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

Three days ago...

After confirming the date of the family recognition banquet, Ye Jin ordered several sets of ready-made clothes from Jinyifang as a gift for the young ladies in the Marquis' Mansion.

"Send that red pomegranate skirt to Litangju. This is a gift I prepared specifically for Xiao Xuetang."

The maid Cuilu was confused and asked Ye Jin, "Didn't the young lady always dislike the girl from Litangju? Why did you give her such a nice dress?"

Cuilu, like Qiaoniang, is a maid brought by Ye Jin from Jingzhou and is very loyal to Ye Jin.

Hearing Cui Lu's question, Ye Jin's mouth curled up into a subtle smile, and asked back: "Does this pomegranate skirt look good?"

Cuilu nodded without any hesitation and said, "Of course it looks good. This dress is as bright as fire and the color is dazzling. Three days later is your big day, young lady, you should wear it."

Ye Jin said, "You are right... This dress is as red as fire. If it were to catch fire in front of everyone, what do you think Xiao Xuetang would do?"

"That young lady will definitely die!"

“Even if she wasn’t burned to death or injured, the family reunion banquet was held in the ancestral hall that day, and in public, if the young lady’s clothes suddenly burned, it would definitely be regarded as a bad omen by the people in the Marquis’ Mansion. And if they want to put out the fire, they can only take off their clothes in public. If they do that, the young lady will definitely become a joke in Kyoto in the future, and she will have no face to stay in the Marquis’ Mansion.”

Ye Jin's smile deepened, but his eyes were cold and chilling as he said, "I just want Xiao Xuetang to be ruined and get out of the Marquis' Mansion!"

Cui Lu was puzzled: "Miss, this is a great idea, but... is there any way in the world to make clothes spontaneously combust in public?"

"Phosphorus powder!"

"A large amount of phosphorus powder is mixed into the clothes, and then exposed to the sun. When the temperature reaches a certain level, the clothes will naturally burn. And the day of the recognition ceremony happened to be a sunny day."

"Also, I've observed that for Feng Shui reasons, no trees are planted around the ancestral hall in this mansion, so while we were waiting that day, we just had to make sure Xiao Xuetang was standing in the sun."

"Of course, to ensure that nothing goes wrong, I will secretly sprinkle a layer of phosphorus powder on Xiao Xuetang's body before going to the ancestral hall under the pretext of giving her jewelry."

Therefore, Ye Jin chose to give Xiao Xuetang the eight-treasure gold hairpin that she loved so much.

Because the gem on the hairpin was gorgeous and dazzling, the reflected light accelerated flammability, and he could take the opportunity of giving the hairpin to do something to Xiao Xuetang.

Xiao Xuetang, that idiot, may be a little clever, but he is ultimately an ignorant and foolish ancient person. How can he compare to her knowledge reserves from the modern world?

And she was not afraid of being discovered because these ancient people would not know that white phosphorus is flammable.

By then, I'm afraid even Xiao Xuetang herself would think that her clothes catching fire was a punishment from her ancestors.

Ye Jin listened to Xiao Yunni's exclamation, and a smug look flashed across her eyes. Everything was going according to her plan...

From today onwards, Ye Jin will be the legitimate daughter of the Marquis' Mansion, and Xiao Xuetang will be regarded as an unlucky person and expelled from the Marquis' Mansion!

……

Ye Jin held the purple hair in his hand, his right hand trembling slightly with excitement. At this moment, he suddenly felt a burning sensation behind him.

"Oh no! Oh no! Miss Jin's clothes are on fire!"

Under everyone's horrified gaze, the long pink skirt trailing on the ground behind Ye Jin instantly caught fire. Ye Jin screamed "Ah" and dropped the pen in her hand.

"Quickly bring some water..."

Madam Nan screamed in panic, but the fire was so strange that it couldn't be put out no matter how hard she tried.

Ye Jin's two maids helped Ye Jin pat the flames off his body while helping Ye Jin take off his clothes.

Unexpectedly, in the panic, the flames on the clothes swept onto the curtain of the ancestral hall.

"Hurry, we must not let them burn down the ancestral hall!"

The old lady screamed and directed people to put out the fire, and then said: "Be careful not to touch the tablet..."

With a loud crash, some careless servant bumped into something and all the tablets in the front row fell down.

Among those who fell down was the tablet of the old marquis.

"Do not……"

A 'click' sound.

Ye Jin was busy taking off his clothes to put out the fire, and he stepped on the tablet that had fallen to the ground...

The old lady couldn't catch her breath and fainted.

"Old lady!"

"Mother, go get the doctor."

Suddenly there was chaos in the ancestral hall. No one expected that such a good ceremony would turn out like this.

"Why did this piece of clothing catch fire for no reason? Could it be a curse?"

"What do you mean by evil? I think it's because Ye Jin and the Marquis's family are not compatible, so the ancestors in this ancestral hall don't agree."

The old lady was being pinched hard on her philtrum when she woke up slowly. When she heard these words, she almost fainted again.

Seeing that things were developing in an unexpected direction, Ye Jin made a prompt decision, knelt down and cried, "Grandma, mother, you have to believe Jin'er. Someone is definitely framing Jin'er for what happened today!"

At this time, Ye Jin's gorgeous outer robe had been stripped off, leaving her only in a white inner garment. Her carefully applied makeup had been smudged, and she looked disheveled and pitiful, causing many people to feel sympathy for her.

Xiao Yunni held a round fan and said sarcastically: "I told you, this pheasant can't turn into a phoenix. Once it is roasted by the fire, it will reveal its true form!"

"Puff!" The ladies from the noble families who were surrounding her couldn't help but laugh. At this moment, Ye Jin looked as embarrassed as possible.

At this moment, a cloak was draped over Ye Jin...

It’s Mrs. Nan!

Seeing Madam Nan's calm eyes, Ye Jin, who had been panicking and collapsed, also calmed down at this moment...

Madam Nan looked at Madam Xie with dissatisfaction and accused her, "Madam Xiao, I have always respected your kindness, but I didn't expect that you would treat your adopted daughter so harshly in front of everyone today. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if this gets out?"

At this time, Ye Jin was wearing an outer coat and silently crying behind Madam Nan. She looked very pitiful. The onlookers couldn't help but say, "After all, Ye Jin is Xie's adopted daughter. After such a big incident, Xie didn't care about her as much as Madam Nan, an outsider. It's really not easy to live under someone else's roof."

"That's right. Xie adopted Ye Jin as her adopted daughter. Who knows if she is coveting the huge fortune left by that girl? The Marquis's mansion is really dishonest in this matter."

Facing the accusations from everyone, Xie was always tongue-tied and didn't know how to defend herself. Xiao Xuetang just sneered and said, "Everyone, today Ye Jin almost burned down the ancestral hall and crushed the tablets in our mansion. Mother didn't punish her and immediately expelled her from the mansion. It was already a favor. Why should she suffer any injustice?"

The people who originally stood on the moral high ground looked at the overturned altar and the tablet on the ground in the Marquis' Mansion and dared not speak.

"And Madam Nan, you care so much about Ye Jin that people who don't know would think that Ye Jin is your biological daughter."

Although Xiao Xuetang had a smile on his face, his eyes were fierce. Even Madam Nan, who was always very cunning, couldn't help but feel her chest tremble at this moment!

Xiao Xuetang looked around with a cold gaze, looking at the embarrassed Ye Jin, she sneered in her heart, this was the first gift - a burnt dress to give Ye Jin a taste of his own medicine.

It’s just the beginning and Ye Jin can’t stand it?
