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

In a Buddhist temple, in a secluded meditation room.

The Zen door was half-closed, the curtains were lightly hanging, and the man with his back to her...

He actually appeared in front of her alive? !

It was clearly summer evening, and in the busy alley, Xiao Xuetang shivered suddenly.

When I looked up again, I saw only dusk smoke from cooking fires and the bustling streets, but I could no longer see the man in white...

Could it be that I saw a ghost in broad daylight?

"Miss, it's getting late, let's go back quickly."

Xiao Xuetang touched the goose bumps on his arm, responded, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly saw a flash of light on the bluestone bricks...

It's a string of carnelian beads!

Xiao Xuetang, who had just managed to calm down, was now completely numb...

Before she came to her senses, she had already picked up the beads.

Qiyue didn't notice Xiao Xuetang's abnormality, but just urged Xiao Xuetang to return home quickly.

It was getting late, and Uncle Wu did not go out with them today. Qiyue was very worried about Xiao Xuetang's safety.

Watching the master and servant leave, in the teahouse, Lin Shaoshu looked at the man in white and asked, "What do you want to do? If you dare to harm her, I will not let you go!"

The man sitting in front of Lin Shaoshu was dressed in white and looked cool and handsome, with a golden and jade-like appearance. When he lowered his narrow and long phoenix eyes, there was a sense of compassion...

But Lin Shaoshu looked at the man in front of him with full vigilance.

The man raised his lips slightly and said, "Don't worry, since I have reached a cooperation with the Third Prince, she is the one that the Third Prince holds in his heart, so naturally I will not do anything to her..."

Seeing that Lin Shaoshu was still looking at him with suspicion, the man paused and said, "I am just a little curious about the future mistress. Besides, I have already given the Third Prince a gift of surrender and sincerity. Does the Third Prince still doubt it?"

Just when Lin Shaoshu was about to say something, Mr. Wen came over excitedly and said, "Your Highness, great news..."

"The Crown Prince was stabbed and injured on his way back to the palace. The news has reached the palace. The Queen is now making a scene in the Imperial Study. She will definitely ask His Majesty to summon the Regent to the palace to question him."

Hearing this, Lin Shaoshu really dispelled his doubts. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Let's go, enter the palace now!"

The Eastern Palace must be in chaos now, and Lin Xun has already been at odds with the Wang family. However, because Lin Xun has been at the border all these years, mainly responsible for leading troops to fight, he and Prime Minister Wang, one civil and one military, have kept to themselves, and the forces of both sides maintain a delicate balance.

but……

The prince is now seriously injured, and before he was injured he had offended Lin Xun in public. If the assassin who stabbed the prince cannot be found, Lin Xun will have no way to defend himself.

As long as he stirs up a fight between the Wang family and Lin Xun, he can be the one who benefits from the conflict between the two!

Thinking of this, Lin Shaoshu swept away his previous frustration, and his usually gentle and peaceful eyebrows flashed with the light of ambition...

"Still the same as before, stupid and conceited..."

The man's lips curled up into a faint cold smile. When he was going downstairs just now, his eyes met with a girl in purple.

It’s Mu Yan!

……

Mu Yan originally followed Lin Xun and Qi Yusheng to the restaurant. She wanted to see what the girl who could make Lin Xun fall in love looked like!

But the driver of Prince Mu's Mansion had asked for leave today, so it was her nemesis brother Mu Xiao who drove the carriage, and took her directly from the west to the east of the city. When she finally found Tianxiang Tower, it was already evening...

I didn't see Lin Xun and Qi Yusheng, nor did I see the legendary beauty Xiao Xuetang, but I saw someone who absolutely could not appear in Kyoto!

She opened her eyes wide in shock, and it seemed as if she was thinking of something. The color on her face faded away in an instant, and she said in a trembling voice: "Big..."

The man standing by the window upstairs looked at her calmly, and when she was about to scream, he gestured to her to keep quiet.

"Sister, why are you so pale? Did you see a ghost?"

Mu Xiao fastened the carriage and walked to Mu Yan's side, complaining, "I'm starving after traveling for half a day. Let's go to the teahouse for some snacks."

As he spoke, he walked towards the teahouse. Mu Yan reacted very quickly and stopped Mu Xiao and said, "Why are you having tea so late at night? You've only been in Kyoto for a few days and you've already learned these people's habit of pretending to be cultured! Come on, sister will treat you to a big pork elbow at the restaurant!"

Having said that, regardless of Mu Xiao's struggle, he grabbed Mu Xiao's collar and took him to a restaurant nearby.

……

When Xiao Xuetang returned to the Marquis' Mansion, it was already dusk. Ye Jin had already returned from the palace, but he locked himself in the south wing and did not go out.

However, the second wife brought Xiao Ruoruo and a group of people to visit Litangju.

As soon as they came in, their eyes were attracted by the exquisite and delicate ornaments in the room, and a gleam of light flashed in their eyes...

They all heard about Xiao Xuetang taking back the clothes and jewelry from the old lady.

Over the years, the Xie couple has sent a lot of good things to Kyoto from Jingzhou, not to mention how much the Xie family and the people in the palace doted on Xiao Xuetang when Concubine Xie was alive.

Those treasures entered the old lady's yard, and others did not dare to take those treasures, but now they are in Xiao Xuetang's hands. She is a young girl with a thin skin, what does she need so many treasures for?

The people in the Marquis' Mansion are the smartest of the smart. They would like to tear off a few pounds of flesh even from a fly, not to mention that Xiao Xuetang had made such a big fuss today. They all rushed over after hearing the news, wishing they could divide up those treasures immediately!

Xiao Xuetang sat there, taking in the greedy looks of these people, but she remained calm and asked, "Second Aunt, how did you and your sisters find time to come here?"

As they were talking, Qiyue brought up the tea.

The tea set was made of top-quality white porcelain, a complete set of snow-colored ones. Even the Second Lady's courtyard couldn't find such a good set. The tea brewed in it was ordinary Biluochun, but because of the contrast with the tea set, it was actually quite interesting.

A trace of calculation flashed in the second wife's eyes...

The Second Madam looked at Xiao Xuetang's exquisite ornaments for a few times, and then said, "Tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the lunar month. Mother said that our family will go to the Huguo Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings, and asked us to be prepared."

Hearing the words "Huguo Temple", Xiao Xuetang was startled...

Why is it Huguo Temple again?

For a moment, Xiao Xuetang thought about the red chalcedony bracelet she picked up, and suddenly felt a little uneasy.

There is a trap waiting for her ahead!

Just as he was distracted, he suddenly heard Xiao Ruoruo raise her voice with a hint of displeasure in her tone: "Second Aunt is talking to you, why don't you pay attention to her? You are too ignorant of etiquette in front of your elders!"

Xiao Ruoruo's familiar hypocritical and sarcastic tone instantly brought Xiao Xuetang back to his senses.

Looking at Xiao Ruoruo who was full of evil intentions, Xiao Xuetang sneered...
