Chapter 1 Lost again?
Dahuan Dynasty, Xiangzhou, Pingli County.

The Song family, who is the most famous in Pingli County, has established a firm foothold here by relying on its medicine hall and tea shop business.

At this time, in a remote courtyard with a closed door in the Song family's backyard, a figure was sitting on a stone in the corner, holding a fat and oily beggar's chicken in his right hand, gnawing deliciously.

This person has long, slightly dark yellow hair, scattered around his head, tied with an ordinary black hairband. He is dressed in wrinkled rough linen clothes, which are already stained with a lot of dirt. In the Song Mansion, where everyone was very particular about their clothes and makeup, they looked a little different and out of the ordinary.

However, this man's dirty and dark face and his eyes under his distant eyebrows were as bright as the stars, extremely dazzling.

Moreover, the faint light that flashed in this man's eyes from time to time was fleeting, and the starlight in his eyes also quickly fell silent, appearing dull and dull, lacking in aura.

And this person is Song Ruiyan, the third young lady whom the Song family has recently recognized.

Song Ruiyan was the only daughter of the eldest son of the Song family.

Back then, Song Ruiyan went out with her parents and younger brother to attend Princess Xiang's chrysanthemum viewing banquet. As a result, the horse suddenly got frightened halfway along the way, ran wildly, and finally fell into the Baili River.

Later, after everyone salvaged, only the broken carriage and drowned horses were found. As for Song Ruiyan, her parents, and her younger brother, none of them were alive or dead.

After many days of searching with no results, the Song family had no choice but to give up and build a tomb for Song Ruiyan and his family.

As for the huge family fortune of the Song family, it fell into the hands of the second wife who was a concubine.

In the hands of the second brother of the Song family, the Song family's family business has been shrinking day by day. Now it can no longer make ends meet, with only superficial prosperity. The business of the medicine hall and tea shop is also deteriorating.

Under such circumstances, after more than ten years of unremitting pursuit by Song Ruiyan's maternal ancestor, the Yao family, Song Ruiyan was finally found in a farmhouse.

From the birthmark on Song Ruiyan's body, the jade hairpin he retained, and his original clothes, the Yao family determined Song Ruiyan's identity and took Song Ruiyan back.

However, in order to get help from the Yao family and subsidize the Song family's family business, the second brother of the Song family hurriedly found the Yao family, and made various moral accusations on the grounds that Song Ruiyan was the only bloodline of the eldest son of the Song family. After being tied up, the Yao family had to ask Song Ruiyan to follow him back to the Song family.

Because they felt sorry for Song Ruiyan, the Yao family sent many good things to Song Ruiyan.

But here in the Song family, the various pretentiousness and calculations of the second roommate of the Song family made Song Ruiyan's life very difficult, and eventually she died.

This time, after experiencing so much, she was lucky enough to be reborn and returned to this time. Song Ruiyan thanked God and was no longer as cowardly as before. She would no longer be used without knowing it and did not dare to fight back.

It’s time for those people to repay their debts!
Speaking of which, the Song family is indeed in decline now.

The second wife of the Song family has always been greedy for pleasure and only keeps putting money from the medicine hall and tea shop into their own pockets.

If it weren't for the shopkeepers who have been grateful for the kindness of the Song family and have been desperately maintaining it all these years, I'm afraid that the Song family's medicine hall and tea shop would all have been closed long ago.Of course, in order to continue to make money, the Song family's second wife is also planning to sell all those shops to cash out!
Thinking of this, Song Ruiyan's eyes became a little dark.

After he finished chewing the beggar's chicken and buried all the bones, Song Ruiyan stood up, looked around, ignored the messy and noisy kitchen outside, and turned over. Several walls returned to the extremely simple and abandoned courtyard in the distance where she now lived.

In the kitchen, the slaves of the Song family who were responsible for taking care of the livestock were still whispering with interest about Song Ruiyan's gossip.

"Do you think the third lady is really the daughter of the former head of the family? We haven't seen each other for more than ten years, so it can't be a lie, right?"

"Why not? The third young lady and the eldest young lady are actually very similar. That is, the third young lady is not as healthy and good-looking as the eldest young lady and the second young lady, and she is not as smart as the eldest young lady and the second young lady."

"I heard that Third Young Master Yuan disliked the third young lady very much and thought that the third young lady was dead. As a result, the third young lady came back alive, but Third Young Master Yuan was extremely dissatisfied and wanted to come to the mansion to break off the engagement."

"But, that's not to say, in fact, Miss Third..."

Before he finished speaking, a cold and stern voice suddenly sounded: "What are you all gathering here for? Is there nothing to do?"

"Have you carefully checked and inventoried the livestock in the kitchen?"

"Today, if there are any more inexplicable losses of livestock, you will all be waiting to be punished!"

The person who suddenly spoke was Wei Xuanting, the younger brother of Wei Xuanwen, the chief steward of the Song family, and the steward of the back kitchen of the Song family.

As soon as they saw Manager Wei Xuanting appear, the slaves of the Song family, who had been hiding and chatting just now, immediately cheered up, quickly dispersed, and performed their duties conscientiously to avoid being punished.

Seeing everyone like this, Wei Xuanting snorted coldly and began to inspect the situation in the kitchen.

However, before Wei Xuanting could go far, a domestic servant hurried over.

Seeing the steward Wei Xuanting here, the slave rushed over, knelt in front of him, and reported to Wei Xuanting in a panic: "Steward Wei, another big rooster in the back is missing."

As soon as he saw the anxious look of this servant, Wei Xuanting already felt uneasy.

When he heard what the slave reported, Wei Xuanting's face became even more gloomy.

It has been several days in a row. In the kitchen, livestock have been lost under their noses every day, but they cannot find out why. How can this make Wei Xuanting, who is in charge of the kitchen, in a good mood?
What's more, these live livestock were specially sent by the Yao family, and the owner of the family also told them that all these livestock should be left to the second lady to eat slowly and replenish her body!
Now, he has lost several livestock here in succession. If the owner of the house and the second lady investigate, how should he explain it?
Wei Xuanting was originally a very serious and strict person, but within the scope of his duties, such a big thing happened, but they did not find any trace of the thief. This situation made Wei Xuanting even more depressed and angry. Not satisfied?
Thinking of this, the low pressure on Wei Xuanting's body was released, causing the nearby servants to kneel to the ground in shock.
