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

When Ye Jin heard about the military's herbal medicine, his body weakened and he almost fell to the ground.

Just now, Xiao Yi suddenly changed his attitude and refused to let her recognize her relatives. Could it be because the Regent and the Inspection Office have investigated the case to the Marquis' Mansion?

If this is true, will Xiao Yi hand her over?

An hour ago, Ye Jin was the daughter of the marquisate, the most popular girl in the world and was about to replace Xiao Xuetang. However, in just an hour, Ye Jin fell from the sky to the ground.

fortunately……

"Your Majesty, I have just explained that I was completely unaware of the herbal medicine sales."

Xiao Yi obviously didn't expect that his explanation in the study just now was not enough. Lin Xun didn't even give him the face of the dignified Marquis of Yong'an and questioned him about the herbs in public. His face looked a little ugly.

But that was the regent who held the power of life and death.

Xiao Yi knew better than anyone that although Lin Xun seemed cold-blooded and ruthless, he cared deeply about the lives of the soldiers who fought on the battlefield. This time, many people died because of the wound medicine incident. At that time, the officials involved in Jingzhou were killed in a river of blood. Unexpectedly, the matter was not over yet...

"Someone stole my official seal and stamped it on the official documents that were exempt from signature, which caused those stale herbs to flow into the army..."

As for who did it, Xiao Yi knew it clearly!

He was not a fool. He knew that the person who could enter and leave his study in Jingzhou, take away the official seal quietly, and manipulate the Chamber of Commerce to sell herbs was Ye Jin. He had already guessed that it was Ye Jin.

At that moment, in front of Qi Yusheng and Lin Xun, Xiao Yi's blood ran cold, but...

He must protect Ye Jin.

Otherwise, Ye Jin would be finished if he fell into the hands of the Procuratorate!

So in just a few moments, Xiao Yi had already made a plan...

"Although I was not directly involved in this matter, my negligence caused a huge disaster. I will definitely find out the identity of the person behind this, cut him into pieces, and personally apologize to His Majesty."

After listening to Xiao Yi's explanation, everyone instantly understood that it was Xiao Yi who failed to control his subordinates and was accidentally involved in the incident of replacing military herbs that shocked the border.

It seems that the Marquis' Mansion is not over yet...

"Yes, the Marquis has always been cautious and would never do such a shameless thing. Please forgive him for his meritorious service in defending the city."

The ministers who were on good terms with Marquis Yong'an all pleaded for him.

The current emperor is benevolent and is rewarding people based on merit. Even if Lin Xun wants to avenge the heroic souls who died at the hands of his own people on the border, he cannot really kill Xiao Yi in public.

Xiao Yi knew that he did not do this, and Lin Xun and the people from the Inspection Office probably had no evidence, so he was fearless.

Xiao Xuetang looked at Xiao Yi with a hint of ridicule in her eyes...

In his previous life, Xiao Xuetang was very naive at first. He always thought that Xie was partial to Ye Jin and gave all those beautiful clothes and jewelry to Ye Jin. However, his father was kind to him and did not protect Ye Jin unconditionally like others. At least he treated his two daughters equally.

It was not until the crown prince was deposed and Lin Shaoshu's situation in the court was stabilized that Xiao Yi and his confidants discussed deposing her and letting Ye Jin enter Lin Shaoshu's palace. Only then did Xiao Xuetang realize that she was completely wrong.

In fact, the person who truly favors Ye Jin unconditionally and plans for Ye Jin step by step is Xiao Yi!

In the past, Xiao Xuetang was puzzled as to why Xiao Yi favored an adopted daughter so much, even more than his own wife and children. Until today, when Madam Nan appeared at the family recognition banquet, Xiao Xuetang seemed to understand something...

Now, Xiao Yi organized a family reunion banquet. It seemed that he was indifferent to Ye Jin, but in fact he was protecting Ye Jin.

After all, outsiders don’t know how much Xiao Yi dotes on Ye Jin. Even Lin Xun and the Inspection Office would not suspect Ye Jin of such a shocking conspiracy.

No matter what Xiao Xuetang thought, Ye Jin heaved a sigh of relief...

Xiao Yi still protected her in the end!

But the next moment, Xiao Xuetang suddenly came out, knelt in front of Lin Xun and said, "My Lord, my father must have been wronged. Please let my father go!"

"My father has always been honest. When he came back from Jingzhou, he only had a few pieces of luggage with him. How could he have colluded with officials and businessmen for corruption? He must have been framed by someone close to him."

Oh, it’s true that Xiao Yi’s gifts were only a few items, but Ye Jin’s things were pulled by several carriages, all of which were gold and silver. It was so high-profile that it was hard not to be remembered...

But Xiao Xuetang knelt before Lin Xun, her peach blossom eyes wet with tears, her expression sad, and she looked like she was begging for mercy for her father, weak and helpless...

Lin Xun looked at her indifferently, twirled his thumb lightly, lowered his eyes to look at the beautiful woman who was crying with tears in her eyes, his expression not moved at all.

Lin Shaoshu was anxious and tried to help Xiao Xuetang up: "Tangtang, we know that the Marquis is honest, and the Marquis is also trying his best to investigate the missing military pay for the embezzled herbs at the border. This matter must have nothing to do with him. The wise uncle will definitely make a fair judgment and will not embarrass the Marquis."

Yes, this time the officials involved in passing off inferior herbs as good ones were hacked to death, but the silver and military pay disappeared without a trace.

next moment……

Although Xiao Xuetang hated Lin Shaoshu, she knew that she had to put on a good show, so she followed Lin Shaoshu's hand and stood up, only to hear a sneer.

It’s Lin Xun.

When Xiao Xuetang accidentally met those deep eyes, he felt indescribably guilty.

At this time, Tianshu, a close confidant of Lin Xun, said in a cold voice: "My Lord, when you returned to the city, you were escorted back to the city by dozens of carriages loaded with gifts and hundreds of guards. Half of the people in Kyoto knew that you returned home in glory and were reinstated. That scene was more impressive than that of my Lord."

"Now you keep saying that you are honest, do you believe it yourself?"

"Or do you want to say that your carriages are loaded with stones and mud from Jingzhou? You have been in Jingzhou for so many years, and it is hard to leave your hometown, so you want to see more carts of soil to remind you of your hometown."

What a sight that reminds me of something. If it weren't for the character she was playing at the moment not allowing it, Xiao Xuetang would have almost laughed out loud...

She looked towards Tianshu with her beautiful eyes, the word "confidant" clearly written on them!

Xiao Yi didn't expect that the matter should have been resolved by his trickery, but he didn't expect that Xiao Xuetang and Tianshu would sing the same tune and actually involve his integrity issue.

Xiao Yi's face turned pale, and before he could explain, Xiao Xuetang beside him hurriedly spoke timidly: "Your Highness, my father is even more wronged in this matter. Those things all belong to Sister Jin!"

As Xiao Xuetang finished speaking, everyone noticed Ye Jin who had been briefly forgotten...

Ye Jin's face was already extremely ugly, but Xiao Xuetang's lips were still pouting, but every word he said was sending Ye Jin to hell.

"I heard from my mother that Sister Jin was an orphan, but she was self-reliant and earned a fortune through her own hard work in Jingzhou over the past three years."

"This time when she came to the Marquis' Mansion, Sister Jin was also of high character. She refused to take advantage of us. She lived in the Marquis' Mansion but still gave everyone in our Mansion many gifts. She also helped mother with the household. That's why father said that she is not a biological daughter but is better than a biological daughter. She is registered under mother's name. From now on, we are a family."

Xiao Xuetang held Ye Jin's hand with a look of deep sisterly love, just like when Ye Jin returned home that day...

But now, the smile appeared on Xiao Xuetang's face!
