The beloved is reborn as a substitute, and the tyrant begs for forgiveness every night.

The usually dull-witted Pearl was unusually shrewd today.

She took two steps forward and knocked on the door.

Hearing the heavy banging on the door outside, Jiang Xiuxiu felt her heart pound.

What on earth went wrong with Xu Leyao today?

"Miss Xiuxiu, our young lady is waiting for you."

Zhu'er's words were like the whispers of a demon, murmuring in Jiang Xiuxiu's ear.

This made her even more anxious and uneasy.

What's wrong with Xu Leyao today?

Is it really necessary to have such an ugly falling out with her over a hairpin?

Despite her displeasure, Jiang Xiuxiu ultimately dared not confront Xu Leyao directly.

"I've already rested. Let your young lady go back first."

Jiang Xiuxiu called out these words with a trembling voice, but her tone was full of lack of confidence.

Xu Leyao listened from outside and felt that Jiang's mother was even more biased than before.

If it were just an ordinary hairpin, Jiang Xiuxiu would only need to take it out and let her see it.

It's unlikely that Xu Leyao will do anything unusual.

But now that she seems so guilty, Xu Leyao is even more curious.

Moreover, Xu Leyao would definitely want to get back anything that belonged to her.

Xu Leyao gave Zhu'er a look, and Zhu'er immediately understood.

Pearl knocked on the door faster and kept urging everyone on.

At this moment, she was like the King of Hell knocking on the door.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiuxiu dared not go out.

She cursed inwardly, but dared not make a single move.

Seeing this, Xu Leyao was really getting impatient.

She told Pearl to move aside, then stepped forward and kicked the door open.

Xu Leyao's kick was quite powerful, and the wooden door creaked loudly.

Jiang Xiuxiu never expected that Xu Leyao would be so audacious.

"Sister, if Father finds out about this behavior, he will probably scold you."

As Jiang Xiuxiu spoke, she tried to use her father to reprimand Xu Leyao.

However, Xu Leyao was not afraid of Jiang's father.

Xu Leyao's expression grew even colder. She didn't utter a word, but just kept kicking the door.

Seeing that the wooden door was about to collapse, Jiang Xiuxiu didn't know where to hide next.

Moreover, she was the only person in the room at that moment.

Long before Xu Leyao arrived, Jiang Xiuxiu had already sent all the maids and servants out, trying to get them to stop Xu Leyao.

Jiang Xiuxiu was surprised that those people were so useless, they couldn't even stop Xu Leyao.

Jiang Xiuxiu was feeling complicated at the moment, and all sorts of emotions were mixed together, making it difficult for her to think.

What on earth provoked Xu Leyao to come here and cause trouble, acting so arrogantly?

Besides, so much time has passed, why hasn't Shizhu returned yet?

Knowing that the owner had gone to ask Jiang's mother for help, Jiang Xiuxiu felt a little more confident.

"Sister, please stop knocking. Mother will be here soon. If you have any complaints, just talk to Mother. Don't throw a tantrum here."

Seeing that the wooden door was about to collapse, Jiang Xiuxiu finally mustered up the courage to say this.

Upon hearing this, Xu Leyao stopped what she was doing.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiuxiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Xu Leyao still cares about Jiang's mother.

Now, just by mentioning her name, Xu Leyao can quiet down.

It seems she'll have to try harder to please Mother Jiang in the future.

Jiang Xiuxiu wrote it down in her mind, while Xu Leyao outside had a cold smile on her face.

She wasn't afraid of Jiang's father, so she used Jiang's mother to intimidate her.

It's unclear what Jiang Xiuxiu was thinking to do something so foolish.

However, Xu Leyao was also curious about what Jiang's mother would say if she came.

It was this curiosity that prompted Xu Leyao to stop what she was doing.

But in Jiang Xiuxiu's eyes, this had become a symbol of Xu Leyao's fear of her mother.

When Jiang's mother arrived, she saw Xu Leyao standing at the door, leading a group of maids and servants in an arrogant manner.

She frowned, and anger welled up inside her.

"Weiwei, what are you doing?"

As she spoke, she made Xu Leyao take a few steps back.

However, Xu Leyao did not respond to her words at all.

When Jiang's mother saw that all the servants were looking at her, she almost lost her composure.

Her face instantly turned ashen, and she looked at Xu Leyao with an unfriendly tone.

"Weiwei, do you have any of the demeanor of a young lady from a noble family? Now you're blocking your sister from entering, what are you trying to do?"

Faced with her questioning, Xu Leyao remained calm and composed.

"I'd like to ask Mother, what have you done this time?"

Xu Leyao raised her eyes and met her gaze with a cold smile.

"You've really figured out how to treat both of us. Mother, if you don't want to give, you can just say so. Besides, you clearly said it was compensation for me. Now I never expected that even Jiang Xiuxiu would receive some compensation."

She spoke without any politeness.

They practically tore off Jiang's mother's face in front of everyone, threw it on the ground, and stomped on it.

Seeing her unruly demeanor, Jiang's mother was so angry that her heart ached.

"I've given you the compensation you were due, so what's wrong with Xiuxiu taking a hairpin now?"

As she spoke, Jiang's mother's gaze grew increasingly displeased.

“You are a young lady from the Marquis’s mansion, so don’t be so narrow-minded. It’s just a hairpin, how can it compare to the precious hairpin I gave you? Besides, although you are my own daughter, Xiuxiu has been under my care for many years.”

As she spoke, Jiang's mother observed Xu Leyao's expression.

Seeing that Xu Leyao showed no sign of backing down, Jiang's mother sighed helplessly.

“In my eyes, you are all my children. What you are doing now is no different from killing your own compatriots.”

She believes she is fair.

But in Xu Leyao's eyes, this statement was truly ironic.

Are they all your own children?

Why didn't Jiang's mother ever think that while Jiang Xiuxiu was being pampered and spoiled, Jiang Yuwei was suffering outside?

If Jiang Yuwei hadn't been lucky, she would probably have become a wandering ghost on some mountain before the Jiang family found her!

Jiang's mother kept talking about fairness, but how was this fair to Jiang Yuwei?

Throughout the entire ordeal, she couldn't see any grievances from Jiang Yuwei.

Xu Leyao really felt sorry for Jiang Yuwei.

Because of this imposter, Jiang's mother indirectly caused the death of her own biological daughter.

"You really love her dearly!"

Xu Leyao's sudden remark left Jiang's mother somewhat bewildered.

"Your enemy is right in front of you, yet you know nothing of it. How pathetic and lamentable."

Xu Leyao shook her head as she spoke.

Just then, Jiang's father and Zheng Lingjia walked over from the entrance of the mansion.

Just then, I overheard Xu Leyao say this.
