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

After the people brought by the second wife separated the three people, all of them had injuries of varying degrees.

Especially when seeing the wounds on Xiao Ruoruo's face, the Second Madam said with a heart attack: "Look, this matter has caused so much trouble. How can I explain this to the old lady during the Buddha worship tomorrow?"

The old lady cares the most about her reputation. If the girl in the family goes to worship Buddha with injuries on her face tomorrow and the Marquis's Mansion becomes a joke, the old lady will be so angry that she will die.

At this moment, Xiao Yunni, who had been silent, said calmly, "Mother, what are you afraid of? This matter was initiated by the third sister after all. Don't let her go out tomorrow."

After hearing Xiao Yunni's sarcastic remarks, Xiao Ruoruo became even more furious. She started crying and shouting that she wanted to go to the old lady to make the decision.

"Xiao Xuetang, you are bullying me because of your numbers. I want my grandmother to take care of the matter for me!"

Xiao Ruoruo was about to rush out as she spoke. The Second Madam's heart skipped a beat. If Xiao Ruoruo ran out crying, who knows how much gossip would spread.

Sister Xiao Qi had wounds on her face, and when she heard Xiao Ruoruo's words, her original aggressiveness instantly disappeared, and her face turned pale...

They were originally living in the Marquis' Mansion. If this matter got out of hand, Xiao Ruoruo would be the old lady's granddaughter, and they would definitely be kicked out!

But before Xiao Ruoruo could run out of the door, she was stopped by Qiyue and Bihen. Xiao Ruoruo even threw a tantrum, "What are you doing? Are you trying to kill me to silence me?"

Xiao Xuetang raised his eyes slightly, glanced at her, and said, "Xiao Ruoruo, you should stop now."

Xiao Xuetang's appearance was originally more of a gorgeous type. She usually had a smile on her lips when she was quiet, and she looked quite gentle and kind. But suddenly her face darkened and her eyes became sharp. Xiao Ruoruo couldn't help but shudder, but still said stubbornly: "Xiao Xuetang, you rely on your status as the eldest daughter to bully your younger sister. I must tell the Third Prince what kind of vicious woman you are."

As long as Xiao Xuetang's reputation is ruined, then she will have the opportunity to replace the marriage arranged by the late emperor...

Ye Jin told her that when the late emperor arranged the marriage, he did not mention Xiao Xuetang by name, but only because Xiao Xuetang was the eldest daughter of the Xiao family that she got such a great advantage.

If Xiao Xuetang had a bad reputation, or... died, then she, Xiao Ruoruo, was no worse than Xiao Xuetang in terms of talent and beauty, and could also become the prince's consort!

Thinking of this, Xiao Ruoruo's eyes flashed with ambition. She unexpectedly met Xiao Xuetang's clear and bright gaze and subconsciously lowered her eyes.

Xiao Xuetang ignored Xiao Ruoruo's random biting and picked up the broken peony gold hairpin on the ground. He sneered and said, "Xiao Ruoruo, you brought people to make a scene in Litang Residence and maliciously trampled on the gold hairpin given by the late emperor. This is a crime of great disrespect. Have you thought about how to explain it to the old lady?"

The color on Xiao Ruoruo's face instantly faded, and she said, "This is not a gift from the Third Prince. How can it be a gift from the Emperor?"

Xiao Xuetang said calmly, "Back then, the late emperor ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make twelve golden hairpins, which were given to each prince for them to marry. The third prince got a peony golden hairpin, which he gave to me."

Lin Shaoshu and Xiao Xuetang were already engaged, and when Xiao Xuetang came of age, Lin Shaoshu gave her this hairpin.

That year, the Xie couple were far away in Jingzhou, and the old lady had always been harsh on Xiao Xuetang. It was difficult for her to afford food, clothing and other daily expenses, let alone hold a coming-of-age ceremony for her.

The eldest daughter of a marquis's family didn't even receive a hairpin for her coming-of-age ceremony.

At that time, Lin Shaoshu was ordered by the emperor to go out of the city on business. He rode at full speed for two days without sleeping, just to give her the hairpin before her coming-of-age ceremony.

The old lady's spies were everywhere in the Marquis's mansion. Lin Shaoshu did not go through the main gate, but climbed over the wall directly to come in.

The Third Prince, who used to be neatly dressed in his robes and shoes, was like a country boy who had just begun to fall in love. He jumped down and inserted the hairpin into her hair with great care...

The friendship of youth does not seem fake. It is precisely because we have truly loved each other that the subsequent betrayal becomes even more unforgivable.

In this life, Lin Shaoshu was different from his previous life and began to be honest with her...

But just like this hairpin that has changed, it can never be restored.

At this moment, Xiao Ruoruo saw that Xiao Xuetang had a gloomy look in his eyes, and she didn't know whether he was staring at the hairpin or at her. It was obvious that she was sweating coldly even in the hot summer.

The nanny behind her gently pulled her and whispered, "Miss, we are in the wrong this time. Let's go."

Now Xiao Ruoruo wanted to leave peacefully, but Xiao Xuetang wouldn't let her...

"You just want to walk away after destroying the gift from the late emperor?"

Xiao Ruoruo said angrily: "It was you who gave this hairpin to us, you..."

Suddenly she met Xiao Xuetang's half-smiley gaze, and immediately realized something...

It was obvious that Xiao Xuetang had deliberately used this hairpin to set a trap!

But Xiao Ruoruo has no evidence...

After all, it was well known that Xiao Xuetang liked the third prince very much, and they were a perfect match in Kyoto. No one would think that Xiao Xuetang would destroy his beloved thing in order to frame a mere legitimate sister.

Xiao Ruoruo could only swallow this loss by herself!

Xiao Ruoruo was not a fool, and she immediately figured out the key. She looked at Xiao Xuetang with her almond-shaped eyes as if she was about to spit fire, and gritted her teeth and said, "What do you want?"

"According to the rules, damaging royal property is equivalent to defying the emperor's authority, and the lightest punishment is 100 strokes of the cane...Since we are sisters, I won't kill you. You can slap yourselves, and leave when I am satisfied."

Xiao Xuetang glanced at the Xiao Qi sisters standing beside them.

They were also responsible for the damage to the hairpin.

The Xiao Qi sisters were much more sensible. In order to avoid being kicked out of the Xiao family, they simply slapped themselves in the face.

The sound of slaps rang out in Litangju. Xiao Xuetang glanced at Xiao Ruoruo who was standing there dumbfounded, and asked with a smile: "Sister, you are reluctant to do it yourself and want me to help you? But my subordinates are reckless. What if they hurt your beautiful face?"

After saying that, Bi Hen rolled up his sleeves and said that he would be happy to do it for him.

Seeing Bi Hen's fierce look, Xiao Ruoruo dared not hesitate any longer. Under Xiao Xuetang's cold gaze, she slapped herself twenty times.

In an instant, the sound of applause one after another rang out in Litangju.

The most outstanding daughter of the Xiao family and the most charming and trouble-making girl from the side branches were both taught a lesson in Litangju. Xiao Xuetang's move instantly frightened those who had been eyeing Litangju and were ready to make some ill moves!

This young lady was very quiet before, but it seems like she is planning something big.

The people below looked at Xiao Xuetang with awe, and the second wife sitting there felt even more uncomfortable...

Although the slap didn't hit her face, it was burning with pain. She wanted to leave, but she didn't dare to leave without Xiao Xuetang's permission.

At this moment, the Second Madam had officially learned the tricks of Xiao Xuetang...

Xiao Xuetang is a man who is willing to give up even the hairpin that symbolizes her love.

When blood oozed from the corners of Xiao Ruoruo's mouths, Xiao Xuetang finally spoke, saying, "Let's end today's matter here."

Hearing this, Xiao Ruoruo felt relieved. She looked at Xiao Xuetang hatefully, and with the help of her wet nurse, she quickly left Litangju.

The two concubines of the third house also left in disgrace. Sisters Xiao Qi and Xiao Wen also wanted to take the opportunity to slip away, but were stopped by Xiao Xuetang...

"Stop, are you just leaving like this?"

Xiao Xuetang's voice was still as calm as ever, but the two sisters felt their knees go weak...
