After the eldest daughter was reborn, the whole family knelt down and begged for forgiveness

The capital was in a state of panic due to the sudden action of the Imperial Censorate, and everyone who had any connection with the eunuchs was in danger.

The Marquis' Mansion was once again decorated with lights and colors, preparing for Ye Jin's family recognition banquet.

This family-recognition banquet will be hosted by Aunt Liu herself, and the old lady has also sent Nanny Qin to help, showing her importance of this family-recognition banquet.

In the past few days, people in the Marquis' Mansion have been saying all kinds of things. They simply think that Marquis Yong'an's high-profile reception for his concubine's daughter clearly shows that he does not take Xiao Xuetang, the legitimate daughter, seriously.

The eldest daughter of the Xiao family had her engagement broken off, and even her own father and brothers disliked her. It is foreseeable that her future will be miserable.

Under the sympathetic gazes of the crowd, Xiao Xuetang has been very busy these past few days...

During the day, he took Mrs. Xie's pulse, gave the old princess acupuncture and took her pulse while making pills. Fortunately, Xiao Xuetang had already developed an antidote for the blood-depleting poison that Lin Xun was infected with.

Lin Xun has strong internal strength, so the detoxification process is much easier than Xiao Xuetang thought.

Xiao Xuetang has no free time during the day, and he has to copy scriptures when he comes back in the evening.

One day, Xiao Xuetang had just returned from the palace and saw Xiao Yu sitting on the pear wood chair that Xiao Xuetang often sat on, holding the little cat that Xiao Xuetang had picked up from the crevice of a rock in his arms.

The little cat was temporarily left in Xiao Xuetang's yard, but Xiao Xuetang didn't seem to have any plans to keep it and didn't give it a name.

Normally, the little cat slave, who would get angry when seeing people except Xiao Xuetang, was very well-behaved in Xiao Yu's arms, and looked like he was letting anyone stroke him.

I saw a man in green clothes with a gentle face, a handsome and elegant gentleman, holding a fluffy little cat in his arms, and they looked surprisingly harmonious.

Xiao Xuetang's eyelids twitched and his face suddenly darkened. Qi Yue and Bi Hen looked at each other, knowing that something was wrong, and silently took a few steps back.

really……

Xiao Xuetang asked coldly, "What are you doing here?"

Then she asked the maidservant beside her: "Why did you let so many people in?"

The maids below didn't dare to speak...

This Prince Xiao is the legitimate master of the Marquis' Mansion, who dares to stop him?

However, although Xiao Xuetang was angry, she had no intention of taking her anger out on the maids. She just glared at the culprit fiercely, hoping that Xiao Yu would disappear on her own.

Xiao Yu didn't have the slightest idea that he was annoying. Seeing Xiao Xuetang's angry expression, he smiled and said, "I asked you to come here today for something. You have decorated the yard very well."

Although the Litang Residence was a little remote, there were some flowers and plants planted in the yard, and it was kept clean and tidy. Although there were not many decorations in the house, from the outside, the desks, bookshelves, and other furnishings were very elegant.

Although Old Madam Xiao did not like Xiao Xuetang, she was at least the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family, so her food, clothing and other expenses should not be bad.

Xiao Xuetang glanced at Xiao Yu and saw what Xiao Yu was thinking at a glance. He just sneered and did not answer.

Xiao Yu didn't feel embarrassed and continued, "And the cat you raised... is also very cute."

As soon as he finished speaking, the cat, which was enjoying the petting in his hands, suddenly jumped down and landed directly at Xiao Xuetang's feet.

Xiao Yu...

Xiao Xuetang bent down and took the little cat into his arms, feeling very happy.

Xiao Yu smiled helplessly, but seeing Xiao Xuetang's gloating expression, he felt relieved in his heart.

Xiao Xuetang was also sixteen years old, but this life was much better than the previous life. Although she had a bad temper and got angry easily, at least her emotions were written on her face.

In his previous life, Xiao Xuetang was so deep-minded that even he felt scared.

At this moment, Xiao Yu was extremely grateful that his fate in this life had changed, saving Xiao Xuetang from ten years of suffering. Everything was still in time.

While Xiao Yu was thinking about this, Xiao Xuetang had already put the cat down from her arms and said, "This is not my cat. I don't plan to keep it."

Her voice was a little cold...

"I've been looking for its owner these days. If it doesn't have an owner, you can take it back if you like it."

Xiao Yu looked a little surprised.

When he came just now, he saw that there were some new things in Xiao Xuetang's yard, including fresh goat milk, a wooden cat climbing frame, and toys made of chicken feathers for the kitten. It was obvious that Xiao Xuetang loved this little cat, but he didn't expect that Xiao Xuetang would send it away?

"Why?"

Xiao Yu asked in great confusion.

Xiao Xuetang said impatiently: "Where is there so much deterrence? I don't like it!"

Xiao Xuetang said this with a false heart, not looking at the cute little kitten slave who was trying hard to grab the tassels on her skirt.

"But didn't you like kittens the most when you were a child? I remember when you were at the Xie family..."

Before Xiao Yu finished speaking, Xiao Xuetang's face suddenly darkened and he said coldly, "Xiao Yu, don't bother me if you have nothing to do!"

In the past, when Xiao Xuetang was impatient, he would call Xiao Yu "brother", but this was the first time he called him by his name.

Unexpectedly, at this moment Qiyue happened to bring the tea over, and Xiao Yu was about to reach out to take it. When Xiao Xuetang saw this, he was even more furious and wanted to snatch the teacup and smash it.

"I am here today for a serious matter, which is related to the Regent."

Xiao Yu was afraid of touching Xiao Xuetang's sore spot again, so he gave up the idea of ​​cultivating brother-sister relationship and spoke his mind.

Upon hearing that it was related to Lin Xun, Xiao Xuetang finally didn't smash the teacup and chase him away, but he still ordered Qiyue with a cold face: "Take it away and replace it with last year's old tea."

Xiao Yu doesn't deserve to drink her Mingqian Longjing!

Xiao Yu...

At this time, Young Master Xiao did not dare to provoke the angry Xiao Xuetang, and silently swallowed all the words in his heart.

Xiao Yu was about to speak when he suddenly saw the food box that Xiao Xuetang brought from outside. The gold-painted pattern on it looked familiar...

"You went to see the Regent again?"

This time, Xiao Yu really wronged Xiao Xuetang.

Today she went to Shuiyunju, and it happened that the imperial chef in the palace delivered some snacks. The old princess knew that Xiao Xuetang liked snacks, so she gave them to her.

But Xiao Xuetang was too lazy to explain so much to Xiao Yu, and said stiffly: "It has nothing to do with you."

Xiao Yu...

He took several deep breaths before saying to Xiao Xuetang, "I heard that the Regent King sent people to the southern border to look for the Five Poisonous Beasts?"

Xiao Xuetang nodded slightly.

In the past few days, Xiao Xuetang has been traveling frequently with Lin Xun because of copying and translating Buddhist scriptures. Lin Xun did not hide anything from her about the developments in southern Xinjiang.

include……

The situation in Kyoto has been turbulent these days. The screening of the remnants of the eunuch party by the Inspection Office is just a cover. The real reason is that some drug stores that have secret dealings with southern Xinjiang have been closed down.

It seemed that after returning from the teahouse that day, there seemed to be some subtle changes in the relationship between her and Lin Xun.

It's like two parallel lines that were completely unrelated before finally intersecting at this moment.

Perhaps, it was because they had a common enemy?

They also hate Southern Xinjiang and want to catch the mastermind behind all this!

Just when Xiao Xuetang was thinking about it, he heard Xiao Yu say, "I didn't think about the matter of the Five Poisonous Beasts before. It's just that the legendary beasts don't appear. Why should the Regent waste time on unfounded rumors? It's better to withdraw your forces and focus more on Kyoto."

Xiao Xuetang looked at the abnormal Xiao Yu, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes...
