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

Xiao Xuetang suddenly raised his eyes to look at Xiao Yi, and suddenly asked: "Father cares so much about this marriage, is it because this marriage was granted by the late emperor and out of respect for the late emperor, or...Father wants to take a gamble and bring glory to the Marquis' Mansion!"

Although the crown prince was born to Queen Wang and had the support of powerful relatives like the Wang family, he was mediocre and lustful, and was actually not capable of any important task.

In comparison, Lin Shaoshu's performance in recent years has been much better. Even though it is not obvious at present, and everyone says that the Third Prince is not interested in worldly affairs, there are already shrewd people who secretly compare the Crown Prince with Lin Shaoshu.

Xiao Yi, who is good at business, is one of them!

Before Xiao Xuetang said this, Xiao Yi saw Xiao Xuetang remained silent. Thinking of his eldest daughter's dull personality, his brows furrowed again and again, and he softened his tone and said, "Father doesn't mean to blame you. Father also knows that you have always been well-behaved and polite. It was not your fault that the Third Prince came to the Marquis' Mansion that day. You are engaged, so there is no need to be so shy."

The two voices of father and daughter sounded almost at the same time.

One voice was sharp and mocking; the other voice was gentle and persuasive, with hidden calculations. When the words fell at the same time, the two people's faces changed at the same time!

Xiao Xuetang sneered. The face that Xiao Yi remembered as being gentle and respectful now had a sharp look, and his eyes were full of sarcasm and ridicule...

In his previous life, after learning that she had been missing for a night, Xiao Yi was so shocked and angry that he wanted to strangle her to death outside with a white silk cloth to avoid dirtying the mansion. But in this life, Xiao Yi actually softened his tone and let her take the initiative to get close to Lin Shaoshu.

All rules and etiquette were thrown out of the window.

Not only are people's hearts fickle in this world, but the rules and etiquette that so-called aristocratic families abide by can also change with the flow of interests.

It’s ridiculous that in his previous life, Xiao Xuetang only saw through the hypocritical tactics of these people until his death.

She actually put herself under layers of moral shackles, trapped herself in Lin Shaoshu's cold palace, and died in the cold stone chamber of the marquis's mansion.

Xiao Yi's expression of shock and anger at this moment was no less than when he knew that Xiao Xuetang had fallen into the hands of bandits for a night and might have lost her chastity and brought shame to the Marquis' Mansion!

Xiao Yi was horrified and raised his hand to slap Xiao Xuetang. At this moment, Xie happened to come to the study and was shocked when he saw this scene.

"My Lord, what are you doing?"

Normally, Xiao Yi's expression was gentle in front of Xie most of the time. This was the first time Xie saw Xiao Yi with such a terrifying expression.

After hearing what Xie said, Xiao Yi lowered his raised hand again, but the anger on his face had not subsided. He glared at Xiao Xuetang and said, "Evil girl, go to the ancestral hall and kneel down to copy the family rules ten times. If you don't finish copying, you are not allowed to have dinner."

Xiao Yi had a very ugly look on his face. He was angry at Xiao Xuetang's defiance, but even more... terrified that the secret plan in his heart was ruthlessly exposed by Xiao Xuetang.

"What on earth is going on? Why can't you even let me eat?"

Xie looked bewildered and wanted to plead for Xiao Xuetang, but Ye Jin, who came with Xie, advised: "Mother, father is teaching sister the rules. If you go to persuade her at this time, it will be counterproductive."

Mrs. Xie was stunned, and while she was stunned, Xiao Xuetang had already turned and walked towards the ancestral hall.

Looking at Xiao Xuetang's departing back, Ye Jin's lips curled up into a slightly sinister smile.

Xiao Xuetang is beautiful but she is not loved by her parents at home and she doesn't know how to win a man's heart. It is only a matter of time before she loses to her!

Seeing Xiao Xuetang leaving, Xie became a little worried and prepared to follow to take a look.

Xiao Yi was still angry and called out to Xie!

He looked at Mrs. Xie with a little dissatisfaction and said, "Jin'er has been in the mansion for some time, why is she still living in the guest room?"

Upon hearing this, Xie's attention immediately shifted from Xiao Xuetang, and she said with a guilty look, "There have been a lot of things going on in the mansion recently, and I neglected Jin'er for a while. I will ask the maid to clean up the yard later..."

Xiao Yi said: "Let's clean up the Zhuijinxuan tomorrow."

Xie was a little surprised when she heard this: "Zhuijinxuan?"

Zhuijinxuan was originally built for the eldest daughter of the Marquisate when the old Marquis was still alive. According to the rules of the Marquisate, Xiao Xuetang should live in it.

It's just that Xiao Xuetang was weak and sickly when he was a child, and he lived mostly in the Xie family and the Lin Wang Mansion. Later, when he returned to the Marquis' Mansion, the old lady randomly picked a courtyard for Xiao Xuetang to live in, and did not mention anything about letting Xiao Xuetang move into Zhuijinxuan.

Xie also knew that the old lady didn't like her and her daughter, and that Xiao Yi had never cared much about the affairs of the rear house. She had always been weak in character and naturally wouldn't fight for anything. Seeing that Xiao Xuetang was living in Litangju and it was not bad, she didn't mention Zhuijinxuan anymore.

But today, Xiao Yi took the initiative to suggest that Ye Jin, his adopted daughter, move into Zhuijin Pavilion. Even though Xie loved Ye Jin very much, she felt that something was wrong. She rarely defended herself in front of Xiao Yi, saying, "Zhuijin Pavilion is locked all year round. If we let Jin'er move in rashly, I'm afraid our mother will be unhappy."

Xiao Yi said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, I'm here with my mother."

Hearing the confident tone of the smile, Xie, who had always obeyed Xiao Yi's orders, felt a faint, subtle emotion in her heart that she hadn't felt for a long time...

It seems like it shouldn't be like this?

Ye Jin, who was standing quietly aside, had a mysterious smile on his face.

In just half a day, the entire marquis's mansion knew the news that Xiao Xuetang was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall and Ye Jin was going to move to Zhuijinxuan.

"What's the big deal about whether they are legitimate or not? In this mansion, whoever the Marquis' wife favors is the eldest daughter of our mansion!"

"That's right. Miss Jin saved Madam's life. I heard that when we were at the border, Miss Jin was in charge of all matters in the mansion. She is like a biological daughter to me."

"I also heard that the Marquis has asked the clan leader of the Marquisate to record Miss Jin in the family tree of our Marquisate. From now on, the eldest son's family will have two young ladies!"

The people below were talking about it, and Ye Jin was listening on the side, with a slight smile on his face...

She was one step closer to her plan.

Before the master and servant reached the side room, a timid voice came from behind them: "Hello, Sister Jin."

Ye Jin looked back and saw that the girl was wearing a light blue skirt and a jade hairpin flower on her hair. She looked elegant and lovely.

Seeing Ye Jin sizing up the girl for a long time without saying anything, the maid next to her thought that Ye Jin didn't recognize her, so she quietly reminded Ye Jin, "Miss, this is Miss Ruoruo from the third room."

Xiao Ruoruo, the third daughter of the family.

Her family background is not as noble as Xiao Xuetang's, nor is she as favored as Xiao Yunni, but she is well-known in Kyoto and is a talented woman.

More importantly, Ye Jin saw something called ambition in her eyes.

Things are getting more and more interesting...

She seemed to have found a knife that was better than the one used by Nanny Lai!
