The legitimate daughter is reborn, her life is still with her

"Second Miss, are you finally awake?" A maid rushed in from outside, pushed Chuntao and Xia He away from the bed and sat down.

"You fell into the water just to see the fourth prince. What a good thing. You..." The maid kept chattering as soon as she entered the door, without any rules at all.

This made Chuntao and Xia He frown but could not speak.

Everyone around him in his previous life advised Zhou Jiaqing not to get close to Xie Yuanfu. Only this maid named Cai Sang followed Zhou Jiaqing's wishes. She gradually loved and trusted this person until she later ordered that anyone who found trouble picking mulberry should be punished with twenty sticks. and drove him out of the house.

In the previous life, I took herself as a concubine regardless of the consequences, and her contribution to picking mulberry trees was indispensable.

Later, when he was demoted to the cold palace and had his limbs chopped off, Cai Sang specifically told the executioner to chop off his limbs slowly in order to torture himself.

When he thought of Zhou Jiaqing, he raised his hand and slapped him.

"Second Miss, why did you hit me?" Caisang covered his face and wondered why.

"You're just a slave, and I can't beat you?" Zhou Jiaqing said in a condensed voice with a flash of anger in his eyes.

"Although I am a slave, there is nothing I do that is not perfect in my work. There must be a reason for the second young lady to beat and scold her. Could it be that the second young lady failed to see the fourth prince and took it out on the slave?" Caisang frowned in disbelief. questioned.

"How dare you, young lady, you haven't even had hair extensions yet. You keep saying that the fourth prince has no regard for the young lady's reputation. What do you mean? This is the first crime, spreading rumors about the master. As a slave, you call yourself 'I' in front of the young lady and call her 'you'. This is The second crime is being arrogant and disrespecting the master. Now that the young lady is still ill, you argue with the young lady. This is the third crime, contradicting the master. You dare to disobey the young lady's orders. When did you have the young lady as your master in your eyes?" Before Sang finished speaking, Chuntao on the side couldn't help but said angrily.

Zhou Jiaqing glanced at Chuntao appreciatively and lamented that the maids around her could clearly see that Cai Mulang had ulterior motives. Unfortunately, she didn't notice it at all before.

"For those who are guilty of picking mulberry trees, they will be punished for several crimes. They will be slapped twenty times, then beaten twenty more times, and sent to the woodshed." Zhou Jiaqing stared at the mulberry picker and scolded him coldly. Although his body was weak, he still had a faint coldness.

As Zhou Jiaqing stared at her, a cold sweat broke out on her forehead. She quickly lowered her head. The second lady had never been so angry with her before. Why was it so strange today?

When he raised his head and saw Zhou Jiaqing suddenly showing unspeakable majesty and momentum, he came back to his senses. Going down twenty boards would cost half his life. He was too anxious. After all, he was the master, so he knelt down quickly. Kowtow and beg for mercy.

At this time, Dongmei opened the curtain from outside and said, "Miss, my cousin is here."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a girl walking into the inner room. The girl in front of her was about fifteen or sixteen years old. She was wearing a lavender top embroidered with small gardenia flowers, a crescent-colored draped soft skirt, and her hair was beautiful. Qingwan Pearl Purple Moon Hairpin looks simple but is exceptionally fresh and elegant.

There is a little makeup on her face, and her eyes are like spring water, which makes people feel friendly for no reason.

After she came in, she glanced at Cai Mulberry kneeling on the ground, then quickly walked to the bedside, took Zhou Jiaqing's hand and said worriedly: "Second sister, I was very worried after I heard that you passed out. I saw Tao Ranyuan's servants were busy. I'm taking care of you, so I won't bother you. Now that you're awake, I feel relieved."

Zhou Jiaqing raised his head and looked at the girl in front of him. Qin Xingyue, the person he was best friends with in his previous life, took away her identity and killed her family!

She just felt that the hatred in her heart could not be suppressed, and it came overwhelmingly, turning the river upside down. Even such a beautiful and gentle person was lying dormant beside her like a poisonous snake.

She tightened the quilt in her hands, took a deep breath, bitterly suppressed the strong resentment in her heart, and tried hard to control her emotions. Her long eyelashes covered up the killing intent in her eyes.

Qin Xingyue didn't notice Zhou Jiaqing's emotions, so he sat on the embroidered stool beside the couch and continued: "But as a sister, I have to tell you that you accidentally fell into the water because of the fourth prince. This is really Nonsense, what if something happens, Master Hou, what will you do?"

Everyone knows that the Marquis dotes on Zhou Jiaqing, and he always holds it in the palm of his hand. Isn't he deliberately bringing it up in front of Zhou Jiaqing to make her feel that her father doesn't care about her and make her resent her father?

Although the Qin family is a merchant, the head of the Qin family, Qin Hao, and her father, Marquis Jing'an, are sworn brothers. When they were traveling, they encountered thugs. Qin Hao was shot and killed by an arrow while protecting her father. His heartbroken wife followed him, leaving her behind. The next pair of siblings had no one to take care of them, so her father took them into the mansion to take care of them, and their food and clothing expenses were no different from those of the ladies in the mansion.

Zhou Jiaqing was fourteen years old at this time, and Qin Xingyue was one year older than her. She was fifteen years old. Fortunately, she had not yet become the adopted daughter of the Marquis of Jing'an, so she and her brother Qin Xingwen temporarily lived in the mansion as cousins ​​of the Marquis. It's still not too late.

"Cousin, be careful, I fell into the water, but what does it have to do with the fourth prince? Don't mention it again in the future." Zhou Jiaqing lowered his eyes and retorted calmly.

Qin Xingyue's eyebrows moved slightly.

Normally, Zhou Jiaqing would act according to his own wishes, but now, although he was surprised by Zhou Jiaqing's distant attitude, probably because he was still angry with the Marquis, he tentatively said: "Second sister, don't wrong yourself. ..”

"My cousin's words are incomprehensible. How can I wrong myself? I still have a headache. If you have anything to do, I'll talk to my grandmother tomorrow." Zhou Jiaqing raised his brows and interrupted Qin Xingyue softly.

When the words came to this point, Qin Xingyue's smile froze on her face. She always felt that something was wrong with Zhou Jiaqing today, a little unsophisticated.

He was about to get up and leave, but he just saw Cai Mulberry kneeling on the ground and said casually: "You just woke up now and you have to be punished. The servants made mistakes, so it's just a scolding, let alone Cai Mulberry." I remember that she has always been respected by you, my second sister. If there is anything wrong with her, just teach her. Why do you make yourself so angry? It’s not worth it."

Sure enough, I couldn't wait to plead with Caisang.

"My cousin has been in the Hou Mansion for more than half a year."

"Yes."

Qin Xingyue responded with a puzzled look.

"Why has it been so long? My cousin is still not used to being a master. You can't be so tolerant towards your servants. Since you have made a mistake, only by being beaten can you remember it. Cousin must remember it, otherwise one day this evil servant will slap you on the nose. ”

Zhou Jiaqing closed her eyes slightly after saying this. She had just woken up not long ago and had not yet digested the matter of rebirth. After talking about this conversation again, she was indeed tired.

After all, Qin Xingyue had just stepped into the Hou Mansion not long ago, and her current skills were far from enough. Seeing this scene and hearing these taunting words, every word reminded her that she was a common girl before. She couldn't even sit still or stand up. no.

Today, Zhou Jiaqing's mood always made her a little uneasy, and her words were also weird. It seemed that Zhou Jiaqing was so angry with Master Hou that she acted a little abnormally, and left in a sullen manner, trying to show off her power as a young lady.

I thought in my heart that I would wait until Zhou Jiaqing's enthusiasm was over before talking about the fourth prince.

When Caisang saw Qin Xingyue's leaving figure, she finally became frightened and started kowtowing "dong dong dong".

"Chun Tao, drag the person to the yard, slap the mouth twenty times, beat the staff twenty times, and ask Tao Ranyuan's servants to put down all their work and watch the punishment, as a warning to others." Zhou Jiaqing glanced at the people on the ground with disgust, and said lightly He ordered, "You all go down first, I want to take a rest."

"Yes, miss." Chuntao responded, and she and Dongmei dragged the mulberry pickers out on the ground.

No matter how she looked at it, Xia He felt that the young lady today was different from usual ones, but she couldn't tell what exactly had changed. However, she was very happy that the young lady could see the true face of picking mulberry trees, so it was just a matter of tucking the young lady into an embroidered quilt. Withdrew.

"Snapped!"

"Second miss..."

"Snapped!"

"Spare my life..."

"Snapped!"

The other servants were shocked when they saw this battle, and secretly planned to work harder in the future.

The sound of mulberry picking and torture in the yard gradually disappeared, presumably because Chuntao covered her mouth.

Zhou Jiaqing smiled secretly. Can't he bear this little punishment now? There will be more severe punishments to be endured later.

When the execution was finished outside, she lay on the couch and had not yet fallen asleep. She had some doubts. In her previous life, her father had selected several young men from aristocratic families for Qin Xingyue. They were handsome in appearance and good in character. Qin Xingyue said he was not in a hurry every time he turned them down. After going back and forth, no one fell in love with me even though I was older, and my father was very anxious.

It turned out that he was waiting for Xie Yuanfu to ascend the throne.

At this time, the fourth prince had no power and no title. The prince was still alive, and the other princes were equally powerful. Why did Qin Xingyue, who had a higher eye than anyone else, choose him alone?

After much deliberation, I couldn't think clearly and fell into a deep sleep.

In the second half of the night, Zhou Jiaqing slept extremely uneasily. In a daze, he felt as if he was in the palace again. He was beaten and covered with blood. He suddenly woke up. He subconsciously stretched out his arm and saw that there was no scar or blood, and his arm was still white and tender. Finally, she breathed a sigh of relief. She had indeed been reborn. Her relatives and loyal servants were all here, and she was still the legitimate daughter of Marquis Jing'an.

This sudden move startled Qiu Ju who was keeping watch at night, thinking that the young lady was unwell.

If she remembered correctly, someone would come looking for trouble early tomorrow morning. She leaned into Qiu Ju's ear and whispered a few words.
