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

"Xiao Yu, that's not what you said in front of Lin Xun that day."

Xiao Xuetang sneered, "You swore that King Tianji had a Five Poison Beast by his side in the past, and that it was with its help that the demons hiding among the people were caught. How come you suddenly changed your words after just a few days? What happened?"

Xiao Yu...

Sometimes it’s not a good thing if your sister is too smart!

Xiao Yu suddenly changed his mind and wanted to stop Lin Xun from going to southern Xinjiang to look for the sacred beast because he had a dream in the past few days, in which he dreamed of some things from his past life...

That was the third year that Xiao Xuetang became the queen. Even though there were many beauties in Lin Shaoshu's harem, she was still the most favored one.

Even Ye Jin could not shake Xiao Xuetang's position.

Unexpectedly, in the winter of the second year of Yonghui, Xiao Xuetang suddenly fell ill and the imperial doctors were helpless. Just when everyone thought that the queen would not live long, during the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, Ye Jin, as the imperial concubine, replaced the queen and Lin Shaoshu to perform the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, Xiao Xuetang's illness was cured without any medicine.

The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven that day was still presided over by the emperor and empress.

After the ceremony, rumors spread in the palace that the queen was the reincarnation of a demon. Later, several mysterious deaths of palace maids occurred in the palace.

Then, there was a severe drought in the south of the Yangtze River, a flood in the northwest, and news of earthquakes and plagues came from various places...

It seemed that the source of everything was pointed at Xiao Xuetang, who was bringing disaster to the country and the people.

Later, there were rumors that the real eldest daughter of the Xiao family, Xiao Xuetang, had died ten years ago, and the one who returned to Kyoto was a resurrected witch from southern Xinjiang.

At that time, Lin Xun, the regent who guarded the southern border, sent people back to Beijing with a special gift - five poisonous beasts.

It is said that the five poisonous beasts can recognize the special aura of people in southern Xinjiang.

At the New Year's Eve palace banquet, in front of the royal family and the imperial concubines, the five poisonous beasts jumped out of their cages and pounced on the queen who was sitting next to the emperor...

Xiao Xuetang's identity was thus exposed!

Xiao Yu was extremely sure that Xiao Xuetang was the bloodline of the Xiao family. If she had nothing to do with the Xiao family, how could she hate them so much?

But during those ten years, Xiao Xuetang had no idea what he went through, and he unexpectedly had a close connection with Southern Xinjiang.

When Xiao Yu was traveling with Xie Xuehe, he heard that some tribes in southern Xinjiang were good at some mysterious spells that could change a person's blood and breath control. Once a person was branded with the curse, they would be with him forever.

Xiao Yu's memories of his previous life were only recovered sporadically. Thinking of this, Xiao Yu was very worried. He was unable to sleep at night in the past few days.

Even though Xiao Xuetang has broken off her engagement with Lin Shaoshu and has no connection with the royal family, and is no longer as conspicuous as she was in her previous life due to her status as a favored queen, Xiao Yu is still worried that the same mistakes from her previous life will be repeated and wants to solve this problem from the root.

Xiao Yu was determined to stop the tragedy of his previous life from happening, but he forgot that Xiao Xuetang was not so easy to fool.

Seeing him hesitating like this, I became even more suspicious, so I asked, "Brother, are you hiding something from me?"

Xiao Yu glanced at Xiao Xuetang hesitantly, and a thought suddenly occurred to him...

Should I tell Xiao Xuetang about my past life?

But when he met Xiao Xuetang's clear eyes, Xiao Yu rejected it instantly.

Regardless of the ten years of wandering that Xiao Xuetang had experienced in her previous life, and the entanglement between her and Lin Shaoshu and Lin Xun after entering the palace, those were all painful memories.

Xiao Yu only hopes that in this life, Xiao Xuetang can be a carefree girl under his protection.

"Nothing, don't think too much."

Xiao Yu felt that he should take on the responsibility of a brother and gave Xiao Xuetang a comforting smile. But Xiao Xuetang swallowed the words back when Xiao Yu came to his lips. If he was not worried that Xiao Yu would get suspicious, he would have cursed!

Earlier, Xiao Xuetang had deduced that Xiao Yu was reborn based on clues. But unlike her, Xiao Yu obviously knew much more about the situation in Southern Xinjiang than she did, and these clues were exactly what Xiao Xuetang lacked.

How can we make Xiao Yu tell the truth?

Normal means are definitely not going to work, it seems like I have to resort to extraordinary means...

Xiao Yu was being stared at by Xiao Xuetang's clear eyes. For some reason, he had a creepy ominous premonition!

Just at this moment, a maid came in from outside. The old maid looked familiar, like someone from Xuantangyuan.

Qiyue, who was standing by, hurried out to greet him. From the corner of Xiao Yu's eye, he seemed to see that the old woman seemed to stuff something into Qiyue's hands!

Xiao Yu saw it but pretended not to see it, but Xiao Xuetang actually waved for Qiyue to come in and asked, "Did Nanny Qin send someone to bring a message?"

Qiyue first looked at Xiao Yu, then heard Xiao Xuetang say, "Brother is not an outsider, you can say whatever you want."

Xiao Xuetang's voice was sweet, but Xiao Yu could hear some weird undertones...

Seeing Xiao Xuetang speaking, Qiyue said, "Yes, Nanny Qin just sent someone to tell the young lady to be careful at the family reunion banquet tomorrow."

"She said that the old lady decided to arrange the marriages of several girls at the family recognition banquet tomorrow."

There are not too many girls in the Marquis's Mansion, but not too few either.

Except for Ye Jin now and Xiao Ruoruo who was sent to the Taoist temple, several concubines in the mansion have reached the age of marriage.

But the old lady was the kind of person who had a kind face but a cold heart. She kept saying how much she treasured the girls in her family, but she didn't even treat her concubines as human beings.

The only two people who are worthy of the old lady's "trouble" now are naturally Xiao Xuetang and Xiao Yunni.

One of them had just broken off her engagement with the Third Prince, and the other had just rejected the marriage proposal from the old lady...

Given the old lady's vengeful nature, she will never swallow this humiliation!

within reason.

Seeing Xiao Xuetang's indifferent expression, Xiao Yu held his breath in his heart.

What does grandma mean by this? At the concubine's daughter's recognition banquet, she also took the opportunity to look for the legitimate daughter of the family. If this gets out, won't the whole mansion laugh at her? Is she getting more confused as she gets older?

Then he saw Qiyue seemed to be holding something in her hand, so he asked, "What are you holding?"

"It was sent by Nanny Qin. It's the list of people that the old lady invited to meet the young lady."

Qiyue was a little hesitant whether to give it to Xiao Yu, but she saw that Xiao Yu had already snatched the list, and with just a glance, his face suddenly turned pale!

The men on the list were all ugly and had all the qualities of a vicious person. The only normal one was more than a generation older than Xiao Xuetang.

Old Madam Xiao is not trying to choose a husband for her granddaughter, she is clearly digging a hole for her.

Xiao Yu was reborn and had many dissatisfactions with Xiao Yi, but he still had due respect for his grandmother, Madam Xiao.

After all, in Xiao Yu's memory, Old Madam Xiao was not such a mean old woman. When he went to Jingzhou that year, Old Madam Xiao cried for several days.

But I didn't expect that she would actually...

That's her granddaughter!

Xiao Yu's eyes were red and his face was full of anger. He was about to go to Xuan Tangyuan to settle the score with Old Madam Xiao.

Who knew that as soon as he left the house, he bumped into his attendant carrying books...

"My Lord, so you are here. The palace has issued an order granting marriage. The Marquis is not here, so the old lady wants you to receive the order!"
