Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy

On a lazy afternoon, Xie Qingli was wandering in the Zhang Mansion garden, bored.

Xue Henian has been staying in Luming County. Master Zhang is worried that he might harm Xie Qingli, so he has Xie Qingli detained in the mansion. Song Zhaoxing should have returned to the city by then. Xie Qingli wants to find him and get the jade pendant back as soon as possible, but now he can't leave the mansion, and he feels a little angry with Xue Henian.

"Miss, Miss, look what this is?" The maid Chunya ran over happily, holding a small birdcage in her hands. Madam Zhang took pity on Xie Qingli's loneliness and had specially chosen Chunya for her. Chunya was of the same age as Xie Qingli, with a lively and active temperament. Although she was a maid, she was actually a playmate.

Chunya held the birdcage in front of Xie Qingli as if presenting a treasure: "Miss, look how cute this little bird is, it's so fun!" Xie Qingli has been in a bad mood these days, and Chunya tried all kinds of ways to make her happy, but unfortunately the effect was not very good, like now.

Xie Qingli looked into the birdcage. Inside was a snow-white bird. Perhaps it had been shaken just now, it looked a little wilted. She tapped Chunya's forehead and teased, "Look at me, young lady. Do I look like this bird trapped in the cage?"

Chunya was a little stunned. She had painstakingly obtained this bird from Master Shouan's servant, but she hadn't expected it to make the young lady sad instead of amusing her. So, what was the point of having this bird? Chunya opened the cage, and the bird fluttered away happily.

Xie Qingli pretended to lament again: "Oh, the bird can happily fly out of the cage, but I can't even leave the house. It turns out that I am not as good as a bird." When Chunya heard this, a layer of mist suddenly appeared on her big round eyes. Why was she so stupid? Did she do something wrong again?

Seeing that the joke had gone too far and the little girl took it seriously, Xie Qingli quickly coaxed her, "Chun Ya, don't cry. Miss, I was just joking. This is my home, how can it be like a birdcage? Besides, I am very happy every day because you play with me every day." He said with a big smile.

Chunya walked forward angrily. She was not angry with the young lady, but angry at herself for not being smart enough. She couldn't tell whether the young lady was pretending to be happy to please her. The lady assigned her to the young lady, but she was useless.

When they reached a rockery, Chunya suddenly stopped and heard a whisper coming from behind the rockery. Xie Qingli caught up with them and was about to speak when Chunya made a hushed gesture to her and pointed behind the rockery.

"Let me tell you, I heard that the eldest lady in our house is very powerful. You must take a detour when you see her in the future, otherwise you may get caught." The voice of an old woman sounded, with gossip and excitement in her tone.

"Why? I met the eldest lady in the garden yesterday, and she smiled at me. She looked so beautiful when she smiled. I think the eldest lady is a very good master! I really envy the sisters who can serve in her room. I also want to be transferred to the eldest lady's yard to work." A young woman's voice was full of envy.

The old woman hurriedly stopped her, "Oh, absolutely not! I heard the eldest daughter knows magic. You think she's nice, so she must have cast a spell on you. Our master and mistress are now completely bewitched by her, especially the mistress, who is so devoted to her that she wants to give her all. I heard that even the porridge she had for breakfast tonight was made by the mistress herself. Think about it, Young Master Shou'an has been ill for so many years, how many times has the mistress made medicine for him?"

"It's a bit strange indeed. Madam has known the eldest lady for only a few days, but she seems to treat her goddaughter, who has no blood relationship with her, better than her biological son, Master Shouan. Could it be that the eldest lady really knows magic? But if she has such powerful magic, why does she stay in our house?" The young woman was extremely confused.

"Of course it's for the family fortune! I heard that the master wanted to give her half a few days ago, but she refused. Our Zhang family is so rich, who wouldn't be tempted by so much money? Pah, she must think half is too little and wants to take all the family fortune. Besides, who knows whether Young Master Shouan's illness has been cured? Maybe it was her magic that made him look better, but he is actually even sicker."

"Witchcraft? Is she a monster?"

"I heard someone saw a worm two or three feet long on the west mountain of Lu'er Village. The worm was as thick as a man. I think it has turned into a monster. Our eldest daughter is from Lu'er Village. Maybe she is the incarnation of that worm..."

Chunya couldn't bear it any longer, she shouted at the back of the rockery: "Who dares to make up stories about the master? Are you itching for trouble?" There was a rustling sound, and two people rushed out with their heads covered with scarves, and disappeared without a trace in a short while.

Chunya wanted to chase after her, but Xie Qingli held her back. She said that she would go to Shengjing City to find her mother Jiang Muxue in a while. After she left, these gossips would naturally fall apart. She didn't want to cause any more trouble.

After dinner, Xie Qingli strolled to Li Lanzhi's yard. Zhuangzhuang became more and more adorable every day. Xie Qingli felt something was missing if she didn't tease him every day.

Hu Er was studying medical books. Mr. Zhang originally wanted Hu Er to take the imperial examination, but Hu Er chose to study medicine. Firstly, he was too old and it was too difficult for him to study from scratch. Secondly, he was only interested in medical skills, but his medical skills were mediocre. Mr. Zhang found an experienced old doctor for him. Hu Er went to the old doctor to observe and learn during the day, and did not forget to read medical books when he came back at night.

Hu Er was overjoyed to see Xie Qingli and asked him to explain the parts of the medical book he did not understand. After discussing with him, Hu Er became even more impressed with Xie Qingli's medical skills. Seeing that Hu Er looked unsatisfied, Li Lanzhi quickly found an excuse to send Hu Er away and dismissed the maids and servants in the house.

When they were the only two left in the room, Xie Qingli said with a smile, "Sister-in-law Lanzhi, are you used to living here?"

Li Lanzhi nodded. "Suddenly living in such a grand mansion, with so many maids and servants waiting on me, I felt a little uneasy in the first few days. It felt like a dream, and I didn't know when I would open my eyes and return to Lu'er Village. However, my father-in-law and mother-in-law have been very kind to us these days, and I've gradually felt at ease."

"Let's not talk about that. This afternoon I heard the maids and servants in the courtyard spreading rumors about you. Those rumors were so outrageous, but I'm afraid someone might believe them. You have to be more careful, sister."

Xie Qingli was shocked when she heard this. She had originally thought it was just gossip between one or two servants, but for such rumors to spread through the mansion, it must have been instigated by someone with ulterior motives. Her adoptive parents would certainly not believe it, but if it reached Zhang Shouan and caused him to harbor resentment, the Zhang family would be in turmoil, and her adoptive parents would be in a dilemma.

Xie Qingli hurried back to her yard, frowning and thinking all the way. The best way she could think of was to take the initiative to talk about the matter with Zhang Shouan, eliminate the grudge in his heart, and then find a way to find out the person behind the scenes.

Taking out a bottle of homemade pills, Xie Qingli brought Chunya to Zhang Shouan's yard. Except for the two times when he came to treat illnesses, Xie Qingli had never been here again, and had never been alone with Zhang Shouan, so he didn't understand his temper.

Reaching the door of Zhang Shouan's room, Xie Qingli paused. The room had transformed dramatically in just a few days. Once a deserted, snow-capped cave, it now exuded life with the books stacked on the table, the verdant potted plants by the window, and the paintings hanging on the wall. Zhang Shouan was reclining on a soft couch, quietly flipping through a book. He was still thin, but no longer looked sickly.

When Zhang Shouan raised his eyes, he saw the girl reflected in the soft light of the setting sun. She was like a fairy from heaven. She was smart, wise, kind and lovely. She raised her hand lightly and cast a magic spell to change the fate of a dying man like him.

But now a trace of sadness appeared on her face. Did she hear those rumors?
