The legitimate daughter is reborn, her life is still with her

In the next few days, Zhou Jiaqing still took a carriage to Pinghu Academy alone. He did not go with Zhou Jiayun and Qin Xingyue, and had no contact with them when he returned home. It seemed that he deliberately alienated them.

Qin Xingyue can tolerate it, but Zhou Jiayun has a faint look of anger on her face. After all, she is young and doesn't know how to tolerate it.

At first they thought it was out of anger, but gradually even the old lady and Marquis Jing'an realized something was wrong. They were so good friends in the past, but now they suddenly have nothing to say.

In the early morning of this day, when I was paying my respects to the old lady, Marquis Jing'an came to Ronghua Residence as soon as he came to the palace. He said that the emperor had ordered a palace banquet to be held on April 10th, and that all officials of third rank or above could go.

During this palace banquet, not only were the legitimate sons of the Prime Minister's Mansion rewarded for their merits in disaster relief, but the top three in the Pinghu Academy examination were also rewarded.

Regardless of status, as long as you enter the top three, you can meet the emperor and receive the emperor's personal reward in person. How proud it must be!

Needless to say, the students at Pinghu Academy must have worked hard for this exam.

Zhou Jiaqing secretly thought to himself that Ji Chengxi was very efficient and could change the Sacred Heart in less than three days. It seemed that even though that person did not participate in government affairs, he still held a high weight in the emperor's mind.

That person was Xu Jingxiao, Ji Chengfeng's good friend who offended the Prime Minister's Mansion for Ji Chengfeng in the previous life.

This is just the first step of Zhou Jiaqing's plan, to distract everyone's attention, reward many people, and reward many things, so that everyone's eyes are not only focused on Ji Chengfeng.

At present, there is nothing else worthy of reward except to propose an examination.

After the Marquis of Jing'an conveyed his decree, he encouraged the juniors and tried to get into the top three in the exam. Suddenly he saw his daughter's listless look. She must be worried that she would be at the bottom again.

He doesn't care much about this. If he reads well, like his eldest daughter Zhou Jianing, he is very proud and happy. But if he doesn't read well, he doesn't feel ashamed. Everyone has their own strengths.

Marquis Jing'an stepped forward and said with concern: "Qing'er, are you worried about the exam? It's okay. As a father, I only want you to be happy. Ranking or anything else doesn't matter."

Hearing this, Qin Xingyue's eyes flashed with slight jealousy, and she slowly lowered her head to hide the emotion in her eyes.

"No, Dad. Qing'er has been feeling a little tired these past few days and can't cheer up."

Hearing what his daughter said, it happened that Dr. Zhang was staying in the Hou Mansion recently to help with the old lady's health. The Marquis of Jingan directly asked the maid to invite the doctor to Ronghua Residence.

"Back to Mr. Marquis, the second lady fell into the water last time and went out to catch a wind before her body recovered." Doctor Zhang was writing a prescription in his hand as he spoke.

After a while, he handed the written prescription to Marquis Jing'an: "Master Hou, take the medicine according to the prescription for a few days, rest and take good care of yourself, and you will be cured. Otherwise, the root cause of the disease will be left."

Hearing that the root cause of the disease was revealed, Marquis Jing'an had no time to look at the second bedroom's account books at the moment, so he quickly told his daughter to rest well these days and not go to the academy.

Mrs. Zhou took a closer look and found that Zhou Jiaqing had indeed looked sick recently. After everyone dispersed, she warned Li Yaxuan not to do anything random at this time. Marquis Jing'an was still in the mansion, and she had been a loving mother for decades. , don’t make it difficult for her.

Li Yaxuan lied that she didn't know what the old lady said.

From that day on, Aunt Zhao also began to show how much she cared for Zhou Jiaqing. She had to take care of all the food and clothing herself and never took advantage of others.

Chuntao and the four of them had other things to be busy with, so they simply let it go.

Aunt Zhao became even more proud. She disliked those four maids very much and were always on guard against her. Now that they were not hanging around in front of the young lady, she felt relaxed both physically and mentally.

But she gradually realized that as long as she didn't mention the fourth prince, the second young lady would still treat her as before, so she didn't mention it for the time being.

The day went by very quickly as she worked hard beside the second young lady. After serving the second young lady to rest, Nanny Zhao could finally rest. After a while, she heard the sound of heavy breathing.

After a while, everything in the courtyard was completely silent, and the night spread in all directions. The house was completely dark, except for the faint candlelight swaying in the wind in the woodshed in the distance, which was eerie and terrifying.

Zhou Jiaqing got up and went to the woodshed. He heard from Xia He that he couldn't stand the torture and wanted to see her.

Seeing the limbless mulberry picking on the ground, her expression suddenly darkened. Remembering that she was tortured like this in her previous life, a layer of pain filled her eyes.

Suddenly, when she opened her eyes again, her eyes were covered with a layer of coldness, and she focused her gaze on the worn limbs.

"Zhou Jiaqing, I have no grievances against you. You made me look like this, you bitch, ah..." Caisang lay on the ground and couldn't see Zhou Jiaqing's expression clearly, and struggled desperately to crawl to Zhou Jiaqing's feet. Her eyes were blood red, and if her limbs were still intact, she would have almost pounced on Zhou Jiaqing and chewed him up.

"How dare you call the lady by her name." Chuntao kicked Cai Mulberry in disgust. She always kept the lady's words in mind. Today, if Cai Mulberry was not like this, it would be like her. When she thought of the young lady being tortured like this, she felt... The unknown fire is even worse.

"No injustice, no hatred?" Zhou Jiaqing repeated, laughing softly: "How could it be possible? You are my enemy."

"Isn't it because I offended you, Zhou Jiaqing, that you did this to me?" Cai Sang said angrily and hatefully.

"It's really pitiful. I thought you had figured it out and would answer my questions well. It seems you just want to vent your anger." Zhou Jiaqing sneered and turned to leave.

"do not go……"

"I said okay."

"Zhou Jiaqing, don't you just want to know who I am? Let me tell you, I won't survive anyway. When you know the answer..." "You will live in fear every day... The thought of you being so scared that you can't sleep, I’m on tenterhooks all day long...I’m happy..."

"Haha...I am..."

"Xiyun Kingdom." Zhou Jiaqing said leisurely.

"You..." Cai Sang froze on the spot for a moment, unable to close his open mouth.

"Not only do I know who you are, but I also know why you chose to be by my side and what you are going to do. I know all of this. I am just innocent..."

"It's as simple as just wanting to torture you."

Zhou Jiaqing looked down at the mulberry picker and said disdainfully.

"You're not Zhou Jiaqing, who on earth are you?" Cai Sang's expression suddenly changed. He didn't care about the pain in his stump or his hatred for Zhou Jiaqing. He stared at her with wide eyes and cried out. road.

Zhou Jiaqing squatted in front of the mulberry picker, admiring the mulberry picker's embarrassment, and said in a voice that only she and she could hear: "I am here to take your life. Before, you said not to cut off my limbs directly. That's boring, you have to grind it off bit by bit to be pleasing to the eye, do you remember? When I was grinding off my limbs, you were sitting next to me holding a teacup and pointing, do you still remember all this?"
