"Ugh! Ugh!" The muffled groans and screams were heart-wrenching.

Banxia was wearing a bright red wedding dress, which had been whipped to pieces, leaving no visible area of her body.

The scene was bloody and the wedding dress was soaked in blood, which was terrifying to look at.

She looked at this girl, who had always pretended to be a kind and gullible white lotus sister, without giving in.

Gritting her teeth, she used all her strength to ask, "Why?"

"Hahaha... you actually asked me why? Mother is right, you four brothers and sisters are four idiots."

Qingdai's voice was very harsh and unpleasant, and the look she gave Banxia was full of hatred.

"Mother, no, mother wouldn't say such things."

Banxia couldn't believe it. How could that kind-hearted mother, who had always treated her four siblings as her own children and doted on them, say such vicious words?

Qingdai looked at Banxia like she was an idiot and said, "What an idiot! Don't you understand that there is something in the world called flattery?"

At this moment, Banxia understood everything.

She was overpraised, so her three brothers and herself were raised to be useless, useless wastes in Dujing.

Qingdai stepped forward, pinched Banxia's face, and sneered: "Since you are going to die, I will let you die knowingly."

With a "swish" sound, the skin on Banxia's face, as thin as a cicada's wing, was torn off, but she didn't feel any pain.

"What is that?"

Banxia was confused and panicked, completely unaware of the astonished looks in the eyes of the dozen or so big men, and the hatred and jealousy in Qingdai's eyes.

Qingdai hated the obsessed looks in men's eyes, and hated this face that was as beautiful as the moon and as beautiful as a fairy, which made her jealous and crazy.

He clenched the dagger in his hand and slashed it towards Banxia's face.

Banxia had no ability to resist and only felt the pain from the wound on her face was unbearable.

"Ah! Ah!"

Banxia wanted to resist, but she had been tortured to the point of only having one breath left, and she had no strength to resist.

The fairy who appeared in front of a dozen big men was suddenly disfigured and bloody, and looked like a ghost. They immediately shook their heads and expressed regret.

After Qingdai vented her madness, she took a deep breath and said, "You are just like your bitch mother. Even if you are as beautiful as a fairy, you still lost to me and my mother, hahaha..."

Banxia covered her bleeding face in pain and looked at the culprit.

"I am getting married to the prince. Prince Yi, do you think you can survive tomorrow if you know that you killed me?"

"Hahaha..." Upon hearing this, Qingdai suddenly laughed, and her laugh was particularly ferocious.

"You are worthy of being the son of your stupid mother, just as stupid. Do you think I would dare to do this without Prince Yi's permission?"

After saying that, he put on the same bright red wedding dress in front of Banxia, looking like a winner.

"I forgot to tell you that it is me, not you, who is getting married to Prince Yi today. Banxia, my mother stole my father away from me back then, and today I can still snatch the prince away. You, your mother and your good-for-nothing brothers are destined to be losers, idiots and losers, hahahaha..."

"Brother Yi, why, why?"

"Because Prince Yi loves me, and you, the laughing stock of the capital, are not worthy of it at all. Prince Yi has only been playing a game with you."

"It's impossible, I don't believe it. Brother Yi is so good to me, he would never treat me like this."

Qingdai suddenly smiled with her hands covering her mouth: "Brother Prince, you see, she still doesn't believe it."

"Banxia, just consider your death as your fulfillment!"

The man who seemed like a banished immortal suddenly appeared, but his words were like a cold knife, piercing Banxia's heart.

“Brother Yi, what did you say?”

Banxia felt like she must be hallucinating. How could that prince brother, who was so gentle only to her, do something like that?

"You are still dreaming. How could I like you? Your sister is the most beautiful woman in Kyoto, but I like you, a vulgar country girl."

Banxia couldn't believe her ears. These were the words of the man she loved so much.

"No, no, Brother Yi, you forgot your promise to me, forgot that you only wanted me in this life, and forgot that you would stay with me until we are old and never abandon me."

Yue Beiyi pursed his lips tightly, his eyes as cold as ice.

Banxia walked forward, grabbed the hem of his clothes and touched her belly: "I, am already pregnant with your child, Prince brother."

Yue Beiyi pushed Banxia away ruthlessly: "The child is not mine."

"No, how is it possible, that night was clearly..."

Before Banxia could finish, Qingdai interrupted: "The man you had sex with that night was just a wild man, and Prince brother was with me that night."

Banxia looked at Yue Beiyi in disbelief. You asked me out that day, it turned out you were plotting against me.

Yue Beiyi looked at her coldly without saying a word, but just held Qingdai's hand gently: "Let's go."

Banxia was unwilling, and shouted at Yue Beiyi's back: "Have you ever loved me, even just once?"

The answer she got was blank silence and piercing heartache.

She knelt down dejectedly, crying heartbreakingly: "You said that you only wanted me as your bride in this life, you said that even if you let down the whole world, you would never let me down, you said that we would never be separated forever, you said that your love for me was more important than your life, but now you blame me for trusting you too much and loving you too truly, you liar, you liar..."

She suddenly looked up and shouted at the ruthless figure: "I hate you, I will not let you go even if I become a ghost."

"Do it." After saying this, Qingdai and Yue Beiyi both walked away in their bright red wedding dresses.

There was reluctance and hatred in Banxia's eyes.

"Ah! Ah!"

Her tears flowed down and she screamed, even the pain could not stop her from venting.

The dozen or so big men were frightened by Banxia's eyes filled with hatred.

Without any mercy, he threw the still breathing Banxia directly into the burning sea of fire.

The pain of the fire burned her skin all over her body, and the agony swept over her until it turned into ashes along with the fire.

"It's cold, so cold... um..."

"Miss, the doctor will be here soon, please bear with it."

Shaoyao covered Banxia with another quilt. This was the fifth quilt.

Banxia opened her eyes in a daze: "Where is this? The underworld?"

Shaoyao looked at the confused young lady and said worriedly: "Miss, you are delirious because of the fever again. How come you are in the underworld?

"Brother Yi, why? Why? I hate you, I hate you! ”

“Miss, Miss, please wake up. The doctor said you may not survive the night. I’m afraid you will... Woo woo woo..."

Shaoyao cried anxiously when she thought that her young lady would be burned into a fool.

"Noisy..."

Banxia suddenly opened her eyes and saw her personal maid Shaoyao who was anxiously waiting and crying.

"Miss, I'm glad you're awake."

Banxia was a little confused. She remembered that she was thrown into a sea of fire and burned to death.

Now there was no pain of being burned by fire, no smell of burning, and no excruciating pain.

"I'm still alive? "

Banxia subconsciously touched her face and found that it was fine and not cut by the dagger.

Shaoyao said excitedly: "Miss, you finally woke up and you don’t have to be a fool anymore. "

Banxia: "..."

This scene is so familiar. Yes, that was the year she had just come of age, and that was also the year she was to be taken back to Kyoto.

During the first three days after leaving the small village, she went out to play with her sister Qingdai who came to pick her up.

At the edge of the pond, she was pushed down by her sister Qingdai. Afterwards, she listened to Qingdai's instigation and said that she accidentally fell in.

Then, it was said that she was not only a fool, but also an idiot who couldn't even walk steadily.

She was actually reborn and returned to three days before she left the village four years ago.

Since God let her live again, she must be heartless and unloving, more vicious than those vicious people, and make them live a life more painful than going to hell.

She swore that in this life she was born and came only for hatred. She

collected her thoughts and tried to calm herself down.

"Peony. "

Peony shuddered. She was frightened by the young lady's terrifying eyes.

Seeing that the young lady's eyes had returned to normal, Peony thought she was hallucinating, so she quickly said, "Young lady, I'm here. Your hands are not hot anymore. It seems that your fever has subsided. That's good." "

After saying that, Shaoyao looked outside and quickly whispered, "Miss, I think Miss Qingdai is not as good as she seems. If she can push you into the pool today, she might do something even more vicious tomorrow. "

Hearing the word 'Qingdai', the hatred in Banxia's eyes deepened again, but it was fleeting and left no trace.

She punished Shaoyao for gossiping many times.

Thinking about it, Shaoyao was finally expelled from Yaohou Mansion, and she became closer to them, mother and daughter, which led to her final end.

"Well, I understand, Shaoyao, thank you. "

This thank you was expressed with a bit of guilt and full of sincerity.

Peony was stunned when she saw the young lady's attitude.

The young lady lost her mother when she was young, and was raised in the countryside without the love of her father and mother.

Suddenly her mother came to take her back, and the young lady was extremely grateful, so she did not allow anyone to say bad things about her mother and sister.

In the past, she would be reprimanded if she said anything, but today when the young lady woke up, it seemed that something was different.

"What's wrong? Why don’t you say anything or move? "

Looking at the dazed Shaoyao, Banxia almost laughed out loud. This girl must have been frightened by her change.

"No, no, miss, hello. I'll go and inform her right away."

"No, let's go together."

Banxia narrowed her eyes, filled with endless hatred.

Back then, her three brothers committed crimes, one was beheaded, and two were exiled. It seemed that this stepmother had contributed to this.

Since God allowed her to live again, she must prevent this from happening again.

"Ms.”

“Let’s go. "

Just as she was about to leave, Banxia suddenly thought of something and a barely perceptible sneer appeared on her lips.

She just walked out of the room and was dazzled by the glaring sunlight.

This re-work seemed to last a century, yet as short as last night.

Whether in a dream or in reality, she wants those who bully and harm her to go to hell.

In the main hall, my stepmother was talking to several cousins from the countryside.

The Yao family is a well-known wealthy family in this small place. Everyone knows that the Yao family has a cousin from a noble family in Kyoto, so they dominate this area and no one dares to mess with them.

Therefore, although Banxia had no parents by her side since childhood, no one dared to bully her.

As I walked into the main hall, I heard my stepmother's bodhisattva-like tone.

"Oh! I feel sorry for this little girl the most. She lost her mother's care since she was young and was raised in this countryside without being able to see her father for more than ten years. How pitiful!" "

Who said it wasn't? The fortune teller said that Banxia has an unlucky fate and will bring bad luck to her father and mother. My cousin didn't believe it at first, but after Banxia's mother passed away, he had no choice but to send Banxia to this small place for foster care."

When the cousin's aunt spoke,... she deliberately looked at the expression of Banxia's stepmother, Jin.

After finding that there was nothing on her face, he continued, "Fortunately, the fortune teller said that when she reaches the age of 15, her misfortunes will turn into blessings. Now the time has come and you have come to pick her up."

Although Jin was in her early forties, she was well maintained and looked like a lady in her thirties.

She picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea to hide the disdain in her eyes.

She put down the teacup, her eyes returned to normal, and she still said with a bodhisattva-like demeanor: "Who said it wasn't true? This child has a hard life. I, as her mother, must love her well in the future."

Hearing Jin's words, the cousin's aunt was relieved.

Although Banxia is not her daughter, she has been raised by her since she was a child. She only gave birth to sons and no daughter, so she naturally treats Banxia as her own daughter.

It is said that country girls are vulgar, but my aunt never raised Banxia as a country girl.

All the necessary rules, including music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and prose, are included in Banxia.

This is also what Jin hated so much. She originally thought that she could raise Pinellia to be no different from a country girl in the countryside.

But every year when I come to visit her, I find that she is getting better and better.

But every year, she was able to turn danger into safety.

Because there were so many accidents, the cousin's aunt took precautions and had someone follow her every step every day to prevent the bad guys from finding any opportunity to strike.

Banxia walked in, hiding the hatred in her eyes.

She stepped forward and bowed politely: "Mother, I fell into the water and had a fever, which made you worried. It's my fault."

The moment Jin saw Banxia, there was a hint of disappointment and disgust in her eyes.

But she concealed it very well. She squeezed out two tears and pretended to say, "Banxia, you finally woke up. Are you feeling unwell anywhere? You've made your mother so worried."

Jin pretended to pull Banxia, but Banxia dodged her without noticing.

She turned to her aunt and said, "Aunt, it's all Pinellia's fault. Please don't punish my sister. I believe she didn't mean it."

This sudden change of tone stunned everyone.

Banxia remembered the same scene in her previous life. She was bewitched by her stepmother’s two fake tears and snuggled up to Jin to act out the love between mother and daughter.

It is conceivable how sad the cousin's aunt must have felt when she saw everything. It would be strange if she didn't feel sad that her child, whom she had raised like a treasure, was so close to a mother who had only been with her for two days.

Jin was completely frozen, she never expected Banxia to say that.

Although she had little contact with Banxia, she would at least come to visit her every year and knew her temper very well.

How could she, who has always been easily influenced, kind, ignorant, and weak, say such words?

"Banxia, what does this have to do with your sister? Don't talk nonsense."

Jin reacted and quickly gave Banxia a look, telling her not to talk nonsense.

Banxia immediately looked as if she was threatened, and stood cautiously beside her aunt, not daring to say a word.

The eldest uncle noticed something and put down his teacup with a unhappy look on his face.

The other younger cousins also looked unhappy.

The atmosphere in the main hall suddenly became extremely awkward, which made Jin want to tear Banxia into pieces.

This Banxia deliberately acted like this, as if I had been oppressing her, so she was afraid of me.

The eldest aunt glanced at Jin and found that she didn't look very well and didn't understand something.

So she took Banxia's hand and asked, "Tell me, didn't you fall into the pond by yourself?"

Banxia looked at Jin with fear, wanting to say something but afraid to do so, which made people feel distressed.

At this moment, the eldest uncle stood up and said, "Banxia, tell the truth. Don't be afraid, I will take care of it for you."

Banxia then said, "It's Banxia's fault. Banxia shouldn't have taken my sister to the pond. Maybe my sister was careless..."

Having said this, Banxia deliberately paused and looked at Jin's expression.

Even if Jin disguised herself very well, her expression probably didn't look very good at the moment.

"Enough, stop talking. Now that you know you are wrong, don't go to dangerous places like the pond in the future."

Jin changed the subject and pushed all the responsibility onto Banxia.

In ancient times, a woman's reputation was very important, so she would never allow Banxia to say anything unfavorable to Qingdai.

Banxia knew it was just like that. As expected, all the good things in the previous life were flattered to death!

I just disobeyed her a little bit and her true nature was exposed. I was so ridiculous in my previous life that I believed this vicious mother and daughter.

She immediately shed a tear of grievance, as if she had something to say but didn't dare to say it.

When my uncle saw this, he was extremely angry.

Banxia suffers so much bullying in her own home, so she doesn't know how she will be bullied if she goes to the capital.

"Banxia, you fell into the water and gave people the impression of being stupid. This will affect the marriage plans of your sisters. Tell me, how could you be so careless?"

Although the uncle seemed to be blaming himself, in fact, he was finding a way for himself to tell the truth.

This excuse was well chosen, using the image of a woman to make the point, so that Jin could not find any fault at all.

"Uncle, who said I fell into the water by accident? It was Sister Qingdai who pushed me in accidentally."

These words made everyone in the main hall silent. The words "Sister Qingdai pushed me in accidentally"

The word "accidentally" is still a defense. The younger sister was almost killed but she still wanted to defend the elder sister who harmed her. This character is impeccable.

Jin was immediately furious: "Banxia, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say such things carelessly. As a younger sister, it is not proper for a lady to damage her elder sister's image?"

Banxia knelt down with a plop.

Tears immediately flowed out and she said aggrievedly, "Mother, I was wrong. I shouldn't have said that, even if I die."

This sentence once again pushed Jin to the forefront.

What kind of mother is this? Her daughter was almost killed, but she still doesn’t allow her to tell the truth. She is so vicious.

Jin was so angry that her lungs were about to explode. She pointed at Banxia and was speechless for a long time.

Qingdai, who was secretly watching outside, wished she could come out and tear Banxia into pieces.

Thinking that no one saw it at the time, he bravely walked out and said, "Sister, when did I ever go to the pond with you? Please don't accuse me."

This sentence negated everything Banxia had said before.

Jin's expression improved a little. She looked at Banxia and scolded: "Banxia, Qingdai is your sister after all. How can you frame her like this? Don't you know that this will damage your sister's reputation?"

Banxia knew that they would never admit it and thought that no one saw it.

However, she had already thought of this, otherwise she would not have made the rash accusation.

"Whether there was any, just ask the servants in the mansion. The mansion is so big, there must be one or two people who saw it."

Shaoyao stepped forward immediately: "At that time, I was sent away to get something, so I asked Xiao Hu and Sun Da to look after the young lady for me. Xiao Hu was afraid that the young lady would be unhappy, so he watched in the dark. When the young lady fell into the water, it was Xiao Hu who asked people to rescue her first."

Without waiting for Jin to speak, the eldest uncle said immediately: "Let Xiao Hu and Sun Da come over for questioning."

Qingdai was panicked now. If she asked the truth, wouldn't she be convicted of murdering her sister?

Jin also didn't expect that Shaoyao was a girl with so many thoughts.

They even hired two people to watch over him secretly. It would be hard to argue if this was confirmed.

She immediately said, "Wait..."

The maid who went out to call someone stopped immediately, not knowing whether to call or not.

The eldest uncle and others looked at Jin in confusion. The image of Jin as a bodhisattva in their hearts had changed a lot at this moment.

"Did you accidentally push your sister into the water? Considering that you are young and ignorant, I believe your uncle and aunt won't hold it against you."

Qingdai understood immediately and quickly knelt down and said, "Mother, I just tripped over a stone accidentally and pushed my sister into the water. I wuwuwu..."

He looked like an ignorant child who had done something wrong and people could not bear to blame him.

Banxia had known this would happen, and she also knew that this incident alone would not be able to bring down the mother and daughter.

So she pleaded, "Uncle, I didn't mean it. Please don't blame me, please."

The eldest uncle looked at Banxia. In his eyes, the child he raised was good in every way.

So he sighed and said, "You are a kind and righteous child. There is nothing I can do about you. Let's just leave it at that!"

This was the first time that Jin's mother and daughter suffered a loss. Naturally, they felt uncomfortable and nauseated, as if they had eaten a fly.

However, what can we do now that things have come to this? We can only do this to avoid being interrogated, which would be even more embarrassing if the truth was revealed.

“……”

Miss, it’s late at night, why aren’t you asleep yet?

Banxia looked at the sleepy Shaoyao and asked, "Have you packed all your luggage for departure?"

"Yeah." Shaoyao yawned sleepily and nodded and replied, "We're leaving early tomorrow morning, so I must pack everything in advance."

Banxia nodded with satisfaction. It was still a little hot in the early autumn weather.

Banxia pointed at the window and said, "Close all the doors and windows tightly."

When Shaoyao heard this, she was stunned: "Miss, it's such a hot day, won't it be too stuffy if you close all the doors and windows tightly?"

"I told you to close them, so why are you talking so much nonsense?" Banxia gave Shaoyao a coquettish look.

Shaoyao then slowly went forward and closed the doors and windows tightly, complaining in her heart but not daring to say anything more.

I saw Banxia sitting in front of a bronze mirror, tormenting her face.

Shaoyao was puzzled: "Miss, there is something I don't know whether I should say or not."

"You say it."

Shaoyao then bravely said: "Miss, Miss Qingdai is the most beautiful woman in the capital. This is a fact that no one can change. Even if you do something to your face, it will not become more beautiful!"

The most beautiful woman in the capital, Banxia narrowed her eyes slightly.

In her previous life, Qingdai deceived everyone because of her beautiful skin.

Brother Yi, it’s also because of her face.

Thinking of this, her heart ached. The man who had always been as cold as a mountain was cold to everyone but gentle to herself.

But behind this tenderness, there is such a terrible scam.

"Miss, Miss, what are you thinking about?" Shaoyao looked at Banxia in confusion.

Banxia came back to her senses, hiding the unforgettable hatred in her eyes.

In the previous life, how Qingdai tore off the thin skin on her face.

She tried many times but couldn't find any flaws, as if the thin skin was her own face.

Close your eyes and recall the place where you tore it.

The eyes suddenly opened, behind the ears, behind the ears.

She carefully placed her fingers behind her ears and heard a crackling sound.

Sure enough, the skin on his face, as thin as a cicada's wing, was easily torn off by Banxia.

Peony, who had been chattering all the time, opened her eyes wide in disbelief and looked at Banxia's beautiful face.

"Miss, you, you..."

Banxia's pair of moon-like eyes were as bright and dazzling as the stars in the sky, making people unforgettable.

Her facial features are incredibly delicate, like a fairy walking out of a painting, but she looks more lively than a fairy.

Her temperament is like orchid and her beauty is like moon jade. It is no exaggeration to say that she is the most stunning woman in the world.

Just one glance can make people fascinated and obsessed.

Now, she finally understood the jealousy in Qingdai's eyes, the real reason why the most beautiful woman in the capital was jealous of her.

After understanding everything, she immediately put the thin mask back on.

Shaoyao was stunned, but she came back to her senses instantly because her unparalleled beauty was blocked.

"Miss, what's going on?"

Banxia did not answer Shaoyao's words immediately, but applied the beauty cream given by her stepmother on her face. Sure enough, the thin skin as thin as a cicada's wing fit tightly with her skin again.

No wonder she told herself to apply this beauty cream every morning and evening. It turned out that her true appearance had been deliberately concealed by her stepmother.

"Miss."

Shaoyao was extremely anxious and even suspected that her young lady had been switched.

"Well, don't tell anyone about this."

"Miss, this..."

"For so many years, my stepmother has been hiding my true face. So even if I return to the capital, I will not be able to snatch the position of the most beautiful woman from Qingdai."

"I see, then why are you still wearing that fake mask, young lady?"

Banxia smiled, "This mask is the one I used to expose my stepmother's fake face in public. Now you have to protect it well."

"Peony understands. She will never let it out."

After traveling on the road for five or six days, the carriage finally arrived at the capital.

Suddenly, there was a sound of an arrow, and the horse seemed to be frightened and ran wildly.

Then she heard her stepmother say anxiously: "Ah, hurry, my daughter is in that carriage, save her! What is going to happen to my daughter? I won't live either... "

Anyone who heard this would be moved, but Banxia was not moved at all.

In her previous life, something happened here as well. It was such a coincidence that her carriage was frightened. She wouldn't believe it if it wasn't human-caused.

"Miss, ah! What should I do, what should I do!"

The carriage was running and bumping around wildly, and the two of them were shaken so much in the carriage that Shaoyao was so scared that she burst into tears.

Banxia sat calmly in the carriage without crying or making a fuss, and was very composed, because she was rescued by the young general who had returned in her previous life, and the same happened in this life.

All the pedestrians looked at the frightened carriage, worried but unable to do anything.

Seeing that the carriage was about to rush down the hillside, I was afraid that the people in the carriage would be in great danger.

Suddenly, a white figure passed by.

He rode a thousand-mile white horse, galloping as fast as the wind, madly chasing the frightened carriage.

The horse was about to fall off the hillside in an instant, and the man in white jumped directly onto the frightened horse's back.

At the critical moment, he pulled the reins handsomely and turned the horse's head with such great strength.

The frightened horse turned away from the hillside and continued to run around wildly.

I saw a man in white tearing off his clothes and covering the eyes of the frightened horse.

Slowly, the frightened horses finally calmed down, and in an instant the carriage stopped shaking and became calm.

When the passers-by saw that they were safe, they gathered around the man in white and praised him, saying, "What great skills you have! You're a hero!"

The young general Jun Han enjoyed the praise very much.

Shaoyao was so frightened that she was at a loss, and her hands and feet were still shaking.

Banxia walked out of the carriage with a calm face. She didn't look frightened at all. Instead, she was as calm as water, as if she was not in the carriage at all.

She immediately pulled out the short arrow that frightened the horse and secretly put it into her sleeve.

Jun Han frowned, not understanding what the woman meant.

"Thank you very much for saving my life." Banxia then bowed politely.

Young general, Jun Han grew up in the military camp and has always been unruly.

When he saw Banxia's face, which was not frightened at all, his eyes darkened slightly.

"Pretend to be calm." This was the first reaction of the young general Jun Han.

When encountering such dangerous things, men will panic, let alone women. What they hate most is women who pretend to be calm and not genuine at all.

There was still no expression on Banxia's face, and she was not angry at the young general's words.

After thanking him again, she took the frightened Shaoyao away.

The young general looked down on her and snorted coldly, "If I had known she was such a pretentious woman, I would not have saved her."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Banxia walking away.

Her walking posture was as steady as water, without any panic or confusion, and her strength was just right, without any weakness in her legs.

The walking posture of Pinellia ternata formed a sharp contrast with the frightened Peony ternata's weak legs.

The young general's pair of beautiful phoenix eyes showed a smile. It was really not fake. This woman was actually not afraid at all. Interesting, interesting!

"Master, are you okay?" Daonan, the servant beside Jun Han, chased over and asked worriedly.

Jun Han collected his thoughts: "Do you think this young master looks like someone is in trouble?"

Daonan was relieved and said: "Young master, don't be so reckless in the future. If something happens to you, the old marshal will have to kill me."

Jun Han laughed: "It turns out that you are not worried about me, but your life!"

Daonan curled his lips: "Of course my life is as important as yours."

With a "pa...", Jun Han slapped Daonan on the head: "You are so talkative, only I can handle it."

Daonan grinned and followed him quickly: "Young master, I have found out that the girl in this carriage is the daughter of the Yaohou Mansion who was raised in the countryside and has just been brought back to the capital."

Jun Han snorted: "Who asked you to inquire about this? You are so nosy."

While speaking, the smile on his face did not diminish at all. Daonan knew that the young master was satisfied when he said he was nosy.

“……”

“It’s come to this, but that little bitch still refuses to die. How abominable.” In the carriage, Qingdai’s eyes turned red with anger.

Jin quickly looked outside the car to see if there was anyone, then whispered to comfort her: "Why are you in such a hurry? Now that she's back, there are plenty of ways to kill her."

"Mom, how come she is so lucky?"

"Huh! Lucky. In my hands, even if she turns into Monkey King, she can't fly out of my Five Finger Mountain. Look at her useless brothers, they are obvious examples."

Hearing this, Qingdai smiled with satisfaction.

Thinking of those three useless guys who would die sooner or later, Qingdai felt happier. From now on, the position of Marquis could only belong to her younger brother.

The carriage stopped, and Jin immediately took Banxia into the mansion with great enthusiasm.

She told everyone that Banxia was the legitimate daughter of the mansion, and asked the servants to serve her carefully, and if they were negligent in the slightest, they would be punished.

Banxia just smiled at the servants and didn't say a word from beginning to end.

Thinking back to her previous life, she was like a fool, following Jin to the mansion, thinking that Jin was trying to establish authority for her, so she acted arrogantly.

Now I understand that Jin was trying to create a tricky image for herself so that the servants in the mansion would dislike her from the first sight.

As the saying goes, water can carry a boat but can also capsize it.

After listening to the lady's words, the servants were all a little worried about the young lady's personality. After all, they had never met her before and were afraid that they would not be able to serve her well.

But seeing that the young lady always had a smile on her face and behaved properly, without any airs at all, she seemed very easy to get along with, not as tricky as the rumors had said before!

"Let's go and visit your grandmother first. Your father should be waiting for you at your grandmother's place right now."

"Thank you, mother."

Banxia's attitude was always polite and distant, but no one could find any problem with it.

Originally, Banxia faced the servants with a smile along the way, but Jin was filled with rage.

She had tried her best to please her, but Banxia just wouldn't fall for it, which really pissed her off.

Yaohou Mansion is a large courtyard with seven entrances and exits. The buildings are decorated with carved beams and painted pillars. It looks exquisite no matter from which angle you look at it.

It has an ancient flavor and makes people feel very comfortable. The floor is swept clean by servants and there is not a single leaf on the blue bricks.

Walking along the small bridge in the back garden, next to the Anhe Courtyard in the garden is where my grandmother, Mrs. Hou, lived.

"Grandma, grandma, your granddaughter misses you so much!"

As soon as Qingdai came in, she seemed very lively and hugged the old woman on the high seat and acted coquettishly.

The old marquis's wife also doted on her granddaughter, who was the most beautiful in the capital, and said repeatedly with concern: "It's been a bumpy journey, and my granddaughter has suffered a lot."

Jin smiled and stepped forward: "Mother, why should she be tired? There are carriages along the way and she doesn't have to walk. Besides, how can she say she is tired when she is picking up her own sister home?"

Banxia stood in the hall, watching them laughing and talking, as if she was an outsider who was out of tune with them.

The old marquis's wife then looked at Banxia and asked, "Are you Banxia?"

Jin quickly pulled Banxia over and said, "Mother, this is your little granddaughter Banxia."

In her previous life, when Banxia came back for the first time, she heard Jin say that her grandmother was old and liked to be lively, like to eat big fish and meat, and like to wear colorful clothes.

In order to please her grandmother, she tried every method Jin said, but in the end, the grandmother hated her more and more, and she even refused to look at her in the end.

She knew that she wasn't that close to her grandmother since she had just returned, so using tactics like Qingdai's would make others even more uncomfortable.

Old people are so pitiful, so the only way to start is to get the sympathy of the grandmother first.

She knelt on the ground with a plop and kowtowed continuously: "Grandma, my granddaughter has been unfilial and has not been able to serve you for many years. I kowtow to you to apologize."

The old marquis's wife, who was originally happy, was upset by Banxia's sudden kowtow.

"Get up quickly, my dear granddaughter, why are you doing this!"

Helping Banxia up, she looked at her red forehead, which was caused by knocks due to guilt for not serving her. The old marquis's wife was moved.

"Child, you have been wronged over the years, so pitiful!"

Banxia's tears were rolling in her eyes but they wouldn't fall out. The more they did so, the more heartbreaking it became.

"I'm glad that my dear granddaughter is back, I'm glad that she is back."

After saying that, the old marquis' wife pointed at Yao Hou and said, "Look quickly, that's your father."

Banxia turned her head and looked at the middle-aged man sitting below the old marquis' wife.

Even though he is in his early forties, he is still energetic and looks like a handsome middle-aged man.

"Banxia pays respects to father."

"No, child, don't kowtow."

Yao Hou hurriedly grabbed Banxia who was about to kneel down and kowtow, and said with concern: "Child, do you hate your father after living in the countryside for so many years?"

The same words, the same question. In his previous life, he resented it in his heart so he didn't answer. His father knew in his heart that he hated him, so he rarely appeared in front of him since then.

Now she is not as stupid as before. If she wants to overthrow Jin's status in the family, she must first win the favor of the two people in power in the family.

Jin had told Banxia before that her father didn't like people who talked too much, and if she talked less or not at all, her father would like her.

Therefore, Jin concluded that Banxia would not say anything, and the Marquis would naturally think that Banxia hated him and would not be ashamed to see her again.

"Daddy is Banxia's daddy. Banxia will never hate daddy. Banxia also knows that daddy is doing this for Banxia's good. Banxia knows it in her heart."

Banxia suddenly spoke, which made Jin very angry. She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails almost bit into the gaps between her fingers.

The marquis was moved and clapped Banxia's hand, saying, "Good child, what a good child."

The old marquis's wife also nodded and said, "Although this child grew up in the countryside, he has not been tainted by the slightest breath of country dust. Very good."

At this time, Nanny Wang beside the old marquis's wife reminded, "Old lady, it's time to eat."

The old marquis's wife nodded and said happily, "Let's start the banquet."

Nanny Wang was an elder in the mansion. She glanced at Banxia and always felt that something was wrong.

She hesitated to speak. The old marquis's wife certainly knew what Nanny Wang was worried about.

So they said in two voices: "Girls change a lot when they grow up. It's nothing that she doesn't look like when she was little."

The Marquis naturally noticed it, but Banxia's portrait was presented to him by his cousin in the countryside every year, and she graduall became what she is now, so he didn't find it strange.

"Oh, the younger sister is back, but where are the brothers at home?"

At the dinner table, Jin did this on purpose to make the Marquis angry and make him disappointed in his three useless sons.

Sure enough, Yao Hou's originally happy expression suddenly turned gloomy, because Banxia had just returned and had not had an attack.

Qingdai immediately complained on behalf of Banxia: "The three brothers are the same. They know that their sister is coming back today, but they still want to go out and play and don't even treat Banxia as their sister."

"Qingdai, don't talk nonsense." Jin quickly pretended to scold her.

In her previous life, Banxia cried for a long time at the dinner table because of this incident. She felt that her three brothers did not love her at all.

So in the end no one could eat and they parted on bad terms.

Because of this, the father blamed the three brothers even more, and when the three brothers came back, they were severely punished.

In this life, she watched the mother and daughter making trouble like she was watching monkeys.

She just smiled faintly: "Brother is still young and energetic, it is a good thing for him to go out more often. Daddy doesn't have to be angry about some trivial things."

She said this openly and directly covered up for her three brothers.

At the same time, he showed his generosity, highlighting Qingdai's pettiness.

Qingdai was so angry that her face turned blue, but she couldn't lose her temper in front of her grandmother and father, so she could only endure it.

Banxia quickly picked up a piece of chicken for her father and said, "Dad, I just came here and haven't had a chance yet. I will cook for you and grandma myself tomorrow."

These words made Yao Hou and the old marquis' wife very happy.

"Grandma, you should eat more vegetables. This tofu is soft and flavorful and tastes delicious. Medical books say that vegetables and tofu can prolong life and beautify the skin."

This sentence made Yao Hou's eyes light up: "You also know medicine?"

Banxia smiled: "Dad, our marquis' mansion was established because our grandfather used medicine like a god to save tens of thousands of lives in the palace, which earned us the title of marquis that has been passed down from generation to generation. As a daughter of the Yao family, how dare I forget my roots."

"Hahaha... okay, okay." The marquis was very happy.

"Ever since our Yao family inherited the title of Marquis, we have almost lost all our medical skills. Even my father only knows the basics, not to mention the descendants of this family. It's rare for my daughter to remember her roots and know medical skills!"

The old marquis's wife nodded with satisfaction: "Banxia, Qingdai, as daughters of the Yao family, your grandmother wants to test you."

"Grandma, please give us a question." Banxia and Qingdai said almost in unison.

"Do you know the origin of your names? Qingdai, you are the elder sister so you should speak first."

Qingdai was stunned for a moment. She was called Qingdai since she was born. How could she know the origin of her name?

Jin was also confused. She almost died when she gave birth to Qingdai. She just heard the master say that she needed to calm down, so she just named her Qingdai!

Seeing that Qingdai couldn't answer, the old marquis's wife and the marquis shook their heads at the same time, and then looked at Banxia.

Banxia was still smiling, calmly and confidently: "According to the Shennong's Herbal Classic, My name Pinellia, It grows around the summer solstice, which coincides with my birthday. Pinellia is a medicine that has the effects of drying dampness and resolving phlegm, relieving adverse effects and stopping vomiting, and can also eliminate carbuncle and swelling when used raw."

After he finished speaking, Yao Hou and the old marquis's wife nodded repeatedly.

The old marquis’ wife looked at Qingdai with disappointment, and then asked Banxia: “Do you know the origin of your sister’s name?”

“Qingdai, calms the nerves, has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, cooling blood and removing spots, clearing the liver and purging (fire).”

The pleasant and melodious voice answered, making the old marquis' wife and the marquis very happy.

Qingdai has always been praised by others. This was the first time she was suppressed by others, and she felt very unhappy.

"It's just a medical skill, what's the big deal?"

Qingdai's complaint instantly attracted the attention of Yao Hou and the old marquis's wife.

The two people who were originally happy were ruined by Qingdai's complaints.

Yao Hou scolded unhappily: "Knowing medicine is of great significance. Don't forget that all the wealth and glory you enjoy today are due to your superb medical skills."

Seeing that Yao Hou was angry, Jin Shi hurried out to coax him: "Master, the child is young and ignorant, teach her slowly."

Yao Hou snorted coldly: "Banxia is even younger than her, how can she know everything? It's all because of you who spoiled her."

Jin Shi was angry, but she couldn't vent at this moment and could only endure it.

Banxia finally found the right opportunity, took out the gift box and said: "Dad, don't be angry, I also brought a gift for my younger brother this time. Dad, please pass it on to him!"

This sentence reminded everyone that the younger brother Xuanshen was not at home either.

Before, Jin only mentioned the three brothers, but did not mention Xuanshen.

Banxia said nothing. What else did the old marquis’ wife and Yao Hou not understand?

"Good boy, daddy will pass on the gift. You are sensible."

Jin was so angry that her teeth were chattering. She wanted to throw Banxia out immediately, but she could only endure the frustration.

After returning, the old lady drank tea and smiled as if she was in a good mood.

Nanny Wang came over and said, "Madam, I can see that the Fifth Miss is a powerful one. No one can bully her."

The old marquis's wife smiled, "Did you see Jin's face? She was so angry that she turned blue, but she could only hold it in."

"Madam, you don't need to worry too much about Miss Banxia in the future. Are you relieved now?"

The old marquis's wife's face turned cold, "How can I be relieved? And those three good-for-nothings, which one of them can give me peace of mind?"

"Madam, look, Miss Banxia is back, and unlike the rumors, Miss Banxia may be able to turn the situation around."

The old marquis's wife nodded with relief, "This is the only way now. It's just that Jin's family is powerful. I'm afraid Banxia will suffer in the future."

"Madam, for the sake of the dead lady, you can't be soft-hearted."

Speaking of this, the old lady couldn't help but shed tears. Yes, she couldn't fall down. She had been fighting with Jin for so long and she didn't believe that she couldn't beat her.

She was really fed up with having to pretend to be flattering Jin every day and pretending to be very doting on them mother and daughter.
