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

Everyone just wants to watch the fun and not mind the big things...

Seeing the constant bustle at the entrance of the Marquis' Mansion, everyone felt that something was missing. Only when they heard the exclamations and discussions from the people below did they realize that the eldest daughter of the Xiao family had not arrived yet.

Speaking of the source of all the troubles in the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, it was all because of the Xiao family's eldest daughter, Xiao Xuetang!

If she hadn't exposed Xiao Yi's identity as his mistress, the people from the Procuratorate would not have arrested Xiao Yi. As a result, they uncovered a series of cases in which Xiao Yi abused his power for personal gain and took human lives over the years.

So, seeing that the Yong'an Marquis Mansion is so lively, how can we miss Miss Xiao!

I don't know what kind of mentality they had, but after hearing that Xiao Xuetang had returned, the group of people who had been blocking the streets and alleys spontaneously made way for the carriage to enter.

As soon as the carriage stopped, the third master of the Xiao family also recovered from his shock. He rushed forward without caring who got off the carriage and shouted directly at the carriage: "Xiao Xuetang, how dare you come back!"

"No, your mother had already divorced our Xiao family when she was pregnant with you. You are a nameless bastard, not worthy of entering our Xiao family!"

Xiao Yuan's wife and daughter were now sent directly to the manor to fend for themselves. Xiao Yuan had a deep resentment towards Xiao Xuetang.

It’s not that I have any deep feelings for the Third Madam and Xiao Ruoruo, mother and daughter.

Xiao Yuan was addicted to gambling. He would spend half a month resting in the gambling house, and the remaining half a month getting drunk at home, and stealing his wife and daughter's clothes and jewelry to use as gambling money.

What he hated was that his daughter had finally grown up to be as beautiful as a flower, and could be sold for a good price when she reached the age of marriage. Previously, an old prince wanted a concubine, and when he heard that he had a sixteen-year-old daughter, he wanted to buy her for ten thousand taels of silver!

As a result, before Xiao Yuan could open his mouth, the incident at the Huguo Temple happened, and the Third Madam and Xiao Ruoruo, mother and daughter, were packed up by Xie and sent to the farm overnight.

The 12,000 taels of silver that Xiao Yuan had obtained just flew away like that. The person he hated the most was Xie, and the person he hated the second most was Xiao Xuetang!

Now that the eldest branch of the family has fallen, the second brother said that it is impossible for the eldest branch of the family to rise again. They have just forced the old lady to divide the family and also divided up the private vault of old lady Xiao. Now they live separately, and no matter what crime Xiao Yi has committed, they cannot be implicated.

So, now is the time for him to take revenge!

He was so aggressive that he stepped forward and threatened to grab Xiao Xuetang and beat him up before anyone else could react. But...

The next moment, a whip suddenly appeared in the air and hit Xiao Yuan directly in the face, causing him to roll on the ground several times like a top.

"Ouch..."

Xiao Yuan had always lived a life of luxury and had never experienced such suffering. Just one whip was enough to make him fall to the ground, unable to stand up. He curled up into a ball and wailed.

Seeing this, Xiao Qian angrily scolded: "Xiao Xuetang, you are so bold that you dare to let your slave commit crimes. Do you still regard us as your elders?"

"Whose elder does Mr. Xiao want to be?"

A cold voice came from behind the car curtain. It was clearly late summer or early autumn, and the ground still retained the warmth of the scorching sun. But when that voice sounded, everyone felt that the temperature around them seemed to drop suddenly, and they couldn't help but shiver.

Xiao Qian, who was originally pretending to be serious, was stunned...

The next moment, a hand opened the car curtain.

The hand was slender, with distinct joints, and it was clearly... a man's hand!

Then, under the flickering candlelight of the lanterns, everyone saw a man wearing a mask slowly getting off the car.

The mask glowed coldly in the night, and the eyes were cold and sharp, like a ghost.

Xiao Qian took a breath and blurted out subconsciously with a trembling voice: "Regent... Regent?"

Xiao Yuan, who had stood up with the help of his servant, felt his knees weaken when he heard the words "Regent King"...

Oh my God, he just insulted the Regent?

Then his eyes rolled back and he fainted!

The next moment, a slender girl got off the carriage behind Lin Xun...

The girl was no more than 28 years old, wearing a plain dress, with her silky black hair casually tied up in a bun, and a crabapple flower pinned on her temples. She was still extremely beautiful and unique.

At this moment, she was standing side by side with the imposing Regent. The black and white figures were particularly conspicuous in the noisy streets, but also particularly... fitting?!

The moment Lin Xun appeared, the noisy crowd suddenly became quiet, and in an instant the whole air seemed to become stagnant.

Who would have thought that the eldest daughter of the Xiao family would appear in the Marquis' Mansion at the same time as the Regent?

Someone with sharp eyes discovered that the person driving the carriage for the eldest daughter of the Xiao family was not an ordinary person, but a guard from the Regent's Palace!

Could it be that those rumors are actually true?

After the eldest daughter of the Xiao family broke off her engagement with the third prince, she actually got together with the regent...

For a moment, everyone had different expressions. The simultaneous appearance of Xiao Xuetang and Lin Xun was too sensational, and it directly overshadowed the accusations originally directed at Xiao Yu.

Facing everyone's strange gazes, Xiao Xuetang remained calm. She first looked at Xiao Yuan who had fallen to the ground, and said with a half-smile, "Third Uncle, you fainted at a really good time."

Xiao Yuan...

Xiao Xuetang, this damn bitch!

After mocking Xiao Yuan, Xiao Xuetang looked at Old Madam Xiao who was being lifted up by a rattan chair and staring at her with crooked eyes and a sideways mouth. Her eyebrows slightly raised, revealing a hint of surprise: "Grandma, it's only been a day since we last met, how come you've become like this and can't even speak?"

Madam Xiao's cloudy and dark eyes made her want to eat Xiao Xuetang, but her tongue was already frozen at this moment, and she could only make a "ho ho" sound from her throat, her chest heaving with anger.

Xiao Xuetang smiled knowingly and said, "The doctor said yesterday that you had a stroke and you can't move at all. Seeing you like this, could it be that something happened in the mansion while I was away? Could it be that Second Uncle and Third Uncle want to separate from you?"

Old Madam Xiao's breathing became more rapid, obviously what Xiao Xuetang said was right!

"Yes, you have always favored my father, the eldest son. No wonder your father is in prison now. Your other two sons must be making trouble. People are not worried about the lack of wealth but the inequality of wealth. But if you just want to divide the family, you wouldn't look so bad. Could it be that they have robbed you of your savings over the years?"

At this moment, Madam Xiao stared at Xiao Xuetang's cloudy eyes with bloodshot eyes...

She hated it so much. She hated why this scourge was not drowned when Xiao Xuetang was born!

She regretted it so much. When Xiao Yi wanted to divorce Xie, she should have kicked Xie out of the house!

She felt even more resentful. She blamed herself for not allowing her eldest son, whom she was so proud of, to marry into the Xie family. This allowed these two thorns in her heart for more than ten or twenty years.

but……

At this moment, she had a premonition in her heart that everything was about to end today.

The burning hatred in her eyes was like a lantern hanging at the gate of this century-old family and the majestic mansion, gradually dimming and extinguishing...

At this time, Xiao Xuetang no longer looked at the pale-faced Old Madam Xiao, who looked extremely shocked, and turned to look at the furtive man standing beside her.

The second master of the Xiao family, Xiao Qian!
