After His Majesty was reborn, the poor little girl in his previous life was spoiled to death

Wu Shilu had no choice but to obey the emperor's words and retreated with the jade box in his hands as if it were a living treasure.

In fact, according to him, the emperor wanted to give a name to the little girl of Xinyuan Marquis's Mansion. It was a great honor. Once the decree was issued, who would not be grateful and shed tears of gratitude?

But the emperor insisted: "This is her name. I am afraid she has forgotten it. Find a way to send it to her."

But also it has to be done quietly, so as not to let "those trivial people" know about it and cause trouble.

So Wu Shilu had no choice but to hold the jade box and think of a way to send it to the girl - who had now become his little ancestor in his heart - without anyone noticing.

Eh?

He actually figured out one.

In the wing on the west side of Songshou Hall, Ning'er had just changed into her pajamas and was lying in bed chatting with Chuncao.

Chuncao leaned over to whisper in her ear, "In our Marquis's room, there is only one concubine, Ye. I heard that she was a maid that the Madam brought from her natal family as a dowry. She decided to raise a concubine. Ye concubine once raised a young master, but unfortunately he died of a fever when he was five years old. I heard that the Marquis was very sad at the time. Originally, if he died young, he would not be allowed to be buried in the ancestral tomb, but the Marquis insisted on giving him a full life span, gave him a school name and a courtesy name, buried him in a tomb, and enjoyed incense."

"I heard that because of this story, he and his wife had a very unhappy relationship. His wife was from a noble family and attached great importance to rules. She was unwilling to mobilize so many troops for a half-born boy who had not grown up yet. But she was not stronger than him, so the matter was finally accomplished by the Marquis."

"It was also because of this incident that Aunt Ye was so grateful to the Marquis that she gradually distanced herself from her young lady."

Ning Er smiled and twisted Chun Cao: "Where did you hear these fabricated stories? Amitabha, you even talked about the Marquis's wife's bedroom affairs."

Chuncao laughed softly and said, "It's not a secret. All the older sisters know it."

Ning Er stared at the lotus pink brocade curtain with dark cloud patterns on the ceiling and said, "Just by looking at this, I know that the Marquis loves children very much. No wonder he takes such good care of me, an orphan girl."

Chuncao grabbed Ning'er's slender wrist and said softly, "That's not necessarily true. The Marquis is absolutely devoted to the young lady! I told you not to scold me, young lady."

Ning'er was still young and childish. Her glass-like eyes turned as she heard the words, "You tell me, I won't tell anyone else."

Chuncao continued to use her super gossip ability: "I heard from the elder sister beside the old lady that we should go to Minister Luo's residence early tomorrow morning to pick up the young master and young lady of our Marquis' residence and bring them back home."

Ning'er realized that Chuncao was referring to the twins born to Marquis' wife Luo, the eldest son Shen Chengying and the eldest daughter Shen Ruyao of the Xinyuan Marquis's mansion.

Chuncao said mysteriously, "These two little masters have been doted on since they were born. They are a pair of extremely blessed twins, a dragon and a phoenix. Everyone in the capital is envious of them. Their maternal grandparents love them very much too, and they are thinking about bringing them back to live with them after a few months. They really want the best, but unfortunately, the Marquis doesn't like them!"

Ning'er was shocked: "Chuncao, stop talking nonsense, why doesn't the Marquis like his own children!" What's more, they are a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, who are as perfect as a golden boy and a jade girl.

Chuncao said, "I just heard it from others, young lady, just take it as a joke. It is said that the years when the children were born, the Marquis led the troops to the border, and when the Marquis returned to the capital, the two young masters were not young anymore. But at first, the Marquis still loved them very much, but later on, a few small things happened one after another, which made the Marquis gradually dislike them."

Ning Er was surprised and said, "How can you bear to alienate such a precious pair of treasures even if they cause trouble?"

Chuncao lowered her voice, "Who can tell what happened so many years ago, but I heard one thing for sure. The Marquis had two pets in his early years, a pair of snow-white lion cats with mandarin duck eyes. One of them accidentally bumped into the eldest lady in the garden. The young lady asked the wet nurse to catch the cat, but the cat naturally refused and scratched the servant who was sent to catch it. The eldest lady got angry and had the cat caught and thrown to death!"

Ning'er was shocked when she heard this!

"Who knew that the cat was already pregnant at the time, and one dead cat killed several people! When the other cat learned of the tragic death of its mate, it refused to eat or drink for several days and followed her. At that time, the Marquis had just returned from a bloody battle on the battlefield and had seen too many deaths and deaths. He was fasting and eating vegetarian food in the mansion, and when he saw such a tragic thing, he was furious."

Ning Er was stunned when she heard this, but Chun Cao continued:

"The eldest daughter was only five or six years old at the time, and the Marquis scolded her, saying, 'You are so young, yet you are so greedy and stubborn. If you don't discipline her strictly, she will not even care about human life in the future.' The Marquis wanted to punish the eldest daughter, but the lady stopped him, saying that it was unreasonable for an animal to hinder the master, and that the eldest daughter was just young and ignorant, and she would be fine when she grew up."

"After such an argument, the Marquis finally gave in. But after that, other than their daily life and food, the Marquis no longer cared much about their children's affairs."

Ning Er sighed deeply: "This is really, I don't know what to say!"

"But whether it's true or false, you don't have to believe it all."

Chuncao tucked in her daughter's quilt and lowered the bed curtain. Under the candlelight, Ning'er's eyes were a little cunning. She concluded: "In short, we should avoid them when we see them in the future."

Chuncao chuckled and said, "Don't be afraid, girl. I'm just saying this to help you out."

As she spoke, she turned off the light, and her dark eyes disappeared into the night: "Besides, just wait and see, no one will let you avoid them!"

----

It was late at night, but the lights were still on in Guiyi Hall.

Luo Miaoyun turned over and called out, "Zhu Xiao."

A maid with almond eyes and a pointed chin responded and hurriedly got up from the couch: "Madam, the servant is here."

Luo Miaoyun closed her eyes and asked, "Have you arranged a car to pick up Ying'er and Yao'er tomorrow?"

Zhu Xiao said hurriedly, "Master, don't worry. I have already told you this morning. Steward Lin knows the rules very well and has prepared gifts for the old master and mistress, Lord Luo and his wife, and the brothers and sisters."

Luo Miaoyun said "hmm". Her sister-in-law is the head of the Luo family now. Her father and mother love their grandchildren, but Ying'er and Yao'er will be staying here for half a month, so as a daughter, she cannot lose her manners.

"How are things going in the mansion?"

Zhu Xiao heard that this question was about Song Shou Tang, and hurriedly said, "Now everyone in the mansion knows that a cousin has come to Song Shou Tang, and the old lady even sent Feicui to teach her the rules. But the girl didn't say anything, just hiding in the old lady's room and not coming out."

Luo Miaoyun sneered when she heard this, but said something very harsh: "This is called a barking dog that bites."

Zhu Xiao said hurriedly, "That's right. Even if she is a young lady from a poor family, is she worthy of the old lady's treatment? I saw many people in the mansion privately saying that the old lady has taken a fancy to that girl and is deliberately trying to promote her!"

Luo Miaoyun didn't take it seriously: "Haha, she's just a yellow-haired girl, don't you think about your fate?"

"and many more?"

As she was talking, she suddenly felt something was wrong, and she stood up suddenly and grabbed Zhu Xiao's hand:

"You'll have to watch over him tomorrow! I can't let a country girl bring harm to my little brother Ying!"
