Reincarnated as the Abandoned Daughter of a Marquis's Mansion: I Take Control of My Life

Add chili oil to the pot, and looking at this pot of bright red color, my mouth is watering.

At home, Bixia was strict and didn't allow Su Yinyin to eat this often, because Su Yinyin had to eat it very spicy.

For the sake of her health, Bixia controls the amount of chili peppers she eats.

But little did Bixia know that this thing was only truly satisfying when eaten extremely spicy.

Inside a carriage sat Young Master Li (Li Yanche, General Li) and Madam Qin, the matriarch of the Zhenguo Marquis's mansion.

"Che'er, why is Lili crying?"

Qin Shi truly didn't know why Lin Lili was crying. Lin Lili didn't come over to tell her either, only informing her maid that she couldn't come to eat.

The head maid casually asked why she wasn't eating, and the maid stammered that the young lady had been crying, and it was related to the young master.

Hearing this, she assumed that her son had been a bit harsh with Lili.

Although there was a desire to strengthen family ties, it was clear that her son disliked his cousin.

She couldn't possibly create a rift between herself and her son just so he could get married.

After spending some time with her, I realized that Lili is not magnanimous enough, petty, and narrow-minded. She is not steady enough and cannot live up to the expectations of a matriarch of a family.

“Mother…” Li Yanche recounted what had happened and suggested, “It would be best to send Cousin Lili back as soon as possible so that her mother can discipline her.”

In Li Yanche's eyes, Lin Lili had no connection with him and no feelings for him.

She was not unaware of her little schemes; it was all wishful thinking on her part.

In his heart, there was only his cousin Yinyin. No other woman could enter his heart.

After thinking for a moment, Qin said, "Alright, once we get to the capital, I'll write to your aunt and arrange for someone to send her back."

She usually seems so well-behaved and sensible, I never expected her to be so sharp-tongued and mean. I can't let Lili corrupt my daughter.

The old woman was brought in and instructed them in a low voice.

Seeing that his mother had listened to him, Li Yanche didn't say anything more.

Just as he was about to instruct the servant next to him to send some food to Miss Su, he heard, "General, I have something to report."

"What's the matter?"

The servant standing next to the carriage saw that the young master inside was not moving, so he knew that the lady could listen.

"Young Master, that young lady is eating some very flavorful food, and this servant couldn't bear it... so I came to report to you."

This servant boy, Qingqiu, is in charge of Li Yanche's daily life. He enjoys a high status with Li Yanche.

I just learned that my master was very kind to that girl, and out of curiosity, I want to go and find out.

Then I saw Miss Su cooking, and it tasted really good... That girl was really pitiful.

Without a second thought, she ran to find the eldest young master.

Upon hearing this, Li Yanche felt a pang of anxiety, but his actions remained calm and unhurried, making him difficult to understand.

"Mother, I'll go check on you. Please have your meal first."

“My son, let’s go together. Your mother also wants to see this poor girl.”

Qin's thinking is conservative and traditional, but she does not believe that a girl traveling alone is a bad person.

It's probably out of necessity, or they had their own difficulties?

But her own son had never witnessed the methods those women used.

Since my son is so interested in this person, I must keep an eye on things for him.

Although she did not object to her son taking a concubine, she insisted that the family background be respectable and the marriage be between equals.

Qin thought a lot, but she didn't realize that the men in the Li family were all devoted to their wives, never taking concubines, and were all passionate lovers.

Lady Qin was happy and fortunate. Lord Li had only one wife in his entire life, never taking a concubine or even a maidservant.

Lord Li cherished and respected Lady Qin. Although life was poor during his years on the frontier, the family was happy together, which is why Lady Qin looked younger than her peers.

"Why is this girl dressed so thinly?" Although her face could not be seen, from a distance, it was clear that the girl was dressed in very little clothing in the cold wind.

They crouched beside the fire, looking as if they were trying their best to get closer to the fire and keep warm.

A pang of inexplicable heartache shot through my heart. Qin had two sons and a daughter. The eldest, Li Yanche, was known as the Invincible General.

This general's title was earned by Li Yanche after a full fifteen years of hard work, from a lowly soldier to a general.

Li Yanche joined the army with his father when he was eight years old, and he is now twenty-three. He is still unmarried, which is a great worry for Qin Shi.

That's why I wrote to ask my sister's youngest daughter to come over so they could get to know each other.

Unexpectedly, Che'er treated Lili like an older brother.

I never expected that my niece, Lili, would be so disappointing.

The second son, Li Yanlun, passed the imperial examination at the age of fourteen and was unwilling to continue his studies. His wish was to roam the world and become a great hero.

Four years have passed, and he writes every six months to recount what he has seen and heard.

In the quiet of the night, Madam Qin often lamented the fate of her youngest son.

Given the current situation, with a marquis and a general in the family, every step is fraught with danger. Fortunately, the second son's heart is set on the martial world, so we have granted his wish.

The youngest daughter, Li Lan, was sixteen, in the prime of her youth. Having grown up in the frontier, she had a carefree and outspoken personality, which gave Qin Shi a headache.

Their eldest daughter, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family, has a personality unlike that of a refined lady; she's more like a chivalrous woman. She dresses up as a chivalrous woman all day long, and if not watched carefully, she'll sneak out to explore the world.

This family's return to the capital was not only due to the Emperor's invitation, but more importantly, because Che'er and Lan'er had both reached marriageable age.

All her close friends already have children and grandchildren, while she herself is constantly troubled by these three children.

As they approached, Su Yinyin was still engrossed in eating.

The world is vast, but at this moment, her bowl of noodles is the most important thing.

Qin gently covered her nose and mouth with a handkerchief, her eyes already moist. A nameless pity welled up within her.

He turned and instructed his personal maid to go find some food.

Li Yanche couldn't bear to watch any longer. During the war, they would even eat tree bark if they could fill their stomachs. But they were men.

He changed his tone, saying, "Miss Su, please stop eating. I've already instructed the servants to prepare something. Please wait a moment."

Only after hearing Li Yanche's voice did Su Yinyin put the bowl down on the ground.

After setting down the chopsticks, I slowly raised my head. I hadn't failed to notice them.

Besides being grumpy when she wakes up, Su Yinyin also has a hobby: she loves to eat and hates being disturbed while she's eating.

So the family members have all learned to be smart and won't disturb Su Yinyin when she's doing those two things.

At this moment, Su Yinyin's temper was rising and she was about to explode when she saw a face that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

Searching through the original owner's memories, this familiar yet unfamiliar face... how come it looks so much like her aunt? Qin Shi, the matriarch of the Zhenguo Marquis's mansion?

Su Yinyin was already old enough to remember when the Zhenguo Marquis's family moved to the frontier.

Moreover, Qin's face looked the same as it had back then, with little change, so Su Yinyin recognized her aunt at a glance.
