The mistress is reborn, no one who bullies me can escape

This is really ridiculous and absurd!

Xue Jinhua opened her red lips slightly, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of a smile, and said softly: "It seems that Madam Xue must be extremely eager to meet Madam Zhao?" Her tone was gentle and indifferent, as if she was just asking casually and relaxedly.

However, at this moment, a barely perceptible light flashed in Old Madam Xue's eyes, and she wondered secretly in her heart, could it be that she had taken the bait?

Madam Xue quickly responded, "Isn't it? I blame myself for not knowing how to cherish the good times my daughter had when she was still alive."

"At that time, I was so bewildered that I was deceived by that hateful adopted daughter that I treated my biological daughter badly in every way."

"If God could be merciful and give me another chance to start over, I would definitely do my best to love and protect her."

"Not only me, but even her eldest brother and her father will definitely treat her like a treasure and cherish her."

At this point, Madam Xue couldn't help but sigh softly, her face full of regret and self-blame.

But who could know? If Xue Jinhua had not already known her true character clearly, she would probably have been completely bewitched by this seemingly affectionate and remorseful Madam Xue.

At this moment, she seemed to be shrouded in regret. She looked as if she was extremely regretful, like a poor mother deeply confessing to her own daughter.

"How could this happen? I thought there should still be a chance!"

Tears gradually welled up in Mrs. Xue's eyes and she became more and more agitated.

She stared at the Crown Princess in front of her and asked in a trembling voice: "Crown Princess, you...what did you mean by what you just said? Could it be...could it be that my painting is still alive?"

However, before Xue Jinhua could answer, Old Madam Xue couldn't wait to continue, "Crown Princess, do you know something? Don't worry, if you know anything, as long as you are willing to tell me, I will definitely promise that I will never disclose it to anyone else!"

At this moment, Madam Xue's face was full of anticipation, and there was even a hint of shrewd calculation in her eyes.

Looking at the expression of Old Madam Xue in front of her, Xue Jinhua couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart. At the same time, she also sincerely felt deep regret and sadness for her extremely stupid self in her previous life.

Thinking back then, these so-called relatives of the Xue family never truly loved her as a member of the family. They treated her without any affection at all.

But at that time she was like a blind person, and could not see the cruel truth.

"Madam Xue, I'm afraid you have misunderstood." Finally, Xue Jinhua slowly shook her head and responded in a calm and cold tone.

Under her expectant gaze, Xue Jinhua opened her red lips slightly, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of teasing, and slowly said: "What I mean is actually very simple..."

"Mrs. Zhao has passed away. She can't hear a single word you are saying here about your deep regret. If you truly repent and are eager to atone for your sins, you might as well go to the underworld in person and talk to her in person."

"In this way, no matter what misunderstandings existed before, they will surely be resolved!"

Hearing this, Madam Xue couldn't help but widen her eyes and was secretly surprised.

She probably could never have imagined that the Crown Princess in front of her, who seemed so weak and fragile, would actually speak such absurd and unreliable words so seriously, as if it were a big deal.

Isn't this clearly just making fun of yourself?

You know, after all, I am a first-rank lady canonized by the court. Even if the rank of the Crown Princess is indeed higher than mine, I still should have the most basic respect, right?

Just as Madam Xue was about to burst out in anger, she heard Xue Jinhua's joking voice again: "Hey, Madam Xue, I'm just joking with you, please don't take it too seriously."

How could a princess consort of a country actually play such a thoughtless joke on others?

Regardless of whether this was intentional or purely unintentional, Mrs. Xue just felt that this matter was too absurd and ridiculous.

She is the Crown Princess of a country, of such a noble status, yet she actually played such a ridiculous joke on others!

Regardless of whether it was intentional or not, just looking at this matter alone, Mrs. Xue felt it was extremely absurd and ridiculous.

If it were an ordinary person, she would have ruthlessly kicked him out.

However, the person standing in front of her at this moment was the Crown Princess, who was in a high position of power. Even if she was filled with anger and dissatisfaction, she would never dare to act rashly, let alone have the ability to expel her.

Old Master Xue's expression froze, and a solemn expression took its place: "It's just that this joke is really boring. I hope the Crown Princess won't mention such words again in the future."

Unexpectedly, Xue Jinhua was not willing to give in, and immediately continued, "So Madam Xue also knows that such jokes are not funny?"

As he spoke, he stared straight at Old Madam Xue, as if he wanted to see through her innermost thoughts.

After a pause, Xue Jinhua continued, "I have never heard of a biological daughter living at home without her own boudoir, but a deceased adopted daughter has her own room... Tell me, if the biological daughter knew about this, how heartbroken would she be?"

At this time, Madam Xue's face became paler and there was even a thin layer of sweat on her forehead. It was obvious that Xue Jinhua's words had touched a sore spot, and her guilty feeling was evident on the surface.

Xue Jinhua pretended not to hear anything and continued to talk to herself, "I really can't imagine that someone from another family would commit such a crime. After all, there are all kinds of strange things in the world."

"However, the Grand Tutor's residence has always been a place of great respect for etiquette and strict family traditions. How could such a ridiculous thing happen? When I first heard about it, I just thought it was a rumor."

"It was just a joke with Madam Xue, but I didn't expect that now that I think about it carefully...it doesn't seem to be a joke."

At this point, Xue Jinhua couldn't help but shake her head slightly, with a look of regret on her face: "It's not surprising that the Xue family's legitimate daughter has a distant relationship with her family."

"After all, the position that should have belonged to me was taken over by someone else, and after I returned, I didn't even have a decent place to stay."

If I put myself in their shoes, I would probably be extremely disappointed with the Xue family as well."

"The Xue family has a huge business and abundant wealth, and can accommodate many outsiders, but they cannot accommodate their own flesh and blood. This behavior is really laughable."

At this moment, Madam Xue felt as if her face was burning with unbearable pain.

She stared at the woman in front of her, wondering in her heart: Is she really Xue Jinhua? If so, is she angry? But if it's not me...

Just as Old Madam Xue was full of suspicion, Xue Jinhua suddenly smiled and said slowly, "Old Madam Xue, I'm really sorry. I am the Crown Princess by nature and often speak without restraint. I hope you can be magnanimous and not take my words to heart."

"No...no way."

Old Madam Xue stammered, her face full of embarrassment and disappointment.

She had originally hoped to gain some benefits from the Crown Princess, but now to no avail, she was naturally very unhappy.

Previously, Old Madam Xue had tried every means to curry favor with the other party, but the current situation made her lose all interest in an instant.

"Princess, the room prepared for you is just ahead. Please go over and rest."

"Today, the government is busy. If our hospitality is not good enough, I hope you can forgive us."

Madam Xue suppressed her dissatisfaction and tried to speak in a calm tone.

"The dead are the most important. Why would I, the Crown Princess, care about these trivial matters? Madam Xue, just go about your own business." The Crown Princess nodded slightly and responded calmly.

Hearing this, Old Madam Xue turned around and left in a hurry as if she had been pardoned.

In fact, she couldn't wait to leave.

As soon as she stepped into the room, she could no longer suppress her anger. She walked straight to the door, raised her hand and smashed the exquisite vase to the ground.

"Bang!" With a crisp sound, the vase shattered and fragments flew everywhere.

Old Madam Xue gnashed her teeth and cursed, "Damn Crown Princess, even if she really wasn't Xue Jinhua, how could she be so arrogant and domineering? Did she really think that if she became Crown Prince Ling Yan, she would be able to become the Queen in the future?"

"Humph, this is wishful thinking. I'm afraid she doesn't know that without the support of our Xue family, even the current emperor may not be able to sit firmly on the throne!"

"Madam, the master is back!"

A crisp report broke Madam Xue's originally immersed thoughts, and she was also suddenly pulled back to reality by these sudden words.

At this moment, she had no time to care about the anger in her heart that had not yet dissipated. She hurriedly got up and walked quickly towards the deeper courtyard.

When Madam Xue stepped into the yard, she immediately saw Boss Lu standing in the yard with a calm expression.

The Xue family suffered a heavy blow this time, with three brothers having passed away one after another, but what is surprising is that there is not a trace of sadness on the face of the eldest brother Xue.

"Why did you suddenly come back at this time? Didn't you agree not to come back?"

Old Madam Xue gazed at her eldest son in front of her, her eyes full of pity and concern.

However, facing his mother's inquiry, Xue Lao Da did not respond directly. Instead, he asked anxiously, "Mom, how is the progress of the thing I asked you to do?"

When mentioning this, Madam Xue couldn't help but frown, and a wave of sadness welled up in her heart.

"Son, maybe you are mistaken."

"The Crown Princess should not be Xue Jinhua. I just asked her tentatively, but all I could sense from her words was sarcasm. If she is really your biological sister, from what I understand, as long as I show some kindness, she will definitely soften her heart and will never deny it outright."

So, did she not admit her identity to her mother?

Boss Xue thought to himself: Why can she admit it in front of me, but refuse to admit it in front of the Xue family? What is this woman trying to do?

"Mom, think about it, people change. We did a lot of things to hurt our sister in the past, so it's normal for her to feel resentful."

Boss Xue paused for a moment, then continued, "Besides, my father will be back soon, so during this period, you must first show your goodwill to the Crown Princess and find ways to make her admit her true identity in person."

Hearing this, Madam Xue frowned and asked worriedly, "But what if she just refuses to admit it? In my opinion, the way she acted just now, the possibility that she will admit it is really small."

Boss Xue narrowed his eyes slightly, with a faint dark light flickering in his pupils. He replied coldly: "Humph, if it really comes to that, then wait until I get the evidence."

"As long as I have irrefutable evidence in my hands, she won't deny it!"

"If she still refuses to admit it, then we can just go all out and get rid of her. After all, keeping such a hidden danger will become a disaster sooner or later."

At this point, Old Madam Xue couldn't help but look embarrassed. After hesitating for a moment, she muttered softly: "But if you do this, then your legs..."
