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

"That's it……"

"Everyone in the ancestral hall left, but Miss Jin stayed with the Third Prince. The two talked for a long time. Miss Jin only asked Qiao Niang to watch outside, thinking that no one could hear them. But who knew that Xiao Cui happened to be cleaning the ancestral hall and heard their conversation clearly."

"This Ye Jin is really abominable. It's fine if he has an affair with the Third Prince, but he actually falsely accuses you of having an affair with the Regent. God knows you've only met the Regent from a distance twice..."

Bi Hen said this indignantly. If Ye Jin was in front of her at this moment, Bi Hen would probably want to tear her to pieces.

After the power was divided from the old lady last time, the Marquis' Mansion was in chaos.

While Xie, Ye Jin and the Second Madam were randomly grabbing things everywhere and smearing them, Xiao Xuetang had already quietly placed people in various places.

After all, she has now stopped subsidizing the Marquis' Mansion and has taken back all the things from the old lady, so she will not be short of money.

If you have money, are you still afraid of not having people to serve you?

She learned all the tricks that Ye Jin used to win people's hearts in her previous life, and she had been hiding her incompetence during these years in the Marquis' Mansion. However, she was smart and had a photographic memory. She could remember the names and personalities of even the lowest servants in the Marquis' Mansion.

It's just the right time to win people's hearts and minds.

Xiao Cui, who was cleaning the ancestral hall, was one of them.

Last time, Xiao Xuetang was punished to copy the family rules in the ancestral hall, and he rescued Xiao Cui who was bullied by the head maid and had her monthly allowance taken away.

That was the money Xiao Cui used to buy medicine to save her elderly grandmother's life...

Xiao Xuetang came to her rescue. Not only did she help Xiao Cui get her monthly allowance back, she also gave her enough money to cure her elderly grandmother, which was enough to make Xiao Cui fall in love with her forever.

I thought it would take a long time for Xiao Cui to be useful, but I didn't expect that within just a few days, she would give me such a big surprise...

Qiyue was also very angry. Ye Jin had such evil intentions that he actually slandered her young lady's reputation like this!

It would be fine if he framed someone else, but why did he have to frame the Regent... He is a well-known living devil in Kyoto and he doesn't like women.

It is said that in the past, any woman who wanted to have sex with the Regent would have grass three feet high on her grave. There were also rumors that it was the Regent who did it, while others said it was because the Regent was unlucky and was unlucky in marriage.

In short, there are all kinds of rumors in Kyoto about Lin Xun always wearing a mask and not being interested in women. It is difficult to tell whether they are true or false, but Qiyue knows that once these rumors reach the ears of the Regent, her lady... is finished!

"What a good trick, killing someone with a borrowed knife, without bloodshed."

Xiao Xuetang applauded Ye Jin's meticulous thinking.

Ye Jin is indeed capable of great things. Today, she lost face in front of so many nobles in Kyoto and lost her status as the legitimate daughter of a marquis, but she managed to get back on her feet so quickly.

If it wasn't for the coincidence today, when she met Lin Xun in the rockery and saved him, she probably wouldn't even know how she died!

Why did Lin Xun appear in the rockery today? He couldn't be waiting for her...

"It must be to keep an eye on Prime Minister Wang!"

Xiao Xuetang thought of the conspiracy between Prime Minister Wang and Xiao Yi, and instantly regarded the encounter with Lin Xun on the rockery as a coincidence.

Qiyue, who was standing by, saw Xiao Xuetang's expression changing again and again, and thought she was just worried about Lin Shaoshu...

Just now in the ancestral hall, she clearly saw her young lady's eyes were red.

Yes, it’s more than ten years of relationship, not just more than ten days.

Moreover, Qi Yue is a few years older than Bi Hen. She has witnessed the childhood sweethearts of Xiao Xuetang and Lin Shaoshu with her own eyes. She has also seen the Xie family being implicated and Concubine Xie passing away. The two of them snuggled up to each other for warmth in this cold imperial city.

Even though Lin Shaoshu fell in love with Ye Jin, his protection and concern for Xiao Xuetang today did not seem fake. Qiyue still hoped that they could part ways in peace.

Even if the two of them didn't end up together, they absolutely couldn't let Lin Shaoshu misunderstand their young lady like this!

"The Third Prince and you are childhood sweethearts. He knows that you are a dignified and polite person. It is impossible for you to do such a shameless thing in an engagement. Do you want to explain this matter to him?"

Hearing this, Xiao Xuetang frowned and looked at Qiyue. Qiyue's heart trembled, and she subconsciously said: "Miss, what did I say wrong?"

Hearing this, Xiao Xuetang came back to his senses and shook his head gently, "No."

She hid her hatred for Lin Shaoshu so deeply that even Qi Yue didn't notice it. But Lin Xun, who had only met her a few times, knew her thoughts very well.

This man is so terrible!

But when it comes to Lin Shaoshu...

"There is no trust between Lin Shaoshu and I anymore."

Just like in the previous life, Lin Shaoshu knew that they encountered bandits on the way, and he was certain that she had lost her virginity.

He abandoned her on their wedding night to hang out with Ye Jin, and had always been cold and mean to her, and in the end, in order to get revenge... he even sent her to a strange man's bed and let him humiliate her!

In this life, it was the rumors about Lin Xun that were framed by Ye Jin.

As Qiyue said, she and Lin Shaoshu have depended on each other for many years, so they may have some affection for each other.

In this life, Lin Shaoshu has not yet fallen deeply in love with Ye Jin, and she still has a chance to redeem herself. Taking Lin Shaoshu away is the best way to retaliate against Ye Jin.

but……

Xiao Xuetang didn't want to do this!

After what happened in her previous life, she couldn't have no grudges towards Lin Shaoshu.

Moreover, she had had enough of the days in her previous life where she was imprisoned in the deep palace, where every step was calculated and she had to walk on thin ice!

Seeing that Xiao Xuetang was determined to draw a line between herself and Lin Shaoshu, Qiyue stopped trying to persuade her and just asked Xiao Xuetang: "Miss, Miss Jin's actions are really confusing..."

"She failed at the family recognition banquet today. According to her personality, she should have tried every possible means to please the Marquis and consolidate her position in the Marquis' Mansion."

Although Qiyue is a maid, she is thoughtful and intelligent. After these days of confrontation, she has also understood Ye Jin's character a little bit...

"And today, the Marquis kept Prime Minister Wang in the study and didn't pay much attention to the Third Prince, which shows that the Marquis still wants to rely on the Wang family. According to Miss Jin's personality, she should follow the Marquis's wishes and go to the palace to please the Queen. Why did she keep the Third Prince instead?"

After Qi Yue finished speaking, she saw Xiao Xuetang looking at her silently. She looked a little uneasy and asked, "Miss, did I say something wrong?"

Xiao Xuetang was very approving and said, "No, Qiyue, you are very smart. It is a waste of your talent to be a maid."

Qiyue smiled a little embarrassedly...

Xiao Xuetang looked out the window at this time and said, "I now roughly know what Ye Jin is planning..."

Bi Hen, who was listening to the conversation between the two, was confused and anxious for a while. Finally, he found an opportunity to interrupt and said, "Miss, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand?"

Xiao Xuetang smiled, and after a moment, she said, "In short, Ye Jin probably doesn't want to be Xiao's daughter anymore, but... Lin's wife!"
