After the eldest daughter was reborn, the whole family knelt down and begged for forgiveness

Xiao Yi was born into a noble family and achieved success at a young age. After being named the Crown Prince, he married a well-matched woman from the Xie family. It seemed that he had no regrets in his life.

Until I met Ye Nan...

At that time, he was ordered by his father to investigate the corruption in the flood control in Jiangnan, which implicated officials in Kyoto. He was hunted down and was rescued by Ye Nan who was disguised as a man.

The two were hunted down and escaped death several times, forming a deep friendship. During the days together in Jiangnan, Xiao Yi forgot that he was the son of a marquis, forgot his family responsibilities, forgot his wife and children at home, and only had this fiery woman in front of him. He felt that he had not been truly happy for more than 20 years.

They rode horses together, admired flowers and took a boat ride together, and talked about the past and present.

She was his confidant and lover. During that time, he almost forgot his duties and the millions of disaster victims in Jiangnan...

In his eyes, there was only Ye Nan.

The months in Jiangnan were the happiest months in his life. How he wanted to stay with Ye Nan forever in a paradise like Jiangnan...

It’s just a pity that fate plays tricks on us.

Xiao Yi returned to the study with some regret. When he saw Ye Nan in the study, he subconsciously asked in surprise, "Didn't you go to the manor? Why did you return to Kyoto? What if someone sees you?"

The incident of catching the adulterer in the Huguo Temple had made the two of them quite embarrassed. If it weren't for the fact that Emperor Yonghui was seriously ill and the princes under him were ready to take action to dilute the rumors, Xiao Yi would have dared not even go out during this period.

Madam Nan glanced at him with a pair of eyes that looked like sorrow and resentment, and said softly: "Xiao Lang, don't you want to see me?"

Facing Ye Nan's eyes that seemed to speak, Xiao Yi paused and hurriedly held Madam Nan's hand and said, "How could it be."

"If someone sees me, it will be bad for you and Jin'er."

Madam Nan then said, "Don't worry, I returned to Kyoto secretly, and no one knew."

Hearing this, Xiao Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief. He hugged Madam Nan in his arms and said, "I'm sorry for wronging you. If father hadn't been so determined to oppose us, why would you and Jin'er have been hiding for so many years? This time, Jin'er has returned to her ancestral home and has made an engagement with the Third Prince. This can be regarded as the fulfillment of our wishes."

Madam Nan was in Xiao Yi's arms. When she heard Xiao Yi mention what happened back then, a hint of coldness flashed across her beautiful eyes...

She has had many men in her life, but there is no doubt that Xiao Yi is the most special one to her, otherwise she would not be willing to give birth to a child for Xiao Yi.

But fate plays tricks on people. Madam Nan knows that she can't be with Xiao Yi openly because of her identity, but...

"Xiao Lang, I have already fulfilled my wish for Jin Er. There is one more thing I hope Xiao Lang can do for me."

Xiao Yi held the warm and soft jade in his arms, and asked calmly, "Whatever you want, I will agree to it..."

A sharp dagger was pressed against Xiao Yi's chest!

Xiao Yi's whole body froze. Looking at Madam Nan's beautiful face, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes. He said, "A Nan, what are you doing?"

Madam Nan's smile deepened. She withdrew the dagger that was against Xiao Yi's chest and said, "Don't be afraid, Xiao Lang. How could I bear to kill you? It's just..."

"Xiao Lang, do you think it's time for them to pay me back for what the Xie family mother and daughter owed me?"

Xiao Yi frowned slightly, and said after a moment: "Ms. Xie is ill now. The doctor said that she will not live long."

When Xiao Yi mentioned Xie, his tone was indifferent. It didn't seem like he was talking about his first wife, but as if he was talking about an unimportant person.

Madam Nan was still not satisfied and asked aggressively, "But what about Xiao Xuetang? As long as she is here, Jin'er's identity and her engagement will be laughed at. Only... Xiao Xuetang will disappear forever!"

……

A cool breeze blew in the middle of the night, and the door rustled in the wind. The weather suddenly changed, and a strong wind blew in the middle of the night with lightning and thunder.

The wind blew through the window, making the bed curtains ripple, and the cool air seeped in instantly. Xiao Xuetang shivered, not knowing what she was dreaming about.

She sat up with a thud, and finally opened her tightly closed eyes, escaping from the nightmare. However, her face was pale and her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

Deserted courtyard, cramped secret room...

Secret room, she dreamed of the secret room where she was burned to death in her previous life!

last night……

She and Lin Xun followed Xiao Yi to an abandoned courtyard. In that courtyard was the secret room where she had returned from visiting her parents as the queen in her previous life, and was imprisoned and burned to death by Ye Jin!

There is a person imprisoned there...

Xiao Yi called him...Uncle Zhong.

"Miss, you are finally awake. The old lady has sent people to ask twice."

Bihen pushed the door open and replied.

Hearing the old lady's name, Xiao Xuetang sneered, hiding the complexity in his eyes, and said, "Help me wash up first..."

After a heavy rain, the sky cleared up and the entire front yard of the mansion became busy.

Today is the auspicious day of Ye Jin's family recognition banquet. The old lady has said that the banquet will be held at the Ouxiang Pavilion in the Marquis' Mansion.

Ouxiang Pavilion is built by the water, with carved railings and painted pillars. It is both elegant and cool. Since the morning, distinguished guests have come to congratulate the Xiao family's newly returned fourth young lady, the future prince's consort.

The Marquis's Mansion was crowded with guests, making a lot of noise that was annoying.

In the morning, Xiao Yunni thought that Xiao Xuetang would not attend Ye Jin's family recognition banquet, so she came over early and prepared to go shopping with Xiao Xuetang.

"It's a great day for the family reunion banquet. If we don't attend, wouldn't it be disrespectful if it gets out?"

Xiao Yunni looked at Xiao Xuetang deeply and said, "I don't know your personality well. You have never cared about other people's opinions. You obviously don't like Ye Jin, but you want to attend the banquet today... Tell me honestly, is there anything exciting to watch today?"

Xiao Xuetang raised her eyebrows slightly, and a subtle smile flashed in her eyes.

Just as he was about to answer, the voice of Qin'er, the maidservant beside Aunt Liu, came from outside: "Is the eldest lady awake? The old lady said that there are many guests coming today, and asked the eldest lady to help greet the guests in the front yard..."

Xiao Yunni frowned slightly and said, "Grandmother is now biased towards Ye Jin. Will you suffer a loss if you go there?"

Xiao Xuetang said to Xiao Yunni, "If we refuse now, who knows what excuses they will come up with later. It's better to go along with them and have a look."

Hearing this, Xiao Yunni said with some worry: "I'll go with you!"

……

By the time the two of them went to the front yard, most of the guests had already arrived. Before they even arrived, they heard cheers from the garden!

The maid who led the way saw Xiao Xuetang and Xiao Yunni stop and explained, "Today is a big day for our family. The old lady sent someone to invite a troupe of actors from outside. The old lady said that she was tired of listening to literary plays, so the troupe arranged a variety show."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuetang and Xiao Yunni looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man and a woman standing on the stage. They were dressed elegantly and handsomely, without any of the slickness of street performers.

They first performed a magic trick of an immortal picking beans, and then they did a magic trick of turning water into wine. Both of these were interesting and elegant, and were popular among wealthy families. They were presentable and looked new to the ladies.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the magic stage, but Ye Jin looked over immediately, stood up and said, "Sister, I thought you were angry today and wouldn't come over."

As soon as Ye Jin finished speaking, everyone's attention was instantly drawn to Xiao Xuetang...
