After talking to him, Zhong Li went to Yangxintang. The matter of Gu Zhiya and the others being punished has spread throughout the entire Zhenbei Hou Mansion. Only the old lady didn't know anything about it. Pei Xing specially instructed the maids in her courtyard to keep their mouths shut. Naturally no one dared to discuss anything.

When Zhong Li came to Yangxintang, Xiaomei and the other maids couldn't help but glanced at her a few times, obviously they knew about it, but they didn't ask any more questions, and greeted her as usual.

The old lady smiled and said, "I only asked for peace in the morning, why are you here again now?"

Zhong Li didn't beat around the bush, knelt down and said seriously, "I want to ask my grandmother to promise me one thing."

The old lady was a little surprised, and hurriedly reached out to help her, "You can get up first."

Zhong Li shook his head and didn't get up, "This matter is no trivial matter. Grandma let me say so, so that I feel better."

The old lady sensed something sensitively, and the smile on her face subsided, "Go ahead."

"I want to take Cheng'er out of the Hou residence."

After she finished speaking, the old lady couldn't help but stagger a step, and Mammy Zhang quickly supported her, so she didn't fall down on the couch.

Zhong Li kowtowed, "I hope my grandmother will be done."

The old lady didn't say a word, just looked at her quietly, her eyes were a little surprised, and after a while, she said, "Li girl, honestly, do you know anything?"

As soon as she said these words, Zhong Li was startled and raised her head in shock.

Seeing her expression, the old lady grabbed Zhong Li's arm tightly and murmured, "It's Zhiya, right? It's her hand on Cheng'er, and it's she who wants to assassinate you? That's why you want to leave?"

Zhong Li was only shocked and absurd, and her voice couldn't help but grow louder, "Do you know that Cheng'er's accident was not an accident?"

The old lady naturally sensed her aggressiveness, she closed her eyes with guilt, and Mammy Zhang quickly screened the maid and explained to the old lady: "No, the master doesn't know, it's an old slave, I once saw the mother beside her quietly When I saw the maid next to Cheng'er, it was the maid who jumped down from the rockery, the old slave was afraid that there was a hidden secret, and told the old lady, but unfortunately nothing was found at that time."

Although it could not be found out, the seeds of suspicion have been planted. The old lady has no evidence, so she naturally dare not speak nonsense. She has been tormented all these years. Now when Gu Zhiya returns to the house, Zhong Li encounters an assassination again, so she suspects This was also done by Gu Zhiya.

When Zhong Li heard the words, her expression was a bit complicated. At the beginning, her mother also didn't find out anything. She naturally believed what Mama Zhang said. In fact, she also knew in her heart that the reason why she was able to find the evidence this time was thanks to Pei Xing.

If it weren't for Jin Yiwei's help, even if she checked for another half a year, she might not be able to find substantial evidence. After all, it is not easy to find someone in the ends of the earth.

Zhong Li gradually calmed down and said, "Let Cheng'er leave, not only because Zhenbei Hou's mansion is not safe, but also because he is not happy, wherever he goes, he can meet babbling maids, and he doesn't even dare to go out. ."

The old lady's eyes were a little red. She closed and closed her eyes. After all, her heartache for Cheng'er conquered everything, "Does the Hou Ye agree?"

When Zhongli came out, it was two quarters of an hour later. The weather today was relatively clear. Under the sun, the lush branches and leaves were dancing with the wind. In the sky not far away, a black eagle kite could be seen.

Zhong Li returned to the Star Picking Pavilion step by step, her footsteps had never been easier.

The Marquis of Zhenbei moved very quickly. In the afternoon, he sent the house deed, the land deed for the shop and Zhuangzi, and two thousand taels of silver. This was agreed in advance. So far, Zhong Li has two Zhuangzi, eight shops. This is Gu Lin's compensation, and it is also the family business that Zhenbei Hou gave to Gu Lin.

Cheng'er's property should have been given to him until he and Guan were given to him. Considering that raising a child was very expensive, the Marquis of Zhenbei gave Cheng'er's things to Zhong Li. Cheng'er was assigned to two villagers and ten shops.

Zhong Li did not refuse, this was what Cheng Er deserved.

After handing over Cheng'er's shop to Zhong Li, he took out 10,000 taels of silver bills from his arms. Although he had a large family business, after the family business was divided into two sons, there was not much left. For ten thousand taels of silver, he deliberately sold his private house.

He whispered: "When Gu Zhiya got married, I gave a dowry of 10,000 taels of silver. This is a dowry for you, you can take it."

Zhong Li was startled for a moment, she always knew that the Duke of Zhenbei didn't like her. She is just a stepdaughter, and her existence is like telling Zhenbeihou that her mother does not belong to him completely.

Zhong Li did not expect that he would also prepare a dowry for her, she was stunned for a while, then shook her head decisively, "No, my mother left me with a dowry. I'm very grateful, I won't ask for this money, you can take it."

She refused flatly.

The Marquis of Zhenbei looked a little embarrassed. He naturally knew that there were only two shops under the Zhong family's name, and those were not enough for a dowry.

Zhong Li directly ordered the expulsion, "If there is nothing else to do, the Marquis will go back. I have to pack my luggage, so I won't entertain you."

Zhenbeihou was silent for a moment, and finally turned around and left.

The second wife also came over in person, and also gave Cheng'er two villagers and ten shops.

The second wife looked a little tired and didn't sit for a long time. Zhong Li personally sent her out of Zhaixing Pavilion.

She was polite and did not take anger at them because of what Gu Zhiqing did. The second wife became more and more ashamed. Before leaving, she grabbed Zhong Li's hand and said solemnly: "Second aunt is sorry for you, You didn't find out what she did sooner, and after you move out, if something doesn't go your way, even if you come to the second aunt, if the second aunt can help, the second aunt will never refuse."

Zhong Li shook her head and said sternly, "Second Aunt doesn't have to do this. If you feel ashamed, just discipline her well."

After sending Zhou Shi away, Zhong Li relaxed.

She said to Qiuyue, "Find a few maids to clean up the new mansion, and we'll move in the day after tomorrow."

Qiuyue responded with a smile.
