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

Tang Songlin thought about it and didn't worry about who "Mr. Chu Sheng" was.

Who cares who wrote it? The key point is that his grandson has become successful now and has caught the eye of Emperor Mingde.

It can be seen between the lines of the article that Emperor Mingde liked his grandson very much.

Tang Songlin stared at the newspaper for a long time and read it over and over again, but he was actually no longer able to concentrate.

He just thought absentmindedly that his eldest son Tang Chuyu actually respected him very much over the years.

The eldest son became the Minister of Revenue at a young age, which shows that he is indeed capable.

He had always thought that his eldest son had a smooth career thanks to the help of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion. Now, when he compared him with the three children born to Zhu, he realized that there was a huge difference between them.

Tang Songlin gently covered himself with the newspaper, closed his eyes and thought of his late wife, and did not see the blood flowing from the corner of Zhu's mouth.

He thought of all the good qualities of his late wife, who was both intelligent and capable.

At that time, he had just inherited the title of Duke of Protector of the Country and had worked hard for a while. But he fell asleep while reading and accidentally knocked over the candlestick.

The candlelight set the study on fire. Although the fire was put out in time and did not burn, all the books on the table were destroyed.

Those were the books on family management theories and various books handed down from ancestors that the old duke left for him to read, all destroyed in an instant.

When he was angry and punished the servants, the late wife actually recited the book to him. The handwriting was also very elegant and fluent.

Not only was Tang Songlin not grateful to the late lady, he even hated her from the bottom of his heart.

Because how smart she is makes him look stupid.

It turns out that his grandson and granddaughter actually don’t look like their father or their mother, but more like their grandmother.

Tang Songlin felt a pain in his chest and said to Zhu, "Compared to my late wife, you are not even as good as her toes."

Zhu didn't respond.

A gust of wind blew, and Tang Songlin shivered in the sun. He sat up, carefully folded the newspaper, and put it in his arms, only to see Zhu lying there with blood spitting out of her mouth.

He reached out his hand and was terrified.

Zhu is gone.

Tang Songlin shivered. Not because his step-wife was gone, but because he remembered the rumor: at least four elderly people were affected by the evil spirit, some were seriously ill, and some were... three of them were gone now.

Is that what Mr. Yang Xuan said?

Tang Songlin felt as if a dark cloud was looming over his head, so he quickly went to find a fortune teller in the village who could ward off evil spirits to have his fortune told.

The fortune teller counted with his fingers and gave him an idea.

Tang Songlin followed the fortune teller's advice and had someone bury Zhu hastily without making it public.

"Can this break the evil spirit?" He was half-believing and half-doubting.

The fortune teller nodded and said, "Don't let anyone know about this, or you'll lose your life."

Tang Songlin nodded his head rapidly, "I know, I know, I won't say anything."

The fortune teller sent a letter to Shi Anxia to convey the news.

When Shi Anxia received the letter, he and his sister-in-law Wei Cailing were preparing the items needed for the Mo porcelain exhibition in order to dazzle the eyes of other countries and earn some money from them.

The main goal is to pluck the feathers of the passing geese, and we cannot let other countries just come and make a fuss without giving any money.

After reading the letter, she handed it to Wei Cailing.

Wei Cailing read through the entire article quickly, "Grandfather is indeed a man who cherishes his life. Mrs. Zhu is relieved. By keeping the news secret, my uncle and Xinghe won't have to observe mourning."

Shi Anxia said calmly, "It's mainly because she doesn't deserve it. Who should she blame for ending up like this?"

As they were talking, Hong Que came to report that the mistress of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion had gone straight to Yu Sheng Pavilion with Madam An Guo.

Finally, Hong Que asked, "Madam, do you want to join in the fun?"

Shi Anxia said angrily, "You want to join in the fun and see what Madam Anguo looks like, right?"

Hong Que laughed, "It's like a fairy from heaven. Don't I want to see it with my own eyes?"

"She's not a celestial being, but she's very pretty, and her beauty is different from that of the noble ladies in the capital." Shi Anxia pointed at Xiao Hongque's forehead and said lovingly, "You can go and take a look. When they leave, please invite Madam Anguo to come and sit in the Lan Courtyard."

"Hehe, Madam, you really love me!" Hongque was so happy that she ran away.

Wei Cailing couldn't help laughing, "You really dote on this girl, just like your sister."

Shi Anxia said, "Some sisters are sisters, and some sisters are not sisters, but enemies. Look at the commotion that Madam Anguo's sister is making, isn't it quite awkward?"

Wei Cailing suddenly remembered something. "Prince Song has been coming to the Marquis's Mansion frequently to look for my aunt recently. He has been asking my aunt to return to the Earl's Mansion, saying that the child cannot leave his mother. I don't know if my aunt wants to go back."

"She probably won't go back." Shi Anxia smiled. "The children born to my grandmother all have one thing in common. They may be a little stupid, but they love me very much and think of me more than anyone else. My eldest aunt's body is still warm, and I can still remember it clearly. My youngest aunt is living a worse life than my eldest aunt. Is she going back to die?"

At least the eldest aunt can still control the Qiu family, but the younger aunt is the one who suffers.

At dusk, Wei Cailing went back to the Marquis's residence, while Liang Yanbing, led by Hong Que, came to Tinglan Courtyard.

Shi Anxia had prepared tea for her.

Liang Yanbing came in and was about to bow, Shi Anxia hurriedly said, "Madam Anguo, there is no need to be polite, sit down."

After sitting down, Liang Yanbing stared at Shi Anxia intently, "I don't know why, but I always feel that the princess and I are very compatible."

Shi Anxia smiled gently, "Me too, I get close to Madam as soon as I see her."

The two smiled at each other.

Liang Yanbing said, "I heard from my husband that he was able to be transferred back to the capital from Huizhou to take up a post thanks to the efforts of the princess and her husband."

Shi Anxia neither admitted nor denied it, "Master Gao must have the ability to take on such a big responsibility."

Liang Yanbing was just testing her at first, but now she knows the truth. It seems that the rumors are true, Princess Haiyan is indeed favored by Emperor Mingde.

She asked, "I suppose the princess asked me to come here not to chat about family matters?"

Shi Anxia got straight to the point, "To be honest, Madam Anguo, I want to inquire about a certain medicine."

When this was mentioned, Liang Yanbing became interested, "What kind of medicine?"

"That's it..." Shi Anxia said hesitantly, "Ma Fei San, it seems to be called anesthetic. I don't understand it either, I heard about it from my husband. I wonder if Madam Anguo has heard of it?"

Liang Yanbing shook her head. "I've never heard of it. What is it used for?"

Shi Anxia explained the whole story, "My mother suffered a lot a long time ago. Her bones were broken, and she didn't get timely treatment, so the bones healed on their own and became crooked."

Liang Yanbing understood immediately, "Now we need to break the bones that have grown back and then reconnect them?"

Shi Anxia nodded, "We have found the best bone-repairing ointment, but I am worried that my mother will feel pain. Although she said it was nothing and she could hold on, I really couldn't bear it. My husband said that there should be something in this world called Ma Fei San. If she used this thing, she would lose consciousness. Even if the bones were broken again, she would not feel pain. Madam Anguo is proficient in medicine, so I want to ask..."

Liang Yanbing smiled, "This thing, then you are asking the right person."

Shi Anxia was overjoyed, "Really? You have this medicine?"
