Chapter 75
"Sister Yao, could there be some misunderstanding?" Even Madam Jin didn't expect that it was actually proposed by the Marquis of Yongning.
You know, the Marquis of Yongning is timid, and Lady Yao is the daughter of a military family. The Marquis of Yongning basically listens to Lady Yao in everything.
Although Lady Yao has a fiery temper, she has never been an unreasonable person.
How dare the Marquis of Yongning propose to send the children to Rushan Academy?
"That scoundrel doesn't know who's words he's listened to. When I get back and find out, I'll definitely give Sister Li an explanation," Lady Yao gritted her teeth and said. She was extremely annoyed in her heart. She didn't know who it was that had set a trap for Jiang Hanhai.
It was just that this fool believed it.
Afterwards, he even dragged her to the manor. It was simply adding insult to injury.
"Sister, in this capital city, have you offended anyone?" After listening, Lin Ziyi also felt that something was wrong. Looking at Li Zhiwei in confusion, she asked.
"I just arrived in the capital. If we're talking about offending someone, apart from the Ruan Marquis Residence and the Leng family, I haven't had any conflicts with others," Li Zhiwei shook her head and said.
"The Ruan Marquis Residence and the Leng family should be too busy to care about you now. Is there anyone else?" Lin Ziyi thought for a while and shook her head.
"Anyone else?" Just as Li Zhiwei was about to deny it, she suddenly thought of someone.
Zhou Yuying. But didn't Xu Heming take care of that person?
"Have you thought of someone?" Lin Ziyi asked expectantly.
"No," Li Zhiwei gritted her teeth and still didn't tell others her guess. After all, she had no evidence to prove that Zhou Yuying was involved in this matter.
"Miss Li, I know that this time you suffered a great deal for Yanzhi. I don't want Sister Yao to be unable to beat up that culprit, Xie Jincheng. But I've brought all the private money he hid," Madam Jin saw that Li Zhiwei didn't seem willing to continue that topic and quickly changed the subject.
"Sister Jin, how do you manage the household? How can you let a man have private money?" Hearing this, Lady Yao was the first to disagree.
After all, if Jiang Hanhai had money, he would go drinking.
He would always come back drunk every time.
"Don't worry. He hasn't even had a chance to warm it up," Madam Jin thought that this money was given by the Elder Master yesterday.
Xie Jincheng thought he had hidden it well.
But he didn't know that she was already well - aware of all the places where he hid his money.
"Madam Xie, your husband, Lord Xie, has quite a lot of private money," Li Zhiwei looked at the ten - thousand - tael silver note and said with a smile.
Li Zhiwei didn't really care about this ten - thousand - tael silver note. To others, it might be a large amount, but to her, ten thousand taels really wasn't that much.
Compared to her injury, not to mention accepting ten thousand taels of silver notes from the Xie family, even one hundred thousand taels, she would dare to accept. It was just a matter of necessity.
After all, there are some things that money can't buy.
She was about to marry into a high - ranking family like the Princess Consort of An in the capital, and she also needed connections.
"Good heavens, there are actually ten thousand taels?" Lin Ziyi also looked at Madam Jin in shock.
She didn't expect Madam Jin to give Li Zhiwei so many silver notes.
"Hey, sister, you're not being honest. Why didn't you tell me?" Now Lady Yao was anxious. She only brought some bedding and no silver notes.
"Oh, Sister Li, I'm sorry. I didn't think so much. I'll have someone send the silver notes over later," Lady Yao wasn't short of ten thousand taels of silver notes, and it wasn't that she was stingy. She really just didn't think of it.
"Thank you, two sisters. But I really can't accept these silver notes. My injury actually just looks scary. The prince has requested an imperial doctor from the palace. Maybe the injury won't be obvious tomorrow. Besides, I saved those children willingly. How could I accept your silver notes?" Li Zhiwei quickly refused.
"This is just a token of our gratitude," Madam Jin also thought that Li Zhiwei might not accept the silver notes when she brought them. But if she wasn't generous enough, she really couldn't get over this matter in her heart.
"I'll accept your kindness. Please take this back," Li Zhiwei firmly stuffed the silver note back into Madam Jin's arms.
Regarding Li Zhiwei's non - greedy behavior, the two women's favorable impression of her increased even more.
"Then thank you, Sister Li. From now on, our Xie family will remember your kindness. If you need any help, our Xie family will definitely not hesitate," Madam Jin said sincerely.
"Yes, yes, and our Yongning Marquis Residence too," Lady Yao quickly added.
"Good. My father and I have just arrived in the capital. In the future, we'll have to rely on you two sisters to guide us," Li Zhiwei didn't refuse this.
Because she really needed it.
"And that lousy academy and the Luo family have all been punished. It can be considered revenge for you, sister," Lady Yao thought of the teachers at Rushan Academy and the Luo family, and she still felt a bit indignant.
After all, what kind of people were the Luo family?
However, the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion had divorced Luo Yingying, the former Crown Princess. Even Zhou Fenghua had been deprived of his position as the Crown Prince.
Now the Luo family could no longer stir up any trouble. Moreover, over the years, the Luo family had often bullied others by relying on the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion.
Without them taking action, there were plenty of people who wanted to take revenge on the Luo family.
It was said that Luo Jing'an had his hands chopped off, and Madam Luo was whipped every day.
As for Rushan Academy, it had been sealed up, and Lady Feng and others had been sentenced to exile a thousand miles away.
"That's good. In the future, no one will have to suffer like this again," Li Zhiwei said seriously.
"I heard that there's also a girl named Cuiguo and Shanzi's elder brother. They contributed a lot to protecting the two children that day. Sister Li, can we go and see the two of them to express our gratitude?" Thinking of the two injured servants, Lady Yao asked very seriously.
"Of course. Qingyue, take the two ladies to see Cuiguo and Shanzi," Li Zhiwei didn't think there was anything improper about Lady Yao and Madam Jin's actions. After all, Cuiguo and Shanzi had really saved people that day.
Although they were her servants, Li Zhiwei felt that they deserved a word of thanks from the two families.
Lin Ziyi watched from the side the whole time. She was both envious and a bit relieved.
She was sure that the Li family would definitely rise higher and go further in the future.
She was also glad that she had made friends with them before others noticed.
From Li Zhiwei's attitude towards the two families' gratitude to the servants, it could also be seen that Li Zhiwei was a person who cared about her own people.
If she got along well with her in the future, she wouldn't suffer any losses.
Lady Yao and Madam Jin personally went to thank Cuiguo and Shanzi, which made the two of them extremely flattered.
Lady Yao and Madam Jin each gave them a gift of thanks. Knowing that the two servants were treated well in the Li family, they both felt relieved.
After all, in some mansions, servants wouldn't even be given a doctor.
But just now, Lady Yao had secretly seen that the medicine used by the two servants was of excellent quality.
"Sister Yao, Sister Jin, will you be attending the palace banquet the day after tomorrow?" Lin Ziyi thought that the Yongning Marquis Residence and the Xie family had a high status in the capital, so they should have been invited to the banquet in two days, right?
