Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy

Jing'an Marquis Mansion, Li'an Garden.

Xie Qingli sat at her desk, pondering how to bring up her trip to Jiazhou with her mother while she listened to Chunya whisper about the recent trivialities of the mansion. Her thoughts were like drifting clouds, sometimes gathering, sometimes dispersing.

"Miss, the story of the haunted funeral hall that night has become increasingly frightening among the servants in the mansion. There are even rumors that Master Xuan's ghost has a green face and fangs, four arms and eight legs, and looks so terrifying that one glance at him could scare someone to death."

"Cai'er from the Second House said that the Second Master found a random corpse in the mass grave and buried it with Young Master Xuan. I wonder if Young Master Xuan will come out for revenge when he finds out it's not Xiaohong's. These past few days, no one dares to go out to do anything as soon as it gets dark..."

"Miss, I heard that the old lady has been taking Doctor Han's medicine for a few days and can recognize people now, but her limbs cannot move and her speech is a little slurred. But yesterday, the Marquis and the Second Master met in Songhe Hall and had a big argument in front of the old lady. The old lady was so anxious and angry that she couldn't speak."

Xie Qingli looked at Chunya with interest: "Oh? Why are they arguing?"

Chunya raised the corners of her lips, her voice tinged with excitement, "The root of their quarrel was still the ghost story. The Marquis felt that someone must be playing tricks, but the Second Master was convinced. He even insisted on taking the Second Madam back. The Marquis was so angry that his face turned ashen and he slammed the door and left..."

Xie Qingli raised a mocking smile and said calmly, "I didn't expect Xie Jingyuan to be so knowledgeable. He actually guessed it."

Chunya remembered something else. She hurriedly leaned over to Xie Qingli and lowered her voice, saying, "Miss, I heard that the Second Master returned the brother and sister yesterday, but their father is a gambling addict and has already lost all the money he got from selling them. The Second Master has already ordered him to return the money within three days."

She couldn't help but sigh softly, her face filled with pity: "Ah... I wonder where that beastly father will sell those siblings to..."

Xie Qingli's heart moved slightly, but she stopped herself just as she was about to speak. A complex look flashed in her eyes. There were so many people in this world with miserable lives, and she simply couldn't save them all.

Her master had repeatedly warned her: Those who want to achieve great things must not be too soft-hearted. She knew that if she truly wanted to save these people, she had to change the world.

Just as the two of them were silent, Leng Shuang hurried in. She took out an envelope and placed it in front of Xie Qingli, saying coldly, "Miss, this is the news that the Shadow Guard sent back from Xunzhou."

Xie Qingli couldn't wait to open the envelope, which contained detailed information about Shen He's romantic deeds.

The Shen family was a wealthy business family, the richest in Xunzhou. Back when Lu Xiuzhang was still a young man, Lu Li's mother, Zhou, had a good relationship with the old lady of the Shen family, who arranged the marriage between Shen He and Lu Li.

Later, Madam Zhou and Old Madam Shen passed away one after another. Although Lu Xiuzhang became the Tongzhi of Xunzhou, his marriage to the Shen family was considered too high. Although Shen He's parents were reluctant about the marriage, they did not cancel the engagement for the sake of face. Shen He was worried that the Lu family would find out about his absurd behavior, so he acted relatively secretly.

But Lu Xiu Zhang was suddenly promoted to the governor of Jiazhou, and the Lu family moved to Jiazhou. Shen He then began to completely let himself go, living a life of debauchery and reveling every night.

But now the Shen family is considered to be marrying up, and Shen He's parents urge Shen He to go to Jiazhou to propose marriage and try to marry Lu Li into the Shen family as soon as possible.

Shen He thought Lu Li was a nerd and very boring, and did not want to get married so early. However, after delaying for two months, he finally couldn't persuade his parents and set off to Jiazhou to propose marriage.

Seeing this, Xie Qingli's face suddenly changed, and the hand holding the letter paper trembled slightly. She had to set off for Jiazhou as soon as possible.

Leng Shuang saw Xie Qingli had finished reading the letter and hurriedly said, "His Highness asked me to tell you a message. He told you not to worry, as he had already made arrangements."

But Xie Qingli still felt a little uneasy. She quickly picked up a pen, wrote a note and handed it to Leng Shuang, instructing her to pass the message to Han Jue immediately.

Leng Shuang took the order and left. As soon as she stepped out of the room, Ning Dong walked in quickly.

She bowed to Xie Qingli and said anxiously, "Miss, something bad has happened! I just returned to the gate of Yingxue Residence and saw a group of people rushing in aggressively. The person leading them looked like... the Second Madam."

Xie Qingli's expression was slightly stern when he heard this. This An family member was so restless just after returning home!

She stood up suddenly and walked out quickly. But after a few steps, she stopped again. If her mother couldn't even deal with An, how could she leave with peace of mind?

She took a deep breath, still worried about her mother, and walked towards Yingxueju with Ningdong and Chunya.

Walking into the main room of Yingxue Residence, Xie Qingli was shocked by the scene before him. He saw A Niang sitting upright at the head of the table, her expression indifferent, while An Shi stood stiffly in front of A Niang, her face full of flattery.

An's voice trembled slightly. "Sister-in-law, I have been wrong all these years. I have always been jealous of you, openly or covertly. I am narrow-minded and blinded by greed, which is why I have done so many foolish things."

Her eyes were slightly red, and her voice was full of gratitude: "But I didn't expect that when I was at my lowest and most helpless, my sister-in-law didn't add insult to injury, but instead helped me return to the Marquis' Mansion without any grudges. I, An Ning, would never be able to repay my sister-in-law's kindness even if I worked like a slave..."

Jiang Muxue's eyes flashed with surprise. What did Xie Jingliang taking An back home have to do with her? But when she caught a glimpse of Xie Qingli standing at the door, she instantly understood that this powerful daughter must have done something to cause An to misunderstand.

She looked up at An and said calmly, "You don't need to repay me, my sister-in-law. Now that you're back, just live your life peacefully and don't cause any more trouble."

An repeatedly nodded in agreement. She cautiously raised her head to look at Jiang Muxue and asked tentatively, "Sister-in-law, do you want to be the head of the Marquis' Mansion? I can help you..."

Since Old Lady Xie fell ill, Nanny Xu had been in charge of the affairs of the mansion for the time being. However, she was a servant after all, and she couldn't make up her mind about many things. Since the Old Lady and the Marquis hadn't given the Marquis' wife the order to take charge of the household, she didn't dare to take the initiative and go to Jiang Muxue. Now that the Second Lady had returned to the mansion, she went to consult with her on everything.

Jiang Muxue's eyes swept over An indifferently, and the slight favor she had felt for her instantly faded. She smiled softly, a hint of sarcasm in her voice, "I have no interest in being the head of the household. If you want to be the head of the household, please do so."

An Shi didn't notice the difference in Jiang Muxue's tone. She quickly said, "Okay, sister-in-law, I will continue to help you investigate the Qingzhou matter. Don't worry."

The matter of Qingzhou? Jiang Muxue was confused again. She gave Xie Qingli a meaningful look and said to An: "Thank you, sister-in-law. If there is any progress, please let me know in time."

"I will, sister-in-law, don't worry." An Shi answered repeatedly. Seeing that Jiang Muxue seemed to have no interest in talking anymore, she smiled and said, "Then I won't bother you anymore. I'll take my leave first."

She bowed respectfully and walked out with a group of maids and servants.

But a moment later, An returned, her face beaming with joy, her voice filled with excitement. "Oh my! I just reached the gate of Yingxue Residence when I heard the chirping of magpies on the branches. I was just wondering if there was some happy news when the maid came in to report that the palace has sent another decree! This time, it must be to reward the eldest young lady again."

Jiang Muxue and Xie Qingli looked at each other, both of them feeling a sense of foreboding...
