Mistakenly recognized as a cousin, thousands of pampered

Sure enough, His Majesty soon sent someone to announce the decree, clearing Tao Hongyuan of the injustice he had suffered. At the same time, His Majesty also showed special grace and bestowed generous rewards.

On that day, several people were invited back to Tao Mansion in a grand manner, surrounded by the crowd.

Along the way, everyone's faces were filled with joy and relief at surviving the disaster.

On this side, Tao Hongyuan couldn't wait to send someone to find a doctor before the person got home.

After the doctor took the patient's pulse, everyone finally put their minds at ease. Tao Yunxi was already more than two months pregnant, and the fetus was stable.

Tao Hongyuan was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He immediately gave orders and arranged for various pregnancy-maintaining medicines and various warming and nourishing substances to ensure the health of Tao Yunxi and the fetus in her womb.

Seeing Tao Hongyuan so nervous and concerned, Tao Jiuxi and Tao Qingwan looked at each other and couldn't help but smile with relief, happy to see the success.

After settling Tao Yunxi, Tao Jiuxi couldn't wait to go to his own shop.

As soon as I arrived at the door of the store, I heard Li Dachun's crying voice and trembling lips calling: "Boss~~"

Seeing this, Tao Jiuxi smiled and threw a handkerchief to Li Dachun, scolding him: "I knew you would be like this. I prepared a handkerchief for you. I am back safely."

Li Dachun took the handkerchief and burst into tears, saying, "Boss, it's been eight months since I last saw you."

Tao Jiuxi looked around the store, seeing the endless stream of customers and the new products on the shelves. He was very satisfied and couldn't help but praise, "You've managed the business very well in the past six months."

Li Dachun listened, a hint of pride appeared on his face, and then he said, "Boss, wait for me for a moment."

After saying this, he hurried back to the counter. Not long after, he took out a stack of silver stubs and respectfully handed them to Tao Jiuxi, saying, "Boss, this is the money we've saved recently. I've always believed that you would come back, so I'm keeping it for you. And the account books are all here, too."

Tao Jiuxi was moved when he saw Li Dachun crying and laughing.

Thinking back, although I helped Li Dachun in the beginning, Li Dachun has always treated me sincerely during these long days. This friendship is really precious.

Tao Jiuxi waved his hand and said, "I won't look at these today. Today, I have to enjoy the delicious food in the restaurant."

After saying that, he found a place to sit down and began to enjoy the delicious food that he had not tasted for a long time.

At this moment, she inadvertently saw the children who had been rescued together with Ji Qingyi. They were still wearing tattered clothes and huddled in the box.

At this moment, the children saw her, cheered, and ran over without hesitation.

Several people crowded outside the window, their eyes full of eagerness, and shouted in unison: "Sister!"

Tao Jiuxi looked at their skinny appearance and frowned distressedly. He asked, "Last year I hid some money for you in the yard. Didn't you go back?"

Although the amount of money was not huge, it was enough to keep these children fed and clothed for more than half a year, so they would definitely not starve to the point of being like this.

"We're going back, sister," the older child replied quickly. "We saw the money you left there and we're so grateful to you."

After listening to this, Tao Jiuxi nodded slightly, then handed out a bowl of pastries from the window and motioned for them to eat while talking.

The boy took the cakes and shared them with the other children before continuing, "But then my little sister got sick, and we used all the money to pay for her medical treatment. If it weren't for my sister's money, my little sister would probably be..."

As he spoke, he pointed to his even thinner sister beside him.

Tao Jiuxi looked in the direction he pointed, and seeing the frail appearance of the child, he sighed helplessly and asked softly, "Is my little sister feeling better now?"

"I'm cured now, but..."

The boy lowered his voice and touched his sister's head with a distressed look on his face. "It's just that my sister has had a fever for too long and can't speak anymore."

He paused, then said to Tao Jiuxi with a hint of regret: "It's all because we didn't listen to sister back then. If we had followed her advice and sent my sister to the orphanage earlier, perhaps things wouldn't be like this now."

"Don't blame yourself. You were reluctant to be separated from your sister at the beginning. I have a good friend who is an excellent doctor. When she comes to the capital, I will ask her to help your sister." Tao Jiuxi comforted softly.

"Thank you, sister. Can you send us to the orphanage now? I'm scared if we go there by ourselves..." the boy asked cautiously.

"Of course you can. You can come with me later." Tao Jiuxi said as he took the pastries on the table and distributed them to the children.

Watching the children wolfing down their food, Tao Jiuxi turned to Li Dachun, who was busy working not far away, and shouted, "Brother Li, bring some more cakes and milk tea over here."

After the children had eaten and drunk their fill, Tao Jiuxi took them to a clothing store and carefully selected and bought new clothes for them.

After everything was ready, she took the children back to her Tao Mansion.

In order to ensure the safety of the children, she also specially called several servants to go with her.

Tao Jiuxi brought a skilled servant with him to the orphanage for inspection.

The location of this orphanage in the capital city is not remote, but there are many problems inside it.

As soon as I entered, I saw a child with a black eye and swollen face after being beaten for being disobedient.

Upon seeing this, Tao Jiuxi was immediately furious and revealed her identity as the county lady. The people in the orphanage were reluctant at first, but Tao Jiuxi had the emperor's order and had the right to inspect the accounts and ledgers of the orphanage, so they had to obey.

If you don't investigate, you won't know. Once you investigate, you will find that there is a lot of corruption. The money was clearly allocated by the court to the children, but in the end it fell into the hands of the manager and others.

Tao Jiuxi did not send the child to the orphanage that day, but took the child back to his own residence.

The next day she changed into the clothes of a county lady and went to the palace to meet the queen.

Just after the ceremony, the emperor also arrived here.

The emperor was very curious about Tao Jiuxi's arrival and secretly speculated about the reason for her visit. He wondered if Tao Jiuxi felt that she had been wronged in the past six months, so she took the initiative to come to the palace to ask for reward, or if she was asking His Majesty to allow her to go to the battlefield to visit Shen Zhiyi, thinking that the woman Shen Zhiyi liked was nothing special and only got the status of a county lady, so she wanted to ask for more.

However, having said that, Shen Zhiyi's ability to take down Xi Yan so quickly must be related to that extraordinary woman.

Recovering the often troublesome Xiyan was already a foregone conclusion, but he was able to shorten the originally estimated two years to half a year, which really shows that Shen Zhiyi is extraordinary.

After being given a seat.

Seeing that the Emperor hadn't spoken, the Empress took the initiative to ask, "What brings Princess Anping here?"
