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

"Tell me, who is it? Who is it?"

The truth was finally about to be revealed, and Xue Jinhua's eyes were like burning charcoal, with scarlet bloodshot.

The emotions that she had tried so hard to suppress could no longer be contained, and at this moment, she just wanted to find the person who had ruined her life and chop him into pieces.

"Sister...sister..." At the last moment, Brother Xue tried to stretch out his hand, as if to touch Xue Jinhua, but she subconsciously dodged it. Brother Xue's eyes flickered like a candle in the wind, and then... they were forever frozen in that moment.

"Madam, Xue Lao Er is dead."

After the jailer came to check, he couldn't help but feel a little scared, "Madam, this is the man the emperor ordered to be beheaded. If he dies..."

"Young jailer, don't worry, I will report everything to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Xue Jinhua had regained her composure, but when she recalled the scene just now, she still couldn't let it go.

"Thank you, madam!"

After Xue Jin finished the painting, he took a carriage and started his journey home.

Inside the carriage, her mind was wandering, and the moment before her second brother's death kept appearing in her mind.

Looking at the object in her palm, her emotions were churning inside. This jade pendant was left to her by her second brother before he died.

What exactly did he want to say to himself?

Once upon a time... Xue Jinhua thought that the Xue family were a group of cold-blooded and heartless people.

Second brother, second brother, do you think that giving me a tattered jade pendant can make up for the sins you have committed?

It’s simply a fool’s errand!

You are afraid of the Xue family and are willing to sacrifice your life for the honor of the Xue family. I, Xue Jinhua, cannot do that.

She, Xue Jinhua, will only live for herself in this life.

The carriage swayed slowly to the mansion. As soon as Xue Jinhua got off the carriage, Yinghua came hurriedly to greet her.

"Miss, something happened."

Xue Jinhua carefully put away the jade pendant and asked, "What happened?"

"Miss, let's go inside and talk."

When Xue Jinhua returned to the yard, Xin Tao was kneeling on the ground with deep and shallow scratches all over her face.

As soon as Xin Tao saw Xue Jinhua, tears welled up in her eyes and she choked up and said, "Madam, please make the decision for me!"

Xue Jinhua frowned slightly and asked softly, "What is going on? Don't be in a hurry, tell me slowly." As she spoke, she motioned to Yinghua beside her to hand a cup of tea to Xintao.

"Did I give you a lot of injuries on your face?" Xue Jinhua asked.

Xin Tao took the tea, sipped it, took a deep breath and said slowly: "These injuries were not caused by the master. If that were the case, how could I have the face to tell you? All these injuries of mine were caused by my aunt and madam."

Xue Jinhua could not help but be stunned, her face changed slightly: "Xintao, you know what I hate most, that is people who tell lies."

Hearing this, Xin Tao hurriedly shook her head and waved her hands, eagerly explaining: "Madam, how dare Xin Tao lie to you? Every word I say is true. If I tell even a single lie, let me be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."

Xue Jinhua looked at her, her expression slightly relieved: "Okay, stop crying for now, and tell me the whole story from beginning to end."

Seeing that the eldest lady seemed to believe her, Xin Tao felt relieved, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and began to tell her what happened in the afternoon.

Recalling those scenes, her face showed some anger and grievance again.

"My cousin came to see me this afternoon. I originally thought she was just coming to visit, but who knew that this cousin was such a shrewd person. While I was out pouring tea, she openly seduced me!" Xin Tao said while wiping her tears.

"Xintao, these words concern your cousin's reputation, you dare not talk nonsense." Sakura on the side scolded seriously.

Hearing this, Xin Tao cried even harder: "My sister Yinghua, it has come to this point, how dare I lie! My cousin is an unmarried girl, so her reputation is naturally important, but my cousin is a restless person!

I had just poured a cup of tea when she was sitting on the old man's lap in nothing but a thin bellyband.

I thought I was seeing things. My cousin had just been spanked, so how could she do such a shameless thing? So I rubbed my eyes and took a closer look. Who else could it be but my cousin?

Thinking of how Zhou Yeqing usually looked weak and silent, Yinghua couldn't believe that she dared to do such a shameless thing!

At this time, Xue Jinhua, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up: "What does this have to do with the wound on your face?"

When this topic was brought up, Xin Tao immediately covered her face with her hands and said aggrievedly, "When I opened the door, a gust of wind blew past and blew off the old man's hat... Maybe because my cousin had never seen the old man before, she was so scared that she fell to the ground. Her injuries had not healed yet, and this fall caused not only a relapse of her old injuries, but she also fell to the ground and couldn't get up. Even her pants were covered in blood."

At this point, Xin Tao burst into tears and continued with a sob, "I was worried that a more serious accident might happen, so I quickly found someone to send my cousin back to her room. But when my aunt saw that my cousin was injured, she didn't even ask why, and determined that it was my fault, and beat me up without saying a word."

Thinking of Old Madam Zhou's usual style, Xue Jinhua thought secretly in her heart that she certainly believed that Old Madam Zhou would definitely do such a thing.

"My injury is a small matter, but Miss Cousin is so shameless to think about you, it's clear that she doesn't take you seriously. I feel aggrieved for you, Madam, so I want to tell you."

Xin Tao's words echoed in her ears, with a hint of grievance and unwillingness in her voice, as if she had been greatly insulted. However, Xue Jinhua was not angered by her words, but just listened quietly, with no expression on her face.

After a while, she waved her hand gently and said calmly: "Okay, I know about this matter. You go back and take care of me." After that, she no longer looked at Xintao.

Xin Tao was stunned. She didn't expect that the eldest lady would treat her crying so coldly. She widened her eyes, tears still hanging on her cheeks, but she had forgotten to cry. She originally thought that the eldest lady would be moved by her loyalty and even punish the woman who seduced the master, but now...

"What? Is there anything else?" Xue Jinhua suddenly raised her head and looked at Xintao with cold eyes.

Xin Tao was startled and quickly lowered her head. After kowtowed, she replied, "Madam, I dare not. I will go down right away." Then she hurried away.

After Xin Tao left, Yinghua couldn't help but say, "Miss, you can't believe everything Xin Tao says."

"She was wronged, and she just wanted to vent my anger." Xue Jinhua gently fiddled with the teacup in her hand, her eyes calm, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her. "She didn't dare to lie about this matter, but I thought that after that incident, the master really gave up, but I didn't expect that he was just pretending."

She was wondering how the injured Zhou Yeqing could sit on his lap? Thinking of this, Xue Jinhua couldn't help but frown, and a feeling of disgust surged in her heart.

Xue Jinhua was disappointed and angry at Zhao Yuxuan's behavior. She couldn't help but sneer in her heart. This man was always self-righteous and thought he could control everything.

It may also be that Zhao Yuxuan's appearance was too scary, so Zhou Yeqing was frightened and fell to the ground...

Xue Jinhua was silent for a moment, and suddenly said to Yinghua beside her: "Yinghua, go prepare a gift. This cousin is injured, we should go and see her, right?"

Sakura nodded and responded, "Yes, Miss."

The night was deep, and the moonlight was like water on the path in the backyard. Xue Jinhua walked slowly towards Zhou Yeqing's room with Sakura. The whole way was quiet and silent, with only the sound of footsteps echoing on the stone road.

However, just when they took a few steps away, a shrill wailing suddenly came from the house, breaking the tranquility of the night.

"My dear sister, look at the slaves you have at home. They have bullied our Ye Qing to such an extent. She is an unmarried young lady. What will she do in the future?"

"Absolutely not. You must make the decision for me no matter what."

Xue Jinhua could no longer bear it when she heard this, and she pushed open the door abruptly, "I wonder how my aunt wants my mother to decide for you?"

In the room, besides Old Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Jiang was also there.

"You came just in time. How did the servants in your backyard bully our Ye Qing? How do you want to explain this?"

Wang also agreed, "She is just a lowly maid. How about leaving her to your aunt to deal with?"

"Mother, do you really believe what my aunt said? Why don't you ask what the whole story is?" Xue Jinhua ignored the two of them and turned her gaze to Zhou Yeqing.

However, her face was as pale as paper, like a candle in the wind, and she did not dare to look Xue Jinhua in the eye.

Wang said, "No matter what the reason is, can it be more important than your cousin's life?"

"Then I would like to ask my cousin, why did you go to the backyard in broad daylight? Why did I hear Xintao say that you were sitting naked on the old man's lap?"
