Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy

In the afternoon, in the Song Mansion in the south of the city, a luxurious and gorgeous carriage came out.

In the carriage, Song Zhaoxing's cheeks were red and swollen, and his eyes were gloomy. After half a day of interrogation, neither the gatekeeper nor the night guard had noticed the thief's whereabouts. It was really annoying.

Opposite Song Zhaoxing sat a young boy, who was staring at Song Zhaoxing's face blankly.

"Cough cough." Song Zhaoxing coughed lightly.

The clerk lowered his head quickly, but the more he looked at the swollen face of Shopkeeper Song, the funnier it became. It was truly hilarious. The clerk endured it again and again, but finally gave in, his shoulders shaking.

Song Zhaoxing's face turned red and dark. He kicked the boy hard in the chest and roared, "Get out!"

The young man covered his heart, feeling the sharp pain, and quickly glanced at Shopkeeper Song. The look in Shopkeeper Song's eyes, which seemed to want to kill him, made his heart flutter. Shopkeeper Song was usually very friendly to them, and had never been so harsh. He was so frightened that his legs trembled and he rolled out of the carriage.

Song Zhaoxing was so angry that he kicked the carriage wall hard, and the whole carriage shook. He wanted to turn around and go back home immediately, but he really couldn't bear to give up this opportunity.

He hadn't planned to leave the house for the past few days, but at noon the shop assistant hurried to the mansion looking for him. A merchant from the south had arrived at the shop. He was delivering a batch of jade to the northern kingdom of Linyuan. While passing through, his wife suddenly fell ill and urgently needed a large sum of money for medical treatment. However, his travel expenses were insufficient, so he planned to sell the jade to Ji Baozhai. It was said that the merchant had brought two samples with him, and the shop's head clerk had examined them and confirmed that both were of top quality.

Song Zhaoxing, however, was a mixture of joy and worry. He was of course delighted by this golden opportunity, as the merchant was desperate for cash. If he could negotiate the right price, he could make a killing. However, he was also worried about his embarrassment; he didn't want his embarrassing incident to become known to the entire city.

After half an hour of internal conflict, Song Zhaoxing finally made up his mind to leave. If he let such a good opportunity slip away, he would be heartbroken and regret it for the rest of his life. Moreover, the Song Mansion depended entirely on the income from the shop for food and clothing, and maintaining Xue'er's standard of living would also require a lot of money.

The carriage sped and soon arrived at Ji Baozhai. The driver drove the carriage directly to the door of Ji Baozhai. Song Zhaoxing covered his face with his sleeves, got off the carriage quickly, and went straight to the reception room on the second floor.

A middle-aged man with an elegant appearance, dressed in a brocade robe and with a solemn expression, was pacing anxiously at the door of the reception room, with several followers standing beside him.

The middle-aged man heard footsteps and looked up at the stairs. When he saw Song Zhaoxing's red and swollen cheeks, his steps paused slightly. This middle-aged man was Zou Ping in disguise. He secretly sighed in his heart, "Han Jue, this kid, hit so hard. It hurts just looking at it."

Song Zhaoxing quickly put on a smile and bowed to Zou Ping. Just as he was about to exchange greetings, an attendant came running up the stairs, shouting, "Master, Master, something bad has happened. The lady's condition has suddenly worsened and she's vomiting blood. Please go and see her!"

The middle-aged man was shocked when he heard this. He bowed to Song Zhaoxing and ran out in a hurry. The followers also followed quickly, bringing up a breeze.

The reception room, which had suddenly become empty, was like a gaping mouth, mocking Song Zhaoxing like a monkey being played with. Veins bulged on Song Zhaoxing's forehead, his hands clenched into fists, his knuckles white. He angrily called over a waiter and told him to follow the group immediately.

The young man hurried out of the door, but the street was crowded with people and there was no trace of the group of people. He didn't know which direction to chase them.

After hearing the boy's report, Song Zhaoxing called him a fool, kicked him hard, and told him to go to the inn in the city to inquire.

Song Zhaoxing was in a terrible mood. He covered his face with his sleeves and hurried out of Ji Baozhai, only to see a group of people blocking the door to watch the excitement. It turned out that a clerk had stopped a girl. The girl was wearing coarse cloth and was obviously from the countryside.

Seeing Song Zhaoxing coming out of the shop, the girl's eyes lit up and she hurriedly said to the shop assistant, "Brother, this is the person I'm looking for." She then timidly called out to Song Zhaoxing, "Dad."

Song Zhaoxing paused, his fury still raging when another random person came running up to him, and he was about to kick the girl away when she timidly said, "Dad, Mom asked me to come to you. Brother Tianbao needs money for treatment."

Song Zhaoxing glanced at the girl and felt familiar at first glance. After looking carefully, he was surprised to find that it was the wild girl from Luer Village. He didn't expect her to come to the provincial capital, and she had changed a lot. Song Zhaoxing didn't recognize her for a while.

Song Zhaoxing suppressed the surprise in his eyes, looked at the whispering crowd around him, and said in a deep voice: "Follow me."

Xie Qingli obediently followed Song Zhaoxing into the shop. She lowered her head with a slight smile on her lips. It seemed that her bet was right. He was afraid that the truth about Song Wenxiu's murder would be exposed, so she did not tell Song Zhaoxing what happened at home.

In the second-floor reception room, Song Zhaoxing sat upright on a chair, carefully examining Xie Qingli. Xie Qingli suppressed her hatred, lowered her head slightly, and nervously rubbed the corners of her clothes, performing the clumsiness and restraint of a country girl with impeccable ease.

Song Zhaoxing's heart gradually calmed down. The girl before him was still the same wild girl he was familiar with. Except for being a little taller and fatter, she was no different from before. Her cowering appearance like a country girl made him feel annoyed.

Song Zhaoxing asked coldly, "Why are you here?"

Xie Qingli replied in a low voice: "The money that mother gave to Tianbao brother for treatment is not enough, so she asked me to ask father for some money."

Money, money, this stupid woman He talked about money every three sentences. Song Zhaoxing felt even more depressed and frowned.

"Mom said that nothing is more important than Brother Tianbao's health. Mom said she knew Dad had a fine jade pendant. If Dad doesn't have money, he can pawn the jade pendant first." Xie Qingli lowered his head and spoke in He's tone.

Song Zhaoxing put down the teacup in his hand heavily and asked in a deep voice, "What jade pendant? What did she say?"

Xie Qingli flinched and replied in a trembling voice, "Mother said it was a white jade pendant with words engraved on it. She didn't recognize them, but it looked like a name. She said she secretly wore it for two days and knew it was a good thing."

Song Zhaoxing slammed the table and said angrily: "This bitch, she actually knew about this. I really underestimated her. She even..."

Song Zhaoxing suddenly stopped talking. He looked at Xie Qingli for a long time before saying coldly, "I don't have any jade pendant. Go back!"

Xie Qingli rubbed his fingers and stammered, "But, but mother said that if I can't get the money back, she will come to get it herself in a few days."

"Bitch!" Song Zhaoxing raised his hand and threw the teacup on the table. With a bang, the teacup was smashed into pieces. He was furious: "Tell He not to ask for money under the pretext of treating Tianbao's illness, otherwise I will divorce her!!!" After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left.

"Hahaha" Xie Qingli held back his laughter for a long time and finally laughed out loud. Song Zhaoxing's face was swollen as if he had been stung by a swarm of bees, which was a pleasant sight. Han Jue's slap was good. He would give him the antidote as soon as he got back and end his punishment early!

……

On the other side, Song Zhaoxing covered his face and walked out of Ji Baozhai, then quickly got on the carriage. He was anxious to go back and confirm whether the jade pendant was still there and intact. That bitch He had stolen the jade pendant, but he didn't even notice. Did she know anything else?

Song Zhaoxing was struggling, speculating and denying all the way, over and over again, and he didn't realize that someone was following him secretly.

As the moon rose above the treetops, Song Zhaoxing returned to the Song Mansion. He strode into the main courtyard bedroom, only to find Xue'er and her servants all there. The servants were a little surprised that the master hadn't bathed first.

Lin Xue was surprised to see Song Zhaoxing coming back, and she stood up hastily. But after catching a glimpse of Yingyue's sullen face, she softened her eagerness and asked softly, "Master, you're back. Have you settled the business?"

Song Zhaoxing was worried about the jade pendant and lost his patience with Lin Xue for the first time. He said perfunctorily, "Xue'er, I have no appetite, so I won't have dinner with you. Tonight we have your favorite five-flavor apricot cheese goose. Xue'er, go to the kitchen and tell the maids not to be lazy. If you enjoy the meal, they will all get a reward."

Lin Xue was a little stunned. Song Zhaoxing's behavior today was very different from the past. In the past, he would go to the kitchen in person to watch the chefs prepare, but today he was so abnormal. Lin Xue was a little unhappy, but still obediently walked out the door.

Yingyue stood there without moving. She looked down on Song Zhaoxing, a bootlicker, and did not regard Lin Xue, a greedy and vain woman, as her master. So at this moment she did not follow Lin Xue like a personal maid.

Seeing Yingyue still in the room, Song Zhaoxing angrily scolded, "Have your eyes been eaten by a dog? Madam dotes on you, and you really think you're the master? Go and serve Madam!"

Yingyue glared at Song Zhaoxing, this disgusting man. She wished she could tie him up and bring him to her master right now, but her master had told her to proceed slowly. The most important thing was to find out who was behind him, so she couldn't act rashly. Suppressing her rage, Yingyue turned and chased after Lin Xue.

"What an ignorant maid! I'll get rid of you sooner or later." Song Zhaoxing muttered as he walked to the door and ordered the maid in the courtyard, "Send everyone out of the courtyard. No one is allowed to come in."

Song Zhaoxing slammed the door shut, quickly walked to the bedside, removed the covers, and fumbled around on the bed board until a section of it opened, revealing a secret compartment. He pulled out a brocade box and eagerly opened it. What came into view was a sparkling white jade pendant...
