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

At this moment, Ye Jin didn't understand what Ruyi meant at all, and he felt completely dejected.

How could it be possible? She was just a concubine. Then what was she showing off when she spoke so much in front of Xiao Xuetang just now?

Moreover, she was carried into the mansion three days later in such a hurry, without a phoenix coronet, a bridal gown or a ten-mile long red wedding dress. Wasn't this telling everyone in the world that Lin Shaoshu didn't value her!

But Ye Jin didn't dare to disobey.

Now, Lin Shaoshu and the Queen Mother are the only life-saving straws she can grasp!

"Your Highness, I accept your command and thank you for your grace."

Ye Jin gritted his teeth and took the order, his eyes lowered and dark.

Ruyi ignored Ye Jin and looked towards Xiao Xuetang, saying, "Greetings, Master, Miss Xiao..."

Although Xiao Xuetang hated Lin Shaoshu, he had a good relationship with Ruyi, so he naturally didn't vent his anger on her. "Don't be so polite."

Ruyi listened to Xiao Xuetang's gentle and unworldly manner, and then looked at Ye Jin, who was furious and had a distorted and ferocious expression, and sighed again in her heart.

He felt that his master was really blinded by greed and that he would rather have the pearl than fall for that woman.

One day, the master will regret it.

The weeping crabapples in Litangju bloom four times a year. In early autumn, the crabapples have buds and bloom gorgeously, just like the scene a few months ago when Ruyi accompanied Lin Shaoshu back to Kyoto from Huaizhou and climbed over the wall to see Xiao Xuetang.

Xiao Yu looked at the crabapple flowers that were still blooming, and couldn't help but feel that things and people had changed.

Only Xiao Xuetang looked normal.

The past between her and Lin Shaoshu had long passed, and today was exactly the day she made a final decision about the past...

……

When Xiao Xuetang took the things back to Xie's house, the two aunts heard that Xiao Xuetang had met Ye Jin at Xiao's house, and there was someone from the Third Prince's mansion proposing marriage. They didn't even have time to eat a few bites of dinner when they came back. They were worried that Xiao Xuetang was sad, so they brought sweet soup to comfort her.

At this time, Xiao Xuetang was looking through some books she brought from Litangju, several of which were left to her by Concubine Xie, and they still had Xiao Xuetang's childish notes on them.

Some of the vernacular poetry collections left by Concubine Xie are not even owned by the Xie family. Xiao Xuetang used to think that these were the only copies collected by Concubine Xie, but now it seems that it is very likely that these books do not belong to this era at all!

This is also why Concubine Xie never showed her literary talent to the outside world. When she was dying, in addition to dividing the land between her and Lin Shaoshu, Concubine Xie also instructed her not to circulate the rare books and the contents on them to the world.

Today, Ye Jin showed up at Litang Residence in a sneaky way. Xiao Xuetang didn't believe any of Ye Jin's excuses. She thought that Ye Jin might have guessed the origin of Concubine Xie? Or, he wanted to get something from Concubine Xie.

Just when Xiao Xuetang was staring at the books in a daze, Su came in.

Seeing Su, Xiao Xuetang remembered that before Concubine Xie got married, she had the best relationship with her aunt. Some things that she couldn't figure out might be answered in front of Su.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xuetang didn't even care about her favorite sweet rice wine soup. She came to Su and said sweetly, "Aunt, you came at the right time. I was just about to ask you something."

Su had no daughter, and she liked this pretty, sweet-smelling niece the most. She smiled and said, "Just say whatever you want to say. If it's about the regent, your aunt can also help convince your uncle not to embarrass him..."

Xie Yuhong found out that Lin Xun had actually come to visit the Xie family without telling him. He was so angry after almost spending the night there that he almost went to Shuiyunju to complain to the old princess, but was stopped by Su.

The two children were in love with each other, and Emperor Yonghui had granted their marriage. It was a match made in heaven. Why would an old and confused man like him interfere?

Xiao Xuetang's face flushed, and she said, "Aunt, I want to tell you something serious."

Su was about to ask if the marriage between her and Lin Xun was a serious matter, but she knew that girls were shy, so she didn't mention it. She poured herself a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Then why are you so sad after coming back?"

"It's the Queen Mother and my aunt."

Xiao Xuetang expressed her confusion, "The Queen Mother obviously loves Lin Shaoshu very much, but why was she always indifferent to my aunt in the past? Also, my aunt was obviously a princess at the time, so why was she demoted to a concubine? Moreover, although my grandfather and uncle were angry, they did not react much..."

Although the Xie family was already in decline at that time, they still had roots in Kyoto. If the Xie family had intervened when Concubine Xie was bullied so much in Prince Lin's Mansion, perhaps the tragedy of that year could have been avoided.

"cough!"

Su, who was drinking tea, almost choked on the tea. When Concubine Xie was mentioned, Su reacted strongly. If Xiao Xuetang had not been quick-witted, she would have almost smashed the teacup in her hand.

"This happened so many years ago, why bring it up?"

Su said dryly, "Now that your uncle has been reinstated and His Majesty is no longer pursuing the matter, why do you still mention her?"

"I don't think it's that simple."

Xiao Xuetang said: "The Queen Mother has recently made a lot of small moves for Lin Shaoshu. I don't think she will let the Xie family go so easily. If my aunt knows something, please tell me so that I can make some preparations early."

Seeing Xiao Xuetang's solemn expression, Su frowned, as if hesitating about something.

Finally, she sighed and said...

"Now that you've grown up, there are some things I should tell you."

"Think about it, your uncles are such protective people. How could they watch their sister being bullied? In this matter, the Imperial Concubine and our Xie family were in the wrong first..."

"What??"

Xiao Xuetang didn't know what she was thinking of. She widened her eyes in surprise and hesitated to speak...

Su looked at Xiao Xuetang's surprised expression, her mouth twitched, and she said, "What nonsense are you thinking? Your aunt didn't do anything to offend Prince Lin, it's just..."

The yard was quiet at this time, with no outsiders around, only a cat lazily nestling in Xiao Xuetang's arms.

"Have you ever heard of the Seven Stars in a Row fate?"

Xiao Xuetang touched her chin and tilted her head to think for a moment. The kitten in her arms also tilted its head like her. The man and the cat had surprisingly similar expressions.

Su was originally in a heavy mood, but she couldn't help but laugh when she saw this...

"I've read in a book that according to Zi Wei Dou Shu, being born with such a destiny is a good omen. The queen of Dayin is..."

Su retracted her gaze and sighed, "When your aunt was born, there was a sign of seven stars in a row. At that time, your grandfather was familiar with the art of fortune-telling and figured out the fate of the imperial concubine... At that time, the government was in turmoil, and the Xie family was not sure whether a girl with such a fate would bring good or bad luck, so they kept the matter a secret. Who knew that what happened later was completely beyond their expectations."

No one expected that Xie Wanyue would become famous in Kyoto at a young age and would marry Prince Lin as his concubine.

At that time, the emperor was Prince Lin's elder brother, Emperor Huaimin.
