In the rebirth, the abandoned wife of a noble family turned black

"Thank you, madam." He Kui's tone became more respectful and even a little excited.

He was originally a scholar, but because his parents were seriously ill and had no other way out, he sold himself to Zhuangzi to work as an accountant.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ruan Xi would appreciate her and ask him to leave Zhuangzi and come to Kyoto to manage her property.

He warned himself silently.

From now on, she will definitely follow Jiang Ruan Xi's lead and help her manage her property to repay her kindness.

"Thank you very much. What I need is not just words."

He Kui understood immediately and hurriedly knelt down, "If you have any instructions, madam, just ask."

Jiang Ruanxi was not polite, "I have a medicine shop in Kyoto. The shopkeeper there just stopped working. You can go over and help me take care of it."

Given the opportunity to come to Kyoto and no longer live in poverty in Zhuangzi, He Kui knelt down excitedly and promised, "Thank you, Madam, for your appreciation. I will definitely do my best to run the medicine shop for Madam."

"Get up, I believe in your ability." Jiang Ruanxi put down the porcelain cup of tea, "One more thing, no matter how much it costs, go and buy me the Ganoderma lucidum and Gastrodia elata within ten miles of Kyoto, and hoard them all."

"Yes, ma'am."

Although he was curious, he didn't ask any more questions and just followed the instructions.

Jiang Ruanxi was very happy about this.

After He Kui left, although Hongye didn't know why Jiang Ruan Xi was hoarding these things, she believed in He Kui unconditionally, with a worried look on her face.

"Madam, He Kui just came from Zhuangzi. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for you to ask him to handle such a big thing?"

"Don't worry, He Kui is a man who knows how to repay his kindness. For the sake of his mother and sister, he will never betray me. Besides, don't doubt those who are suspicious, and those who employ are not suspicious."

Just as Hongye was about to say something, the maid's voice came from outside, "Madam, Mrs. Yongyi Houfu is here."

Jiang Ruanxi was stunned for a moment, his eyebrows slightly cold.

"Since it's my mother who's here, why don't you invite her in quickly."

If I remember correctly, this is the first time her mother, Webster, has come to the Lin family after she got married, right?

Thinking about Lin Ningkun getting angry last night, Webster came to visit today.

She seemed to have guessed the purpose of Webster's visit, and she sneered in her heart.

It seems that Jiang Xuerou's charm is really great. Less than a day after returning to Zhenguo Hou's Mansion, Lin Ning was so angry that she threw a cup and got angry. Now, Wei Shi, who never comes to visit, is invited to Ding Ninghou's Mansion.

"Mother."

After Wei Shi came in, Jiang Ruanxi called out lightly.

Even though Webster was in her thirties, she didn't look any older at all. Coupled with her beauty, she still looked like a woman in her early twenties, while Jiang Ruan Xi's appearance mostly followed hers.

Wei Shi said calmly, "It's been several years since you were married to Dingninghou Mansion, right?"

In Jiang Ruan Xi's impression, Wei Shi always had a straight face and was unsmiling.

She thought her mother was born with a cold temperament, so she didn't take her seriously in her previous life and just tried her best to please her.

But after seeing her attitude towards Jiang Xuerou, she realized that Wei Shi was just like Lin Ningkun. It wasn't that she couldn't smile, she just couldn't smile to herself.

"Mom, it's been five years."

He doesn't even know how many years his biological daughter has been married. It seems that he really doesn't take her to heart.

Jiang Ruanxi suppressed the ripples in her heart. Didn't she know these things as early as her previous life?

In this life, in her heart, there is no family affection, only hatred.

"It's been five years and you haven't given birth to a son and a half daughter for the Lin family. Don't you feel guilty in your heart?"

Jiang Ruanxi held his breath, just thinking it was ridiculous.

What does it mean that she didn't give birth to a son and a half daughters for the Lin family?

Lin Ningkun went out to take office on the day of his wedding. Others didn't know it. Could it be that his mother didn't know it either?

Looking at her silence, Webster thought she was ashamed.

"It's not what my mother said to you. As a woman, you have to be more generous. You have been married to the Lin family for so many years and you have no children. Now it is human nature for the Marquis to want to adopt a child. It is mother's wish that you and the Marquis live in harmony. Saw it.”

It turned out that the purpose of coming here today was to get her to agree to adopt Lin Xiao. It seemed that Wei's words were all for her own good, but the events of her previous life kept replaying in Jiang Ruanxi's mind.

She really lacked love and wanted to integrate into the Jiang family so much that no matter what Webster told her, she believed it to be true.

Even though he knew it was not his fault, he still felt that he was not good enough, so he went out of his way to please the Jiang family and the Lin family, just hoping that they would show a smile to him.

But the result?

She had been trying to please her all her life, but she got nothing. On the contrary, she was still superfluous.

Since she has a chance to be reborn in this life, she will not let her previous life repeat itself.

"Mom, the matter of adopting a child is the Lin family's business. The elders of the Lin family will naturally worry about these things." Jiang Ruanxi suppressed the ridicule in his heart and said calmly, "I can't do this alone. Decide."

Wei Shi was stunned, not expecting Jiang Ruan Xi to dare to talk back, and frowned.

"You kid, don't you understand what the Marquis is thinking? He wants to repay his kindness to his best friend. If you can solve his problem, your relationship can be eased, right?"

Jiang Ruan Xi no longer followed her words as he did in the previous life.

"Mother, my relationship with Mr. Hou is my own business. Whether it is good or not depends not on me, but on Mr. Hou."

She originally came with a bit of disdain, thinking that Jiang Ruan Xi was more eager for her approval. She thought that as long as she persuaded her with a few words and played the family card, she would be obedient.

Just like when he brought her back, she was so moved when she was just a little nicer to Jiang Ruan Xi.

Moreover, when she first married her to Lin Ningkun, Jiang Ruanxi only gave her a bowl of bird's nests, and she agreed.

But now, she has condescended to show her kindness to Jiang Ruan Xi, but Jiang Ruan Xi is not as submissive as before.

Webster was inevitably unhappy, "You kid, how can you say such nonsense? This woman is married to her husband. If you want your life to be comfortable, you have to please your husband. Mother doesn't have any other intentions. It’s all for your own good.”

Jiang Ruanxi sneered in her heart, not for her own good, but for Jiang Xuerou's sake.

Jiang Ruanxi picked up the porcelain tea cup and took a sip of tea, suppressing the sarcasm in his eyes.

After putting down the teacup, Jiang Ruanxi said with a serious face.

"Mother, there are many ways to please Mr. Hou, and it doesn't necessarily mean adopting a child. Moreover, even if you want to adopt a child, you don't necessarily have to adopt Brother Xiao. Mr. Hou is busy with promotion now, so at this time, It depends on the connections within the clan. So, if I want to adopt a child, it would be better to adopt a child from the Lin family."
