"My father is a scholar, but unfortunately he has never been admitted to Juren,"

"Scholar? Do you still want to sell flowers?"

"His legs were broken by bad guys. His stepmother can grow flowers, and the whole family depends on her for support."

"She treats you badly?"

The little girl shook her head and nodded again, Qiao Mai continued to ask, "Do you have any younger siblings?"

"I have a younger brother who was born to my stepmother."

It's no wonder that the family pointed at the stepmother to eat, no matter how wronged the daughter was, he, the father, couldn't say anything, and he was still disabled.

Qiao Mai sighed, "If I buy you, you will be my girl in the future, serving me every day and never having to sell flowers again, would you like it?"

The little girl raised her head and looked at her seriously, "Can you have enough to eat?"

"Three meals a day are enough, and there is no need to work at night,"

The little girl shed tears while eating the steamed stuffed bun.

"But what about my father? Although he has a broken leg now, he was very good to me before."

"If you continue to stay in that house, you will die before your father dies. If you can't even protect yourself, how can you protect your father?"

"Madam, you are a good person, if that is the case, then I am willing to sell myself to you."

Qiao Mai pursed his lips and smiled. This little girl was interesting, so he took her back to Jixiang Garden and asked someone to call the housekeeper.

"Old Zhang, take her back home and buy her with her family for fifty taels of silver. When you come back, give her to Nanny Jin to help her train for a month, and then send her to Yuexian Pavilion."

"Yes, master!"

Butler Zhang took the little girl away. It has been a long time since the master's courtyard has not been attended by servants. It is rare that the hostess is willing to accept a servant. Although she is a little younger, loyal servants have to be cultivated from an early age.

In the evening, Steward Zhang came back. He reported to Qiao Mai and handed over the deed of sale.

"Master, the mistress of that family is so annoying. When she heard that I wanted to buy a little girl, the lion opened her mouth and asked for a thousand taels of silver."

"She really dares to ask for it, she is not afraid of dying." Qiao Mai Youyou said.

"When the subordinate heard this, he turned around and left. When she saw it, she hurriedly shouted to stop her subordinate. In the end, she was still not happy when the price was reduced to fifty taels."

"Does her man know about this?"

"I don't know, they called us outside and said."

"Give it to Nanny Jin?"

"Yes."

"You have worked hard, go and rest."

After a while, the Yuan family came back, "Miss, are you tired today?"

"Haha, you know?"

The two sat in front of the kang table, and after a while the servants brought the food, and they both retreated after setting it up.

"The emperor called my husband into the palace. He didn't make things difficult for me. He just told me about it. The lady kicked him well, and kicked him to death. Let this bastard live one more day, and the women in the capital will suffer one more day. You have no idea how bad this guy's reputation is."

Qiao Mai ate without raising his head.

"The emperor knows what his grandson's virtues are, but he is only supervising his officials, but his own is releasing water. This dog emperor, someday I will show him some color when he is in a hurry."

The hands of the Yuan family trembled, is the lady so hurt? Even the emperor can move at will?

Seeing him in a daze, Qiao Mai snorted coldly, "Do you want to be emperor?"

Yuan Jiaqi was so frightened that he quickly shook his head, "No one in this world wants to be emperor, but not everyone can take this position, without family background, without generals, it's a dead end."

"I didn't expect you to see it quite clearly. This time, it's a warning to the royal family. Once again, it's not a matter of breaking ribs."

"The gang of dandies in the capital should be dealt with severely. They bully the people with money and power. Those who have suffered do not dare to hum, and knock out their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs."

"Go back and check the dandies in the capital, write a list and give it to me."

"Oh, lady, then what, give my husband one hundred thousand taels of silver?"

"Has another disaster occurred in the south?"

"Yes, there have been heavy rains in several places. If the relief is not timely, there may be plagues, alas~"

"Do you want food?"

"If the lady is sure to make a move, the more the better."

After the couple had dinner, Qiao Mai gave him a silver note of one hundred thousand taels, and then dragged him to the door of the house.

With a wave of her hand, grains as high as hills appeared in the courtyard out of thin air, one bag after another, each bag weighing a hundred catties.

"Tomorrow, ask someone to count it, and if it's not enough, I'll give it to you."

The Yuan family swallowed, "It should be enough, these are hundreds of thousands of catties,"

"Well, how to round up these grains is up to you."

"I have already applied to the emperor for disaster relief, and I am afraid that I will leave the capital for a month or two."

"With me at home, if you go out with winter dates and dragon's blood, horses can swim and they will protect you,"

"knew."

In this way, the Yuan family went to court early the next morning, and when they came back, they sent people to count the grain and take it away by cart after cart.

After a whole day, he was so busy that he didn't have time to talk to Qiao Mai at night, so he fell asleep when he was tired.

Looking at his sleeping face, Qiao Mai sighed softly, stretched out his hand and tapped his ear lightly, imprinting his divine consciousness.

Both he and Chuan'er are very smart people, but no matter how smart they are, they don't have the ability to guard against others.

She can only do this, if there is anything abnormal, she can immediately appear in front of him.

As his wife, she packed some things for him at night, and the next day, Yuan Jiaqi left the capital with a large team.

Thinking that my husband will be away for a month or two, this is just a good time to retreat and improve my cultivation.

I was planning to plug in the door and close it, and the servants came to report.

"Princess, a couple outside asked to see me, and they said yes, said yes,"

"explain!"

"They said they came to meet relatives."

"Acquaintance?"

"They came to recognize the relatives of the princess. They said they were the biological parents of the princess."

Qiao Mai was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly smiled with her lips curled up. It was so ridiculous that someone came to recognize her own biological daughter.

Her face was as cold as ice, and she came to the front hall with a sense of hostility, and saw a couple about her age.

The couple who were originally sitting quickly stood up and bowed to her somewhat restrainedly.

"I have seen the princess."

"Well, don't rush to recognize relatives, first tell me who you are and where do you live?"

"We live in the capital now. The villain's surname is Yu. This is my wife, Yu. The family has been in business for generations."

"Where was your child lost?"

"No, it wasn't lost. It was a civilian woman who was hunted down at the time. As a last resort, she had to leave the child at the door of a family in Tianshui Town, and left in a hurry."

"Tell me more carefully, what was the weather like at that time, how old was she when you lost the child, what kind of quilt was she wrapped in, and what kind of clothes were she wearing?"

"The woman lost her memory for a while after escaping from the dead. She only remembers the general idea, but really doesn't remember the specifics."

"Where did you hear that the princess' daughter was brought here?"

"After my wife remembered this incident, we searched for it in Tianshui Town. It was the local people who told me that your family had arrived in the capital, so we searched here impolitely."

"Are you sure my daughter is yours?"

"I'm not sure, I just got this clue, I want to come over to confirm, and ask the princess to fulfill our couple's wish."

"Go back, she is not your child."

"Princess! Please help me!"

The couple immediately knelt down in front of her. Qiao Mai watched the two acting, presumably the people behind them must have checked it, and it was almost perfect.

Qiao Mai bit his nails, and nodded to the servants waiting at the side.

The servant trotted away, not long after, Linger came to the front hall, she looked at the strange couple in the living room.

"Mom, who are they?"

"Meet the princess!"

"They said you were their daughter, so I called you over. Not to mention, you look a little bit alike, which really bothered the people behind you."

After hearing this, the couple pretended not to understand, "Princess, the princess really looks like us."
