Yi Xin as a concubine

The farce ended with Xin Baoer's coma. Xin Baoer was carried into the carriage by Xin Chengzhi, and the crowd quickly dispersed. No matter how angry Zhang Yaru was, no one let her vent. She could only stomp her feet and take people back home to complain.

Not long after Xin Baoer returned home, she started to have a high fever. She was awakened by nightmares from time to time, and then fell into a drowsy sleep again. This went on for three days in a row.

Master Xin invited doctors from all over the city to look for his daughter, hoping that she could wake up soon. Almost all the masters of each room in the Xin family came to see her, but when they saw that she had not woken up, they could only leave with worry.

Early in the morning of the fourth day, Xin Baoer finally woke up slowly. She had lost weight and lay on the bed like a paper man. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't know there was a person under the quilt.

This made the eldest lady and the eldest daughter very distressed, especially the eldest daughter, Xin Feng'er. She didn't even go home, and spent the whole day coaxing her younger sister to eat and drink more.

Two days passed like this, and Xin Baoer finally had the strength to get out of bed, and the masters of the Xin Mansion finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Xin Baoer hovered on the edge of life and death, and when she went out again, her whole temperament had changed. She lost her timid and petty air, and her whole body exuded a kind of tranquility that came from experiencing vicissitudes of life.

This kind of tranquility can make you ignore her appearance. It seems that as long as you are next to her, all the restlessness of the world can be settled down in an instant.

It seems to have the power to cleanse people's hearts, making people unable to help but get close to it, but unable to bear to desecrate it.

Looking at herself in the mirror, who was so thin that only thin strips of skin were left, Xin Baoer smiled foolishly.

"Xin Baoer, have we been reborn again? Do you feel like you have been reborn? That's great. I made it through and survived another catastrophe. I am one step closer to a true new life. You will bless me, right?"

"Miss...Miss, are you...are you okay?" As soon as Lancao entered the inner room, she saw her young lady laughing and talking in front of the mirror. She was so scared that she stuttered and asked.

But in his heart he was thinking, 'Did the young lady get scared by the young lady from the Zhang family and become ill?'

"I'm fine. Come and get dressed. I still have to go meet daddy and the others."

Xin Baoer smiled faintly and instructed Lancao, but her heart had already flown to the study. She had been sick for so long, and she didn't know what the situation was like outside.

In the large study of the Xin Mansion, the six elders of the Xin family were sitting together, as well as the eldest son Xin Chengfeng who was being trained as the heir, the third brother Xin Chengyu from the second room, and the fourth brother Xin Chengyuan from the third room. As for the second brother Xin Chengzhi and Xin Baoer who were sitting at the end, they usually had no chance to attend such family meetings.

This time, they were allowed to attend the trial because they were involved in the rumor incident.

"Precious girl, are you feeling better now?"

Master Xin was not in a hurry to speak. He first showed concern for his daughter. She felt that the stool was much wider when she sat there.

The eldest lady felt distressed when she saw this, so she asked Mother Qi to bring her a seat cushion and a back cushion. At this time, the eldest master felt that the chair was a little full, so he withdrew his gaze and couldn't help but feel more satisfied with his wife.

"Brother Zhi, tell me what's going on outside now."

Xin Chengzhi was thinking about finding something to nourish his sister. He was still blaming himself for not protecting his little sister well that day, causing her to be frightened by that crazy woman. Now she was so thin that she needed some nourishment.

He was suddenly called by his father and quickly sat up straight. He was still very afraid of his father. His father was like a spring breeze to his daughters, but to them brothers, it was like a storm at any time!

"Father, the rumors are basically one-sided now, and they all speak up for my eighth sister. I've also paid attention to the families of my other sisters. Except for my sixth sister, who is still at a stalemate, the other families don't dare to embarrass my sisters. It's all thanks to my second sister. She asked His Royal Highness the Grandson to visit each family and those families don't dare to say a word."

"What nonsense! Eighth sister is still here, and she's becoming more and more out of character."

Xin Chengzhi was so proud of what you said that he was scolded by his own mother. He looked at his sister guiltily and found that she was smiling at him. He scratched his head embarrassedly.

"I never thought that the most timid girl in our family could fight for the family. Well done to you, precious girl!"

Master Xin has been in a very good mood these days. Without those flies buzzing around his ears, he can eat an extra bowl of rice.

"Yes, this time it's all thanks to Baoyatou, otherwise this matter would have been a long time coming. Those small merchants who are sitting on the fence have started to curry favor with us again. This time we have to teach them a lesson."

The Third Master, who has always been thoughtful and meticulous, has been very angry and depressed during this period. Now that the wind has changed, he actually feels proud.

"I didn't do anything. I just went out and cried for a while. I made myself sick. It was useless." Xin Baoer said embarrassedly.

Xin Baoer indeed felt that she was quite useless, although she had made up her mind at the beginning to play the victim in front of Zhang Yaru, the instigator, so that the ignorant people could see the truth of the matter and thus lead the rumors back to the original point of conflict, instead of being used by people with ulterior motives and following the crowd, and finally becoming the target of criticism against the Xin family.

But she really didn't expect that she would get sick, and she would be sick for such a long time. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart. It seemed that she could not get rid of her weak personality. She didn't know whether the people in her family would let her go out in the future.

"Eighth sister, don't say that. Although you just went out to cry, it really had a big effect. No matter how our family clarified, those people wouldn't listen. Now we just spread some bad news about them, and they accepted it immediately. They spread it on their own without any guidance.

Father took the opportunity to tell others about the good deeds done by the Xin Mansion in recent years, such as providing free porridge and medicine, donating money and materials, etc. Unexpectedly, the income of the shop has increased a lot, and this is all thanks to you. "

Young Master Xin has been having a very good time in recent days. Several business deals that were previously unsuccessful have shown some reluctance in the past few days and are about to be concluded. They are all big orders, and he feels refreshed when he thinks about the rewards to be gained in the future.

"Alright, you are getting complacent after a little success, but be careful not to make mistakes. You should know that there are always variables before things are accomplished. It is taboo to get carried away in the business world. Once you lose your balance, the other party may break away and even control you in turn. Not only Feng Ge'er, but also Yu Ge'er and Yuan Ge'er, you must remember this."

"Yes, we remember it!" The three answered in unison, their tone very respectful.

Xin Chengzhi was most impatient with these things. When no one was paying attention to him, he secretly curled his lips at Xin Baoer and squinted his eyes. His funny look of disgust but not daring to say anything made Xin Baoer's eyebrows curved and she laughed softly.

The three ladies were not interested in the men's business skills. When they heard the eldest master teaching them on the spot, they all turned their eyes to Xin Baoer. Naturally, they also saw the second brother making a fool of himself. The eldest lady rolled her eyes at her useless second son and felt helpless.

However, considering that he could make Baoya laugh, she did not scold him but just glared at him fiercely.

After the little incident, the family finally got down to business.

The family discussed the recent events, whether big or small, inside or outside the mansion, or in the inner and outer courtyards, and everyone shared the part they were involved in.

Xin Baoer listened and watched silently. Only at this moment did she understand why there were three families living in the Xin mansion but there were almost no conflicts.

In the eyes of the men of the Xin family, no matter whether it is inside or outside the family or in the outer courtyard, as long as it involves family members, it must be taken seriously. They can let their women do what they want, but they will not ignore it. After all, those women were provoked by them, and they must be responsible for the trouble they caused.

At the same time, they will also tell the women at home everything that happened outside, including the pros and cons, gains and losses, and where the women's cooperation is needed. In this way, when they go out for social activities, they can be polite and avoid useless social interactions.

In such an era where men are superior to women, women in the Xin family are undoubtedly lucky. They are trusted and respected by their husbands and have absolute rights at home, which fundamentally prevents concubines from taking advantage of their husbands' favor and becoming arrogant, provoking the mistress and causing chaos in the family.

The mistresses have a calm mind, the concubines do their duty, and all the children in the mansion, whether legitimate or illegitimate, receive a good education, so that the children can love each other and live in harmony. The legitimate sons and daughters are generous and bright, and the illegitimate sons and daughters are not inferior or jealous, and each has their own personality due to their education.

Thinking of this, Xin Baoer suddenly felt guilty. It seemed that she was the only one who was the odd one out in the Xin family, but why?

No matter how pretty she looks, her previous personality should have made her unlikable!
