The old lady stared at Xiao Xuetang for a long time with her cloudy and harsh eyes, and her expression was distorted for a moment...

Xiao Xuetang's appearance was not much like the people in Yong'an Marquis Mansion. She looked completely like her mother, Xie. She was noble and beautiful, and at first glance, she looked like a rich flower who grew up surrounded by silk, gold and jade.

Young and beautiful, she captured everyone's attention as soon as she appeared. This was something that Old Madam Xiao had never had in her life...

She was born during the most prosperous period of the Zhang family and had a wealthy childhood, but her mother left her in the poor countryside to take care of her frail younger sister.

The country wind had roughened her skin, and the sun had prevented her complexion from ever becoming as fair and delicate as that of the noble ladies in Kyoto. The endless farm work had deformed the joints of her hands, and no matter how expensive the creams she used, she could not have a pair of delicate hands.

She was welcomed back to Kyoto at the age of eighteen, but the wealth of Kyoto made her feel ashamed!

Even if her mother wanted to make up for her, beautiful clothes and fashionable jewelry were sent to her room like water, and she hired the best teacher to teach her to read and write, and gave her the best of everything.

But what's the use?

Her best years were spent in poverty, which has developed her greedy and jealous character.

She was jealous of those beautiful women and those young and beautiful lives. Why were they carefully cared for and taken care of by the eldest son since they were born, while she, who was born into a noble family, could only grow up in the countryside?

What she envied and hated the most was her frail and sickly sister!

The culprit who caused the tragedy in her life...

Her younger sister, Xiao Zhang, was weak and sickly. Later, a high monk predicted that the Zhang family could not support her. Not long after, Xiao Zhang went missing at the Lantern Festival.

At that time, she thought this was retribution!

But what she didn't expect was that when they met again, they were both married, her parents had died of illness, and the Zhang family had fallen into decline.

And little Zhang remarried back to Kyoto as the young princess of the Prince's Mansion. She married the most prestigious family in Kyoto, the Xie family, and the brilliant young master of the Xie family!

Little Zhang seemed to have no memory of her origins. At that time, the Zhang family had already declined, and their parents died of illness due to missing their daughter. Only she recognized Little Zhang's identity based on a teardrop mole at the corner of her eye.

At that moment, she thought her peaceful life was once again in turmoil, and her life was burned by jealousy until the end of her life, and she would never stop until she died...

In an instant, the old lady stared at Xiao Xuetang in front of her, and what she saw was not her granddaughter, nor Xie, but... the culprit who caused her tragic fate back then, Xiao Zhang!

Yes……

Who could have thought that her eldest son would marry her younger sister, the daughter she hated most in her life.

Having lived together day and night for all these years, she seemed to see the shadow of the enemy who had ruined her life in Xie. She hated Xie so much that she wished Xie would die.

At that moment, a strange light burned in Madam Xiao's eyes. She looked at Xiao Xuetang and said, "You are very filial. Then you can do it yourself."

The old lady was looking forward to the scene where Xie was caught cheating by her own daughter, or even the mother and daughter turned against each other...

Under the sinister gaze of Old Madam Xiao and the gloating gaze of Ye Jin, Xiao Xuetang walked forward and slowly raised his hand.

Ye Jin's heart was beating like thunder at this moment, and he couldn't tell whether he was excited or some other emotion.

She didn't know what kind of punishment Xiao Xuetang would receive, but she knew that as long as Xiao Xuetang pushed open the door, Xie's stable life would be destroyed!

This was the only person who treated her well since she came to this world, but he was ruined because of her selfishness...

But, who can blame Xie for no longer being of any use to him?

After a struggle between his conscience and his desires, Ye Jin finally seemed to have made a decision, and a cold look flashed in his eyes.

Almost at the same time, Xiao Xuetang said, "Ye Jin, haven't you noticed yet that there is one person missing besides your mother..."

what?

Ye Jin was stunned, and before he could react, he saw Xiao Xuetang raised his hand and pushed the door open.

Everyone's eyes subconsciously stared at the door. There was an eerie silence all around. After a moment, Xiao Xuetang covered her mouth and said in disbelief, "Father, Madam Nan, how could you be together!"

In one sentence, earth-shattering!

"You, are you doing this to my mother?"

The people inside are...Marquis Yong'an and Madam Nan???

How can this be……

The crowd that came over to watch stretched their heads, wishing they could push Xiao Xuetang away and go in to see what was going on.

At this moment, Xiao Yi roared from the room: "Rebellious girl, who let you in?"

Then a teacup came flying towards him. Xiao Xuetang was quick to avoid it. The teacup fell on the stone steps and broke into pieces in an instant.

Xiao Yi walked out wearing only his inner clothes and with a murderous look on his face.

Xiao Xuetang was blocking the door. From Xiao Yi's perspective, he could only see Xiao Xuetang.

There was a flash of murderous intent in his eyes...

He wants to kill Xiao Xuetang!

……

Half an hour ago, Madam Nan invited Xiao Yi to the meditation room to talk. Xiao Yi knew it was about Ye Jin's matter.

People from the Inspection Office have started investigating the herbs at the border. They have already found their way to the Marquis' Mansion and will soon find out that it is Ye Jin. Xiao Yi must find a way to save Ye Jin.

In the past few days, after Xiao Yi's careful planning, he pushed out the deputy general who had been with him through thick and thin for many years to take the blame for Ye Jin. The matter was finally settled. He was about to tell Madam Nan the good news.

Mrs. Nan was naturally very grateful to him.

The two had not met in private for many years. Seeing Madam Nan's face and tears in her eyes as before brought back some long-lost memories for Xiao Yi.

In this hot and restless afternoon, in the quiet Zen room, the sound of cicadas outside is clear and disturbing.

When Madam Nan hooked her arm around him, Xiao Yi couldn't control himself for a moment...

He seemed to have returned to his youth, experiencing the passion and excitement that he had never experienced with his first wife.

A land of gentleness, a tomb for heroes...

There was a Buddha statue in the room, and through the lingering smoke and sandalwood, he seemed to catch a glimpse of the Buddha's compassionate eyes, watching him do that paradoxical thing.

but……

"I am willing to go to hell for you at this moment."

He was born into a wealthy family and had always followed the rules all his life...

He inherited the title, married and had children, but his life was like a stagnant pool!

It was only when he met Ye Nan that he felt his heart beating faster.

She was the red plum blossom on the iceberg, the flame in the ice, so unique that he was obsessed with her...

He forgot about human ethics and responsibilities, and could not even hear the sounds from the outside world. There was only the warmth and softness in his arms.

until...

He was awakened from his drunken dream only by the sound of Xiao Xuetang knocking on the door!

When this secret was discovered, Xiao Yi felt frightened belatedly and broke out in a cold sweat.

Then he looked at his own daughter with cold eyes and threatened: "If you dare to say one more word to anyone today, I will kill you and your mother!"
