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

"Xue Jinhua, I'm talking to you, can you hear me?"

Xue Jinhua came back to her senses and looked at the person in front of her, her heart full of doubts. Who is this person? Why is he here? She tried hard to recall, but her mind was blank.

This familiar voice she heard.

The voice startled her heart. She slowly turned her head and saw a familiar face. Wasn't this her mother-in-law, Wang? Why was she here?

Xue Jinhua felt dizzy and shook her head vigorously, trying to sober herself up. But when she looked at Wang again, she found a hint of indifference and dissatisfaction in her eyes.

"You have been married to our mansion for several years, right? You still don't have a child. It's not a big deal that Yuxuan wants to include his colleague's orphan in our mansion's family tree when he comes back this time."

"Besides, the biological father of this child is Yuxuan's savior. If we take good care of his orphan, Yuxuan will feel better, right? And I think this child is well-behaved and sensible, and will definitely be a help to Yuxuan in the future. In the future, you can raise this child by your side and take good care of him. Yuxuan will definitely be grateful to you, and your relationship with Yuxuan will gradually improve!"

Looking at Wang's sarcastic face, it was like a cactus covered with thorns, and it was calculating, like a shrewd fox. Zhao Yuxuan went out to take up his post, and when he came back, he brought a four-year-old boy named Fan to her to enroll him in the family tree. It took a while for her to recover. She was reborn, in the fourth year after her marriage with Zhao Yuxuan.

When Zhao Yuxuan returned from his post, he brought back a four-year-old boy named Fan and asked her to include him in the family tree of the Marquisate.

Although Xue Jinhua cared about Zhao Yuxuan very much, she also didn't want to raise a child for someone else, so she never gave in, as if her heart was like a solid fortress that no force could break through.

She remembered that in her previous life, her mother-in-law Wang had always advised her to let go.

If she remembered correctly, Xue Qing'er got married earlier than her. According to Fan Ge'er's age, he should have been pregnant before she became a widow.

At this moment, Xue Jinhua's heart was in turmoil. She never thought that Zhao Yuxuan, who had always been self-important and self-righteous, would be such a despicable person. He actually occupied his niece-in-law, which was simply outrageous! Xue Jinhua couldn't help feeling sick and angry, and at the same time, she had a deeper understanding of Zhao Yuxuan's true face. This hypocrite, who appeared to be righteous on the surface, but did such dirty things behind the scenes, was really disgusting. And all this also made Xue Jinhua realize that the so-called "noble" was just a hypocritical appearance.

"Mother, this child is not of our Marquis' bloodline after all. I'm afraid the Patriarch won't agree. I understand the Marquis's difficulties and am willing to include him in the family tree, but in the end, the Patriarch still needs to agree."

In my last life, these people actually deceived me! How despicable! They teamed up to play with me, and put me in a difficult situation, unable to extricate myself. But now, I have been reborn, and this time, I will never let them succeed again! Especially Xue Qing'er, your children will never step into the Marquis' Mansion! Humph, I will make them pay the price one by one!

When she came, the mother-in-law Wang was afraid that Xue Jinhua would not agree. Now it seems that she was overthinking. Her worries were like floating clouds in the sky, without any weight.

She knew that Xue Jinhua cared about her son, so she deliberately brought the topic to Yuxuan, because she knew that as long as it was good for Yuxuan, she would not disagree.

So she said, "As long as you agree, I will talk to the chief patriarch." Mother-in-law Wang took advantage of the situation and continued, "I want to tell you one more thing."

"Our Yuxuan is back now. The courtyard is a bit too small at present. In the future, when colleagues come, there must be a decent place to entertain them."

"Mother is right. I will have someone clean up a courtyard for the Marquis."

"It does take a lot of time to tidy up a brand new courtyard. It would be so embarrassing if Yuxuan's colleagues came to visit and saw that our courtyard is so simple and shabby! In this case, how can Yuxuan stand in front of his colleagues?"

"Then according to mother's opinion, what should I do...?" Xue Jinhua said calmly.

"In my opinion, we can first buy a yard outside the mansion."

Xue Jinhua remained silent, with a lot of thoughts in her mind. In her previous life, no matter what they said to her, she always believed it without reservation, and never doubted whether there was any fraud. This credulous character made her suffer a lot, and it was not until she died that she suddenly realized that those people had been deceiving her. The so-called "buying a courtyard for Zhao Yuxuan" was actually to satisfy Xue Qing'er's selfish desires.

Recalling the past, Xue Jinhua couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart. She used to believe everyone's words so naively, but never thought about the real purpose behind these people. Now, after being reborn, she vowed never to trust anyone easily again, especially those who had hurt her. She had to learn to protect herself and no longer be fooled by other people's sweet words.

Thinking of this, Xue Jinhua took a deep breath, her eyes firm and resolute. She secretly told herself that she must live a wonderful life in this life and not repeat the same mistakes. She must work hard to change her fate, get rid of the shadow of her past life, and become a strong, independent and wise woman. Only in this way can she truly control her own life and live a happy and fulfilling life.

Seeing Xue Jinhua remained silent, Wang continued, "You also know that the capital is different from other places. The rules and etiquette here are very complicated, and the affairs of the officialdom are even more complicated and changeable. After all, you were raised in a merchant family, and you may not understand these things, but I believe that as long as Yuxuan is here, and Yuxuan manages the relationship, and gets promoted later, won't you also enjoy the benefits?"

This family is simply a bunch of disgusting garbage! On the one hand, they are full of contempt and scorn for me, a person from a merchant family, and think that I am of low status and unworthy of being with them; on the other hand, they are eyeing my dowry and want to take it for themselves. This hypocritical and greedy face is really disgusting.

"Mother is right. It's my fault for not considering it carefully." Xue Jinhua lowered her head, looking like she was willing to learn, but her heart was full of disgust and aversion. She couldn't help but think of her experience in her previous life, when her mother-in-law always whispered similar words in her ears. These words gradually made her feel inferior and felt that she was really not worthy of Zhao Yuxuan, so she was always careful to please him, fearing that she would lose his favor. However, this humble attitude did not bring her true happiness, but instead made her suffer all kinds of grievances. Now, she has understood all this and will never easily believe her mother-in-law's sweet words again.

But the reason why the Marquis's Mansion failed had a lot to do with Zhao Yuxuan. He was self-righteous and ambitious, and didn't take anyone seriously. In his eyes, he was a child of destiny, and no one could match him.

If it weren't for my help in my previous life, how could he be considered a marquis, let alone promoted? His marquisate was built up bit by bit with his own money.

"How about this, I think the yard next to our back alley is quite good, we can buy it and connect it, so that it can become part of the Marquis's mansion."

In his previous life, Zhao Yuxuan spent his dowry to build a courtyard in the back alley for Xue Qing'er, just like the one she had in the Grand Tutor's Mansion. After he died, the two of them no longer had that shameful wall, as if nothing had ever happened.

Wang's eyes were evasive. She really didn't know how to answer, so she could only say vaguely: "Well...it depends on Yuxuan's opinion." After that, she lowered her head, not daring to look directly into the other's eyes.

"Then let's do as Yuxuan wishes!" The voice was not loud and no emotion could be heard.

"Then look at the silver..."

Wang finally returned to the issue of money. After all, the family situation was like this, and she had stopped managing the family a long time ago, so she didn't have much money left. If she were to manage the family, the money would probably be even less.

Xue Jinhua said casually, "Don't worry, mother. Just go to the storehouse and get as much silver as you need."

Wang was overjoyed, but she still kept a dignified smile on her face. She coughed lightly and slowly said, "Although you are the eldest daughter of the Grand Tutor's Mansion, you didn't grow up in the Grand Tutor's Mansion after all, so there are some things you may not understand."

As she spoke, a barely perceptible smug look flashed across her eyes, and she continued, "I know you are dissatisfied with certain things, but you have to understand that this is the helplessness of life. We all have our own responsibilities and obligations. Sometimes, we need to learn to be tolerant and understanding, so that the family can be harmonious and everyone can live happily."

After saying these words, Wang secretly rejoiced in her heart, thinking that she had successfully put pressure on Xue Jinhua and also demonstrated her authority as an elder. However, she did not know that Xue Jinhua had already seen through her thoughts.

"You marrying our Yuxuan is a blessing you have earned in eight lifetimes, so you must cherish it. If Yuxuan is well, you will also benefit from it."

Blessing?

Taking advantage of it?

What a joke. I thought I was a naive person in my previous life.

Zhao Yuxuan's heart was like a rock, no matter how you tried to warm it up, it wouldn't warm him up, and all he got in the end was endless humiliation.

After Wang left, Yinghua became anxious. She frowned and said to the young lady in an anxious tone, "Young lady, how can you agree to give money to Wang so easily? The Marquis's Mansion is so big and there are not many people. We can clean up a separate courtyard for the Marquis to entertain and live in. In this way, we can save expenses and meet their needs. Why spend a lot of money to buy a courtyard in the back alley? Moreover, the situation of the Marquis's Mansion has just improved. It costs a lot of money to buy a courtyard!" After saying that, she looked at the young lady with heartache, her heart full of worry and dissatisfaction.

If Sakura can understand it, why can't they understand it?

They are just greedy and don't think so much.

Xue Jinhua narrowed her eyes slightly, with a hint of coldness and determination in them. She opened her red lips slightly and said calmly: "Even if I agree, will they definitely get what they want?" This sentence seemed to carry an invisible power that shocked people.

Sakura's eyes widened in astonishment, and she was surprised. She knew the lady's character very well. If she had said such a disobedient word in the past, she would have been severely reprimanded. However, at this moment, the lady not only said it, but also said it so confidently, which surprised Sakura.

She carefully observed the lady's expression and found that the originally cold face had become more resolute and courageous. Perhaps, after experiencing these things, the lady has become no longer as weak and vulnerable as before. Sakura thought to herself, and at the same time, she was happy for the lady's change.

Looking at the determined eyes of the young lady, Sakura suddenly felt that she should re-examine this once weak young lady. She realized that the young lady was gradually growing up and becoming stronger. And this change might bring them more hope and possibilities.

"Sakura, go get the account book."

Soon the account book was brought over. Xue Jinhua looked at the account book, her heart bleeding. Those blood-sucking worms, no matter how much money they sucked, they couldn't fill this bottomless pit. No matter how much money she made over the years, she couldn't fill this bottomless pit. She flipped through the account book, and every page was filled with dense numbers and records, which made her feel dizzy. She couldn't help but think of her hard work over the years, getting up early and going to bed late every day to run the business, and saving money just to save a little more money, but she could never fill this bottomless pit. She even used her dowry from time to time to make up for it.

"Yinghua, go and inform the warehouse that these unnecessary expenses will be waived in the future." Xue Jinhua's tone was firm, and his eyes revealed a determination and decisiveness.

When Yinghua heard this, she showed a surprised expression on her face. She looked at Xue Jinhua and said in disbelief: "Miss, if all these stopped, wouldn't they make a fuss?"

Xue Jinhua smiled, with a sly gleam in her eyes, and said, "This is the effect I want."

Sakura frowned and asked in confusion: "Miss, will this cause unnecessary trouble?"

Xue Jinhua shook her head and explained, "No, I want to let those blood-sucking bugs know that I am not so easy to bully now."

Yinghua nodded, understanding Xue Jinhua's intention, but still said with some worry: "But, Miss, if you do this, some people may be dissatisfied with you, and some may even say bad things about you behind your back."

Xue Jinhua smiled and said, "So what?"

Yinghua looked at Xue Jinhua and couldn't help but feel admiration in her heart. She felt that Xue Jinhua had become stronger and more resolute, and was no longer the weak and vulnerable young lady she used to be.
