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

Qiyue was a few years older, and agreed with what she said: "Miss, you are right. Others don't know about the Marquis' Mansion, but we have watched coldly over the years in the Marquis' Mansion. Although our mansion looks bright and beautiful, it has long been empty inside."

"The Marquis has been exiled to Jingzhou for five years, but the family's expenses are still the same as before. He only helps the Xiao family members, but the old lady and the second lady still have to support the Anle Earl's family. This Marquis's Mansion is simply a bottomless pit."

At this point, Qiyue was a little worried: "The Second House wants to take over just to get some benefits, but if there is a loophole, Madam might..."

After all, they are mother and daughter. Even if Xiao Xuetang and Xie do not have a deep relationship, once something happens to Xie, Xiao Xuetang will inevitably be implicated.

Who would have thought that such a scene would happen today? Xiao Xuetang had already made up her mind: "Doesn't Ye Jin still stand behind my mother?"

Xiao Xuetang sneered, "When Ye Jin was in Jingzhou, she was doing very well in reselling those medicines. Now that she has accepted the mess of the Marquis' Mansion and has stuck with it, she can't get rid of it anymore!"

"Also, have Manager Liu and the others come to see me. Since my father has promised that everyone in my courtyard will be under my control, the steward brought by the Xie family does not need to stay in the mansion any longer."

Xiao Xuetang gave the instructions one by one. Upon hearing this, Qiyue secretly took a breath of cold air, realizing that her young lady was serious!

Over the years, everyone in the Xiao family has had selfish motives. The seemingly glamorous Marquisate has actually been a mess for a long time, and it is supported entirely by the former people from the Xie family.

The old lady was strict and frugal with the younger generations, but in private she ate sumptuous meals every day and took a ginseng pill before going to bed to nourish her body and prolong her life. Not to mention the second and third rooms, who appeared to be poor to the outside world, but ate blood swallows behind closed doors and wore silks and satins fashionable in Kyoto.

As long as the public money was not used, the old lady would turn a blind eye. She was only sarcastic and harsh towards Xiao Xuetang.

Poor Xiao Xuetang's father's salary supported the whole family in the Marquis's Mansion, his mother took care of the rest of the family, and Xiao Xuetang herself managed the farm and shop wholeheartedly and divided the income into three parts.

Part of it was given to the Dongshan Xie family and the poor children of the Xie family; part of it was used to help Lin Shaoshu smooth out relationships; and part of it was used to subsidize the bottomless pit of the Xiao family.

From the Marquis' Mansion to the Imperial Palace, Xiao Xuetang had seen all the wealth in the world. Countless amounts of silver had passed through her hands, but not a single cent of it was spent on herself.

In his previous life, Xiao Xuetang thought that family members should not care so much about the affection between them, and he gave silently. But one day they would look back and realize how stupid they were!

"It's just that the lady..."

Qiyue was a little hesitant.

Xiao Xuetang said calmly, "Let's keep it a secret for now. Tell Manager Liu to withdraw our people and money little by little. Don't alert the enemy. Leave some people in the Marquis' Mansion. I still have use for them."

Originally Qiyue and Bihen thought that their young lady's life would become easier after the Marquis came back, but who knew that a Miss Jin would suddenly appear.

This girl Jin looks innocent and harmless on the surface, but secretly she is doing mischief for her mistress...

Qiyue couldn't help but complain: "This Miss Jin is taking advantage of the Marquis' wife and is really going too far. Obviously... you are their biological daughter!"

Xiao Xuetang sat on a clean stone bench, wiped the sweat off his face, and said nonchalantly, "It's fate. It's not that one is closer to another just because of the closer blood relationship."

Qiyue felt even more distressed, so she said, "Miss, it's sunny down here, go sit in the pavilion and rest for a while, I'll pour you a cup of cold tea."

Xiao Xuetang has always been in poor health. After walking with Ye Jin for such a long time under the scorching sun, her face had turned slightly pale.

At this time, I saw that the pavilion was built against the mountain, with many vines and lilies entwined around the strange rocks, forming a green screen, which was a perfect place to cool off.

In her previous life, she had been locked up in the cold palace for a long time. Seeing such a beautiful scenery, she could not help but nod her head and said, "Go pour a cup of sweet osmanthus sour plum soup, and bring two plates of iced fruits from yesterday. Let's get enough rest before going back."

The girl was probably in a good mood and was unusually lively. She nimbly lifted her skirt and climbed up the rockery.

At this moment, she seemed to hear a light cough, and she thought she had misheard.

While hesitating, he was only a few steps away from the pavilion when he suddenly caught a glimpse of something behind the green screen... a piece of black clothing embroidered with golden patterns!

Xiao Xuetang took a breath of cold air...

There's someone in the pavilion!

Although it was just a quick glance, in that instant, the golden dragon pattern had passed through Xiao Xuetang's mind several times...

In this dynasty, black is the most respected color. Apart from the Crown Prince, only princes of noble status can have seven-clawed dragon patterns embroidered on their robes!

More importantly, Xiao Xuetang was not unfamiliar with the golden pattern on the robe. She had seen it a few days ago...

Regent, Lin Xun!

Isn't it said that the Regent is very busy, but why did they meet twice within just a few days?

Moreover, when they met for the first time, Lin Xun saw her having a "secret meeting" with Lin Shaoshu; when they met for the second time, Lin Xun heard her arguing with Ye Jin and how she plotted against Ye Jin...

What kind of evil fate is this!

Xiao Xuetang wailed in his heart and took several steps back. His feet slipped and he almost fell down the hillside.

Fortunately, Qiyue and Bihen were behind him, and they quickly supported Xiao Xuetang, thus avoiding further embarrassment for Xiao Xuetang...

"Quick, let's go!"

Xiao Xuetang's palms were soaked with sweat, and her face was pale. She ran away with her two maids as if she had seen a ghost.

The way he fled looked as if there was a hungry wolf chasing him.

She didn't know if it was an illusion, but it seemed like a cold and terrifying gaze was following her.

Just like in the previous life, just like in the dream...

……

"Why are you scaring a little girl for no reason? You have no mercy on women at all!"

There were two young men sitting in the pavilion, one was dressed in black, looking noble and cold; the other was dressed in red, had a pair of passionate peach blossom eyes, but did not look feminine, and with a slightly raised eyebrow he had an indescribable romantic charm.

It was the Regent Lin Xun and the Junior Secretary of the Imperial Censorate Qi Yusheng.

"That little girl is actually the eldest daughter of the Xiao family? I heard from people in Kyoto that the eldest daughter of the Xiao family is beautiful, but her personality is dull and boring. Now it seems that the rumors are not entirely true."

Qi Yusheng seemed to be quite interested in the two girls. "But the voice of the eldest daughter of the Xiao family sounds very nice. Based on my many years of experience, she must be a beauty. You sat there and watched for so long just now. Did you see what she looked like?"

Lin Xun played with the teacup in his hand in silence.

The people below couldn't see the people on the pavilion clearly, but the people on the pavilion could see clearly, and recalled the glimpse they had just gotten through the green vines...

The girl is dressed in plain clothes and has plain hair, just like a lotus in clear water, but there is a little red teardrop mole in the corner of her eye, which makes her extremely beautiful and stunning.

He recalled the dream that had troubled him for days...

The crabapple blossoms are gorgeous, but they cannot compare to the charm of a woman’s eyes and eyebrows!

Ever since I saw her in the back garden that day, the dream had become more and more absurd.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but pinch his eyebrows.

No matter how beastly he is, he wouldn't covet his nephew's fiancée...
