After the eldest daughter was reborn, the whole family knelt down and begged for forgiveness
Chapter 54: Madam Nan wants to stabilize and control the situation? Dream on!
Under Xiao Xuetang's sharp gaze, Madam Nan's eyelashes only trembled slightly, but she quickly returned to normal.
There was a hint of smile on her lips, but her face was extremely cold. She said with an extraordinary calmness: "How to deal with the matter of this ancestral hall is the business of your mansion. My mission today is just to witness Ye Jin's recognition of his relatives."
"Ye Jin..."
Madam Nan called Ye Jin's name in the chaos and said, "It's just a small matter, is it worth crying about? Write your name down in the family tree quickly. Tomorrow, go with your mother to pay respects to the queen."
Since there was an inexplicable fire that burned down the ancestral hall, the clan members would definitely not allow the recognition ceremony to continue.
but……
I never expected that Madam Nan would actually mention the Queen's name!
In addition to being the adopted daughter of Marquis Yong'an, Ye Jin is also the Queen's savior, and is not someone they can afford to offend.
"But burning down the ancestral hall might be a punishment from heaven. Do the elders really want to go against the will of their ancestors? Aren't you afraid that Ye Jin will bring disaster to the Marquis' Mansion?"
Xiao Xuetang's expression became stronger and more fierce than ever before, and the elders of the clan could not help but be shocked for a moment.
Madam Nan's face darkened slightly. She looked at Xiao Xuetang's cold eyes and finally revealed a hint of anger. She said in a threatening voice, "Xiao Xuetang, do you really want to make things difficult for the Ru'nan Palace and the Queen today?"
Xiao Xuetang smiled slightly and said, "I am just stating the facts. How can it be considered as going against the palace and the queen? Also, Madam Nan, you are just a concubine, can you represent the palace and the queen?"
Madam Nan had always considered herself noble because of the reliance placed on her by the King of Runan. All the noble ladies in the capital were very respectful to her, but she had never expected that she would be poked in the lungs by a little girl in public.
What's more, she's that bitch's daughter!
Madam Nan's expression finally cracked a little. She raised her hand high and was about to slap him when Xiao Xuetang said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Madam Nan, if you slap him like this, Ye Jin will really have no place to stand in the Marquis' Mansion."
Facing Xiao Xuetang's clear eyes, Madam Nan hesitated for a moment, but sneered for a moment and said sarcastically, "You think your mother can only kowtow to Ye Jin, so how can you, a mere unfavored daughter of the firstborn, stop Ye Jin?"
Xiao Xuetang said confidently: "Yes, I can't, but my father can..."
Madam Nan thought Xiao Xuetang had some hidden weapon, but she didn't expect that she would use the title of Marquis of Yong'an to pressure her. She was simply overestimating her own abilities.
Since Marquis Yong'an invited her to the Marquis' Mansion today to preside over the ceremony for Ye Jin, he must have made a decision and no one can change it.
She sneered and was about to say something when she saw Xiao Yi, who had not appeared for a long time, finally hurried over with people.
Seeing the chaos in the ancestral hall, even Xiao Yi, who had experienced many storms, almost fainted.
But he had no time to deal with the aftermath at this moment. He snatched the document and saw that there was no signature or seal on it. He actually breathed a sigh of relief!
The elders were also undecided at this time. Seeing Xiao Yi finally coming over, they asked, "My Lord, what do you think we should do about today's incident?"
Xiao Yi said: "I didn't think enough about recording Ye Jin in the family tree. Let's discuss this matter another day."
"Madams, the Marquis' Mansion is not welcoming enough today. We will hold it another day. The housekeeper will see the guests off for me."
Xiao Yi has always been calm and steady in his actions, but at this moment there was a hint of restlessness between his brows, as if... a disaster was about to happen.
Ye Jin couldn't believe it and asked Xiao Yi aggrievedly: "Father, why is this?"
Xiao Yi remained indifferent.
Even Madam Nan's expression changed. She frowned slightly and said to Xiao Yi, "My Lord, you personally invited me to the Marquis' Mansion to be a witness. Now you go back on your word. Who do you think I am?"
Her tone was a little sharp, and a trace of guilt flashed across Xiao Yi's brows, who had originally looked indifferent.
"Madam, your tone is really like that of a complaining woman. If you don't know better, you might think you are questioning a heartless man."
Xiao Xuetang was watching the fun silently from the side, and suddenly said something that made Xiao Yi and Madam Nan, two shrewd people, change their faces.
At that moment, Xiao Yi had no time to explain anything to Madam Nan. Before the people below could say anything, he asked the guards around him to send Madam Nan away.
When Ye Jin saw Madam Nan being sent away, he knew that he had lost his greatest supporter, and he looked at Xiao Xuetang with a vicious look!
"Xiao Xuetang, it's you. You must have framed me!"
Ye Jin had a ferocious look on his face at this time, and he looked at Xiao Xuetang with a sharp gaze.
Xiao Xuetang said innocently, "Sister, this dress caught fire by itself. What does it have to do with me?"
"Sister, think about it. Maybe you have done too many immoral things and have had thoughts that you shouldn't have. Today, you are being punished in front of the ancestral temple of the Marquisate..."
Xiao Xuetang deliberately lowered his voice when he said the last sentence.
"you!"
Ye Jin listened to Xiao Xuetang's cold voice, and at this moment he felt hatred and fear in his heart. He was enraged by Xiao Xuetang, and he lost his usual cautious planning in his anger. He raised his hand to slap Xiao Xuetang.
But before the slap landed on Xiao Xuetang's face, he was pushed away.
A handsome man stood up to Xiao Xuetang, his gentle face flashing a chill, "How dare you, who dares to act wildly in the Marquis' Mansion?"
Ye Jin staggered and looked at the man who was protecting Xiao Xuetang. His eyes were full of disbelief and he exclaimed, "Your Highness, I am Ah Jin. How could you do this to me!"
Obviously, they had a pleasant conversation in the teahouse last time, and Lin Shaoshu even praised her talent and extraordinary knowledge...
Lin Shaoshu had rushed over to support Xiao Xuetang, but when he heard that familiar voice, a hint of surprise flashed across his face.
Looking at the girl who was only wearing a middle-length dress and had unkempt hair and a dirty face, he took a long time to recognize her before he asked, "Jin'er, why are you here?"
The shock in Lin Shaoshu's eyes deeply hurt Ye Jin's heart!
Ye Jin knew that Lin Shaoshu would come to the Marquis' Mansion today. In Ye Jin's plan, today was the day when she would become the legitimate daughter of the Marquis' Mansion, and it was also the moment when she would formally recognize Lin Shaoshu.
By that time, Xiao Xuetang should have been expelled from the Marquis' Mansion, and Ye Jin would have no worries.
but……
Ye Jin never expected that the two would meet in such an embarrassing situation.
What made Ye Jin feel even worse was that Lin Shaoshu's protective attitude towards Xiao Xuetang made Ye Jin have a vague feeling of uneasiness, as if something was about to get out of control.
Today's family reunion banquet was disrupted halfway, and even Ye Jin didn't know what went wrong with Xiao Yi. Is she going to lose Lin Shaoshu too?
No, she would never allow this to happen!
