The mistress is reborn, no one who bullies me can escape
Chapter 69: Letter from Xue Mansion, Entering the Palace to See the Emperor
"Miss... are you sure you want to do this?" Sakura looked hesitant and worried, her tone full of uncertainty.
Others may not know, but Sakura knows it very well in her heart.
Xin Tao is the maid of her brother-in-law. Before her young lady entered the mansion, she had already been serving her brother-in-law in the house. Later, because she was too cunning, she was arranged by the young lady to work in the backyard. If the young lady had not mentioned it, she would have almost forgotten the existence of such a person.
After all, this is her first person. Yinghua thinks that when the master sees Xintao, his old feelings will definitely rekindle. By then, will the son-in-law have no affection for his young lady at all? Thinking of this, Yinghua's face turned very ugly.
"Sakura, I know your concerns, but you have been with me for so long, don't you understand my feelings yet?" Seeing Sakura's worried face, the lady smiled slightly and said softly.
Seeing that her young lady was not joking with her, Yinghua was shocked, "Miss... Have you really never thought about reconciling with your son-in-law?"
Xue Jinhua shook her head gently, her eyes revealing a hint of determination: "Yinghua, he is so cruel and ungrateful to me, and he humiliated me like that, do you think I can continue to be with him? There is no feeling between him and me anymore..." Whenever she thought of her experience in her previous life, and the scene where Zhao Yuxuan pushed her out without mercy when facing the threat from the second brother Xue, endless hatred surged in her heart.
"I know very well that the Zhao family will never agree to a divorce. I don't have a strong family to back me up, and I can't think of any better solution. But as long as I am still in the Zhao family, I will make sure that the Zhao family will not have peace."
Sakura looked at her young lady's determined eyes and finally understood her determination. She really didn't plan to live with her son-in-law anymore.
"No matter what decision you make, Sakura will always be by your side," Sakura said softly, her eyes full of loyalty and determination.
Xue Jinhua then slowly said, "Okay, just do as I say. Tell Xintao that if she wants to stay in the mansion safely, she must behave herself. If she has any other improper thoughts, then this family will not tolerate her."
"Yes, sir. I'll take care of it right away."
When Yinghua went to the backyard to look for Xintao, she found her working hard. Her delicate hands had become rough due to long hours of work, and her face was no longer delicate or rude. When Xintao saw Yinghua, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Sister Sakura, please tell the Madam that I know I was wrong and ask her to forgive me."
"Okay, since you have realized your mistake, that's good. But the lady asked me to convey a task to you." Sakura said to Xintao.
Hearing this, Xin Tao's eyes sparkled with hope, and she asked eagerly: "Sister Sakura, what is the mission? Please tell me, as long as I can, I will do my best."
"Don't worry, as long as you are loyal to the Madam, she will not kill you." Sakura continued, "The Madam is kind-hearted. You made such a big mistake in the past, but she didn't hold a grudge against you. She even gave some money to your mother some time ago. You should be content."
Xin Tao bit her lip and said nothing.
She knew that Yinghua was using her mother to threaten her. If she didn't serve the eldest lady well, her mother would probably die.
After so many years, Xin Tao actually knew very well that the Zhao family were all heartless people, and they were nothing without the eldest lady.
But now she has an old mother at home who needs to be taken care of, so she can only swallow her anger.
If she wants to live a good life, she must hold on to the eldest lady's thighs tightly.
After all, only with the support and trust of the eldest lady can one gain a firm foothold in this deep mansion and obtain better living conditions and development opportunities...
So Xin Tao raised her head, looked at Yinghua and said, "Sister Yinghua is right, I just don't know what the lady needs me to do?" Her eyes were full of expectation and desire, hoping to get some useful information and instructions from Yinghua.
Yinghua glanced at Xintao, nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "You are also aware of the current situation of the Zhao family. The eldest lady sympathizes with the old lady's hard work and specially asked you to take care of the master." This was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise for Xintao.
Xin Tao heard what Yinghua said, and she was filled with joy. However, when she thought about it carefully, she felt something was wrong.
She remembered that when the eldest lady entered the mansion, she relied on the master's favor for her and disrespected the eldest lady, and even provoked her in a show of force.
But the eldest lady at that time did not bother her too much, instead she sent her to the backyard to do some heavy work so that she could learn the principles and rules of being a human being. Thinking of this, Xin Tao couldn't help feeling guilty.
She didn't know whether the eldest lady still remembered what happened that year, and she didn't know whether this arrangement was made intentionally by the eldest lady.
But no matter what, she couldn't miss this opportunity. As long as she could seize this opportunity and perform well, she might be able to regain the trust and support of the eldest lady.
All of a sudden, the eldest lady asked her to go back to the master, which made Xintao very confused and puzzled.
She couldn't help but doubt the real intention of the eldest lady. Is there some unspeakable secret hidden in this? Why did the eldest lady suddenly arrange for her to be with the master? The more Xin Tao thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong, so she decided to test Yinghua.
Xin Tao was no fool. She keenly sensed the conspiracy, so she asked cautiously, "Sister Sakura, is it just as simple as taking care of Grandpa? I've been in the backyard for too long, and my mind is a little confused. Please give me some pointers, Sister Sakura."
Seeing Xin Tao's humble and flattering appearance, Yinghua secretly laughed in her heart, thinking that this woman was really smart. However, this was also good, which showed that Xin Tao had learned how to be humble and knew the limits.
Yinghua smiled and explained, "Madam is usually very busy, and Master has a lot of things to do, so you'd better ask Master not to disturb Madam's normal life. Do you understand?"
Xin Tao nodded, indicating that she understood, but she was even more confused. She began to think about what the eldest lady's purpose was, and why did she want her to take care of the master? Was it because the master was in poor health and needed someone to take care of him? Or was it because of some other reason?
Although Xin Tao was in the backyard, she was also very clear about what was going on in the mansion. She instantly understood the attitude and thoughts of the eldest lady towards the master...
"Please rest assured, Madam. I know what to do and will never give you the chance to disturb you." Xin Tao replied respectfully.
Yinghua nodded in satisfaction. "The east room has been cleaned up, and the things that the Madam gave you as a reward are also placed in it. You must not let the Madam down."
Hearing this, Xin Tao felt very happy. She looked at Yinghua gratefully and nodded repeatedly to show that she understood.
Then she hurried to the designated room and began to dress up carefully.
Although her hands became rough from doing rough work and she looked older than her actual age, she was still young and in good shape. After careful dressing and applying rouge and powder, her face was completely renewed, without any trace of fatigue or vicissitudes.
Xintao quickly took advantage of Wang's absence and quietly walked into the room.
"Uncle." Xin Tao called softly.
However, when she saw Zhao Yuxuan clearly, she was shocked. The Zhao Yuxuan in front of her was completely different from the image in her memory. If Yinghua hadn't been waiting outside, she would even doubt whether she had walked into the wrong house.
The man in front of me has sparse hair on his head, spots all over his face, and his skin is rougher than that of a servant who has been doing rough work for a long time. Is this still the master who was as bright as the bright moon before?
"Who are you?"
Zhao Yuxuan stood against the light and could not see who was standing outside the door. In addition, he was drinking to drown his sorrows, so his consciousness was already blurred, making it even more difficult for him to recognize the person.
Xin Tao came to her senses and realized that Zhao Yuxuan at this moment was no different from the drunkard on the street. No wonder the eldest lady was so disgusted. Even she herself felt disgusted when she saw such a scene.
But for the sake of her family, and to be able to leave the backyard and no longer do those menial chores, she had to endure it no matter what.
"Uncle, I'm Xin Tao!"
New peach?
When he was young and full of vigor and vitality, that was the proudest moment of his life, and countless beautiful memories flooded into his heart like a tide.
Zhao Yuxuan woke up instantly and grabbed Xin Tao, his eyes flashing with surprise and excitement: "Is it you? Is it really... you?" His voice trembled a little, as if he couldn't believe what he saw.
Xin Tao's heart moved. She didn't expect that he still remembered her. She couldn't help but feel some real emotions in her heart.
She nodded slightly and said softly: "Yes, sir, it's really me..." There was a hint of tenderness and expectation in her eyes, as if she hoped that this moment could last forever.
It's only natural to be distracted by alcohol... Sakura heard the noise inside soon and couldn't help blushing.
She quietly left the door, secretly sighing at the power of "love" in her heart.
When she went back to report to Xue Jinhua, Yinghua was also very surprised, "I was worried that my son-in-law would not accept Xintao. Now it seems that I was overthinking it. Xintao does have some tricks." There was a hint of surprise and admiration on her face, and she was surprised by Xintao's performance.
Xue Jinhua smiled and nodded, "As a human being, you have to pay something in order to achieve your goal."
There was a hint of deep meaning in her eyes, as if she was thinking about something.
For Xin Tao, this may be an opportunity to change her destiny, but it is also a gamble.
Even if Zhao Yuxuan is just a piece of shit now, Xin Tao will suppress the disgust in her heart, just because... this is her only way to have a good life.
She has deeply understood the hardships of life, and she is willing to give up everything to escape poverty and difficult circumstances.
Now that there was one less annoying guy in the house, and Jiang was taking care of her pregnancy, as long as she was careful not to let Wang come to cause trouble, her life would be much more relaxed and comfortable.
She can enjoy the tranquility and focus on her inner world.
However, her thoughts often drifted far away involuntarily, and she could not predict what changes the future would bring her.
"Miss, there's news from the Xue Mansion, asking you to get ready and go to the palace to meet His Majesty tomorrow." The maid outside the house hurried over to report.
