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

Five years ago, Marquis Yong'an was so reckless that he did not take Lin Xun, who was just a young man at the time, seriously. So when Emperor Yonghui wanted to appoint Lin Xun as regent, Marquis Yong'an joined forces with those reckless aristocratic families to oppose it.

The result was that those noble families who had opposed Lin Xun at the time lost their heads or were exiled, and very few of them, like Marquis Yong'an, retained their titles and returned to the capital.

During these five years, Lin Xun had become notorious, and many people even secretly speculated that the death of the late emperor was related to Lin Xun. People in the court and the public hated and feared the regent.

This time, when suppressing the Cangjing Rebellion, Lin Xun saw with his own eyes how the regent led the troops and killed people without blinking an eye...

Buddha-faced Shura, cruel and ruthless.

Now, when Xiao Yi heard Lin Xun's name, he subconsciously felt a chill on his neck, and he wished he could regard the Regent's orders as the golden rule.

Then he looked at the groom kneeling on the ground, his face suddenly changed, and he said, "You damned slave, how dare you slander your master? Fortunately, the old princess wisely exposed your trick. Someone, drag him away and torture him severely to find out who is trying to frame our mansion."

Liu Da knew the methods of interrogation used by Yong'an Hou, and he was immediately panicked and looked at Ye Jin for help: "Miss Jin, you...you save me."

Ye Jin's expression changed slightly. This guy is more likely to cause trouble than to help!

Liu Da's words immediately drew everyone's attention to Ye Jin.

Xiao Xuetang smiled and said, "This is the first time I've met this sister Jin today, but this Liu Da seems to be very familiar with you. He even called out your name when he first saw you."

After hearing Xiao Xuetang's words, everyone realized that something was wrong.

Under the scrutiny of everyone, Ye Jin cursed Liu Da in his heart for being such a fool, but said calmly, "Liu Da is really vicious. Not only does he want to frame my sister, he even won't let any of the girls in our mansion go. Father must not let him go. We must find out who is the mastermind behind him!"

"This Liu Da is really stupid. Just for a little money, he even didn't care about the lives of his family. If something happens to him, how will this family survive? It turns out that what the gentleman said is right. People in the world are always blinded by small profits."

She spoke with a look of regret, the early summer sun shining on her porcelain-like face, as if it had a compassionate and holy light.

But Liu Da shuddered...

"Don't ask me, my Lord. I admit it!"

Liu Da broke free from the guards, knelt down in front of the Yong'an Marquis with a thud and said, "I was confused for a moment and lost money. I shouldn't have been bribed to frame the young lady. Please forgive my family for my years of hard work for the Marquis's mansion. I am willing to die to apologize for my crime!"

With a bang, he hit the pillar and died amidst the screams of the crowd.

The flower hall was in chaos in an instant, and the timid ones almost fainted when they saw the blood on the ground. In the panic, Ye Jin's mouth curled up slightly and he casually wiped the blood splashed on the back of his hand.

Yong'an Hou didn't expect such a big thing to happen on the first day after returning. His expression changed again and again for a while, and he said after a while: "Drag this Liu Da away. This is related to the reputation of the women of the Xiao family, so it is not appropriate to publicize it."

When he said this, he was looking at Nanny Song beside Xiao Xuetang.

Although Marquis Yong'an didn't know when Xiao Xuetang had become involved with the palace, he was very wary... he could even be said to be afraid of the Regent. He was somewhat worried that if today's events were to reach the Regent's ears, it would have an impact on him.

If Xiao Xuetang knew what Yong'an Hou was thinking at this moment, she would definitely burst out laughing...

The Regent is busy with all kinds of affairs, how could he possibly care about such trivial matters? The Marquis of Yong'an must have been frightened by what happened five years ago.

Nanny Song had an indifferent expression on her face. She just said, "This is the Marquis's family affair. I am only following the orders of the old princess to send Miss Xiao back home."

Yong'an Hou...

He felt that Nanny Song was using the old princess to criticize him, so he looked at Xiao Xuetang and said, "You have been wronged today, and your father will make it up to you."

It was the first day that Yong'an Marquis came back. Xiao Xuetang didn't want to offend him, so she said, "Father, you are too kind. There is no such thing as grievance in a family. It's good enough that my daughter can be cleared of all charges."

Upon hearing this, Marquis Yong'an felt warm in his heart, and felt that this child was more sensible than he was five years ago.

"only……"

Xiao Xuetang changed the subject, looking at Ye Jin and his servant with hesitation, "Now that someone has set his sights on our Xiao family, father is an upright person, so there is no need to worry. What we are afraid of is that someone will stir up trouble in the backyard, especially since father brought a lot of servants and maids back from Jingzhou this time. These people don't know the rules and may become another Liu Da."

Yong'an Hou's heart trembled, and he also followed Xiao Xuetang's gaze and looked at Qiao Niang behind Ye Jin. He immediately frowned and said, "Oh, right, it was you who didn't know the rules and bumped into the young lady just now. Come, drag her away and give her ten strokes of the cane as a warning to others!"

Qiao Niang wanted to beg for mercy, but Marquis Yong'an was very angry at the time, and even Ye Jin did not dare to plead for her. He could only watch as Marquis Yong'an ordered his men to drag Qiao Niang away.

Her cold gaze fell on Xiao Xuetang. She made a note of this!

Xiao Xuetang's lips curled slightly...

Although I can't deal with Ye Jin today, breaking one of her arms is also a good gain.

Everyone left the hall with their own thoughts. At this moment, a gentle voice came from behind Xiao Xuetang: "Xuetang..."

If you listen carefully, you can hear a hint of anxiety in that voice.

When she turned around, she saw Xie standing behind her, looking at her with an hesitant look as if she wanted to say something.

Xie was already a mother of two children, but she was still beautiful and charming. Xiao Xuetang's appearance was mostly like hers.

After all, all the members of the Xie family, both men and women, are beautiful, and they are famous for this in Kyoto.

"Mother."

Xiao Xuetang called her lightly.

To be honest, she used to have a good relationship with Xie's mother and daughter. Even though Xie became estranged from her due to Ye Jin's instigation, there were still warm memories between the mother and daughter.

But whenever she thought about her previous life, when she lost consciousness after drinking Xie's sweet soup, no matter how much Xie was involved in that matter, Xiao Xuetang could not get close to her.

Xie saw the coldness and alienation in Xiao Xuetang's eyes, her eyes turned red, and she said, "Tangtang, are you blaming mother?"

This child had always been weak and sickly, and was the one that Xie loved and cared about the most. Otherwise, she would not have adopted Ye Jin, who was of the same age as her, as her adopted daughter when she was in Jingzhou.

Can……

Xiao Xuetang smiled and said considerately, "I understand your mother's difficulties. You and your grandmother have always been at odds with each other, so it is naturally inconvenient for you to speak up when you just returned to the Xie family."

But Xie looked at Xiao Xuetang's smile and felt uneasy for no reason. She said, "No, I meant five years ago..."

"Five years ago, my mother left you behind. She had no choice."

Five years ago...

Xiao Xuetang's eyelashes trembled slightly, and a ripple flashed across his calm eyes.
