Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy

The sky was clear and the air was fresh, with a gentle breeze. It was the day when the eldest princess held a chrysanthemum-viewing banquet, and everyone in the marquis's mansion was filled with joy.

In front of the Marquis's Mansion, Xie Qingyao was wearing an ice-blue long dress, which was exquisitely embroidered and the hem dragged on the ground. A plain satin ribbon was tied around her waist, which was slender enough to be held in one hand, highlighting her graceful figure. Her long hair was as black as ink, tied up with a golden hairpin into a high bun. Her eyes were bright and her gaze was bold. She looked bright and elegant, like a peony in bud.

Xie Qingqi glanced at Xie Qingyao coldly, and her face couldn't help but darken. She also wanted to show off like this, but her mother had just been deprived of the power to head the family, and her brother was trying to commit suicide for Hong'er all day long. Her mother was too busy to take care of her at all. Although she wore the best clothes, they were a far cry from the clothes in Tianyi Pavilion.

Xie Qingman was dressed even more shabbily, and she looked at Xie Qingqi with great uneasiness. Although Concubine Luo testified for Xie Tingxuan that night, she ended up making things worse. In the past few days, things were not going well for the second house, so Xie Jingliang took out all his anger on Concubine Luo. Concubine Luo was in a panic all day long, and Xie Qingman also lived in fear.

Old Madam Xie walked out slowly from the gate, her face full of smiles as she looked at Xie Qingyao lovingly, thinking that it was worthy of being the Tianyi Pavilion, as this dress made Yaoer look like a fairy. Yaoer would surely attract the attention of the princes and grandchildren today, and the day when the Xie family would rise to prominence would not be far away!

Her eyes then swept over Xie Qingqi and Xie Qingman, and her brows couldn't help but frown. Qi'er was dressed like a beautiful girl from a small family, and it was obvious at a glance that she was the daughter of a minor official. Man'er looked panicked, like a timid little maid!

Just at this moment, Xie Qingrong quietly poked her head out from the door. She looked around and did not see her elder sister, and she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Old Madam Xie had turned her head to look at her, and Xie Qingrong had no choice but to walk out of the door reluctantly, revealing her gorgeous and gaudy clothes and her hair full of pearls and jade. She was a little embarrassed, not knowing why her mother dressed her like this today.

Old Madam Xie frowned tightly. Xie Qingrong was dressed like a nouveau riche. Xing, a merchant girl, really didn't understand the principle of overdoing it!

She was about to ask Xie Qingrong to change her clothes, but Xie Qingyao said softly, "Grandma, it's getting late, we should set off!"

Xie Qingyao glanced at the other people indifferently, and couldn't help but sneer in her heart. The stupidity of these people was such a good foil, and the way they looked at the moment was just right!

Old Madam Xie looked up at the sky. Sure enough, there was no time to dress again. She looked at her granddaughters and said loudly, "The eldest princess is so kind that you have the honor of attending today's chrysanthemum viewing banquet. In front of such a noble lady, you must be careful with your words and actions and behave well. Don't bring shame to the Marquisate!"

Xie Qingyao took the lead and bowed to Old Madam Xie, saying softly, "Don't worry, Grandma. I will follow your instructions!"

Fortunately, there was still Xie Qingyao who could show off. Old Madam Xie nodded with satisfaction. Suddenly, she found that Xie Qingli was not there. Her face couldn't help but darken, and she said in a cold voice: "Hurry up and urge the eldest lady!" The little maid hurriedly took the order and left.

The more Old Lady Xie thought about it, the angrier she became. If the eldest princess had not given Xie Qingli a special invitation and told her to attend the banquet, she really didn't want Xie Qingli to go. This granddaughter who grew up in the countryside was not presentable and would most likely bring shame to the Marquis's Mansion!

After a cup of tea, Xie Qingli finally arrived. She was wearing a lavender dress with light white plum blossoms embroidered on the hem. Her hair was casually tied into a loose bun with a lavender lily flower inserted diagonally, which exuded a sense of elegance in her casualness.

A trace of anger welled up in Old Madam Xie's heart. Xie Qingli was so casual at such an important banquet. She was indeed a petty country girl.

She glared at Xie Qingli fiercely, pointed at the two carriages waiting at the door, and said in a deep voice: "It's getting late, get in the carriage!"

The carriage in front was spacious and luxurious, and was Xie Jingyuan's usual carriage.

Xie Qingyao held her head high and strode forward to get on the first carriage first. Xie Qingqi followed quickly. Each of them brought a maid, and the carriage suddenly became a little crowded.

Xie Qingrong and Xie Qingman stood in front of the door, hesitant about how to get on the bus.

Xie Qingyao lifted the car curtain and curled her lips slightly towards Xie Qingli, revealing a mocking smile.

“Tap, tap, tap~”

Suddenly, a team of royal guards marched in orderly steps towards the Marquis's Mansion, and a luxurious carriage was surrounded by the royal guards.

Princess Fu'an lifted the curtain of her carriage and saw Xie Qingli standing at the door of the Marquis' Mansion. She said happily, "Sister Li'er, you haven't left yet. That's great. Come and get in my carriage."

Xie Qingli bowed slightly to Princess Fu'an and quickly got into Princess Fu'an's carriage.

The carriage started immediately and soon drove away, leaving everyone in the marquis's mansion frozen in place.

Xie Qingyao looked in the direction the carriage left, and her delicate eyebrows were instantly filled with anger. She clenched her fists and tried her best to suppress the jealousy in her heart.

Looking at Xie Qingyao's distorted face, Xie Qingqi couldn't help but chuckle, as if she had found a ray of light in the haze, and her mood instantly improved a lot.

Over there, in Princess Fu'an's carriage, Princess Fu'an was talking incessantly. She had been recuperating in the palace for the past few days and she was a little depressed.

Xie Qingli looked at the imperial guards and asked doubtfully, "Princess, those imperial guards...?"

Princess Fu'an blushed slightly and whispered, "I came out secretly without telling my brother. He told me to stay in the palace to recuperate and not to run around."

She raised her arm, winked gently at Xie Qingli, and chuckled softly, "Li'er knows best how my wound is. It has healed after a few days of recuperation, but my royal brother is worried that my aunt and cousin will harm me, so he doesn't agree to let me go to the chrysanthemum viewing banquet."

"But if anything happens to me at the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet, Father will never let them off easily. They wouldn't be so bold. My brother is worrying for no reason. Besides, I've attended the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet every year since I was ten, so I naturally don't want to miss it this year, so I went to ask Father for permission."

"My father wasn't worried about my aunt and cousin, but he was worried about another frightened horse incident, so he assigned these imperial guards to protect my safety."

Xie Qingli frowned slightly. On the day when Princess Fu'an frightened her horse, the person Leng Shuang had been following eventually entered the Princess's Mansion. The grudge between the Princess's Mansion and Princess Fu'an was probably more than just a matter of a whip!

The eldest princess and Princess Roujia are not upright people. If they use some shady tricks and Princess Fu'an gets into trouble on the way to the banquet, can Emperor Yingtian still hold them accountable?

The assassins from that day couldn't help but emerge in her mind. If there were a group of assassins like that lying in ambush on the road, the royal guards outside the car would have no power to resist.

Master had investigated the group of assassins from the Blood Flood Hall for a long time, searching every aristocratic family in Shengjing City, but he couldn't find any family with the plum blossom-shaped mark. Therefore, it was very likely that they were assassins secretly trained by a royal relative.

With the power of the eldest princess, it is not difficult to support one or two such people.

Xie Qingli wore a faint smile, but her mind was racing with thoughts of how to break the impasse. Her eyes flickered as she whispered, "Princess, it's still early. Do you want to go see something fun?"
