The steward was only passing on the message according to Xie Qiao's instructions.
It was impossible for Xie Qiao to do things without accepting money. It was just that she did not know what kind of situation the Yan family was in, so it would be inappropriate to accept too much money. Moreover, he owed Young Lady Yan such a big favor, so she only accepted one tael of silver.
One had to know that Prince Ning Bei had already given her a reward of five thousand taels of silver. There was also the Li family. As the matter was more troublesome, they gave even more money.
The Li family was not as rich as Prince Ning Bei's family, yet they had already given her so much silver.
The Yan family was a family of clear flow, and the family behind them was not very powerful. Their family background was not much better than the Xie family's, so the price Xie Qiao charged was very affordable.
