The mistress is reborn, no one who bullies me can escape
Chapter 21 Meeting Brother Fan
Jiang frowned, her face showing displeasure, "No matter how many mundane things there are, it is still a matter of exposure. After all, my sister-in-law is the wife of the Marquis's Mansion, so she still needs to be careful."
Xue Jinhua's sister-in-law had always been proud of herself and looked down on her because she was the daughter of a merchant.
But she never showed her disdain, nor did she care about her things, and even looked down on them.
"Sister-in-law, I don't want to either! But you know the situation of our Marquis' Mansion. If we don't take care of the business of the Marquis' Mansion, I'm afraid the life of the Marquis' Mansion will become even more difficult." Xue Jinhua said helplessly.
Jiang's expression suddenly became a little unnatural, and she seemed to have something else to say, but in the end she held back, turned around and left.
Looking at Jiang's receding back, Xue Jinhua shook her head. Her sister-in-law also looked down on her because she came from a merchant family.
However, Xue Jinhua looked at her leaving figure, and a trace of doubt rose in her heart. She walked to the door, and suddenly remembered something, turned to Yinghua and said: "By the way, Yinghua, go and find out why my sister-in-law came back at this time."
Jiang has always been cold, like the cold wind in winter, and she has always been dissatisfied with what the Zhao family has done. Logically, even if the Zhao family tried their best, she would not agree to return to the Marquis' Mansion. However, now she is back, which makes Xue Jinhua feel very confused, as if she is in a fog.
Xue Jinhua came to the alley and calculated the time carefully. She thought that there should be some news, so she planned to find the beggar again to ask about the situation. However, she looked around but still could not find the beggar. It was as if he disappeared out of thin air, like a drop of water merging into the sea, and could no longer be found.
After he left, Yinghua couldn't help but ask, "Miss, do you think that beggar is a charlatan? Otherwise, why did he disappear without a trace?"
Xue Jinhua frowned slightly and shook her head. "No, we didn't give him anything in the first place, and he doesn't know our specific identities. What can he cheat us of?"
"But, Miss, the beggar's behavior was really strange. He disappeared suddenly like a gust of wind." Sakura frowned and said in confusion.
Xue Jinhua smiled and comforted her, "Yinghua, don't think too much. Maybe he had something urgent and had to leave."
Thinking back to her past life, some things had gone off the normal track, and now there were some things she was not sure about.
"Go and inform Li San and ask him to look for it privately."
She wanted to control everything that might happen, firmly in her own hands like a clenched fist, so that she could feel at ease.
When Xue Jinhua returned home in the evening, she heard a cry like a cuckoo crying blood coming from Wang's room.
Xue Jinhua frowned, "Yinghua, go and see what's going on. It's only been half a day, how come it's become so chaotic?"
Just as Xue Jinhua was about to sit down, the maid ran in: "Miss, the old lady and the young lady had a quarrel."
In her previous life, her sister-in-law was very strong-willed, and her mother-in-law always wanted to put on airs and control her from time to time. But her sister-in-law was well-read and well-educated, and it would have been good enough if she didn't educate her mother-in-law in return. How could she, the mother-in-law, have the right to always find fault?
It's like a cunning fox who always wants to show off in front of a tiger, but ends up being bitten back by the tiger.
Xue Jinhua also wanted to gossip, "Tell me what happened?"
The maid gasped and said, "After the young mistress came back, she got angry with me, saying that he spent his days drinking and partying, doing all kinds of evil things, and bringing shame to her and the Marquis's mansion. Don't you know that, my young master? I'm not afraid of anything, but the young mistress is the one I'm most afraid of. So I quickly knelt down in front of her and kowtowed to admit my fault! But as luck would have it, the old lady saw this."
"The old lady scolded the young lady on the spot, saying that she was being overbearing and that no one would let their husband kneel down to them. So she used her status as a mother-in-law to pressure the young lady, and as a result... the young lady directly retorted, saying that it was the father's fault if the son was not well educated... Anyway, I don't know what the young lady said to the old lady specifically, but after she finished speaking, the old lady left in anger."
Xue Jinhua felt that the scene was very spectacular just by thinking about it.
"That's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that I told the old lady not to meddle in other people's business, saying that it was a pleasure between them as a couple. The old lady was so angry that she seemed to faint on the spot. Even now that she has woken up, she is still cursing."
"Oh, mother is probably getting old and confused. Why is she rushing to reason with my sister-in-law?" In Xue Jinhua's opinion, her sister-in-law has no problems except for her bad personality. Although she is a little rigid, she is a sensible person.
"By the way, Sakura, have you found out what I asked you to find out?"
Sakura said, "Miss, there is a reason why the young lady came back this time."
Xue Jinhua's eyes darkened, "Oh, what's the reason?"
"The young lady should be pregnant."
Xue Jinhua was not too surprised. Because she clearly remembered that at this time in her previous life, Jiang's belly had already started to move. Although she always regarded herself as noble, she finally chose to compromise for the sake of the child. This helplessness and struggle made her sigh at the fickleness of fate.
Xue Jinhua couldn't help but sigh in her heart, if Jiang could completely get away from the Zhao family, then maybe she would find a way out. However, the reality was cruel, even if Jiang couldn't get rid of the Zhao family after marriage, then she would be hopeless.
Thinking of this, Xue Jinhua suddenly felt melancholy. Yinghua beside her was confused. Why did her young lady seem so cheerful just now but so depressed now?
"By the way, since mother is ill now and my brother and sister-in-law have returned, our family should reunite. Go to Prince Zhuang's mansion and tell my eldest aunt to come back to visit mother and enlighten her."
"As you command, miss."
Not long after Sakura left, Brother Fan walked in.
"Madam, I heard you were looking for me."
Since the last incident, Brother Fan's temperament has become much more stable, but he is still young and curious, so he started looking around as soon as he entered the house.
"Brother Fan, you have been in the mansion for some time, right?"
"Madam, yes, it has been almost a month."
"Have you missed your father and mother during this period?"
Brother Fan's heart tightened. Although he missed his parents very much, he knew that he couldn't reveal his identity, so he answered obediently: "No, I'm fine here."
However, his eyes unconsciously revealed a hint of longing.
The eldest lady keenly caught this point. She smiled gently and continued to ask: "Have you encountered any difficulties or unhappy things here? If so, you can tell me."
Brother Fan quickly shook his head and said, "No, everyone is very nice to me and I am very happy."
He prayed silently in his heart, hoping that the lady would not ask any more questions, otherwise he really didn't know how to respond.
The eldest lady looked at Brother Fan's nervous expression and felt that this child was a little strange. But she did not continue to ask, but said gently: "That's good, if you need anything, just tell me."
Of course he thought about it, how could he not? Now Brother Fan couldn't understand it. His mother and father both said that this was his home, but he didn't understand why he couldn't just tell others that this was his home? Why couldn't he call his mother "mother" and his father "father"? Not only that, his father also asked him to deceive the beautiful lady in front of him.
These questions troubled Fan Ge'er, making him feel very confused and uneasy. He didn't know how long this life would last, he just hoped that he could live here openly, because this was his home.
But his parents said that the reason why I am like this now, why I can’t say this place is my home, and why I can’t recognize my father and mother, is because of the person in front of me.
Xue Jinhua gently fiddled with the teacup in her hand, but her eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of a figure not far away. She quickly put down the teacup, stretched out her hand to pull Fan Ge'er to her side, and said softly: "Fan Ge'er, although your parents are gone, you are a very filial child. If your parents knew how well-behaved and sensible you are, they would definitely feel very relieved."
When Brother Fan heard this, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes. He was about to say something but was interrupted by Zhao Yuxuan's voice.
"Brother Fan, didn't I tell you to come directly to my room after school? Why are you here?" Zhao Yuxuan's tone was filled with anger and his face became serious.
Brother Fan looked at him, his heart filled with fear and anxiety. He didn't dare to speak anymore, but just stood there with his head down, trembling.
However, Xue Jinhua stood up, walked to Zhao Yuxuan, and gently explained: "My Lord, don't be angry, don't scare the child. After all, he is still young. I feel that this child has been in our house for such a long time, and I haven't had time to take a good look at him, so I specially found an opportunity today to chat with him and understand his situation."
Zhao Yuxuan frowned and stared at Xue Jinhua's face, as if trying to find some clues from her expression. His eyes revealed deep doubt and confusion.
"My Lord, after all, this child's parents saved your life, so it's only natural for me to show some concern for him." Xue Jinhua said with a serious face and a steady tone, just wanting to disgust him.
