Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy

The sun rises and the sky is filled with rosy clouds.

When Xie Qingyao was furious at the gate of Jing'an Marquis's Mansion, Xie Qingli was already standing at the gate of Jiang Mansion. She paused slightly, feeling mixed emotions. This was the place where she and her mother had died in her previous life!

The palace gate before him was imposing and majestic, completely different from what he had seen in his previous life. The red lacquer gate stood majestically, its door nails arranged in rows and columns like soldiers in formation, solemn and majestic. Atop the gate hung a black nanmu plaque, inscribed with the words "General's Mansion" in bold, powerful characters, faintly exuding the majesty of the battlefield.

In her previous life, after her mother was divorced by Xie Jingyuan, she followed her mother to the Jiang Mansion for the first time. She didn't have time to take a closer look when she entered, and when she left again, it was the day the Imperial Guards ransacked the house. When she looked back at the Jiang Mansion, the vermilion lacquer gate was mottled, its golden door nails few and far between. The majestic plaque had been ripped down by the Imperial Guards, broken into pieces and thrown carelessly on the road.

In this life, she vowed to protect her mother and the Jiang family and never let the tragedy of her previous life happen again!

Jiang Muxue looked at the gate of the Jiang Mansion with emotion in her heart. Except for the holidays when Xie Jingyuan accompanied her back to visit her relatives, she had never come back alone. She couldn't help feeling homesick.

She gently held Xie Qingli's hand and said softly, "Don't be afraid, everyone in this mansion is very nice, they will all like you!" She was encouraging Xie Qingli and also encouraging herself.

Xie Qingli nodded obediently and followed Jiang Muxue and the others all the way to the depths of the Jiang Mansion. She observed silently as she walked, thinking secretly in her heart.

In the previous life, the Imperial Guards found a stack of letters treasonous to the enemy in the Jiang Mansion, as well as a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, swords, spears, and halberds. Based on this, the Three Courts concluded that the Jiang family not only had rebellious intentions, but had also begun to commit acts of treason.

The presence of these physical evidence in the Jiang residence must have been a premeditated plantation. The Jiang family was heavily guarded, making it extremely difficult for an outsider to sneak into my grandfather's study and place the letters of treason, let alone transport so much gold, silver, jewelry, and weapons into the residence and hide them without anyone noticing. Therefore, there was a strong possibility that there was a traitor within the Jiang family.

Since Xie Jingyuan could confidently say in the court that there was evidence hidden in the Jiang Mansion, he must be a part of this frame-up, or at least an insider.

So, who is the traitor in Jiang Mansion?

As their thoughts flowed, they walked through the spacious corridor, bypassed a hanging flower gate, turned along the long corridor, passed by the exquisite garden, and arrived directly at Madam Jiang's Ruifu Hall.

As soon as they stepped into the yard, they heard a burst of hearty laughter coming from the room.

The maid guarding the door opened the curtain, but Jiang Muxue stopped. Since she got married, she had never heard such a hearty laughter from her mother. If she walked in at this moment, would it disturb her mother's good mood?

Xie Qingli felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Jiang Muxue's hesitation and reluctance to move forward. If his mother had not married Xie Jingyuan, she would have happily walked into the house by now, and even thrown herself into her grandmother's arms and acted coquettishly, right?

She gently took Jiang Muxue's arm and said in a soft voice, "Mother, let's go in! Grandmother is looking forward to seeing us!"

Tears welled up in Jiang Muxue's eyes. She nodded slightly and slowly walked inside following Xie Qingli's steps.

Everyone who was talking and laughing in the room looked at the person who came, stopped talking, and all showed surprise. Jiang Muxue and Xie Qingli looked exactly the same!

Xie Qingli smiled and scanned the faces quickly, most of which were faces she had seen in her previous life.

Among them, the one sitting at the top, surrounded by everyone like a star around the moon, was none other than Old Lady Jiang. She was wearing a sandalwood colored jacket with plum pattern. She had a plump figure and a kind face, with her slightly gray hair combed neatly. Apart from the pair of violet jade bracelets on her wrists, she had no extra decorations, looking simple yet luxurious.

Several aunts sat on chairs, flanked by the maids and servants from their respective rooms. A young woman with eyes like apricot blossoms and a face as white as a silver plate sat beside Old Madam Jiang. She was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a delicate face, and she didn't look like a maid. Xie Qingli had never seen her in his previous life.

The Jiang family was prone to sons, but rarely daughters. In A Niang's generation, my grandmother gave birth to three uncles before becoming pregnant with A Niang after she was over 30, which is why A Niang was extremely favored. By the time of Xie Qingli's generation, his eldest uncle had two sons, his second uncle had three sons, and his third uncle had two sons, yet none of his wives had daughters.

So, Xie Qingli doesn’t have any cousins, who is this woman?

While everyone in the room was still silent, the woman stood up first and said with a bright smile, "Aunt, if Yan'er hadn't known you, I would have thought you were a pair of stunningly beautiful sisters!"

She reached out and grabbed Xie Qingli, smiling slyly, "This must be the sister that my aunt found yesterday! She's so pretty, Yan'er only regrets that she's a girl..."

Old Madam Jiang scolded with a smile, "Bah, you dishonest rascal, let your sister go quickly, don't scare her!" She smiled and said to Xie Qingli, "Don't be afraid, girl, this is your eldest cousin's wife, not a female hooligan. She loves to joke the most, you will know later."

Xie Qingli was slightly stunned. She was sure that she had never seen this cousin's wife in her previous life, nor had she heard Jiang Muxue mention her.

Madam Jiang extended her hand towards Xie Qingli and said with a smile, "Girl, come here and let grandma take a look!"

Xie Qingli first bowed to Old Madam Jiang in a proper manner and said in a crisp voice, "Granddaughter Xie Qingli greets grandma!" Then she took two steps forward and shook Old Madam Jiang's hand.

Old Madam Jiang smiled and pulled Xie Qingli to sit beside her. She said lovingly, "Don't be so reserved, little girl Li. We are a military family and don't follow those empty formalities. Just treat this place as your home!"

Yan'er led Jiang Muxue to sit on the chair below Madam Jiang, then turned around and sat on the other side of Madam Jiang. She hugged Madam Jiang's arm and said coquettishly, "Grandma, now that you have a stunningly beautiful granddaughter, you don't need Yan'er as your granddaughter-in-law anymore!"

Xie Qingli hurriedly stood up upon hearing this. Old Madam Jiang held her down, then turned around and tapped Yan'er's forehead, saying with a smirk, "If I didn't care about you, how could I have raised such a naughty and monkey-like personality like you?" She paused, then continued, "Alright, stop joking around, or you might take it seriously!"

Everyone heard a hint of displeasure in Madam Jiang's tone, so they all smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything else.

Madam Jiang glanced at everyone and said calmly, "All of you go down! I want to have a private chat with Xue'er and her daughter!"

Everyone took their leave, Yan'er was the last one to leave, and before leaving, she couldn't help but look back.

After everyone left, Old Lady Jiang spoke up, "Xue'er, tell me! What exactly happened with Miss Li and Miss Yao?"

Jiang Muxue didn't expect Madam Jiang to be so straightforward. She was silent for a moment before she slowly spoke, "Li'er is my biological daughter. The day I gave birth to Li'er, she was switched with someone else. Xie Qingyao is that villain's daughter, and yet I raised her with luxurious clothes and delicious food for so many years!"

"Li'er was taken to the village of Jiazhou by the Song family, and struggled to survive under the torture of the Song family. If Yu'er had not met Li'er by chance in Jiazhou, we mother and daughter would never have the chance to meet each other in this life!" Her voice became more choked, and by the end she was crying like rain.

Mrs. Jiang's eyes were also covered with a layer of mist. She said in a deep voice: "I remember that Xie Qingyao often came to the mansion when she was a child, but later she came less and less. I thought she had also left the Jiang family!"

She paused and asked sternly, "You forbad her to come. Did you already know about this?!"

Jiang Muxue nodded tearfully and choked up, "Ever since the day I gave birth to Li'er, I felt something was wrong when I woke up from a nap. Moreover, all the maids and servants who served in the delivery room that day died mysteriously overnight, but Xie Jingyuan and his mother didn't believe me..."

Madam Jiang's voice suddenly rose: "Xue'er, come here!"

Jiang Muxue was a little stunned. She didn't know what Old Madam Jiang was going to do. She slowly stood up and walked to Old Madam Jiang.

Madam Jiang grabbed Jiang Muxue's arm and forced her to sit beside her. She then reached out and hit Jiang Muxue several times, crying as she hit her, "I told you to be stubborn. You're as stubborn as a donkey. You deserve a beating!"

"We thought everything was fine with you in the Xie family, but when something as serious as this happened, you only knew how to handle it yourself, and didn't even think of going back to your parents' home for help. Are you a gourd with its mouth sawed off?"

"Now that you've married into the Xie family, are you no longer a daughter of the Jiang family? Did your father and brothers fight so hard on the battlefield just for the Jiang family to be bullied like this?"

As she spoke, Old Madam Jiang hugged Jiang Muxue and burst into tears...
