Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy

Chapter 45 Victory in the first battle

"Snapped!"

Old Madam Xie angrily threw the teacup in her hand to the ground. When she let it go, she realized that it was her favorite chrysanthemum-petal jade teacup. She treasured it so much that she never allowed other maids and old women to touch it except for the skillful Madam Xu.

The moment the teacup hit the ground, it broke into pieces, just like Mrs. Xie's heart. She would never have a decent tea set again!

Old Madam Xie raised her head and glared at Jiang Muxue. This bitch had caused everything. She sternly said, "Jiang, do you still have eyes for me, your mother-in-law? How could any random person think of being on the Xie family tree? Don't even think about it!!!"

Xie Jingyuan looked at Madam Xie's hands, which were shaking with anger, and hurried forward to help her sit down. He skillfully rubbed her back, then turned around and angrily scolded Jiang Muxue, "Jiang, the Marquis' Mansion is not a place for you to act wildly. With my mother and I here, that wild girl can't even think of setting foot in the Xie family's door!"

Jiang Muxue guessed that things wouldn't go smoothly, but she didn't expect Xie Jingyuan and his mother to be so disregardful of family ties, preferring to accept the daughter of an enemy with no blood relationship to their own flesh and blood. She was so angry that her eyes were red and her chest was heaving violently. Her Li'er was not some random cat or dog!

Looking at the mother and son who were fawning on the powerful, Jiang Muxue felt regretful in her heart. She had been blinded by greed and agreed to marry Xie Jingyuan, but she couldn't let Li'er be ruined by Xie Jingyuan!

She suppressed her anger and said coldly, "Since the old lady and the marquis are unwilling to accept Li'er, then the only way is to divorce. I will bring Li'er back to the Jiang family to raise her. I believe my father and mother will be very happy."

Jiang Muxue had a very unhappy quarrel with her father because of marrying Xie Jingyuan. After marriage, she had less contact with her parents. She actually didn't know whether her parents were heartbroken or whether they would still be willing to accept her.

"No!" Xie Jingyuan blurted out. He didn't know why he objected, but he would never allow Jiang Muxue to escape from his control.

Old Madam Xie was so angry that she almost overturned the table. Her son's reaction made her angry, but she managed to hold it back. The Jiang family is now in its heyday. If she falls out with the Jiang family, many people will come to step on the Xie family, so she can't lose the Jiang family as a backer!

But Old Madam Xie found it hard to swallow this insult, so she snorted coldly, "If you dare to divorce, you'll spend the rest of your life in seclusion, and there's no chance of living the luxurious life you have now. Stop trying to scare people with divorce. My Xie family wasn't built to be scared!"

Jiang Muxue sneered: "Of course I dare, I wonder if the Marquis dares? Why not go get the pen, ink, paper and inkstone now..."

Seeing Jiang Muxue's determined look, Xie Jingyuan knew she was serious, so he tried to smooth things over, saying, "Mother was just angry. Ah Xue, don't take it seriously. It's just a small matter. Why should we get to the point of divorce?"

When the two were in love, Xie Jingyuan called Jiang Muxue "Axue". After hearing this name again after many years, Jiang Muxue felt it was extremely ironic and disgusting!

Xie Jingyuan squeezed Madam Xie's hand, and Madam Xie nodded reluctantly. Xie Jingyuan then continued, "Since Li'er is the bloodline of the Marquis' Mansion, of course we have to take her back. When she comes back, we'll record her in the family tree. Will Ah Xue be satisfied with that?"

Jiang Muxue didn't seem to appreciate it. She glanced at Xie Jingyuan coldly and said in a deep voice, "I will arrange someone to pick up Li'er immediately. Don't bother the old lady and the marquis. I hope you will remember our promise today!" After that, she turned and left Songhe Hall.

Only then did Old Lady Xie realize that Jiang Muxue no longer called her mother-in-law. She was so angry that she picked up a porcelain vase to smash it, but after thinking about it, she put the vase down carefully. Songhe Hall was full of her favorite things, and if she smashed one, there would be one less.

Xie Jingyuan hurried forward and grabbed Madam Xie. Madam Xie pointed at Jiang Muxue's departing back and said tremblingly, "Listen, listen! She's really so bold!"

Xie Jingyuan naturally tried to comfort him again.

……

As Jiang Muxue stepped out of the gate of Songhe Hall, a gentle breeze blew across her face, its warmth mingled with the fragrance of spring flowers, and her mood subconsciously brightened. After years of being humble and subservient to Old Madam Xie, she had never felt so comfortable as she did today. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

She knew that this matter would not be resolved so easily, but it was still worth being happy about the victory in the first battle!

Outside Songhe Hall, everything seemed quiet, but in the dark, maids and servants were waiting in the dark to gather information from each room. Seeing Jiang Muxue come out, Nanny Yan and Mingxia hurried forward to support her, and the group went straight back to Yingxue Residence.

When the maids and servants saw Jiang Muxue come out calmly, they all went back to report the news.

Yaofang Pavilion.

Xie Qingyao's boudoir was a mess. Everything that could be thrown in the room had been thrown. Xie Qingyao still felt unsatisfied. She turned to look at Luqi and Ziying who were kneeling on the ground, picked up a feather duster and swung it at them.

Luqi and Ziying were Xie Qingyao's top maids. They had the unfortunate luck of being on duty today. Ever since Xie Qingyao returned from Songhe Hall, she had punished them by making them kneel. Their faces were pale, yet they dared not utter a single sound. If anyone in the courtyard heard them, they would only be beaten even more severely.

Xie Qingyao was gentle, virtuous, and approachable in front of others, but behind the scenes she was cruel and ruthless, taking her anger out on the maids. To outsiders, they seemed to be the most respectable servants serving the most favored eldest daughter in the mansion, but in reality, they were not as comfortable as the little maids in the courtyard.

After a while, blood had seeped into Luqi and Ziying's clothes, and Xie Qingyao was exhausted from fighting. She threw away the feather duster and sat down on the edge of the bed dejectedly.

After the initial shock, Aunt Hua had already calmed down. She waited for Xie Qingyao to vent her anger, then waved her hand to signal Luqi and Ziying to leave. She threatened in a cold voice, "If you dare to leak what happened just now, you'll lose your parents' lives!"

Xie Qingyao and the other maids were all servants specially selected by Nanny Hua. The lives of the entire family were in the hands of the Marquis' Mansion, so it was naturally very easy for them to be controlled.

Luqi and Ziying stood up with difficulty and supported each other as they walked towards the door.

"How can we go out like this? Are you trying to tell the world?" Aunt Hua's cold voice came faintly from behind them. The two of them gritted their teeth and stood up straight, trying their best to endure the pain, and retreated as usual.

Nanny Hua came to the bedside and caressed Xie Qingyao's shoulders lovingly.

Since childhood, Aunt Hua has been Xie Qingyao's backbone and the person closest to her. At this moment, she hugged Aunt Hua as if she had grabbed the last straw and sobbed, "Aunt, Aunt, my heart aches. Why did mother say that I am not of the Marquis's bloodline?"

She raised her tear-stained cheeks and looked at Aunt Hua expectantly: "Aunt, you watched me grow up. I was born as the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's Mansion. I am the bloodline of the Marquis's Mansion, right?"

Without waiting for Aunt Hua to answer, she muttered to herself, "But, what if I really am not her? If I am not Xie Qingyao, then who am I?" As she spoke, tears rolled down her face again.

Seeing Xie Qingyao in such pain, Aunt Hua's heart also ached. This was the person she had carefully taken care of and raised. She was such a small girl at the beginning, but now she has grown into a graceful young lady. She will never allow anyone to hurt her!

Nanny Hua held Xie Qingyao's hand and said in a firm tone: "The eldest lady will always be the legitimate daughter of the Marquis' Mansion. Even if I risk my life, I will not allow anyone to change this!" A fierce light flashed in her eyes. No matter who it was, she would not allow anyone to block the eldest lady's way.

Xie Qingyao's heart finally settled down. Aunt Hua had always been the most resourceful person and would definitely do what she said. She hugged Aunt Hua and couldn't help but burst into tears.

Aunt Hua stroked Xie Qingyao's hair and silently said in her heart, "Cry! You will grow up after crying, and everything will be fine..."
