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

Chen Jikang was originally grieving over the misfortunes of his daughters. Just now he heard from the servants that his two daughters had committed suicide, so he hurried over to check on them.

Who would have thought that he would hear the truth about his two daughters losing their virginity? He felt extremely ironic for a moment. He turned around and strode away.

After calming down, Chen Jikang consulted with his wife Yao that night and decided to let Yao go to Shi Anxia to have a good talk.

He was well aware of his adopted son's stubbornness and had to take a radical approach for his daughter's sake.

Yao also suddenly felt that Shi Anxia should be a person with a gentle personality, easy to talk to, and well-educated.

Only those who have experienced the rain know how cold it is.

Miss Shi has been living outside since she was a child. She must have experienced the fickleness of human nature and knows how dangerous the world is.

If she described her daughters' experiences in a more miserable way, it would surely arouse Shi Anxia's sympathy for her two daughters.

Chen Jikang said, "You must make it clear that you are not really asking Cen Yuan to take a concubine, but only a concubine in name only."

Yao has already communicated this to her two daughters.

The two daughters nodded in agreement, saying that they would be obedient and good and would not cause trouble again. They would behave themselves and would just be nominal concubines of Cen Yuan.

In this way, the entire Chen family reached a consensus and felt that this method was foolproof.

As long as Miss Shi nodded, Cen Yuan couldn't say anything. It was just to take up a position, not to ask him to really take a concubine.

Of course, as time goes by, what if Cen Yuan finally figures it out and changes his mind?

The next day, Yao prepared a speech, gathered her emotions, and came to the Marquis of Jian'an's mansion with generous gifts.

Cen Yuan received the news the moment Yao stepped into the Manhua Hall in the Begonia Courtyard of the Marquis' Mansion.

"Young Master, do you want to ask her to leave?" asked the subordinate Jin Qi.

Cen Yuan said calmly, "If she likes to run into obstacles, let her do it." After a pause, he continued, "This is the last time that the cotton shipped from Cangzhou to Suzhou will be sold at a low price. Next time, we will sell it to the Chen family at the market price."

Jin Qi agreed and asked, "What about the Chen family in Yucheng?"

"The price remains the same." Cen Yuan ordered, "But you have to ask Uncle Chen to make two sets of account books."

Jin Qi understood that the Chen family in the capital had been abandoned. The young master really supported his third uncle, Chen Jili.

Jin Qi was still worried, "Young Master, should we go and remind Miss Shi?"

Cen Yuan said, "No need." It was such a small matter, it would not be difficult for his little girl to handle it.

In the Manhua Hall, Yao was sitting on a chair with red eyes.

Before Shi Anxia came in, he looked around outside the door for a while before entering the hall.

The woman in front of him was somewhat similar to the older man in the portrait, but because she had been well maintained and had a round and plump figure, she looked even more beautiful than that man.

But in terms of temperament, she is still far behind most noble ladies in the capital.

However, because she was Cen Yuan's nominal adoptive mother, Shi Anxia still performed the etiquette of a junior before taking her seat.

This was also the first time Yao met Shi Anxia.

It goes without saying that this daughter of the Marquis's family is of noble character, especially in her posture when walking and sitting.

The calmness in her every move and even the words she spoke clearly showed humility and courtesy, but for no reason she gave people an indescribable majesty.

Yao didn't remember a single word of the speech she had prepared. She stammered and sweated anxiously, and none of her clever opening remarks were used.

Shi Anxia, ​​on the other hand, was very calm, "Mrs. Chen, if you have something to say, please feel free to speak up."

Yao's eyes were red, and she tried hard to put on a smile, "Xia'er, don't call me 'Mrs. Chen', it's so strange. You can follow Yuan'er and call me 'Aunt'."

Shi Anxia smiled slightly, "Etiquette cannot be abolished, so just call her Madam Chen."

The implication is that it was also very abrupt for the other party to call her "Xia'er".

Sometimes, one can tell whether people can get close to each other just by looking at each other. Obviously, she and Mrs. Chen in front of her could not get close at all.

Shi Anxia doesn't care who the Chen family has done favors to, as long as they haven't done her a favor, then don't expect her to go against her wishes.

Yao's smile froze on her face, and gradually changed. Her eyes and eyebrows turned red, and finally she shed tears, "My dear child, you have suffered a lot during those years when you were missing..."

Shi Anxia: "..."

Suddenly, this happened. Maybe something happened to the two sisters in the portrait? Was it to arouse her sympathy?

She remained calm, "Fortunately, I didn't suffer much."

How can that be? You are suffering! You must be suffering to be able to empathize! Yao's tears welled up even more, "No, no, no, my dear child, you don't have to hide in front of me. Where is the good thing out there? You must be suffering, you are suffering a lot... My heart aches so much..."

Shi Anxia raised her eyebrows, "So Madam Chen hopes that I will suffer a lot and be tortured outside?"

"Ah?" Yao's heart ached when she thought of her daughter, but she forgot to cry at this moment. "No, no, no, no! Of course I hope you're well."

Shi Anxia smiled slightly, "That's it. I said I didn't suffer much, so of course I didn't suffer. Madam Chen, don't worry about it."

Yao just felt so tired talking to Shi Anxia. Why didn't she play by the rules?

There was no other way, so she could only risk everything. She stood up and walked to Shi Anxia, ​​holding her hands tightly with both hands, "Miss Shi, I have no other choice. Please save my daughter, please save my daughter, okay?"

Shi Anxia pulled his hand away and said distantly, "Madam Chen, please speak up if you have something to say. Besides, when Madam Chen is out there now, her every move represents the Chen Mansion of the Baron of Fuguo. I think Madam Chen should be more careful about her words and actions."

Yao shook her head and just kept crying, "My dear girl, you don't know what happened to my two daughters outside yesterday. As a mother, I feel extremely regretful whenever I think about it... If my daughters hadn't made Yuan'er unhappy, the master wouldn't have sent the two daughters to the ship to Suzhou overnight. Who would have known, who would have known..."

She sobbed intermittently, and it seemed that she was putting the blame on Cen Yuan.

Shi Anxia understood.

The two girls from the Chen family in the portrait were rejected because they liked Cen Yuan and were sent on a ship to Suzhou.

As a result, the two girls ran away and something happened.

What could possibly happen to these two girls? The worst thing that could happen was that they were robbed of their money and their sex.

So the plan was to pin the blame for the accident involving the two girls on Cen Yuan and have Cen Yuan clean up the mess for the two girls.

Shi Anxia nodded, "Yes, it is indeed worthy of sympathy. So the purpose of Mrs. Chen's visit is..."

The words were about to be spoken, and Yao took the opportunity to take over, "Miss Shi, you also know how miserable it is for a girl to go through this. The Lord is a man who cares about his reputation, and he is afraid that this matter will get out. We thought about it and thought, why not let Yuan'er take them both as concubines."

Shi Anxia scraped the tea foam with the tea lid, smiling from ear to ear, "I haven't even gotten married yet, and your Chen family is already thinking about shoving someone in here. Isn't that a bit too much? One isn't enough, so you're shoving two in. Haha..."

Madam Yao saw that Shi Anxia was a little angry, so she hurriedly explained, "No, no, no, Miss Shi, you misunderstood. A concubine in name only! Not a real concubine. As long as we give them a place to settle down and not tarnish the reputation of our Baron's Mansion, that's enough."

Shi Anxia put the tea bowl on the table with a muffled sound, and her tone was still very calm, "Madam Chen, it's broad daylight, are you still half asleep and talking nonsense? What beautiful things are you thinking about!"
