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

Zhuying came back from Jingzhou with Xie. Among the servants who came back from Jingzhou, they instinctively leaned towards Ye Jin between Xiao Xuetang and Ye Jin.

Not to mention, the current situation in the Marquis' Mansion is very clear. Everyone knows that Xiao Xuetang is not favored. As long as Ye Jin passes the test at the family recognition banquet tomorrow and registers her under the name of Xie, Xiao Xuetang will no longer have a place in the Marquis' Mansion!

Even when Xiao Yi had previously allowed Xiao Xuetang to manage Litangju separately from the other houses in the Marquis' Mansion, it seemed to outsiders that Xiao Yi disliked Xiao Xuetang.

After Zhuying left Litangju, he went straight to Ye Jin's Zhuijinxuan to report.

"Miss, Xiao Xuetang has already accepted the dress. I think she likes it very much."

Hearing this, Ye Jin raised a smug smile, grabbed a handful of golden melon seeds and gave them to Zhu Ying, saying, "You did a great job on this."

Ye Jin had been a little short of money after spending money lavishly in the Marquis' Mansion some time ago, but now Ye Jin is not worried about the money at all.

After tomorrow, she will be the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's mansion. She will easily get the formula of spices from Xiao Xuetang. By then, the spice shop that is very profitable in Kyoto will all belong to her, Ye Jin!

……

Soon, it was the eighth day of June, a very auspicious day, and also the day that Xiao Yi had personally chosen for Ye Jin's family reunion banquet.

The scattered sunlight shines through the curtains, and the green darkness invades the gauze, turning the face into a blue.

On the small table beside the desk, lotus and jasmine were placed in a white porcelain vase, and agarwood was rising from a gilded incense burner, the fragrance was immersive...

Xiao Xuetang opened her eyes and was stunned for a moment before she remembered that she was still in the Marquis' Mansion.

Bi Hen brought in some water, and then Xiao Xuetang washed and dressed.

The old and peeling dressing table was replaced with a carved yellow pear wood one, on which were placed various jewellery brought back from the old lady, as well as several exquisite makeup boxes containing Kyoto's popular rouge and powder.

In the room, there was a screen stand, and hanging on the stand was a red dress with wide sleeves and a waist.

Xiao Xuetang walked to the dressing table with sleepy eyes. She was wearing a white inner garment, and her long silky hair was lazily scattered behind her. Her plain clothes and hair made her look even more elegant and graceful.

It is like a newly blossoming crabapple, shining brightly in the morning light.

"I will help the young lady change her clothes."

Bihen took off the red dress and put it on Xiao Xuetang. Qiyue felt a little uneasy and said, "Today is Miss Jin's family reunion banquet. Why did Madam give such an extravagant dress? Will there be any problem?"

Bi Hen was stunned.

When the clothes were delivered yesterday, she simply thought they were beautiful and never thought much about it.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Xuetang raised her hand and said with a smile on her face, "The clothes were sent by my mother, so what's the problem? If we don't wear this today, we will be letting them down."

Although Xiao Xuetang had a smile on his face, Qiyue and Bihen somehow felt that Xiao Xuetang's expression at this moment was a little... chilling!

But when Xiao Xuetang put on the red dress, Qiyue and Bihen were immediately stunned by her beauty and were speechless for a long time.

Xiao Xuetang was born with a beautiful and charming appearance, but she usually liked to wear plain clothes, which diluted the captivating temptation between her eyebrows.

At this time, she changed into a red dress, with her long hair untied, standing between the intersection of light and shadow, making the crimson and golden-stamen crabapple flowers behind her lose their color.

It is said that the eldest daughter of the Xiao family is famous in Chang'an for her talent and learning, but compared to her talent and learning, her appearance is the best in Chang'an.

It’s just that the old lady of the Xiao family has a serious and old-fashioned personality, and she has always disliked the eldest daughter’s flamboyance.

But he turned a pretty little girl into a mature and rigid person.

"Young lady is so beautiful!"

Bi Hen came back to his senses after a while, and said with regret: "Young lady also likes this dress, right? In fact, red is the most suitable color, but the old lady has too many rules and does not allow us to wear brightly colored clothes. She said it is a family rule, but other people can wear whatever they want. This rule is aimed at young lady. Isn't this bullying our young lady because she has no father or mother..."

Qiyue was also stunned by Xiao Xuetang's appearance and was speechless. However, after hearing Bihen's words, she patted her with a smile and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, little hoof? The Marquis' wife is fine. You are cursing them."

Bi Hen knew she had said something wrong and stuck out her tongue, but Xiao Xuetang was not angry at all.

It would be better for someone to have no parents and live a carefree life than to have parents like Xiao Yi.

Xiao Xuetang sat in front of the mirror. Qiyue was about to tie up Xiao Xuetang's hair when she heard Xiao Xuetang say, "Today, I want to do my makeup myself."

In her previous life, she lived in a remote farm outside of Kyoto, but she also heard about Ye Jin, the adopted daughter of the Marquisate. When she first appeared, her unique peach blossom makeup amazed the whole of Kyoto...

At the same time, outside the window of Litangju, a pair of eyes stared at Xiao Xuetang after she changed her clothes, and then she retreated quietly.

……

Marquis Yong'an gave his adopted daughter enough face and pomp. Not only did he invite the elders of the Xiao family as witnesses, but he also invited most of the aristocratic families in Kyoto as guests.

The sun was scorching in June, but the hot weather could not stop everyone's desire to see the beauty of the adopted daughter of the Marquis's Mansion.

"Have you heard that the adopted daughter of the Marquis of Yong'an is truly an extraordinary woman. Not only is she proficient in medicine and saved the wife of the Marquis of Yong'an and the queen, but she is also very knowledgeable and is no less knowledgeable than any other man. At that time in Jingzhou, she and her brother Xiao Yu were known as the twin pillars of the time."

Xiao Yu, the eldest son of the Xiao family, was a well-known talent in Kyoto. When people heard that Ye Jin was as famous as Xiao Yu, they admired her even more.

"I heard that the woman is a business genius and has a huge fortune. She brought a carriage full of gold, silver and jewelry when she came to the Marquis's residence to pay her respects. She lives in the Yong'an Marquis's residence and spends her own money on food and clothing."

"I see. I originally thought that this was some orphan girl who married into the Yong'an Marquis's mansion, but I didn't expect that she was such a woman of integrity. No wonder the Yong'an Marquis adopted her as his adopted daughter and even registered her as his legitimate wife."

"This adopted daughter of the Marquisate is so brilliant, and the eldest daughter of the Marquisate is even more ordinary."

The people below were discussing quietly. Lin Shaoshu, who was standing nearby, suddenly turned pale with anger as he listened. He was about to step forward to argue, but was stopped by Mr. Wen standing nearby.

Mr. Wen said to Lin Shaoshu, "Your Highness, today is a big day for the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion, so we shouldn't cause any trouble."

Ruyi said indignantly: "Sir, didn't you hear what those people said about the eldest lady? The eldest lady is your highness's fiancée. They look down on the eldest lady Xiao, which means they look down on your highness..."

Mr. Wen frowned slightly and rebuked Ruyi, "Although Your Highness has an engagement with the Marquis' Mansion, the eldest daughter of the Xiao family has not yet married. How can she be compared with Your Highness?"

Ruyi wanted to say something, but Lin Shaoshu stopped her and said, "Forget it, sir, you are right. The purpose of our visit today is to meet Xuetang first."

Ever since Lin Shaoshu met Xiao Xuetang at the Marquis' Mansion last time, Xiao Xuetang refused Lin Shaoshu's subsequent invitations with various reasons.

Lin Shaoshu didn't know why Xiao Xuetang suddenly seemed like a different person, avoiding him and being extremely cold. Could it be that she had noticed something?

More importantly, without Xiao Xuetang's contact, Lin Shaoshu hadn't heard from the Xie family in the south for a long time.
