Chapter 1406
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!"
