After the eldest daughter was reborn, the whole family knelt down and begged for forgiveness
Chapter 116: The Edge of the Abyss
Dinner was served in the small flower hall.
The old princess has always paid attention to health preservation as she is old, and she has a rule of not eating after noon. However, she knew that Xiao Xuetang must have eaten something after a busy day, but she still accompanied Xiao Xuetang to have a bowl of snow pear stewed pigeon.
The dinner in the palace was not luxurious, but only home-cooked dishes, but they were all exquisite and delicious. Although the dishes were light, they were surprisingly delicious.
The old princess did not have the rule of not talking while eating. She talked to Xiao Xuetang at the dinner table, mostly asking her what she did on a daily basis in the Marquis' Mansion, what dishes she liked to eat and so on.
There was no mention of what happened in Huguo Temple today!
Including what happened just now when Bi Hen came to report about Ye Jin, the old princess saw it but didn't ask any more questions.
Xiao Xuetang breathed a sigh of relief...
She was really afraid that the old princess would suddenly ask about the relationship between her and Lin Xun. Although the two of them had reached a deal in private, this time Lin Xun helped her solve the problem of Huguo Temple, and she would also give Lin Xun a big gift - a topographic map of several important temples in Kyoto hidden in the marquis' mansion.
Among them is the Ganlu Temple mechanism map that Lin Xun has always wanted.
Ten years ago, during the Ganlu Temple Incident, Emperor Huaimin was strangled to death by eunuchs and the death was kept secret.
How did they conceal the truth and hide the body of Emperor Huaimin back in the palace? It must have something to do with the underground organization...
And the mechanism map is in the Yong'an Marquis Mansion!
In her previous life, Xiao Xuetang had seen it in Xiao Yi's study by chance. She had a photographic memory. Although she could not remember the way in the yard, she could draw a topographic map exactly the same after seeing it once.
So she and Lin Xun were even on the issue of Huguo Temple today...
Xiao Xuetang was thinking about all sorts of things. She answered all the questions the old princess asked her.
"I like to read in the yard on weekdays."
“I don’t have any particular favorite food, but I also don’t have any dislikes.”
"I like to make perfumes. I make perfumes and study medicines to relieve boredom. You can use the perfume I gave you earlier. It has the effect of calming the mind and calming the spirit. It can relieve your palpitations and night sweats at night."
Although the little girl is young, she acts smartly and steadily.
Thinking of the rumors heard in Yong'an Marquis Mansion, I know that it has not been easy for this child to be alone these years. His parents are not around, and he grew up with harsh treatment by someone like Old Madam Xiao, but he still has no resentment in his heart and has a pure heart.
The old princess liked Xiao Xuetang more and more.
Seeing that the old princess had a rare good appetite tonight and smiled more than usual, Nanny Song was very happy and personally took Xiao Xuetang to the East Garden.
Because it was night, Xiao Xuetang did not have time to take a close look at her surroundings. Although the room she lived in was tidied up temporarily, it was still very elegant and tidy.
When I pushed the door open, I first smelled the faint fragrance of sandalwood.
The entire room is dominated by rosewood furniture, with simple furnishings and somber tones.
Going around the partition wall of the green gauze cabinet, there is an exquisite small couch with delicate patterns carved on it. The moon-colored brocade bed curtain hanging above it should have been temporarily found in the warehouse.
The bright and soft color does not match the tone of the entire room. It is like a ray of moonlight, sprinkling in this quaint room.
"The old princess said that it's getting late now, and many things in the storehouse have not been taken out yet. Miss, you should stay here for one night and we can clean it up according to your preferences tomorrow."
Hearing this, Xiao Xuetang hurriedly said, "I'm just staying here temporarily, I don't dare to cause any trouble."
Nanny Song smiled kindly and said repeatedly, "No trouble, no trouble."
As she was talking, she wanted to help Xiao Xuetang make the bed. Xiao Xuetang didn't dare let her do it herself, so she asked Nanny Song to go back and rest early, and she, Bi Hen and Qi Yue simply tidied up the room.
During dinner in the evening, Bi Hen quietly returned to the Marquis' Mansion to pack Xiao Xuetang's daily clothes and brought some latest news...
Old Madam Xiao fainted!
This time, Madam Xiao was not pretending to faint, but she really fainted from vomiting blood. The Marquis' Mansion also invited an imperial physician.
It is said that Xiao Yi did not come back after nightfall, and the mansion was in chaos. The old lady wanted to take out her anger on Mrs. Xie, but was talked back by Mrs. Xie.
Now that his son's future in the palace is uncertain, the daughter-in-law, who had always tolerated being beaten and punished, seems to have become a different person.
No one knew what Mrs. Xie said, but the old lady vomited blood in anger. Everyone was in chaos. Mrs. Xie remained calm. She asked someone to go to the palace to invite the imperial physician. She then used the excuse that the old lady was old and in poor health to take away the account books and keys from the old lady, and called several housekeepers to question her overnight.
Being so decisive and swift, Xie seemed like a completely different person.
Bihen was describing the situation vividly, and Xiao Xuetang was shocked for a moment.
Is this still the Xie she knows?
I have to say that this love can make people blind, but it can also make people sober in an instant!
Xiao Xuetang was holding a lotus cake from the snack box beside her and was munching on it while listening, as if she was listening to a storyteller.
Bi Hen hadn't seen such a relaxed smile on his young lady's face for a long time, so he continued, "That's not all..."
"Madam and her people have stabilized the situation here with the old lady, but the third house is in turmoil again. Seeing that the Marquis is not at home, the third master wants to take the opportunity to blackmail Madam to take responsibility for the third young lady, but fortunately the eldest son is here."
"The guards that the eldest son brought from Jingzhou all knew Kung Fu. The eldest son ordered them to beat up the third master. As for the third lady, she had her mouth blocked and locked her in the woodshed, saying that it would be a shame if the family scandal was exposed. She gave the third lady one night to pack up and will send her to the Taoist temple tomorrow."
Xiao Xuetang paused while holding the snacks, frowned slightly, and said to herself, "Why does Xiao Yu seem like a different person?"
Thinking about Xiao Yu's abnormal behavior today, Xiao Xuetang felt a slight chill on her back...
Both she and Xiao Yunni have been reborn once, and Xiao Yu will also be reborn, which is not rare.
But unlike Xiao Yunni, she had a grudge against Xiao Yu in her previous life, and the fight almost reached a life-and-death stage in the later period. If Xiao Yu was really reborn with his memories, it might be a big threat to Xiao Xuetang.
No... not maybe, but definitely!
Thinking of Xiao Yu's cold gaze today, Xiao Xuetang's expression gradually became solemn.
Qiyue didn't think much about it at this time, and said: "Madam's attitude seems to be really determined to clean up the Marquis' Mansion, and it should have been done a long time ago."
If Xie had realized her mistake earlier and dared to confront Xiao Yi and the old lady, Xiao Xuetang would not have suffered so much injustice.
Xiao Xuetang said calmly: "There is no such thing as "if" in this world, only spilled water cannot be undone."
Xie's transformation is no longer important to Xiao Xuetang. What she has to do now is, first, to find out whether Xiao Yu's background will pose a threat to her, and second, she must make Ye Jin fall into eternal damnation!
Now, Ye Jin is already at the edge of the abyss, staring into the abyss...
