The mistress is reborn, no one who bullies me can escape

Xue Jinhua brushed the matter off with a few words, because compared with Zhao Yuxuan's future, Fan Ge'er's matter had to be put aside for the time being.

"However, mother, please rest assured that the Marquis is now fully committed to his promotion, and I will never let any other matters disturb his mind. As for Brother Fan, although I cannot adopt him at present, I will definitely treat him as my own son."

Xue's mother was displeased and thought to herself, "Treating him as her own child? How can this be considered legitimate?"

However, her daughter's words were so precise and impeccable that she could not think of any better rebuttal for a moment.

"Oh, by the way, I heard that the boy Fan that the Marquis brought back is very adorable. Bring him to mother to see." At this time, Xue had to find another topic to continue the conversation.

Xue Jinhua picked up the teacup, took a sip gracefully, then slowly put it down and said softly, "Mother, what a coincidence. Although Brother Fan has not been officially adopted, he is the son of a benefactor after all. The Marquis pays special attention to him and has entrusted others to send him to a private school. He is not at home at the moment."

The implication is, sorry, you came at the wrong time.

Xue's mother narrowed her eyes slightly, flashing with displeasure. The main purpose of her coming here today was to persuade Xue Jinhua to adopt Fan Ge'er, but her daughter was determined and unmoved, and even refused to see Fan Ge'er. This made her very unhappy and felt that her authority was challenged.

All along, Xue Jinhua had been the one to please her and obey her, but now, the roles seemed to have reversed. Xue's arrogant mentality could not accept this change, and her face became gloomy. She found an excuse and left in a hurry.

"Miss, the old lady is really something. She never comes to our mansion. After finally coming to our mansion, she doesn't come to see you, but to see a stranger?" Sakura looked confused and puzzled.

She originally thought that the old lady came here specifically to visit her young lady, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Xue Jinhua no longer cared about these things. She laughed coldly: "Perhaps in her heart, I, her biological daughter, am not as good as an outsider!"

Yinghua looked at her young lady distressedly and wanted to say a few words of comfort, but suddenly she heard Xue Jinhua say, "From now on, anyone from the Xue Mansion who comes to see me should say I'm not here."

Yinghua was shocked. She knew that this might be inappropriate, but she recalled all the grievances that the young lady had suffered in the Marquis' Mansion over the years, and the Xue family never cared about it. Now that they finally came, they forced the young lady to do something she didn't want to do. No one would want to see such a family again.

"Yes, miss."

After hearing the reply, Xue Jinhua was slightly stunned. Suddenly she remembered something and secretly calculated the time. That thing should be about to happen...

......

After Wang came back from Prince Zhuang's mansion, her face looked very ugly.

Xue Jinhua knew it very well, but she pretended nothing had happened and went back to her room.

When the Marquis learned that his mother had returned, he hurried over and asked anxiously, "Mother, what did my sister say?"

Wang's face was still gloomy, and she replied in a cold tone: "Your sister had a miscarriage and is in poor health. She has to take care of the bedridden prince. There is no one else in the palace who can take care of her, so we can only bring the Crown Prince's Consort back to help."

Zhao Yuxuan didn't care how ugly his mother's face was, and said anxiously: "Qing'er's health is not very good, how can we let her go back to manage the palace at this time!"

Why does he only think about Xue Qing'er and not care about his own sister at all?

Wang looked at her son's expression with mixed feelings. She knew that her son was now so fascinated by Xue Qing'er that he couldn't even tell the truth. She sighed helplessly and said softly, "Yuxuan, it's only a matter of time before Xue Qing'er goes back. This is not only your sister's intention, but also the prince's. Your sister is not in good health now, how can she go against the prince's intention? Instead of dwelling on Xue Qing'er's affairs, you might as well think about your own future."

Zhao Yuxuan felt a sharp pain in his heart when he heard his mother's words. He knew that what his mother said made sense, but he couldn't let go of his longing for Xue Qing'er. He lowered his head silently, suppressed the pain in his heart, and said slowly: "Mom, I know you are right, but my heart... is really uncomfortable."

Wang looked at her son distressedly, patted his shoulder gently, and comforted him: "Yuxuan, I know you feel bad, but this is the reality.

Zhao Yuxuan was silent for a moment, trying to calm himself down. He took a deep breath, then raised his head, looked at his mother firmly, and said, "Mom, I understand."

Zhao Yuxuan calmed down, softened his voice, and continued, "Mom, the chief patriarch told me that he has already made some connections, and now we just need enough money to solve the problem."

Wang was also instantly happy and said hurriedly, "Really? I know. I will go and ask them to sell Xue Jinhua's shop and give you the money."

When Zhao Yuxuan heard Xue Jinhua's name, he still felt a slight shock in his heart, as if he had been pricked by a needle. He wanted to ignore it, but he couldn't.

Forget it, forget it, for the sake of his future, he can only endure it for the time being.

"Oh, by the way, mother, I have a suggestion. I want to get to know the people in our clan and relatives when I come back this time. This way, I can go home and organize a family dinner."

"That's right. It's time for our house to be lively again with your return this time."

The next day, Yinghua told Xue Jinhua about this.

"Miss, the old lady is already selling the shop. The shop will soon be gone. Why aren't you in a hurry?"

"Don't worry, she will pay back double what she took." Xue Jinhua said calmly.

"By the way, Sakura, go inform Li San and ask him to stock up on the two medicinal herbs I want."

"I understand, Miss."

Sakura was puzzled. The situation was so critical, but her young lady didn't seem worried at all.

The Zhao family has a habit of having a meal together on the 15th of every lunar month.

In the past, they were all on duty outside, and the number of people was not complete, so they did not implement it. Now that Zhao Yuxuan is back, he naturally has to abide by this rule.

Zhao Yuxuan had a cold face, Wang and Zhao Yuting also had their own thoughts, only Xue Jinhua had a good appetite, as if nothing had happened.

Before the meal was finished, Wang said, "Jinhua, Yuxuan has been away from home for many years. Now that Yuxuan is back, we should take the opportunity to have some fun in the mansion. Why don't we hold a family dinner? The mansion should also take the opportunity to have some fun, as a way to welcome Yuxuan back."

"Mom, you can arrange it. I have no objection." Xue Jinhua said calmly, like a calm lake without a ripple.

"Since it's a family dinner, then invite all the relatives and clansmen! Invite your Xue family as well."

Xue Jinhua finally understood. Was her mother resorting to this method because she couldn't see Fan Ge'er?

"Mother, of course, please invite Prince Zhuang to come as well," Xue Jinhua said with a smile.

"Forget about going to your sister's house! Your sister just had a miscarriage and is still resting."

"Mother, although my sister can't come, isn't there a prince's wife in our mansion? In the final analysis, they are all in-laws. It doesn't make sense for us to invite the Xue Mansion and not invite the Prince Zhuang Mansion, don't you think?"

Wang was puzzled. It was fine for Fan to meet Xue Qing'er in private, but what if they met in public and got caught?

But she knew that what Xue Jinhua said made sense, and she didn't know how to refuse for a moment, so she could only look at her son.

Zhao Yuxuan also looked indifferent, "Of course we have to invite them, just invite them all together!"

He hadn't seen Qing'er for several days, and it became even more difficult to see her after she returned to the palace.

If she could come, she could also take a look from afar.

Xue Jinhua knew what he was thinking, and she suppressed her disgust without making a sound, and said calmly, "Since the Marquis has no objection, then it's settled."

The two of them still treated me as a dead person. They wanted to flirt with me under my nose, but it was impossible.
