Fang Shiwan paused and put on a cold face:

"Grandma was sick because my daughter didn't die. After she came out of the coffin, she found that no one came to see her off. I thought it was strange, so I went to my grandmother's yard to ask why. When I went there, I paid my respects to my grandmother, but my father didn't even look at me and said that I was unfilial."

"Father and grandmother fell ill yesterday because something in the Shangshu Mansion was stolen. They couldn't catch their breath and passed out. Father blamed his daughter."

"My daughter's personal maids have served me for ten years. When my mother was ill, they never thought of leaving. My daughter felt sorry for them when she saw that their clothes were all torn. She used the pocket money my grandfather gave her to buy them a few sets of clothes. How can it be considered that I don't know the difference between the superior and the inferior?"

"Aren't maids human beings? Maids are also born and raised by other people's parents. If the family is not in financial difficulty, who would send their children to be maids for others?"

After saying that, Fang Shiwan turned around and looked at the people behind him, stretched out his hand, and pointed at someone at random.

"Madam, if the child in your arms had been a maid for someone else and had served her carefully for decades, and her clothes had holes, and the master felt sorry for her and bought her some clothes, would you think the maid didn't deserve to wear them?"

After hearing this, the old lady hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, how could that be? Maids are also human beings. If their clothes are torn, they must be bought. If my child becomes a maid in someone else's house and doesn't even have a good set of clothes to wear, I will never rest in peace."

After hearing this, Aunt Lin lowered her head to the ground.

It was the first time that Mo Qitian looked at the little girl in front of him seriously. Seeing the sincerity in her eyes, he suddenly discovered something.

This little girl only has cunning and calculating eyes when she faces people with bad intentions.

clap clap.

clap clap.

Suddenly, there was a burst of applause at the door. Fang Shiwan himself did not expect this. After all, in ancient times, maids had no dignity. Even if their masters beat them to death, it would not be an exaggeration.

"Well said, well said. My distant cousin is a maid. Even if her clothes are a little old, they won't have holes. Miss Fang is so protective of a maid. She must not be an unfilial person."

"Yes, I think so too."

"I think this Shangshu-sama favors concubines over legitimate children. He is obviously partial, so he blames everything on the eldest daughter. The eldest daughter is really pitiful, having such a father."

"That's right..."

"Young lady has a kind heart. Is she still in need of a personal maid?"

Mo Qitian listened to what the people said and glanced at Fang Shiwan, whose eyes had no expression.

"Dad, look, now the people are saying this, look at the clothes and see if your daughter wants to make clothes for Auntie. If she does, shopkeeper, you..."

Minister Fang felt guilty. He thought about the good reputation he had maintained for so long, which had slowly been lost since his eldest daughter woke up. He clenched his hands under his sleeves and interrupted Fang Shiwan's words.

"No need. Father didn't hear clearly just now. He thought these maids all had clothes to wear."

After saying this, he looked at Aunt Lin.

"If you can't treat everyone equally while you're in charge of the backyard, then you can't take over the power of the head of the family. From today on, the power of the head of the family will be in the hands of the eldest lady!"

"Master." Aunt Lin was horrified. She had held the power of the household for more than ten years. Now, she had to give it up just because of Fang Shiwan's maid?

"Okay, you go back too. From now on, all these matters will be decided by the eldest lady."

Looking at her aggrieved scumbag father, Fang Shiwan finally showed a satisfied smile. It seemed that her scumbag father still liked fame. Then she knew what to do.

Fang Zhirou stood aside and felt very aggrieved. The power to be the head of the family was taken away by the eldest lady. Then, any good things she would have in the future would be chosen by her eldest sister first. How could she have a share?

Fang Zhirou had already forgotten at this moment that Shangshu Mansion was nothing but an empty shell.

"Shopkeeper, please take these clothes to Fuyao Courtyard for me."

The shopkeeper of Luoshangfang was completely subdued by the eldest lady's gentle but strong approach, and he has changed into the look of a younger brother with a face full of admiration.

"Yes, Miss."

At this moment, Zhou didn't know that in just half a quarter of an hour, she did nothing and still took back the power to manage the family.

"Thank you, King Qi, for your help today." Fang Shiwan bowed to King Qi.

Mo Qitian was still not used to her being so respectful to him, "No need to be so polite, Miss Fang, I'll go back first."

"it is good."

Mo Qitian knew that after today, he would be openly targeted by the prince.

In the crowd, the second prince in red clothes waved the fan in his hand and left.

royal palace.

Royal study room.

The prince, dressed simply, walked into the imperial study with his personal guards.

The emperor, who was reviewing memorials in his study, heard that the prince would return to the palace today and had been waiting for him in the imperial study for a long time. Now seeing the prince coming, he hurriedly put down the memorials in his hand.

The prince knelt on one knee and said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Father."

"Jin'er, get up quickly." The emperor looked at the prince in front of him with great satisfaction, and reached out to pat his shoulder: "Did everything go smoothly on the way back?"

The prince smiled gently, "Father, everything went well. This time, I prayed for blessings and also asked for amulets for you, my mother, and my grandmother."

As he spoke, he pulled out a yellow amulet from his bosom and unfolded it in front of his father. When the emperor saw it, he smiled widely.

This amulet came at the perfect time. Ever since Minister Fang told him yesterday that things in his house were stolen, he always felt that someone was going to come to the palace to steal his things, causing him to wake up several times in the middle of the night.

Even Eunuch Li was afraid of himself.

"Jin'er, you are truly my good son. Did you personally ask for this amulet?"

The prince nodded guiltily: "Yes, father, this amulet was requested by me personally. Although ghosts and gods are forbidden in the Qian Dynasty, it is not excessive to wear a amulet."

The emperor took the amulet handed to him by his son and put it on his body.

"Well, it's okay."

Seeing his father's happy expression, the prince was also secretly delighted. Fortunately, he sent someone to bring this to him, otherwise he would have missed the opportunity to leave a good impression on his father.

After exchanging a few words with the emperor, the prince went to the queen's palace.

After anxiously waiting in the palace for a whole morning, the queen finally saw her son return and she showed a look of relief.

"Mother Jin'er is back, come on, serve some tea."

"Yes, ma'am."

The prince walked forward and sat on a chair beside the queen.

After the servants served the tea, she asked all the palace people to leave.

"Jin'er, is your journey safe?"

"I am fine, I am sorry to have worried you, mother."

The Queen nodded, "That's good. Is your father happy?"

"Father, you are naturally happy to see me, but I don't know why. I just gave you a peace charm, and you are even happier than seeing me."

After hearing this, the queen's face darkened.

Seeing the queen with a strange look on her face, the prince asked, "Mother, what happened? Did something happen in the palace during the days when I was away?"
