Ten Again to Fight against Her Fate

"Good child!" Old Mrs. Xue held my hand. The concern and pity in her eyes made people wonder if it was this kind old lady who had asked her granddaughter to push me into the water.

According to common sense, I should be polite and say that it's fine. When Old Lady Xue saw my appearance, she frowned. I guess, in her heart, she probably thinks that this child doesn't know how to appreciate kindness. The Xue family has already paid the silver coins to atone for their crimes, why is he still unwilling to forgive?

Since they look down on Shang Jia, they should use Shang Jia's method to settle the score with them!

When Old Lady Xue saw that I didn't have any intention of backing down, she gripped my hand and made an aged and exhausted expression. I sneered in my heart. Bullying a weak girl like me, yet now she's acting like a weakling.

"Such a delicate little girl, how did she fall into the hot spring?" Old Lady Xue used the handkerchief in her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, as if she was extremely upset.

"Maybe I was unlucky this year." I lowered my head and took a small step back, "It has nothing to do with Sister Xue."

Third Madam understood what I meant and came forward to say, "Mother, we have an emerald inlaid with a hundred treasures, Guan Yin. She can keep us safe." Old Lady Xue's eyes twitched. Mrs. Xue, who was holding a handkerchief, looked even more upset. Miss Xue, who was standing by the side, looked even paler and tottering on the verge of collapse.

This Guan Yin was a famous treasure of the Xue Clan, protecting the safety of the family. Now that the Xue Clan wanted to give Guan Yin to Miss Xue to marry, didn't it also mean that the honor and wealth of the Xue Clan would be handed over to Miss Xue?

"If I let Chong'er go, perhaps her luck will change!" Third Wife smiled brightly, standing by Old Lady Xue's side like a flower of explanation.

"Alright, alright!" Old Lady Xue smiled again. As the ladies watched the play, their smiles were restored. The ladies, however, had different expressions as they gathered around their mothers.

"Hurry up and tell your mother to take a look!" I just heard that you fell into the water, and I was scared out of my wits. " Old Mrs. Xue smiled and glanced at her mother. "If it weren't for my wife's persuasion, I wouldn't have followed her." On the other side, the mother hung her head. No matter how flawless the filial piety of a mother was, there would still be flaws in her acting. If his daughter were to fall into the water, an ordinary mother would have to confirm her daughter's safety.

"Mother." I walked up to my mother and did more of the same look of unease and cowardice that made my daughter worry my mother.

"Good child, quickly get up!" "How can your mother really blame you?" Taking the handkerchief and covering his face with it, Lu Li smiled. No wonder the Lu Family was able to live like a fish in water in the Xue Family even after encountering the Xue Family. The Lu Family had wanted to marry Little Lu into their family.

In a moment, a maid came over with a box. The third wife took it and opened it, and a smell of sandalwood spread out along with her movements, and inside lay a large yellow jade medallion with a red rope tied to it. Little Lu Shi personally helped me put the jade medallion on my waist, and then intimately held my shoulder, "Good child, this jade medallion is with you, it's safe." I embarrassedly held the jade token in my hands. "How can this be!" Mrs. Xue's smile was deep in her eyes. "This was after forty years of following our old lady. I can suppress you!" "The meaning behind his words was that this jade token was Old Lady Xue's dowry, but now he has taken it out to seal my mouth.

I went to thank Old Lady Xue. She had a kind smile on her face, and a look of disgust appeared on her face. Eldest Miss Xue smiled as she supported her mother. She was very polite and graceful.

"It's here!" It's here! " A little girl, who was wearing a jacket and pants, ran in. She was panting as she shouted, "Here comes the important person!"

Old Lady Xue stood up with Mrs. Xue's help. Her mother helped her tidy up the bandages on her body, and only when everything was done did she help the Eldest Miss out of the door. The other ladies also followed behind her to greet her.

At the Xue Clan's second door, Old Mistress Xue stopped her steps. It was likely that the men were waiting at the main gate. After all, most of the female members were unmarried ladies, so it was normal for them to wait at the second door. The ladies of honor all stood behind Mrs. Xue, and my mother, Mrs. Third, and Mrs. Zhang were pushed to the back, so I knew that this arrogant Miss Zhang's father was not an official of the court.

Not long after, waves of footsteps were heard, followed by a man's voice. "I heard that today is the birthday of the ancestor of the Xue Clan, so naturally we should pay our respects." Her voice was gentle, and it carried the air of a modest gentleman. Most likely, this was King Qi. An older man answered respectfully, "Today is my mother's birthday, but as a subject, how dare I trouble you to come." It was neither servile nor overbearing. This was the way Wen Chen thought of it. The owner of this voice must be Master Xue.

The sound of footsteps drew closer and closer. Old Lady Xue led the ladies to kneel down and said in unison, "Chenqie pays her respects to the prince and the princess." Then he bent down to pay his respects. King Qi stepped forward to help support old woman Xue, while the woman wearing the bamboo hat next to King Qi came forward to support Mrs. Xue. King Qi continued to laugh. "The Old Ancestor insisted on paying his respects. Now, aren't you forcing Ben Wang to give him his master's salute?" I was short and could not see what was happening in front of me. There was a commotion in the crowd, it must have been that King Qi had stopped the ceremony he was about to give to the elders, then I heard King Qi say loudly, "Wishing the Old Ancestor the best in his life, his age, and his age." Old Lady Xue smiled and replied, "Alright! Good! This old one greets Your Highness! " Then he heard King Qi call out with a smile, "Aunt! Cousin! " King Qi and Princess Yuanzhen came from the late Empress Qin, and King Qi addressed her as his aunt. He just didn't know what sort of relationship she had with Empress Qin.

The woman wearing the veil was likely Princess Yuan Zhen. Eldest Miss Xue retreated. Old Lady Xue held Princess Yuan Zhen's hand and looked at her with a smile before leading her to the inner chamber. The bustling crowd parted to form a path. Old Lady Xue brought Princess Yuan Zhen straight into the middle gate. There was a long path that led straight to the main house.

Below her, there was a light golden palace skirt with red silk sash and a golden bell attached to the hem of the dress. As she walked, she emitted a soft and melodious sound, and the embroidered shoes on her feet would occasionally be revealed.

When they entered the room, the princess's mistress took off her veil and took off her outer garment. She wore a peony bun and wore a golden hoop. Her hair was tied with a thin jewel hairpin. A pair of golden bells hung from her ears. Her face was fair and her nose was small. Her lips were slightly thick. Her expression was arrogant. "She was wearing a phoenix through a peony and a gold collar, about twelve or thirteen years old.

When she stepped forward, she greeted the Old Ancestor with a smile. However, before she could recover her composure, Miss Xue by her side had already helped her up. The Princess turned her body slightly to the side and gave Lady Xue a blessing, causing the Old Ancestor to turn away with a smile on her face. After that, Miss Xue bowed and respectfully lowered her head. "Princess" She extended a hand to help Miss Xue up and greeted the "Cousin".

Eldest Miss Xue brought the princess and introduced her to them one by one. The ladies who were introduced all quickly bowed down. The princess only smiled as she received the greeting, without any orders to support her.
