Bi Hen found some ginseng roots from somewhere and made a bowl of calming soup for Xiao Xuetang. However, after drinking the soup, Xiao Xuetang couldn't sleep.

Thinking of the dark light rolling in the man's deep eyes in the yard, Xiao Xuetang felt a little uneasy.

That look is so similar to the man in my dream. Could it really be him in my previous life?

No, not possible!

Xiao Xuetang bit her fingers and quickly rejected her absurd idea.

First, Lin Xun has never been interested in women. Even if Lin Shaoshu hates me, how could he possibly give me to his uncle...

Second, although Xiao Xuetang didn't have a complete memory of that night and only remembered those eyes, what could he say?

She vaguely felt that he seemed to be an extremely handsome man, but this Lin Xun...

So, it definitely couldn’t be Lin Xun!

Besides, even if it is... so what.

Things of the past life are like smoke, could it be that he can still remember them?

Thinking of this, Xiao Xuetang finally calmed down after feeling uneasy all night. However, not long after she fell asleep with her head on the pillow, she was dragged into that strange dream again.

The dream seemed to be another place.

The crimson petals outside the window fell on her arms, which were as soft as clouds. Then a slender big hand pinched off the fallen petals and held her slender wrist.

The color of his hands was obviously darker, forming a sharp contrast with his jade-like skin. The difference between dark and light was particularly ambiguous.

In her dream, she heard a soft laugh, like the vibration of metal and stone, falling on her ears with warm air...

The next day, Xiao Xuetang, who always went to church every morning and evening, was late for the first time.

Bi Hen didn't understand and asked curiously, "I clearly made a soothing soup for you last night, why didn't you sleep well?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he met Xiao Xuetang's sad eyes...

She had strange dreams all night, and it was all thanks to Bi Hen!

Bi Hen blushed and said, "Miss, please don't look at me so lovingly. I will be shy."

Xiao Xuetang!!!

Qiyue brought in some water and saw the two were still fighting. She said helplessly, "It's already noon. If we are late, the old lady will blame us."

The old lady is difficult enough to deal with on normal days, and now there’s Ye Jin too. I wonder what kind of trouble will arise when she pays her respects today.

Qiyue was worried, but Xiao Xuetang didn't care at all.

In her previous life, she really wanted to be filial to the old lady on behalf of her parents, so she was tolerant in everything, thinking that a harmonious family would bring prosperity.

just now……

Xiao Xuetang sneered, not in a hurry at all. He ate a few snacks before slowly walking towards Tai'an Hall with his maid. It was already noon.

After passing through the corridor, we soon arrived at the main hall.

Before Xiao Xuetang entered the house, she heard the main hall changing from its usual quiet and solemn state. People inside were talking lively, followed by a burst of crisp laughter...

The Xiao family has always been very strict about rules. Even the most favored Third Miss wouldn't dare to act so recklessly. Is this voice from... Miss Jin?

He must have been so spoiled to develop such a carefree personality.

Qiyue was thinking in her heart. At this moment, the little maid who was opening the curtain at the door was stunned for a moment when she saw Xiao Xuetang. Then she reacted and hurriedly opened the curtain to announce, "The eldest lady is here..."

Listening to the maid's voice, the originally lively laughter in the room suddenly quieted down a bit...

Normally, the Xiao family did not hold banquets in the main room, but in the three side rooms to the east of the main room. However, because Marquis Yong'an returned home, all the people of the Xiao family came, and the Yong'an Hall was crowded with people.

There were sixteen nanmu chairs in two rows on the floor, all of which were occupied. The concubines and illegitimate sons and daughters were standing beside them along with the maids.

Looking up, she saw her father, Marquis Yong'an, and the old lady sitting at the top, and her mother, Mrs. Xie, sitting at the back. The most eye-catching person, the focus of the crowd, was naturally Ye Jin!

Ye Jin's eyebrows and eyes were not stunningly beautiful, but she had a lively and agile look that the noble ladies in Chang'an did not have. She had a special charm that always made her the center of attention in the crowd without her realizing it.

perhaps……

This is what Ye Jin said, it’s because she came from another world, and women from other worlds have unique charm.

At this moment, Xiao Xuetang was somewhat envious of Ye Jin...

"Greetings to my grandmother, father, and mother."

Xiao Xuetang suppressed his thoughts and stepped forward to pay his respects to Old Madam Xiao. Then he saw a gleam of sharpness in Old Madam Xiao's harsh eyes: "You are the last one to come today. Where did you learn the rules I taught you every day?"

Most people in the Xiao family were watching the show silently. The Xiao family had strict rules. This young lady was late for getting up on such an important day. She would definitely be punished with a ruler again!

Under the gloating looks of the crowd, Xiao Xuetang gently lowered his eyes and calmly apologized, "It's because I was in the pharmacy making medicine for grandma until three o'clock yesterday, so I slept late. Who would have thought that I would get up late today. Please forgive me, grandma."

The old lady either has a headache today or a heartache tomorrow, which makes Xiao Xuetang have to stay by her side to take care of her.

Xiao Xuetang had been taught by her maternal grandfather Xie since she was young. She had read a lot of books and had some knowledge of medicine. After her treatment, the old lady's health had improved a lot over the years.

But the old lady was accustomed to Xiao Xuetang's service and took it for granted.

In his previous life, Xiao Xuetang thought that as long as he gave silently, he could impress his grandmother.

But the old lady and Mrs. Xie were not on good terms, and the old lady had never liked Xiao Xuetang, but was partial to Ye Jin, who was brought back by Mrs. Xie.

After living a second life, Xiao Xuetang finally realized that some people are not worth it!

The old lady didn't expect that Xiao Xuetang, who had always been like a saw-mouthed gourd, would become so eloquent. The old lady was very angry and was about to attack, but she saw Xie stood up before her.

"There are servants in the mansion who can make medicine, so why do you have to do it?"

Xiao Xuetang smiled and said nonchalantly, "As a daughter staying in the Marquis' Mansion to fulfill her filial duty for her father and mother, I naturally have to serve my grandmother well."

"It's actually not a big deal to boil medicine. When my grandmother was sick, I stayed by her side for a whole half month without taking off my clothes, serving her tea and water. I even emptied the spittoon myself."

Xiao Xuetang spoke in a tone of pride, and Xie's eyes turned red after hearing this...

What kind of life has her daughter lived in the Marquis' Mansion for the past five years!

Not only Mrs. Xie, but even the Yong'an Marquis, who had always been filial to the old lady, had a flash of anger in his eyes and said, "Mother, Xuetang is still a child..."

"No matter what you do, you can't torture her like this."

The old lady was irritated and said angrily, "You are such a heartless person. I worked so hard to raise you two brothers. I have gone through so many ups and downs over the years. Do you think it is easy for me?"

"You've been away in Jingzhou for five years to enjoy your life, leaving a little girl by my side. I raised her with great difficulty, and I just asked her to serve me for a few days, but you're glaring at me."

"Believe it or not, I will report you to the emperor, accuse you...accuse you of being disobedient and unfilial!"
