Quick Wear: Salted Fish anchor always eats melons on the scene

In fact, since Sun Fanzhong appeared in Jiang Mansion last time, Shi Li had quietly changed his way of addressing Xu to "Madam".

But this is the first time in front of Jiang Yu.

Xu wanted to reach out and grab Shi Li, but she paused when she heard the voice and subconsciously looked at Jiang Yu.

He just stood by and didn't notice anything wrong.

Xu knew long ago that this man would not be her backer, so she was not disappointed. She continued to smile and said to Shi Li, "Li Li has been gone for so long, please don't be estranged from me."

"Yes, sister has been gone for so long, we all miss her very much."

Shi Li looked at Jiang Mingzhu.

He has grown up indeed. His little thoughts used to be written all over his face, but now he has learned to disguise them.

She smiled at Jiang Mingzhu and said, "Of course I miss my sister, but I just went to the palace with my father to meet His Majesty. Otherwise, I could have come back earlier to see Madam and my sister."

As expected, Jiang Mingzhu's face twisted when she heard these words.

"Everyone go inside. You won't be afraid of the wind if you stand outside!" Jiang Yu gave an order, and everyone walked into the mansion.

As Xu walked away, she said, "Everything in your original yard remains the same. I have already ordered people to clean it up. If there is anything wrong, come and tell me."

"That's nothing. Madam's orders must be the best."

Shi Li looked at the corridor that still looked the same as before, with a calm smile. Suddenly, he turned his head and glanced at Xu, "There is just one more thing that I need Madam's help with."

"What are you saying, Lili? I should do anything for you." Xu felt that there was something wrong with her smile, but she didn't know what she should do, so she had to speak to deal with it.

Shi Li took a step forward, and her ground-length red skirt fluttered like falling petals, light and graceful.

"When I was in Jiangnan, my grandmother gave me a list of my mother's dowry. I was ignorant before and didn't know if my mother's things were missing or damaged, and my grandmother scolded me for that. This time when I came back, my grandmother specially sent a nanny who knew about my mother's pretense to accompany me."

Xu's face turned pale at this moment.

Although she was born in a good family, she was still inferior to Shi Li's biological mother. Ever since she married into the Jiang family and became the second wife, she had been coveting Shi Li's biological mother's dowry intentionally or unintentionally.

Over the past ten years, I had cheated many items and even shops from the ignorant original owners. After so much time had passed, I thought it was over.

Who knew that the Sun family would suddenly cause such a scene? Didn't this mean that she had to give up what she had gotten?

But she couldn't say anything. It was normal for a daughter to inherit her mother's dowry. It was also reasonable for the Sun family to ask the nanny to come and help sort it out.

but……

Xu could only smile through gritted teeth, "Of course. When you have a few days to rest, I will definitely help you check carefully to see if anything is missing."

On the other side, Emperor Daoxi and Shi Xiao were talking.

The tall man stood below Emperor Daoxi, wearing a silver-iron mask that covered most of his face, leaving only a pair of dark eyes exposed.

"Now, I am no longer in any danger in this palace. You escorted me all the way, and now it's time for me to repay you." Emperor Daoxi said this very sincerely.

He was able to return to the capital safely and avoid several assassination attempts on the road, thanks to Shi Xiao's protection.

Now that he has ascended to the throne, he sincerely wants to thank Shi Xiao.

Shi Xiao didn't say anything for a long time.

"If you haven't made up your mind, it doesn't hurt to think about it again." Emperor Daoxi knew that Shi Xiao was different from others, so he didn't rush him.

Shi Xiao did not retreat, but made a request, "I want silver."

Emperor Daoxi: ???

"Why?" He raised his eyebrows. It's not that he was reluctant to reward the silver, but he was just wondering why Shi Xiao, a man who never cared about the trivialities of life, suddenly wanted to ask for silver?

Shi Xiao's eyes flashed with confusion, "I don't know either, I just think I should use silver, I really need it."

"Well, I'll give it to you."

Emperor Daoxi sighed and looked at him helplessly, "But this doesn't count as my repayment of your favor. You will definitely want something more in the future."

Shi Xiao didn't say anything. He really couldn't think of anything else he wanted. In fact, let alone what he wanted, he didn't even know who he was.

Emperor Daoxi was always grateful to him for helping him block assassinations on the road. But if Emperor Daoxi had not saved him, he would not be alive today.
