The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

When Tang Chujun saw Shi Chengxuan being silent but his eyes moving around sneakily, he thought that he had bad intentions and was going to cause trouble.

It was her daughter who proposed the division of the family, and she would not allow anyone to object, especially Shi Chengxuan, who was more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything.

At this time, Yu Sujun said, "Everyone, we appreciate your kindness. Now that the division has been made, don't change it. If everyone has no objection, then let's do it this way. However, the division is the division, and if you want to live in the original place of the Marquis's Mansion, you can continue to live there; if you want to live outside, that's also fine."

This old house of the Marquis's Mansion was allocated to the eldest wife. After all, Shi Chengyi was the crown prince and would inherit the title in the future.

But they are also willing to divide the house according to the original residence and let their younger brothers and sisters move in, but they will not receive any more shares and will have to bear all expenses themselves.

Once you choose to live here, you must follow all the rules of the main house and are not allowed to make decisions on your own.

In this division of the family, the eldest branch suffered a lot of loss, it was really real compensation.

This almost hollowed out the entire Marquisate.

As for Yunqi Academy, it is the academy of the Marquis' Mansion on the surface, and it is also the most valuable thing in the Marquis' Mansion nowadays.

But Yunqi Academy was founded by Shi Anxia, ​​and Tang Chujun paid for all the expenses, and not a single penny from the Marquis's Mansion was used.

The marquis's mansion only had a yard and a piece of land.

Yu Sujun said, "That courtyard and land will all be given to Yunqi Academy. Yunqi Academy is the private property of the second house."

Everyone had no objection, and no one cared about the yard or the land.

Shi Chengyi and Yu Sujun wanted to settle all their earlier debts, so they returned all the dowry left by their late wife to Shi Anxin to the Yuan family.

In this way, Shi Chengyi and his wife were a bit penniless and wanted to start from scratch again, with a strong determination to be reborn from the ashes.

Shi Yunzhou gave a speech, "Don't worry, mother. Your son will study hard and become as good as brother Yunqi, crushing his opponent to death on the stage."

Shi Yunqi: “…” Is this the example I set for children?

Shi Anxue expressed her gratitude, "Don't worry, mother. I will definitely learn from sister Xia'er and work hard to become a good girl that everyone loves and dogs like."

Shi Anxia: “…” Your choice of words and sentences has surpassed me!

Everyone was delighted and divided the property happily. They negotiated, made a contract, and finalized it in the form of written evidence.

At this time, the elders of the clan, headed by the patriarch, were also invited to bear witness. They inquired and confirmed all aspects of the written evidence, such as the support arrangements, property distribution, and follow-up issues. Finally, all relevant members signed and sealed the agreement.

Yu Sujun had already reported the matter of dividing the family to the old marquis and explained the plan to him clearly.

Of course, the old marquis must live with their eldest wife.

The old marquis is not thinking about this now, but about how to break the evil spirit and save his life first.

So he agreed in a daze. When he woke up, the people were still there, but the family was gone. He sat in the dark and cried, feeling more lonely and desolate than ever before.

There was another person in the mansion, who was like a wandering ghost, running around in a panic, not knowing what to do.

That is Shi Wanzhen, who has been living in the Marquis' Mansion and has not returned home.

She watched with her own eyes as her mother left the Marquis' Mansion, her eldest sister left the Marquis' Mansion, her father became seriously ill, the Marquis' Mansion almost collapsed, and finally the family fell apart.

She saw everything.

As for her, she didn't dare to go back to her uncle's house, and she couldn't stay in her parents' home any longer.

Shi Wanzhen walked in the cool night and arrived at Xia Shiyuan.

Bursts of laughter came from inside, as if the maids had received rewards from the young lady and were showing off to each other; or as if they were competing to see who could cook the better dish, and each of them was shouting in a coquettish manner, "Young lady, come and judge."

Then it was Shi Anxia's voice, "Then I have to be honest, Hongyan is indeed more talented than you in this area. She is the one who makes the best food."

Hongyan! Qiu Hongyan!

The illegitimate daughter brought by the eldest sister!

Now I am getting closer and closer to Shi Anxia, ​​and my life is very comfortable.

One day she saw Qiu Hongyan and found that she had grown taller in the few days she hadn't seen her. Her face had become rounder, her complexion had become rosy and tender, her facial features had matured, and she was becoming more and more beautiful.

Shi Wanzhen suddenly remembered that she had once told her children to stay away from Shi Anxia and not to associate with this niece who had been living away from home since childhood.

If she had not been so snobbish at the beginning, could she have lived happily like Hongyan?

Come to think of it, Hongyan has nothing to do with their Marquis' Mansion.

Or maybe when she was beaten up by Prince Song, Shi Anxia would really bring her guards to rescue her and stand up for her.

Just as I was lost in thought, I heard a pleasant voice floating over, "Aunt, do you have something to talk to me about?"

That was her niece Shi Anxia!

Shi Wanzhen felt inexplicably embarrassed, "No, it's okay, I'm fine."

Shi Anxia thought for a moment, "Is my aunt hungry? Hongyan made some coconut-flavored glutinous rice dumplings. They are soft and sticky, and very delicious. Would you like to try some?"

Shi Wanzhen was used to her niece talking back to her, glaring at her, laughing at her, and looking down on her, but she was not used to her niece being so kind to her.

Somehow, a heat rushed to her eyes, causing her whole body to tremble uncontrollably.

It's exciting!

My niece took the initiative to call her "little aunt" and invited her to eat glutinous rice dumplings!

But she was embarrassed, so she shook her head and said, "No, I won't try it."

Shi Anxia said gently, "Okay."

Shi Wanzhen: “!!!” The heat in her eyes suddenly faded away.

I'm just being polite. Are you sure you don't want to keep me here?

When she looked up, she saw her niece, who had not yet reached marriage age, smiling slyly.

My niece fooled me again! She was teasing me!

The bright white moonlight and the light red lanterns intertwined, reflecting the little niece's face. Shi Wanzhen discovered for the first time that her little niece was so beautiful.

This time she felt it looked good from the bottom of her heart.

My niece looks so much like my second sister-in-law! Why did I think she couldn't be my second brother's daughter? She couldn't be the eldest daughter of the second branch of the Marquis's mansion?

How bad-mouthed did she have to be to speak ill of her niece?

That warmth filled my eyes again.

The next second, I heard my niece's instructions, "Bring a food box and fill some glutinous rice cakes for my aunt to take home and taste." After she finished her instructions, she added, "It's late at night, so I won't invite my aunt in to sit down. If I'm free another day, I'll invite my niece to have tea with me."

Shi Wanzhen wanted to agree with a smile, but as soon as she opened her mouth, her lips turned down and her eyes were filled with moisture.

Shi Anxia asked, "Aunt, do you think your niece looks pitiful, or... unlucky? Why do you look so sad?"

Shi Wanzhen hurriedly shook her head and clarified, "No, no, I just didn't. I didn't expect you to call me little aunt."

Shi Anxia's smile gradually faded, and he said seriously, "My aunt and I don't have a deep hatred. The money he ripped off my mother's shop last time was also paid in full, and we've written it off."

Shi Wanzhen nodded quickly.

Shi Anxia asked, "Does the little aunt hate me for taking your farm?"

Shi Wanzhen thought about it seriously for a long time before she said, "I don't hate you anymore! The manor is worth a bit to you, put it in my hands... Haha, in the end it won't fall into my hands anyway."

Shi Anxia nodded. "My aunt doesn't hate me. Besides gossiping a little, she hasn't done anything annoying to me and my mother. It's reasonable for me to call you aunt. After all, you are still my father's sister."

Shi Wanzhen suddenly deeply understood what Shi Anxia said that day: If I recognize you, you are my aunt; if I don’t recognize you, you are nothing.

Now, her vicious niece recognized her!

But it was only because she hadn't done anything outrageous that she was acknowledged. Once she committed an unforgivable mistake like her elder sister Shi Wanqing, she would really not be acknowledged.

Shi Wanzhen's heart inexplicably calmed down at this moment. Her originally chaotic mood was suddenly smoothed out.

She asked carefully, "Does what you said that day still count?"

Shi Anxia raised her eyebrows, "Which day? What did I say?"

She has said so many wise sayings, who knows which one of them woke up this little aunt?
