Chapter 170: An embarrassing gift
Yao Minzhi glanced at Yao Zhixue, and his tone turned cold: "What did I teach you on a daily basis? You have to smile when facing everyone. How do you know that you are still in such a plight today, and there will be no change tomorrow?"
There was no one else in the room, and the tone of voice between Yao Zhixue and Yao Tingzhi did not sound like that of a couple at all.
"Mom, this Yao is too stupid." Yao Zhixue couldn't imagine that someone like Yao Minzhi could actually be in charge of the power in Baili Mansion.
Yao Tingzhi did not refute Yao Zhixue's evaluation. His sister was indeed stupid, but stupid people also have good fortune.
The marriage she had planned was originally planned by her grandfather for Yao Minzhi, but she thought that the family was well-off, so she designed a plan to snatch the marriage away.
No one had expected that the old lady would actually want the Yao family to find a daughter to marry Baili Ting. For a merchant girl to be able to enter the officialdom was truly a blessing that she had accumulated over several lifetimes.
Yao Tingzhi was filled with hatred, but she knew that she was already married and it would be impossible for her to remarry, so she missed that good opportunity.
Later, her husband had an affair and she was driven away by her husband's family because she did not give birth to a son.
How could the Yao family accept that he brought his daughter here? So they sent her away, saying that they wanted her to go there to manage the business, but in fact, they just let her fend for herself.
If she hadn't been smart and managed the business to be prosperous, and if the old master hadn't had anyone available, how could he have let her go to Beijing?
It's ridiculous that only Yao would believe such an excuse to avoid rumors.
"Zhixue, remember, only when a person is valuable can he not be abandoned. I have raised you to this age, please don't let me down."
Yao Zhixue understood what Yao Ting meant. She simply hoped that after she came to Baili Mansion, she would seize the opportunity and stay there.
"Mom, I won't let you down." Yao Zhixue said.
Yao Tingzhi nodded: "That's good, you should go to bed early, you didn't get enough rest last night."
Yao Zhixue walked out of the room and closed the door gently...
Time passed quickly, and soon it was Su Siyi's birthday.
Su Siyi originally did not enjoy much favor from Emperor Jing of Wei, but now that Consort Shu is temporarily in charge of the six palaces, her status and position are no longer the same as before, so Su Siyi's birthday banquet was held on a larger scale than in previous years.
The birthday banquet was held that evening. When Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing entered the palace, it was already getting dark. As soon as they handed the birthday gifts to the palace servants, Concubine Shu came up to greet them: "Feng Yi, Prince Consort, you are finally here. The palace has been waiting for a long time."
Su Siyi ran out from behind Concubine Shu, and hugged Baili Yanqing's waist: "Brother Prince Consort, I haven't seen you for a long time."
Baili Yanqing picked up Su Siyi and said, "Your Highness the Fifth Prince is heavier than before. It seems that you have really grown up."
"I'm still growing taller. In a few years, I'll be able to hold you in my arms."
"You, can't just grow taller. I have to ask your teacher how your studies are going recently..." Baili Yanqing walked inside while holding Su Siyi.
