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

"This way," he took a half step back, a smile in his eyes, "we're a couple."

When Bei Hui returned, she still had a smile on her face.

At that moment, Anxia knew that she must have reconciled with Lord Zhuo, and she was happy for her. It was also at this moment that she completely erased the wrong path and wrong things Lord Zhuo had taken in his previous life.

This person is actually a kind-hearted person.

In addition, what made her even happier was that she extorted a sum of money from the Liang State Prince Cen Ji for disaster relief.

In the morning, Cen Che came to beg her to release the person, saying that the person in jail with him was named Feng Ji, a businessman.

You are kidding me. That is clearly the eldest prince of Liang, Cen Ji.

Cen Che said again, it was all a misunderstanding. They happened to be discussing business in a teahouse that day, and they were arrested as traitors for no apparent reason.

Shi Anxia said leisurely, in a businesslike manner, "Mr. Xie was able to come out of prison safely because you were working for this princess. As for Feng Ji you mentioned, someone will investigate him clearly."

Cen Che was anxious. How could he dare to let the princess's people conduct a detailed investigation? That would only bring trouble to the bottom of the matter. If he was not careful, he might even be completely implicated.

He had no choice but to use his trump card, "Princess, you don't know that what I talked about with Master Feng in the teahouse that day was to help you relieve your worries."

"Oh? This princess would like to hear how you can share your worries?" Shi Anxia smiled secretly in her heart but did not show it on her face, and listened attentively.

Cen Che said with a stiff upper lip, "Master Feng is willing to take out 10,000 taels of silver to help with the disaster relief. He also wants to share the princess' worries."

Shi Anxia's expression became softer. "Ten thousand taels of silver? Thank you, you are joking. I counted the accounts yesterday, and the Nanjiao porridge stall alone consumes more than a thousand taels of silver a day. In this case, I won't bother Mr. Feng to help. It's just a drop in the bucket."

This is blatant blackmail! Cen Che gritted his teeth and said, "I dare to accept the 20,000 taels on behalf of Master Feng."

Shi Anxia's gaze fell on Xie Huai, "Master Xie, are you willing to act as a guarantor for this Master Feng? If you are willing to act as a guarantor and take responsibility, I will release him immediately for 20,000 taels of silver. But if anything goes wrong later..."

Cen Che said anxiously: "Yes! We are willing to..."

"I don't want to." Xie Huai interrupted in a firm and resounding voice, and was unambiguous at the critical moment.

He took a look at the so-called Xie Yu and thought to himself, since you are not a member of the Xie family, of course you will agree quickly. The heads of more than 300 people in his Xie Mansion, young and old, are no joke.

Even though the Northern Wing has abolished collective responsibility, it would be a great injustice if the Xie family was involved in this unclear case of treason.

Xie Huai was very clear-headed at this moment and refused to give in.

Shi Anxia suddenly smiled, a sharp glint in her eyes. "Look, even the people in the Xie family who have the final say won't guarantee it." She slowly picked up the teacup. "Twenty thousand taels of silver, and you want me to take on such a huge responsibility? If this Mr. Feng is really an accomplice of the treason..."

The tea lid tapped lightly on the edge of the cup, making a crisp sound.

"But rest assured, Master Xie," she smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes, "I will definitely ask my subordinates to investigate thoroughly. From the date of birth to the eight generations of ancestors, Master Feng will be cleared of all charges."

Cen Che's face turned pale, and he clenched his hands in his sleeves. These words sounded polite, but in fact, they were heartbreaking. If he really wanted to investigate, not only would Cen Ji's identity as a prince be exposed, but even his own identity would have to be revealed.

Cen Che was so angry that he nearly gnashed his teeth, but he had to appear extremely respectful. "Princess, please understand. The Xie family is indeed unable to act as a guarantor for Master Feng. However..." He took a deep breath, clenching his fists tighter in his sleeves. "I wonder if a hundred thousand taels of silver can buy you some leniency?"

Shi Anxia's eyebrows curved, but she didn't answer. One hundred thousand taels of silver is not worthy of a prince's status. How can he be so stingy?
