Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy

On a dark and windy night, people are killing people and setting fires.

The candle in Mr. Zhang's study was lit for half the night. Only after he had made all the arrangements overnight did he fall asleep peacefully.

On the same night, Xie Qingli, dressed in night clothes, nimbly climbed over the wall of Zhang's mansion and quietly reached the backyard of Renjitang.

The fourth watch was the time when people were most sleepy. Somehow, a fire broke out in the backyard of Renjitang. The dozing night watchman did not notice it until the flames shot up into the sky and illuminated half the sky.

The owner and staff of Renjitang and the neighbors worked tirelessly for an hour before finally putting out the fire. The house where the old doctor Xue lived was the worst damaged. He fell unconscious from smoke inhalation and only regained consciousness after the doctors at Renjitang worked tirelessly to save him.

Although no one was killed in the fire, most of the house was destroyed, resulting in devastating losses. Doctor Xue finally woke up and, upon hearing the shopkeeper's report, was so distressed he nearly fainted again. He suspected arson and ordered a thorough investigation into the cause.

However, the investigation results showed that the fire was an accident. The servant who was on duty in Doctor Xue's room last night suddenly had diarrhea in the middle of the night and ran to the toilet and squatted for more than an hour. When he came back from the toilet, he found that the candle in Doctor Xue's room had fallen over and most of the things in the room were burned. The precious antiques and calligraphy and paintings that the shopkeeper had collected for Doctor Xue were all destroyed. The servant was afraid of being punished, so he quietly ran away.

The shopkeeper recaptured the escaped servant. Doctor Xue was furious and ordered the servant severely punished before sending him to the government. The servant was so badly injured that he died within half an hour of arriving at the government office. The county magistrate ruled it a suicide out of fear of punishment and hastily closed the case.

That same day, rumors swirled throughout the county. Was Renjitang's pricey Ruyi Pill, touted as a cure-all, actually just ginger? Was the ginseng it sold counterfeit radish? Was Renjitang deliberately treating patients with mild symptoms as severe ones, even to the point of killing them? One by one, someone unearthed the truth, and the evidence covered the streets.

When the sun was at its zenith, people came from all directions to watch the excitement. A group of wailing people gathered at the door of Renjitang. Some of them lost all their wealth after seeing a doctor at Renjitang, or their relatives died in Renjitang. Even worse was that they lost both their wealth and their lives. They blocked the door of Renjitang and were determined to get an explanation today.

The owner and his staff hid behind the door, holding it tightly, fearing that the angry crowd would force their way in. Seeing the door closed, the people outside became cowards, throwing rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at it. The once magnificent gate instantly became stinking.

Old Doctor Xue was so angry that his heart, liver, lungs, spleen, stomach and kidneys all ached. He suspected that someone was targeting him, but in this situation, he was powerless to fight back. He had no choice but to put on coarse cloth clothes, disguise himself as a common citizen who was watching the fun, and quietly slipped away through the charred back door of Renjitang.

The servants of Zhang's house had been keeping an eye on what was happening in Renjitang. When they saw Old Doctor Xue pretending to be a commoner and slipping away, they hurried back to report the good news.

Mr. Zhang clapped his hands and laughed. The annoying old man was finally driven away. However, I don’t know if it was God’s will or some kind man’s secret help last night, but the old man was actually burned to death. It was really gratifying.

After listening to the report from the servant, Zhang Shouan's eyes flickered slightly, and he shook his head and laughed. Dad and this little girl were really a natural father and daughter, both of them were vindictive.

Xie Qingli breathed a sigh of relief. She had been cooped up in the mansion for so long that she was almost going moldy. The crisis was over, and her adoptive father had no reason to stop her! She swaggered out of the mansion with Chunya, and as expected, the gatekeeper did not stop them.

The two little girls were like birds out of a cage, wandering around the bustling streets, looking at everything. Suddenly, Xie Qingli felt as if someone was staring at her from behind, but when she turned around to look, she found nothing. She shook her head and thought, "Forget it, let's just deal with it!"

……

Xie Qingli's feeling was correct. There was indeed someone in the crowd in the distance who was staring at Xie Qingli fiercely, but Xie Qingli would never have thought that this person was actually Mrs. Zhang who delivered Li Lanzhi that day.

After the Lu'er Village midwifery incident, Zhang Pozi's luck continued to streak. Her skills as a midwife had previously provided her with a comfortable, if not luxurious, life in town. But after Xie Qingli revived Li Lanzhi, whom she had declared beyond hope, she was no longer sought out for midwifery, and her family suddenly lost their livelihood.

To make matters worse, a family surnamed Wang, where she had previously delivered a baby, had considerable land. Wang's daughter-in-law also lost her baby in an abnormal position, resulting in two deaths. Wang's son and his daughter-in-law were deeply attached, and even after seven or eight years, he still refused to remarry.

Some gossipmonger had spread the news of Lu'er Village to the Wang family, and Mrs. Wang was furious. If it weren't for Mrs. Zhang, her son and daughter-in-law would surely be living in harmony, and her grandson would be healthy, instead of the situation now where her son was alone and heartbroken. Mrs. Wang sent people to Mrs. Zhang's house several times to cause trouble, and Mrs. Zhang could no longer survive in the town, so she had to come to the county to seek a living.

In the past, when Mrs. Zhang was a midwife, she was treated like a deity, with constant tea and snacks, and generous rewards. Now, Mrs. Zhang and her daughter-in-law found some work doing laundry and mending, which was hard and tiring. Her son and daughter-in-law often complained about Mrs. Zhang, and Mrs. Zhang was filled with hatred but had no way to vent it.

A few days ago, Mrs. Zhang heard that the wealthy Zhang family in the county had actually adopted that bitch from Lu'er Village as his goddaughter. Mrs. Zhang refused to believe it. Why did she, Mrs. Zhang, become destitute because of that bitch, while that bitch rose to prominence and became a phoenix?

Today, when Mrs. Zhang came back from work, she unexpectedly met that cheap girl on the street. The cheap girl was dressed in silk and satin, with pearls and jade in her hair, and was accompanied by a little maid, looking like a lady from a wealthy family.

Mrs. Zhang hated it so much! As she walked, she thought about how to take revenge. When she passed by Baihua Tower, an idea flashed in her mind. Yes, selling that bitch would not only make money, but also reduce that bitch to the lowest level of people, turning her fake phoenix into a real pheasant!

The more Mrs. Zhang thought about it, the more she thought this idea was a good one. She went to the back door of Baihua Tower and tried to get close to the woman guarding the door. Seeing Mrs. Zhang's eager expression, the woman at the door teased her, "What are you doing here, an old woman, in a place where men have fun?"

Mrs. Zhang licked her face and said, "I have a business to discuss with the madam of Baihualou."

The gatekeeper's face instantly darkened. She had thought she was just an ordinary woman looking for her unfilial offspring. She sized up Mrs. Zhang and said with disdain, "Mrs. Li is a very busy woman. She's not someone you can just meet. What kind of business can you possibly negotiate? You old woman, even if you want to sell yourself, no one will buy!"

The gatekeeper's words were harsh, but Mrs. Zhang didn't get angry. She just smiled and said, "I have a beautiful girl for sale. She has a great figure and looks. She will definitely become the mainstay of the building in the future."

The gatekeeper still didn't believe it. She glanced behind Mrs. Zhang and saw no one there. She said impatiently, "Words are not enough. At least bring the person here so we can see who he is and then we can talk."

Mrs. Zhang had no choice but to lower her voice: "The girl I'm talking about is actually my granddaughter. My family can't make ends meet anymore, so we have no choice but to sell her. She and her mother don't know about this yet. I'm putting my reputation on the line and coming here to test the waters. If the price is high, her mother might agree."

The gatekeeper was even more contemptuous. He knew it was a hell of a place, yet he pushed his own granddaughter into it. What a beast! She coldly scolded him, "If you want to sell someone, at least bring the indenture to prove that this girl really exists. Otherwise, get out of here wherever you can."

Mrs. Zhang kept saying yes and hurried home.

When Mrs. Zhang was trying to get her granddaughter's indenture, she was spotted by her daughter-in-law. She excitedly told her daughter-in-law, "We've hit the jackpot! Here's our chance to both make a fortune and take revenge. Just wait and see! But first, I'll borrow your granddaughter's indenture."

Before leaving, Mrs. Zhang did not forget to carry her own indenture with her, so that she could prove that the girl was her granddaughter and she had the right to dispose of her.

"I'm so smart! Humph, you little bitch is still too young to fight with me." Mrs. Zhang was very proud in her heart, but her steps were full of energy. After a while, she rushed back to the back door of Baihua Tower. The gatekeeper was still there.

The gatekeeper looked at the indentures between Mrs. Zhang and her granddaughter and thought to herself that if this old woman really had a granddaughter, it would be a sin to be born into her family...
