Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy

Second Madam An was overjoyed to see that Old Madam Xie hated Jiang Muxue so much. She had been promoted to the most capable daughter-in-law in her mother-in-law's eyes, and the general's legitimate daughter was no more capable than her.

In this mansion, the mother-in-law's words were like imperial decrees, and even the Lord Marquis had to obey them. So, as long as she could appease her mother-in-law, the mansion's backyard would be hers from now on.

An smiled and stared at Jiang Muxue and said, "Oh, sister-in-law, such a precious person, if you are not feeling well, don't run back and forth. If you are exposed to the wind and sun, your condition will get worse. If others don't know the inside story, they will probably blame the mother-in-law for setting rules and treating her harshly."

Upon hearing this, Madam Xie and Xie Jingyuan's faces both turned dark.

Mrs. An was very satisfied with their reactions and continued to fan the flames, "What's more, if the eldest sister-in-law passes her illness to mother-in-law, I'm afraid we can't afford it."

Xie Jingyuan frowned, and said angrily, "Jiang, if you're not feeling well, just stay in Yingxueju and recuperate. Don't run around!"

Jiang Muxue ignored Xie Jingyuan. She swept her cold eyes over everyone in the room and said indifferently, "I have something to discuss with the old lady and the marquis. Everyone else please go away!"

Xie Jingyuan hadn't spoken to Jiang Muxue for a long time. Jiang Muxue's disregard made him slightly dazed. The scene seemed like the first time they met. The arrogant, cold and distant Jiang Muxue shattered his self-esteem and aroused his desire to conquer, which led to everything that happened later.

Seeing Xie Jingyuan staring at Jiang Muxue in a daze, Old Lady Xie snorted in dissatisfaction. This son, whom she was so proud of, had finally become tired of Jiang. She didn't want her son to be fascinated by Jiang again. If she hadn't been attracted by the Jiang family's status, she would never have allowed her son to do such a shameful thing.

Madam Xie coughed heavily.

Xie Jingyuan came back to his senses. He was secretly annoyed at his own loss of composure. He looked at Jiang Muxue coldly and said, "Everyone in this room is from the Marquis' Mansion. What can you say that you can't tell others? Just say it."

Jiang Muxue curled the corners of her lips and jokingly said, "My Lord, are you sure everyone in this room can hear it?" She glanced at everyone and finally set her eyes on Xie Qingyao.

Xie Qingyao felt a surge of unease. She was unwilling to miss this opportunity, so she pulled her grandmother against her mother. She was forced to do this by her mother. She gripped her handkerchief tightly, secretly encouraging herself. Her choice was right. Her grandmother was the one who made the decisions in the mansion, and it was her grandmother who had lifted her house arrest. Her mother should target her grandmother, not her.

But Jiang Muxue's gaze was too cold, causing Xie Qingyao to feel palpitations. She could only lean against the back of the chair to maintain her dignity.

Jiang Muxue opened her red lips slightly and spoke word by word, "Xie Qingyao is not the daughter I gave birth to back then. She is not of the Marquis's bloodline."

Xie Qingyao wasn't the Marquis's child? Like a drop of water dropped into a frying pan, the room exploded instantly.

Xie Qingyao was as pale as a sheet of paper, as if struck by lightning. What was her mother talking about? She wasn't her daughter, not of the Marquis's bloodline? Then who was she?

After the initial shock, Old Lady Xie quickly thought through the pros and cons. Xie Qingyao was the daughter that the Marquis's family had spent more than ten years cultivating. She was about to serve the Marquis's family, and she couldn't let her efforts go to waste. Regardless of whether this matter was true or false, Xie Qingyao must be the eldest daughter of the Marquis's family.

Old Madam Xie's face turned pale. She slammed the table and refuted, "That's pure nonsense! Jiang, the Marquis and I have treated you well. Yao'er is your own flesh and blood, yet you slander her like this! Have you lost your mind?"

Jiang Muxue calmly sat down on the chair and smiled gently, "Mother-in-law, you don't believe me? Not to mention that Xie Qingyao looks nothing like me or the Marquis..." She paused, took out a few pieces of letter paper from her bosom, shook them gently, and said, "I have evidence here!"

Seeing the situation getting increasingly out of control, Old Lady Xie looked around at everyone and roared, "Get out!"

Although everyone was eager to see the excitement again, they did not dare to disobey Old Madam Xie. They all looked back every few steps and retreated in a shoving manner.

Xie Qingyao's mind went blank. She stared at the letter in Jiang Muxue's hand, as if awaiting the judgment of fate. Behind her, the always considerate Aunt Hua also turned pale and stood there in a daze.

The old lady said coldly, "Madam Hua, why don't you help the young lady go back to rest?" She turned to Madam Xu and ordered, "Everyone, retreat outside the Songhe Hall courtyard and guard the gate. No one is allowed to approach, otherwise I will not let them off lightly!"

Several people did not dare to disobey the order and left Songhe Hall one after another.

Jiang Muxue and three others were the only ones left in the room.

Old Madam Xie and Xie Jingyuan took the letter, read through it quickly, and were secretly surprised. They had already known about the jade pendant. Now that the jade pendant had reappeared in the world, coupled with the appearance and birthmark, the child replacement story was most likely true.

But one is a lady from a noble family who was bought with real money by the Marquis's mansion, and the other is a country girl who is struggling to survive in a remote village. It goes without saying who is more important. She is just a little girl and will belong to someone else's family sooner or later. Blood relationship is not that important.

Xie Jingyuan looked at Old Madam Xie, who nodded slightly, and the mother and son reached a tacit agreement.

Xie Jingyuan turned to look at Jiang Muxue and said coldly, "Yu'er is young and inexperienced, and it's possible that he made a mistake. The matter of bloodline cannot be lost. The Marquis' Mansion will not adopt a country girl for no reason. What do you want by making such a fuss today?"

Jiang Muxue curled her lips and smiled: "Of course the child of the Marquis' Mansion cannot be left outside. Naturally, we must take her back, give her a legitimate identity, and double compensate her for the suffering she has endured over the past ten years."

Her tone turned cold, and she gritted her teeth and said, "The Song family is so audacious that they dared to replace the prince with a cat. They have treated my daughter so badly over the years, and I will never forgive them."

The old lady snorted coldly, "The Song family is just an ordinary merchant. How could they have the ability to steal and replace the child of my mansion? It's simply a fantasy. Moreover, the maids and servants who handled it back then are all dead. How can we be sure that Yao'er is fake and that village girl is real?"

Jiang Muxue said calmly, "Since my mother-in-law doesn't believe me, I'm willing to do a blood test. I wonder if Xie Qingyao dares!"

She took a leisurely sip of tea and said, "Those maids and servants all died overnight. It must have been intentional. The person behind this must have had some serious plans. They deliberately exchanged Xie Qingyao for the Marquis' Mansion. Xie Qingyao must be no ordinary person. Are you sure you want to keep such a dangerous person by your side?"

Xie Jingyuan was slightly shaken. He had not lived enough and did not want to die in a confused manner like those maids and old women.

Old Madam Xie was unmoved. She firmly believed in her own judgment. Yao'er grew up under her care and was the kindest and most intelligent girl. How could she do anything to hurt them?

She sneered, "Yao'er is just a delicate little girl, how could she be in any danger? Besides, Jiang, you've been Yao'er's mother for so many years, and you've broken off the grace of raising her so easily. How could there be such a cold-blooded person like you in this world!"

Madam Xie said in a firm tone, "Yao'er is so outstanding that everyone can see it. Such an outstanding daughter will definitely bring honor to the Marquisate. As for that country girl, she will probably only bring discredit to the Marquisate, so I will not agree to take her back!"

Seeing Jiang Muxue's eyes turn cold, Xie Jingyuan hurriedly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Since that country girl is of the Marquis's bloodline, we must not let her wander around outside. We can bring her back and send her to a manor in the suburbs of Beijing, where she can be raised in luxury. This will also fulfill the father-daughter relationship between us."

Jiang Muxue stood up suddenly and said in a cold voice, "Li'er must be the legitimate daughter of the Marquis' Mansion and be officially recorded in the Xie family tree. There is no room for negotiation on this matter..."
