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

In the afternoon, Ma Zi brought Li San into the house as agreed.

Xue Jinhua sat at the table, her eyes fixed on Li San. Her eyes revealed a trace of thought and recollection, as if she had returned to her previous life.

In his previous life, Li San had left a deep impression on Xue Jinhua. Although he looked weak, he was actually a capable person. Zhao Yuxuan discovered this talent at some point and took him in as his confidant. Since then, Li San has managed the Marquis's property in an orderly manner, and even when he was critically ill, he was able to take over and continue to run the business smoothly.

Therefore, Xue Jinhua decided to find this person in advance, hoping that he could work for her. And Li San in front of him was undoubtedly the most suitable choice.

"Miss, Miss." Yinghua's voice brought her back to reality. Xue Jinhua came back to her senses, smiled apologetically, then looked at the person in front of her and asked softly, "You are Li San, right?"

When Li San heard this, he was slightly startled, and a trace of surprise flashed across his face, but he quickly regained his composure and replied respectfully: "Yes, madam, I am Li San. May I know what you want from me?"

Xue Jinhua narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at the man in front of her, then sighed softly and said slowly: "It's bitterly cold down there, it's a pity for you with your talent."

After hearing this, Li San's eyes flashed with surprise and confusion, but he quickly regained his composure. He just looked at Xue Jinhua quietly, waiting for her next words.

At this moment, Xue Jinhua suddenly fell silent and stopped talking. She just stared at Li San closely, as if she wanted to see something from his eyes.

Xue Jinhua continued, "I know your mother is seriously ill and you have a younger brother. I have ordered someone to bring your mother to Kyoto and hired the best doctor to treat her."

When Li San heard this, his heart was filled with gratitude. With tears in his eyes, he said, "Thank you, ma'am. You are really the benefactor of our family!" At this moment, he was full of respect and gratitude for this lady.

It turned out that Li San was a scholar, but because his mother was seriously ill and his family was poor and had no money for medical treatment, he had no choice but to sell himself to a farm and became an accountant there.

"A great favor cannot be expressed in words alone." Li San understood that this favor was too great to be expressed in words.

Li San knelt down immediately and said sincerely, "Please give me your instructions, Madam. I will do my best to repay your kindness!"

Xue Jinhua looked at the man in front of her and nodded with satisfaction. "I have a medicine shop in Kyoto, and the owner just asked me to quit. You can go over and help me run it!"

Li San was delighted when he heard this, as he knew very well that this was a rare opportunity. If he could run this pharmacy well, he could not only repay his wife's kindness but also improve his family's financial situation.

So, Li San replied firmly: "Please rest assured, Madam, I will do my best and live up to your expectations!"

"By the way, when you get there, stock up all the Gastrodia elata and Ganoderma lucidum within a ten-mile radius. Take as many as you can."

"Yes, ma'am." Although he was curious, he didn't ask any more questions.

Xue Jinhua was very satisfied with his attitude.

After arranging Li San's affairs, Yinghua frowned, "Miss, this Li San is a newcomer from the village below. Would it be inappropriate to entrust such an important matter to him?"

"Don't worry, Li San is a grateful person. For the sake of his mother and brother, he will never betray me."

"Madam, your mother is here." Just as Xue Jinhua finished speaking, a maid came in to report.

Her eyes flashed, "Since mother is here, why don't you come in quickly."

If she remembered correctly, this was the first time her mother came to the Zhao family since she got married, right?

Thinking about what happened in Wang's room last night, her heart felt as if wrapped in frost.

From this, it can be seen that Xue Qing'er is indeed very charming. As soon as she returned to Prince Zhuang's Mansion, she made Zhao Yuxuan furious. Even she, who had not set foot in the Marquis' Mansion for many years, came.

"Mother," Xue Jinhua lowered her head slightly and called out respectfully.

"Yes," Xue's mother's voice was low and powerful, as if carrying an unquestionable majesty. Her eyes were as deep as a cold pond, which made people feel awe.

"Jinhua, you have been married to the Marquis' Mansion for a few years, right?" Xue's mother's voice was full of vicissitudes, as if the accumulation of years was revealed in her voice. Her face was solemn, like the frost in winter, cold and biting.

In Xue Jinhua's impression, her mother was always a serious person, like an iceberg that never melted all year round.

She thought her mother was just like that, so she didn't take it to heart and tried her best to please her. But after she saw her mother's attitude towards Xue Qing'er, she realized that her mother was not unable to smile, just like Zhao Yuxuan, she just couldn't smile at her.

He doesn't even know how many years his own daughter has been married. It seems like he really doesn't care.

Xue Jinhua suppressed the ripples in her heart. Why was she still sad about something she knew in her previous life? In this life, she had no relatives, no family affection, only hatred.

"Jinhua, I'm not saying anything bad to you, but you haven't been able to give birth to a boy or girl for the Marquis's Mansion in all these years. Don't you feel guilty?"

Xue Jinhua just found it ridiculous at this moment.

What do you mean she didn't give birth to a son or daughter for the Marquis's Mansion?

Zhao Yuxuan went out to work on the day of the wedding. Others might not know, but didn’t she, as a mother, know either?

Seeing that she was silent, Xue's mother thought she felt guilty.

"I'm not saying anything bad to you, mother. As the mistress of the Marquis's mansion, you should be more generous. You have been married for so many years and have no children. It is natural for the Marquis to want to adopt a son. In the future, you will live in harmony with the Marquis's mansion. This is what mother wants to see."

Xue's mother said these words as if they were for her own good. But did she still think she was the Xue Jinhua who was at the mercy of others in her previous life?

She lacked love so much in her previous life that in order to integrate into this big family, she believed everything her mother said to her.

Even though she knew in her heart that it was not her fault, she still felt that she had not done well enough, so she tried various ways to show her kindness to Zhao Yuxuan, just hoping that he could give her a smile.

But what is the result!

She has been trying to please others all her life, but has gained nothing and has become a redundant person.

"Mother, adopting a child is a major matter for the Zhao family. The elders of the Zhao family will naturally be concerned about it." Xue Jinmiao's face was calm. Although he had some sarcasm in his heart, he did not show it. He said calmly: "This matter is not something I can decide alone."

Mother Xue frowned slightly: "You are so silly, don't you understand the Marquis's mind? He is only trying to repay the kindness of Brother Fan's biological parents for saving his life. If you can help the Marquis solve this problem, won't the relationship between you two be eased?"

"Mother, the quality of the relationship between the Marquis and I does not depend on me, but on the Marquis." Xue Jinhua said slowly.

Originally, when she came, she had some contempt in her heart, thinking that her daughter was more eager for her approval, and that as long as she played the emotional card a little, she would be obedient.

Just like when I first brought her back, if I treated her a little bit better, she would be so touched.

So when she was promised to the Zhao family, she agreed to marry Zhao Yuxuan without caring whether she liked it or not.

But now no one knew what was wrong with Xue Jinhua. She had clearly shown her goodwill to her, but now she was not as obedient as before.

Xue's mother was unhappy: "How can you talk nonsense, child? It is said that a woman should obey her husband when she is married. You should try to please your husband in order to gain his approval, do you understand? Jinhua, you also know that your mother has no other intentions. This is all for your own good."

She spoke as if it were true, and it was obviously all for her adopted daughter Xue Qing'er. She spoke even better than she sang.

Xue Jinhua suppressed her disgust and said, "Mother, I understand what you said, but I think that in order to please the Marquis, you don't have to adopt a child. And even if you want to adopt a child, it doesn't have to be Brother Fan, right? The Marquis is busy with promotions now, so it's up to the clan leader and the clan to smooth things over!"

Xue's mother's mouth twitched "..."

Xue Jinhua pretended not to see it and continued, "If we have to offend the clan leader and the entire clan just to adopt a child named Fan, it would not be worth it. Mother, please think about it, isn't it? So the matter of adopting a child named Fan will have to be postponed...
