The beautiful abandoned girl opened her eyes and she fought back with her medical skills
Chapter 199: Reward for Her
There must be some fraud!
The Sixth Aunt, who had been a little too quiet today, covered her mouth and chuckled, "Seventh Miss, there's no need to be so reserved. Mr. Shi said at the beginning that the people who came here to give gifts today are not here for anything else."
The Sixth Aunt's words gave Hua Jianli some peace of mind, and then she looked at the Fourth Aunt who treated her as a transparent person.
Compared with the other women, the Fourth Aunt seemed calm and composed, and looked more like the mistress of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Seeing Hua Jianli's gaze sweeping over her, she nodded slightly.
With the affirmation of the Fourth Aunt, Hua Jianli finally put his mind at ease. As long as they didn't cause trouble, he wouldn't make things difficult for them.
When Shi saw that Mo and Hua Jianli were secretly communicating, she felt a surge of anger in her heart.
Damn it, when did Hua Jianli get in touch with the fourth brother? This Mo, when she married into the prime minister's mansion, was only the daughter of a county magistrate. Otherwise, if it weren't for the master's manipulation behind the scenes, her father would have been able to jump from a seventh-rank official to a fourth-rank prefect.
Now that she has reached a higher position, she has started to form cliques. Why?
Could it be that he is coveting her position as the principal wife?
Think beautiful!
While he was complaining in his heart, boxes of things were carried in.
According to Mr. Shi's instructions, all the young ladies in the Prime Minister's Mansion received a box, even the ones who didn't come, which was given to the Fourth Aunt.
Some people couldn't wait to open it and exclaimed, "Wow, it's so beautiful!"
Inside the box were two rolls of ice silk satin, two rolls of cloud brocade satin, two rolls of fragrant cloud gauze, two sets of head ornaments, several sets of rouge and powder, and some small toys for the little girl...
The Shi family is an imperial merchant with countless businesses, and these things should all be their own products.
The next moment, Master Shi explained to them, "These cloths and jewelry are our new products this year. They have not yet been mass-produced. I thought that since I was going to your house today, I brought some for you ladies."
All the women thanked the grandfather of the Shi family. The palace banquet was coming up and they were worried about not having enough material to make clothes. Moreover, it was not available on the market, which made it even more precious.
Hua Jianli was puzzled.
The old man of the Shi family didn't blame her and even gave them gifts?
What is this operation?
They were happy, but Shi was depressed. Did his father take the wrong medicine or what? Why did he become a money-giving boy, throwing money everywhere?
Especially when Hua Jin ordered people to open the box that belonged to her, she was shocked to find that her things were exactly the same as those of these concubines' daughters. She frowned and looked at her grandfather, wondering what was going on!
She originally wanted to get back at these women, but she didn't expect her grandfather to treat her like this.
Hua Tang wasn't sure what his father-in-law was thinking, but since all his daughters had gifts, he must have one as well, as his father-in-law was always generous.
"What are you guys still standing there for? Why don't you thank Grandfather?"
After being reminded by Huatang, all the women thanked him again.
Except for Hua Jin, she had an unhappy look on her face. Seeing those women were overjoyed, she thought, humph, she would reward these things to Xichun, Nuxia and others to humiliate them.
Let them wear the same clothes as their maids and see if they will still be proud?
Shi saw that these young people had received gifts, so it was their turn now. The one million taels of gold...
I looked outside unconsciously, but I didn't see the servants carrying things, nor did I hear any movement outside, so I felt strange!
She couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. Did the person who brought the letter not explain clearly? She thought about it and decided to ask in person, "Dad, are you coming alone this time? If you want to come, just come. You brought so many gifts. Aren't you afraid of being tired..."
"That's right, father-in-law, if you need anything, just tell me and I'll send someone to escort you." Hua Tang also echoed.
Master Shi said nonchalantly, "I'm not tired at all. Not tired, not tired, hahaha..." He then took out a stack of banknotes from his chest and walked in front of Hua Jianli, "Seventh Miss, come here... Take these banknotes and spend them."
When he approached Hua Jianli, he said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Miss Qi, Zheng Xiang asked you to return his belongings! This is your reward."
Hua Jianli was puzzled. Is this the sentence again?
She didn't understand what she had taken from Shi Zhengxiang?
What do you want her to return?
No, I have to ask Qin Changge when I investigate the case tomorrow. Qin Changge said before that he would help me.
"Um...Grandfather Shi, Xiaoqi can't accept these banknotes." Didn't you see the look in Shi and Hua Jin's eyes that wanted to strangle her to death?
Hua Jianli pushed the banknote towards Mr. Shi.
"Hey, Zhengxiang asked me to give it to you. Since it's for you, just take it."
I don't know what this girl took. When I asked him, he stammered and couldn't explain clearly. It really made me anxious.
The other women looked on eagerly, expecting Mr. Shi to take out a handful of silver bills from his pocket and stuff them into their hands.
But Mr. Shi didn't take any action after that. He just whispered something to Hua Jianli.
Hua Jin's eyes had turned red like two little flames. Didn't her grandfather see that she was here?
The silver notes my grandfather gave were never small sums. The value of each note was at least 50,000 taels. My grandfather would give out a stack of them at a time. Not to mention 800,000 taels, there were always 400,000 or 500,000 taels.
She gave her mother a look. After all, Shi was the prime minister's wife. She couldn't be like Hua Jin and just do things superficially.
She forced herself not to care about it: "Xiao Qi, since it was given to you by your grandfather, just keep it!"
As soon as these words came out, Hua Jin next to him became very angry again.
What grandfather? The grandfather of the Shi family was not someone she, Hua Jianli, called.
Shi didn't care about Hua Jin's unhappiness. She looked at Master Shi steadily and said, "Dad, did you receive the letter I sent you last time?"
That being said, her father should understand!
After Master Shi once again told Hua Jianli to return the things, he turned to look at his daughter, "Oh, you mean the letter? I received it!"
When Shi heard this, he felt relieved and thought, "Glad that you have received it."
"You said you wanted a million gold, but it's really inconvenient for me to carry it on the road, so I used gold notes instead..." Mr. Shi said happily.
Shi and Huatang looked at each other and smiled. Even without gold, the gold notes would be the same.
No wonder he said he didn’t see anyone behind dad, so this is the case.
Mr. Shi stood up from his seat and shook his head at Shi. Then he said, "Zhengxiang came back and told me about his experience in the capital. He said that this time when his life was at stake, A Ce helped him a lot, which made him feel the love of his family and made him understand the value of family affection. So he asked me to give the gold note worth one million gold to his eldest brother Shi Ce..."
The smiles of the mother and daughter froze instantly.
"What? Grandfather, you're going to give him the million-dollar gold note?"
Hua Jin was the first one who couldn't help but ask.
"Father!" Shi was also anxious.
This money is used to save Jin'er's life. If it cannot be handed over to Princess Ziyang on time, the Anyang Palace will not let Jin'er go. At that time, Jin'er's life will be in danger.
Huatang didn't say anything, but his expression had obviously changed.
