After the eldest daughter was reborn, the whole family knelt down and begged for forgiveness
Chapter 6: You can offend the King of Hell but not the Regent
Who else could it be other than Madam Xiao who has heard the voice before seeing the person?
She is obviously an old lady from a noble family, but her words and actions are even worse than those of the evil woman from a small family.
Hearing the familiar dry howl, Marquis Yong'an also felt a headache, but filial piety came first, and he quickly stood up and stepped forward to support Old Madam Xiao who had heard the news.
Old Madam Xiao was leaning on a cane. When she passed by Xiao Xuetang, she glared at him fiercely: "Damn you, you evil creature. You were kidnapped by bandits. Why didn't you just die? Why did you come back to implicate your sisters?"
Xiao Xuetang looked at Old Madam Xiao expressionlessly.
Old Madam Xiao hated her daughter-in-law Xie deeply. Since Xie went to Jingzhou in recent years, Old Madam Xiao took out all her hatred for Xie on her. Xiao Xuetang has become accustomed to Old Madam Xiao's abuse.
Yong'an Hou felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this. He was about to defend Xiao Xuetang when Ye Jin suddenly grabbed his sleeve...
Ye Jin bit her lip and said to Yong'an Hou innocently, "Father, I didn't mean to question my sister just now. It's just...it's just that Jin'er thinks that the driver looks like an honest and loyal person. Could there be some misunderstanding?"
"Father, this is your first time back in Kyoto, so please be careful about everything."
Yong'an Hou used to be impulsive and easily provoked, so he was almost stripped of his title and exiled to Jingzhou with his family. Five years later, Yong'an Hou has made a lot of progress...
He only listens to Ye Jin's instigation now!
Originally, Yong'an Hou was going to have Liu Da taken away for interrogation, but after hearing what Ye Jin said, his eyes darkened and he asked Xiao Xuetang cautiously, "Since you said that you stayed at Huguo Temple yesterday and a nobleman sent you back, where is the nobleman now? Can he testify for you?"
Before he finished speaking, he heard a sneer, "In the huge Yong'an Marquis's Mansion, a mere groom could casually attack the eldest daughter. That's fine! But the dignified Yong'an Marquis actually let the servant who deserved to be killed go unpunished and interrogated his own daughter. This is truly the most novel thing in the world. This old servant has seen it."
It turned out that Nanny Song couldn't stand it anymore, so she stepped forward to protect Xiao Xuetang without waiting for her to ask.
Nanny Song was always strict and outspoken. Her words made the dignified Marquis Yong'an blush and he kept asking, "That's not what I meant?"
Ye Jin was not aware of Nanny Song's identity and thought she was someone who served Xiao Xuetang. She said to Xie, "Mother, didn't you say that our family is the most rule-abiding? But how dare someone around my sister be so rude to father?"
After all, Xie had been in Kyoto for many years. She saw that Nanny Song looked unfamiliar and was not someone close to Xiao Xuetang. Moreover, her demeanor and majesty were not what an ordinary person would serve. She was unsure for a moment.
Ye Jin had only spoken in a low voice, but Nanny Song was a very observant and attentive person, so she immediately frowned and said, "Speaking of rules, young lady, who are you? How dare a young lady repeatedly plead for a groom?"
Ye Jin was unexpectedly heard by Nanny Song, and his face immediately turned red.
The Second Madam hated the groom so much that he dared to ruin her daughter's reputation. She also hated Ye Jin and said, "What kind of identity can she have? She is just an orphan living in the Marquis' Mansion with an unknown origin. She climbed up the high branch of the Marquis' Mansion and called him father and mother. She really thought she could become the Marquis's legitimate daughter!"
The Second Madam is one of the few people in the Marquis' Mansion who dislikes Ye Jin.
It was because she had always doted on her daughter. Originally, there was Xiao Xuetang in the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion who took the title of the eldest daughter and overshadowed her daughter. But then there came Ye Jin who even wanted to register her under the name of Xie and take the title of the eldest daughter. Who the hell did she think she was!
The Second Madam wanted to add a few more words, but was glared back by the Old Madam. Old Madam Xiao looked at Nanny Song and said unhappily, "Jin'er belongs to my mansion, so I should teach her the rules. But who are you? How dare you act wildly in our mansion?"
Ye Jin had made all the necessary preparations before coming to Chang'an. He had a thorough understanding of the Marquis' Mansion and knew that Old Madam Xiao was greedy for money. So when he arrived at the Marquis' Mansion yesterday, he gave Old Madam Xiao a box of treasures and easily bribed her.
Now in Madam Xiao's eyes, Ye Jin is closer to her than her own granddaughter. As for Xiao Xuetang...
Old Madam Xiao looked at her granddaughter who had served her for several years, but she still felt uncomfortable. Xie had her son to protect her, so she couldn't do anything. Old Madam Xiao felt that she could control a little girl at will!
Not to mention that when she came here this morning, Old Madam Xiao heard Nanny Lai beside her exaggerating the rumors outside, and she felt that Xiao Xuetang's existence would damage the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion. She immediately regarded Xiao Xuetang as a thorn in her side and wanted to drive him out immediately.
Nanny Song was considered well-informed, but it was the first time she had seen a situation like that in the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion, where family members were fighting like black-eyed chickens.
The father didn't act like a father, the grandmother didn't have any mercy, and the mother was like a gourd with a sawed mouth, letting an unknown adopted daughter run around in circles...
This is nothing!
Nanny Song looked at Xiao Xuetang with a trace of pity. She took a deep breath for a while and then introduced herself: "This old servant is someone close to the old princess. Last night, the old princess and Miss Xiao hit it off immediately and talked about Buddhist scriptures in the Zen temple all night. Can this prove Miss Xiao's innocence?"
Before coming to the Marquis' Mansion, Xiao Xuetang told Nanny Song not to reveal the fact that she knew medical skills. Nanny Song didn't understand why at first, but now seeing the mess in the Marquis' Mansion, she finally understood Xiao Xuetang.
Madam Xiao was still cursing at this time, and didn't react for a moment, saying: "I don't care whether you are a princess or not..."
The people around her pulled her, and Madam Xiao finally reacted. She looked at Nanny Song and said hesitantly, "Which prince's mansion are you from?"
"Tianji Palace."
The originally noisy flower hall fell silent, and after a moment, only the sound of gasps could be heard...
During the reign of Emperor Wuzong, the title of Tianji Palace was revoked. Five years ago, the Tianji Palace was able to recover, and the only son Lin Xun was named the regent. Apart from the old people of Tianji Palace, only the people around the old princess still used the old title.
Madam Xiao was still okay, but at this moment, Marquis Yong'an's expression changed drastically, probably because he gasped too hard and made a strange sound in his throat.
The originally majestic Marquis Yong'an now looked like... a chicken with its throat strangled.
Xiao Xuetang looked at the strange expressions of the crowd with cold eyes. Knowing that Yong'an Hou was afraid of Lin Xun, she sneered in her heart. After a moment, she said to the stunned crowd: "Grandmother, if someone from the palace can testify for me, can it prove my innocence?"
Without waiting for Madam Xiao to answer, Yong'an Hou came back to his senses and said firmly: "Yes! Of course!"
Are you kidding? Everyone in Kyoto knows that they would rather offend the King of Hell than the Regent.
