The daily life of a concubine's daughter

Chapter 311 Don't Let Her Be a Widow

Xie Ji's face turned pale and then red. He took off a jade pendant from his waist and said solemnly, "This was given by my grandmother. I have worn it for more than ten years. Today I give it to Miss Shi Er."

Shi Yao blinked.

Suddenly ashamed.

The purse she gave was not embroidered by herself, so how could it hold such a valuable jade pendant?

But if you don't take it, people will inevitably think too much about it in front of everyone.

She shook her hands, took the jade pendant, and held it in her palm. The coolness of the jade made her calm down a lot, and she smiled and said, "Then I'll accept it."

Seeing this, Rong Shi felt relieved and said, "Second girl, let's go back home. If you have anything to say, we can talk next time we meet."

"I'm coming!"

Shi Yao said goodbye to Xie Jibai and got on the Shi family's carriage with Rong.

Mr. Xie put his hands behind his back, looked Xie Jibai up and down, and smiled like Maitreya Buddha, amiable and lovely: "Fortunately, you have a good appearance and you didn't learn from me and become fat. Otherwise, Miss Shi would cry and make a fuss and send you back. Then it would be a disgrace to our Xie family!"

Xie Jibai didn't say anything. He got on the carriage, took out the silver bills from his purse and took a look at them. Suddenly, he didn't want to say anything more.

Ten thousand taels!

Did the Shi family really rob the grassland royal court?

Back at Huaihua Lane, Second Master Xie rushed in happily, laughing, "Qingdai, Qingdai, Miss Shi has taken a fancy to your brother!"

Xie Qingdai put down her wolf-hair brush and said helplessly, "Dad, don't be so startled. You scared me and ruined my calligraphy. The marriage between Miss Shi and Ji Bai was granted by the imperial decree. Whether she likes him or not, she has to marry him."

Master Xie brought the brush washer, filled it with water, and helped his daughter wash the brush: “That’s different, if you like it, your wife won’t make trouble, and life will be smooth.

Look at the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion. The daughters-in-law are making a mess. The mansion has become a mess. The Duke Zhenguo's legitimate daughter has become a concubine of the prince, and he himself has no face in the court.

From their family's experience, your father concluded a truth: You can offend anyone, but never your wife. If your wife is happy, the family will be safe, and the man will be worry-free when doing things outside.

Xie Qingdai turned her sore wrist, lowered her dark eyes, and smiled faintly: "If Dad can understand this truth, our Xie family can be prosperous for another hundred years."

Mr. Xie laughed and gossiped with his daughter: "I heard yesterday that Miss Shi's eldest brother, whose wife was pregnant, died."

Xie Qingdai was stunned.

Judging from the time, the baby that Gong was pregnant with should be Shi Yunlang.

That poor child.

She sighed softly, "I will go to the small Buddhist temple to chant sutras to pray for the child's soul to be reborn."

Master Xie wanted to slap his daughter in the face, and hurriedly chased after her and said, "Didn't you decide to grow your hair? Why are you still chanting?"

"It doesn't matter whether I grow my hair or not, the Buddha is in my heart."

Master Xie was so angry that he wanted to stab Shi Mingchen with a knife immediately.

This bastard has ruined his daughter's life.

He had a son and a daughter, both of whom brought trouble to the Shi family - you can't be angry, you can't be angry, you can't afford to offend your future daughter-in-law.

Xie Jianwei chased to the door of the Buddhist temple with a grunt. Seeing that Xie Qingdai had already struck the wooden fish, his eyes dimmed. He clasped his hands together and bowed to the Buddha, then walked out.

The excitement of entering the palace to meet the emperor was gone.

Xie Qingdai recited a passage from the "Rebirth Sutra". The wooden fish stopped beating and her heart was at peace. She saw a figure standing beside her, so she turned around and asked, "Ji Bai, why are you standing there?"

Xie Jibai went in and worshipped the Buddha, then knelt on the mat and asked, "Sister, the girl from the Shi family gave me another 10,000 taels of silver and asked me to donate it to help the old, the young, the sick and the disabled, and to rescue the girls who have fallen into prostitution."

Xie Qingdai was slightly surprised and said with a smile: "She is quite different from the impression I had of her. She is like two different people. I guess it's because she has had a much smoother life in this life."

Xie Jibai already believed that Xie Qingdai had memories of her past life. He paused and asked, "Sister, what kind of person was Miss Shi in her past life? How should I get along with her?"

Xie Qingdai's legs felt a little numb, so she simply sat cross-legged on the cushion, with her skirt spreading around her like a blooming flower.

Xie Jibai inexplicably felt that at this moment, his sister was like the enshrined Buddha, sitting firmly on the lotus platform, and there was some Buddha nature on his sister's face.

He shook his head, his heart twitching slightly. How much injustice had his sister suffered in her previous life?

He would rather his sister return to the secular world than have any clarity of purpose.

Xie Qingdai smiled mysteriously: "Now I understand that a small change can affect the changes of major events in the country, not to mention a person's character. Miss Shi is no longer the same as in her previous life, so you can't look at her with the eyes of your previous life. As for you, just get along with each other naturally like an ordinary couple. There is only one thing you need to pay attention to."

"what?"

Xie Qingdai patted her brother's shoulder, suppressed her smile, and said solemnly: "Take good care of yourself, live well, and don't let her become a widow."

Xie Jibai: "..."

In the Shi family's carriage, Rong said with peace of mind: "Second Master Xie just said that the fifth prince Zhou Xu is still kneeling at the door of the imperial study today to be punished."

Le An Ning was winking at Shi Yao, and upon hearing this, he hurriedly said, "He deserves to be punished! He was obviously following... the Fourth Prince, but he used the Second Sister as a shield! The Emperor should punish him severely! If it weren't for the kindness of our family, he would have committed the crime of deceiving the Emperor, and he would have lost his head or his fiefdom!"

The person the Fifth Prince was following must be Shi Mingzhu.

Without evidence, she glanced at her sister-in-law Fu Nanjun and didn't dare to say anything.

Rong coughed lightly, glanced at Shi Yao who was indifferent, and said, "The emperor has already punished the fifth prince for following him. The fifth prince knelt in the imperial study for a whole day and night. The courtiers who came in and out to see His Majesty saw it all. He lost all his dignity.

Today, someone impeached the Fifth Prince for his poor governance of his fiefdom, which resulted in no taxes being collected and even unable to buy a decent horse. An elder suggested that the Fifth Prince's fiefdom be revoked to prevent him from continuing to harm the people of his fiefdom.

The emperor was furious, and punished the fifth prince to kneel in the imperial study and write a memorial on the development of his fiefdom on the spot. He could not stand up until the emperor was satisfied.

No one paid attention to the Fifth Prince before, but now that they have noticed him, they have discovered that he has flaws everywhere.

Shi Yao pondered, how could Second Master Xie know the news from the court?

I'm afraid that Second Master Xie only saw the Fifth Prince being punished to kneel, and the rest of the news was obtained by Rong from the Duke of Zhenguo → the Old Duke → the Second Wife Shen, but she just told it to her through Second Master Xie's mouth.

Make her happy?

Shi Yao just realized that Rong was acting strange today.

When did you become so kind?

It shouldn’t be necessary just for the Xie family’s money, right?

In the original novel, even if the Shi family wanted to seize the Xie family's money, they were high and mighty and acted secretly.

Shi Yao was blind to the reality and didn't think about herself at all.

Le An Ning desperately winked at Shi Yao: Look, look, second sister, you are really smart!

Shi Yao quickly turned her head to look out the window.

A beauty is a beauty, and her eyes can speak.

So...shameful!

Fu Nanjun covered his lips and laughed softly.

Rong was very happy to see them gloating over other people's misfortunes, and said hesitantly, "Second girl, Brother Fan is closest to you, can you persuade him?"
