Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy

The eldest lady was confined to her room by the Marquis’ wife!

The news spread like wildfire, reaching every corner of the mansion in less than half an incense stick of time.

The eldest daughter was raised in the palm of the hands of the old lady and the marquis. She was the most favored child in the marquis's mansion. Even the marquis's eldest son, Xie Tingyu, could not catch up with her.

The Marquis' wife was indifferent and not competitive. She even handed over the management of the Marquis's mansion to the second wife, An.

What huge mistake did the eldest lady make today that caused the marquis' wife to confine her regardless of the mother-daughter relationship?

Songhe Hall.

Old Madam Xie's graying hair was meticulously combed, and she wore a ruby ​​headband, a dark blue brocade embroidered with a longevity pattern and a pair of jade bracelets on her wrists. She exuded the air of a noble ancestor. She reclined on the chaise longue, her usually dignified and kind face now gloomy.

Nanny Xu had followed the old lady for many years and knew that she was a hypocrite. Especially after Xie Jingyuan was conferred the title of Marquis of Jing'an, she became even more arrogant and hated others disobeying her the most.

Nanny Xu replied cautiously, "Madam, Nanny Yan from Yingxueju sent a little maid to tell me that the Marquis's wife is not feeling well. She barely slept last night and got up late this morning. She missed the time to pay her respects to you. She will come and apologize to you shortly!"

Old Madam Xie's face looked even worse. She put the teacup in her hand heavily on the table and said angrily: "Unwell? She is not sick enough to come to Songhe Hall, but she has the strength to confine Yao'er? She is acting like a big shot in the General's Mansion. She doesn't even look at me, her mother-in-law! She said Yao'er is unruly, but I think she is the most unruly one!!!" Old Madam Xie said as she angrily pounded the table several times.

In order to marry Jiang, Jing Yuan risked his reputation, but he only got the title of a marquis with no benefits. After working diligently in the officialdom for so many years, he is still a fourth-rank official. The Jiang family is unwilling to help at all. He really married a jinx!

Old Madam Xie sighed, watching the girls in the mansion grow up, but she could not rely on the in-laws of her three daughters-in-law.

Among the three daughters-in-law, the Jiang family has the highest status, but Jiang Muxue never takes the girls out to socialize, wasting the Jiang family's connections.

The second daughter-in-law, An, is keen on socializing, but unfortunately she is only the daughter of a sixth-rank official, and her vision and connections are useless.

The third daughter-in-law, Xing, was even worse off. She was just a merchant's daughter and had nothing except a little money. Moreover, the third son was just a concubine's son, not born from Madam Xie's belly, so he was not close to her.

It's probably difficult for a girl in the mansion to find a good marriage! Thinking of this, Mrs. Xie's resentment towards Jiang Muxue and the Jiang family became even stronger.

"Grandma..." Xie Qingyao came in from outside the door, her body shaky and her eyes slightly red, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

When Old Lady Xie saw her granddaughter's delicate face, her gloomy mood improved a little. With this face, the Marquis's Mansion would surely prosper. She waved lovingly at Xie Qingyao, "Come to Grandma!"

Xie Qingyao sat down gently on the low stool at the old lady's feet, and skillfully massaged her legs with her hands. She choked up and said, "Grandma, I was worried about you today. In my anxiety, I forgot the rules and was confined to my room. I am willing to accept the punishment."

She paused briefly, looked up at the old lady, tears welling in her eyes, and said aggrievedly, "But Yao'er doesn't want to miss the Feng Mansion's flower viewing banquet. I heard that Princess Roujia will be attending the banquet, and there may even be a prince coming. Yao'er wants to go and see it for herself."

"Yao'er formed a friendship with the eldest daughter of the Feng family by chance, and I don't want to lose this good friend because of this punishment. I hope my grandmother will pity me and help me beg my mother!" Xie Qingyao said as tears fell. Anyone who saw it would feel pity.

When Old Lady Xie heard about the princess and the prince, her eyes couldn't help but gleam. She was already delighted that her granddaughter had hooked up with the Feng family, and she hadn't expected to have the chance to meet the princess and the prince. She held Xie Qingyao's hand. This granddaughter was indeed the lucky star of the Marquis' Mansion. She said lovingly, "Grandmother can make the decision on such a small matter. Yao'er, don't worry about going to the banquet. Don't worry about being confined."

She patted Xie Qingyao on the shoulder and urged her, "Yao'er, just concentrate on preparing for the Feng Mansion banquet. Then, take out some money from the official account and go to the Tianyi Pavilion to buy a decent dress. You can't lose face for our mansion in front of the noble!"

Xie Qingyao was ecstatic. Although her grandmother claimed to be calm and indifferent, she was actually extremely vain and easy to manipulate. She just mentioned the princess and the prince, and her grandmother hurriedly lifted her house arrest and even agreed to let her make clothes at the Tianyi Pavilion, where "one piece of clothing is worth a hundred pieces of gold". She was extremely proud.

Xie Qingyao smiled sincerely, hugged Old Madam Xie's arm and said, "Yao'er thanks grandma! Yao'er will prepare now, and will definitely not bring shame to the Marquis' Mansion!" Old Madam Xie nodded, and Xie Qingyao retreated briskly.

……

By the time Jiang Muxue had calmed down, it was almost noon.

As soon as she walked out of Yingxueju, Jiang Muxue heard the news that Madam Xie had lifted the ban on Xie Qingyao.

Jiang Muxue's heart was as calm as still water. She had long since realized how foolish Old Madam Xie was. She had been played around by Xie Qingyao all day long and was still smug. In the blink of an eye, Xie Qingyao had pushed her and Old Madam Xie to opposite sides. Not only did she lift her own confinement, but she also slapped Jiang Muxue in the face. What a good trick!

When Jiang Muxue reached the gate of Songhe Hall, she happened to meet Xie Jingyuan who was returning from court.

Xie Jingyuan was dressed in a dark crimson official robe, his posture still upright, his face more mature, handsome and elegant. But Jiang Muxue knew that under this good appearance was a cold heart.

Xie Jingyuan glanced at Jiang Muxue, as if he saw a stranger, and turned to walk into the yard.

Jiang Muxue lowered her eyes slightly. Although she had long been accustomed to Xie Jingyuan's indifference, her heart still ached slightly.

She raised her head and looked at Xie Jingyuan's back. She had avoided him in the past, but now, in order to successfully bring Li'er back and give Li'er a legitimate identity, she was willing to fight these monsters!

Songhe Hall was filled with joy. An from the second house, Xing from the third house, and the children from each house gathered around Old Madam Xie, chatting and laughing. Xie Jingyuan was a very filial man. Every day after returning home from court, he would first pay his respects to Old Madam Xie. They would gather in Songhe Hall at this time every day to listen to what was happening outside.

Jiang Muxue paused for a moment outside the door, listening to the laughter in the house, and smiled sarcastically. She never came to Old Madam Xie's place at this time before, and she didn't know that the Xie family could be so harmonious.

Nanny Yan opened the curtain for Jiang Muxue, and Jiang Muxue walked in gracefully.

When everyone in the room saw Jiang Muxue, their laughter stopped abruptly and it became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Madam Xie glanced at Jiang Muxue with disdain. Her face, which had just been filled with a kind smile, now looked so heavy that it could squeeze out two bowls of water...
