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

"Before I left the mansion, I left Madam Zhuang and Liu Yuan at the mansion. I thought that they were old members of the Xie family and would be more loyal than the others. If I asked them to help Jin'er, we could sort out the mess in the mansion."

"During these years when my mother was not at the Marquis' Mansion, those people obeyed your orders. Now that I'm back..."

As Xie was speaking, she met Xiao Xuetang's gaze, which was as clear as snow, and for some reason her voice gradually became softer.

Hearing this, Xiao Xuetang sneered in his heart, so this is the purpose!

It seems that Ye Jin is not stupid. He sorted out the accounts of the Marquis' Mansion in just one day and began to instigate Xie to do bad things.

Mrs. Xie looked at the account books, her brows slightly furrowed, revealing a hint of sadness and looking embarrassed.

In the past, Xiao Xuetang would have softened his heart whenever Xie showed such an embarrassment.

Time and again, because of her heartache for Xie, she had wronged herself time and time again, but now Xiao Xuetang could only think of one sentence...

poor person must have something mean!

Xie knew clearly that she was not the material to be the head of the household, but under Ye Jin's instigation, she took over the mess of the Marquis's Mansion without knowing why. Now she wanted her to help make up for it?

no way!

Xiao Xuetang picked up the teacup and took a sip. After a moment, she said calmly, "Since this Marquis' Mansion has a lot of debts, I guess it won't be able to make up for it in a short time. Do you need my daughter to sell the dowry shop that my grandfather left for her and let you take care of it?"

Ye Jin's eyes lit up, and he said shamelessly: "Sister is so filial and willing to share mother's worries, it's the best."

Xiao Xuetang sneered!

No matter how naive Mrs. Xie was, she could hear the sarcasm in Xiao Xuetang's tone and said hurriedly, "Since those shops are yours, no matter how difficult the situation is at home, I can't touch your things."

Ye Jin pursed her lips, feeling a little uncomfortable.

But for Ye Jin now, money is not what she lacks most. She has to find a way to get the person away from Xiao Xuetang.

If she could use him, that would be the best. If not, she would make sure Xiao Xuetang is left alone in the Marquis' Mansion.

In the previous life, Xiao Xuetang had clashed with Ye Jin so many times, so she knew that Ye Jin was full of bad intentions. It was a pity that Ye Jin had made the wrong decision!

When it comes to money and people, Xiao Xuetang will not let Ye Jin get away with anything cheap.

Seeing Xie's embarrassment, Xiao Xuetang finally put down the teacup in her hand and said calmly, "First of all, Madam Zhuang is old now. She went back to the countryside to recuperate a few days ago. I'm afraid she can't help mother with the trivial matters at home. As for Manager Liu, mother, you forgot that you left his indenture to me when you left. In other words, he belongs to my Litangju."

"My father said today that I would be the one to take care of Litangju. But in just one day, my mother is going to break her promise again?"

Last time, Xie promised that once Xiao Xuetang was settled in Jingzhou, she would bring him back from Kyoto to Jingzhou so that the family could be reunited.

Xiao Xuetang waited for five years for the family to reunite, but it was just a joke.

At this time, Xie also thought about the breach of trust that day, and felt a little guilty.

But Ye Jin was able to decipher several meanings from Xiao Xuetang's words. His mind raced for a moment, and he finally realized what was going on...

Ye Jin almost bit his teeth off. It turned out that Xiao Xuetang had already planned this out.

No wonder Xiao Xuetang had no interest in the housekeeper when the accounting was mentioned in the morning. Perhaps Xiao Xuetang had already known that this Marquis' Mansion was a mess and had already withdrawn from it!

After realizing this, Ye Jin almost bit her teeth, but she still put on an innocent expression and said, "Mother is in trouble now, and she just wants you to lend a hand and share her worries. How could you misunderstand mother and watch her in such a dilemma?"

Zhu Ying, who was standing at the side, also echoed Ye Jin's words and said, "Yes, Miss, Miss Jin is an outsider, but she knows how to help Madam share her worries. You are Madam's biological daughter, how come you don't sympathize with your mother's difficulties at all."

In the past few years, Zhuying has received a lot of benefits from Ye Jin, so naturally she speaks up for Ye Jin everywhere.

Xiao Xuetang gave her a cold look...

In the beginning of her previous life, the relationship between Xiao Xuetang and Xie was not that bad, but there was Ye Jin in the middle, and Zhu Ying would whisper in Xie's ear from time to time.

Xie had always been easily influenced by others. Over time, she had forgotten that she had vowed to make up for this child. Instead, she would compare Xiao Xuetang with Ye Jin from time to time, and always felt that Ye Jin was more considerate than Xiao Xuetang...

Here, Zhuying was looked at with a nonchalant look by Xiao Xuetang, and somehow she felt a little uneasy in her heart.

She remembered that this young lady had a personality similar to that of Mrs. Xie, who was taciturn and timid. How could she have such a terrifying look?

Just when Zhu Ying was feeling uneasy, Xiao Xuetang had already turned away and looked at Xie and asked, "Does mother think the same way?"

Xie's eyes were a little vague and she didn't dare to look Xiao Xuetang in the eye.

Xiao Xuetang sneered and glanced at Qiyue, who soon brought up a food box...

Inside were two steamed buns, two plates of burnt side dishes, and vegetable and tofu soup.

It was a hot summer day, and the vegetable and tofu soup had gone bad after being left out for too long. Mrs. Xie felt sick. Zhuying covered her nose and screamed, "What a disgusting thing! How dare you put it in front of Madam? Take it away now!"

Xiao Xuetang said calmly, "Is it disgusting? I've been in the Marquis' Mansion for five years, and I've been eating these things every day."

Xie's eyes instantly turned red. Looking at the filthy food in the food box, she gasped and said, "He...how dare they do this to you!"

This time, Xiao Xuetang looked at Xie, her eyes as dark as black jade, shining coldly under the light, and said, "Mother knows what kind of person Grandmother is. You should have guessed what kind of life I have been leading in the Marquis' Mansion for the past five years."

"It is true that before you left the mansion, you left Madam Zhuang and Uncle Liu to take care of me. But Uncle Liu is a man after all and cannot take care of the inner house. Madam Zhuang is old and it is inevitable that there are some shortcomings..."

"But even so, without them, my life would have been even more miserable these years, and I might not even be able to wait for you to come back."

This was the first time that Xiao Xuetang told Xie so many of his true feelings since she returned to Kyoto. It made Xie's eyes red and her heart broken, but she was powerless to change it.

Five years ago, Xie had no choice but to abandon the young Xiao Xuetang. Five years later, she returned to the Marquis' Mansion. Her temperament was still as weak as before, and her only motherly love was given to Ye Jin. What could she change in this cannibalistic Marquis' Mansion?

Xie may not know this at this moment, but Xiao Xuetang is extremely aware of this...

At this moment, Xiao Xuetang slowly stood up and said to Xie: "Mother, I don't want to talk about the past anymore. Now that you are back, I don't ask for anything else, I just want to live a few days of peace."

Mrs. Xie was speechless, and she didn't have the face to use her status as a mother to put pressure on Xiao Xuetang anymore.

At this time, Ye Jin was still unwilling in his heart, so he stopped Xiao Xuetang and said, "I just want to borrow my sister's people to help with housework. I will return them when the matter is done..."

"No borrowing!"

When facing Ye Jin, Xiao Xuetang refused very straightforwardly...

Ye Jin gritted his teeth, and actually turned black into white, biting Xiao Xuetang and saying, "Sister, why are you so overbearing?"
