The entire Marquis's mansion regrets it? Too late, their little one has become the darling of t

Ignoring the maid's attempt to help her put on an outer garment, Cui Ruixin pushed them aside and ran outside.

"Xi'er, Xi'er, you've finally come." Cui Ruixin pulled her into her arms, tears streaming down her face.

Chen Dongxi was completely dumbfounded the moment he saw her.

Who is this disheveled woman in front of me?

Where did her noble, dignified, gentle and kind aunt go?

"Madam, the Marquis has said that no outsiders are allowed to see you." The maid at the door tried to usher Chen Dongxi out.

Cui Ruixin pulled Chen Dongxi behind her and refused to let her go.

"Are you trying to drive me to my death? She's just a child, can't she even talk to me? Call the Marquis over and ask him face to face."

Seeing that Cui Ruixin looked like she was about to go crazy.

Another maidservant guarding the door tugged at the man.

"Aunt Chen, let her be. She's just a child. If she makes a fuss, the Marquis will only get angry."

They didn't know what mistake the lady had made, but the Marquis had been in a really bad mood lately, and no one dared to provoke him.

Upon hearing this, the maidservant didn't say anything more, turning a blind eye and letting Chen Dongxi into the house.

"Aunt, what happened?" Chen Dongxi could clearly sense that something had happened to the eldest branch of the family.

And the matter is quite significant.

"Xi'er, please help your aunt. If you don't help her, your aunt will die." Cui Ruixin held her hand, tears welling up instantly.

She thought about it all night.

She had no affairs with anyone, so perhaps the child in her womb is an evil spirit.

This matter should not be publicized.

Her people couldn't go out to find the master, and the Marquis's mansion wanted nothing more than to put her to death, so she could only beg her mother for help.

Her mother would never watch her die.

"Aunt, what exactly happened?" Chen Dongxi was startled when she heard how serious it sounded.

"Your aunt has been wronged. You need to go to the Cui family and deliver the letter to the old lady of the Cui family for your aunt. Can you do that?" Cui Ruixin looked at her earnestly.

"In this family, your aunt only trusts you. You are her only hope."

Chen Dongxi was initially hesitant.

But upon hearing her say that, she instantly felt a sense of shared misfortune.

In this family, she only trusted her aunt.

“Okay! Xi’er will help you!” She nodded emphatically.

Cui Ruixin smiled instantly. She quickly wrote a letter and handed it to Chen Dongxi.

Fearing she might never see her mother again, they gave her a keepsake.

"Take these two items to Minister Cui's residence, which is located on the west side of Guangning Gate. You must give them to Old Madam Cui in person. Do you understand?" Cui Ruixin confirmed again.

“West of Guangning Gate, Xiejie Street. Cui Shangshu’s residence. I personally handed it to the old lady.” Chen Dongxi repeated, then nodded, “Aunt, I’ve remembered.”

"Okay, then I'll leave everything to you. If you handle this well, from now on, you'll be my own daughter!" Cui Ruixin made a grand promise to her without any hesitation.

"Can you pick me up from Uncle Yu's place?" Chen Dongxi asked impatiently.

“As long as they don’t stop me, I will naturally let you move in and live with me every day.” Cui Ruixin also wanted to keep her by her side.

The old lady would definitely not allow Ziche and the others to see her.

Only Chen Dongxi, an outsider, can be used.

With Chen Dongxi by her side, the old lady didn't dare to act so forcefully.

She could kill the maidservant beside her, but she absolutely could not kill the daughter of the third brother's savior.

The third brother will fight her to the death.

"Okay." Chen Dongxi happily agreed and left the courtyard of the main house.

The agate guarding the door was pacing anxiously.

Earlier, when the First Madam brought the person in, the servants wouldn't let her in, fearing that something might happen to Chen Dongxi inside.

Seeing her emerge safely, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss Xi'er, what does the Madam want with you?" she couldn't help but ask.

"It's nothing, I'm just in a bad mood and wanted to chat with my aunt." Chen Dongxi knew it was a serious matter and didn't tell anyone.

Agate had a gut feeling that she was hiding something, but since she wouldn't say anything, there was nothing she could do.

However, she privately told the lady about it.

"Keep an eye on her, just make sure she doesn't cause any serious trouble." Shen Jinzhu didn't want to bother with her anymore.

As long as she doesn't cause any trouble, she won't mistreat her in terms of food and clothing.

But she will definitely not think about raising her properly like she did at the beginning.

"Yes," Agate replied.

After receiving the letter from Cui Ruixin, Chen Dongxi tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

How could she leave the mansion and deliver the letter for her aunt?

Agate followed her around every day, even guarding her outside when she went to the toilet. Without the token on Agate's body, she couldn't leave the house.

After thinking about it, she approached Yu Kangjing.

"Uncle Yu, I've been in the capital for a long time but haven't had a chance to properly explore the city. Could you take me out for some fun?"

Yu Kangjing was busy with official business, so he couldn't find the time to go shopping with her.

Therefore, they could only find Shen Jinzhu.

Shen Jinzhu remembered that last time she said she would take her shopping, she was reluctant and even cried a lot after returning home, so she was no longer in the mood to go shopping with her.

"Today we need to take stock of the profits from the estates in the suburbs of Beijing. I don't have time. How about we have Agate and Glass accompany her?" Shen Jinzhu handed Chen Dongxi over to her two trusted maids.

"That works too." Yu Kangjing thought this arrangement was good.

The lady's two maids were both steady and reliable.

"Xi'er, let Agate and Glass show you around." Yu Kangjing followed his wife's arrangement.

Chen Dongxi was dissatisfied, but he couldn't say it out loud.

She was sent shopping with two maids, but they weren't even given any money. What could she possibly do shopping?

She gave a stiff smile: "Okay, thank you Uncle Yu, thank you Aunt Shen."

"Don't be so polite with me, child." Yu Kangjing patted her head and went out.

Chen Dongxi went back to her room to change her clothes, got into the carriage, and went out.

Chen Dongxi couldn't tell how far Xixie Street was, so he took the initiative to ask about the place.

"Sister Agate, what's fun to do on West Sloping Street? I know I often hear people in the manor talking about it."

Agate replied, "There's nothing fun about it. That area is full of wealthy and powerful people; they don't sell anything there."

Chen Dongxi frowned.

If she's not selling anything, how can she find an excuse to go there?

"How far is Xixie Street from where we're going?" she asked again.

Liuli glanced at her with some confusion: "Why is Miss Xier asking this?"

"Just asking." Chen Dongxi felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze, so she straightened her neck and, mimicking Cui Ruixin's attitude towards servants, gave a cold snort.

“I am the master. I ask and you answer. Why are you asking me so many questions? Is it your place to ask me?”

Upon hearing this, both Agate and Glass's expressions changed.

Even their proper masters had never looked down on them like this, yet this peasant girl who came halfway through life and whose status was illegitimate was so arrogant.

If it weren't for her having a good father, she wouldn't be able to stay in the Marquis's mansion and live such a life of luxury.
