After the eldest daughter was reborn, the whole family knelt down and begged for forgiveness
Chapter 43 Provocation at the door
This is Ye Jin’s first time to come to Litangju.
She quickly scanned the layout of Xiao Xuetang's room.
Even if Ye Jin didn't know much, he could tell that the decoration in Xiao Xuetang's house was so exquisite and valuable, which was not consistent with the rumored "shabby" eldest lady.
How many secrets does Xiao Xuetang have that she doesn't know about?
Ye Jin looked around with a gloomy look. Just as she reached out to touch the books Xiao Xuetang had placed on the shelf, Xiao Xuetang behind the curtain said, "Why didn't you let someone know that Sister Jin was here?"
Ye Jin didn't look embarrassed at all, and said with a smile, "We are all sisters, why should you be so formal?"
Seeing that Xiao Xuetang's expression was still cold, Ye Jin's smile became even sweeter and she said, "I've been in the mansion for a long time, but I haven't seen my sister come to sit with me. Jin'er can only come to see my sister in person."
Xiao Xuetang smiled sarcastically and said, "I don't like to socialize with people. You should come here less often in the future."
Hearing Xiao Xuetang's order to expel him, Ye Jin pretended not to know and continued, "I used to live in the side room, so it must be inconvenient for my sister to come to my place. But my sister was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall all night yesterday. I guess she doesn't know yet. Father has ordered people to clean up the Zhuijin Pavilion for me to live in. It will be much more convenient for me to visit my sister in the future."
At this point, Ye Jin suddenly covered his mouth and pretended to blame himself, saying, "Oh, I heard from the people below that only the eldest daughter of the Marquis's family can live in Zhuijinxuan, but now my father asked me to move in. Isn't this stealing my sister's things? Will my sister be angry?"
Ye Jin had a sweet smile on his face, but his words were like a knife hidden in honey, and every word pierced Xiao Xuetang's heart.
Xiao Xuetang looked calm and unmoved, "Why should I be angry? You always like to pick up things I don't want anyway."
These few words instantly changed Ye Jin's expression.
Ye Jin never expected that he would not be able to show off in front of Xiao Xuetang, but was mocked by Xiao Xuetang instead. His face looked a little ugly, but thinking of his purpose today, he still endured it...
She looked around, and finally her eyes swept across the gold, silver and jade ornaments on the treasure chest, and locked onto the bookshelf. A trace of greed flashed in her eyes...
"Sister, you have so many books here. Can you lend me a few?"
As he spoke, he reached out to take those yellowed books.
As far as she knew, the Xie family was a family of scholars, and they loved their niece Xiao Xuetang very much. Five years ago, the Xie family encountered a sudden change, and they certainly couldn't take all the ancient books away, so they might be in Xiao Xuetang's hands.
If these things could be used by her...
Seeing that Ye Jin looked innocent but actually had a look in his eyes that looked like he was plotting something, Xiao Xuetang sneered in his heart and grabbed Ye Jin's wrist.
"It hurts! Xiao Xuetang, what are you doing!"
Ye Jin exclaimed, rubbed his red wrist, and blamed Xiao Xuetang.
Xiao Xuetang sneered: "Ye Jin, I told you that I hate it most when others touch my things. If you touch them again next time, I will not be polite."
Xiao Xuetang's cold tone made Ye Jin shudder, and then he became very angry...
As a modern person with a wide range of experience, how could she be frightened by Xiao Xuetang's aura? !
At the same time, a subtle sense of pride flashed through his mind.
Xiao Xuetang's possessiveness is so strong. She just wanted to lend her a few books but her face turned so ugly. If... Xiao Xuetang knew what happened between her and Lin Shaoshu, how heartbroken she would be.
Now, Ye Jin became even more determined to get Lin Shaoshu.
Even if it wasn't for the position of queen, she wanted to disgust Xiao Xuetang!
Ye Jin's expression changed again and again for a while, and suddenly he changed his vicious look, and a few tears fell from his eyes: "I know that my sister is unhappy about moving to Zhuijinxuan, but this is my father's wish and it is difficult to disobey his order. If my sister really minds, I'd better not move and continue to live in the guest room."
Before Xiao Xuetang could speak, she heard Xie's anxious and somewhat sharp voice: "Xuetang, what are you doing?"
After saying that, Xie took a quick step forward and protected Ye Jin behind her.
Xie came too suddenly, and she had always been slender and thin, so she didn't know where she got the strength from. Xiao Xuetang's body swayed and she almost hit the corner of the table.
Fortunately, Qiyue and Bihen were standing nearby and quickly protected Xiao Xuetang, but Xiao Xuetang was still hit hard in the abdomen.
Some dull pain.
Xiao Xuetang didn't react and her brain went blank for a moment. When she came back to her senses, the image she saw was Xie protecting Ye Jin tightly.
So, a protective attitude that Xiao Xuetang had never seen before...
Everything happened so fast that Qiyue and Bihen were stunned for a moment before they reacted. They exclaimed and went forward to help Xiao Xuetang up, but Xiao Xuetang had already stood up by holding on to the table.
Mrs. Xie herself seemed stunned. She looked at her hands and didn't react for a long time.
Was it she who pushed her own daughter just now?
"Xuetang, I'm not..."
Mrs. Xie looked flustered and wanted to explain something, but Xiao Xuetang held her abdomen and looked at Mrs. Xie with no expression in her eyes.
Compared to the pure hatred of Xiao Yi and Ye Jin, Xiao Xuetang's feelings towards his mother are much more complicated.
It was she who gave her life, and it was also she who gave her the few warm moments she had in the Marquis' Mansion!
Like most mothers, Xie has a son and a daughter, and her heart naturally leans towards the smart and healthy eldest son. But it's not that she doesn't love her daughter, it's just that her love is limited.
So when Xie was faced with having to choose one child to stay in the Marquis' Mansion, she pushed Xiao Xuetang off the carriage without hesitation. After that, she went to Jingzhou, where she regretted her actions immensely. She was bedridden due to missing Xiao Xuetang so much that Marquis Yong'an found Ye Jin, who was of the same age as Xiao Xuetang, to comfort Xie.
Even so, Xiao Xuetang still couldn't hate Xie.
Children, especially daughters, have a natural empathy for their mothers.
She knew how difficult it had been for the Xie family over the years.
Although Xiao Yi did not take a concubine, between Xie and Old Madam Xiao, he was always filial to his mother.
Madam Xiao was a cunning person and had caused Xie's first child to have a miscarriage.
Before she had recovered from her miscarriage, Old Madam Xiao put someone in Xiao Yi's room. Although Xiao Yi was filial, he never agreed to take a concubine.
Later, it was not until Mrs. Xie hired a doctor to prescribe medicine, became pregnant, and gave birth to the eldest son of the Xiao family that she took away the rights of the housekeeper that Mrs. Xiao was able to be content for a few years.
A few years later, Xie became pregnant again. Old Madam Xiao used the same old trick and used the excuse that Xie was not fit to serve Marquis Yong'an, and directly brought Marquis Yong'an's distant cousin to the Marquis's mansion.
Xie was forced to give birth to Xiao Xuetang prematurely, and both mother and daughter almost died at the hands of Old Madam Xiao.
To outsiders, Xiao Yi, who took great care of his wife, acted as if nothing had happened.
In his previous life, Xiao Xuetang felt extremely sorry for Xie. In his new life, Xiao Xuetang hated everyone except Xie.
but……
Now it seems that some people are not worth it.
