I was reborn before the divorce

Zhao Panyan supported Zhao and watched the carriage leave until it disappeared from sight.

Shen Lingyi secretly cursed Xie Yun for being pretentious, saying that if he didn't come to see him off, it would affect his mood for the whole day and delay his work.

When returning to the west courtyard, he caught a glimpse of a pair of eyes staring at him deeply. When he looked up, it was Zhao Panyan who was looking at him.

An indescribable feeling surged in her heart. She felt a little annoyed. She bowed to Zhao and turned to leave.

Looking at Shen Lingyi's departing figure, Zhao frowned. This daughter-in-law was so tactless. She hadn't let her go yet. Just as she was about to get angry, her niece gently pulled her sleeve. She met Zhao Panyan's gentle, restraining gaze.

"Aunt, my sister-in-law just said that she is not feeling well. If you teach her the rules now, she will think you are making things difficult for her and tell my cousin. If you do that, who knows how much rift between mother and son will arise. It is better not to argue with my sister-in-law."

Zhao Panyan tried to persuade her softly, but Zhao still looked unwilling, so she had to give up.

"Second Madam, Madam would like to ask you to go to Chunxi Hall.

Before he reached the west courtyard, he was called over by the maidservant beside Aunt Shen.

There are four children in the Xie family in this generation. The eldest son Xie Hui and the fourth daughter Xie Yunqi are born to Mrs. Shen, while Xie Yun and the third daughter Xie Yunlan are born to Zhao.

Xie Shenshi was my biological aunt. She married Mr. Xie Er at the age of eighteen. My mother told me that the relationship between her and Mr. Xie had always been unharmonious, but she didn't know the reason.

Aunt Shen is forty-five years old this year. She likes quietness. I rarely see her go out, and I seldom visit her to pay my respects.

Don’t know what to call yourself?

Shen Lingyi followed the old woman and went to the east main house.

My aunt and Zhao didn't have much contact, so in order to avoid being caught in the middle, I didn't have to visit her every morning and evening.

Thinking back to the three years she spent in the Xie family in her previous life, because she loved Xie Yun so much, she had always treated Zhao as her real mother-in-law. She even felt that even Xie Yun didn't care about Zhao as much as she did.

Perhaps Mrs. Xie felt that she would not be bothered by Zhao if she didn't see her. She saw her more often and had exempted Zhao from the morning visit a long time ago. She only allowed Zhao to pay her respects during festivals.

Every winter and summer, when she came to pay her respects to Zhao's room, the maid would ask her to stand in the corridor for half an hour before Zhao would slowly invite her in.

In the East Courtyard, before she even stood in front of the door, a maid went in to pass on the message.

She felt quite touched. Madam Xie knew that she was not Xie Yun's biological mother, so she not only exempted herself from the morning and evening visits stipulated by etiquette, but also treated her politely. However, Zhao seemed to have never found her identity as a half-servant in the Xie family.

Zhao's vision and mentality were greatly influenced by his background and acquired education, but this is not absolute. If he had an open mind, the narrow vision caused by insufficient education would slowly be broadened with later experience, and little by little he would be reborn.

Shen Lingyi even felt a little pity for Zhao at first, but after day after day of torment, he finally hated her deeply.

In this life, I will never spoil her again.

Mrs. Xie practiced asceticism all year round, went to bed early and got up early, and the furniture in her room was very simple. She was wearing a thin home jacket, sitting on the couch, eating, with a few pickles and sesame oil steamed buns on the small table in front of her, which was extremely simple.

Shen Lingyi bowed and greeted. Madam Xie hurriedly asked her to stand up, and asked the maid standing in the room to bring another set of bowls and chopsticks, and asked Shen Lingyi to sit opposite.

A maid had already come over with water. Shen Lingyi smiled and said, "I've already eaten..."

Suddenly, a maidservant came in and announced, "The fourth young lady is here."

Madam Xie smiled and ordered the maid, "Hurry up and call her in." She then looked at Shen Lingyi and said, "I called you here on a hot day because I have something important to tell you."

Shen Lingyi smiled and said, "I suddenly wanted to see my aunt today, and by chance, you called me."

Mrs. Xie smiled and nodded

Fortunately, Xie Yunqi, the lazy bug, had slept enough and came to Chunxi Hall to pay her respects. "…Mother, ah? Second sister-in-law is here too?"

Mrs. Xie and Shen Lingyi smiled at the same time. Shen Lingyi got off the couch and pulled her to sit next to him.

Mrs. Xie wanted to take out the dowry list and ask Shen Lingyi to help look at it, but she saw Xie Yun sitting there quietly with a strange look on his face. It was not easy to keep her, so she looked over with clear eyes and saw Shen Lingyi standing against the morning light, with the light hair on his face being caressed by the morning light.

Xie Yunqi fell beside her in a daze. She couldn't help but sigh that Shen Lingyi was really a great boss, and that he completely matched the advantages of her old sisters and the elegant and handsome father Shen.

Before my rebirth, my aunt was the best person in the Xie family to me. Whenever Zhao acted too much, my aunt would step in to stop her. Therefore, my life was pretty good.

The gong for the night watch had just struck, and lights began to be lit one after another throughout the Xie Mansion. In the main hall sat a beautiful middle-aged woman without any ornaments, copying Buddhist scriptures with full concentration.

"Yes, I'm from Jinling." Aunt Shen asked the maid to bring over a stack of butterfly cakes. Shen Lingyi tasted it, nodded, and said it was delicious.

Aunt Shen: "I estimate that your mother will be here in three or four days."

Shen Lingyi panicked for a moment: "Ah? What is my mother doing here?"

Aunt Shen was surprised, put down the teacup and asked, "Didn't your mother write to you? Your sister Yunqi is getting married next month."

That's right. Shen Lingyi suppressed the panic in her chest, and her flushed face slowly returned to normal. She then remembered that Xie Yunqi was getting married this year, and of course her mother would come too.

And he would do business in the capital. In his previous life, his mother stayed in the capital for a year and a half, and was settled in the East Courtyard to live with his aunt.

Shen Lingyi frowned and thought about it but still had no idea. He thought that things would work out when the time came and he would discuss it with his mother.
