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

"Girl, this move of yours is really too risky. Even if you like the Third Prince, you still have to prioritize..."

In the simple south wing, Qiao Niang complained to Ye Jin who had lost his power.

Ye Jin's luggage had been thrown out of Zhuijinxuan by the Second Lady's people impatiently, only because Xiao Xuetang had promised that once Zhuijinxuan was empty, Xiao Yunni would move in.

Ye Jin now lives in the south wing.

Not only is that place not as good as Zhuijinxuan, it's even not as good as the west wing where Ye Jin lived before. This was all arranged by the Second Madam.

Who caused Ye Jin to cause such a big disaster in the ancestral hall today? The old lady was so angry that she became sick, and Xie Shi did not dare to protect her...

Therefore, Ye Jin, Qiao Niang and their servants were driven directly to the south wing and beaten back to their original state. They were so glorious a few days ago, but now, they are so miserable!

Ye Jin's dress today was exposed to the sun and was completely burned, and her hair was also singed by the fire. The maid gave her a piece of coarse cloth to change into, and her face was still stained with the slap marks from the Wang sisters.

The bronze mirror placed in the room reflected her appearance. She no longer looked so unattainable as when she first entered the mansion. It was as if... she had been reduced to her original form.

Ye Jin was in a very bad mood. Seeing Qiao Niang still complaining, he swept the bronze mirror on the dressing table to the ground, and said with a ferocious look, "Shut up!"

Qiao Niang had never seen Ye Jin so angry. Meeting Ye Jin's cold and snake-like gaze, she couldn't help but shudder and instinctively shut up.

Ye Jin sneered and said, "It is for the sake of the overall situation that I have lost my identity as a daughter of the Xiao family. I should win the heart of Lin Shaoshu..."

Qiao Niang looked at Ye Jin with some fear, and finally couldn't help asking: "But I still don't quite understand, even if you want to deal with Xiao Xuetang, why do you want to involve the Regent?"

That person is the one that even Prime Minister Wang is afraid of!

Besides, the matter of the military herbs has not been sorted out yet, and Ye Jin is not afraid of playing with fire and getting burned...

At this time, Ye Jin also knew that provoking the Regent was a bad idea, but...

"But if I don't do this, how can I regain the trust..."

Qiao Niang didn't understand what this had to do with Queen Wang, but Ye Jin didn't explain much, just quietly ordered: "Prepare the carriage, I must see the Queen tomorrow!"

As soon as Ye Jin finished speaking, someone from Xiao Yi's side came to pass on the message: "Miss Jin, the Marquis asked you to go to the palace tomorrow, and you must sever your ties with the Third Prince. You must not let the Queen mistakenly think that our Marquis' Mansion has long been on the Third Prince's side!"

At this time, dusk was approaching, candlelight was dim, and most of the mansion was brightly lit.

It is destined to be a sleepless night...

……

In her previous life, Ye Jin once said that the reason she tried every means to stay in the Marquis' Mansion was because in the future, Lin Shaoshu's queen would be from the Xiao family.

Ye Jin tried to please Xie and Xiao Yi in order to replace her and become the daughter of the Xiao family, Empress Xiao.

In this life, the family recognition banquet was brought forward, and Xiao Xuetang rejected the idea of ​​Ye Jin becoming the legitimate daughter of the Xiao family, so... Ye Jin changed her strategy.

She decided to take down Lin Shaoshu directly and replace her in Lin Shaoshu's heart.

However, in order to avoid exposing the fact of her rebirth, Xiao Xuetang concealed Ye Jin's desire to become the queen, and only said that Ye Jin fell in love with Lin Shaoshu.

"Is Ye Jin crazy?"

Bi Hen now understood and exclaimed in disbelief.

"But now the whole capital knows that Miss Jin is the Queen's savior. Miss Jin first made friends with Queen Wang, and then tried to please the Third Prince. Isn't this a slap in the Queen's face? Can the Queen forgive her?"

Xiao Xuetang smiled and said, "Don't underestimate Ye Jin's ability to get along with everyone..."

Now even Qi Yue looked at Xiao Xuetang in confusion: "Miss, today you exposed the affair between Ye Jin and the Third Prince in public. The two concubines of the Wang family slapped Ye Jin in public. Even if Ye Jin has extraordinary abilities, can he still turn the tables in front of the Queen and the Wang family?"

Xiao Xuetang deliberately kept the two of them in suspense and said, "Why don't we make a bet? I bet a handful of golden melon seeds that Ye Jin will go to the palace to see the queen tomorrow at the latest, and will receive a generous reward and return home..."

Qiyue and Bihen shook their heads decisively.

"I have no money!"

They like to watch the excitement, but asking them to take the money is absolutely impossible.

Seeing that he failed to trick them, Xiao Xuetang sighed in disappointment and said, "Forget it, ask Uncle Wu to come over. I have something that I need him to investigate in person."

It’s the mysterious Mrs. Nan!

But what Xiao Xuetang didn't expect was that Uncle Wu had unexpectedly lost contact.

"Why, Uncle Wu hasn't been found yet?"

Xiao Xuetang held down her twitching eyelids, having a bad feeling in her heart.

Uncle Wu is always calm and steady. He always tells us where he is going and he would never disappear for no reason.

Did something happen to Uncle Wu?

Seeing Xiao Xuetang's worried look, Qiyue said, "Miss, Uncle Wu is good at martial arts, he will be fine. He must have been delayed by something so he didn't come back so late. Don't worry too much."

How could Xiao Xuetang not be worried!

Uncle Wu has been secretly working on the Northwest Herbal Medicine matter these past few days. This matter has wide-ranging implications, and Uncle Wu's life will be in danger no matter who gets into its hands.

"Send more people. If all else fails, ask Uncle Lin and the others for help. We must find Uncle Wu."

Xiao Xuetang gave the order, worry evident in her eyes.

To her, Uncle Wu was not just a driver, but more like a half-elder.

At this moment, she even felt a little regretful for letting Uncle Wu do those dangerous things and get involved in this storm.

Xiao Xuetang was thinking in a distracted manner. At this time, Bihen handed over a sandalwood box and said, "Miss, this is something the Regent King gave you. Do you want to open it and take a look?"

Xiao Xuetang said: "This thing must be a thank-you gift prepared by the old princess. The regent is just delivering it on her behalf, and this gift must be returned eventually."

"This gift has to be returned eventually, so why accept it?"

But Bihen and Qiyue couldn't resist their curiosity and opened it, only to see a crabapple flower hairpin carved from red chalcedony!

"What an exquisite hairpin."

Bihen and Qiyue had seen a lot of good things following Xiao Xuetang, but they were also amazed at this time.

This red chalcedony is rare in itself, not to mention the shape of the crabapple carved into it, which is so lifelike and exquisite that it is no exaggeration to say that it is beyond words.

Bihen and Qiyue couldn't help but sigh: "The old princess is so kind to the young lady."

Xiao Xuetang stared at the red chalcedony hairpin for a while. For some reason, she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity...

……

The lights in the tent flickered, floating up and down, and the red chalcedony beads thrown on the pillow were hung on someone's ankle at some point...

She subconsciously tried to kick it away, but a bony hand grabbed her ankle, and the room was filled with a beautiful scene again.
