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

There was a biting cold wind in the mountains. At this moment, looking at the bandits surrounding them, Xiao Xuetang was extremely sober.

The good news is that she was reborn, but the bad news is that she was reborn just when she was coming back from Huguo Temple and encountered bandits.

In their previous life, they encountered bandits and the two of them, master and servant, mistakenly entered the mountains in order to escape. They did not return for the whole night, thus their reputation was tarnished and they became a laughing stock in Kyoto.

She had lived a polite and law-abiding life for sixteen years, but her reputation was destroyed in one day.

The ridicule of the servants, the sneer of her sisters, and the disappointed looks of her parents are all as vivid as if she could remember them all. This incident was the beginning of her tragic life.

Now she was reborn, neither before nor after she met the bandits...

The driver had never seen such a scene before, so he left Xiao Xuetang and the others behind and ran away without a trace. Only the two maids who followed Xiao Xuetang were left trembling in fear, but they still stood in front of Xiao Xuetang dutifully...

"Miss, I, I, hold them back, you...you run!"

Xiao Xuetang, who was originally extremely horrified, looked at the two maids standing in front of her and her eyes became slightly hot.

In the previous life, when Xiao Xuetang was coming back from the Huguo Temple, he encountered bandits on the way, and it was because they risked their lives to protect him that he was able to escape.

These two loyal maids protected her and saved her from danger time and time again, and finally died for her!

"Qiyue, Bihen, please move aside..."

Xiao Xuetang's calm voice made the two of them look stunned.

Her voice was cold, but carried an unquestionable power, and the two of them couldn't help but step aside a few steps.

The weak and slender figure stood in front of the person she wanted to protect for the first time!

Xiao Xuetang, dressed in green, looked calmly at the men in black who surrounded them, her clear eyes sweeping over them.

There were about seven or eight people in front. They were masked and holding knives in their hands. They were dressed like bandits, but they were not wearing riding boots, but tattered straw sandals.

Perhaps it was because Xiao Xuetang looked too calm, or because the bandits were intimidated by her aura, they felt a little uneasy.

Aren’t they said that noble women are as timid as mice? How come they were so calm when encountering bandits?

The knife in his hand was shaking slightly, and he lowered his voice and said, "You... don't move, or I will kill you!"

Xiao Xuetang said calmly: "I am the eldest daughter of the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion, and my father is a great hero who just quelled the Cangjing Rebellion. If you kill me, it will be a crime of confiscating my family and exterminating my entire clan!"

Hearing the word "house raiding", the bandit who had spoken the threat shuddered.

Xiao Xuetang confirmed his guess and said, "You are not bandits, but refugees from the mountains."

As soon as he finished speaking, a knife was placed on Xiao Xuetang's neck. It was the man with the fierce eyes!

"Miss!"

Qiyue and Bihen cried out in unison. Xiao Xuetang said calmly, "I know you are forced to do this because of your livelihood, and I have no intention of hurting anyone. If you let me go today, I will give you a hundred gold coins, and I will pretend that nothing happened today."

"Heh..." The man holding her hostage was obviously not a simple person. He actually knew her identity. He sneered and said in an ambiguous tone: "Miss Xiao, you are right. We only want money, but now that you have recognized our identities, I can't keep you."

Xiao Xuetang met the man's vicious eyes. Although she looked calm, her tone quickened a bit as she said, "Even if you kill me, are you sure the person behind the scenes who bribed you will let you go?"

"Not only you, but also every old, young, woman and child in your village will be implicated and killed by you!"

"Only by letting me go can you survive."

Xiao Xuetang is not a threat, but it was indeed the case in the previous life.

These refugees were bribed with ten taels of silver to disguise themselves as bandits and robbed Xiao Xuetang and his three servants on the road. They only wanted to buy rice with the ten taels of silver from the person behind the scenes and had no intention of harming them.

At that time, Xiao Xuetang, a young girl in the boudoir, was so frightened when she saw such a scene that she hid in the mountains for a night. Later, she was found by a servant of the Marquis's mansion and brought back to the mansion. Somehow, the next day, the news spread throughout Kyoto that the eldest daughter of the Xiao family had been kidnapped by mountain bandits and disappeared for a night.

That's when her reputation was gone.

Later, when the Xie family learned about this, they wanted to investigate, but they found that the refugees who disguised themselves as bandits were actually the ones who were massacred in the entire village.

Living a new life, Xiao Xuetang is unwilling to repeat the mistakes of her past life, so she is betting on whether she can escape safely!

The man holding the knife looked a little relieved, but still had some reservations.

Xiao Xuetang finally prescribed a strong medicine: "I have medicine that can save the people in your village..."

The chaos in our dynasty has just been settled, and we are still in the process of recuperation. There have been countless natural and man-made disasters over the years.

After the summer, the plague raged and the prices of medicinal materials in Kyoto were maliciously raised. The noble families were not affected at all, but the villagers near Kyoto felt sorry for them.

A lot of people died from the plague at that time, and even an entire village was wiped out, and it later became a ghost village.

Therefore, the silencing of the people in Zhushui Village did not attract the attention of the government at that time.

After living a new life, Xiao Xuetang is no longer the daughter of a wealthy family who is ignorant of the sufferings of the common people. She understands the preciousness of life.

If there was a chance, she wanted to do her best to save some people.

Finally, the man took back the knife, but still looked at Xiao Xuetang with distrust and said, "If you are lying..."

Xiao Xuetang handed the earring to the man and said calmly: "This is something I carry with me. You can take it to Kyoto Caotang to get the medicine."

Xiao Xuetang has been tortured by Old Madam Xiao in the Xiao family over the years and has not had an easy life.

Fortunately, the imperial concubine left a lot of things to the Xiao family, including some shops, which were doing quite well.

But after Ye Jin returned to Kyoto, all those shops were given to Ye Jin by her mother Xie for various reasons.

It is said that Ye Jin is better at business than her...

Yes, Ye Jin is indeed good at business. During this plague in Kyoto, the price of medicine in Kyoto was maliciously raised, and the people had no medicine to treat it. This was all Ye Jin's work!

Ye Jin is not only resourceful but also good at winning people's hearts. Many young talents in Kyoto are her slaves.

Even though she was far away in Jingzhou, she had planted forces in Kyoto. The increase in drug prices in Kyoto and the attack on Xiao Xuetang on the way back to the city were all her doing!

However, Ye Jin did not expect that the people under her were incompetent and reluctant to spend money to bribe the vicious criminals. She only spent a few taels of silver to bribe the refugees living in the mountains, giving her a glimmer of hope.

……

In the afterglow of the setting sun, several exquisite carriages were running smoothly on the official road.

In the carriage, a beautiful girl was looking at the account book.

"In the fifth year of Yonghui, there was chaos on the border and plague raged in Kyoto... This time, I made a lot of money from reselling herbs and wound medicines in the pharmacy!"

Ye Jin never expected that the little historical knowledge she had learned in the past would become the foundation of her existence in this dynasty.

Another older waitress said, "Miss, you had the foresight to buy out all the herbs in advance. I saw that many people died along the way from Jingzhou to Kyoto. There were many corpses on the road. They were all dead refugees."

Speaking of this, I feel a bit scared...

Ye Jin said calmly: "Survival of the fittest, this is their fate!"

The waitress opened her mouth and looked at Ye Jin with a strange expression...

This Miss Jin obviously forgot that before being taken in by the Marquis, she was also one of the so-called lowly refugees!

After the carriage entered the city gate, the gate slowly closed.

There is no curfew in Kyoto, but the streets are very busy.

It is a prosperous country, a family of scholars and scholars, and a place where power and prosperity are concentrated in the world.

A faint light flashed in Ye Jin's eyes...

"Miss Jin, we have arrived at the Marquis' Mansion."

Ye Jin put down the letter in his hand, which contained the news about Yong'an Marquis Mansion, and got off the carriage with an innocent and sweet smile on his face...

The next moment, a woman stepped down from the carriage in front and said in a gentle and loving voice, "Jin'er, we are home..."

Ye Jin closed the account book and saw that a few pages of paper had fallen out.

It contained information about the Yong'an Marquisate in Kyoto, with Xiao Xuetang's name written at the very top.

The eldest daughter of the Xiao family, sixteen years old, weak and sickly, with a cowardly character. She is a childhood sweetheart of the third prince Lin Changshu and is engaged to him.

It should be her!

According to historical records, Empress Xiao and Emperor Zhaohui lived together for their entire lives and went down in history...

And she has been planning for many years to replace it!
