Looking at the familiar handwriting, Qi Yusheng saw a subtle look flashing in his eyes, and said, "It's her again?"

Seeing Lin Xun looking over, Qi Yusheng's eyes flashed with a mysterious smile, and he said: "The Inspection Office has received some news one after another these days. That person seems to be able to predict the future and just solved the problem of the Inspection Office. The news that Baicaotang maliciously hoarded medicines and caused a serious epidemic in Kyoto and the news about the drug dealers in the north were passed on by her. It is really hard to tell whether she is an enemy or a friend. Now she has sent another letter..."

As Qi Yusheng spoke, he unfolded the envelope. After seeing the contents clearly, Qi Yusheng couldn't help but gasp!

When he was about to say something, the carriage had already stopped at Shuiyunju.

Lin Xun never talked about court affairs in front of the old princess. Qi Yusheng knew it and shut up automatically.

Tianshu parked the carriage, and when Lin Xun got out, he glanced at him calmly with a calm gaze. Just one glance made the hairs on Tianshu's back stand up.

Did he say something wrong today?

When he was feeling anxious, he heard Lin Xun's cold voice saying, "Next time if you say anything more, you will be sent to guard the border town."

Tianshu...

As a close relative, Tianshu couldn't even guess what his master was thinking.

Li Tang was in the middle at this time, and Qi Yue also didn't quite understand what her young lady was thinking.

How could our young lady, a lady from a noble family who usually never leaves the house, be associated with spies and rebels?

Moreover... ever since the Marquis and his wife returned to Kyoto, Qiyue felt that she seemed to be unable to understand her own young lady more and more!

Thinking of this, Qiyue couldn't help but feel anxious. She wanted to find Xiao Xuetang immediately to ask him about it, but she didn't expect Xiao Xuetang to keep her in suspense.

"Just wait and see..."

Qiyue's curiosity was aroused, but here Xiao Xuetang held his cloak and found a comfortable place in the ancestral hall to sleep.

A bright moon shone into the ancestral hall through the window, as cold as frost. That night, Xiao Xuetang was half asleep and half awake, dreaming about some things from his past life.

In her previous life, everyone said that it was her, Xiao Xuetang, who was marrying above her station.

The unfavored daughter of the Marquis's mansion, who had no talent or virtue, became the empress because of the marriage granted by Emperor Huaimin. Everyone felt that she, Xiao Xuetang, had taken great advantage.

But no one knew that it was because of Xiao Xuetang's existence that the Xie family was willing to help Lin Shaoshu; it was also because of Xiao Xuetang's good management that before Ye Jin appeared, the money that Lin Shaoshu used to support his advisers and secretly win over court officials was all paid by Xiao Xuetang.

Xiao Xuetang once helped Lin Shaoshu improve his status in the eyes of scholars. Xiao Xuetang worked hard to sort out ancient books, and finally the classics were compiled into a book, but the signature was Lin Shaoshu's name.

When there was an epidemic in the army, Xiao Xuetang went into the military camp in person and worked with the doctors to develop a prescription for treating the plague. He helped Lin Shaoshu stabilize the morale of the army, but what he got in return was imprisonment in the cold palace and Ye Jin took over his place.

Xiao Xuetang's contribution behind Lin Shaoshu was glossed over, and only one person asked her...

“Is it worth it to be a bride for others?”

It seemed to be at a palace banquet...

The drinking and the dancing were in full swing. Lin Shaoshu sat in a high position. Next to him sat the charming imperial concubine. His eyes were fixed on Ye Jin.

She turned around suddenly and met a pair of deep, cold eyes.

In her previous life, the interactions between her and Lin Xun seemed to be far more than she thought!

Xiao Xuetang woke up from his dream with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.

The morning sunlight shone through the mandarin duck tiles, and it was a rare bright moment of the day in this solemn and cramped ancestral hall.

She stared at the fine dust for a long time, then rubbed her swollen forehead and suppressed the inexplicable palpitations in her heart.

Xiao Xuetang stretched lazily. The morning dew was a little chilly, so he came out of the ancestral hall wrapped in a cloak. He saw servants busying in and out all around him, and it was very lively.

"Hurry up, be careful, the Marquis personally ordered this Zhuijinxuan to be cleaned up for Miss Jin, and the old lady also agreed."

"Pull out all the weeds in the yard, and ask the gardener to bring some fashionable flowers and plants. Also, the window screens are old, so replace them with green ones. Miss Jin will be moving in in two days!"

The servants were busy coming in and out, and whether intentionally or unintentionally, the little maid holding the flowerpot bumped into Xiao Xuetang.

The flowerpot fell to the ground with a "bang", and the yellow mud splashed on the green skirt of Lian, which looked a bit ugly.

"Please forgive me, young lady. I have been busy helping Miss Jin move today. I didn't mean to offend you."

The maidservant apologized, but she didn't look guilty at all. When she looked at Xiao Xuetang, a hint of provocation flashed in her eyes...

Yes, now everyone in the Marquis’ Mansion knows that Miss Jin is the apple of the Marquis’ and his wife’s eye.

With a "pa" sound, a crisp slap hit the little maid's face. The little maid covered her face and looked at Xiao Xuetang in disbelief.

"Miss, I am a servant in Miss Jin's courtyard. Why did you hit me for no reason? Aren't you afraid that the Marquis will know?"

Xiao Xuetang laughed angrily: "When will it be Ye Jin's turn to be the boss of this Marquis' Mansion?"

Xiao Xuetang recognized this maid. She was a maid from the Marquis' Mansion. She didn't know what kind of magic potion Ye Jin had given her, but in just a few days, this maid was completely devoted to her. She even ignored the legitimate daughter of the Marquis' Mansion.

The leading nanny said, "Please forgive me, young lady. This maid is young and did not mean to offend you. Let me take her back and teach her a lesson."

Xiao Xuetang sneered and said nothing.

Qi Yue said, "No matter how young you are, you should know the difference between superiors and inferiors. Nanny Lin, she is ignorant, but you don't understand either. Let's not talk about the fact that the Marquis's family is still surnamed Xiao. My daughter is the legitimate eldest daughter, but this legitimate master is being bullied by someone from another family. If this gets out, people will laugh at this Marquis's family for being unruly! If the Marquis knows about this, not only will she, but even you, Nanny, lose your job."

At this time, Nanny Lin knew that Litangju was no longer the same as before. They had hit a hard nut, so she pinched the little maid and said, "You idiot, you can't even hold a flower pot properly. What's the use of these hands? Why don't you kneel down and kowtow to the young lady to admit your mistake, so that the young lady will be magnanimous and forgive you."

The originally complacent little maid saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "I know my fault, please forgive me, young lady..."

The little maidservant changed her arrogant attitude and knelt on the ground, kowtowed and admitted her mistake. She looked so pitiful.

But Xiao Xuetang looked cold and unmoved, and said, "You kneel here for two hours. When my anger subsides, you can stand up again."

"But Miss Jin is still waiting to be ordered..."

Nanny Lin wanted to plead for mercy, but Xiao Xuetang looked at her with a half-smile and said, "Nanny Lin, do you want to kneel with her?"

Facing Xiao Xuetang's cold gaze, Nanny Lin couldn't help but shudder, thinking of how Nanny Lai was sent to the government office by Xiao Xuetang yesterday...

This young lady's temperament is very different from before. She even dares to touch people around the old lady, let alone them?

At that moment, Nanny Lin regretted her decision very much!
