Reborn to be married, the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion is so sweet

Ming Mo went forward and knocked on the door. After a while, he heard footsteps and the door was opened a crack. The little maid named Zhu'er saw Ming Mo's face through the crack and smiled as she opened the door and said, "Brother Ming Mo, why are you here? Did the prince send something to our young lady again?"

When Ming Mo heard this, he thought of the Madam and Young Madam standing behind him, and instantly broke out in a cold sweat. He seemed to hear Xiao's cold snort.

He pushed her away with all his might, then turned sideways and bowed to Xiao, saying, "Madam."

Zhu'er then noticed that there were quite a few people standing outside the door. Seeing the woman in the lead looking at her unfriendly, she screamed, turned around and ran into the house.

Seeing that she was so scared as if she had seen a ferocious beast, Lin Wan couldn't help but want to laugh.

Xiao snorted coldly: "No rules!"

After saying that, he walked into the door. As soon as he entered, he found that this inconspicuous courtyard had a different world. Although the courtyard was not big, it was decorated very elegantly. The rockery in the flower bed was exquisite and stylish, and there was a red plum tree that was about to bloom. There was also a pond, stone tables and stone chairs, etc. They were all small and exquisite. There was also a swing in the northwest corner, wrapped with thin vines, which made the courtyard more lively and elegant.

Lin Wan looked on coldly. The decorations of all sizes in the yard cost a lot. Lu Tingxu was really generous to this childhood sweetheart!

Just as Lin Wan and Xiao entered the house, Zhu'er had already arrived in front of the main house and shouted nervously, "Miss, Marquis... Madam, someone is coming to the Marquis's Mansion."

At this time, Ye Shiyue was leisurely leaning on the bed, playing with a jade pendant with a Ruyi pattern that Lu Tingxu had given her. When she heard Zhu'er's cry, she was so scared that her hand trembled, and the jade pendant fell to the ground and broke into two pieces with a snap.

Without bothering to pick it up, Ye Shiyue hurriedly stood up, tidied his appearance, and prepared to go out to greet them, when he saw Xiao, Lin Wan and others enter the house.

"Uncle...Aunt." Ye Shiyue concealed the panic on her face and forced a stiff smile.

Lin Wan stood behind Xiao. For the first time in her two lives, she saw the woman that Lu Tingxu had been obsessed with, the woman who had made Lin Fu live in resentment all her life.

As the saying goes, if you want to be pretty, you have to wear mourning clothes. Ye Shiyue was wearing a moon-white dress, with two white jade hairpins on her head, and the jingling jade bracelets on her hands jingled when she raised her hands. She had a simple makeup and looked at the visitor with tears in her eyes. She might be sad about Lu Tingxu's marriage, so she looked a little unwell, but it was undeniable that she was a delicate beauty.

I sighed in my heart: "What a lovely little white flower!"

People feel pity and distress at first sight. Even she, a woman, has this feeling, let alone a macho like Lu Tingxu.

Of course, this pitiful look did not please Xiao. Hearing Ye Shiyue's voice, Xiao looked at her coldly, walked into the house without saying a word, and sat down at the table by herself.

Lin Wan and several maids followed closely behind, passing Ye Shiyue and entering the house.

Such disregard made Ye Shiyue's face paler. She clenched her fists tightly and suppressed the emotions in her eyes. When she looked up again, she saw a face full of pity and innocence. She glanced at Ming Mo standing at the door and wanted to ask him where Lu Tingxu was, but she didn't dare to speak.

The Marquis's wife suddenly came over, and the beautiful woman following behind her should be the new young lady. Yesterday, Lu Tingxu told her that he would find a way and asked her to wait patiently. Now the situation did not seem to be what she expected. Now that Lu Tingxu was not here, no one could help her.

Ye Shiyue felt even more wronged and sad. She turned to the maid standing at the door who dared not come in and said, "Hurry up and serve tea to my aunt and the young lady."

Zhu'er immediately came up with the brewed tea and respectfully served it to Xiao and Lin Wan.

Lin Wan picked it up and took a sip, hmm, it’s the best Longjing!

However, Xiao did not drink, but observed the layout of the room coldly.

There were gauze curtains made of crimson moon-shadow gauze, tables made of pear wood, exquisite porcelain ornaments...especially the dressing table in front of the window, which was filled with all kinds of gold and jade jewelry.

The things in this room are extremely valuable. Even the night-light pearl on the bedside table is not in her room. He is indeed a very filial son!

Seeing Xiao looking around the room coldly, her face getting darker and darker, Lin Wan sat aside with her eyebrows lowered and sipping tea. The two of them had been silent since they came in.

Ye Shiyue felt more and more unsure.

"Aunt, how come you have time to come here today? Is there something wrong?" Ye Shiyue asked cautiously while standing in the house.

Xiao then retracted his gaze and looked at her, seeing her looking at him pitifully, as if she was about to faint in the next second. He secretly rolled his eyes, wondering why he hadn't noticed that she was so fake before?

"Sit down, don't let me faint before I say anything, or people will misunderstand me and think I'm bullying you."

Ye Shiyue was stunned by her straightforwardness and did not dare to refute, so she sat sideways on a round stool beside her.

Xiao was too lazy to say more. Seeing her trying to calm down, she said calmly, "I watched you grow up. When the Ye family suffered such a thing, I couldn't bear it, but you were also educated. Do you think your father deserved it?"

Ye Shiyue lowered her head with red eyes and said, "It's Daddy's fault."

"Although you are just a girl, no one can interfere with the emperor's decree of punishment. So I thought I would find you and redeem you after you get out of prison, so that you would not have called me aunt in vain for so many years. But I didn't expect that my son would be more anxious than me as a mother. Fortunately, you didn't suffer much."

Listening to Xiao's previous plan, Ye Shiyue looked at her gratefully and thanked her with tears in her eyes: "Thank you, Auntie and Brother Tingxu, for taking care of Yue'er. Otherwise... otherwise I would have died a long time ago."

Xiao looked at her face and said seriously, "Although I thought about saving you, I never thought about marrying you as my daughter-in-law. Now Tingxu is married. If you keep it here like this, it will not only be bad for him, but also for you. So, can I send you away?"

Ye Shiyue was extremely panicked, secretly cursing Xiao as an old witch. But she still had a tearful look on her face, and asked helplessly: "Uncle, aunt, where are you sending me?"

"Liangcheng." Xiao replied, "The Marquis and I were stationed in Liangcheng for many years. We arranged several farms and a lot of fields there to accommodate the wives and daughters of those soldiers. The generals there have a lot of connections with our Yongning Marquis Mansion. I will arrange for someone to send you there, arrange a house for you, and buy you two shops and farms. I will ensure that you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life. If you want to get married, I will go there in person as your family member to take you off. How do you think?"

Lin Wan listened to Xiao's arrangement bit by bit, and felt deeply: Xiao's arrangement was not inappropriate. It was as if she was sending her own children. Even if it was her, she couldn't do it to this extent.

If she were Ye Shiyue, she would definitely agree.

Thinking of this, he looked at Ye Shiyue who was sitting in front of him with her head down and crying. If she really just wanted to live a good life, then this arrangement of the Xiao family was the best.

However, Xiao was obviously going to be disappointed.
