Luo Ercai began taking action that afternoon.
He reported that he had bought a three-courtyard house in Dongcheng.
Then I went to the west courtyard to inform them to move, and sure enough, a commotion broke out there shortly afterward.
This time, Qi Mengshu was carried over.
Pale-faced and weak, she was helped down from the sedan chair by her maid.
Standing in the Qingluan Courtyard, she was like a small white flower battered by rain, her eyes brimming with tears, gasping for breath as she spoke.
"Ahem, sister... please don't be so heartless. My brother and I can move out of the palace... ahem!"
“Your mother is old, a widow, and an elder to you… Your uncle takes care of your mother out of gratitude for my father’s filial piety towards our grandparents. Please don’t treat her like this.”
"Cough cough cough... It's all my fault, I upset you... Cough, shall I kneel down and beg you?"
He was about to kneel down when he spoke, but his eyes were fixed on her, and his knees were half-soft.
Ultimately, it seemed difficult for him to kneel down, and he remained frozen in place.
Xiao Zhixing chuckled and gestured to Hongmei.
Hongmei pulled out the account books they had compiled that morning and said loudly:
“Young lady, listen carefully. To take care of Consort Meng, the Prince has provided the main branch with two estates worth five thousand taels of silver, five shops worth ten thousand taels of silver, two thousand acres of prime farmland, thirty servants, thirty thousand taels of silver, and five hundred taels of gold. The Prince has also made arrangements for Young Master Meng Li’s studies, your marriage, and Consort Meng’s funeral.”
The implication is that if such care is not enough, then it's a joke.
Tell me, in the whole world, whose brothers are so generous?
I never expected that some people would be so ungrateful as to raise such a bunch of heartless wolves. Xiao Yuanshan is truly a great victim.
Qi Mengshu stood there, his face alternating between pale and green, as if he had been stripped naked under the sunlight, his thoughts laid bare.
She felt it wasn't enough and wanted to continue to benefit from the Prince's Mansion. Perhaps she didn't just want to benefit from it; if given the chance, she might kill Xiao Zhixing and usurp his position.
Xiao Zhi walked down the steps and stood not far from her, curious:
"I'm puzzled, what else could you possibly be dissatisfied with? You've caused all this trouble because you think Prince Feng isn't good enough for you?"
They don't even know their place.
A concubine's daughter became the principal wife of the heir of a marquis's family, all because the Feng family was considering the Wang family's position.
Grandpa Qi is a peasant with no background, so why is Qi Mengshu being so picky?
It wasn't that Xiao Zhixing looked down on children born out of wedlock.
She treats every enemy and friend equally and appreciates anyone who strives for improvement.
To be frank, regarding this matter, given the clear class distinctions of that era, did Qi Mengshu have absolutely no self-awareness?
Moreover, even if you want to climb the social ladder, you can't scheme against people for no reason.
And the scheme was even against his own family members; it was both stupid and wicked.
Xiao Zhixing's heart stirred, and he activated the "Dao Zhan" scan to scan Qi Mengshu.
Hmm? There's no system, it's just that her magnetic field is off.
Xiao Zhixing immediately became interested; something must have happened to Qi Mengshu.
She hadn't looked closely before, but now she'll look at it a little more carefully.
She noticed that the man's eyes and demeanor were very mature, even carrying a hint of old age.
What kind of extraordinary encounter is this? —This is important and must be marked.
However, she did not investigate further.
No matter what extraordinary encounters she may have, the path she chose and the things she did were destined to be incompatible with her own nature.
Whether they are insignificant or enemies, the worst that can happen is that they are simply wiped out.
Qi Mengshu left in a huff, and then there was another commotion in the west courtyard, apparently because the mother and daughter had a fight.
Luo Ercai was very capable. Since they refused to move, he personally supervised the process and sent people to move the belongings from the west courtyard to that side.
In short, they have no choice but to leave.
Xiao Zhixing had a good dream all night.
The next day, right after breakfast, people from the Feng residence arrived; it was Feng Min and his mother.
Feng Min sat next to his mother with an expressionless face, showing neither joy nor sorrow.
The smile on Feng's mother's lips could not be suppressed.
He was incredibly kind to her as soon as he came in, and seemed eager to see her.
Xiao Zhixing was too lazy to argue and sent someone to the west courtyard to call Qi Mengshu and her daughter.
They didn't even show their faces.
They only sent tokens and a marriage certificate, and then each of them took back the tokens and the marriage certificate, officially annulling the engagement.
With a bright smile, Madam Feng bid farewell, "Princess, I won't keep you any longer. Also, my husband will write to the Prince to explain this matter. Farewell."
Xiao Zhixing nodded and had someone escort them.
Feng Min walked to the door and glanced back at her.
Xiao Zhixing remained expressionless.
She hadn't forgotten that he was also involved in falling into the water, so she wouldn't give him a friendly look.
Feng Min left with a sullen face.
Xiao Zhixing scoffed, "That's a problem."
Is this person after the original owner of this body? Or is it after the original owner's identity?
After all, Xiao Yuanshan controlled all the military forces in the country and had the most elite Xiao Family Army under his command, wielding immense power.
Her only daughter is indeed someone to be remembered.
There will always be a chance to get revenge later, no rush.
She needs to sort out her own territory first.
In the afternoon, she came up with a reward and punishment system, a very simple linear management style that focuses on the issue, not the person.
The capable rise and the incompetent fall. She only talks to those who take charge. If a problem arises in someone's area, she holds them accountable.
Luo Ercai, Hongmei, Xuemei, and their mother all took charge of their respective tasks, while she was in overall charge, which made her life easier.
On the third day, people from the Li family came; it was Li Jun and Madam Li.
The mother and son visited the place in the afternoon after the post was placed in the morning.
Li Jun looked somewhat frustrated and helpless, while her mother's dignified face remained expressionless, her smile stiff.
Especially when Qi Mengshu and her daughter rushed to show up.
Xiao Zhixing watched the play and drank tea, letting Aunt Meng chat enthusiastically with Mother Li.
Unfortunately, some people didn't want to talk to her.
