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

"The Third Prince still hasn't seen you?"

Ye Jin tilted his head and asked Qiao Niang beside him.

Qiao Niang has not had Ye Jin's protection these days. She was used to being arrogant and domineering in the Marquis' Mansion and offended many people. She has suffered a lot these days and has lost a lot of weight. Her face looks even more mean.

But Xiao Xuetang had detained all of Ye Jin's men, openly or secretly. Now in this huge marquis' mansion, Qiao Niang was the only person available to Ye Jin.

Qiao Niang frowned, shook her head gently, and said, "Miss, what should I do?"

Now that the Marquis of Yong'an has been exiled, the second and third branches of the Xiao family have separated, leaving only the Marquis's mansion as an empty house. Ye Jin doesn't want to stay there for long.

Ye Jin knew what Lin Shaoshu was thinking. He just wanted to give her the cold shoulder, but...

"Oh, Lin Shaoshu refuses to acknowledge me, but we still have the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother cares so much about this child, she will definitely force Lin Shaoshu to marry me!"

"As long as we have this amulet, everything still has a chance."

Ye Jin said this very confidently.

Little did they know that the Queen Mother only wanted the child in her belly...

Emperor Yonghui was a little confused and said, "Haven't I already granted him a marriage?"

Moreover, it seems that Lin Shaoshu is serious about Ye Jin. In order to release Ye Jin, he even asked the empress dowager, who has always been indifferent to worldly affairs, for help.

Emperor Yonghui did not know about the deal between Lin Shaoshu and Ye Jin. He just thought that it was rare for the royal family to have someone as infatuated as Lin Shaoshu. Seeing him reminded Emperor Yonghui of himself in the past.

The Queen Mother said quietly, "Ye Jin is a criminal, and it is her good fortune to be Shao Shu's concubine. The Crown Princess is a descendant of the Cui family of Qinghe. When it comes to Shao Shu, will the Emperor favor one over the other? If the late Emperor were still alive, he would definitely not do so."

What Emperor Yonghui hated the most was the Queen Mother's accusations, which made him feel that everything was his fault. Especially when the Queen Mother always compared him with the previous emperor, Emperor Yonghui always felt that he was not as good as the previous emperor and had failed everyone's expectations...

So when Emperor Yonghui heard the empress dowager say this, he immediately said, "I will ask the Ministry of Rites to screen the list of women from aristocratic families waiting to be married, and select a famous lady to choose a princess for Shao Shu. It will be a perfect time for double happiness!"

The gloomy empress dowager finally smiled with satisfaction and said, "The emperor is fair and decisive in his actions, which is quite in line with the style of the previous emperor."

……

After the court session that day, Emperor Yonghui called Lin Xun to discuss with him the title to be given to Lin Shaoshu.

In the words of Emperor Yonghui, since he is already planning to get married, the Regent should be almost recovered from his illness, so he can come back to court!

Therefore, Lin Xun's short leave for recuperation ended. In the past few days, he was ordered by Emperor Yonghui to do several errands, which made Lin Xun begin to doubt whether Emperor Yonghui was taking revenge on him.

Lin Xun received the news yesterday and knew that Emperor Yonghui had been sitting in Jiashou Palace for half a day. It was not surprising to hear today that Emperor Yonghui wanted to personally select a title for Lin Shaoshu and a concubine.

Emperor Yonghui could not see the favoritism and extra care that the woman in Jiashou Palace had for Lin Shaoshu, but Lin Xun saw it clearly.

In these years, Lin Shaoshu, a prince who had no support from his maternal family and was deliberately neglected by Emperor Yonghui, was able to compete with the Eastern Palace and even made the Eastern Palace a little afraid. Lin Xun knew in his heart that the person in Jiashou Palace had supported him a lot.

It was only a matter of time before Lin Shaoshu was crowned king. After all, the rules were there. The most important thing was Lin Shaoshu's marriage...

The Queen Mother has given up on the Xie family, so the ones she is targeting are none other than the four prominent families outside Kyoto, which will give Lin Shaoshu an extra bargaining chip.

Lin Xun sneered in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He said, "I remember that the King of Yue has never been married. Since you want to choose a concubine for the third prince, Your Majesty should treat everyone equally and arrange the marriage for the King of Yue as well."

Emperor Yonghui finally reacted and said, "Shao Jin is just like his mother, he doesn't fight for anything in the palace. If you hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten about it. Besides, Shao Jin is the elder brother, so let Shao Jin choose first in this selection of concubines."

"A-choo!" Lin Shaojin, who was visiting Xiao Yu at Yong'an Marquis's Mansion at the moment, had no idea that he had been tricked. He only felt a chill on his back.

However, he came to Yong'an Marquis Mansion to find an empty house. Xiao Yi was not at the mansion today, but went to Xie's house!

……

In front of Xie's house...

Xiao Xuetang got off the carriage and looked at the white lanterns hanging at the door of the familiar mansion, her eyes slightly warmed.

She should have wanted to return to the Xie family eagerly, which was an extremely safe haven for the young Xiao Xuetang.

But in the dream, it was because of her that the entire Xie family was killed!

In her dream, she personally raided the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, and she had no regrets; but unfortunately, because of her, the century-old reputation of the Xie family was destroyed in one day, and the entire family was beheaded at the Meridian Gate.

Even though she knew it was just a dream, it felt so real that she didn't know how to face her grandfather's family who once loved her.

Just as she was standing at the door with mixed feelings, the tightly closed door suddenly opened and she was unable to dodge.

At the door, a familiar face said, "Since you're here, why don't you come in?"

When I turned around, it was Xiao Yu!

In just a few dozen days, Xiao Yu looked much more haggard. Xiao Xuetang looked at his slightly bloodshot eyes and felt her throat tighten...

"Brother."

She called Xiao Yu in a low voice, not daring to look into his eyes again.

In her dream, she almost killed Xiao Yu with her own hands. She tortured Xiao Yu severely. No wonder... Xiao Yu hated her so much at first after he came back from Jingzhou.

At this time, Xiao Xuetang had already figured it out. The memories of her and Xiao Yunni were from their past lives, while the memories of Xiao Yu and Foshu... and Mu Xingyun were from the world in their "dream".

Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Xuetang's thin and haggard appearance, pursed his lips, as if waiting for her to say something.

What should she say? Should she say it was all her fault and that she killed her mother?

Or maybe she didn't intend to kill the Xie family and her mother in her dream...

But in her previous life and in her dream, Xie died because of her.

At this moment, Xiao Xuetang's heart was in a mess. The memories and emotions of her past life, present life and dreams were intertwined. No matter how calm and decisive she was in her daily life, she didn't know how to face Xiao Yu's accusations at this moment.

"What are you two doing standing at the door? Come in!"

The voice of my aunt, Mrs. Xie, broke the eerie silence.

Madam Xie was still the same as before, holding a four or five-year-old child holding a Cuju in her hand. The child hid behind Madam Xie, staring at Xiao Xuetang with a pair of big black and white eyes...

Madam Xie was born in a military family and was very protective of her subordinates. She slapped Xiao Yu in the face and said unhappily, "Tangtang is in good health, and you let her stand at the door and blow the cold wind?"

Xiao Yu was brought back to his senses by a slap in the face, and then he remembered to let Xiao Xuetang in.

Xiao Xuetang entered the courtyard. In the main courtyard was the small mourning hall for Xie...

The memory of that night came flooding back. Xiao Xuetang's mind flashed with the image of Xie risking her life to block the knife for her. Her throat choked and she had to hold back the tears.

"Cry if you want to."

It was Xiao Yu!

Xiao Xuetang was surprised to find that under Xiao Yu's calm and tired eyes, there was concern and worry...

The tears that had been suppressed all the way finally couldn't be held back, she hugged Xiao Yu and burst into tears!

At this time, Lin Xun came to the Xie family in a hurry without changing his court clothes after leaving the court. Looking at the little girl crying while hugging her brother, his expression was a little subtle...
