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

You know what, Dong Yuwei’s trip was really in vain this time.

Three days later, Zhou and Mu Gui were each beaten with twenty sticks and fined one hundred taels before being released.

However, there was a legal advisor in the yamen named Sun Long, who was the brother-in-law of the wife of Zhou Yunxiang's subordinate, and he suffered misfortune.

Not only was he beaten with twenty sticks and fined one hundred taels, he was also expelled from the government office.

Fortunately, this lawyer did not really tamper with the official records. He just made a fake official record to fool Mu Feng out of favor to help Zhou.

However, the real records still show that Jing'an Teahouse belongs to the third branch of the Mu family, and the shop on Rongfu Street belongs to the first branch of the Mu family.

Zhou always believed that Sun Long had really changed the government records, and she was so frightened that she suffered from epilepsy.

Sun Long saved his own life by not tampering with the official records, and also saved the lives of Zhou's mother and son.

After the government office found out the whole story, it asked Mu Feng for his opinion and made a mandatory decision to change the ownership of the two shops.

This time, Jing'an Teahouse truly fell into Mu Gui's hands, and the shop on Rongfu Street finally fell into the name of Shi Anxia.

Shi Anxia gave Mu Feng a shop as compensation as agreed. The shop was estimated at the market price, which was equivalent to the one on Rongfu Street, so the Mu family didn't suffer any loss.

At this point, the case was closed. And because the shop had changed hands, the first wife of the Mu family had no reason to cause trouble for the third wife.

After Zhou returned home, he suffered several more episodes of epilepsy and was beaten with twenty sticks. Now he lies dying and has no strength to show off as usual.

When Zhou's father learned what his daughter had done, and how she had been using his name to get people around her to do things for years, he was so ashamed and angry that he handed in his resignation and returned home.

Zhou could no longer claim to be the daughter of an official in the Mu family, and looked down on the daughters of merchants.

After this move, the third branch of the Mu family, especially Mu Feng, began to work for Shi Anxia in a down-to-earth manner.

Shi Anxia was also a generous person, and she would not deduct money from the Mu family. She knew very well that if you wanted the horse to run fast, you had to feed it well.

She was attracted by Mu Feng's delicate and pleasant work style. Such people often showed superhuman wisdom in some major events. And from her observation, most of the third branch of the Mu family were truly down-to-earth and loyal businessmen.

After the "Heshu" teahouse officially opened on Rongfu Street, due to the appeal of Shi Anxia and Shi Yunqi, and the elegant and unique decoration, which deeply suited the thoughts of the great scholars, word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, the teahouse business was extremely prosperous.

Shi Anxia and Mu Feng split the profits 50-50, and the two sides cooperated very happily.

On the other hand, Jing'an Teahouse closed down completely due to poor management.

Mu Gui wanted to get rid of the burden, and without asking Zhou's opinion, he put up a sign saying it was for sale at a low price and sold it for fifty taels of silver.

By the time Zhou found out, Jing'an Teahouse had become a branch of "Heshu" Teahouse.

The boss is still Princess Haiyan Shi Anxia.

Zhou felt very sad to see that the teahouse, which used to be deserted, was now thriving.

But no matter how upset she felt, she didn't dare to ask Shi Anxia to go back to the teahouse, nor did she dare to go to the third room to make trouble.

But seeing that the third and second wives all took refuge with Princess Haiyan, he was filled with jealousy and anger, and even had epileptic seizures from time to time, causing his children and grandchildren to dislike him, and his master also disliked him. Soon he closed his eyes and his emotions disappeared completely.

This is something.

But after Shi Anxia handed Zhou's mother and son over to the Dongyu Guards that night, she returned to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion with Cen Yuan.

Her aunt really cared about their family and prepared three courtyards.

One courtyard belongs to Tang Chujun, and it is decorated according to the way it was before she got married.

For this matter, Zheng Qiaoer specifically found Nanny Zhong to ask her quietly about where the dressing table and the table were placed, and tried her best to restore them one by one.

They were even more considerate to the two couples of newlyweds, and set up two bedrooms in one yard, both of which were furnished with carefully selected high-quality furniture.

Several people lived in the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion and were truly comfortable and happy.

The main purpose of Tang Chujun's visit to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion this time was to give money and gifts.

She knew that in order to compensate the Ming family, the Huguogong Mansion handed over most of the silver to Emperor Mingde. So Tang Chuyu was equivalent to taking over the empty shell of the Huguogong Mansion.

Tang Chujun gave half of his property to his brother without hesitation.

Zheng Qiaoer naturally refused, saying that her dowry was rich and could fully support the Huguogong Mansion. "It is said that dowry is a woman's confidence, but your brother does not take concubines, and he does not make trouble. I am happy to use my dowry to subsidize the Huguogong Mansion."

Her words were sweet and came from the bottom of her heart. The couple had been married for nearly twenty years, and except for the fact that they had been a little annoyed by Zhu earlier, they had always lived a happy life.

Tang Chuyu's heart was all on Zheng Qiaoer, and he had never flirted with other women. This was what Zheng Qiaoer was most relieved about, so she was willing to use her dowry to subsidize the Huguogong Mansion.

Tang Chujun shook his head and said, "My brother gave me most of the things that mother left behind. In fact, how could I need so much? Especially you know how good my Xia Er is at making money. Are you still worried that I won't have enough food and clothes? Sister-in-law, just take it, don't be polite to me. If you are polite again, I will be embarrassed to come back and live here next time."

Zheng Qiaoer really couldn't refuse, so she accepted her sister-in-law's kindness, "Mr. Chu, thank you. If you want to come back to live in the future, the Duke of Huguo Mansion will always welcome you. This will always be your home."

Tang Chujun looked into Zheng Qiaoer's sincere eyes and listened to her heartwarming words, and he felt that his life had suddenly become smoother.

People say that women have a hard time after divorce, but she is just the opposite, living an indescribably happy life.

In fact, her sister-in-law has always been very good to her. In the past, she would send all the delicious food and clothes to the Marquis' Mansion.

She herself ignored the kindness of the people around her. "Sister-in-law, I will come back often in the future. Please don't think I'm annoying."

"How can that be possible! I wish you could come back and live with me. We can go shopping and watch a play when we have free time. It would be good for us to have some company. Your brother is so busy!"

"The higher the official position, the busier the job."

Zheng Qiaoer asked tentatively, "Mr. Chu, are you planning to live alone like this for the rest of your life?"

Tang Chujun laughed and said, "How can I be alone? Aren't I a family?"

Zheng Qiaoer also smiled and rolled her eyes at her, "Don't play tricks on me, you know what I mean." She leaned over and got close to her sister-in-law, "Do you still have Shi Chengyi in your heart?"

Hearing this, Tang Chujun was neither moved nor stunned, but just shook his head calmly, "What's past is past. In fact, even before, he and I didn't meet many times, but I just felt that a man should be like this, bright and clear."

Zheng Qiao'er was a little dissatisfied. "I'm not saying bad things about Yu Sujun. Sujun is a good person. Shi Chengyi is also a good person. But I don't know why, I feel that it's really heartbreaking to see these two together. The world is so big, there's no woman you can't find, no man you can't find. Why do they have to be together, and they're hanging around right under your nose?"

Isn't this disgusting?

Tang Chujun looked at the roses blooming in the garden outside the window and smiled lightly, "It's fate. People who are destined to be together can always be together, and people who are not destined to be together, even if they stand opposite each other, you can't reach them. I don't want to think about anything now, I just want to do what I want to do."
