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

The noble families of Kyoto all lived in Zhuyi Lane, and there were all kinds of markets and hotels in the area around Jiuqiaomen Street near Zhuyi Lane. Litang Residence was far from the main courtyard, so Xiao Xuetang secretly had someone open a corner door so that all food could be delivered from the corner door, which would also be convenient for her when she went out.

Xiao Xuetang is good at business. The silver shop left by the imperial concubine and those of the Xie family bring in a lot of income every year.

It’s just that Xiao Xuetang was afraid of the old lady in the past, and didn’t dare to spend money openly even if she had it.

Living a new life, Xiao Xuetang naturally couldn't treat herself badly like she did in her previous life and eat leftovers that even the servants found hard to swallow.

"Miss, why did you ask someone to send so many dishes?"

When Qiyue opened the food box, she couldn't help but exclaimed, their Litangju had never had such a sumptuous feast before!

Tianxianglou sent two food boxes. One box contained meat dishes, including peony shrimps, crispy crucian carp, pineapple duck slices, crystal pork elbow, basil fish, and roasted chicken. The other box contained seasonal side dishes. In addition to the staple food, there was also a bowl of three-crisp soup.

This Three Crisp Soup is made from three kinds of wild vegetables. When my grandfather was in Kyoto, he would always eat it whenever he went to Tianxiang Tower. Since the Xie family left Beijing, Xiao Xuetang was detained in the Marquis' Mansion by the old lady. Even if he had money, he had nowhere to spend it. He hadn't eaten it for a long time.

It was still a familiar smell, which made Xiao Xuetang feel a lot of emotions. At least before that incident, she had lived a life of luxury and was treated well by others...

She put aside her thoughts, looked at Qiyue and the others' shocked expressions, and said with a smile: "Today is a happy day, we should celebrate it properly."

Qiyue was puzzled: "What happy event do we have today?"

"Isn't it a happy event to be able to separate from the Marquis' Mansion?"

Then he looked at them and said, "What are you daydreaming about? Why don't you eat together?"

"what?"

Qiyue was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "We servants dare not..."

Xiao Xuetang said: "It's okay. Today we will separate Litangju from the Marquis' Mansion to celebrate. You have followed me for these years and have suffered a lot of grievances."

Because the old lady disliked her, the servants of Litangju had to be inferior to others in the Marquis' Mansion. It went without saying that Qiyue and Bihen had followed her since childhood and were loyal to her, and Zhuier had also been serving her very dedicatedly.

In her previous life, she was cowardly and incompetent. She had a hard time making ends meet in the Marquis' Mansion and was simply unable to protect the people in the courtyard. Now that she has lived her new life again, Xiao Xuetang has already gained the upper hand, and she will definitely find a good way out for these people in the courtyard from now on.

Seeing that Xiao Xuetang had made up his mind, Qiyue reluctantly sat down at the low table nearby.

Everyone in Litangju had a full meal after a long time. Xiao Xuetang had not had a good appetite during the hot summer, and her stomach had been damaged by serving the old lady in the past few years. She had a bowl of three-crisp soup, but only ate a few mouthfuls of the vegetables before putting down her chopsticks and eating some snacks.

The rose pastry was a little cold when it was delivered. Although it didn't taste as good as in the store, it was chewier when cold, and it was filled with a generous amount of honey rose jam. As for the camellia cake, although it looked very delicate and beautiful, it didn't taste as good as the rose pastry.

Xiao Xuetang had a small appetite and could not eat any more after eating just a few pieces, so the people below divided them up one by one.

Bi Hen is a foodie. She eats the most. After finishing her meals, she would eat snacks. It's hard for her to take time out from her food to care about Xiao Xuetang: "Miss, you have lost a lot of weight since the beginning of summer. Why is your appetite still so small? What should I do?"

Xiao Xuetang laughed and was about to speak, but at this moment, she heard Mei Qing, Xie's maid, say from outside: "Miss, Madam asked you to discuss something."

While she was replying seemingly respectfully, her eyes were constantly darting around Litang Residence, and her gaze suddenly fell on the food box that Xiao Xuetang had placed beside her in Tianxiang Tower.

Xiao Xuetang hated people with shifty eyes the most. If it were someone else, she would have taught them a lesson long ago, but because she was Xie's maid, she endured it.

"Okay, I'll change my clothes and come over."

Xiao Xuetang spoke lightly, his voice somewhat cold. Zhuying couldn't help but shiver when she met that clear gaze.

When Xiao Xuetang put on her outer dress and Qiyue followed her to Xie's courtyard with a lantern, they saw that the courtyard was brightly lit and Ye Jin was also there.

The mother and daughter were talking on the couch doing needlework, and...some account books were piled on the small table next to them.

When Xiao Xuetang came in, Ye Jin was still lowering her head and acting coquettishly with Xie, pretending not to see her.

However, Mrs. Xie saw a smile on Xiao Xuetang's face and said, "Tangtang, come sit down next to mother and talk..."

Xiao Xuetang just sat down on a chair nearby and said calmly, "There's no place for me next to my mother. I'd better sit here."

Xie's heart was stabbed, and her smile suddenly became a little forced. Ye Jin hurriedly stood up and blamed herself, "It's all Jin'er's fault. I didn't see my sister just now..."

Seeing Ye Jin so frightened, Xie felt extremely sorry for him...

At this time, Xiao Xuetang sneered and said, "Forget it. The weather is hot and I don't like sitting close to others. Mother, do you have any instructions for me tonight?"

Ye Jin pretended not to hear the sarcasm in Xiao Xuetang's tone. Hearing this, he leisurely sat down next to Xie and gave Xiao Xuetang a meaningful look.

Mrs. Xie did not notice the quarrel between the two and said, "It's like this. Your grandmother sent the family account book this afternoon and found a few errors in it..."

Before Xie could finish her words, she was interrupted by Xiao Xuetang.

"So mother called me here for the account book? I'm just too stupid to be trusted, so how can I look at the account book? Sister Jin, I heard that when she was in Jingzhou, she managed all the affairs of the Xiao Mansion very well, and she also managed several shops. It shouldn't be a problem for Sister Jin to handle the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion."

No matter how thick-skinned Ye Jin was, he was still irritated by Xiao Xuetang's sarcastic tone. He didn't care about pretending to be well-behaved in front of Mrs. Xie. He sneered and said, "As the saying goes, a good cook cannot cook without rice. Even if I have great ability, I have a lot of bad debts. The old women and the accountants under me don't cooperate. Let alone let me help my mother manage the household, I can't even sort out these old bad debts in the Marquis' Mansion."

The more Ye Jin talked, the angrier he got...

Who said that the ancients were simple?

As for the old lady of the Marquis' Mansion, she was originally puzzled as to why the old lady, who was so greedy and shrewd, would give up power so easily?

It turns out that this is a hot potato...

The accountant and the old ladies in the Marquis' Mansion were all more cunning and difficult to deal with than the other. Mrs. Xie simply couldn't control them. Ye Jin wanted to interrupt, but was directly told by the other party: "An adopted daughter with no name or status, living in our Marquis' Mansion, is not qualified to give us orders."

Directly blocked Ye Jin back...

Those people had just taken her gold leaves in the morning, but in the afternoon they turned against her. Ye Jin was almost pissed to death!

Seeing Ye Jin's eyes turned red with anger, Xiao Xuetang curled the corners of his mouth slightly...
