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

The corners of Zhao Yuting's eyes twitched, and she cursed in her heart: "This damn woman, how dare she be so ungrateful!" Although her mother was the old lady of the Marquis's Mansion, she actually came from a small family, even worse than her eldest sister-in-law! If she relied on her mother to handle her marriage, it would be difficult to get the ideal result, so she came to Xue Jinhua for help under the banner of her eldest brother.

She had already begged the other party so humbly, but she didn't expect to be rejected. She was really worthy of being a daughter raised by a merchant family, so lacking in insight and judgment.

"Sister-in-law, if mother agrees to this, does it mean that this matter can be approved?" Zhao Yuting asked impatiently.

"Little sister, I think you should ask mother first before making a decision!" Xue Jinhua did not give a direct affirmative answer, but responded vaguely.

Xue Jinhua's ambiguous way of expressing herself did not explicitly reject her, but gave her a glimmer of hope.

So, after Zhao Yuting left, Yinghua couldn't help but say to Xue Jinhua worriedly, "Miss, if you tell my aunt like this, what if the old lady really agrees to her request? If you let Miss handle this matter, what will we do?"

The cool light shone through the window onto Xue Jinhua's beautiful face, making her already beautiful face even more charming. She sat there quietly, looking like a fairy descending to earth, which made people marvel.

"Don't worry! Don't you have your brother and sister-in-law in the mansion? No matter what happens, it won't be my turn." Xue Jinhua comforted with a smile.

After hearing this, Sakura finally felt relieved.

"Oh, by the way, Sakura, how's the situation with Li San?" Xue Jinhua suddenly remembered the important matter and his expression became serious.

Seeing that the young lady asked so seriously, Yinghua immediately put away her smile and answered seriously: "Young lady, I was just about to report this to you! Li San sent his confidant to find me this afternoon, saying that Li San has already stockpiled everything that can be stored around Kyoto according to your instructions, especially the several kinds of medicinal herbs that the young lady asked for. At present, they are almost out of stock in the entire Kyoto and dozens of miles away."

Xue Jinhua nodded slightly, secretly calculating the time in her heart. It was about half a month...

"Tell Li San to hurry up and find a way to continue stockpiling medicinal materials." Xue Jinhua said with a firm look.

"Yes, miss," Sakura agreed immediately.

Xue Jinhua looked at the timeline she had drawn on the table with a brush, which was densely filled with various events. She frowned and thought about what to do next. Suddenly, she looked up and asked Yinghua beside her: "Yinghua, is there any news from the beggar?"

Yinghua quickly replied, "Miss, the beggar has also sent a message, asking us to meet at Huangshan Temple in five days."

Xue Jinhua frowned even more, and she couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Yinghua couldn't help but ask, "Miss, do you think this beggar is reliable?"

Sakura's face was full of confusion and worry. This beggar had no fixed place to live. If he really had news about his master, why didn't he just come over and tell them? Why did he have to find a little beggar to come over and make things so mysterious?

Xue Jinhua was silent for a moment after hearing Yinghua's words, then slowly said, "Yinghua, be more careful with your words next time. The beggar must have his reasons for doing this. Let's go to Huangshan Temple in five days."

Yinghua nodded, but still said with some worry: "Miss, the current situation in the mansion... the Marquis is still sick, and the old lady is watching you so closely, what excuse can we find to go out?"

Xue Jinhua smiled slightly and said confidently, "I have my own way."

Yinghua looked at Xue Jinhua curiously, and saw a sly glint in her eyes.

Xue Jinhua said softly, "Didn't the young lady want to seek a marriage partner recently? Find someone to casually mention it to her. The marriage partners prayed for in Huangshan Temple are very effective."

Sakura suddenly understood, her eyes full of admiration, "Miss, I understand."

The next day was the first day of the new year, which was the day when everyone in the Marquis' Mansion gathered together for dinner.

Zhao Yuxuan was still wearing his hat, and his expression still didn't look very good. Xue Jinhua was sitting next to him. Although the man in front of her was still as beautiful as jade, whenever Xue Jinhua thought of how he looked that day, she felt as if she was looking at a toad swaying in front of her. Her stomach churned, and she couldn't eat at all.

"Jinhua, I have something to discuss with you."

Xue Jinhua had no appetite to begin with, and was worried about having no excuses. Now that Wang had spoken, she had an excuse, "Mom, we are all family, why are you being so polite to me? If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."

"You... little sister is not young anymore."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xue Jinhua saw Jiang's hand tremble slightly.

"Mom is old now, and it's not convenient for her to go out. She doesn't know as many people as you young people, so you should be more careful about your sister's affairs."

If it were in her previous life, facing such a request, Xue Jinhua would definitely agree without hesitation and keep it in mind. When she goes out, she will definitely go to great lengths to help find suitable young talents. However, the situation is completely different now.

In her previous life, Zhao Yuting also liked the prince of Zhenguo Mansion, but when she found out about his true character, she decisively stopped the marriage. Not only that, she also told Zhao Yuting about the number one scholar out of kindness. In the end, the prince of Zhenguo Mansion died young, while the number one scholar rose to prominence.

However, Zhao Yuting did not show any gratitude, but often caused trouble and difficulties for her. What was even more infuriating was that even after knowing Xue Qing'er's affairs, Zhao Yuting still had no regrets, and even spoke ill of her in front of her, sneering and sarcastically saying: "If you can't even take care of your own man, what's the point of you still being alive? But it's no wonder, after all, you are just raised by a merchant family. My brother is willing to marry you, you should be grateful!"

Xue Jinhua thought of her past life. Those scenes kept appearing in her mind, as if they happened just yesterday. She couldn't help but smile, "Mom, I still can't help with this matter."

When Zhao Yuting heard this, her face immediately turned gloomy, and her voice rose eight degrees, "Xue Jinhua, what do you mean? Is this how you refuse when your mother asks you to do something? What kind of daughter-in-law would be so unreasonable? You just talk back to your mother-in-law like this, don't you know the rules?"

Xue Jinhua lowered her head and secretly glanced at Jiang who was sitting next to her. She saw that Jiang's hand holding the chopsticks was clenched into a fist, and even the blue veins on her hand were bulging. She looked like she could no longer endure it.

Xue Jinhua quickly raised her head, her eyes full of grievance, and she explained carefully: "Mother, don't be angry, I didn't mean anything else, you misunderstood me! Of course I am willing to help my younger sister, but I really can't do it! Think about it, I'm just a woman from a merchant family, with shallow knowledge and limited abilities, and I usually come into contact with merchants. How could I possibly find out the whereabouts of the prince? That's why I refused, and I didn't want to disappoint my younger sister. Moreover, I was also thinking about my younger sister, afraid of delaying her lifelong event!" As she spoke, she squeezed out a few tears, looking pitiful.

Xue Jinhua's words were well-reasoned and irrefutable.

Zhao Yuting could only look at her mother angrily. Now she could only ask her mother for help.

Wang had never expected that Xue Jinhua, who was usually docile, would be so eloquent and eloquent today. Her words were so logical that people could not find any words to refute her.

"Jinhua, is there really nothing you can do? Is there really no hope for your sister's marriage?"

"Mother, I am just an ordinary daughter of a merchant. How can I have such great ability? But my sister-in-law comes from a scholarly family. She usually makes friends with noble people..."

After hearing what Xue Jinhua said, Wang and Zhao Yuting suddenly came to their senses and they both turned their eyes to Jiang.

There was a crisp "bang" sound, and Jiang angrily threw the chopsticks on the table. This sudden action scared Wang next to her, and her body began to tremble involuntarily.

"I've really learned a lot. I've lived for so many years, but I've never heard of my mother letting her sisters-in-law arrange her younger sister-in-law's marriage when she was still alive. You Zhao family members are really shameless. I can't afford to lose face for our Jiang family. Mother, don't think about this anymore. You should decide your younger sister's marriage yourself!"

Compared to Xue Jinhua's euphemism, Jiang was more direct and decisive. She refused without hesitation, "Besides, my sister-in-law hasn't done anything wrong yet, but my younger sister scolded her so bluntly. She is also trying to sow discord between my mother and my sister-in-law, and openly contradicting her own sister-in-law. If this matter is really agreed to, and it fails in the end, then won't my younger sister put all the responsibility on me?"

Her words were so blunt that they bordered on rudeness, and she was just short of accusing her of being shameless to her face.

Wang's face became tense, and Zhao Yuting was so angry that she left her seat crying.

Xue Jinhua felt happy in her heart, but at the same time she envied Jiang. Jiang's strong family background allowed her to do whatever she wanted in her husband's family without any scruples, and she could even ignore other people's face.

"Okay, you better stop talking!"

"Say less? Is there anything I said that is unreasonable? She has a bad character, but she still wants to climb up the social ladder. She doesn't even look at what she looks like..."

"Mom, we have something else to do in the room, so we won't have breakfast..." Zhao Yuhang couldn't control the situation anymore, so he pulled Jiang out, saying as he walked, "Little ancestor, please say less..."

"Humph, if the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked. It is because of her inaction on weekdays that this youngest child has become so ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth... It's fine if he harms his mother's family... but why is he thinking of harming other families now..."

Even after leaving the house, she could still vaguely hear Jiang's scolding. Her scolding was like a sharp knife, stabbing Wang and making her face turn blue and white like a chameleon. At this moment, Xue Jinhua felt very comfortable in her heart.
