After the eldest daughter was reborn, the whole family knelt down and begged for forgiveness
Chapter 214 Xiao Xuetang's Celebration Banquet
Nanny Qin's advice did not make the old lady repent, but instead made her hate Xiao Xuetang even more.
If it weren't for that debt collector Xiao Xuetang, how could Xiao Yi end up in jail? How could their good life in the Yong'an Marquis Mansion end up like this!
The old lady was so angry that she was panting on the ground. Nanny Qin, still thinking of the decades of friendship between master and servant, helped her to the bed with two maids. But she still refused to give up. Her dry hands like tree bark patted the edge of the bed and asked to see Xie and Xiao Xuetang.
The maidservant at the side replied quickly and subconsciously: "Madam and Miss are holding a welcoming banquet for the second master of the Xie family in the courtyard. They can't come for a while."
Before, Xiao Xuetang was the least favored one in the Marquis' Mansion, and Litangju was even more of a chore in the eyes of the Marquis' Mansion. Unexpectedly, in just two months, Litangju became a hot commodity in the eyes of the Marquis' Mansion.
Today, the Inspection Office sealed off the Marquis' Mansion, and everyone was in a panic. Only Litangju was not affected.
Nowadays, everyone in the palace is rumored to have the support of the Regent behind the eldest daughter!
It turned out that before they knew it, everyone was shocked to find that the least favored young lady in the Marquis's Mansion had actually found such a patron...
Even if the Yong'an Marquis Mansion fell into decline, with the Regent's Mansion still there, Xiao Xuetang would still be able to continue to act arrogantly in Kyoto. With the eldest lady's protection, the servants in Litangju would probably be able to be protected.
They may not...
After hearing what the maid said, the old lady's face became even uglier and she almost suffocated.
"My son is in jail right now, and that bitch and bastard still wants to hold a welcoming party?"
Madam Xiao took a long time to catch her breath. Her old and cloudy eyes seemed to be filled with poison. She said, "Go and ask the prince to come see me..."
Xiao Xuetang and the Xie mother and daughter are heartless, but Xiao Yu is different.
The old lady knew her grandson too well. He had a gentle and kind personality. She had to find a way to get Xiao Yu to her side.
Now only Xiao Yu can stop Xiao Xuetang. Only by stopping Xiao Xuetang can the Marquis' Mansion avoid this disaster!
The old lady thought quietly, her cloudy eyes were gloomy, as if she was about to choose someone to devour...
……
As night falls, Litangju is brightly lit inside and out.
Under the candlelight in the evening, the smoke was curling up, carrying the aroma of food, which made people's appetite almost come out.
A tiger-striped kitten was running around, and when it smelled the aroma it mewled and tried to climb onto the table, but was pulled down by a ruthless hand.
"Little thing, you can't eat these."
Xiao Xuetang stroked the soft belly of the tiger-striped kitten with a smile on her face, and her nerves, which had been tense all day, gradually relaxed.
The kitten meowed, its face full of reluctance, until Xiao Xuetang brought two dried fishes, then it reluctantly lowered its status and continued to give its little belly to Xiao Xuetang.
Zhuier and several maids sat under the corridor, playing with jasmine flowers and chatting and laughing.
It's quiet...
Litangju is located in a remote place, and the officers and soldiers did not dare to disturb Xiao Xuetang's yard. For a while, no one knew about the sudden change in the marquis' mansion today.
Bihen went to get the wine.
It was the pear blossom white tea brewed by Xiao Xuetang three years ago in the spring. She buried it under the crabapple tree beside the garden. At that time, she wanted to wait for the Marquis and his wife to return from Jingzhou to drink it.
Time passed little by little, and the crabapple and pear blossoms in the yard bloomed and withered three times. Xiao Xuetang became disappointed after waiting in vain again and again, and she never made wine again after that.
After Xiao Yi and the others returned from Jingzhou, Xiao Xuetang seemed to have forgotten the wine buried under the flower tree, and today he ordered people to dig it out.
As soon as the seal on the wine jar was opened, the aroma of wine filled the air.
The young lady in her family is not only good at making perfumes, but also has unique skills in brewing wine.
How could the Marquis and the Third Prince be so mean and betray such a good lady?
Bihen was upset, and saw Qiyue, who had gone to invite Xie, coming back...
"Madam said...she is not feeling well and will not come tonight."
The smile on Bihen's face faded instantly, and he said, "How could the Marquis be so... Is she blaming the young lady?"
Bi Hen lowered his voice this time, but Qi Yue's heart skipped a beat when she heard it, and she still glanced at Xiao Xuetang cautiously.
Seeing that Xiao Xuetang didn't seem to notice, Qiyue breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Madam's complexion is indeed not good. She drank the medicine and lay down after returning home. It was Aunt Su who replied. She didn't want to worry Miss, and she told me not to tell Miss."
Bi Hen's expression lightened up a bit.
Just at this moment, Aunt Yuan from the kitchen came to deliver the dish, which was Aunt Yuan’s most famous dish, the rouge goose breast.
Here, Xiao Xuetang was chatting with Aunt Yuan in a casual manner.
Aunt Yuan was from Jinling and was a straightforward person. When Xiao Xuetang needed a cook, it was Hong Fu who introduced her to him.
Hong Fu knew that Xiao Xuetang preferred sweet and sour tastes and liked to eat snacks, so she pushed Aunt Yuan to come.
Before coming, Aunt Yuan was a little worried that it would be difficult to serve the princesses in the Marquis' Mansion. Later, she found that Xiao Xuetang was easy-going. There were not many people in Litang Residence, and they were easy to get along with. There was not so much intrigue.
After a month, she and Xiao Xuetang became familiar with each other, so she smiled and said, "Miss, don't look down on this rouge goose breast, but it is the secret recipe of my ancestors. My ancestors used to serve in the Jinling Jun family."
"Five years ago, the wife of a noble family in Jinling fell ill and couldn't eat for several months. I made this rouge goose breast and she regained her appetite. At that time, the master of the family directly rewarded me with a box of gems. The smallest gem was as big as a thumb. The relationship between the master and the wife was really good, but later..."
When Aunt Yuan said this, she shuddered as if she remembered something.
"What happened next?"
Xiao Xuetang was listening with great interest, but she didn't expect Aunt Yuan to stop talking suddenly and looked at her in confusion.
Aunt Yuan's face turned pale for a moment. Hearing this, she forced a smile and said, "Nothing. I'll go check the fire in the kitchen..."
With that, Aunt Yuan left in a flash, leaving Xiao Xuetang full of doubts.
Before, Xiao Xuetang knew that Aunt Yuan worked for a noble family in Jinling and the dishes she made were very exquisite. She didn't expect that she was from the famous Jinling Jun family.
Back then, the Jun family of Jinling was a southern clan, and even the imperial court in Kyoto was very wary of the Jun family.
And isn’t that where…
As if sensing something, Xiao Xuetang raised her eyes and saw a man in black clothes walking slowly towards the gate of the yard.
The crabapple blossoms in the courtyard had already faded, but a purple paulownia tree in the yard was in full bloom. The hostas and jasmine in the flower beds were fragrant. The palace lanterns hanging under the eaves swayed in the wind, and the lights flickered, shining into his deep eyes with a cold and blurry color.
"Meow!"
The tiger-striped kitten that was originally lying in Xiao Xuetang's hands and being stroked suddenly jumped up and jumped into Lin Xun's arms like a cannonball!
