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

Nanny Lai still wanted to use the old lady as a shield, but when she met Xiao Xuetang's eyes, somehow a chill suddenly ran up her spine.

Xiao Xuetang twitched the corner of her mouth, and without even looking at Nanny Lai, she ordered Qiyue, "Go find the housekeeper and tell her that there is a thief in Litang Residence who has bad intentions. Tie her up and take her to the official."

When these words came out, Lai Ma was stunned, and the maids beside her were even more shocked as if they had seen a ghost...

This young lady has always been cowardly and obedient to the old lady and the people around her. How could she actually want to punish Nanny Lai?

Nanny Lai didn't know the seriousness of the matter and screamed, "I'm the old lady's person, how dare you touch me?!"

If the old Xiao Xuetang heard Lai Mama move out the old lady, she might be afraid, but the current Xiao Xuetang...

She casually adjusted the hem of her lotus green brocade skirt and leisurely sat down on the beauty seat in the corridor.

The girl is in her prime, with eyes and eyebrows as pretty as a painting, without the vicissitudes of life and darkness that come from the pain she has experienced later in life. Even though she is wearing plain clothes and having white hair, she is still so bright and beautiful that people cannot take their eyes away. There is a teardrop mole under her peach blossom eyes.

It has both the coolness of white plum blossoms blooming in the snow and the brightness of crabapples in spring.

Nanny Lai looked dazed for a moment...

Was this young lady so pretty and smart in the past?

At this moment, Xiao Xuetang finally looked at Nanny Lai, and her beautiful peach blossom eyes seemed to be frozen...

"Madame Lai, you brought your maids into my yard and plundered it. There are witnesses and evidence. You have reported it to the prefect. Who in the world would have thought that a grandmother would covet her granddaughter's things? Who should bear the blame for this?"

Xiao Xuetang had a smile on his face, but the words he said were chilling.

Nanny Lai was shocked to realize that the eldest daughter who had been bullied by them for five years actually had such a cruel side!

Did she seem to be doing something wrong?

Immediately, Nanny Lai's knees weakened, and she knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "Miss, I know I was wrong."

While kneeling on the ground, the paperweight she had hidden in her sleeve slipped out. Seeing this, Xiao Xuetang snatched it away!

Qiyue recognized it at a glance and exclaimed, "Miss, isn't this the paperweight that was placed in your study before? She actually stole it. How abominable!"

Xiao Xuetang sneered and said to the housekeeper who hurried over: "According to the law, if a servant hides more than ten taels of silver, he will be exiled if reported to the government. This paperweight is worth a thousand taels of silver. What do you think should be done with it, housekeeper?"

The housekeeper looked embarrassed and stammered, "This..."

Originally, he didn't want to get involved when he heard that it was Litangju's business, but the wind direction in the Marquis' Mansion had obviously changed in the past two days. The Marquis has now returned, and after all, this girl is the Marquis' only daughter, so he dare not neglect her.

The housekeeper came over in a hurry and saw that the young lady had confronted the old lady's side. He was embarrassed for a moment...

"Miss, calm down. The Marquis has just returned to the capital. How can you make a fuss about family matters and bring them to the court? Besides, since your things are already coming back, why not make a big deal out of a small matter?"

Xiao Xuetang sneered, knowing that these people below her were always trying to curry favor with the powerful and bully the weak. Now they were simply taking advantage of her because she was young and had little authority in the mansion, so they were just being perfunctory.

"I've accepted the things. Butler, you can go and get busy."

Xiao Xuetang said lightly, and just spoke slowly.

The crowd of onlookers breathed a sigh of relief, and even Lai Ma Ma couldn't help but feel lucky to have escaped death...

I originally thought that since Xiao Xuetang had caused such a big fuss, she would definitely be taken to see the officials today, but I didn't expect that she would be raised high and put down lightly, and she was just a paper tiger.

Thinking of this, a trace of relief flashed in Lai Ma's eyes...

"Madame Lai, I'll leave these behind."

At this moment, Xiao Xuetang pointed at the incense burners calmly and said, "I will explain it to grandma in person later."

Xiao Xuetang's voice was calm, but for some reason Nanny Lai felt a chill in her heart and shivered!

Xiao Xuetang didn't care about that and turned around and walked back to his room along the corridor.

The housekeeper and Lai Ma looked at Xiao Xuetang's back and felt that the always timid young lady now had a straight back and the jade pendant on her waist swayed slightly, which gave her an indescribable dignity and majesty...

As soon as the talented person left, Nanny Lai's legs went weak.

Xiao Xuetang didn't have a fit just now, and her expression was calm, but Nanny Lai still felt terrified...

This matter is not over yet!

But before Lai Ma could figure out what was going on, a little maid came to look for her and said, "The old lady was calling you just now. Why did you stay here for so long? It took me so long to find you."

Nanny Lai had to temporarily suppress her anxiety and followed the little maid to the front...

At this time, after Ye Jin returned to his room, he also figured out that something was wrong.

Originally, Ye Jin thought that persuading Xie to take back the power of the family would be a lot of trouble, but he never expected that Madam Xiao would give up power so easily, and Xiao Xuetang actually refused the housekeeper rights that were about to be obtained!

"Something is wrong. After all, I have just arrived at the Marquis' Mansion. Although I have investigated the mansion in advance, I still don't know enough about the things inside. Is there a trick? Qiao Niang, quickly let Lai Ma come to see me!"

Ye Jin went to great lengths to get into the Yong'an Marquis Mansion. Although he was in Jingzhou, he had found out all the information about the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.

The coachman Liu Da was one of Ye Jin's confidants. Unfortunately, the conspiracy to frame Xiao Xuetang in the suburbs of Beijing was exposed, and Liu Da committed suicide. Ye Jin could only use his second chess piece - Nanny Lai.

Nanny Lai is someone close to the old lady, and was originally the chess piece that Ye Jin had buried most deeply. But now that Ye Jin has taken over the power of the housekeeper of the Marquis' Mansion, it is the time to recruit people, so he has to start using her!

After being scolded by Xiao Xuetang for a while, Nanny Lai felt a little uneasy. Not long after, she saw a little maid coming to find her and thought it was the old lady, but unexpectedly it was Ye Jin!

Ye Jin called Nanny Lai to the west wing and gave her ten gold bars in front of her.

"Thank you girl, thank you girl!"

Nanny Lai tried to take it in a hurry, but Qiao Niang avoided her.

Ye Jin said, "I have just returned to the Marquis' Mansion and don't know much about the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion. My mother asked me to help her manage the household today, which made me very nervous. It's okay for others, but I'm afraid of offending Sister Xuetang. Why don't you tell me in detail about Sister Xuetang, such as her private vault in the Marquis' Mansion and her confidants?"

Nanny Lai's hands were suspended in the air. When she heard Ye Jin asking about Xiao Xuetang, she immediately showed a hint of disdain: "That young lady is just a pitiful creature."

"Our old lady has always been frugal, eating simple meals three times a day, wearing silk and satin outside, and wearing coarse linen clothes in the mansion. The master of the mansion is not as decent as the maid outside."

"Other courtyards can pretend to be nice in front of the old lady, but behind closed doors, they still have good food and drink. Only Litangju is full of poor people. Even in Jingzhou, the silver, money and jewelry that the Marquis and his wife sent to Kyoto all went into the old lady's private vault."

"The young lady is surrounded by two ignorant maids. If she had a little bit of skill and one or two capable people, she wouldn't have lived like that in the mansion."

Hearing this, Ye Jin felt relieved a little and gave the box of gold ingots to Nanny Lai.

Then, without asking for permission from Mrs. Xie, she called several maids in charge to the west wing to question them according to the list provided by Nanny Lai. When they left, each of them generously grabbed a handful of gold leaves.

Liu Yuan's family happened to be the steward in charge of purchasing. He followed a few maids to receive the reward. These stewards in the marquis' mansion were also worldly-wise. They couldn't help but be amazed when they saw the silver: "This Miss Jin is really generous."

Liu Yuan's family followed behind the crowd, smiling but not saying anything...

This Miss Jin has only been in the Marquis' Mansion for a few days, but under the name of the adopted daughter of the Marquis' Mansion, she is actually interfering in the mansion's miscellaneous affairs. How can this kind of usurpation of power last long?
