Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 20

Shi Anxia sighed deeply, lowering his eyebrows and lowering his eyes, "Not only that, last year my brother also got into a life lawsuit, and it took eight hundred taels to settle it."

Mrs. Shi's heart skipped a beat, "Eight hundred taels?"

Aunt Wen's expression suddenly changed as she stood aside.

Shi Anxia pretended not to see it and continued to talk to himself, "Well, my brother fell in love with a newly married bride. The bride was loyal and would not obey her until death. As a result, my brother teamed up with a bunch of gangsters and soiled the bride's innocence. The bride was so ashamed and angry that she threw herself into a well the next day. The bride's husband took the jade pendant left behind by his brother and went to the government office to sue his brother. Finally, the brother settled the matter with eight hundred taels of silver."

In the last life, the bride's husband knew that the powerful were protecting each other and could not avenge his wife, so he took the eight hundred taels of silver and quickly left the capital, and finally worked hard to become an imperial merchant.

Eight years later, when Shi Anxia was walking on thin ice in the palace, he was framed by this man and his concubine, and he almost died in the cold palace.

I also heard that every one of the gangsters who had insulted the bride with Shi Yunxing died miserably.

In this life, she was too late to save the poor bride, but she did not want to become a mortal enemy of this powerful future imperial merchant.

Injustice has its owner, debt has its owner, and whoever commits the sin will bear it.

Shi Anxia asked sincerely, "Grandma, did you pay for this money? My mother said that she never gave me this money."

Mrs. Shi had a toothache when she mentioned eight hundred taels of silver, which was only half of her private treasury.

Didn’t you say that you should worship the great Confucian as your teacher? Why is the lawsuit settled?

Last year, when Aunt Wen asked Mrs. Shi for money, she said that Brother Xing wanted to become a disciple of a great Confucian, and she needed to buy a famous painting as a gift from him.

The great scholar was Fang Yuchu, who was once the emperor's enlightenment teacher. Later, due to old age and lack of energy, he resigned and stayed at home to entertain his children and grandchildren and take care of himself.

Mrs. Shi was elated by the name "Fang Yuchu", thinking that if her grandson could worship the great scholar as his teacher, it would be much easier to ask him to be crowned prince in the future.

Originally, she planned to let Tang Group pay for it. But Aunt Wen said that the Tang family could not be allowed to know about this because Fang Yuchu had a personal grudge with the Protectorate. It took a lot of favors from her to get the scholar to soften his tone.

Mrs. Shi believed it somehow, and reluctantly took out her private money to subsidize her grandson.

At that time, her good grandson promised that he would work hard, succeed in the future, and honor his grandmother.

But I never expected that the truth would be so unbearable.

Mrs. Shi was so angry that she wanted to smash Aunt Wen's head with a tea cup. She looked at the tea in the cup, and forced herself to hold back. She only asked in a deep voice, "Say! Did the eight hundred taels of silver go to settle the lawsuit?"

Aunt Wen was so frightened that her legs went weak. She knelt down in front of Mrs. Shi and cried, "Auntie, Brother Xing made a mistake. He didn't dare to find his mother. He found his niece and his son. How could I not save him? My niece is afraid of scaring your old man, so I made up these words to coax you."

Shi Anxia glanced at Aunt Wen, with no wavering in her eyes, and stood up to leave, "Grandma, please talk to Aunt Wen. Your granddaughter has to go see her mother's body, so don't be sad." After saying this, I was blessed. Ready to leave.

Walking to the curtain, she suddenly seemed to remember something and turned around again, "By the way, my grandson has called all the brothers in the family to Haitang Courtyard. She wants them to spend more time with her mother, and then we can meet again." Choose a suitable one from among them and raise him in his mother's name to fulfill his filial piety. We, the second wife of the Marquis Mansion, can't afford not to have a legitimate son, don't you think so?"
