembered that last time Shi Yao gave him money to help Fengzhou, she said that being charitable and doing good deeds is for the purpose of marrying a good husband in the future.

After many twists and turns, he actually became this "son-in-law".

But considering his status, he could never be called a "good" son-in-law to the daughter of the Duke.

Shi Yao looked at the respectful Second Master Xie, then looked at the "obedient" Third Master Xie in front of her, and said with a smile: "I will definitely do it."
